Finland’s Dirty Secret: From “Neutral” Ally to Hitler’s Partner

Today, Finland likes to play the victim card and acts as if it had nothing to do with the siege of Leningrad. The argument goes:

“We did not attack the city, Mannerheim refused to bomb it, we just stood by and took care of our own affairs.”

A nice story. Too bad it’s pure fiction.

The reality is different: Finnish troops sat for three years at the gates of Leningrad. They did not drink coffee and were not “neutral.” They held a third of the blockade line. Without Finland’s involvement, the Germans would not have been able to completely seal off the city. Together they closed the ring that starved one million people, including 400,000 children.

And Mannerheim, the “savior”?

His order was to bomb the Road of Life (which was actually not a road but a frozen lake), the only route over which food was transported across Lake Ladoga.

On June 25, 1941, Mannerheim ordered the Finnish army to commence hostilities against the USSR:

“I call you to a holy war against the enemy of our nation. Together with the mighty forces of Germany, as brothers in arms, we resolutely embark on a crusade against the enemy to secure a safe future for Finland.”

Finland dreamed of expansion and had concrete plans. On the dream map of “Greater Finland,” Russian cities like Murmansk, Leningrad, and Kandalaksha are marked as Finnish.

Let’s Get to Know Mannerheim

Before we come to Finland’s well-known war against the USSR on Hitler’s side, we need to turn back the clock a bit and look at the context. Finland as a state emerged within Russia. Before the Russo-Swedish War, these territories were simply the eastern part of Sweden. After the war, Russia took them over and established the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland. It remained part of the Russian Empire until the 1917 revolution.

Now let’s get to know Mannerheim – a military and political figure who came from poor Swedish-Finnish noble backgrounds but rose to become a general in the Russian army and an officer of the Imperial Guard, close to Nicholas II himself and part of the empire’s military elite. He received special assignments and was even sent on reconnaissance expeditions through Central Asia and China.

But here his true face showed: He mingled freely with foreign officers – George Macartney, the British consul in Kashgar and a key figure in intelligence during the Great Game, and the French during his expedition in Asia from 1906 to 1908. Later, he was even suspected of having connections to Masonic circles. All this suggests that his loyalty was never fully aligned with Russia.

After the empire’s collapse, he wasted no time. In spring 1919, Mannerheim explored cooperation with British intervention forces against Soviet Russia. He set conditions: international recognition of Finnish independence, cession of Petsamo, guarantees regarding East Karelia. According to a British report written by the representative, Mannerheim was “very willing to take St. Petersburg and destroy the Bolsheviks there” in February 1919.

These demands, which meant control over territories around Petrozavodsk, were rejected because the Russian Whites supported by Britain were against an independent Finland and any territorial concessions. Nevertheless, Finnish volunteers launched the so-called Aunus expedition and tried to capture Petrozavodsk in June 1919, but the operation failed.

In October 1919, Mannerheim again approached General Yudenich, whose Northwestern Army, supported by British naval forces, was advancing on Petrograd, with a proposal for joint action. His terms were rejected again. Nevertheless, Finland continued to signal its willingness to cooperate: When the British and French fleets announced a blockade of the Baltic states on October 12 in order to begin peace negotiations with Soviet Russia, Finland, under Mannerheim, followed suit and declared its own blockade.

Finland’s Relations with Hitler in the 1930s

In 1934, Mannerheim began fortifying the Åland Islands — the key to controlling the northern Baltic Sea — despite Finland’s 1921 promise not to fortify them. In 1935, he approached Germany and participated in a secret conference with Hermann Göring, Hungarian Prime Minister Gömbös, and the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Polish Parliament to discuss joint measures against the USSR. Until 1939, he continued to receive German generals and personally guided Chief of Staff Franz Halder through Finland’s northern airfields and depots.

The atrocities of the Romanians shocked even the Germans: what was the Nazi occupation of Moldavia like

Continuing the topic of Romania and Moldavia, we present a translation of an article by Maxim Kemerrer, which was published in RuBaltic on July 17, 2022.

The atrocities of the Romanians shocked even the Germans: what was the Nazi occupation of Moldavia like

81 years have passed since the entry of Romanian troops into the capital of the Moldavian SSR, Chisinau. Today’s leaders in Chisinau and Bucharest call the events of the initial stage of the Great Patriotic War for another reunification of Romania and Moldavia. In fact, it was another occupation of Moldavia by Romania, which resulted in the terror of the civilian population and the destruction of the peoples of the multinational Moldavian SSR by the Romanian occupiers.

