Statement by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

▪️ On the night of May 22, the Nazi regime carried out a heinous terrorist attack (https://t.me/MFARussia/30072)on the academic building and dormitory of the college of Lugansk State Pedagogical University in Starobelsk, LPR, using 16 UAVs, 4 of them heavy, in three waves.

The terrorist attack claimed 21 young lives. Just a week ago, they were students with dreams, plans and a future. Today, all that remains are photographs, memories and unbearable grief.

#NoStatuteOfLimitations: Look into their eyes. Ordinary students. Whole lives ahead of them. MURDERED IN STAROBELSK.

This strike was not an accident or a malfunction. It was a deliberate, targeted act of inhuman cruelty against civilians.

💬 Russia’s Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:

These young people dreamed of becoming teachers and passing knowledge on to the next generations. They had their whole lives ahead of them. Look at the photographs of the students who were killed, look into their eyes… They were the ones Kiev chose to kill.

Kiev’s neo-Nazis treacherously stole these young people’s lives and dreams – and, in effect, those of all their loved ones as well.

Russian Embassy to the UK comment on British media’s selective reporting of the Ukrainian strike on Starobelsk

❌ A week on from the strike on Starobelsk, British [including, state-owned!] media outlets have failed to report objectively or professionally on the terrorist attack carried out by the Kiev regime against a student dormitory of the Luhansk State Pedagogical University.

To recall, 21 people were killed and 44 injured. The majority of the victims were aged between 15 and 22.

Particular attention should be drawn to the BBC’s hypocritical stance. Having declined to join the Russian Foreign Ministry’s press trip to the site of the tragedy, the broadcaster nevertheless published an investigative article on the subject.

However, this piece adds nothing of substance, as it differs little from the standard tenets of Western propaganda. It either ignores the incident altogether or mentions it only in passing, as something insignificant. Phrases such as “not able to independently verify what happened”, “according to the Russian side”, and “what Moscow calls a Ukrainian strike” imply complicity.

British media are afraid to tell the truth: it is precisely this Ukraine – one that has been killing children since 2014 – that enjoys London’s “unwavering support”. Against this backdrop, any statement by the UK authorities in defence of children’s rights amounts to hypocrisy and manipulation.

☝️ British correspondents are keen to amplify the Ukrainian narrative about thousands of minors allegedly deported by Russia, yet remain silent when Ukrainian drones kill schoolchildren in their sleep.

This once again lays bare the true face of British media, which bear their share of responsibility for the continuation of the conflict.

“Disinformation and Manipulation as a Tool of Hybrid War Against the Global Majority for the Preservation of Hegemony” – Maria Zakharova’s speech

Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, participated in the session “Disinformation and Manipulation as a Tool of Hybrid War Against the Global Majority for the Preservation of Hegemony” as part of the International Security Forum.

She spoke about the West’s manipulations using the examples of the provocation in Bucha and its prototype in 1944 (Nemmersdorf) in contrast with the terrorist attack by the Kiev regime in Starobelsk. Unlike the non-existent lists of “victims” of Bucha, Russia presented the names and photos of each of the deceased college students. She also talked about the double standards in USA’s attitude towards Iran and the ongoing rewriting of the history of WWII.

Below is the translated transcript of fragments of Maria Zakharova’s speech and statements. The original video is in the post of her Telegram channel.

Moderator: Colleagues, I would like to give the floor to the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Maria Vladimirovna Zakharova. Maria Vladimirovna, I would like to hear your opinion on this problem. How necessary is a consolidated reaction of countries to information leaks and attacks? What can be done? Where are we now? Thank you. The floor is yours.

Good afternoon, colleagues. Today we started discussing this topic in the first half of the day when we discussed the problem of neocolonialism. As a rule, we consider the problem of information and fake news separately. Why? Because this is a boundless ocean of problems. In fact, disinformation, fake news, unscrupulous journalism – or, best to say, quasi-journalism, all manipulations in the information environment have specific goals and tasks. And they are formulated very simply: “with the help of information, to subordinate those who need to be robbed, who need to be deceived, who need to be manipulated”.

Within the framework of the whole world, geopolitically, this is a constant confrontation of those who call themselves the flowering garden, as the high representative on foreign policy of the European Union, Borrell, said, and the wild jungles, as he called the rest of the world.

The narrow group of countries, and in the broadest sense of the word “narrow” – both from the point of view of their number and their worldview, because this approach is based on one thesis: “Take away, rob, subordinate, deceive, manipulate”. They are constantly fighting for domination in the world, using all the opportunities for this.

