Rusija vs. Ukrajina aka. "Putin - še sladkih 16 let na oblasti?"

Odgovorni urednik Mediazzzone, precej velikega trnja v peti trenutne oblasti, je dobil 25 dni čuze ker je RT štos, da po novem igra v bendu.

https://twitter.com/Mortis_Banned/statu...
To give you a sense how outrageous the verdict against @mediazzzona's editor @sssmirnov was.
Navalny's HQ posted a message of support by Dmitry Spirin, leader of a rock band and Smirnov lokalike.
Someone joked "since when does @sssmirnov play in a band?" and tagged Smirnov.

Aretirali so ga čez vikend, ko je bil na sprehodu s 6-letnim sinom, video:

Ja, to je zadnja reciklirana novica.
Potem se pa konča.

Pač so novinarske hiše vidle, da so jih rusi zasačl pri kooperaciji s tujimi agencijami s pravimi dokazi.
In zdej ne vejo kako naprej. Čakajo da kakšna novinarska hiša mrdne, potem bodo pa to recikliral. Ali pa čakajo na vladne vohunske agencije na navodila kako naprej, ali pa čakajo na navodila iz tabora Navalnyja.

in pa agenti nemčije, švedske in poljske med protestniki... v sagi "se zgodi"

Potrebno je imeti "zunanjega sovražnika", da se zakrije vse druge svinjarije. "Fatalni" je pa itak največji "heroj". Zastrupljen z bojda najsmrtonosnejšim strupom in še kar živ. Ali je novičok zanič ali pa je šlo za kaj drugega ali pa zanič in je vse lepo nameščeno. Kje sta pa Škripala? So ju odstranili po poteku roka uporabnosti? Če bi ruska bolast želela pospraviti Navalnega bi to verjetno že storili. Gospodarje ZDA očitno zelo moti Rusija, ker je ne morejo ropati zastonj kot to delajo drugje po svetu. Sedaj pa vsak malo bevska. Sploh zvesti puldlji iz Baltika in Poljske. Morda bi bilo bolje, če bi bili tiho. Večinoma so po njih gazili z obeh strani. Tako Rusi kot "zahod" od Nemčije in Avstrije oz. predhodnih državnih tvorb naprej. Nemčija seveda lahko laja iz polne riti. Za njih je važno, da države EU še vedno njihovi vazali, poleg ruskih surovin seveda. Močna Evropa ni ravno v interesu Nemčije, Rusije in ZDA. Tako ali tako imajo fašisti onstran Atlantika baze po celi Evropi. Države večinoma nastavljajo zadnjik eni ali drugi strani oz bolje rečeno politiki. Narod pa živi od parol.

Konni (dog) @ Wikipedia

A popular anecdote was when the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, met President Vladimir Putin, Putin brought Konni to their meetings. On 21 January 2007, the two leaders met at Bocharov Ruchei, the President's summer residence in Sochi, and at the beginning of their meeting Konni wandered into the room, leading Putin to ask Merkel, who reportedly has a "deep-seated fear of dogs", "The dog does not bother you, does she? She's a friendly dog and I'm sure she will behave herself."[25] Merkel responded in Russian, a language in which she is fluent, "She doesn't eat journalists, after all."[26] Konni then proceeded to sniff the German Chancellor, and sat at her feet. Merkel was reported to have shown "apparent discomfort".[27] Putin later said that, after learning of Merkel's fear of dogs, he apologized to her.[28]

Dobro leto v mandat je Borrell spregledal.

An aggressively-staged press conference and the expulsion of three EU diplomats during my visit indicate that the Russian authorities did not want to seize this opportunity to have a more constructive dialogue with the EU. While not fully unexpected, this is regrettable, also, dare I say, from a Russian strategic perspective. As EU, we will have to draw the consequences, reflect carefully on the direction we want to give to our relations with Russia and proceed in a united manner with determination.