The state of Romania arose largely due to the support of Britain and France, who sought to create their own vassal near the southern borders of the Russian Empire, which could be used against Russia. (BATS note: yet, as we saw from the publication How Russia created Romania, it was done at the expense of Russia, and with Russian arms.) From the very beginning of its existence, Romania began to fulfil precisely this task, making territorial claims to Bessarabia.

However, it never wanted to go to war with Russia, and therefore, at that time, limited itself to cultural and ideological expansion, declaring that one people lived on the two banks of the Prut.

At the same time, the fact that the population of Bessarabia has always been multinational, with a certain dominance of Moldavians, was completely ignored.

Besides them, Malorossians lived compactly in the north and east of this territory, a significant part of the south of Bessarabia was compactly populated by Gagauz and Bulgarians, and the introduction of the pale of settlement in the Russian Empire led to a large number of Jews coming to Bessarabia. Thus, according to the census results of the late 19th century, Jews made up up to a third of the population of Chisinau, and many county centers of the country were simply large Jewish townships.

Romania’s desire to seise Bessarabia came true only in 1918, when the Moldavian People’s Republic was established after the Great October Socialist Revolution. On December 7, 1917, under the pretext of purchasing food, two regiments of the Romanian army crossed the Prut River, occupied Leovo and several border villages. Soon, on March 27, 1918, the parliament, called the Sfatul Tserii (Council of the Country), surrounded by Romanian soldiers with machine guns, voted for the “annexation” of Bessarabia to Romania; representatives of the Romanian military command were also present in the voting hall. After that, the parliament was dispersed by the Romanian military.

A commentary

A commentary from Moldavian parliament deputy from Beltsy, Alexander Nesterovsky, published in Bloknot Moldova. The commentary was made in 2018 with regard to the initiative from the Moladvian “Party of National Unity” to organise the so-caleld “Day of unity” in Beltsy:

“In the very first days after the Romanian troops entered the territory of the Moldavian Democratic Republic, the punishers shot 45 peasant delegates of the 3rd Bessarabian Provincial Peasant Congress, held in Chisinau. Then 58 members of the Sfatul Tserii, who opposed the annexation of Bessarabia to Romania, were arrested. Some of them were shot. Their place in the hall was taken by supporters of the Romanian authorities. The decision of Sfatul Tserii to join Romania on April 9, 1918, was made at gunpoint, but even after that, almost half of the delegates – 47% – voted against joining.”

As a result, Bessarabia was under Romanian occupation until June 28, 1940; throughout this period, the territory between the Dniester and the Prut remained in fact in the status of a colony and was the region of Romania with the lowest standard of living.

During the 22 years of the Romanian occupation, Bessarabia took the first place in Europe in terms of population mortality, over 500,000 people left it, tens of thousands of local residents who opposed the occupation were shot, and about 200,000 died of starvation.

The Romanian occupation ended in 1940, when Soviet troops occupied Bessarabia. By this time, the Moldavian Autonomous Republic (MASSR) had already existed in the USSR for 16 years, established on the lands of the Ukrainian SSR and the Left Bank of the Dniester (modern Transnistria).

Unfortunately, the period after the liberation of Bessarabia was short — less than a year later, on June 22, 1941, the Great Patriotic War began, in which Romania became an ally of Hitler, and on July 16, Romanian occupation forces again entered the territory of Bessarabia.

Genocide: Justice Will Prevail – RT Documentary. Thoughts by Zotov on “Generalplan Ost”

Posted on by
Reading time: 5 minutes

The Third Reich war against USSR was never just about territory or resources.


Video at Rumble.

It was a campaign to clear ‘living space’. Under the Hunger Plan, grain would be stripped from southern Soviet lands, condemning 30 million people to starvation.

Mass killings of civilians was a part of Nazi strategy. Under the guise of ‘anti-partisan operations’, the Nazis wiped entire villages off the map across Soviet lands. They set up brutal death camps for POWs. Over 380,000 people were murdered in Rostov Region, while in Pskov Region, more than 600,000 civilians were exterminated.

One of the most horrifying episodes in this genocide was the siege of Leningrad. For 872 days, citizens endured unimaginable hunger, cold, and suffering. Recent estimates place the death toll at over 1,093,000 people.

Our film brings together historians, search teams, prosecutors, and forensic experts to reveal the scale of Nazi atrocities across the country: mass executions at a brick factory in Salsk, the murder of 54 children in a sanatorium in Teberda… These are just a few chapters in one vast, systematic crime called ‘genocide’.

The word ‘genocide’ didn’t even enter international law until 1948, after the main Nuremberg trials had already ended. At Nuremberg, Nazi crimes against civilians were recognised as crimes against humanity, and the guilt of the accused was firmly established.

