"Our warnings and request to cancel the visa-free regime for representatives of the European Union and the USA, or to expel undesirable persons from the country were refused by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the presidential administration and the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, citing political inexpediency," he stressed.

Zakharchenko added that on January 9, 2014, the Main Department of the Interior Ministry in Kiev, having collected the necessary materials, registered a crime under the article on "violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or seizure of state power." However, after the criminal case was transferred to the SBU, it was dropped within a week, the former head of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry said.

Aleksandr I. Kuprin, 1903

Time has become so expensive that night is soon to be turned into day, for the need for such a doubled life is already felt. A transaction that used to take months is now completed in five minutes. But even this damnable speed does not satisfy our impatience..... Soon we will see each other by wire at a distance of hundreds and thousands of kilometers!...! Meanwhile, only fifty years ago, our ancestors, going from the village to the "province", served a prayer service without hurry and set off with a supply sufficient for a polar expedition.

About Kuprin's prediction in "Moloch"

The Engineering Differences Between US and Soviet Spacesuits From the 1960s

Savage noted the engineering differences between the two. The Apollo suit was a bit complicated, requiring separate pieces of the suit to be put together before a backpack could be attached. The Krechet had a one-piece hardbody interior that could only be entered via backpack, a design that NASA is currently using in their Artemis space suits.

One MiG over Tel Aviv: How the USSR averted World War III in October 1973
The era of confrontation between the capitalist and communist worlds was called the Cold War. Its battles were played out not within the borders of the main participants - the United States and the USSR - but in countries or even regions quite distant from Moscow and Washington

I remember going to Maidan to watch in 2013, a lot of incomprehensible people with suspicious appearance freezing, around iron barrels with bonfires, continuous rallies from the arena, loud music during breaks. And on the central Christmas tree of the country a huge portrait of "martyr" #Timoshenko, sitting in prison for her machinations with the economy + a long information stand with photos of Timoshenko's life journey and how unfairly she was treated.

Q: "I have been following the situation in Ukraine since 2014, but not too closely. I have been following very closely since the end of February 2022. Because of the latter, I think I know the general trends related to the development of SMO since it started. However, what I missed was the year before SMO, i.e., since let' say early 2021 .. "
...
A: " ... Russia likely took all these build ups and provocations very seriously, and saw the writing on the wall that if it didn’t ‘cure’ the Ukrainian sickness once and for all, it would only escalate until Russia was totally surrounded by NATO aggression.

But guess what? The West only continued to escalate. In November (2021) the U.S. brought warships into the Black Sea.
It was a clear show of force and attempt to intimidate Russia. Given all the endless escalations from the Ukrainian side in Donbass, and the increasing rhetoric and ‘shows of force’ of NATO in the Black Sea and elsewhere, Russia began to see the writing on the wall and, as I said before, likely decided that the conflict had to be ended once and for all.

Of course Russia still refused to be the one to pull the trigger first, so after a force build up, they waited. It is then well known that Ukraine began massively shelling Donbass in January and February 2022, as recorded by the OSCE:

And as they say, the rest is history."

NATO was invented by NAZIS after World War II until Today there is the same Ideology which we can see as Europe is embracing the new Fascism and Nazism in Ukraine and Europe itself

Ex-Nazis who held high positions in NATO after World War II, fact checkers in the West try to deny this and say it’s fake news, but their biography just says it on their own Western invented Wikipedia. Photo: Postimage, Getty images, editing: Mirjam©Photo

For decades, former Nazis and German war criminals served in the highest ranks of NATO. Most of them were highly decorated Nazis, who later served in top positions in the West German army, and were later promoted to serve as commander and chief of all NATO forces in Europe. Many Nazis, we cannot call them ex-Nazis, because they never renounced the ideology, were also to be found in the West German government until the late 1980s.

