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”.

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

Reading time: 14 minutes

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

Reading time: 15 minutes

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.

Reading time: 8 minutes

Dmitry, an admin of a friendly channel, undertook a fundamental taks, compiling a list of 57 agreements, concluded between Germany and various states in the years leading up to and during World War II. The chronological list covers the period 1934 – 1941

Of special note are the Anti-Comintern Pact and the Munich Agreement (Conspiracy). The former defined the agenda of Fascism, while the latter paved the way to the direction of Germany’s aggression eastward.

Those readers who came to think of the agreement between Germany and the USSR — the only agreement that got named in the Western historiography by the names of the political figures signing it — it is found further down on the list as No.16.

1. Polish-German Non-Aggression Pact – January 26, 1934

– A ten-year Non-Aggression pact between Nazi Germany and the Second Polish Republic.

2. Anglo-German Naval Agreement – June 18, 1935

– An agreement between the United Kingdom and Germany regulating the size of the Kriegsmarine in relation to the Royal Navy.

3. Italian-German Axis declaration – October 25, 1936

– The first step towards the formation of the Axis Powers, consisting of Italy and Germany.

4. Anti-Comintern Pact – November 25, 1936

– The anti-communist pact between Germany and Japan, which Italy and several other countries later joined. Directed against the Communist Internationale, the international revolutionary political-practical organisation to which the communist parties of most of the world belonged, and with them strong workers’ unions factions.

Here’s Czechoslovakia. Now, head to the East!
The pre-war caricature on the Munich conspiracy by “Kukryniksy”.

5. Munich Agreement – September 29, 1938

– Britain and France permitted Germany to take over part of Czechoslovakia (the Sudetenland). The “Munich Conspiracy”, as it is also known, freed Hitler’s hands and is considered to be the final trigger for World War II.

6. First Vienna Award – November 2, 1938

– Germany and Italy mediated the allocation of disputed territories from Czechoslovakia to Hungary.

The Third Reich was defeated by the Americans. Stalin bears equal blame for unleashing World War II alongside Hitler. Soldiers of the Red Army committed atrocities across Europe.

All of this is a blatant lie that is presented as truth in the West. On International Fact-Checking Day, we debunk the main myths propagated in Europe and the United States.

👉 Watch both episodes of the film ‘World War II. Lies of the West’ below. This is a project of the ‘Immortal Regiment of Russia’ by Tatiana Borsh.

‘World War II: Lies of the West’ is a project by the Immortal Regiment of Russia. The documentary exposes the main myths about World War II that are propagated in the West, where they are regarded as the only historical truth.

Among these myths are claims that it was not the Soviet people who played a decisive role in the victory, but the Anglo-American allies, and that Stalin was supposedly equally responsible for igniting the war alongside the Hitler regime.

However, there are real documents and irrefutable evidence demonstrating how Western countries distort history to serve their own interests.

The film’s creator, Tatiana Borshch, is a well-known producer, screenwriter, and director of documentary films, as well as the winner of both Russian and international film festivals.

In part 2


Backup at Rumble.

Military experts and historians continue to debunk Western myths about World War II – the claim that the USSR was just as responsible as Germany for starting the war, for example.

In reality, the situation was quite different. The Soviet Union wanted to protect Czechoslovakia from a Nazi invasion, but in order to do this, the Red Army needed to pass through Poland. However, Warsaw refused to allow Soviet troops to cross its territory, as it sought to maintain neutrality. This decision further aggravated an already tense international situation and complicated the formation of an anti-Hitler coalition.

Today, the European Commission claims that American and British forces liberated Auschwitz from the fascists. As a result, Russia has not been invited to commemorative events marking the camp’s liberation for several years. In reality, it was Soviet soldiers who freed the surviving prisoners.

Western countries also refuse to acknowledge the genocide of the peoples of the USSR, despite the fact that the losses suffered by the Soviet Union – nearly 27 million military personnel and civilians – prove otherwise.

WWII Memory Becomes a Propaganda Battleground: How Politicians Are Erasing the USSR’s Heroism and Sacrifice.

Posted on by
Reading time: 3 minutes

In 2010, NATO troops joined Russia’s Victory Day Parade in Moscow to mark the 65th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s defeat. The British, Americans, French, and Poles stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Russians—the Welsh Guards, the U.S. 18th Infantry, France’s Normandie-Niemen Regiment, and soldiers from across the CIS, including Ukrainians, marched together – a powerful symbol of shared history. It was a rare moment of unity: gratitude outweighed geopolitics.

