In 2024, Kamal El Salim did an extensive research into the front pages of the Swedish daily “Expressen, and published the results in the fourth issue of Parabol Press. Below this article, we present another material on the same topic: “Cognitive dissonance as a mechanism of control”, which builds on Expressen-based findings. Both articles were first translated to our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”.

Read also our 2017 article The Upside-down World of the Western Main Stream Media (MSM).

Almost nine out of ten are about Vladimir Putin. Often there are speculations about his death, plans for World War III and girlfriends. What does this one-sided fixation on one person mean? How has it affected the NATO process? And what happened to the news agency? Kamal El Salim has gone through Expressen’s front pages for two years.

Every day a newspaper editor has to make a choice. Which news is most important and deserves a place on the front page, one and poof? Is it the latest gang shooting, or the murdered woman? Is it climate change, NATO membership, the healthcare crisis, one of the major wars raging in Ukraine and Palestine?

For the editor of Expressen, the choice has been easy over the past two years. The number one spot goes, in nine out of ten cases, to Vladimir Putin.

Parabol has looked at Expressen’s front pages for just under two years, from the outbreak of war in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, until December 31, 2023. The front pages of the evening newspapers are interesting precisely because they reach the entire population, even those who do not buy the newspaper or read it online. Every time we shop in a grocery store or kiosk, we see them while we are standing in line – we are therefore influenced even if we do not want to. What kind of picture do they give of the present? The fact that I chose Expressen is just a matter of delimitation – focusing on Aftonbladet or another newspaper would probably have given similar results, but that is not a comparative analysis we are looking for here.

After going through 671 front pages (what is called “one”, namely the biggest news on the page, and what is called “puff”), the result is clear. In 586 of them – a full 87% – Russian President Vladimir Putin is mentioned.

Note that they are not about Ukraine, or about Russia, or about the war, but about Putin, to the point that the headlines personify the nation of Russia as a single person.

The front pages can be divided into a number of categories:

Putin will lose

174 front pages are about Putin losing the war. Some examples of this are “3 Russia experts: It could be the end for Putin”, “Magnus Falkehed: This is the beginning of the end for Putin”, “Mats Larsson: NEW LAW SHOWS PUTIN’S DESPERATION” and “Expert: PUTIN COULD FALL AT ANY TIME”.

NATO: Beyond Law, Beyond Morality. An RT Documentary. With Soviet caricatures

The film traces the history of NATO since its creation in 1949, allegedly to “ensure the collective security of its member states.” However, from the very beginning, the bloc’s true purpose was “to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down,” as the alliance’s first Secretary General, Hastings Ismay, formulated its mission in Europe.


Backup at Rumble.

In 1955, the USSR and its allies created the Warsaw Pact, which was capable of counterbalancing NATO, and a fragile peace was maintained in Europe for nearly half a century.

However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, the counterbalance to NATO disappeared. The North Atlantic alliance carried out dozens of military operations in various parts of the world, steadily advancing towards Russia’s borders through the accession of new member states.

Yugoslavia became the alliance’s first major “testing ground.” Under the guise of a “humanitarian operation,” the United States dropped thousands of bombs on homes, bridges, and factories. Middle Eastern countries – Syria, Libya, and Iraq – suffered wars that led to massive human casualties and widespread destruction.

In the 1980s-90s, while Western leaders verbally assured Moscow that NATO would never expand eastward, in fact, the alliance’s borders have gradually drawn closer to Russia since 1999, as Eastern European states joined the bloc, one after the other.

Today, NATO openly singles out Russia and Belarus as key potential targets in its military strategy. The deployment of troops and weapons in close proximity to Russia’s and Belarus’s borders is under discussion. The threat of nuclear war no longer seems abstract: NATO’s updated military doctrine includes the right of first strike.

Under the Old Guise

This caricature appeared in the Soviet satirical magazine “Krokodil”, issue № 06 in 1979. It had the title of “Under the old guise”

The drawing was accompanied by a news item, seen in the upper right corner:

The myths about the “Soviet threat” are not new… It was also referred to by those who created the NATO military bloc, directed against the Soviet country, which had lost 20 million people in the fight against the aggressor.