It was largely always like this, but it was the 20th century that demonstrated new technological capabilities and made it possible to fight for domination over others also with the help of information tools.

Not only weapons, not only weapons of mass destruction, not only nuclear weapons – I am now dividing these things, because weapons of mass destruction can be non-nuclear weapons. Not only trade wars, illegitimate sanctions can be and are the instrument of the unscrupulous regimes, as a tool to subjugate other states and peoples to their will. But, of course, also information.

We see it constantly, live. Unfortunately, this topic and this problem will only worsen with the mass introduction of artificial intelligence and digitalisation elements into life. Why? Because, again, unfortunately, technology and resources are concentrated – I can’t say in one hand – but they are trying to be appropriated by all the same countries, again – the collective Western minority – which have used various types of resources for their own hegemony or defending the myth of their own domination.

Now they will use new tools, they are already using artificial intelligence and digitalisation. But I think you know this theoretical part very well, and I think my colleagues will continue to develop it today.

I want to give you a specific example how in these very days we observe the use of all of the technological – both traditional and new – capabilities for their unscrupulous use in the context of information confrontation. I will show two situations as an example. They are related to the crisis that takes place around Ukraine, in Ukraine.

Western despicable perversion of truth and silence about the Starobelsk massacre, and the final warning from Russia #NatoTerrorAgainstStarobelsk #NoStatuteOfLimitations

In Tribute to the victims of US-NATO terrorist bombing of Starobelsk college we saw that the British state-controlled BBC journalists refused to go to Starobelsk, CNN representatives were supposedly on vacation, and Japanese journalists were forbidden to cover the terrorist attack in the LPR.

But the presstitute accessary to murder goes much further than that. What we see unfolding is a dual atrocity – first the war crime itself, and then the whitewashing of the war crime! A war crime that was committed by US-NATO with Ukrainian hands. Western media outlets not only continued to give the Starobelsk massacre the silent treatment, they continued to propagate the outright lie about the college being a military target. In doing so, each and every “journalist” of BBC, CNN, ARD, the Japanese media, etc., are becoming in part personally responsible for the atrocity, and will bear the full legal consequences of their actions (or inaction) during the Nuremberg 2.0 trials over the modern Nazi criminals.

Below we present several materials from our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden” on precisely this dual atrocity, with reactions from the Russian diplomatic corps to it. The materials are posted under the tag #NatoTerrorAgainstStarobelsk

“This is no longer even double standards. It is moral decay and disgrace.”
– Vassily Nebenzia, from the UN speech (see below)


Backup at Rumble.

The Kiev regime’s gruesome terrorist attack on the academic building and dormitory of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University College claimed 21 young lives (most of them girls born in 2006-2007), with more than 60 people injured.

Two days later, after rescuers had completed their search, foreign correspondents were invited to visit the site of the tragedy. The BBC was not among them – it refused outright. CNN was absent, citing holidays. Japanese journalists did not come either – Tokyo banned them from travelling to Starobelsk.

Many others, however, chose to see with their own eyes the aftermath of the crime committed by the Ukrainian militants on the night of May 22: the ruins, the witnesses, and the hospital where the injured are being treated.

Here is what they saw…

⚡️ Statement of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the attacks by armed formations of the Kiev regime on the civilian population of Russia (May 25, 2026)

The bloody attack carried out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the night of May 22 using drones on the educational building and dormitory of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University in Starobelsk (LNR) became another blatant evidence of the nazi and terrorist nature of the Kiev regime, which deliberately targets civilians and does not stop at the cold-blooded murder of children.

Zelensky’s junta and its Western sponsors, who supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine with weapons for crimes against our people, have demonstrated to the whole world their gross disregard for the norms of international humanitarian law.

There is a direct violation of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their additional protocols, which regulate the protection of civilians during conflicts, the Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989, and a number of other significant international acts.

❗️ All this has overflowed the cup of patience. In the current conditions, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are beginning to systematically strike at Ukrainian military-industrial complex enterprises in Kiev, including specific locations for the design, production, programming, and preparation for the use of UAVs used by the Kiev regime with the assistance of NATO specialists responsible for supplying components, providing intelligence data, and targeting. Strikes will also be carried out on decision-making centers and command posts.