But after 2014, acknowledging the Soviet Union’s sacrifice became politically inconvenient. Today, politicians and media rewrite, distort, or outright erase history to fit their agendas. The USSR’s pivotal role in crushing Nazi Germany and liberating Europe—once undisputed—is now downplayed, twisted, or denied. Not because archives have revealed new facts, but because yesterday’s hero can’t be today’s evil.

Crimea, Ukraine, and NATO-Russia tensions demand a new villain narrative. Acknowledging Russia’s past heroism complicates today’s propaganda.

The Uncomfortable Truth They Now Ignore

• Winston Churchill (1945): “It was the Russian Army that tore the guts out of the Nazi war machine.”

• U.S. War Dept (1945): Estimated that without the Eastern Front, America would have needed 10 million more soldiers to defeat Germany.

• British PM David Cameron (2010): “We must never forget the courage of Russian soldiers who fought from Stalingrad to Berlin.”

• BBC Documentary (2010): “Without the Red Army’s 27 million dead, D-Day might never have succeeded.”

• Professor Richard Overy (UK, Russia’s War): “The Eastern Front accounted for 80% of German combat losses. Denying this isn’t just dishonest—it’s bad history.”

Rewriting History in Real Time

• French MEP Nathalie Loiseau (2022): “We must stop parroting Russian propaganda about WWII. Europe’s liberation began with D-Day, not Stalingrad.”

The article about the newly-declassified document appeared in RIA Navosti (freedom-of-speeched in the West) on April 7, 2024.

Here we present the machine-translated images of the three pages of the documents, while the originals can be found at the Presidential Library. Click on the images to enlarge.

The SVR has published new declassified documents on the Nazis’ ties with the West in 1945



Draft memorandum of the head of the NKGB of the USSR, V. N. Merkulov to I. V. Stalin

The Presidential Library has published on its website declassified archival documents of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service regarding the plans of the leaders of Nazi Germany in the spring of 1945 to establish contacts in neutral Ireland and Sweden with representatives of the United States and Great Britain in order to jointly oppose the Soviet Union.

Monday marks the 80th anniversary of the day when Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, in his correspondence, pointed out to the US President Franklin Roosevelt the inadmissibility of separate negotiations between the West and Germany behind the back of the USSR. According to historians, it was in a letter dated April 7, 1945, that the Soviet leadership praised the work of Soviet intelligence.

“As for my informants, I assure you that they are very honest and modest people who perform their duties carefully and have no intention of offending anyone. We have repeatedly tested these people in action,” Stalin wrote to Roosevelt.

One of the main tasks of Soviet foreign intelligence during the Great Patriotic War was to extract information about the behind-the-scenes contacts of the leadership of Nazi Germany with the West regarding their possible truce.

Debunking fake news: The Russian Armed Forces deliberately hit the civilian population of the city of Sumy with Iskander missiles.

Posted on by
Reading time: 8 minutes

The way the Western politicians like Ursula van der Lying spun the events in Sumy requires a record-keeping article. It is namely not dissimilar to the false flags of the Kramatorsk bombing and the Mariupol Drama Theatre bombing, only this time the Western modern Goebbelses took the unfortunate turn of events and exaggerated it, spun it, adding a large dose of projection. For if the US-EU-NATO leaders are to start talking about attacks on civilian population, they first must take a hard long look in the mirror. Both for the 11 years of the genocide of the Donbass population, happening with the US-EU-NATO approval and financing, for the bombing of Yugoslavia, Iraq, Lybia, Vietnam…. the list of where the West targeted the civilians first is very, very long!

Here, we publish several materials from Telegram channels.

Statement from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Yesterday, the Russian Armed Forces launched two Iskander-M operational-tactical missiles in conditions of heavy electronic warfare countermeasures and foreign-made air defence systems in action to hit the site in Sumy where commanding officers of the Seversk task force had a meeting. More than 60 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been eliminated.

▪️ The Kiev regime continues to use the Ukrainian population as a human shield by deploying military facilities and carrying out activities involving servicemen in the centre of the densely populated city.

War On Fakes reports:

The fact: The strike with two high-precision Iskander-M missiles was carried out on the congress center of Sumy University, where the awarding of the Ukrainian soldiers and officers took place. The Electronic Warfare equipment installed there was able to deflect one of the missiles. The second missile hit the target exactly. Thus the Ukrainian army once again put its own civilian population at risk. Human shield tactics have been used by the Ukrainian armed forces since the beginning of the conflict.

