I still can’t get rid of the idea of why and how we allowed the war in Donbass. We are a peaceful, educated and hospitable people, but here it is. I am not satisfied with the official answers of Poroshenko and Zelensky. After all, I saw how it was all prepared, how it was stirred up, how it was implemented. The first Maidan of 2004 only by miracle escaped clashes and blood. Back then there were still cultural brakes, it was…
The world is changing, whether we want this or not. It is possible to deceive a lot and to say that Russia is waging war in Donbass. It is possible to shame and call those who have a different point of view marginal. But the truth, like a drop of water, will leak out and destroy this wall. For the first time in 7 years, the action “Peace for the children of Donbass” was held in Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate,…

Following the 7th anniversary of the Odessa’s massacre, Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative of Russia to the UN Dmitry Polyansky announced on May 5th a speech in the UN Security Council of eyewitnesses of the tragedy of May 2nd, 2014, in the Arria formula. “Aleksey Albu, Sergey Kirichuk and Dmitry Fuchedzhi, who were directly at the scene of the tragedy in Odessa on May 2, 2014, will take part in the May 5th meeting of the Security Council in the ‘Arria Formula’….
A little more than an hour ago [at the time of writing, May 6th 2021], the Ukrainian armed forces shelled the village of Mine No. 7 in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk. This was reported to our channel by the volunteer Andrey Lysenko, who was delivering food packages around the village and came under fire. “They were hitting the residential sector on Safonov Street with bursts of BMP fire. Shells exploded in the air above my head. At this time,…
Going through old family albums, I stare at the faces in the yellowed photographs. Ordinary unremarkable people. I don’t even know many of the people whose lives have been captured on impassive film. I do not know why they were in that frozen moment of the past next to my relatives, what roads brought them together. Different fates, almost forgotten and lost somewhere in the pages of history. Stories that they created together, sometimes sacrificing not only their names, but…
The mother of the deceased child (Vladik Dmitryev) wrote a letter and would like it to be read by as many people as possible. “Writing a letter. I haven’t written such letters, I do not know how to choose the right words. They killed my son, they took away the sense of my life. But they do not understand this pain, because their children are at home and happy. And I live only with the belief that the culprits will…
Today, militants of the 59th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces used an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with an improvised explosive device. The target that Ukrainian militants chose for committing a terrorist act was a residential area of the settlement of Aleksandrovskoye (DPR), where they dropped an explosive device near the house at the address 36/2 Dorozhnaya Street. At that moment, TWO civilians were in the courtyard. As a result of the criminal actions of Ukrainian militants, a child born in 2016 was…
A very evidential video of how the Armed Forces of Ukraine observe the truce in Donbass. A Ukrainian soldier fires a hand-held RPG-7 anti-tank grenade launcher towards the contact line. Judging by the manner of shooting, the fire is not directed at any specific target, but at an area, it’s not to exclude that it’s directed at a settlement. Another important detail. After the shot is fired, the soldier throws out his hand in a Nazi salute. It would be good to…
It was always obvious to me that the downing of the Malaysian Boeing over Ukraine was a provocation of our Anglo-Saxon “partners”. Well, because in general it’s their modus operandi, because it was absolutely necessary for them, and because all their subsequent activity fits very well into this hypothesis. And not so long ago, in the course of a conversation with experts on the Western media, I received extremely convincing proof of their guilt. The fact is that for at…
The criminals from the “Tornado” battalion are being released despite their crimes It was not often during these seven years that Ukrainian militants were jailed in Ukraine. More often, the war crimes of Ukrainian soldiers were hidden from the public, in order to not shock a society besotted with Russophobic propaganda. However, the crimes of some “volunteer battalions” were so shocking and resonant that it was simply impossible to hide them. It is precisely for this reason that the story about…
About the release of the new work of Aleksandr Gaponenko. Recently, the Moscow publishing house “Book World” released a book of the famous Latvian human rights activist, scientist and permanent author of the RNL (Russian People’s Line) Aleksandr Vladimirovich Gaponenko “European fascism: the problem of its identification and prevention”. We publish a conversation with the author about his new work. Aleksandr Vladimirovich, why did you decide to turn to the analysis of the problems of such a political movement as fascism,…
Sixteen years ago, the film “Mission Serenity” was released. We think it’s a great movie. The series “Firefly” is also, of course, great. And although it was closed then by Hollywood bosses (according to their own, as usual, strange reasons), but millions of fans still adore this series and film. We can talk at length about the phenomenon of the attractiveness of the universe in which Captain Malcolm Reynolds lives. This is as well the presence of a peculiar family,…
Aleksandr Kontorovich, writer: Very often, the author is usually asked – “How was the idea of your book born, and what did you mean by this?” This usually happens after the book has been published, and numerous critics have managed to tear its plot to shreds, coming up with their own explanation for each of them. It’s like saying: the author wanted to say this… “No,” says another critic. “You’re wrong, he meant something else!” And when all the debaters…
