They Have Seen Diablo and Mordor

Alyona Yakhno – Ukrainian journalist

This is exactly how the main church of Mordor (the Main Cathedral of the Armed Forces) looks like. An appropriate colour expression. And if you add the Ball of Woland as a soundtrack, the harmony would be perfect.

El Murid – Anatoly Nesmiyan, a Russian blogger, who writes about geopolitical issues but often writes complete nonsense

At first I thought those are screenshots of the interiors in the Diablo game. But no, it has proved to be completely normal. This is the celebration of Eastern in the main temple of Shoigu (Russia’s defence minister). This military cult gathering place should look precisely like this on this celebration of light.

I don’t know what beef El Murid has with the Russian military, and quite frankly do not want to know. However, I have been to many dark churches in my life, across the Orthodox World. In the Holy Land, in Georgia, in Constantinople, and in Russia as well, and I wonder how they celebrate the Easter there?

Ivan Yakovina – Ukrainian blogger, who is just as full of shit as Mr. El Murid Nesmiyan.

Vladimir Putin celebrates Eastern in the main church of the Russian military, where Hitler’s hat is being kept. (yes, the place also includes a museum) The second picture is the opening of the portal in the game Diablo. Find 10 differences. Everyone laughed at Shaman Gabyshev but he was proven right.

Yes, portal to hell and schizophrenic Gabyshev will lead to peremoha for Ukraine. However, the reality of the church is likely much less mordoresque than cheap Ukrainian propagandists and other assorted idiots would have you believe…

This dear readers is how many Russophobic memes are being created. Recently I came across many Ukrainian accounts trying to give off a Bulgarian Romani ghetto as a reality of life in Russia. Mind you, you are wasting your life if you are getting information from any such sources…

Sberbank and Mail.ru Blacklist South Front After US Sanctions

Not that I read the South Front often but given US sanctions against some Russian news outlets made me more interested in them. Banned information is welcome on this blog…

But what I read made me certain Sberbank is evil, and I actually now know the reason why I feel revulsion at seeing their commercial here in the Czech Republic. There are more Sberbanks in the Czech Republic than in Crimea.

I quote from South Front:

In early May, accounts of SouthFront Team registered on Russian state-funded donation platforms were blocked. This hostile act was undertaken by subsidiaries of Mail.ru Group. The major shareholder in Mail.ru Group is Russia’s state-owned bank Sberbank (Sberbank of Russia). This banking and financial services company is the largest one in Russia.

Russia is under attack, and the sooner Russia deals with the likes of Sberbank, the better for Russia. As for Sberbank in the Czech Republic, I really hope they are met with the basic Russophobia of the locals, and will close shop…

Ukraine Will Not Become a Member of the EU or NATO any Time Soon

Despite the wish of Ukraine to become a member of the EU and NATO being enshrined in the country’s constitution, the fulfillment of this wish may be further than some may hope…

It is unfortunate for the Svidomites, but 7 years after the signing of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU, Ukraine is still not a candidate for membership. At the recent visit of US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken to Kiev it became apparent the US gave a cold shoulder to Ukraine’s NATO aspirations. Rumor has it, Victoria Nuland told Zelensky to cool it with his NATO aspirations. Ukraine gets the same reaction from the EU. Ukrainian officials demand fruitlessly guarantees by the EU that Ukraine will one day become a member of the EU, and the EU does not give any such guarantees.

I may have mentioned it before on this blog but Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia are not targets of the EU expansion. Ukraine’s, Moldova’s, and Georgia’s situation is however further compounded by territorial disputes. It is clear that these disputes prevent the ascension to NATO for these countries but little less obvious is that these disputes prevent Ukraine from joining the EU as well.

And while, Transnistria does not have an armed conflict, and Abkhazia, and South Ossetia are quiet too, we hear almost every month about casualties in the Donbas. Donbas has a small intensity war. And while the other frozen conflicts can be mediated through the UN before the country ascends to the EU, see the case of Cyprus, the conflict in the Donbas would first have to calm down if Ukraine is to ever seriously consider an EU ascension.

Ukraine has a wretched economy. It is literally the extreme East of Europe and it closed its door to Eurasia. This does not bode well for any economic development. It is said Ukraine will reach economic parity with Poland in 40 years. Ukraine even lags behind any of the current candidates for EU membership. Economically, the Russian Federation has more chance of becoming a member of the EU than Ukraine.

Also consider that the Kiev regime is unwilling to fulfil its obligations under the Minsk Agreements. The current strategy of Kiev is to get the US, UK and Canada on board of the Minsk group. The continental guarantors of the treaties, that is Russia, France, and Germany would hardly find a common ground on this, and quite frankly affairs here on the continent should be delegated to continental powers.