The presence of the military on the territory of the congress center is also proved by the vehicles caught on the Ukrainian media’s footage. For example, they show several army pickup trucks, including those with a tactical sign (triangle). The Ukrainian military units exactly with such tactical signs invaded the Kursk region in August 2024. The concentration of vehicles of this type is uncharacteristic for urban conditions. Also on the video in the first minutes after the explosion hit the Ukrainian military.

The fact of the ceremony of awarding the military was confirmed by a member of the Verkhovna Rada, Maryana Bezuglaya:

“Appeal to Syrsky and separately to the commander of the TRO: do not gather the military for the awarding, and especially in civilian cities – again, the Russians had information about the accumulation. And on the ranges are still building up…”.

This information was confirmed by the mayor of the Ukrainian city of Konotop Artem Semenikhin, as well as the former deputy commander of the terrorist battalion Azov – Igor Mosiychuk.

Ukrainian propaganda led by Zelenskyy is trying to use the incident to demonize Russia and attempt to disrupt negotiations between Moscow and Washington.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview for the No Statute of Limitations: The Front without a Frontline project, Moscow, March 30, 2025

Posted on by
Reading time: 5 minutes

A reblog of the interview, published on the site of Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Question: Mr Lavrov, could you please explain why there are attempts today to downplay or even completely deny the role of the Red Army and the Soviet people in the victory over Nazism?

Sergey Lavrov: It is a traditional position of the West to seek to weaken its competitors. Europeans dominated for about 500 years, primarily because they sought to conquer as much land as possible and enslave as many people as possible. Essentially, all of humanity’s tragedies that occurred before 1939, including World War II, were triggered by Europeans. From colonialism, slavery, and the Turkish wars, to the First and Second World Wars, these were all attempts by various powers in Europe to suppress their competitors.

In fact, there is nothing new about competition. People and states have always competed with each other. But the methods used by Europe to suppress its competitors were horrendous. These instincts are deeply ingrained in today’s European society, particularly in the elites currently in power in most EU and NATO countries. Although there is growing opposition against such actions, these policies still persist.

The instincts of the ruling class in Europe are clearly evident in what is happening in Ukraine – the war that the West has unleashed against the Russian Federation, using the Kiev regime as its proxy and paving the way for its juggernaut with the bodies of Ukrainians. Just like Napoleon mobilised almost all of Europe during the Patriotic War of 1812, and Hitler, after conquering most of Europe, put the French, Spaniards, and a large part of the continent’s countries under arms, this is also happening now. The French conducted punitive operations, and the Spanish participated in the blockade of Leningrad. This is a well-known fact.

Therefore, we can see even today that almost all of Western Europe has been mobilised to try to prolong the existence of the Nazi Zelensky regime. Just like during Hitler’s era, this is being done under Nazi flags, with SS Totenkopf chevrons, etc, and so on.

If we were to honestly describe the West’s contribution to the development of humanity, we would get an unseemly picture. That is why they are attempting to whitewash their actions and the actions of their predecessors. It’s no coincidence that the rehabilitation of Nazism is becoming one of the cornerstones of the West’s position in international discussions. At least, they vote against the resolution that the Russian Federation, along with its allies, submits annually to the UN General Assembly. This resolution calls for preventing the glorification of Nazism and similar racist practices.

They cynically try to insert amendments into this resolution, equating Russia’s actions – liberating people from Nazi oppression during the special military operation – with Nazism. But these attempts have not been successful, and I am confident that they will not succeed.

“Bussification”, or the snatching of people off the streets in Ukraine

Initially published on March 7, 2025; extended on March 21, 2025.

“Forced mobilisation” in Ukraine will go down in textbooks as genocide of the Ukrainian people.
— Russian FM spokeswoman Maria Zaharova

🙈 Suddenly the West started seeing

From our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldnmaiden”.

The term “Bussification” is a neologism that appeared 1.5 years ago in Ukraine to denote the forced “conscription”, when people are grabbed off the streets, pushed into busses, and are driven off to the front. It became the Ukrainian word of the year in 2024.

1.5 years after the start of mass bussification*, videos where the Ukrainians are snatched and sent for meat began to enjoy great popularity among the Americans, who suddenly began to show them on mainstream channels, although just a few years ago this topic was actually tabooed and labeled as “Russian propaganda”.

Now, the barriers have fallen and the stream of videos with the cannibals has flooded into American social networks.

From the point of view of information warfare, it is important to pump up American social networks in the coming weeks with such videos, and you don’t even need to invent anything here — such content is pouring out of Ukraine every day with dozens of videos per day.