Article by Sergey Lavrov «Ukraine, Europe and Global Security», 19 June 2026. Reblog.

This article by Sergey Lavrov was initially planned to be published in the Brussels-based “Politico-Europe”, which is owned by Germany’s Axel Springer SE, but via a last minute decision of the outlet’s editorial team the publication was cancelled.

Maria Zaharova commented: “Here’s the proof: Brussels that talks about democracy & pluralism is blocking information from Russia”

Some Reflections on Resolving the Ukrainian Crisis, Europe and Global Security

At a meeting in London on 7 June 2026, the leaders of Britain, France, and Germany, as well as Vladimir Zelensky, laid out five preconditions for Russia to secure a “just and lasting peace” in Ukraine. The united Europe now presents this list of demands as the basis for dialogue with Moscow.

Background

More than two decades of negotiation with Europe, as part of the collective West, leads to only one conclusion: engaging Russia in dialogue has served as a diplomatic smokescreen for the geopolitical expansion of Western institutions, above all NATO and the European Union, eastwards, right up to Russia’s borders.

Europe’s complicity in fuelling the Ukrainian crisis is undeniable. Together with the United States, European countries orchestrated the Orange Revolution in Kiev in 2004. To create an anti-Russian bridgehead in Ukraine, they spent years buying off politicians and entire parties, rewriting history and educational curricula, cultivating and nurturing Ukrainian nationalism, and went to great lengths to pull away Ukraine away from Russia.

In 2013, the European Union rejected outright our proposal for a compromise on the association agreement – a deal Brussels had long been pressing Viktor Yanukovich to sign. It is worth recalling: Ukraine was offered unilateral market opening, without reciprocal commitments – terms that would have proved incompatible with Kiev’s continued membership in the CIS free-trade zone. When Viktor Yanukovich requested a deferral, the Europeans incited street riots which swiftly escalated into a coup d’état in Kiev in February 2014.

Germany, France and Poland then proved themselves to be equally treacherous. Having guaranteed that the agreement struck between the opposition and Viktor Yanukovich would be honoured, they washed their hands of it the instant that same opposition, their own handiwork, took power. “Democracy,” they shrugged, “takes unexpected turns.”

Europe thereafter lent its backing to the new authorities. In Odessa on 2 May 2014, the burning alive of dozens of innocent supporters of closer ties with Russia did not draw a single word of condemnation from European capitals.

As co-guarantors of the 2015 Minsk Agreements, France and Germany effectively encouraged the Ukrainian regime to sabotage its own commitments. As Angela Merkel and François Hollande later conceded – after the special military operation had already begun – the implementation by Kiev of the Minsk Agreements, unanimously approved by the UN Security Council, was never genuinely intended. The objective, they admitted, was merely to buy time: to shore up the Armed Forces of Ukraine and flood them with Western weaponry.

Russia, for its part, explored every diplomatic avenue to defuse Europe’s security crisis. However, in January 2022, the United States and NATO rejected Russia’s proposal for legally binding mutual security guarantees. European NATO members actively endorsed that rebuff.

Following the launch of the special military operation, the united Europe threw its support behind the British Prime Minister’s efforts to sabotage the Istanbul negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Boris Johnson’s appeal to Kiev – “don’t sign anything, just fight” – slammed the door on genuine diplomacy for the foreseeable future.

Current Situation

So what has prompted European leaders to suddenly shift their rhetoric and start talking of negotiations and what are they aiming for with these statements? For instance, the EU diplomacy head Kaja Kallas has stated: the purpose of any dialogue with Russia is to dictate Europe’s terms. These include: paying “reparations” to Ukraine; withdrawing troops from Transnistria and the South Caucasus; abolishing the “foreign agents” law; and accept hard limits on the size of the Russian Federation’s Armed Forces. In her framing, “there can be no just and lasting peace without accountability for Russia.” During the UN Security Council session on 19 May 2026, an EU representative made the point unequivocally: “supporting Ukraine militarily does not contradict the pursuit of peace, but rather serves as a fundamental prerequisite for any credible, good-faith negotiations.”