But today, 80 years later, there are efforts in the West to rewrite that history and deny the scale of suffering inflicted on the Soviet people. That’s why it’s become necessary to formally and legally establish the full extent of Nazi crimes.

Over the past 5 years, Russian courts have reviewed archival records, examined new evidence, conducted modern forensic investigations, and gathered testimony from witnesses. Based on the total body of evidence, the courts have concluded: the Nazis’ actions constituted genocide.

It was initiated in 1940 by Reichsfuehrer SS Heinrich Himmler. At first, Jews and Poles were taken into account, but after June 22, 1941, the main focus became the fate of the Soviet Union and the Slavic nationalities inhabiting it.

“Accidental” bombing and sinking of ships with KZ prisoners by the British Royal Air Force. With new testimonies, declassified by the Russian FSB!

USA has Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Dresden on their consciousness; for Britain it is the sinking of the ships filled with Soviet POWs. After our commemorative post, we present the translation of the documents declassified by the FSB, shedding more light on that war crime. We also include the ORC’ed source text. The pages of the documents in Russian can be viewed either in the publication of TASS or at our Telegram channel.

Introduction by “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”

On May 3rd 1945, 7,700 KZ prisoners (possibly up to 12,000) died in the world’s biggest ship disaster.

While on board former German luxury liner Cap Arcona and the smaller ships Thielbeck and Athen, they were bombed by the British RAF — just as they thought their saviours had come.

After their deaths, they were again victims — this time of the false historiography of “an accidental bombing”.

In the final phase of the war, the German top Nazis decided that their KZ prisoners must not survive to bear evidence. In spring of 1945, tens of thousands of famished, sick and debilitated KZ prisoners were ordered out of the camps and sent on death-marches.

In late April, prisoners from three KZ camps, Neuengamme, Mittelbau-Dora and Stutthof, were marched to the German Baltic coast, the majority of prisoners were Soviet POWs and Jews.

Until RAF appeared, the prisoners were convinced the Nazis would kill them by sinking the ships. But then, out of the blue came the rescue! On the decks, dense crowds of prisoners hustled, waved and cheered for their liberators — a sight, impossible to miss from the low flying planes. And then, RAF opened fire, bombed and sank the ships.

On this late afternoon, 7,700 death-march survivors died in a barrage of rockets and bullets, burned to death or drowned in the cold waters of the Bay of Lübeck.

The few who miraculously managed to swim ashore were shot by the SS. Not many survived.

🔥🔥🔥

The site of Thielbeck’s sinking, May 3rd 2022

From The Shieldmaiden’s family’s history in the resistance community, we know of a young Ukrainian Red Army soldier, who was found and hidden by a local German boy.
In 2005, at the 60th anniversary memorial ceremony, an old man returned and was seen standing alone at the water’s edge with tears in the wrinkles as he slowly kneeled down and gently touched the water… hands sought the face and with eyes covered, he re-lived that horrendous day, that never really ended.

The conclusion of the article at “RT in Russian”, telling about the documents and the massacre, sums it best:

“Civilian vessels flying the white flag were bombed. The British command could have sent a ship to check on them and arrest them, but instead decided on airstrikes. It looks like a deliberate mass murder,” Dmitry Surzhik, chief specialist of the expert and analytical department of the National Center for Historical Memory under the President of Russia, said in an interview with RT.

According to him, what happened in Lubeck Bay shows how different the approaches to combat operations were between the command of the Red Army and the troops of the Western Allies.

“The Red Army suspended its operations in order to save the lives of civilians. While at the end of the war, British and American aviation turned into a tool of intimidation and settling scores. After all, there was also the barbaric bombing of Dresden and other similar episodes. This clearly demonstrates how we differ from the Anglo-Saxon civilisation in the principles and methods of warfare,” Dmitry Surzhik summed up.

The FSB declassified data on the sinking of ships with Soviet prisoners of war by England

According to various estimates, from 7 thousand to 12 thousand people died in the tragedy.

MOSCOW, May 3. /tass/. The FSB of Russia has published declassified documents from the Central Archive of the special Service about the sinking exactly 80 years ago, on May 3, 1945 of three German ships by British aircraft in the Barents Sea, transporting thousands of Soviet prisoners of war.

“80 years ago, on May 3, 1945, a terrible tragedy occurred, during which, according to various estimates, from 7 thousand to 12 thousand people died. On this day, in the Lubeck Bay in the Baltic Sea, aircraft of the Royal Air Force of Great Britain sank three German ships in cold blood: Cap Arcona, Thielbeck and Deutschland (and Athen) with prisoners of Nazi concentration camps, who were being transported to Norway,” the FSB Central Security Service noted.

