a (コロボ) 🇺🇸✝️🇷🇺 @cirnosad · 1t Ukraine reportedly lost 500 KIA troops today, one of the worst days of the war.I doubt the rumour that the assassination attempt was supposed to be on Alexander Dugin instead of his daughter Darya Dugina. It was her car they stuck the bomb to. Do not doubt the level of evil the enemy is capable of.
The 2022 Russo-Ukrainian conflict is a proxy conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, the latter of which is backed by the imperialist United States.
Ukraine began with Russian military operations in 24 February 2022.[1]
In 2014, the US installed a pro-Western coup government[2] which resulted in the rise of neo-Nazism.[3][4] The most prominent neo-Nazi group in Ukraine is the Azov Battalion, which is part of the Ukrainian army. This right-wing pro-West government maintained hostilities towards ethnic Russians in the Donbass region of Ukraine.[5] These hostilities led to the separatist movements to establish the Luhansk People's Republic and the Donetsk People's Republic.
The imperialist US and EU camp is sacrificing Ukraine to 'weaken Russia' according to a former NATO advisor.[6]
Since the beginning of the conflict, at least 23,367 Ukrainian troops were killed until 16 April according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.[7] At the rate of 100-200 Ukrainian troop casualties a day declared by advisor to president Zelenskyy Mykhaylo Podolyak in June,[8] it would be about 36,700 Ukrainian military killed since the beginning of the conflict.In 1990, in a meeting between United States secretary of state James Baker and Mikhail Gorbachev, the US official guaranteed that "not an inch of NATO’s present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction."[9]
While Russia was distracted with the Sochi Olympics, the US supported the Maidan coup which overthrew recently re-elected Victor Yanukovych. In response to this coup, Crimeans voted overwhelmingly in favor of seceding from Ukraine and joining into the Russian Federation.[10]
Additionally, Donetsk and Luhansk seceded too. These breakaway republics had been locked in war with the Ukrainian army, which included outright Nazi regiments like the Azov battalion.
Russell Bentley predicted that US president Joe Biden was seeking to reignite a dirty war in Ukraine with his support for the Nazi fanatics.[11]
Crisis
Tensions rose sharply in 2021 when the Brussels summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) reiterated that Ukraine would become aligned with NATO,[12] sparking outrage from Russian officials who considered the expansion of NATO a threat of their national security.[13] Russia began to build up troops closer to their borders, demanding that NATO stop its expansion towards Russia.[14]
The bourgeois media of the United States has been hypocritically feigning support for the citizens of Ukraine while completely disregarding the humanity of those who suffer under their own heinous wars.[15][16]
Former UN inspector Scott Ritter has said that NATO is too weak to face Russia.[17]
Germany violated its recent pattern of neutrality by sending weapons to Ukraine.[18]
During diplomatic talks, Ukraine and Russia have agreed upon humanitarian corridors to allow displaced persons to flee war zones safely.[19]
Al Qaeda, Hyatt Tahrir al-Sham, and other islamist jihadist groups are joining alongside Ukrainian neo-Nazis to fight against the Russians, eerily similar to their original task in Operation Cyclone.[20][21]
On March 7, Mikhail and Aleksander Kononovich, members of the Komsomol of Ukraine, were arrested by Ukrainian authorities and imprisoned in Kiev.[22]
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Ukraine has lost 23 thousand soldiers during the conflict,[23] however, the Ukrainian Government claims merely 10 thousand of its solders have been lost during the conflict.[24]
Reactions
All major imperialist countries, such as United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and most European Union countries sanctioned since Russia began their military operations on February 24,[25] and as a result, it became the most sanctioned economy in the world.[26] In March 7th, twenty Russian capitalists were also sanctioned by Japan.[27] The Russian government compiled a list of countries who have taken hostile actions against the country.[28]
The Communist Party of the Russian Federation has expressed support for Putin's aims to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine, while also calling for the strengthening of local self-government.[29]
The Party for Socialism and Liberation in the United States has made a statement describing how the intervention was the result of NATO provocations against Russia.[30]
The Communist Party of Cuba released a statement calling for a solution that guarantees security and sovereignty for all, describing NATO's progressive expansion as a military siege.[31]
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea backed Russia's actions in Ukraine and claimed that US provocations and military aggression are entirely to blame for the present situation.[32]
The Communist Party of Britain, while opposing NATO expansion, called Russia's military offensive unjustified and demanded a withdrawal of troops. It also pointed out that the unilateral Russian recognition of the DPR and LPR undermines the founding principles of the UN and gives imperialist powers an excuse to abuse such methods against other nations.[33][34] It supported the Stop the War Coalition's call for the withdrawal of Russian troops.[35]
The Socialist Labour Party said the conflict can be resolved quickly, but only with a neutral Ukraine. It criticized the Communist Party of Britain's Morning Star in its recent coverage of Ukraine.[36]
The Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist), on the basis that NATO has been conducting a three decade long slow-motion war against Russia, welcomed Russia's military challenge to NATO. It called denazification the surest way to peace.[37] The party criticized Stop the War's platforming of activists calling for imperialist escalation, as well as its call for a Russian withdrawal.[38] It welcomes Russia's recognition of the DPR and LPR.[37]https://twitter.com/CrazyCatComrade/following
Information warfare
Censorship
In response to the crisis, Western governments and corporations have been actively censoring voices that promote alternative narratives, notably those emerging from Russia or Russia-aligned states. Reddit has banned links to Russian media.[39]
US-based video site YouTube is censoring anti-Ukraine war coverage.[40]