The mystery of the death of the first commandant of Berlin, Nikolai Berzarin

June 16 marks the 81st anniversary of the death of the first commander of Berlin, Colonel-General Nikolay Erastovich Berzarin.

On April 24th, 1945, as the Soviet troops were still in the process of taking Berlin, three-star General Nikolai Berzarin was appointed as the commandant of the city, by Marshal Georgy Zhukov, and tasked with restoring order in the former capital of the Third Reich.

A million and a half civilians still remained in the ruined city with no water, electricity, food, public transportation or anything else. Following an order of his command, General Berzarin brought the German city back to life and gave hope to its exhausted by the war inhabitants.

Soviet Colonel-General Nikolai Berzarin was in charge of the 5th Shock Army that took Berlin during the final push for victory that started on April 16th, 1945, and ended with the capitulation of Nazi Germany. He was appointed the first commandant of Berlin, and did a spectacular job bringing the city back to life.

Fifty-four days later, on June 16th, 1945, Nikolai Berzarin’s life was cut short in a terrible crash. But was it just an unfortunate road accident or something much more sinister?

Watch this great documentary, translated by Putinger’s Cat, showing some aspects of what was going on in East Germany immediately before the end of the Third Reich and right after.

As a sidenote, in case you’ve never heard of it before or are not sure of what it means, SMERSH was a Soviet counter-intelligence organization that officially started working in April 1943 and was dissolved in May 1946. Coined by Joseph Stalin, the name “SMERSH” is a portmanteau formed by combining the first letters of two Russian words “смерть шпионам” meaning “death to spies”. SMERSH was tasked with subverting attempts of nazi forces to infiltrate the Red Army on the Eastern Front and perform subversive activities.

A Hero of the Soviet Union, an outstanding military commander and a man who played a key role in the post-war reconstruction of Berlin. It was he who organized food supplies, opened field kitchens, provided children with milk, delivered scarce medicines to the city and prevented a humanitarian catastrophe.

Under his leadership, the reconstruction of the infrastructure began: a power station was launched, bridges, roads, power lines and the city’s life-support systems were repaired. In just 54 days, he laid the foundation for the future peaceful Berlin.

Nikolay Berzarin tragically died in a car accident on June 16, 1945, in the streets of the liberated city.

On April 19, 2024, the name of Colonel-General Berzarin was officially assigned to a school at the Russian Embassy in Germany — in recognition of his heroism and historical significance.

The Unknown Cold War. Film 1. ‘Unthinkable’ Allies. An RT Documentary

Posted on by

Reading time: 3 minutes

‘Unthinkable’ Allies is the first documentary in The Unknown Cold War series. The film explores how decisions made by Western leaders in the 1940s led to an era of nuclear tension.


Backup at Rumble.
Watch the feature on the RT.Doc website.

In the summer of 1945, the leaders of World War II’s victorious powers – the USSR, US, and UK – convened in Potsdam to formalize agreements that would determine how the postwar world was to function after the defeat of Nazism. The leaders sat at the negotiating table, while reporters described the triumphant atmosphere – it seemed like the beginning of a new era, in which the great powers would live in peace. But it was precisely these agreements that became the starting point of a new war – the Cold War.

The cooperative image concealed a growing alienation. The new US president, Harry Truman, viewed the Soviet Union with distrust. While smiling at Stalin, Winston Churchill was discussing plans for a possible strike against the USSR. Instead of mutual understanding between former allies, a latent hostility was growing that would transform into a prolonged confrontation, step by step. The outcome was a world divided into opposing poles.

A review by the Russian Foreign Ministry

The film explores how the Western allies of the Soviet Union in the anti-Hitler coalition — whose peoples, side-by-side with our nation crushed Nazism — eventually abandoned allied solidarity forged in fire of WW2. Under the pressure of ideological differences and their profound rejection of the post-war model of development promoted by Moscow, the Allies embarked on the path of confrontation and containment of the USSR.