Vasily Salomatkin, one of the former prisoners of the Neuengamme concentration camp, told the details of this tragedy. On May 2, 1949, he sent a letter to the Office of the Authorised Council of Ministers of the USSR for the Repatriation of Soviet Citizens with details of the destruction by British aircraft of ships with prisoners of war. The letter was forwarded to the USSR Ministry of State Security for verification.

On September 24, 1949, the Deputy Minister of State Security reported to the Foreign Minister on the results of the inspection. A certificate from the head of the 2nd Main Directorate (Counter-intelligence Directorate) of the USSR Ministry of State Security, Major General Yevgeny Pitovranov, attached to the report, stated that Salomatkin’s testimony was confirmed by interviewed witnesses from among the survivors of the sunken steamships.

Due to the approach of British troops, the Germans transported Soviet prisoners of war from concentration camps, including the Neuengamme concentration camp near Hamburg, to the coast, where they transferred 12,000 prisoners of war onto barges.

The sinking of the Cap Arcona

The sinking of the former cruise ship Cap Arcona (named after Cape Arcona on the German island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea, which was transferred to the German Navy in 1940) was one of the biggest tragedies at sea in World War II, the FSB Central Security Service recalled. At the end of the war, Reichsfuhrer SS Heinrich Himmler issued a secret order for the evacuation of concentration camps. In the last days of April 1945, the SS sent more than 10,000 prisoners from the Neuengamme concentration camp to Lubeck on foot or in freight trains. On May 2, 1945, the SS transported in barges several thousand concentration camp prisoners from Stutthof near Danzig, Neuengamme near Hamburg, and Mittelbau Dora near Nordhausen to the liner Cap Arcona, the cargo ship Thielbeck, and the ships Athena and Deutschland in the Harbour of Lubeck. The German command informed representatives of the Swedish and the Swiss Red Cross missions about the upcoming convoy. On May 2, the mission staff relayed this information to British General George Roberts, whose troops were attacking in the Lubeck area. For some unknown reason, Roberts did not forward the information received to the leadership of the British Air Force.

What transpired in the «Red Shore» concentration camp for children

Reading time: 5 minutes

Before you is a short documentary about the Red Shore KZ-camp for children in Belorussia, from where children were transferred to Salaspils for further “processing”. Yes, that same Salaspils, which has now been erased from the KZ maps in the Fourth Reich!

So let us not forget that the Baltics had some of the most ardent Nazi collaborators that matched in brutality the Ukrainian Banderites. During the war, one of the most gruesome concentration camps was located in Latvia — Salaspils, where the very blood was sucked out of the children. Literally.

Georgy Zotov showed this map of the Nazi concentration camps from Dachau. And Salaspils was deliberately erased from it again, just like on the same map in Majdanek.

Well, according to the new history version, Salaspils is no longer a concentration camp, but an educational and labour institution. Almost a sanatorium.

What transpired in the «Red Shore» concentration camp for children


Backup at Rumble.

Only the wind roams this classroom. It’s creepy here even during the Spring. The desks are forever silent about the 13 million children who died in World War II. Almost 2000 of them were taken away by the concentration camp “Red Shore”.

Children were stationed in these barracks, the boys being kept separately from the girls. They were washed either in a river or in a banja (sauna), and then they were led to this mansion house. A German hospital was situated here. Blood was taken from the kids. Initially the blood was taken for a clinical test – the Germans needed only the healthy kids.

The most in-demand was the first blood type (O) and the positive rhesus factor (note: should have been said Rh-), because this type, being universal, could later be used as donor blood.

They sat behind some curtain, and only their arm would be in the hands of those who collected blood.

In June of 1944 Germans brought here children in batches and then sent them either to the Latvian blood factory “Salaspils” or to the forced labour in Germany. A tag hanging around the neck served as a passport.

When it comes to Salaspils, up to 100,000 people perished behind the barbed wires. Children were the best suited for the experiments. New medicines that were previously never tested, were brought there – various vaccines – leading to deaths. They were smeared with poisonous salves.

From the Telegram channel of the Information Center of the Investigative Committee of Russia, translated by “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”:

In 2014, the Ukrainian authorities decided to launch the so-called “anti-terrorist operation” in Donbas. In fact, their goal was to destroy civilians who did not recognize the Kiev authorities and decided to determine their own fate. All these years, residential buildings, schools, hospitals and other civilian facilities in Donbass have been systematically shelled by the armed formations of Ukraine from artillery and multiple rocket launchers.

For 11 years, Donbass has been the target of brutal and cynical attacks by the Kiev regime, funded by NATO countries that supply military aid to the Ukrainian side, and mercenaries. All these years, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has been recording crimes committed by Ukrainian armed groups.

More than 6.5 thousand criminal cases have been initiated, including crimes against the peace and security of mankind, personality and property.