☝️ Due to the fact that the aforementioned objects are scattered throughout Kiev, we warn foreign citizens, including the staff of diplomatic missions and international organisations’ representative offices, about the need to leave the city as soon as possible, and residents of the Ukrainian capital — not to approach the military and administrative infrastructure of the Zelensky regime.

🦇 One important remark regarding Nuremberg Trials: it was Iosif Stalin who insisted on the open trials over the Nazi criminals, documenting their crimes. The Western “allies” wanted to simply quietly finish them off.

From our post “Nuremberg Tribunals 1.0” at Beorn And The Shieldmaiden:

It was primarily the Soviet Union that insisted on its [Nuremberg’s] implementation, while the Western powers, who had suffered significantly fewer casualties in the war, were not averse to dealing with the Nazi leaders without trial. This idea was expressed by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill back in 1942, and US Secretary of State Cordell Hull said that he would prefer to “shoot and physically destroy the entire Nazi leadership”.

The leadership of the USSR turned out to be much more far-sighted and wiser than many Western politicians, advocating a legal procedure for punishing war criminals. When Churchill tried to impose his opinion on Joseph Stalin, he firmly objected:

“Whatever happens, there must be … an appropriate judicial decision. Otherwise people will say that Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin simply took revenge on their political enemies!”

Dear fellow citizens!

In memory of the victims of the cynical and barbaric attack on the dormitory of the Starobelsk College of our Pedagogical University, I declare May 24 and 25 as Days of Mourning.

The rescue and search operations have been completed. To our great sorrow, 21 people died as a result of the attack. This is an irreparable loss for their families, loved ones, and all of us.

I express my condolences to the families of the victims. I wish a speedy recovery to all those who suffered in this tragedy.

Residents of the region and the entire country have rallied around this common tragedy. Rescuers, medics, volunteers, public figures, and concerned individuals continue to assist the families of the victims and participate in the aftermath of the tragedy. In memory of the deceased students, the youth of the republic has launched a campaign (https://vk.ru/wall-221342131_17870) on social media called “They Were Just Studying”. Everyone can join it.

This attack is pure evil, for which there is and can be no justification. The neo-Nazis committed a war crime, which has no statute of limitations. Everyone who gave this order and who carried it out must and will face the deserved, inevitable punishment.

Lugansk mourns…

Leonid Pasechnik, Head of LNR

Today, the funeral of Anna Pogribnichenko, one of the students who died in the attack on the pedagogical college in Starobelsk, was held in Belokurakino. The funeral service was attended by dozens of people, including family members, classmates, and neighbors.

“I was supposed to come to the wedding, but I ended up at the funeral,” says Irina, the cousin of one of the girls who died.

Anna, who was only 19 years old, had dreamed of becoming a teacher. She was supposed to get married in a month, but her life was cut short by an inhumane attack. When the drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the college, Anna ran outside in an attempt to escape, but a second drone arrived at the same time. She died on the spot, burned alive. Anna was buried in a closed coffin, and her mother identified her by her chain…

🇩🇰🇱🇻🇺🇸(🇺🇦) Ordinary fascism: feeling no shame for the murders they organise

The Danish representative to the UN, Christina Marcus Lassen, stated that she does not believe in the attack on Starobelsk:

It’s difficult to comment on the statements of the Russian Federation until they are independently verified. Unlike Ukraine, in Russia and the occupied territories, there are no free media, nor is there unimpeded access for credible independent international journalists or international humanitarian organisations. Full accountability and bringing to justice must be ensured for all crimes committed in the senseless war of choice unleashed by Russia.

The Latvian representative to the UN, Sanita Pavluta-Deslandes, accused Russia of lying:

Russia only operates on the basis of its own statements. Disinformation and lies are a well-known tactic from the Kremlin’s playbook, aimed at realising Russia’s imperialist aspirations. Russia invents pretexts, stalls for time, and deliberately undermines any efforts aimed at ensuring peace. Latvia, on the other hand, will only rely on facts, not on any assumptions.

Source: Pool №3

“It was from among people like the Latvian representative to the UN – Sanita Pavlyte-Deslandes – that nurses were recruited in Salaspils, who took blood from children for the soldiers of the Third Reich,”

Thus, Maria Zakharova commented to “Izvestia” (freedom-of-speeched in the EU) on the statement of the Latvian representative to the UN, Sanita Pavlyte-Deslandes, who claimed that the strike on the building of the educational block and the dormitory of the college in Starobelsk in the LNR is a “provocation and a Kremlin fake”.