The evidence, files and testimonies presented in this feature elucidate facts behind some pivotal political decisions by the UK and US leaders driven by the determination to “defeat”, as they put it, the ‘Red Menace’. Those political superstitions reigning in the minds of the Western leaders and hostility toward the Soviet ideology effectively put the world into an era of bipolar confrontation with the unprecedented risks of mankind descending into nuclear catastrophe.

In the summer of 1945, the Potsdam Conference was held on the defeated Nazi German soil.

The Leaders of the victorious powers — the USSR, the United States, and UK — framed together the post-war world order and reached the final settlement of the German issue by dismantling Nazi military and industry, having eradicated Hitler’s ideology.

Nazism was defeated. The Reich was no more.

In the aftermath of the Great Victory, it seemed that a new era was upcoming — the final and, seemingly, long-awaited moment when the Great Powers, determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, would build their relations upon the principles of constructive cooperation, mutual trust and respect, cemented by the common background of years of the allied fight against the evil of Nazism.

Yet, the Western block, emboldened by the successful testing of the atomic bomb at Los Alamos (at first, designed as a means of deterring Nazi Germany, but, following its final surrender, the bomb was further seen by US leadership as the deadliest instrument of blackmail) and by the bomb’s subsequent use against the civilians of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the hostility toward the Soviet Union and Soviet people was just increasingly growing and seemed implacable.

👉 In the UK government, the discussions were held on the possibility of a pre-emptive strike against Moscow — the infamous plan later exposed as the top secret Operation ‘Unthinkable’.

Instead of seeking better understanding and trust, the former WWII Western allies were nurturing aggressive plans that further evolved into dangerous Cold War confrontation.

Ukrainian USA-backed Nazis have committed another act of terrorism, attacking a bus with Belorussian children in Russia’s Bryansk Region

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s statement on the attack by Ukrainian militants on a bus carrying Belarusian children in Russia’s Bryansk Region

On June 17, the Nazi regime in Kiev committed yet another monstrous crime.

On the A-240 highway in the Pochep District of Russia’s Bryansk Region, Ukrainian drones equipped with shrapnel attacked a civilian bus carrying children from sports schools in the Belarusian cities of Gomel and Rechitsa to Gelendzhik for vacation.

There were 44 people on board, including 28 children. The woman accompanying the minors was killed. Eight people, including six young athletes, were injured.

All those injured were promptly taken to the Bryansk Regional Hospital, where they are receiving medical assistance. One man and two children are in serious condition. The remaining passengers will be returned home shortly.

Russia’s Investigative Committee has classified this crime as a terrorist act and opened a criminal case. Work is ongoing to establish all the circumstances of this crime and identify those involved. We are confident that all perpetrators will be brought to justice.

We express our deep condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased and wish a speedy recovery to all those injured.

We are in direct contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus and the Embassy of the of Belarus in Moscow.

We stand in solidarity with our Belarusian friends and are ready to provide them with the necessary assistance.

❗️ We strongly condemn this vile crime by the Zelensky regime, which, despite its hypocritical claims of allegedly being committed to protecting children, deliberately puts them in danger and, without hesitation – as was the case in Starobelsk – makes them the target of planned AFU strikes.

We call on international structures, national governments and the global public to give an honest assessment of the Zelensky regime’s criminal acts and strongly condemn this terrorist attack.

Silence will mean approval of this crime and encouragement for Kiev terrorists to commit new bloody atrocities.

Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation

A criminal case under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (act of terrorism) has been opened into the drone attack carried out by Ukrainian militants in Russia’s Bryansk Region against a passenger bus carrying children from the Republic of Belarus.

According to the investigation, on June 17, Ukrainian armed groups attacked a double-decker bus belonging to Children’s and Youth Sports School No.2 of the city of Rechitsa (Belarus) with a strike UAV on the A240 highway in Russia’s Bryansk Region.

The vehicle was traveling from the Republic of Belarus along the Gomel – Gelendzhik route. There were 44 passengers on board, including 28 child athletes. All of them were heading for vacation.

According to preliminary information, a woman, a Belarusian citizen, was killed. Seven people, including five children, were injured and hospitalised. Information on the victims is being clarified.