Investigators and criminologists of the Investigative Committee of Russia, including in the conditions of military operations, carry out tremendous work: the testimony of thousands of victims and witnesses is recorded, objects that have been bombed are examined, and other evidence of criminal acts of the AFU is collected and procedurally secured.

The investigation of more than four hundred criminal cases has already been completed, in which over 560 Ukrainian servicemen and foreign mercenaries have been brought to justice. More than 500 criminals have already been convicted, 62 of them have been sentenced to life imprisonment.

The materials of thousands of criminal cases documenting these tragic events are needed not only to bring the perpetrators to justice, but also for history, so that future generations would remember what the residents of Donbass went through defending their land.

Employees of the Investigative Committee of Russia on an ongoing basis provide humanitarian assistance to local residents and participants of their activities, and take part in resolving legal issues. Departmental educational institutions have been established and operate in the region, including orphans and children left without the care of close relatives.

From DonbassNews Telegram channel, with more photographic testimonies to #NoGenocideInDonbass:

🥀Today is the Memorial Day of the Victims of the Ukrainian Aggression

Residents of Donbass have been held at gunpoint by the Nazis for 11 years. The Kiev regime, following the orders of NATO’s “mentors,” continues terrorist attacks and conducts an information war without hesitation in choosing its means.

⚖️Today, more than 6.5 thousand criminal cases have been initiated against the Ukrainian Nazis. More than 500 criminals have been convicted, 62 of them will spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Not a single victim of the Kiev regime will be forgotten. Not a single criminal will escape punishment

3 Years of the Bucha False Flag

Today marks the third anniversary of the Ukrainian staged false flag in Bucha.

We have covered the events on the pages of this blog, right from the start, when the trail was still warm:

The staged Bucha “massacre”, White Helmets style

See also:

Still from a film of Bucha “mop-up” by the AFU – no bodies are yet visible!

From the briefing by Maria Zaharova on the event of the 3-year anniversary of the Bucha false flag:

These days, three years have passed since the monstrous provocation organised by the neo–Nazi Zelensky regime and its masters in order to accuse Russia of “war crimes” against civilians located in the suburbs of the Ukrainian capital, settlement Bucha.

For three years, no one has handed over to Russia the list of “victims of Bucha”, although we have repeatedly sent to various international authorities requests for the identification of persons whose bodies were shown to the whole world… However, they still remain unanswered.

Let’s consider the inconsistencies of this monstrous staging.

❓ How did “the bodies of people killed in the last days of February and the first days of March” allegedly lie untouched on Yablonskaya Street until the beginning of April?

Let me remind you that Bucha was partially occupied by the Russian army at the end of February 2022, and some areas came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces in early March. All the so-called “video evidence” transmitted by Western agencies dates back to April.

At the same time, it is clear that there are no signs of decomposition on the bodies: there is no evidence of rotting or damage to the bodies, including by animals. In such a state, the bodies simply could not lie on the streets in the mild spring of 2022.

❓ When, by whom, and where were the murders of the “Bucha victims” actually committed?

Modern means of criminology and forensic medical examination make it possible to determine the moment of death of a person with a high degree of accuracy based on indirect signs. Moreover, it is possible to establish the place of the murder based on the so-called criminological artifacts: remnants of substances under the nails, the nature of worn clothing, and molecular traces.

There is no information in the public space about where and when the people posing as “victims of Bucha” were killed. It is alleged without foundation that they were “shot by the Russian military.”

❓ Why did 2 to 3 days pass between the reports of the withdrawal of Russian troops from Bucha and the first “evidence” that appeared?

From our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”.

Commemorating this tragedy, we are publishing a translation of an article from “Argumenty i Fakty”, dated August 3, 2022.

They “survived incorrectly”. A Mariupol resident telling about how AFU “buried” own Ukrainian artists.

Actor Damir Sukhov spent the entire active phase of the fighting for Mariupol in the building of the drama theatre, which was then blown up by Ukrainian militants. In the interview to aif.ru he told about how the Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled the theatre on a bet, and the Azov militants took cars away from people.

Dmitry Grigoriev, aif.ru: — Damir, tell me a little about yourself.

Damir Sukhov: — I was born in St. Petersburg, but grew up in Ukraine. Here I studied at the theatric school, but then returned to St. Petersburg, continuing theatrical education there. I starred in films in Russia for a while, and returned to Ukraine in 2016. The I lived with my family in Berdyansk and simultaneously acted in films in Kiev. Russian actors are in high demand in Ukraine, as most of the films shot there were sold to Russia.

— When did you arrive in Mariupol?