“Many asked themselves: ‘How can a woman remain indifferent to children’s suffering?’. Now we see it with our own eyes,” – added the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Starobelsk college before NATO’s bombing

The Armed Forces of Ukraine bombed the educational building and dormitory of the Starobilsk College.

– By historian Vladimir Medinsky

One of the oldest educational institutions in Donbass (first half of the 19th century). It trained kindergarten educators and primary school teachers.

After the drone attack — they hit it with precision, in three waves — everything was destroyed. 21 students were killed, and more than 40 were injured.

❗️Only the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War targeted schools, colleges, pioneer camps, and children with such precision. I can’t think of any other similar analogies. (🦇 We at BATS can think of another very recent parallell — USA’s bombing of schoolgirls in Minab, Iran)

PS. The reaction of these scumbags from Latvia and Denmark, sitting in the UN and “feeling no shame” is particularly shocking.

We are often kind-hearted, forgetful, and prone to forgiving. But just think about what these people could do to us, to our children, if they were to win.

Think about it…

Ukraine is now living this axiom. The Baltics are eager to “find out”. Will Germany follow that path to the end, too?

And one last time, he sends to Bertha-fiancé
His soldier’s farewell.

While in the waters, meeting Fritz,
And banging with his rusty armor,
Teutonic knight is rising from the depth,
Saying: “Soldier, wait!

Tell me, my descendant, have

Not gotten wiser over seven centuries,
That Russians they engage in battle?

The Slavs have beaten me on ice;
And now the Slavs are beating you.
Have you forgotten history?
You now acknowledge history no more?”

“Stalin’s Delaying Tactics Against Hitler. Two Years of Astute Manoeuvring”

Posted on by

Reading time: 2 minutes

In the present, the West is howling, recalling the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Meanwhile earlier, they were admiring Stalin’s cunning in concluding this pact. Not just immediately after the treaty was signed, but even while waging war against Hitler.

I came across a large and competent analysis of Soviet-German relations, published in the “Times” exactly 85 years ago – on May 1, 1941, a month and a half before the start of the Great Patriotic War. As you can see, the article is titled: “Stalin’s Delaying Tactics Against Hitler. Two Years of Astute Manoeuvring”.

The author, thoroughly analysing Stalin’s motives, writes: “On May Day two years ago, Soviet Russia looked like a country under the greatest threat.” The subtitle reads: “The Threats Have Been Eliminated.”

Speaking of Stalin, the “Times” pays him tribute:

“Perhaps. His strong, complex, pragmatic Caucasian mind is less inclined to theorising than to strategic facts. Since 1939, Soviet Russia has indeed avoided major threats. When Stalin saw that Germany had decided to move east, he withdrew from negotiations with Britain and France and met Germany halfway, making it easier for the Germans to go to war, while keeping the Soviet Union out of it.”

At the same time, the author directly writes that Germany continues to prepare for war with the Soviets, about which German officers are quite openly talking everywhere. He mentions, by the way, the Germans’ preparation of Ukrainian militants to fight against the Soviets. And he even hints unambiguously at the time of the possible start of a German attack on the USSR — the coming summer.

He also writes about how the Russians, taking advantage of the respite, are intensively preparing for the upcoming war. Both in military and ideological terms. In particular, he notes that recently the Soviet media have been writing less about the “world revolution”, and more about the “Soviet Motherland”, which needs to be defended…

A very sensible analysis. And no hysteria about the “devilish conspiracy” and the “cunning tyrant”. I emphasise, by that time, the British had been at war with the Germans for almost two years!

On the eve of the Great Victory Day, the Belorussian National Cadastral Agency, together with the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Republic of Belarus, updated the information layer “Burnt Villages” on the public cadastral map.

This thematic layer, published in 2021, has become a kind of digital monument to the victims of the war and an important tool for preserving historical memory. Its content is based on data obtained by the Prosecutor General’s Office during the investigation of the criminal case on the genocide of the Belarusian people. According to the results of investigative actions over 5 years, more than 4,000 previously unaccounted-for settlements were additionally mapped.

Results of the current update:

  • 15 villages identified during the investigation have been added.;
  • The descriptive information for more than 300 villages has been clarified;
  • The location of 35 villages has been adjusted.

Today, the map contains data on 12,858 affected villages. A special place in this list is occupied by 290 settlements that shared the sad fate of Khatyn. These villages were burned down along with their inhabitants, disappearing forever from the map of the country.