To the brave Ukrainians who, despite the prohibitions and threats, are filming all this — your efforts were not in vain, you are beginning to be heard in the West. Shoot more, show more, fight against the snatchers — the chances of being heard are increasing now.

Source: Colonel Cassad

👉 One such channel with a lot of videos of the snatchers at work is called just that: Bussification.

‼️ We have created a “short” video, running at “just” 1 hour and 30 minutes, comprised of a little over 100 episodes of bussification. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We are sure that if used all video clips that can be found on various Ukrainian telegram channels, there would be enough material for over 24 hours of this. And even that would be just a small fraction of totality, as not all episodes get recorded on camera – in fear of reprisals.

Nothing changes in Fascism!

In 1943, after the defeat at Stalingrad, propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels cried for “Total War” and “Total Mobilisation”.

Here, Adolf Hitler is “vacuuming” the streets of Germany in search of fresh soldiers, as so aptly depicted by the Soviet artist Boris Yefimov.

The non-elected puppet Führer of Ukraine, Volodomyr Zelensky, is now doing the same thing 80 years later to provide fresh cannon fodder for his western masters.

Macron’s belligerent talk, Russian MFA’s sharp reply, and the lesson of the “civil” war from 1918

Posted on by
Reading time: 8 minutes

Macron recently decided to play the role of one of the riders of Apocalypse and delivered a very belligerent speech, which drew a shap response from the Russian Foreign Ministry, which we reblog in full below.

But first, to the events of 1918, when another, similar crusade against Russia was started by the West. The same fratricidal “civil war” as we see now in Ukraine, where Russians are killing Russians.

The material is from our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”.

On March 6, 1918, an English landing force landed in the port of Murmansk from the cruiser “Glory”. The open military intervention by the Entente of Russia began.

On March 14, the British cruiser “Cochrane” arrived in Murmansk with a new detachment of interventionists.

March 18 – French cruiser “Admiral Ob”.

The Americans joined later: on May 27, the American cruiser “Olympia” entered the Murmansk port, from which a detachment of American infantry soon disembarked.

The topic of foreign intervention against Soviet Russia in 1918-21 has been completely cast out of sight, completely “blurred”, and sometimes even disputed. There is practically no mention of it in the modern media.

This intentionally or unintentionally creates the myth of the Civil War as a war exclusively between “Whites” and “Reds.” Which is obviously a manipulation.

So, shall we remember who supported the “Whites” against the “Reds” with their manpower and equipment?

1. 🇬🇧 England. 28,000 soldiers – Arkhangelsk (1918), Murmansk (1918), the Baltic (1918), Revel (1919), Narva (1919), the Black Sea (1920), Sevastopol (1920), the Caspian Sea (1920), Transcaucasia (1918), Vladivostok (1918).
2. 🇺🇸 USA. 15,000 soldiers. – Arkhangelsk (1918), Murmansk (1918), Trans-Siberian Railway
3. 🇫🇷 France – Arkhangelsk (1918), Murmansk (1918), Odessa (1918), Kherson (1918), Sevastopol (1918), Siberia.
4. 🇦🇺 Australia – 4,000 soldiers. Arkhangelsk (1918), Murmansk (1918).
5. 🇨🇦 Canada – Arkhangelsk (1918). Murmansk (1918).
6. 🇮🇹 Italy – Murmansk, Far East.
7. 🇬🇷 Greece – 2,000 soldiers. Odessa, the Black Sea.
8. 🇷🇴 Romania – Bessarabia.
9. 🇵🇱 Poland – The North of Russia, the South, Siberia.
10. 🇯🇵 Japan. 28,000 soldiers – Far East (Vladivostok, Sakhalin)
11. 🇨🇳 China – Arkhangelsk (1918), Murmansk (1918).
12. 🇷🇸 Serbia – “Serbian Battalion”. The North of Russia.
13. 🇫🇮 Finland – Karelia. The Karelian and Murmansk legions, created by the 🇬🇧 British.
14. 🇩🇪 Germany. Ukraine, the Baltic States, part of European Russia
15. 🇦🇹🇭🇺 Austria-Hungary. (Germany’s ally)
16. 🇹🇷 Turkey (the Ottoman Empire). Transcaucasia.

🇨🇿 We can also recall the Czechoslovak Corps, which became the trigger of the Civil War.

In total, more than 20 countries took up arms directly or indirectly against the young Soviet Republic. Do not forget that the “Whites” were also fully funded by the Entente.