The internal conflict, the bad economic configuration, the unwillingness of Kiev to resolve the conflict in Donbas, and the expansion plans of the EU, all postpone the Ukrainian ascension to the EU by many decades. The EU may even disintegrate before Ukraine even manages to become a candidate for membership, Ukraine may disintegrate too. The Ukrainian politicians should stop using the EU and NATO as their ideological mantra because the goals are improbable.

Poppycock

After the victorious Maidan, then president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko introduced a new tradition in connection with the Victory Day, which is on the level of Prince Philip cargo cults somewhere in the Pacific. They started to wear poppies, and Zelensky seems to continue this “tradition”.

British readers may be familiar with poppy wearing because it is worn to commemorate the fallen in the First World War in UK. The Ukrainian poppy is worn on 8 May, the day victory in the Second World War is celebrated in the West. The Victory Day is celebrated on the 9 in Russia and was celebrated on the 9 in Ukraine too until recently.

Or rather it is worn by government flunkies because by far not everyone has accepted this new idiocy and some mean individuals have even called it “ochko bandery“ – Bandera’s anus…

The Two Challenges of Ukraine

Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken identified two challenges of Ukraine…

“Ukraine faces twin challenges — aggression from outside coming from Russia, and in effect, aggression from within coming from corruption, oligarchs and others who are putting their interests ahead of those of the Ukrainian people,”

The problem is, Ukraine was created as a country for the oligarchs and by the oligarchs. If Ukraine was a country by the people and for the people, it would be a federation and would be friendly to Russia.

Maniacs, the Cult of Killers

This is some hardcore!!!

In my post about the Facebook ban on a Russian news story that reported about the Ukrainian connections of the recent series of arrests of Neonazis across Russia, I have only remotely touched upon the identity of the group in question because back then my information on it was rather disorganized. Here is what I have gathered so far…

Basically, the group that is the target of the FSB arrests is called MANIACS, THE CULT OF KILLERS, and it was founded by certain Egor Krasnov, native of Dnipro, Ukraine. This young gentleman apparently attended several Azov battalion summer camps as a youth, and had violent proclivities. Eventually, he found joy in the killing of the homeless, alcoholics, junkies etc. However, he also shared his exploits with likeminded individuals online, on Telegram and on Dark Net, and enticed them to do the same and record their deeds on camera to be shared by the community. He was able to build a considerable following throughout the CIS.

Krasnov was an adherent of the white supremacists ideology, which he likely apprehended in the Azov camp but he himself said the Azov was too mainstream for his tastes. He harboured hatred towards those that were darker than is the usual Ukrainian phenotype. It is said he has assaulted an Iranian student with a knife, which alerted the authorities to his activities and he was taken under arrest.

EGOR KRASNOV “Our goal is a racially pure state”

After his arrest, the content of his social media properties change a bit. While under Krasnov’s management the main topic revolved around killings of lowlives and filming it, the content after his arrest contains instructions on how to make bombs, commit arson, and what is more interesting anti-government rhetoric, and the necessity to kill cops. Reports have it, the group arrested in Voronezh were also part of local pro-Navalny groups and gave instructions on how to behave during protests, especially how to fight the police.

It seems that the SBU (Ukrainian secret service) has captured Krasnov’s social media accounts and was managing them, or alternatively curated Krasnov’s activity.

Why the Chinese Social Credit is Actually Better Than American Society 282

Not that we haven’t seen this before…

The American right-wing commentator and activist, Nick Fuentes was deplatformed from a variety of services and put on a no-fly list. Fuentes still has Twitter to tell us about it…

Therefore, you can basically be treated like a criminal for supporting Donald Trump in contemporary America. Say hello to one party state in all but name.

Well, I think the Chinese system is actually better than these waves of woke hysteria in the Society 282 as Egor Kholmogorov called it after the article 282 of the Russian penal codex that related to hate speech and extremism. The Chinese social credit actually gives you clear blueprint on how to become a good citizen. I do not want to defend that system, I personally think totalitarian states are prone to abuse, and I am fine with the weak state of the Czechs but if given the choice now, I would choose China to live instead of US. The American and by extension Western system of values is still indefinite, you never know which protected group your speech crosses, you also do not expect that in a democratic society supporting a legitimate political force will lead to persecution.

We live in liminal times and the West is unfortunately moving in a really unhealthy direction.

Apple Music 100 Ukraine

Made me feel old…

I went through the whole playlist and haven’t heard the Ukrainian language once. And this sort of proves one of the central thesis of this blog, and that is Russian is the dominant language in Ukraine. It dominates the charts on Spotify too.