After an hour-long break, the judge refuses to recuse herself. The prosecutor reads a letter from Ignat Artemenko, the 94-year-old veteran, who says he won't participate further after feeling unwell during last week's hearing and blames Navalny for his ill health.
Navalny, visibly agitated, demands to know how the prosecutor got hold of Artemenko's statement. Artemenko read out his statement from a piece of paper last week and didn't appear to understand what was going on. Navalny accused his relatives of "trading off the old man"
"Are we meant to believe he got behind a computer and wrote this statement saying he wants the prosecution to support his interests? Obviously it's a forgery – it's not even in the language that a 95-year-old man uses," says Navalny. "You are using this poor old man as a puppet."
Artemenko's grandson Igor Kolesnikov is testifying. Navalny tries to ask him some questions. Everyone is yelling at each other. Navalny is now on his fifth reprimand. "I'm trying to understand how you wound up on the slippery slope of trafficking your own grandfather!" he says.
Navalny is now asking Kolesnikov why his grandfather was listed as a founder of his mobile phone repair firm at the tender age of 86. "What, was the old man fixing your phones?" he says. "Kolesnikov has a longstanding habit of forging documents!"

“Yes, we will no longer use the phrase ‘prisoner of conscience’ when referring to [Navalny], insofar as our legal and political department studied Navalny’s statements from the mid-2000s and determined that they qualify as hate speech,” Artemyev told Mediazona.
“Nevertheless, our calls for his immediate release remain in force, as he is being persecuted for purely political reasons.”

After the Second World War, the situation generally remained. True, the communists in Europe lost their positions because of the American holeyards in the Marshall plan, but they remained the conductors of Soviet ideology.
The Hungarian Uprising of 1956 changed everything.

Then the pro-Soviet communists were overthrown in Hungary, the non-Soviet communist Imre Nagy came to power, who promised restructuring and democratization, and also withdrew from the Warsaw Pact.
The reaction of the USSR was not long in coming.

The communist parties (still pro-Moscow) diligently promoted the general line of Moscow that fascist elements had revolted in Hungary, and that Soviet tanks had been introduced there quite correctly.
Of course, tens of thousands of refugees from Hungary told something completely different.

And this is where the split in the Western communist movement began.
The term "tankies" itself (reads like "tannis") originated in the British Communist Party, which split against the background of the Hungarian doctor. This was the name of the supporters of Soviet intervention and, in fact, the introduction of tanks.

...

Time passed, the pro-Soviet communists grew old and wan at their party meetings, but then the USSR ended, and with it - the red threat, that is, the incentive to share income with the population.
Gen X, and then the millennials with the zoomers, suddenly discovered that they, unlike the boomers, can no longer afford a house, a couple of cars and university studies. And many moved to the left.
Of course, many were lazy to create trade unions and conduct electoral politics.
A much simpler way is to convince yourself that oligarchic capitalism is to blame for all your problems, you live in an evil empire, and in the USSR (which no longer exists and cannot be verified) there was the promised land, destroyed by those very capitalists.
Many did so.

...

In historical times, the tankies' worldview was most influenced by one event: the US invasion of Iraq.
Absolutely unfounded, and at the same time supported by many media, it broke the "fighters against imperialism." Since then, any actions of the collective West began to be perceived with hostility.
In general, imagine that your political worldview is the early System of a Down and memes like “Gaddafi was killed for such sins”.
Get tankies that haven't changed much since then

Time passed, the war on terrorism did not end, the Great Recession began. By this time, a full-fledged online community had already formed, where, in addition to tales about milk rivers and jelly banks in the USSR, they supported any dictators, if only they were against the United States.
In 2011, Motherland finally remembered the lost knee of the communists. And she called. Occupy Wall Street, of course, consisted of more than just tankies. But the RT channel, created as a result of the loss of the information war during the invasion of Georgia in 2008, grabbed onto this topic.

Next were Snowden and Assange. Of course, RT could not ignore the topic of spying on US citizens and ripping off the veil of Western diplomacy.
We will omit why incriminating RF plums were removed from the WikiLeaks arrays. The main thing is that, from the point of view of many leftists, RT has become the mouthpiece of freedom.

The symbiosis of tankies and RT started from here. Many justified themselves with a free platform, but in fact they believed about everything that was said in the RT about Libya, Syria, Ukraine and elsewhere.
Because RT echoed their beliefs about the evil empire and CIA coups.