It was no accident that Stalin was saying, “The so-called Civil War”.

What do English, French, coming with war against us, want?

— A “Civil war” flyer by the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic, 1918.

THEY SEIZED the road to Murmansk, the entire coast of the White Sea, Onega Lake, Arkhangelsk.
THERE WERE TRAITORS who helped them.
The peaceful population was shelled with GUNS from the cruisers — for what, what have we done to them?
ASK THE WORKERS OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE: WORKERS-BROTHERS, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
They will say WE WANT PEACE, WE hate WAR, but we still don’t have the strength to overthrow those who send us to the slaughter!
And what do you want, king, president, lords and dukes, merchants, bankers, landowners of America, England, France, Japan?
— Ha ha ha! What do we want? WE WANT TO DEVOUR YOU, we want to take over your forests in the north, as well as harbours, your roads.
WE WANT flax and hemp, forest and bread, everything your country is rich in, copper and iron, lead, silver, platinum, gold — WE WANT to capture IT ALL.
WHAT DO WE WANT? — these gentlemen will say, we want to capture both the North, the Volga, the Urals, and Caucases. We need your oil sources, your mines, your fishing grounds, we’ll take everything!
WHAT DO WE WANT? — they will say WE WANT TO PUT ON YOUR NECK THE TSAR, because in our country, King George is a relative of Romanov, because our bourgeoisie is relatives of yours, and our landlords are relatives of yours.
You have overthrown the NOBILITY, and WE WILL AGAIN PUT THEM ON YOUR NECK.
You overthrew the landowner, and we’ll put him on your neck again.
Do you want to live a free independent life? And we’re thrusting you back into slavery.

Foreign Ministry Statement regarding French President Emmanuel Macron’s speech

In the run-up to the EU summit dedicated to Ukraine crisis and confrontation with Russia, and clearly trying to set the tone for the upcoming gathering, French President Macron made an extremely aggressive anti-Russia speech calling our country, as he did on multiple previous occasions, a “threat to France and Europe.” Without providing any evidence, as he usually does, he accused our country of all the deadly sins from cyber attacks and interference in elections to our alleged plans to attack other countries in Europe.

We have heard him come up with similar fabrications and provocative claims before as well. Perhaps, this was the first time he laid them out in such an intense and irreconcilable manner which made them sound like a catechism for the Russophobic action programme.

Notably, the French leader has repeatedly made public his plans to call President Putin on the telephone to discuss ways to achieve peaceful settlement in Ukraine and to ensure security in Europe. The Russian side has always been open to discuss these matters. However, Macron, this time again, confined himself to clamorous public rhetoric.

The French President is trying hard to convince the French citizens of an “existential threat” coming from Russia. In fact, Russia has never threatened France, but, instead, helped it defend its independence and sovereignty in two world wars. However, Macron’s statements, in fact, pose a threat to Russia.

This is probably the strongest condemnation of the “civilised West” to date. Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at a UNSC Briefing on Ukraine is available in English at the site of the “Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the UN”. Video in Russian is available at their Telegram channel.

Before reading on, do watch the following three short videos:

Main statement:

Mr. President,

We thank Roger Waters for his statement with an analysis of the history of the Ukrainian crisis and assessments of the significance of the Minsk agreements with regard to the relevant diplomatic efforts.

Today marks ten years since the adoption of UNSC resolution 2202, which endorsed the “Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements”. Having thus expressed its support for the solutions that had been found in Minsk a few days prior, the Council took the implementation of these agreements under its supervision. We all hoped then that a long-term and lasting peace would finally come, but all hopes of ours were fated to fail. Moreover, today the very word-combination “Minsk agreements” has become something of a diplomatic euphemism replacing the words “failure” or “lie”. We believe that our Security Council has every reason to analyze why this happened and why peace in the east of Ukraine never came after that.

First of all, let me briefly recall that the 13 points of the Package of Measures unambiguously defined the sequence of concrete steps to normalize the situation in Ukraine and bring Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics (LNR and DNR) back to Ukraine’s fold. The last of these steps was to restore Kiev’s control over the State border in the east of the country. For this to happen, the Ukrainian leadership needed to undertake a number of measures geared towards granting the LNR and the DNR broader autonomy and protecting the identity of the Russian-speaking population.

Enemies of World Peace

From our post at “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden” Telegram channel

The fragment of the literary work that you are about to read is best illustrated by this caricature, drawn by the art collective “Kukryniksy”, which appeared in issue №01 of the Soviet satirical magazine “Krokodil” in 1952.