Chalk this up as one more massive war crime by the United States and NATO. They are accessories to murder. I have summarized the timeline presented in the Funke/Kujat article if you do not have time to read it in its entirety. I also am republishing their piece for your convenience. All of the death and destruction experienced in Ukraine and Russia could have been avoided.
...
March 15-19, 2022 — Only a month after the outbreak of the war, Ukraine and Russia agreed on the broad outlines of a peace settlement. Ukraine promised not to join NATO and not to allow military bases of foreign powers on its territory, while Russia promised in return to recognize Ukraine’s territorial integrity and to withdraw all Russian occupation troops. Special arrangements were made for the Donbas and Crimea.”
...
April 5, 2022 — NATO was firm in its position that continuing the war is preferred to a cease-fire and negotiated settlement: “For some in NATO, it’s better for Ukrainians to keep fighting and dying than to achieve a peace that comes too soon or at too high a price for Kiev and the rest of Europe.”

People have always been and always will be stupid victims of deception and self-deception in politics until they learn to look for the interests of one class or another behind any moral, religious, political, social phrases, statements, and promises.

Note on the problem of the left's study of the demise of the USSR
...
Under communism, the superstructure presupposes the free and dynamic development of the basis as an organic side of social production, and the basis gives room for the development of the superstructure. In this sense, the formation "communism" is opposite not to the formation "capitalism", but to all class formations together. That is why the reasoning of various left-wing theorists about the contradictions between socialist production and social relations is deeply erroneous. It is correct to speak of the struggle of the old exploitative modes with the new communist mode.

Since in an exploitative society socio-economic processes are mostly spontaneous, production anarchy reigns, in the pair base - superstructure the leading role in the pair remains with the base, and the superstructure is a kind of reflection of the requirements of the dominant relations of the base. In communist society, however, it is the superstructure, in the form of the policies of the party and the state, that becomes the leading one, and the basis the slave. This is a very important point that the left does not understand. That is why Lenin argued that it is enough for the working class in alliance with the peasantry to take power and on the basis of the dictatorship of the proletariat it is possible to build the basis of communism. That is why the statements of certain figures widely known in leftist circles that the USSR allegedly perished because Russia was too economically backward are anti-Marxist. For them, the great Stalinist industrialization is not the construction of communism, but merely the bourgeois modernization of the economy, the elimination of industrial backwardness. They do not want to see that under Stalin not just built a lot of plants and factories, creating from scratch entire industries, but built exactly that new communist relations.

Not all doctors thought dry, old mummies made the best medicine. Some doctors believed that fresh meat and blood had a vitality the long-dead lacked.
The claim that fresh was best convinced even the noblest of nobles. England’s King Charles II took medication made from human skulls after suffering a seizure, and, until 1909, physicians commonly used human skulls to treat neurological conditions.
For the royal and social elite, eating mummies seemed a royally appropriate medicine , as doctors claimed mumia was made from pharaohs. Royalty ate royalty.

You’ve probably heard of “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” bc of her heroism on the Titanic, but there’s so much more to her story.

Margaret Brown (her real name) fought for workers’ rights, women’s rights, education & even ran for the Senate - before women could vote. She established Titanic’s Survivor's Committee & helped erect the DC memorial.

And yet, Brown wasn't allowed to participate in the congressional Titanic hearings simply bc she was a woman. #history

At the end of the war, Stetsko – who had eagerly written about the need to adopt Germany’s genocide methods to exterminate Ukraine’s Jews – decamped for America, where he spent decades running the OUN from the US while traveling in the highest circles of Washington, DC. Both Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush celebrated Stetsko as a staunch anti-communist freedom fighter. He died in 1986.

Fighting communism is part of the reason Stetsko and thousands of others were welcomed by Western governments. As World War II rapidly transitioned into the Cold War, Western intelligence agencies recognized the potential of nurturing anti-Soviet groups in order to weaken the Kremlin’s hold over Eastern Europe. As a result, those who fought against Moscow became welcome assets. Some of the most organized and zealous assets also happened to be fascists and anti-Semites whose vision of freedom – and wartime experience – involved cleansing Jews and other ethnicities from their homeland.