In an effort to help netizens circumvent Western propaganda about the situation, ProleWiki has collected information about alternative social media sites.
Propaganda
The US government has been briefing TikTok influencers to promote the NATO/US narrative.[41][42]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA AKHMATOVA! LONG LIFE TO THE RUSSIAN POETESS OF KIEV, ODESSA, ST. PETERSBURG, MOSCOW!
This post was originally published on this site
By John Helmer, Moscow
@bears_with
Anna Akhmatova, the most famous poetess in the Russian language, will be 133 on June 23.
Akhmatova was the nom de plume she chose because her father said his family name would be disgraced by her publishing her poems. The family name was Gorenko, and she was born in Bolshoi Fontan, Odessa. A bust memorializes the place to this day; the rule of the city by anti-Russian forces since 2014 has not damaged it. The street leading to the memorial used to be called Ukrainskaya; it was renamed Anna Akhmatova, and still is.
After her father — a naval engineer from a decorated navy family — left the family, she lived with her mother, her brother and sister in Evpatoria, in the Crimea. They spent their summer holidays south along the peninsula, around Khersones; and northeast further inland, at the village of Slobidka Shelekhivska in Khmelnytsky oblast, near today’s Moldova border. The house has been turned into the Anna Akhamatova Literary Memorial Museum. No one answers the telephone there these days, but it is otherwise undisturbed.
Between 1905 and 1910 she lived in Kiev and attended Fundukleyevskaya Gymnasium, then the Kiev College for Women. There is a plaque in Old Russian on the wall at Number 7, Zankovetskaya Street, Kiev, to memorialize the time and place. The war has not touched it.
Akhmatova’s maternal ancestors were celebrated in the Crimea and all of the Ukraine. Her mother, Inna Stogova, came from Kiev where her grandfather, Erazm Stogov, made a fortune growing sugar beet and refining it into sugar. Four hundred years earlier, their progenitor was Khan Akhmatov. He was assassinated in 1481 after losing a military campaign against Tsar Ivan III; his death marked the final Russian emancipation from the Tatar Horde. Anna preferred to be known after the khan, not after the sugar magnate.
Top: the apartment building at Number 7, Zankovetskaya Street, Kiev, where the plaque says: “In this house in 1906 lived the Russian poetess Anna Akhmatova”. Bottom: the drive, garden, and entrance of the summer dacha where Akhmatova lived as a child with her family at Slobidka Shelekhivska; it is now the Akhmatova museum.
For the 77 years of her life, Akhmatova refused every proposal from sponsors or requests from her friends and lovers to leave Russia and go into exile. “I am not one of those,” she wrote in the first line of a poem of July 1922, near the end of the civil war, “who left the land/to the mercy of its enemies/Their flattery leaves me cold./My songs are not for them to praise./But I pity the exile’s lot.”
Although evacuated with other writers and artists from Leningrad to Tashkent during World War II, and then remaining in and around St Petersburg and Moscow until her death, she had returned regularly to visit her mother in Crimea and Kiev until 1925, when the mother moved to Sakhalin to be with her son, Akhmatova’s brother. She wrote from her memories of the Ukrainian countryside and seashore, and also about her women friends and her lovers, Nikolai Nedobrovo and Vladimir Shileiko, who were from the Ukraine. She never distinguished them from Russia or Russians.
In the poem she titled “Kiev”, written in 1914, she tied the city and herself to the ancient Rus and to the Orthodox Church. “The ancient city seems deserted/My arrival is stranger./Over the river, Vladimir/Raised a black cross…My sacrificial and glorious journey/I will finish here,/And with me only you, my equal/And my lover.” That lover was Nedobrovo.
A PhD dissertation written two years ago at the University of Virginia from a Ukrainian perspective noted that “a mere 3% of her geographical references are to Ukraine. The majority of Akhmatova’s Ukraine poetry is centered in the city of Kyiv, with a couple of verses venturing beyond the city’s border to honour personal friends. Akhmatova wrote about personal experiences she had in Kyiv, while also acknowledging the city’s religious and cultural import, but when she was not physically visiting Ukraine, she remained essentially silent on the topic of Ukraine… She does not consider herself to be Ukrainian…by referring to her birthplace as merely a place near the sea, she avoids using the term ‘Ukraine’ at all. This reveals that in her mind, Ukraine is not necessarily distinct or separate from the rest of the Russian Empire… She does not engage in a discussion of national or ethnic identity, but simply views Ukraine as another region of her homeland. She indeed even labels these regions—Odessa and Leningrad—as part of the same country (в этой стране). In Akhmatova’s understanding, Ukraine is not a separate nation, but is part of her own home ‘country’ of the Russian Empire/Soviet Union.”
In a poem of 1961, five years before she died, she wrote that her homeland was “Yes, for us it’s the mud on galoshes, / Yes, for us it’s the grit on our teeth. / And we grind, and we knead, and we crumble, / This clean dust. / But we lie in her and we become her, / And because of that we freely call her—ours.”
The US Akhmatova regarded critically, making the irregular rhyme between Америка (“America”) and истерики “(hysterics”); she was implying that this is what the Russians she knew who had chosen their exile in New York had become.
When Akhmatova died in 1966, Masha Gessen had not been born (1967) nor her brother Konstanin (Keith b. 1975). Since they took over the New Yorker after 2014, Akhmatova was quoted in 2018 by Masha Gessen to turn the present Russian regime into Hitler’s Germany. “The single most searing literary document of Stalinist terror is ‘Requiem,’ a cycle of poems written by Anna Akhmatova while her son, Lev Gumilev, was in prison. But, in the official Soviet imagination, it was the Nazis who tortured adults by torturing children” -- The same year Keith Gessen published his own return from New York to Moscow in A Terrible Country, he omitted Akhmatova altogether.
For Akhmatova, in the entire world she knew there remained only “my old friend, my true North, / Comforted me as well as it could.” For an exceptional attempt to make a political geography of Akhmatova’s poetry, read this.