Reporter Andrey Rudenko: “Today there was a shelling of the settlement Donetsk Severny. You see – here the shell arrived, not a simple one, but from the MLRS Grad of Ukraine’s armed forces. After the People’s Militia received the order to open fire with pinpoint strikes on the Ukrainian fire points, they started to use the ‘Partisan’ system. This is an ordinary tube, to be more precise, not really ordinary one, because it was prepared in a special way, and in…
An unprecedented political attack was launched in Latvia against six Latvian Russian-speaking journalists in the last year’s December. Criminal proceedings were instituted on the initiative of the local State Security Service for violating the international sanctions regime against those persons. The search was carried out at the seventh Latvian journalist, freelancer of the Russian portal “Спутник” (Sputnik), after he returned to Latvia from a business trip already in the February 2021. Journalists are charged with the fact of cooperating with…
In the geopolitical balance of power Baltic countries are situated just between Western European civilization and Russian civilization. The balance of power between these geopolitical centers of power changes from time to time. The geopolitical pendulum swings from side to side, and the Baltic nations find themselves in the sphere of influence of one or the other center of civilization. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the pendulum of power swung towards Western Europe. Therefore Baltic nations fell into…
I did not expect that the discussion of the mid-2000s about whether Russia needs its own global project would return. At that time, this discussion was of an abstract nature, not everyone was sure that Russia would survive at all… But today the question is quite different, because it is already obvious to almost everyone that Russia’s role in the world will significantly increase in the very near future. Actually, it has already increased, thanks to Putin (no kidding), but…
The shelling of Elenovka started approximately at 7 in the morning. More than 20 shells fell on the living sector. Shelling came from the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Exactly at that time Alina was preparing her 2 children for school. The first shell arrived on the facade of the house, the second one – on the roof. You can see the car smashed by shrapnel. The entrance is destroyed. Alina, what has happened? “We started to prepare for…
The Ukrainian Armed Forces used 60-mm munitions in the shelling of Elenovka [a settlement in the DPR – ed]. These mortars comply with NATO standards and are in service with the alliance countries. This is reported by the Joint Control and Coordination Commission of the DPR. It is important to note that by shelling Elenovka, the government in Kiev hinders the work of the humanitarian missions of the Red Cross and the UN. The ICRC and the UN deliver humanitarian…
Responsibility for war crimes committed by the armed forces has not been removed We all remember the scandalous acquittal of a militant of the National Guard of Ukraine by an Italian court due to the lack of direct evidence of his guilt. However, few people paid attention to the fact that the actions of the Ukrainian army and the National Guard of Ukraine were recognised as war crimes by the decision of the Italian court. Italian photojournalist Andrea Rocchelli and…
What actually caused the coma of the opposition blogger and what substance was found in his body? An investigation into the alleged “poisoning” of Navalny August 20th 2020. News feeds explode with breaking new: “Aleksey Navalny became ill on the plane. He was taken to the Omsk hospital. The oppositionist is in a coma”. Gigabytes of versions, rumours, fakes, sometimes indistinguishable from each other. Doctors explain their position to journalists as patiently as they can, Navalny’s supporters picket the clinic…
Russia has seen a revolution in the field of missile weapons.As is always the case in Russia, the most important achievements pass unnoticed. And now only experts have noticed that in the field of missile weapons, Russia has made truly revolutionary progress, which allows us to reconsider our loss in the technological race of one of the important fronts of the cold war. The adoption of the BGM-109 “Tomahawk” cruise missile by the US Army in March 1983 marked the…
Hello, dear friends. It’s the sixth working day [article was written on 20/02/2021 – ed], which means what? That’s right, Russia will be dying one day longer this week. “Rosatom” is switching to domestic software. The state corporation purchased 20,000 licenses for 87 enterprises from the developer “MoyOfis”. The solution allows to create and edit documents from standard templates in accordance with the requirements of GOST, fully use documents in the Open Document Format, as well as exchange data in…
Russophobia is very, very expensive. “Russia and Belarus have signed an agreement on the transshipment of Belarusian oil products exported to other countries through Russian ports in the Baltic Sea. This is reported by TASS. Russia is ready to start the transit of Belarusian oil products through the Baltic ports of Ust-Luga and St. Petersburg in March. The agreement stipulates that from 2021 to 2023, they can accept up to 9.8 million tons of Belarusian oil products.” “The decision of…
I have to say that specific advertising policy of the former head of MCST Babayan in the form of periodic high-profile claims that the new processor Elbrus E2K is about to “break” Intel, permanently ending zilch, being zero from the beginning, has raised in me distrust of this company since the beginning of the 2000s. Moreover, when Babayan with a team of leading employees left for Intel in 2004, I thought that this was definitely all. And yes, the company…