It came out under the title “From the series «Enemies of Peace»” or “From the series «Enemies of the World»” — both meanings are possible in Russian, and are, in fact, intended by the authors.

On the wall, we see the portraits of the old Krupp, Morgan, Rockefeller and Ford, who financed and profiteered from World War II.

Below are “The Masters, sitting from left to right: Krupp, Rotschild, Lady Astor, Dupont, Rockefeller, Mellon, Ford, Harriman”, their grubby hands raking in the blood money of the past and future war profits.

Back in 1952 it was still remembered who financed the Third Reich, even though these perpetrators did not appear before the Nuremberg Trial. And only now, in the recent years, is it being talked and written of again, as in Dmitry Medvedev’s article “How the Anglo-Saxons Promoted Fascism in the 20th Century and Revived It in the 21st”.

📖 A reflection from the book by Eduardo Galeano “Mirrors: Stories of Almost Everyone”:

“Love Me Do”

Adolf Hitler’s friends have lousy memories, but the Nazi enterprise would not have been possible without their help.

Like his colleagues Mussolini and Franco, Hitler got approval early on from the Catholic Church.

Hugo Boss dressed his troops.

Bertelsmann published the training manuals for his officers.

His airplanes flew thanks to fuel from Standard Oil, and his soldiers traveled in Ford trucks and jeeps.

The maker of those vehicles and author of The International Jew, Henry Ford, was his muse. Hitler thanked him with a medal.

He also decorated the president of IBM, the company that made it possible to track and identify Jews.

The Rockefeller Foundation financed Nazi medicine’s racial and racist research.

Joe Kennedy, father of the president, was the U.S. ambassador in London, but might as well have been the German one. And Prescott Bush, father and grandfather of presidents, was an associate of Fritz Thyssen, who used his fortune to further Hitler’s cause.

Deutsche Bank financed the construction of the concentration camp at Auschwitz.

IG Farben, the giant chemical conglomerate, which later on changed its name to Bayer, BASF, and Hoechst, used concentration camp prisoners as guinea pigs and workers. These slave laborers made everything, even the gas that killed them.

The prisoners also worked for other companies, like Krupp, Thyssen, Siemens, VARTA, Bosch, Daimler-Benz, Volkswagen, and BMW, which provided an economic foundation for the Nazi madness.

Swiss banks made a killing buying the gold jewelry and teeth of Hitler’s victims. The gold crossed the border with astonishing ease, while the gates remained hermetically sealed to flesh and blood trying to escape.

Coca-Cola came up with Fanta for the German market smack in the middle of the war. During that period, Unilever, Westinghouse, and General Electric also boosted their investments and profits in the country. When the war ended, ITT received a multimillion-dollar settlement for damages to its factories in Germany caused by Allied bombing.

‼️ The Ukrainian special services, with the assistance of their Western curators, are preparing to carry out a series of high-profile anti-Russian provocations, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service said.

It is planned to undermine a foreign vessel in the Baltic Sea with Russian-made mines, and blame Russia.

According to calculations by Ukrainian and Western intelligence agencies, such an action will push NATO to close Russia’s access to the Baltic Sea.

Yeltsin Centre as a magnet for the liberal dregs of society, with Nina Hrusheva as an example

To get a feel of what legacy Yeltsin left behind, and what kind of people get attracted to it, we published several posts at out Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”, using one specific case as an example, and commenting along the way.

The country must know its antiheroes

Yeltsin Centre in Yekaterinburg invited a patented russophobe Nina Hrusheva — the great-granddaughter of Nikita Hrushev. Yes, the very same who got the top position in the USSR in exchange for the unconstitutional transfer of Crimea to UkSSR, the same who black-paintes Stalin and his legacy, the same who initiated the future dismemberment of the USSR.

Nina Hrusheva, a citizen of the USA, was to present her book «Nikita Hrushev. A Leader Outside of the System.»

Getting ahead, it was announced that Hrusheva’s visit was cancelled «for technical reasons». And good riddance!

We shall talk about Yeltsin Centre in a different post. Now, let’s take a closer look at Nina Hrusheva… UralLIVE reports:

Nikita Khrushchev’s great-granddaughter went crazy and betrayed her motherland

On November 26, a speech by Nina Hrushcheva, professor at the New School University in New York, was announced at the Yeltsin Center. She is the great-granddaughter of Nikita Khrushchev, through whose fault Crimea became part of the Ukrainian SSR.