The staff at the Akhmatova museum in St Petersburg say that because of the war all their contact has now been cut off with the Akhmatova museums in the Ukraine. Until now, sources in Kiev and Odessa confirm, the attacks on Soviet monuments have not struck at Akhmatova’s memorials. Poverty has taken its toll, though. The first bas-relief of Akhmatova at Bolshoi Fontan in Odessa was made of bronze. But because this attracted scrap thieves, the city decided to remake the sculpture in stone, and that is how it can be viewed today.

Akhmatova and Amedeo Modigliani were lovers in Paris between 1910 and 1911, but after she returned to Russia they never saw each other again. The reclining study he drew of her (lead image) was one of her most treasured possessions; she kept it with her always and made it one of the few explicit provisions of her will. She requested it to be the dust jacket illustration for the collection of her poetry published in Moscow in 1963 and entitled The Flight of Time (Бег времени). There were many other drawings of her by Modigliani which did not survive in Russia or in France – that was until several were published in Venice in 1993; the two above were among them. Modigliani died on January 24, 1920; Akhmatova died on March 5, 1966.
Akhmatova shall have the last word; here she is reciting her poem of 1940, “Cleopatra”; and here are the texts in Russian and in translation.

people who give you valuee Καλημέρα σε όλα τα καλά παιδιά και τα κορίτσια urasianist ☦️ @Russ_Warrior · 13min Russian strategic victory, as it stands, is military, economic and may even coalesce geopolitically. Centuries after the Byzantine Strategikon, the Global South would be very much interested in getting acquainted with the 21st century Russian Art of War.
peopleΚαλημέρα χαρούμενη εβδομάδα με υγεία κ χαμόγελα 🌷🌿🌞The Israeli occupation forces are attacking another Palestinian funeral in Jerusalem now. The funeral of a 23 year old Palestinian boy the Zionists killed. They followed the mourners to the cemetery and showered them with stun grenades. Israel will say the coffin started it.

Russia is freeing the world from Anglo-American domination - freeing us from London and Wall St. Her courage, and strength, is unparalleled. And, in many ways, comes down to one man: Putin... the real leader of the free world.kyllä merkitystä ,kiellä itsenäisyydellä valtiolla, vaikk niin sanotkin

biological war fare, somebodi d Airplanes @blob_watcher · 21. helmik. What is the reason for further Russian waiting and delaying with respect to actually invading Ukraine? Does the Kremlin believe that it actually needs more "pretexts" at this point? Does the Kremlin believe that anyone outside of Russia would believe these "pretexts"?

• Had solid intelligence that this war was coming

• Chose not to do thatSome EU countries will also very likely see popular unrest if (or rather when) the economic situation worsens further. Might lead to end of EU and a volatile situation where some countries may leave the US orbit.

Freeman: The weather was clear. The skies were blue. There was no pollution in Beijing then. I loved hearing people in speaking with their distinctive Beijing accent. And I thought the Chinese side of the talks was very well prepared, very professional. I was impressed. One cannot help but be struck by Beijing as the capital of a country that has many years of history