Russia’s Investigative Committee is establishing the details of the crime and identifying the specific individuals involved.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Ambassador of Russia to Belarus Boris Gryzlov

💬 A terrible tragedy in Russia’s Bryansk Region. Today, Ukrainian Nazis attacked a passenger bus with drones as it was carrying a group of Belarusian children to Gelendzhik for vacation.

I want to emphasise that this inhumane act of terrorism was committed by Ukrainian militants deliberately and consciously. They targeted a passenger bus. It was simply impossible not to see it, impossible to mistake it for military equipment. They knew exactly what they were doing.

This is the true face of the Kiev regime. They are war criminals – from the person who operated the drone to the entire top leadership.

We will identify the names of everyone involved in this outrageous act of terrorism against innocent children and civilians. They will not escape retribution.

The Banderites continue their fight against the Russian language

At Beorn And The Shieldmaiden we reported earlier that US puppet, Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a law removing the Russian language from the list of languages subject to protection in Ukraine under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages –Ruslan Stefanchuk, Verkhovna Rada Speaker.

“The little dictator at little Ukraine”. Source

“The Russian language has been removed from the list of languages to which Ukraine applies the provisions of the Charter.”

The corresponding law was signed by Zelensky. The Verkhovna Rada voted for its adoption back in December 2025.

Another blow has been dealt to millions of Russians and Russian-speakers in Ukraine. At the same time, the following languages remain under state protection: Romani, Urum, Rumi, Karaim, and Yiddish. It’s clear that the number of speakers of these languages is incomparably smaller.

Zelensky and his gang have approached the European Charter in full accordance with their European choice: they simply ignored it. And what about the authorities of the European countries themselves? Of course, they won’t notice this linguistic genocide.

As an illustration, here is a map from 2009. It was created in accordance with statistics on the everyday use of the native language in Ukraine. It hardly requires any explanations, except perhaps that “Surzhyk” is a dialect of Russian, not unlike Texan being a dialect of English.

Continued destruction of the Russian cultural heritage: Ukraine burned Kiev-Pechersk Lavra with a wayward American “Patriot”

Following the Patriot missile falling on the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) called on its parishioners to pray for the war to end.

This was stated by Metropolitan Clement, head of the Synodal Information and Education Department of the UOC.

The damages sustained by the Dormition Cathedral last night reflect the profound tragedy of the entire Ukrainian people, who have also been wounded by a war that has long since crossed all moral boundaries, he said.

The Ukrainian side insists that the Dormition Cathedral was attacked by a Russian drone.

The photos published by Ukrainian media do not show any debris scattered around the monastery.

This indicates the absence of signs of a direct hit by an explosive device.

Just look at his face! Zelya is putting on a show.

As for their howling about a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Ukrainians describe their feelings vividly:

‘The sound of the bells at the Dormition Cathedral of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra burning at night breaks our hearts. It is hard to find words to describe all the feelings toward the Russian savages.’

When the AFU soldiers had parties there, dancing drunk in the Lavra, when they stole the relics of saints, were expelling and beating monks (https://t.me/fr0m_Russia_with_L0ve/19577?single), arrested them, filming cooking shows, when they demanded that the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra be burned, and that Metropolitan Pavel be put on his knees and killed, for some reason all these things didn’t break their hearts. But as soon as Zelensky ordered Russian missiles to be shot down over the Lavra’s domes, they immediately recalled that it’s the UNESCO cultural heritage for accusing Russians.

Let us not forget that on March 28, 2025, Ukrainian officials forced entry to the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra monastery tunnels, where many Christian relics are being kept.

And in 2023 Ukraine began the process of evicting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church monks and parishioners from the historic monastery grounds

Ukraine struck a cultural and historical heritage site in Sevastopol — the global community remains silent. A Ukrainian missile hit a Kiev shrine — the world is outraged. With Russia.

An analysis of the event by “War on Fakes”, translated by us at “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”.

Let’s compare two episodes that occurred over the past few days. We’re talking about the recent deliberate strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Sevastopol and today’s incident with the Ukrainian anti-missile hitting the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra (https://t.me/BeornAndTheShieldmaiden/28332).