Oddly enough, the last four years have not been particularly influenced by tankies, except that many have noted passive support for Trump. It sounds strange, but logical, if you remember that the main enemy of the tankies is the American establishment, and Trump has positioned himself as a candidate from the people.
A collection of sayings of modern tankies can be evaluated in your account @HotTankie or link.
https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/tanki...




I will try to further explain the ideology of average representatives.

So, everything that you were told in school in history lessons is a lie. In fact, the USSR was a democratic state of workers, as it is written in their Constitution. The fact that there was state homophobia and racism is the propaganda of the capital-controlled media (there are no others in the West).

Repressions and mass shootings in the USSR are also propaganda, especially if they write about it on Radio Liberty, which, as you know, is controlled directly from the CIA headquarters.
Therefore, you can love the USSR even if you are LGBT or non-white.

The United States is an evil empire, where all the mainstream media and both parties are controlled by military-industrial capital. All the ruling class wants is to unleash wars and overthrow the opposing regimes. Therefore, all the regimes that the United States criticizes are good, there are no exceptions.

The entire policy of the West is perceived through the prism of the war in Iraq, so any sanctions or even deep concern are preparations for an aggression or a coup by the CIA.
Any protests in "anti-American" countries are attempts at a coup by the CIA. Any information about repression is a lie

There is no difference between liberals and fascists in the United States. The Nazis are perhaps even better, because they belong to the working class (or rather, they look like stereotypical white laborers, don't look that they are wearing tactical gear for three minimum wages).

It is, of course, worth mentioning separately about the denial of the Uyghur genocide in China, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the chemical attacks of the Assad regime in Syria.
If tankis had existed during Hitler's time, they would have denied the Holocaust to the last.

In the screenshots, typical tanks Max Blumenthal, an RT frequenter and GrayZone journalist, along with Kazbek and Mate, taunts Syrian children, whom their father makes masks to protect against chemical attacks.

So, protests begin in Belarus and Russia
What does everyone see? The people are opposed to the dictators, who set garbage on them.
What do the tankis see? The CIA staged a coup against anti-American (that is, good) regimes, the corrupt media extol the fascists on the streets.

And then RT material appears, where they will explain to you that the Belarusian protesters are terribly far from the working people, and Navalny studied at Yale and called for the legalization of weapons to protect against "terrorists" (INTO), which is misinterpreted as "called for exterminating Muslims like cockroaches."
Grateful tankis happily absorb propaganda about how protesters walk with fascist flags, gouge out the eyes of FSB officers and enjoy the support of 1.5% of the population. And all this fits perfectly into their picture of the world with the evil West and the good heirs of the USSR.

...

How to resist tankis?
* please get the right and libertarians off the screens *
Despite the rhetoric, it is clear that the Putin and Lukashenka regimes are right-wing, proto-fascist and economically neoliberal. This is what it is worth telling the English-speaking audience.

Found Navalny's posts from the 2000s? Please, here's a post from Simonyan from 2020 with a translation of the favorites into English.
https://twitter.com/bellingcat/status/1...

Is Putin's regime called "anti-fascist"? Please, here is a text about the Kremlin's fight against anti-fascism.
https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/odr/th...

I know from my own experience that any sufficiently informed person from the West cannot support the Kremlin or Lukashenka.
If he supports it, then either on a salary, or incorrigible tanks (or a fascist), which it is generally better not to touch, but to ban immediately.

The rest need to be told what is actually happening in our country, so that in conditions when the credibility of the media, let's say, is not at the highest level, they learn about Russia and Belarus not from Kazbek's threads.
That's all, sorry if it turned out too messy. Death to the tyrants!

...

At night I forgot about the _complicated_ relationship of the tankis with the Sanders campaign.
Many moderates drowned Bernie as a fighter against the establishment, and then decided that the Democrats stole the victory from his grandfather and did not vote for Biden (but some became like the lesser of evils).

At the same time, some tankis considered Bernie to be the same lackey of capital, like his allies in the Democratic Party, and recalled support for the bombing of Yugoslavia in the 90s.
They also refer to other left-wing politicians, the aforementioned Samira jumped to AOC for a like from AOC to Pussy Riot's account.

