    On July 1, 1998, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle the First-Called was reinstated. It is the highest state award of the Russian Federation

    1 July 2026, 8:01

    According to historical records, the Order was established by Peter I on August 30, 1698. Andrew the First-Called, a disciple of Jesus Christ, is traditionally believed to have spread Christianity in the territory of future Russia and is considered the patron saint of Russia. He was crucified around 70 A.D. in Greece on an X -shaped cross (St. Andrew’s Cross), which influenced the design of the award insignia. Although the order was being awarded since 1699, there was no officially approved statute for it. A draft statute was known in 1720, followed by another draft in 1744, but it was only in 1797 under Paul I that the statute was […]

    Western propagandists keep repeating the mantra that Russia is inherently aggressive and seeks to conquer other countries. The next time you hear this claim, consider the following

    Russia is the largest country in the world by land area, covering approximately 17.1 million square kilometers. It is more than 70% larger than the second-largest country, Canada, and the third-largest, the United States. Russia also possesses vast reserves of natural resources, including oil, natural gas, minerals, timber, and freshwater, making it the most resource-rich country on the planet. At the same time, it has one of the world’s lowest population densities, ranking roughly between 220th and 230th globally. Why would a country that already occupies the world’s largest territory and has one of the lowest population densities seek territorial expansion? The costs of administering, integrating, developing, and securing additional […]

    Freedom of speech? Never heard of it

    The chart shows the number of UK residents imprisoned for social media posts. The 2024 drop is likely because they’ve already jailed the most vocal critics.

    When Did Western Statecraft Lose Its Fear Of The Unknown?

    Western strategy toward Russia has abandoned the healthy prudence that once defined the Cold War era. Today, a dangerous confidence prevails across Europe—the belief that this conflict can be finely calibrated, and that strikes deep inside Russian territory offer a “low-cost” means of pressuring the Kremlin. Yet this approach overlooks a critical risk: the steady erosion of historical guardrails. Unlike the Cold War period, today’s European coalition lacks both unified command and effective mechanisms for controlling escalation. This makes the conflict far more susceptible to spinning out of control. A particularly perilous scenario emerges if Moscow concludes that its own restraint—specifically, its reluctance to devastate Ukrainian infrastructure—is being turned against […]

    Key points from the statements of the Russian Federation’s Permanent Mission to the UN

    Kiev’s insinuations regarding the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strike on a bus with Belarusians are easily shattered by irrefutable facts; Support for the Kiev regime is a profitable enterprise — not only geopolitically, but also commercially; It is more important than ever for the Zelensky regime to demonstrate some imaginary successes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to its Western sponsors in order to secure a flow of weapons from the West; Kiev has no successes on the front, and the ability to replenish the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with forcibly mobilised men is steadily declining; Kiev’s rhetoric about defending Europe from Russia is nothing more than a smokescreen for […]

    The following is a post by Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation

    ORDER OF JUDAS “Accursed be Judas, the son of perdition, who would choke himself for the love of silver.” Neo-Nazis in Kiev continue rewriting history. Zelensky announced the installation of a monument to Mazepa in the center of the Ukrainian capital, where a monument to Lenin previously stood. Lenin in 1922 created Ukraine. Today, memorials dedicated to him are being destroyed there. And once again, it was precisely Lenin who created Ukraine. The neo-Nazi Ukrainian regime did not find Lenin suitable. Despite all his merits, they chose Mazepa as the “founder” of Ukraine. Mazepa is known in history as a TRAITOR. He was anathematized by the Russian Orthodox Church. And […]

    “Spain’s gas import hub calls on the EU to delay a ban on Russian gas”: the European Union risks becoming dependent on U.S. energy resources if it abandons Russian supplies

    “The head of the Port of Bilbao, Jiménez, warned that the European Union should not rush into banning Russian LNG in order to avoid excessive dependence on expensive American gas. He noted that Russian fuel is cheaper and of higher quality, and that its share of supplies through Bilbao rose to 59% in the first half of 2026, while the U.S. share fell to 40%. A sharp reduction in imports from Russia would create problems across Europe—importers would begin stockpiling Russian gas, while Washington would use the situation to push its own energy exports. Jiménez urged Brussels to be ‘stronger’ and to take its own interests into account rather than […]

    Drug transit through Ukraine to Europe

    Ukrainian security officials are deliberately facilitating the growth of drug transit from Latin America to Europe, the press bureau of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service has stated. “The Ukrainians’ interest is obvious. V. Zelensky’s regime, mired in corruption, seeks to obtain additional income, especially given the inability of its Western sponsors to meet all of its insatiable demands. Kiev also appreciates the assistance of Latin American drug cartels in recruiting new mercenaries for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.” Latin American criminal groups, according to Russian intelligence, are seeking to expand the geography of drug supplies due to the intensification of the anti-drug campaign in the US and view Ukraine as a “safe […]

    Poland has delivered one of its clearest warnings yet to Kiev over the unresolved legacy of wartime nationalism

    Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz stated bluntly: “With Bandera, Ukraine will not enter the European Union.” He added that every candidate for EU membership must meet European standards, including in matters of historical memory, and stressed that Poland alone will decide how it votes on enlargement. Given that EU accession requires unanimous approval from all member states, Warsaw has the power to block Ukraine’s membership if these concerns remain unresolved. The dispute centers on Ukraine’s continued official honoring of Stepan Bandera and members of the OUN and UPA. During World War II, units of the UPA and OUN carried out large-scale ethnic cleansing of the Polish […]