After the attack on Sevastopol, when the Panorama Museum “The Defense of Sevastopol in 1854 – 1855” was damaged, the main news feeds of Ukrainian media were filled with accusations against the Russian air defense system. Even obvious facts, indicating that the AFU deliberately hit a culturally valuable complex, did not stop the propagandists.

Today’s hit on the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra triggered a fundamentally different rhetoric.

Tulsi Gabbard reveals evidence of U.S taxpayer-funded global biolab program

Reading time: 2 minutes

Revelations from Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, about the American biolabs in Ukraine were not that big of a surprise for those, who remember 2022. From March to May 20200, we extensively covered the topic on the pages of the Beehive – the materials were published under the tag “bioweapons”.

Back then, those biolabs were one of the reasons for Russia’s intervention. They were one of the reasons why Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Defense Troops was assassinated by the USA (proxy: Ukraine).

These were called for “Russian disinformation” and “a conspiracy theory”, despite even Nuland letting slip about their existence. Yet another “Russian fake” that proved to be Russian truth, with many more to follow until the West finally wakes up, hopefully not to smell the ashes of own making.

‼️Yesterday and today, at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”, we compiled a recap of multiple materials on the topic of the USA’s biolabs in Ukraine (and Georgia) spanning 2022 to 2026, and we invite all our readers to read and watch them. There you will find a translated reportage from one such biolab in Mariupol, Victoria Nuland’s admission to having such biolabs on March 8, 2022 and Ned Price accusing Russia of lying about the biolabs on March 9, 2022. And much more…

And to round it off, a must-watch RT documentary film “Biological Warfare Department” from 2023:


Backup at Rumble.

In March 2022, Russian ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, presented a report that detailed a network of 30 biological weapons labs in Ukraine. With each passing day, volunteers uncover new evidence of illegal activities related to the development of biological weapons in the liberated territories of Donbass. Oksana, an officer from Luhansk, serves in a special unit whose aim is to gather more evidence of the existence of secret US bioweapons factories. ‘The adverse reactions and fatalities that occurred here were all covered up, as evidenced by the removed records and locals testifying that very often, large black plastic bags were hauled out of here, and rather bizarre deaths occurred’, she says.

Through meticulous research and expert interviews, this documentary sheds light on the activities that take place in the US biolaboratories in Ukraine, Georgia, Indonesia and other countries worldwide. Former high-ranking officials and journalists who dared to visit these laboratories explain how the sophisticated network was established, and reveal its ultimate purpose.

Brainwashing is spreading in Norway

An article by Dan-Viggo Bergtun published in steigan.no on June 11, 2026, and translated from Norwegian by us at “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”. Even though the article is written primarily with Norway in mind, what Dan-Viggo says is equally applicable to all the Western European countries, so heed the warning!

We AI-translated from Norwegian the AI-generated image by Dan-Viggo Bergtun. There are a couple of inaccuracies, as can be expected. “Fred” means “peace” in Norwegian, so the bubble in the middle should read “Peace is naivety”. Two of the bubbles in the corner should read: “We must be scared” and “This is for our own best”.
See the original image in Norwegian further down in the article.

Brainwashing is when common sense is wiped out. It is when the human capacity for independent judgment is gradually weakened, overridden and replaced by ready-made slogans, fixed enemy images and political reflexes. The brainwashed person does not necessarily think he is lying. The dangerous thing is precisely that he can be convinced that he is telling the truth, because the propaganda has been repeated for so long that it is perceived as his own thought.

This is what makes the development in Norway so serious. Our politicians are becoming the bearers of a brainwashing they themselves do not see. They repeat the message of war as if it were wisdom. They repeat the threat images as if they were sober analysis. They repeat that more guns means more security, as if history has not already shown us how wrong it can go when societies let fear rule.

This is no longer just about political dissent. It is about the manipulation of an entire people. We are manipulated through words, images, headlines, news broadcasts, expert panels and political speeches. We are told that the world is so dangerous that we must accept ever more rearmament. We are told that thoughts of peace are naivety. We are told that diplomacy is weakness. We are told that obedience to alliances and great powers is the same as responsible Norwegian politics.