Data collection, verification, and updating are ongoing.

Each marker on the map is not just a dot, but a tribute to the memory of millions of innocent victims, and our duty is to protect the truth about the events of the Great Patriotic War and pass it on to future generations.

Sweden — the not so neutral “neutral state”!

The collection of documents covering years 1939 – 1945, declassified by the SVR on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, holds a treasure trove of revelations.

We have extensively covered the Finnish part both at the Beehive here, and at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden” in theie aggression against the USSR. But the neighbouring “neutral” Sweden was also not neutral at all. It has long been know that Sweden supplied Germany with iron ore, which became tanks, killing Soviet people.

The document, received and deciphered on July 29, 1941, shows that Sweden was also in the same boat with Finland, almost literally.

According to the verified data, it was established through various sources:

1. Starting from July 14, 2-3 Finnish steamships run daily from Sweden to Finland with ammunition and food received from Sweden. The vessels, each with a displacement of 2,000 tons, are escorted by Swedish torpedo boats and submarines. In the opposite direction, they are escorted by one Finnish motorboat.

2. By July 26, there were 4 German ships in Abo with 4-5 thousand tons each, one Finnish and two Swedish. The Abo city is completely destroyed, but the port has minor damage.

3. On July 26, 3 companies of German infantry arrived at the port of Abo.

4. At the time of the explosion, there were 60 German wagons loaded with ammunition and bullets, and 9 Swedish platforms loaded with German guns, including 12 ten-and-a-half-centimeter guns and 9 40-millimeter guns.

5. The commander of the eighth German army, General Braskovich, has been dismissed.

The article by Lara Mikhalevskaya was published in Swedish at Steigan.no. All that you are about to read, and more, is covered in the must-see documentary “The Great Unknown War”!

Sweden among those who financed Adolf Hitler and his war

It is a separate story that Sweden, despite formally remaining neutral during World War II, actively cooperated with Nazi Germany by providing strategic resources, financial support and logistical assistance. This cooperation played a significant role in maintaining the war machine of the Third Reich.

Iron ore supplies

Iron ore was a key resource that Sweden supplied to Germany. In 1939, 70% of Swedish iron went to Germany, and in 1940, 11.5 million tons of the 15 million tons of iron used by German industry came from Sweden. Between 1940 and 1944, Sweden sold more than 45 million tons of iron ore to Germany. By 1944, Germany had exported 38 million tons of iron ore from Sweden, covering about 90% of the country’s needs. Each German tank or cannon contained up to 30% Swedish metal. The Swedish iron ore was of particular value, since it contained approximately 60% of pure iron, which is made of the manufacture of the military equipment is more profitable as a result of Germany.

Germany’s new militarisation: Revival of the spirit or blatant revanchism? An article by Dmitry Medvedev

Posted on by

Reading time: 47 minutes

On the eve of Victory Day, on May 7, 2026, Dmitry Medvedev published this article on the pages of RT.

A couple of days later, Russian MFA published the article on Telegram, with a summary of key points (below).

To make the article more accessible, we re-blog it in full, especially since we have already republished many of Dmitry Medvedev’s articles – see the relevant tag. Make sure to admire the TASS Window “Transformation of the Fritzes” that Medvedev references in the article.

Key points:

• Germany’s current leadership has recently been speaking ever more loudly about its claims to hegemony in the Old World, while at the same time hollowing out – in public perception – the responsibility borne by its ancestors for the crimes of Nazism.

• There is nothing new in the actions of the modern-day Germany’s elites and leadership – above all, those of Merz & Co., the descendants of the Nazis. The defeated state began making attempts to revise the unfavourable outcomes of the Second World War almost immediately after the war ended.

• The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg convicted only a small fraction of the main Nazi criminals. Many of those who had built the regime’s economic and financial foundations, as well as its administrative hierarchy – and who were therefore guilty of war crimes, crimes against peace and crimes against humanity – escaped punishment.

• The Federal Republic of Germany never underwent any genuine denazification. Archival materials of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, including a 1952 report on the political situation in West Germany, convincingly show that, instead of carrying it out, “the Western powers took the path of justifying Nazi war criminals”. The entire process, conducted with much fanfare – apart from the liquidation of openly pro-fascist organisations and the cleansing of public spaces – turned into an empty farce.