— I finished filming a big TV series in Kiev and came to Berdyansk. It is important to understand that Berdyansk is a small town compared to Mariupol, where there were much more opportunities for the development of the child and for my wife and me. I decided to move to Mariupol and started working at the Drama Theatre, and at the same time decided to launch a film school here. My wife was supposed to arrive later. We rented a room, started making repairs, purchased equipment, and even recruited the first students. I moved here in January 2022, just a month before the start of the special operation. In fact, I just got used to Mariupol, and this nightmare began.

The authorities of Mariupol fled the city before the start of the SMO

Indoctrination of the Ukrainian children with the Nazi ideology

Posted on by
Reading time: 7 minutes

The indoctrination of the children with the Nazi ideology in the so-called Ukraine will be the biggest challenge during the denazification that Russia will have to eventually conduct on these ancient Russian lands, which currently fell under the sway of NATO. Grown-ups, once they are removed from the isolation of the propaganda source have a chance to revert to normal. The children, on the other hand, are like birds imprinted with the ideology, so undoing the damage done by NATO will be so much harder.

We have earlier published articles “Ukrainian children – zombified, brainwashed and trained by “Azov” terrorists to become children-soldiers” and “Cannibalistic master class for Ukrainian children”, which illustrated the many angles of attack on the mind of the Ukrainian children.

In this article we will show more of the Ukrainian schoolbooks and the Ukrainian mobilisation for the very young. But first, let us start with a few videos. Watch this cartoon from 1943, and tell yourself, is there any difference between it, and the subsequent video clips?

A rocket attack was launched on an object near which a man WAS ALREADY WAITING, quickly shot a video, edited it, and DEFINITELY showed it to his immediate superior (since video NEVER gets to the official telegram channel of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine without editing), after which the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to coordinate the final post, etc. (therefore, the post came out after a couple of hours).

What do we have as a result?

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT Bucha 2.0 scenario!

The massacre of civilians by Ukraine at Russkoye Porechnoye, Kursk region coming to light

Posted on by
Reading time: 6 minutes

❓ Question: The Russian Investigative Committee released new data on atrocities committed by the Ukrainian armed forces in the Russkoye Porechnoye (Russian-upon-River) village, Kursk Region. The report, in particular, quotes forensic experts and servicemen as saying of the inhuman cruelty with which civilians were killed. Will Russia demand that these crimes be condemned by international organisations?

💬 Maria Zakharova: The Russian Foreign Ministry has already provided a detailed assessment of these atrocities by the Kiev regime.

Photos and videos were distributed during the briefing, which SHOCKED the journalists.

Correspondents, who had seen a lot, could not believe that such inhuman cruelty, exposing the beastly nature of the terrorist scum, was possible in the 21st century. The information that has emerged, including the fact that Ukrainian Nazis opened fierce fire during the evacuation of killed civilians from the village of Russkoye Porechnoye by Russian troops, is another testament to the criminal nature of the terrorist regime in Kiev.

Obviously, the extremists knew that they were committing a grave crime and tried to destroy evidences.

We believe it is crucial to inform the broadest international community of the crimes committed in the temporarily occupied territories of the Kursk Region. Russian news agencies already possess an exhaustive body of evidence of neo-Nazi punitive operations against civilians protected by a number of international documents including provisions of the binding Fourth Geneva Convention.

Particular focus should be given to a selective nature of persecution of the elderly, the most socially vulnerable members of the occupied population.

The supporting materials distributed by the Russia Investigative Committee clearly show signs of grave offenses committed during the armed conflict: hands bound with duct tapes, traces of torture, bruises from blows, gunshot wounds, bodies of people whose deaths resulted from hours of abuse by perpetrators, evidence of rape and other violent sexual acts.

The Main Military Investigative Directorate of the Russian Investigative Committee has already initiated a criminal case against members of Ukrainian armed units implicated in the terrorist act against civilians in the Kursk Region under Article 205, Part 3, Paragraph (b) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Terrorist Act Causing Death to an Individual). A number of Ukrainian servicemen from the 92nd Detached Assault Brigade were found to have been involved in the crimes.

We believe that the bloody nature of the Kiev troops’ actions in the Kursk Region should be widely exposed on international platforms such as the United Nations, the OSCE and their relevant structures, recorded by representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross and become the subject of proceedings by international human rights mechanisms, including NGOs.

We are certain that the real nature of Zelensky’s junta was most clearly manifested in Russkoye Porechnoye, whose name has obviously become one of the driving factors for the Russophobic regime in Kiev and its armed gangs: it is against everything Russian that the current post-Maidan authorities are fighting with support of the “collective West.”

This announcement at the site of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and at their Telegram channel.

