Russia did not become the country we see now overnight. For decades, the entire civilized world has been watching the Russian Federation turning into another reincarnation of the “prison of nations”. However, only the war has forced the international community to rethink some things that previously they were afraid to think about, lest they bring trouble. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Western policy toward Russia is changing dramatically. And mostly, it happens according to the “better late than never” principle. This is what the world-renowned Israeli and British virtuoso pianist of Russian origin, Evgeny Kisin, said in an interview with Canadian magazine Stir.

“Putin’s watchdog” boasts that his accomplices took the control over Svitlychne “another territory where the power was abused by bandits”. It is difficult to argue with this statement since Svitlychne has been under control of LPR for 8 years already. Anyone who can use the map can verify that this is a village located in the deep rear of russian troops. However, there are other ridiculous things in Don-Don’s report.

To be on the safe side, the monument to an old woman holding the USSR flag, which became a symbol of supporting the Russian war in Ukraine, was taken away from the Russian city of Belgorod.

In Russian social media, the topic of surviving during the nuclear war is becoming more and more popular.

Human rights activists think that “someone desperately wants promotion for searching “spies””. 

“Idel.Realii” referring to the “First department” human rights protection project that FSB summon the relatives of those who left Russia and persuade them to talk those leaving Russia over.

Since the war started, many requests were made on consultation from people against whom FSB wanted to open criminal cases. Many people have left Russia since that time. However, now the project notes that their family members are summoned to talk to FSB and persuade their family members to return to Russia. 

Human right activists consider that “most likely someone wants to get the promotion for searching for spies.”

“First department” knows about at least five cases.