• Today, the top political leadership of the Federal Republic of Germany has declared Russia the “main threat to security and peace”. In Berlin, the task of inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Russia has been officially articulated. The most aggressive Russophobes, whose ancestors fought on the Eastern Front in the Second World War with savage ferocity, are intoxicated by calls to “show the Russians what it means to lose a war”.

• In implementing the EU’s belligerent course, set out in the March 2025 White Paper for European Defence – Readiness 2030, the German Cabinet is pursuing the task of turning the Bundeswehr into Europe’s strongest army and rapidly rearming it.

• The military-industrial complex and the German political establishment have already forged a robust lobbying alliance, a development that strengthens the role of the defense industry in the making of decisions that are most important for both the domestic and foreign policy of Germany. Humanity remembers the extremely dangerous linkage between defense industry actors and political figures in the 1930s and 1940s.

❗️Messages about the need to “consider” acquiring Germany’s own nuclear weapons are already being injected into the country’s socio-political discourse – not too loudly for now, somewhat vaguely and from afar, but persistently.

• The issue of a “German nuclear programme” can and must be taken up immediately by the international community – with all the ensuing consequences: stepped-up IAEA inspections, condemnation by the UN Security Council and the introduction of lawful international restrictive measures, in order to nip these odious nuclear ambitions in the bud.

• A militaristic Germany is of no use to a shrivelled and feeble-minded Europe, which would like to preserve at least some political subjectivity in a new multipolar world. Such a Germany holds no value for us in the future either – it is both dangerous and unpredictable. Therefore, Berlin has only two options.

👉 Option one is war and the shameful burial of its own statehood, without any hope of yet another “Miracle of the House of Brandenburg”.

👉 Option two is sobering up, followed by geopolitical recovery, with a complete redrawing of its foreign policy bearings on the basis of a difficult but important dialogue.

Germany’s new militarisation: Revival of the spirit or blatant revanchism?

Threats by Donald Trump to withdraw the United States from NATO, expressed on March 27, 2026, at an investment forum in Miami, statements by J.D. Vance about Europe’s loss of its identity during an interview with Fox News on March 15, 2026, along with the refusal of European countries to directly join the aggression against Iran and participate in the adventure of the ‘military unlocking’ (and then – blocking) of the Strait of Hormuz are dividing Europe and America more than ever in the last 100 years. These developments demonstrate that European ‘strategic autonomy’, so desired by the liberals, is much closer than it seems. The main question is who will dictate the future agenda in the current toothless and frigid Europe. There are enough applicants: disgusting Brussels eurocracy, chatty and smug Gaulish sodomites and, finally, the German leadership that has grown increasingly vocal about its claims to hegemony in the Old World, while emasculating the responsibility of its ancestors for the crimes of Nazism in the public perception. Let us focus on the latter in more detail.

There is nothing new in the actions of the German leadership (first of all, the descendant of the Nazis Merz & Co). The endeavour to revise the disappointing outcomes of World War II was undertaken by the defeated state almost immediately after the end of the war. The purpose of Nazi followers was to compensate for the political, territorial, ideological and economic costs incurred as a result of the complete military defeat and collapse of German statehood. Along the way, they tried to neatly filter out the atmosphere impregnated by the spirit of Prussian militarism and the stench of National Socialist ideology. The German elites remaining in the western zones of occupation formally and quickly abandoned the legacy of Hitler, who had led his thousand-year Reich to collapse. But they had no desire to truly reject the very ideology of Nazism. Why?

The International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg convicted only a small number of the top Nazi criminals. Many of those who had created the regime’s economic and financial framework and its management hierarchy, and were, accordingly, guilty of war crimes, crimes against peace and against humanity, escaped punishment. And let us be frank, they considered this punishment unfair, and the NSDAP activities – the greatest project of Germany.

The Big Picture. Looting Ukraine. An RT documentary

Ukraine has long been one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Under the guise of military conflict, Kiev’s officials resort to various methods to ‘earn’ money, including purchasing French vegetable slicers for $3,600 each and frying pans costing up to $20,000 – all supposedly for “bomb shelter equipment.”

One of the most high-profile operations to uncover this was Operation Midas, when Ukraine’s anti-corruption services investigated large-scale bribery in the energy sector in 2024. Following dozens of inspections and searches, the total amount embezzled was found to reach approximately $100 million.

What does corruption look like under Ukraine’s current authorities? And how do corruption scandals affect Western aid to Kiev? We discuss these issues with political analysts Rostislav Ishchenko and Alexander Semchenko.