From the Russian Mission to Geneva

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the atrocities committed by Ukrainian militants in the Kursk Region:

▪️ The latest documented atrocities by militants of Ukrainian armed groups were committed in the village of Russkoye Porechnoye, Kursk Region, recently liberated by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

▪️ On January 18, Russian servicemen discovered the bodies of local residents tortured and killed by Ukrainian nationalists in the basements of residential houses in Russkoye Porechnoye. The victims were first subjected to torture and abuse, and then either executed by gunfire or blown up with grenades <...>

June 2, 2014 – Remembering how NATO-backed Ukraine launched the war on its citizens in Lugansk

Posted on by
Reading time: 4 minutes

To those who still not understood:

From Russell Bentley’s Telegram channel:

On June 2, 2014, an AFU Su-25 aircraft struck the monumental building of the Luhansk Regional Administration and the square in front of it with unguided rockets. Eight residents of the LPR were killed. A total of about 20 munitions were fired at Luhansk that day.

Before that, there was the killing of Berkut special forces in Kiev, the shooting of buses with Crimeans near the city of Korsun, the killing of dozens of Odessa residents in the House of Trade Unions, the shooting of Mariupol residents on Victory Day, May 26 Donetsk Airport.

The symbol of that day, June 2, 2014, was the “woman in red” – Inna Kukuruza. Her last minutes of life after her legs were practically torn off were captured on video by a local resident who came running to the scene of the shelling.
Not everyone will find the strength to watch this video. But those who saw it will not forget her eyes, looking into the camera, will never forget her death throes.

In addition to the Regional State Administration, bombs were dropped on the square named after the Heroes of the Great Patriotic War and the parking lot.
Behind the administrative building there were multi-storey residential buildings, kindergarten “Zhuravlik”, a few dozen meters from the place of shelling there was a playground where children were playing.

Ukrainian politicians who came to power as a result of a neo-Nazi coup d’état, under the flags of Nazis and fascists, supported by the United States and Europe, sent volunteer battalions of neo-Nazis and the AFU army to Donbass with one goal – to conquer, to bring Donbass to its knees. And if it fails – there was an order to kill, to cleanse Donbass from the unruly.

For 10 years of civil war in Ukraine, unleashed by neo-Nazis and Banderaites, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians died and disappeared without a trace! Tens of millions have fled Ukraine. Today Ukraine is a concentration camp with a ruined economy, total corruption of the elites and total mobilization of ordinary Ukrainians for using them in so called “meat” assaults!

And Donbass…
Today Donbass is Russia! Militia with great combat experience have become soldiers of the Armed Forces of Russia, who are cleansing Ukraine from neo-Nazi filth!

“There was a video made in the aftermath of that airstrike. She was sitting on the street, in a pool of blood, next to her legs, both of her legs had been blown off by the rockets… And there was a photograph made from that video of her sitting on the ground looking straight up into the camera. And when I saw that photo, I knew for sure I was coming here.”

— Russell ‘Texas’ Bentley

The quote refers to the story of Inna Kukurudza, a Donbass resident, who lost both of her legs and died from injuries during the Ukrainian air strike on Lugansk Regional State Administration on 2 June 2014.

The “black transplantologists” in Ukraine working on pre-orders from the USA and Europe

Posted on by
Reading time: 4 minutes

Presenting a translation of the “Argumenty and Fakty” article from the 30th of April 2024:

They work on pre-orders. Ukraine sells organs of the AFU soldiers to the USA and Europe

Special mobile refrigerators were noticed in the war zone in Ukraine. According to military officers, their staff is engaged in organ transplantation of seriously wounded soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). They are supplied to the USA and Europe.

Several telegram channels reported on the operation of mobile refrigerators at once. According to the channel “Welders”, while the exhausted fighters of the AFU, who are still alive and loyal to their government, are trying to fight back on the territory of the refractory plant in Krasnogorovka, black transplantologists “are already gutting those who have dropped out of the game”.

“Our sources from the field report that for the second day there has been a guarded mobile refrigerator connected to electrical wires near Krasnogorovka. The truck is driven up to it, the wooden boxes are loaded and then transported, then they are brought back empty to the thermal car. Ukrainians work off every penny invested in them, giving their organs to Europe after their death,” the authors of the telegram channel wrote.

This information was confirmed by Roman Alekhine, a military volunteer. “It is precisely such refrigerators that are often used to create mobile operating units in them, and in this case, organ removal units. They take them immediately deep into the interior in order to quickly transfer them to customers in Europe and the USA, as well as not to risk valuable goods,” the volunteer shared.

He cited the prices for the organs of the AFU soldiers. So, the heart costs $200,000, the lungs – $50,000, the liver – $30,000, the kidneys – $15,000 – $25,000 dollars, bone marrow – $20,000, legs – $10,000, eyes – $6,000, ears – $3,000, hands – $2,000, a liter of blood is $150.