This is how the boundaries in our heads are shifted. Little by little. Day after day.

Maria Zaharova writes:

We have now witnessed an attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the panorama “The Defense of Sevastopol 1854 – 1855”. According to media reports, it has been almost completely destroyed. Let me remind you that Franz Roubaud’s panorama “The Defense of Sevastopol 1854 – 1855” is a world-famous work of battle painting, dedicated to the key battle of the Crimean War* — the assault on Malakhov Hill on June 6, 1855, when the Russian troops managed to repel the attack of the superior forces of the Anglo-French army.

This is yet another proof of why Westerners are using the Kiev regime for their own interests. They need, among other things, to destroy evidence of their crimes and defeats.

They have already become adept at destroying historical monuments in their own territory, and now they want to destroy monuments in the post-Soviet space as well. They tried to destroy them with our own hands by spreading pseudoscientific materials and pseudo-historical textbooks, trying to influence our domestic politics. It didn’t work.

Booby traps used by the Dushmans bear traces of American “technology”. Radio-controlled mines for adults, mines-toys for children

Another case of US-backed Ukrainian terrorists booby trapping everyday objects has come to light. This time it is water bottles. Previously, ever since 2022, there had been reports of Ukraine dropping booby trapped everyday objects in Donetsk.

Afghan women choose LP records in a music store, before the Taliban came to power. Afghanistan, 1960.

Today, in the age of Internet, it is easy to ascertain who stands behind these atrocities, and we are not speaking about Ukraine, but about its handler – the USA. In light of this development, another era comes to mind – the war in Afghanistan, where USA also created and used a proxy, Taliban, and applied the same insidious “technologies” – planting bombs and then shifting the blame for them on to the USSR.

Let us first read an admission coming from the mass murderer, Zbigniew Brzezinski, admitting to the crime of terrorism, all in the name of breaking up the USSR, which in turn was the largest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century, after WWII. The collapse of the USSR, directly and indirectly, resulted in about 30 million Soviet people losing their lives due to poverty, malnutrition, crime, wars and conflicts. Today’s civil war in Ukraine, fuelled by the USA, is also a direct consequence of Zbigniew Brzezinski actions and the collapse of the USSR.

From a 1998 interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski on Afghanistan in Le Nouvel Observateur

Q : When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against secret US involvement in Afghanistan, nobody believed them. However, there was an element of truth in this. You don’t regret any of this today?

B: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter, essentially: “We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war.” Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war that was unsustainable for the regime, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.

Q: And neither do you regret having supported Islamic fundamentalism, which has given arms and advice to future terrorists?

B : What is more important in world history? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some agitated Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?

And now, let us move on to an article with an interview, published by “Argumenty i Fakty” on February 6, 1988, debunking the projected accusations directed by the murderer at its victim:

Booby traps used by the Dushmans bear traces of American “technology.” Radio-controlled mines for adults, mines-toys for children

Recently, the “Voice of America” program once again claimed that Soviet troops in Afghanistan continue to allegedly use mines disguised as children’s toys. Our correspondent asked a group of internationalist soldiers who served there over the years to comment on such reports: colonels A. GREBENYUK and A. LOGACHEV, officers of the engineering troops; A. DAVYDOV and S. VERASHCHAGIN, now students of the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute; S. VISLOYAN, V. KARIMOV, S. CHIKIN, workers of the AZLK; V. KARASEV, now a student at MGIMO.

CORRESPONDENT. Who uses mines more often in Afghanistan: Soviet troops or Dushman (Taliban) groups?

GREBENYUK. Our and Afghan troops are not in a defensive position, they have no military need for widespread use of mines. The dushmans defend themselves: striking from around the corner, stealthily, in order to escape from pursuit, they set up minefields, masking them very carefully.

But, in addition, mines are insidious and terrible sabotage weapons, automatic weapons of destruction, which make it possible to inflict losses without putting themselves in danger. Every year, thousands of mines are planted by Dushmans on roads and in populated areas.