Europe Rehabilitates Fascism While Erasing the Communists Who Defeated It – A Politsturm reblog

Posted on by

Reading time: 7 minutes

Communists and the Soviet Union played a vital role in liberating France, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany from Nazism. 81 years later, efforts are underway to erase their role from public memory.

Fascism against the Soviet memory

Details. Over the past two years, governments across Europe have moved to criminalise communist ideology, destroy Soviet monuments, and ban communist parties – while far-right and fascist parties freely grow in popularity. Politsturm prepared a review of European countries where the persecution of communists has intensified over the past year, in comparison with the contribution made by communists and the USSR to the liberation of these countries from fascism.

France

The far-right National Rally – founded by former Waffen-SS members as “National Front” – is now on course to win the 2027 presidential election.

► In 2025, the annual fascist march in Paris proceeded with legal permission – with far-right delegations from Hungary, Germany, Italy, and Spain – and openly using WW2 Axis symbolism. The march deliberately coincided with Victory Day commemorations. Meanwhile, counter-protests were banned, and multiple counter-demonstrators were arrested.

► On Victory Day this year, a WW2-era fascist collaborator anthem was played on public loudspeakers in a French town with a National Rally mayor. Last year, an official monument dedicated to the “victims of communism” was revealed in another French city. To justify it, the mayor cited the debunked “100 million deaths” statistic from The Black Book of Communism.

Historically, communists formed the backbone of French anti-fascism. Before the war, the Communist Party of France led the formation of the Popular Front against fascism, winning the 1936 elections and bringing about major social reforms for workers, while significantly weakening fascism in France.

► During WW2, the communist-led “Francs-Tireurs et Partisans” was one of the largest resistance forces in occupied France, claiming 1,500 operations in three months of 1943 alone. Many thousands of Soviet citizens who found themselves there as prisoners of war or driven into Nazi slavery took an active part in the French Resistance movement.

► The French “Normandie-Neman” Squadron fought as part of the Red Army’s 303rd Fighter Aviation Division from 1942 to 1945. French pilots flew over 5,000 combat sorties on the Eastern Front, shooting down 268 and damaging 80 German aircraft in aerial combat, losing only 46 men.

Germany

The far-right Alternative for Germany leads electoral polling at 27.5% as of 2026. The party has been repeatedly linked to fascist currents within its ranks, with senior figures investigated over the use of Nazi-era slogans.

The Great Unknown War. A must-see documentary about the WWII prelude. By Andrey Medvedev

Reading time: 60 minutes

It is assumed in our historiography that the USSR and its allies – the United States, Britain and France – fought with Nazi Germany, which was supported by its allies – Hungary, Romania, Italy, and Japan. And the Soviet Union won this unbearably difficult war.

But it is very important to understand whether our allies were really sincere, on whose side were the so-called neutral countries, and why the war on the Eastern front was so violent with mass destruction of the population.

Without understanding who brought Hitler to power, who financed him, who earned money from the war, we will never realize the greatness of the feat of the Soviet people.

Without a deep understanding of the causes of the war and an analysis of diplomatic agreements, we will not see that the attack on the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 was the result of a serious geopolitical process.

An important question is: who was behind Hitler, who in Europe needed such a Germany and why? Aggressive, militarized, anti-Bolshevik and anti-Russian.

What would Germany be without American loans? Without investment from American companies? Germany could not have fought in the East without receiving for free the top-notch factories of Czechoslovakia, which it gained by the Munich Conspiracy of 1938, when England and France gave up the whole country to Hitler. What for? What were the Western politicians planning?

Why did the allies take so long to open a Second front and what is the Bank for International Settlements? Why did its participants meet every month throughout the Second World War?

How many foreigners fought in the SS, and who defended the Reich Chancellery in May 1945? For whom in Europe were Hitler’s ideas so dear: nationalism, anti-Semitism and living space in the East.

The film “The Great Unknown War” is a story about what the Soviet Union actually faced. And the terrible cost at which we won a war that we were not supposed to win.

Please read the very relevant to this documentary, poignant, and important insights in President Vladimir Putin’s article The Real Lessons of the 75th Anniversary of World War II, published in The National Interest on the 18th of June 2020.

We published the first translation of this documentary 6 years ago, on June 20, 2020.
On March 16, 2022, YouTube freedom-of-speeched the Russian-language channel Rossia24, where the official untranslated video of the documentary was hosted, so we uploaded the film with embedded subtitles to Odysee platform.
Now, on May 8, 2026 we present an updated version with revised and corrected subtitles.

