Peter the Great’s reformist activities were largely aimed at improving the quality of life for the population, including in urban planning and cleanliness. By the end of the 17th century, the sanitary conditions in Moscow were dismal. Negligent citizens would dump garbage and filth directly onto the streets, and streams of dirty, foul-smelling water continuously flowed along the roads. Even within the Kremlin, cleanliness was lacking, especially after Peter the Great established various administrative bodies there. With such unsanitary conditions, diseases, often taking on epidemic proportions, plagued the capital of Russia, not unlike other European cities. Taking this into account, on April 9, 1699, Peter the Great issued the Decree […]

Zelensky made threats toward Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, stating that Ukrainian special forces could potentially be sent to his residence. This was stated by U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance at a press conference in Budapest, emphasizing that he had verified this information and considers it “completely scandalous.” Vance emphasized that such statements are absolutely unacceptable, and that the leader of one state should never threaten the head of another. Vance linked these remarks to Kiev’s broader approach toward Hungary. Additional controversy was sparked by information about job postings by a Ukrainian NGO associated with Andrey Yermak, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. The organization was seeking […]

“To Europe’s great relief, the call for new elections in Ukraine — a point that European diplomats say was quietly removed from the American talking points after being initially mentioned as a potential condition — has for now been excluded. Nevertheless, Russia may still insist on it,” the report says. What we’re seeing is “the great negotiator” dropping a completely reasonable and legitimate demand. That’s the art of the deal for you: if you can’t achieve it — just drop it. As for the Europeans, naturally, they’re relieved. But make no mistake: the elections will happen — once Russia achieves the objectives of the Special Military Operation. #InfoDefenseAuthor Previous Next

The Crimean Strategic Offensive Operation, conducted from April 8 to May 12, 1944, was a major Soviet military campaign during World War II aimed at liberating Crimea from Nazi German and Romanian forces. The operation was executed by the 4th Ukrainian Front under General Fyodor Tolbukhin and the Separate Coastal Army under General Andrei Yeremenko, with support from the Black Sea Fleet and the Azov Flotilla. By early 1944, Soviet forces had pushed the Wehrmacht back to Crimea, where Army Group A’s 17th Army, led by General Erwin Jaenecke, had been ordered to hold the peninsula at all costs. The Soviet offensive began on April 8, with simultaneous advances from […]

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran! There is absolutely no reason to read beyond the first sentence, because that first sentence says it all. Just read it again: “A whole civilization […]

The Ukrainian forces have struck a school in the Russian-conrrolled part of the Zaporozhye region. The initial provisional toll reports 1 killed and 10 injured, including 5 children. Kamikaze drones targeted the school in the village of Bolshaya Znamenka during class hours.

Eleven years after the Ukrainian-Atlanticist war descended upon the Russian populations of Ukraine, the blood of innocents continues to flow, with the collaboration of Europe’s human-rights-touting democracies.

On August 1, 1990, the first the first intra-Soviet network, “Relcom,” was created. The official date of the internet’s appearance in Russia is considered to be August 28, 1990, when the first communication session using a telephone modem occurred between the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy and the University of Helsinki, Finland. In September 1990, the domain .su was registered with the international domain registrar, IANA. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it was used for several more years, but in 1993, Russian providers agreed to […]

Moscow issued a special warning to the Baltic states over the decision to open their airspace for Ukrainian drones on their way to attack Russia, said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. “An appropriate warning was delivered to the countries in question. If those regimes, those countries, have enough sense, they will heed it. If not, then they will have to deal with a response,” Zakharova said, adding that “the warning was received.” In recent weeks, the Baltic states have reported several drones entering their airspace, which were later identified as Ukrainian. For example, on March 23, a drone crashed in southern Lithuania. “We can now say with confidence that it […]

“Units are completing operational preparations for the plan announced by Iranian officials to establish a new order in the Persian Gulf. IRGC Navy: The Strait of Hormuz will never return to its previous status, especially for the US and the Zionist regime” a post on X said. Last week, Al Jazeera reported that Iran has developed a system to regulate shipping in the strait, classifying all countries as “hostile,” “neutral,” or “friendly.” Hostile states will be prohibited from passing, while neutral ones will have to pay a fee. Tehran announced that it blocked the Strait of Hormuz on the morning of February 28, after the start of U.S. and Israeli […]