The NATO leadership pays great attention to the informational support of its activities. In the structure of the alliance headquarters in Brussels, there is a whole department of public diplomacy, which is responsible for promoting Euro-Atlantic ideas among the European population and forming a positive attitude among citizens to any military or political activity of the organisation. To fulfil this task, each command or structural element of NATO (in the Parliamentary Assembly or the Military Committee) has a press service,…
On the night of January 5th to 6th, 2018, ISIS militants used unmanned aerial vehicles for the first time to attack the Russian Hmeimim air base in Syria. 13 drones attended the strike. Few people know, but six of them were destroyed using electronic warfare (EW), the remaining seven were shot down by the Pantsir-S missile and gun system. Since that night, the militants have not given up for a single month trying to break through our air defences in…
Oleg, seven years have passed since the coup d’etat, the so-called Euromaidan, took place in Ukraine. Over the years, passions have subsided a little, but the bitterness has increased, because our compatriots on the other side of the border (and it does not matter whether they are infected with Ukrainian propaganda or not) ended up not only at a broken trough, but with a broken life too. Recall that Maidan was held under slogans about combatting corruption. What is happening…
The UAF used phosphorous ammunition prohibited by the Geneva Convention on the positions of the DPR People’s Militia. Since the beginning of the February 18th, the armed formations of Ukraine have violated the Set of Additional Measures to monitor compliance with the truce 4 times, committing 3 fire provocations. In the Gorlovka direction, the militants of the 137th and 503rd battalion of marines of the 35th UAF Naval Infantry Brigade, in violation of the 2nd paragraph of additional measures from…
The National Council for Electronic Media of Latvia is introducing new IT equipment to detect views of “unfriendly” sites that mainly broadcast programs from Russia and Ukraine. This was stated by the head of the organisation Ivars Āboliņš. Experts have recorded that Latvian TV viewers prefer to watch TV shows and movies on Russian and Ukrainian websites. To make the fight against illegal content as effective as possible, the National Council for Electronic Media this year introduced a new, more…
Cases involving blogger Aleksey Navalny in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), according to statistics, are considered more than twice as fast as other cases against Russians. In this fact, the lawyer, Candidate of Judicial Science Aleksandr Zorin sees a clear bias concerning the basis of the speed of consideration. “So if, for example, in the practice of I and my colleagues in the European court, we did not observe a period of consideration of complaints that is less…
The second largest port in Latvia continues to lose cargo that flows from the Baltic states to Russian competitors. The negative consequences of Latvia’s transit standoff with Russia turned out to be so serious that the Balts were forced to go all-in and are now trying to block the development of the Russian promising port of Ust-Luga, using the EU’s political leverage. A similar conclusion can be reached by reading the material of the BALTNEWS news agency, where, using the…
Jewish capital was formed in Europe in a specific environment, and therefore became the first platform of globalisation. The subsequent transfers of Venetian trade and financial technology to Britain and Holland, described by A. I. Fursov, would have been incomplete without the participation of the Jewish financial network component. The modern West is largely the fruit not only of the Crusades and the Reformation, the Masons and the “closed networks of old schoolmates”, but also of the integrating elements of…
RT has obtained documents related to the publication “Project”, known for its investigation under the name “Cart from the Kremlin“ and a number of other materials “exposing” the Russian authorities. As it turned out, the self-described independent media was funded from abroad — in the form of so-called grants from European and American authorities. The editors accepted the money, promising detailed reporting on audience growth, the distribution of their materials and the reaction to them, including in political circles. At…
The Russian vaccine is accepted in the European Union, Elon Musk invites Putin via his social network, Morgan Stanley offers to invest in Russia… Bogomolov scolds the current “Europe” (not a lot, though, explaining what he means by it)… Are they all crazy out there? Or is it such subtle trolling? I have already read somewhere on the Internet that since Musk has a voice message chat, Putin will have to speak for himself and then he will be exposed……
The flash mob “Love is stronger than fear” was announced by the head of the network of Navalny’s regional headquarters, resident of Luxembourg, and Foreign Minister of the virtual government in exile Leonid Volkov. Back on February 4th, on the air of the YouTube channel “Navalny LIVE”, he announced the suspension of the protest actions. However, on the 8th Volkov and the London-based executive director of the “Anti-corruption Foundation“ Vladimir Ashurkov (both are wanted persons) were called to the carpet,…
Navalny and others like him are not politicians or fighters. They are puppets. We armed ourselves with evidence and made the first attempt to understand whose hands control these “dolls”. By the way, some of these arms are covered with the sleeves of the uniforms of the Russian Federal Security Service. So who is behind the “investigations” that were supposed to “shake Russia”? Whose agents were Navalny and his associates? The answers are in our investigation. Tsargrad continues a series…
