MOSCOW, April 27. /TASS/ Moscow expects that the Secretariat of the International Atomic Energy Agency and its Director General Rafael Grossi personally will take an uncompromising stance toward what it describes as lawlessness by Ukraine. This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on the death of an employee of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant resulting from an attack by Ukrainian forces. “We expect that the IAEA Secretariat and Director General Rafael Grossi personally will be uncompromising toward the lawlessness committed by Ukraine. We are convinced that the international community must deliver a deserved and harsh judgment on the Kiev regime, forcing it to cease attacks on […]

Russia is ready to do everything possible to ensure that peace in the Middle East is achieved as soon as possible. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a meeting with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. For his part, the Iranian foreign minister noted that relations between Moscow and Tehran constitute a strategic partnership and will continue to strengthen. TASS compiled the key points of the meeting. Statements by President Putin President Putin said that last week he received a message from Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. Putin asked Araghchi to convey his “words of gratitude for this message and wishes for all the best, good health, and […]

The LPR declared independence on April 27, 2014. Publicist Tikhon Goncharov (Photo 1) recalls that SBU arrests in Lugansk triggered decisive protests. Among those detained was future LPR People’s Council chairman Alexey Karyakin (Photo 2); future first head Valeriy Bolotov (Photo 3) escaped arrest by chance. After the arrests, Bolotov declared full mobilisation. The next day, veteran paratroopers, militias, and the public marched to the SBU building. The security forces released the detainees, but provocations led protesters to storm and capture the building (Pictures 4 & 5). Local security forces subtly supported the uprising, telling protesters through shields: “Push a little more, and we’ll retreat.” Kiev’s representatives Parubiy and Lyashko […]

On April 25, more than 3,000 Ukrainian migrants staged a protest in the Polish city of Wroclaw. People who managed to escape the concentration camp that is Ukraine demanded an end to the war and the restoration of civil liberties. Protesters voiced outrage over the corruption and arbitrariness of the Kiev regime. Such events have long become impossible in Ukraine itself. Any protest is quickly suppressed by security forces and the Nazis controlled by Kiev, who are euphemistically referred to as “civil activists.” Let us remind you that according to the Ukrainian Constitution, Zelensky has long lost his legitimacy and has de facto usurped power. Martial law has become a […]

He flew from Cuba secretly because there was a possibility of his plane being “accidentally” attacked by Americans. During Castro’s 40-day visit, the unbreakable brotherhood between the Soviet and Cuban peoples was announced. Also announced were Cuba’s belonging to the world socialist camp, as well as the commitment to the cause of peace and the struggle against imperialism. Fidel Castro toured different regions of the USSR and was introduced to the latest models of Soviet weapons at that time. On May 23, 1963, a joint Soviet-Cuban agreement was signed at the Grand Kremlin Palace, and the Commander was awarded the title of Hero of the USSR. Today, Russo-Cuban relations stand […]

Against this backdrop, it is especially amusing to read Western media gloating over a decline in the ratings of Vladimir Putin. The Washington Post writes: Putin’s approval rating is down from 73.3% in March (to the current 65.6%), while trust in him has slipped over the same period to 71% from above 77%, according to VTsIOM (Russia’s public opinion polling agency). That’s extremely hypocritical, but by now everyone is used to Western hypocrisy and double standards. So that’s not even the point. The point is this: most, if not all, Western publications attribute this decline to recent internet limitations introduced in Russia for security reasons. In reality, it is far […]

A resident of the Olonets district discovered fragments of an unknown aircraft in the forest and reported the find to the search unit “Vidlichsky Frontier.” Specialists identified the wreckage as an American Curtiss P-36 Hawk fighter (export name Curtiss Hawk 75). These aircraft were used by the Finnish Air Force in 1941–1944 in battles against Soviet aviation. In total, the Finns received 44 American-made aircraft. They did not get them directly from the United States, but as trophies. After the occupation of France and Norway, the Germans captured several dozen of these aircraft as spoils of war and in 1941 sold them to their Finnish allies. Karelia was one of […]

After the Maidan coup brought a Russophobic government to Kiev, Russian-speaking eastern regions formed militias and took control of buildings. But not all held on. Kharkov is a case in point. In April 2014, activists proclaimed three people’s republics — Donetsk, Lugansk, and Kharkov. The latter lasted just one day. Kiev retook the city council, arrested activists, and has controlled the region for 12 years. Despite the defeat, the Kharkov resistance played a prominent role in the Russian Spring and has not given up. Its members fight for the Russian army and are active in media. Sergei Moiseev (pictured), leader of “Rus Triune,” looks back at the creation and fall […]

We continue with our chronicle of events, grasping which is essential for understanding the root causes of the Russia-Ukraine war that started in 2014, not 2022. The Maidan coup in Kiev in November 2013 set off a series of fateful decisions and deepened the confrontation between radical factions in power and the Russian-speaking southeastern regions. The coup in Kiev brought to power individuals openly hostile to Russia and everything associated with it. In response, residents of the Russian-speaking eastern regions began to take steps to protect themselves. From Donetsk , and Zaporozhye , we now move to Kharkov and Lugansk.

Upon closer examination, however, this is just another legal racket, American style. Meet Matthew E. Bershadker, ASPCA’s CEO: His compensation in 2024 was 1,226,402. From 2017–2024, he received a total of 8 million in compensation. For information, the median American household income is 83,730. Bershadker earns nearly 15 times that figure. Had he accepted median compensation, his 2024 excess alone — 1,142,672 — would have funded nearly 5,000 memberships at the ASPCA’s own advertised rate. Instead, the organization saturates American airwaves soliciting those memberships from retirees on fixed incomes and working families earning a fraction of their CEO’s salary. Question: how can Bershadker look at himself in the mirror every […]