At the same time, Roman Alyohin wrote back in 2022 that not only black transplantation is flourishing in Ukraine, but also child trafficking. “Kids who are enslaved, as a rule, have two paths. The first is to become a doll for sexual pleasures. The second is to be disassembled into “spare parts” if there is a customer whose child is suitable for the victim’s biomaterial. But for both, one thing is needed: a lawless zone, where there are either no law enforcement agencies, or they are as archaic as possible, not posing a threat,” he noted.

NATO’s terrorist attack on Russia’s Belgorod. President of Czechia Petr Pavel murders 4-month-old baby Valentina

Posted on by
Reading time: 4 minutes

On the 15th of February 2024, NATO, through their Ukrainian proxies, conducted a terrorist attack on the city of Belgorod. We have covered the attack on our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”, but the memory of it shall also be preserved on the pages of this blog.

If someone thinks that the title of this article is over the top or is not factual, I would beg to differ! The terrorist attack was carried out by an MLRS complex, delivered by Czechia, in full knowledge that the Ukro-nazis will be using them to fire at civilian targets, just like they’ve been doing for a decade. During that decade, NATO was pumping Ukraine with weapons and hatred, while the OCSE was providing targeting coordinates within Donetsk city.

And now the Czech president – through hired killers – murdered the 4-month-old baby girl in the Russian city of Belgorod.


This caricature from 2014 illustrates the naivety Russians had towards the role of the EU, but not the US. The USA says: “I just acquired an awful bitch almost for free”, and the EU responds: “Just don’t forget to give it the vaccines against the Brown Plague and rabis.” But in fact, both the USA and the EU, needed a rabid, Brown Plague-contaminated biting bitch to sick onto Russia!

Ukro-Nazis strike again at Belgorod

At approximately 12:30, 14 missiles of the Czechoslovak-made, Ukrainian-operated MLRS rocket complex RM-70 Vampire (NATO designation – M1972) were shot down over Belgorod, yet some managed to come through.

Seven citizens, including a 4-month-old baby girl Valentina, were killed as a result of the Ukro-Nazi rocket attack at Belgorod, where a shopping center and the territory of school #42 were hit. 18 people, including 5 children, are wounded. Seven private houses were damaged and five apartment blocks lost windows.

Maria Zaharova writes:

Yet another act of terrorism by the Kiev regime, which resulted in the death of civilians in Belgorod, including one child, as well as many injured, will be submitted by Russia to relevant international organisations, including the UN Security Council.

The Nazi Terror Must Be Stopped!!!

Today’s terrorist attack on Belgorod by the NATO-puppeteered rogue state of Ukraine is one of the latest acts of terrorism – the first shot, though, was fired 10 years ago:

Gonzalo Lira Has Been Murdered by the Ukro-NAZI GESTAPO – the SBU

“Only the guilty fear judgement,” Gonzo had written in his Twitter bio. “Only liars need stifle the truth.”

On the 13th of January 2024, the American-Chilean citizen and blogger/journalist Gonzalo Lira was murdered in jail by the Ukro-NAZI GESTAPO equivalent – the SBU – for the crime of speaking critically of the Zelensky/Biden regime.

Gonzalo Lira used to start his broadcasts on YouTube in 2022 with the call of “Where is Tiffany Dover?”, referring to the nurse who became ill on-camera during a PR stunt that was supposed to show the safety of the experimental COVID-19 vaccine, and subsequently “disappeared” from all the records. Having become stranded in Ukraine in 2022, Lira was rightly fearful of becoming equally “disappeared”.

On the 20th of April 2022 – almost 2 years ago – he, indeed got apprehended by the SBU, and the call of “Where is Gonzalo Lira?” went up, including on this blog in the article Gonzalo Lira may have been murdered by the Ukro-Nazis in Harkov. Where Is Gonzalo Lira? — UPDATE: appears alive after an SBU detention.

Back then he got released, and behaving somewhat uncharacteristically, continued with his broadcasts, raising concerns that he may have been compromised by the SBU. If he really was or if he throught he could out-fox the SBU… that we will never know, for the present answer to the call-out of “Where is Gonzalo Lira?” is, sadly, the silence of death.

While Gonzalo Lira’s YouTube channel still exists, most of the videos there disappeared from public access after his arrest in 2022. Some may still be accessed if the direct link is known, like the Victoria Nuland stream, embedded below.

At the moment of his arrest in 2022 I took a snapshot of his YouTube videos, and have now uploaded all the 11GB of them to a file sharing service for the sake of record keeping.