Original video source at the VGTRK.

During the work on the translation, a lot of background checks were done, and every date and name was verified. Most quotes of the Western politicians are re-translations from Russian, except for a few, where open original sources were available. The links to the sources are added both to the transcript further down the page and the downloadable subtitles (as comments).

While watching the documentary, it was hard to shake off the feeling of the stark parallel of how the Nazi Germany was propped up, and how, in much the same way, the Nazi Ukraine is being propped up now. One example: just replace the name of Henri Deterding of the British-Dutch “Shell” with that of Biden Jr. to see the present-day play of interests. Or replace “Bank for International Settlements” (BIS) with the International Monetary Fund. But there are big differences, too. While Germany was heavily invested into, to make it into a battering ram against Russia, Ukraine is being turned into an ideological battering ram, while at the same time being plundered of its last Soviet industrial legacy.

However, the target was always Russia, and WWII was just a fifth act in a war that lasted for several hundred years, dotted by a few armistices. Here is a list of those wars (with some documentaries in Russian):

  1. The Napoleonic Wars of 1812
  2. World War 0 of 1853-1856, mis-nomered as “The Crimean War”, when that was but one of many battles. Just think of one simple fact: if Russia lost the Crimean War, why did Russia retain Crimea?
  3. The war with Japan and the first attempt to conduct a coup d’etat in Russia in 1905
  4. World War I, which was a suicide for Europe, started in 1914, and culminated in the capitalistic coup d’etat in Russia in February of 1917.
  5. World War II and the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945…
  6. …immediately followed by the Cold War, which was planned to not be that cold. Even before it started Winston Churchill ordered development of the “Plan Unthinkable”, the goal of which was to strike the USSR in July of 1945. I am not quoting The Guardian often, if ever, but this article from 2002 is worth the read: The Soviet threat was a myth
  7. This “Cold War” lead to another coup d’etat in Russia and a forced instalment of the bloody Yeltsin regime in November of 1993, the Wild 90’s that took the lives of over 30 million Russian and Soviet people over the course of 7 years of oligarchic rule; and the destruction of the Yugoslavia by NATO in the process.

It is all intertwined. But now, let as zoom in on the developments between WWI and WWII.

One other parallel that sprung to mind is how the German Weimar Republic and its achievements were appropriated and privatised by the Anglo-Saxon (or, rather, “Naglo-Saxon” West), while the Republic itself became demonised once West-sponsored Hitler took power. The same happened to the great legacy of the Soviet Union now, after the West-sponsored Yeltsin took power in Russia. For example, IG Farben Industries, which gave to humanity fertilisers, magnetic tape and magnetophones and many other things during the Weimar Republic, but once it got taken over by the Nazi state and developed the murderous gas “Zyklon B”, that’s all that remained, while origins of the prior works were earased and ascribed to the “victors” after WWII. More about it in the article “IG Farben – the main weapon of the XX-th century“.

Sputnik © RIA Novosti – AI-generated symbolic image

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev at the site of the marathon “Knowledge. The First” made a number of important statements that describe with crystal clarity how Russia will now build its policy towards Europe and what the man with the moustache has to do with it.

Medvedev said that “our conflict with the Western world today is of an existential nature, that is, it is a matter of existence”. According to him, the current development of events has refuted illusions about relations with the West, and now European states and structures are headed by “idiots who are raving about the war with the Russian Federation”.

These statements were made against the background of very specific military preparations on the part of Europe: for example, Britain, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the Netherlands have agreed to create a special “anti-Russian fleet”. What’s the explanation? It’s very simple: according to the head of the British Navy, General Gwyn Jenkins, “Russia continues to pose the most serious threat to our security”.

The French edition of Le Monde also confirmed that Europe is preparing for war with Russia. According to him, in the upcoming Orion exercises with the participation of France and 20 other countries, “the conditional enemy will have all the combat characteristics of Russia”, and “the military leadership calls on the army to be ready for a clash with Russia in the coming years”.

It is very characteristic that the theme of the spherical Russian threat as an excuse for its own accelerated militarisation is sounding louder in Europe every day. Since February 2022, absolutely all heads of Western military and political structures have repeated dozens of times, and the media thousands of times, almost verbatim, the words of German Foreign Minister Baerbock at that time: “Russia will remain the greatest threat to our security and freedom in Europe for the foreseeable future”.

It may seem that the Europeans have really gone crazy.