DAVIDOV. This is not to say that mines are found in Afghanistan at every turn, but during my year and a half of service there, I was blown up in transport twice. The commander of my guard company, Captain E. Dymov, died, covering a land mine with his body. Last summer, while working in Kabul as part of a student medical team, our group almost fell victim to a motorcycle bomb explosion, we did not reach it by only forty meters.

CORRESPONDENT. Which mines do Dushmans prefer to use?

This film chronicles a drone attack during which the Ukrainian Armed Forces killed sleeping students in cold blood. Twenty-one people died and several dozen were injured. These young people had dreamed of becoming teachers and working in schools. Some were even already planning their weddings. But their dreams were buried beneath the rubble.

The film crew visited what remained of the dormitory building, along with the students and teachers who survived. Their aim was to piece together every detail of those horrific events. Among them was Elena Yuryeva, a teacher who saved more than 30 injured students by leading them out of the dorm.

The drone raid launched by the Kiev regime in Starobelsk claimed the lives of innocent teens. Their deaths are a tragedy for their parents, as well as the teachers who had to identify their students’ bodies. The survivors are left with harrowing memories. The terrorist attack has inflicted immense pain on the city and all of Russia.

Watch the new film by Olga Kiriy, Ilya Andilevko, and Alexey Balakirev ‘Starobelsk. No Child Should Die’.

The attack on a bus carrying civilians in Yenakievo is not a tragic accident. It is a vile, deliberate, and inhumane crime against people who were unarmed and posed no threat to anyone.

When civilians, women, elderly, and families become the target and come under fire this is a manifestation of cruelty that transcends all human and moral norms. It is an atrocity for which there is and can be no justification.

There are no military objectives that could justify the bloodshed of civilians. There are no arguments that can absolve those who issue and execute such criminal orders from responsibility.

Those who turn civilians into targets must know: these crimes have no statute of limitations and cannot be hidden behind political slogans or propaganda. Every incident will be subject to legal assessment, and every perpetrator will face the punishment they deserve.

I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the victims. In this difficult time, we share their grief and hope for the swift recovery of all the wounded.

Before you is a fragment of a 1943 Soviet comedy film, created at the joint film studios of Stalinobad* and Soyuzdetfilm**.

It very abruptly stops being a comedy when the monologue of Aunt Adele (played by the legendary Faina Ranevskaya) tears right through at your soul. It is Motherland speaking on behalf of all those mothers, whose children were killed by the Nazis. It is an accusation of Nazism and a declaration of the ultimate judgement to come, a public judgement which, as we know, manifested in the Nuremberg Trials.

Transcript:

Schweik: Oh, you, despicable dog! Who are you calling for, fool?
You’ve killed everyone, but you should’ve started with me.

After all, I am Iosif Schweik. Yes, yes, the very same! The book about whom you burned on the squares of Berlin. The one that hates you, like all the Czechs, like all the Slavs, the whole world!

Close your mouth! Stand at the wall!

Aunt Adele: What are you going to do, Schweik?

Schweik: I want to shoot him, Aunt Adele.

Aunt Adele: Put the revolver away. We are going to judge him.

Listen, you! I don’t even know how to call you. There is no suitable word in the human language. My children were shot at at your behest. Thousands of graves are along your way, and in each lies my child, killed by you. I fed and watered each one of them, taught them to walk, waited for each one of them, but the wait was in vain. No one came back home, did not sit at the table with me, did not lead the old me along the street by my hand, and at night, did not breathe with one breath under the same roof with me.

Why did you kill them?!

Are you silent?!

But you will answer us, you will answer to everyone, for whom you brought suffering and grief.

Schweik: Not so fast! Nothing will help you now.

Trivia:

This film might have served as an inspiration to the 1978 Italian comedy “Uncle Adolf, Nicknamed Führer”, a fragment from which we posted earlier.

* Stalinobad is the name of the present-day Dushanbe — the capital of Tajik SSR. It was called thus between 1929 and 1961 — literally the Stalingrad of Tajikistan. Dushanbe means “Monday”, and stems from the name of the village, where the capital was founded in 1925. Before that, the village was literally called Dyushambe-Bozor — “a market on Mondays”.

** Soyuzdetfilm is an abbreviation for “The Union’s Children’s Films”.
