Category: War in Ukraine

All citizens of the russian federation are equal, but some are a little more equal. It is no secret that most servicemen of the russian armed forces are young, healthy guys from remote regions – the third class according to methodology of the famous kremlin propagandist Timofey Sergeyev. This “methodology” is discussed by the Telegram channel nofake.

According to the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation, Sergey Kravtsov, in Russian occupied Zaporizhzhia oblast students will be able to study Ukrainian language following the example of national republics within Russian Federation. He said that schools in Zaporizhzhia will open on 1 September and will work according to Russian standards. These standards are well known to representatives of the indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation. In the national republics of Russia, the study of national languages has become voluntary and optional since 2018.

The obsolete T-62, which were in production in the Soviet Union from 1961 to 1975, are increasingly appearing on the Russian side in the Russia-Ukraine war. The experts have The “experts” have also taken up who state Ukrainian do not have enough good tanks. Consequently, they can combat with these ancient tank and there is no use venturing new ones. This position is a vivid embodiment of the RF’s military strategy.  

The Russian regions’ patronage over destroyed Ukrainian cities is a “genius” idea. Not even because the war is in full swing or because people were not asked as usual. This is where a contradiction between governors’ interests, for whom the priority is to demonstrate their loyalty to the center, and those of residents, at whose expense this very patronage will occur, will become fully apparent.

Putin, members of his family and cronies have long been hiding in bunkers somewhere in the Altai Mountains. Now, other officials are beginning to prepare in secrecy for the worst-case scenarios of the war in Ukraine. According to reliable “Utro TV” sources, in the last few days government employees of some federal structures (Presidential Administration, Government Apparatus of federal ministries, State Duma, Federation Council) have received notification from FSO and FSB of possible urgent evacuation from Moscow in case of “urgent need”. By urgent need, they mean, in particular, a possible threat of nuclear weapons used against russia. According to the plan, the officials’ families will also be evacuated.

Telegram channel 1ADAT (the movement in occupied Chechnya against Kadyrov’s viceroys of the occupiers) reports on how the Kremlin appointees in the republic are trying to ensure that the relatives of those who died for Putin’s ambitions do not receive any compensation. Although the bunker rat personally promised millions even for wounds, let alone death.

In Kyiv oblast, in the village of Bolshaya Dymerka, Brovary district, which had been under Russian occupation, a manual for the Russian military was found with instructions on how to communicate with the local population and what narratives to avoid. Pictures of the instructions were published  by Ukrainian volunteer Melania Podolyak in her Telegram channel. The manual says that you can kill, seize, pillage justifying it by saying that it is all the Ukrainians’ and the US’s fault. Cynicism has reached the “Russian propagandist” level.

When it became known that russia had begun reactivating ancient T-62 tanks, it was understandable: after all, one-third of the new tanks had burned down in Ukraine and there was nothing to replace them with. But optimists hoped that the tanks would be sent for modernization, because they are not even equipped with dynamic protection, so the turret of this under-tank is penetrated even by an elementary RPG-7. However, it turned out that no one was going to modernize the reactivated vehicles, they were simply shipped off in the direction of Ukraine. It is easy to see that the special operation is going according to ‘the plan’.

The old woman with the Soviet flag was a failure for the Kremlin propagandists. After her image was replicated to the point of absurdity, it turned out that the real Anna Ivanovna supported the AFU and cursed the occupiers. The untalented team had to look feverishly for a new symbol for the special operation. The new hero was eight-year-old Alyosha, who saluted a column of russian tanks on the roadside. And they are in a hurry to capitalize on this propaganda, before it turns out that the boy, for example, works for Ukrainian intelligence.

During the three-month war in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin has turned both the “war party” and those who want peace against him. The Kremlin hopes that he will leave “in the foreseeable future” and is already looking for a successor.

The pro-Kremlin media spread the story of the “Russian Spartans,” defenders of the village of Slatino in Kharkiv oblast. Legend has it that on May 15, 11 Russian soldiers were defending against an enemy that was not twice, not ten times, but 30 times larger! Of course, the defenders repulsed all assault attempts, waited for help, inflicted colossal losses on the Ukrainians, and did not lose a single soldier themselves. The story is beautiful, just a pity it has been made up. This can be understood from the way the authors have bullshitted about the forces of the parties, but what about the facts?

Russia on the whole and the colonies in particular likely lack good news. A series of humiliating defeats and the defeat of a few battalion-tactical groups at the attempt to cross the Seversky Donets River, the complete withdrawal of the Russian troops from five regions (Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Chernyhiv, Sumy and Mykolaiv regions) are difficult to be powdered by Soloviov’s and Skabeieva’s speeches. The matter is that in the coming weeks the situation is going to get only worse as Ukrainians have already made a significant counter-offensive success in the Kharkiv region. By the end of May, the Kharkiv region is so far likely to be the sixth region which the Russians will heroically retreat to the previously prepared positions’. 

On one of the Radio Liberty’s sites, the Buriat publicist Radzhana Duhar-De Ponte has published an extensive article running about the fate of her people and their responsibility for the war against Ukraine. She does not absolve the Buriarts of the responsibilty, she suggest sharing it with the ethnic Russians equally though. The publicist reminds of the mere statistics: there are 462, 000 Buriats in the Russian Federation whereas the number of ethnic Russians is 111 million.  It is far from being equal. Why did the Buriats then become the face of the war?

Active recruiting for the Chechen unit was halted almost immediately with the argument that there were already more people interested than necessary. This completely unexpected turn is complemented by other news, giving it an alarming undertone.

Now that the “special operation” has exposed the true state of the indigenous peoples in the Russian Federation, many have realized that for Moscow nobody can fit in: the Kremlin is equally at ease destroying both Ukrainians and RF citizens, regardless of their nationality. However, many indigenous people who were born and raised in the Russian Federation simply cannot imagine any other attitude towards them. Moscow has stolen their chance to live in a state of their own, and now it is trying to make sure that their children and grandchildren do not get that chance.