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission ended its work in Ukraine without results, noting that more progress is needed to complete the first revision of the program, the IMF’s permanent representative in the country, Goesta Ljungman, said in a statement. The IMF mission in December 2020 began its work on the revision of the stand-by program. The National Bank of Ukraine noted the progress in the negotiations with the IMF mission and highly appreciated the chances of its revision. On January…
Advanced monitoring systems, minesweepers, and unmanned mini-submarines The hysteria surrounding the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline does not subside. While the Danish authorities name the final terms of construction, the US continues to put pressure on Europe, threatening heavy sanctions. Kiev adds fuel to the fire, which puts the frighteners on by citing the terrible economic consequences of stopping gas transit through Ukraine. Berlin has its own arguments. While the standoff is going on in the political plane, and no…
There are just no words… The SBU is now terrorising and arresting elderly people who write that they are nostalgic for the USSR. On the 5th, a grandmother was arrested in Zaporozhye, and on the 11th – a grandfather in Cherkassky. The “crime” committed by these elderly people is that they dared to write on Facebook that they are nostalgic about the USSR and would like it to return. This is regarded as a call for the overthrow of the…
The five largest seaports of Ukraine in January 2021 sharply reduced cargo transshipment. In general, cargo turnover fell by 22.9%, or by 2.78 million tons – to 9.35 million tons. According to the Seaports Administration of Ukraine, the most significant contribution to this was made by the real collapse of ore transit, which in the first month of this year decreased by almost 16-fold, compared to January 2020. The drop in ore transit to 343,750 occurred due to the fact…
The level of NATO’s aggressiveness against our country has increased to such an extent that the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying: “NATO and the EU openly interfere in Russia’s affairs, supporting protest sentiments”. I.e., perhaps for the first time in years, the military organisation of NATO – not the intelligence agencies or propaganda, but the military organisation of the west – has made a transition to a new level of hostility to us. They are well aware that…
Every escalation carried out by Kiev occurs during the days of political negotiations. In the Republics, even children living on the contact line know that it is dangerous to walk on the streets on the day of negotiations – they will bomb. So what’s the point? Intimidating people. Causing maximum damage to the infrastructure. The division of people into their own and someone else’s. A clear response to all proposals for the settlement of the conflict. When the students were…
A full list of people who signed the call addressed to young people for illegal actions has been published. Desperate/conscientious “Novaya Gazeta“ has launched a petition titled “The immediate release of Aleksey Navalny”. The addressee is listed as “Taxpayers of the Russian Federation”. After reading this list, the immature minds of schoolchildren and students may think that, like, it is necessary, so many solid titles and names! But what is remarkable, friends, in this list there is not a single…
The OSCE has not received any reports from observers about the presence of Russian troops in Donbass, the chairman of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission, Yaşar Halit Çevik, told the UN Security Council on February 11th. “The second issue was the Russian presence in Donbass. I know what Mr. Ertugrul Apakan (the previous head of the OSCE SMM) has said about this. During my work as the chief monitor, I can also say that there were no reported cases of…
The journalists of the “BBC Ukraine” TV channel visited the village of Novoye Zalesye near Kiev, where relatives of Russian opposition blogger Aleksey Navalny live. One of them is even the head of this locality. In total, 11 people with the surname Navalny now live in Novoye Zalesye. “My grandfather and his grandfather were brothers. Cousins, or what, I can’t say… his brother lives here, next door to me, Aleksandr,” the village head Pavel Navalny told reporters. When talking to…
A large number of patriotic people, many of whom do not even adhere to left-wing (not to mention communist) views, consider it necessary to implement the USSR-2 project. I emphasise: not to return to Russia the lost lands (which, in principle, would be understandable, although not always feasible), but precisely to recreate the system of national republics that are absolutely equal politically, regardless of the difference in economic weight. One doesn’t need to be a genius to understand that if…
Zelensky really managed to “surpass” his predecessor Vladimir Zelensky started to enjoy himself after the successful, as he believes, closure of three opposition TV channels. The President of Ukraine really managed to “surpass” his predecessor – Petro Poroshenko, who never dared to take such a step. But the former comedian is not going to stop there. The political strategists of the President’s Office are driving him into a narrow electoral niche of “nationalistic patriotism”. Therefore, it is quite logical that…
What the connection is between the propaganda of sexual perversions and the closure of opposition TV in Ukraine The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decided to update the library fund of the “new European power”. In particular, colourful comics about romantic homosexual passion are recommended for young and middle-aged children. The state procurement budget is 666,000 hryvnias. It is not surprising that the propaganda of Euro-gay values has flourished in Ukraine with all the colours of the LGBT flag. Only…