A funny episode - when the tankis demanded that Bernie dismiss foreign policy adviser Matt Dass for approvingly sharing an article about how Putin's petroarchy will have hard times under Bernie, they even launched the hashtag #FireMattDuss .

Graphic detailing the budgets for various regions of Russia for 2020.
In black -- the budget for RT.
Grey -- the regions that have a budget smaller than that of RT, including the Smolensk and Astrakhan oblasts.
RT/Sputnik/RIA just got a $400 million increase in annual budgets.

(My point isn't "My god, RT is a behemoth", but instead "RT is a completely useless expenditure, and Russians should be outraged that Margo's lobbying wins out over improvements to decaying infrastructure and tiny pensions").
RT is the F-35 of the Russian budget.

Dobra ura videokonference o navalnijevi zatrupitvi in posledični novinarski preiskavi. Sodelujeta Grozev in Dobrokhotov, dva glavna akterja. Večinoma debatirajo o etičnosti kupovanja informacij na črnem trgu.

Trenutno FSB razmetava stanovanje z OCCRP povezanega raziskovalnega novinarja

https://twitter.com/OCCRP/status/138055...

The Moscow apartment of Roman Anin, editor-in-chief of OCCRP member center @istories_media, is currently being raided by the FSB.
Roman’s colleagues are currently unable to reach him.
The last thing they heard from him, before he went silent, is that the FSB search may be related to a 2016 story he published in Novaya Gazeta, his previous employer.

That story concerned Igor Sechin, a former deputy prime minister and now the head of the state-controlled oil giant Rosneft. It connected Sechin with an ultra-luxurious mega-yacht, the St. Princess Olga.
Here’s OCCRP’s English version of that story.
https://www.occrp.org/en/investigations...

It must have hit a nerve: Sechin subsequently sued Novaya Gazeta, arguing that he was not a public figure and had a right to privacy. He won the case, forcing Novaya Gazeta to add a rebuttal to the top of the page.
Roman is one of the top journalists in Russia, if not the world. He has led numerous ground-breaking investigations into organized crime and corruption in Putin’s Russia. He was a 2019 @JSKstanford fellow and won last year’s @ICFJ Trailblazer Award.

Roman’s journalism has always focused on exposing corruption that harms Russian citizens. In this 2018 story, he showed how President Putin’s bodyguards appropriated land belonging to ordinary people, including WWII veterans.
https://www.occrp.org/en/investigations...

And in this story — a finalist for @GIJN’s 2019 Global Shining Light Award — he exposed collusion between Russian law enforcement and a murderous criminal gang.
https://www.occrp.org/en/investigations...

"Powerful people don't like to be held accountable," said OCCRP Publisher Drew Sullivan.
"OCCRP is watching the situation closely."
More as it develops.

The scale of Russia's state sanctioned assassinations is horrific, we've already published about 7, and have at least 5 more to publish about still. We keep finding more and more as we keep digging, so don't expect it to stop there. This isn't just big political figures like Navalny, or former spies like Skripal, but even very minor political figure, and even non-political figures, just people who got on the wrong side of Putin.

People look at our work exposing Russian assassinations and wonder why they're so sloppy, but they've gotten away with it for years, both within Russia and abroad, so why change things up if you aren't getting exposed? Our investigations make it clear, the Russian state will murder anyone who causes it even the most smallest of problems, and they seem to think the can just get away with out without any real consequences. The sad thing is, they're probably right.

Zelimkhan Khangoshvili (Georgian: ???????? ??????????, Russian: ???????? ?????????? ??????????; 15 August 1979 - 23 August 2019) was an ethnic Chechen Georgian who was a former platoon commander for the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria during the Second Chechen War, and a Georgian military officer during the 2008 Russo-Georgian War. Later on, he allegedly turned into a useful source of information for Georgian intelligence by identifying Russian spies and jihadists operating on domestic and foreign soil through a connection with Georgian intelligence agents.[1] Khangoshvili continued to be considered a terrorist by Russian security service, the FSB and wanted in Russia.[2][3] On 23 August 2019, Khangoshvili was assassinated in a Berlin park, by an alleged Russian FSB operative.[2][4]