Meanwhile though, the Ukrainian language is propped up by the government through quotas on radio and the television. Maybe they should send a delegation to California, or wherever these companies are based, and tell them to practice some affirmative action. We need to speak the language Americans will understand. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian authorities have also banned the rapper Morgenshtern from coming to Ukraine.

Now Morgenshtern is a controversial figure. The Russian conservatives would like to see him removed from public space. I understand that his music is degenerate but look around, the world around you is degenerate. Meanwhile in Ukraine, this article even calls Morgenshtern an element of Russian soft power. I think Morgenshtern must be laughing his socks off at what is happening. Evil Russians have found some Bashkir degenerate to plant seeds of doom in Ukraine. LMAO

And Morgenshtern truly is an influential cultural product. I personally found out about Morgenshtern through a Czech girl I dated, who was 15 years my junior. Now you may say, but Leoš, isn’t Apple Music and Spotify for wealthy urbanite hipsters, and the usual Ukrainian does not have access to it because he has no money? Yes but the cool kids have it, and poor kids want to be cool too. So I think the charts are a good reflection of what the people want to listen to.

The Massacre of Odessa

I am glad there are people in my country, who know the truth. I have discovered a wonderful text on a Czech blog of which I provide a translation:

At a time when our country is in the grips of an affair that will write itself into the annals of Czech history as the provocation of Vrbětice, it is easy to overlook an anniversary of the massacre of Odessa, which shook the civilised World seven years ago. Amazingly, in the same year when the foundations of the current (Czech) theatre were laid.

Let us make a summary of the facts. It is May 2014, in Odessa on the Kulikovo pole, in front of the House of the Trade Unions, there is a tent city, where the people are protesting in favour of federalisation of Ukraine. They are unsure that Kiev’s policy accords with their idea of living with the Russians. Simultaneously, just by chance, there is a football match held in the city, which was attended by a horde of scum, just like everywhere in the World. (my note: in fact, the neonazi scum was drawn into the city over several weeks and this was just a reinforcement). To mix provocateurs into such a crowd was not hard. And at this moment there begins a False Flag Operation, which already went so well in Kiev (my note: the author means the still unexplained shootings at late Maidan). Some commando with St. George’s Ribbons begins to shoot at the crowd and the first people fall dead that evening. The mob is livid and a clash soon begins. Suddenly, St. George’s Ribbons disappear and a commando with Yellow & Blue Ribbons appears. Some mean people say that the attackers just changed the ribbons but that is just a speculations. The fact is that the St. George’s Ribbons suddenly disappeared.

After the sudden disappearance of the commando, the mob overwhelmed its opponents and drove them to Kulikovo Pole, where the supporters of federalisation had their camp. The enraged mob chased all the Moskals (the pejorative name used for Ukrainian Russians, my note: actually all Russians) and a massacre that we cannot well imagine in our civilised age began. I am not a sadist, however, anyone interested can find photos and testimonies that will make your stomach churn. Although this material is heavily censored. I will forever remember an image of a pregnant woman with a spread out legs on a table. I do not even want to imagine what she must have suffered before she died. In the building there were many people with a burned upper part of the body, it suggests they were set alight and suffocated from the fumes. Reports of rape and lynching have leaked out into the public soon after. Several tens of people have died.

Kiev brushed everything under a rug. Not paying attention to the fact of burned corpses, they said the victims died because of few molotov cocktails thrown into the windows. No mention of murders, rape, setting people alight and beating those that jumped out of the windows to death. Even Czech Television, the media that cares so much about Navalny does not want to investigate this. As if nothing happened. Therefore, we can just watch how the Kiev government does not want to prosecute the perpetrators of this mass murder, and simultaneously, the witnesses are mysteriously disappearing. At the same time, we are witnessing the worship of the war criminal Bandera, celebrations of the liberation of Ukraine by the Wehrmacht and other historical manipulations that would disgust any normal man. All this is accompanied by cheerful moaning of the media in presumably democratic countries that did not notice the massacre of Odessa but they are fervently feeding the plebs with a fairy tale about clumsy Russian agents.

Ukraine is the future battlefield between Russia and the West. Many young Ukrainians do not want to become cannon fodder and leave the country in droves in hope they will return one day when peace reigns. We can only hope that the plans of the jarheads only stay at yapping over the fence. I just do not believe that while we are yapping, we should so categorically adopt the viewpoint of this or that side. Because sometimes it so happens that the small dogs get sacrificed when two big dogs are fighting. As if we (Czechs) do not have experience of this. It is a shame that we are not behaving more like the Austrians. Ok, a bankrupt Westinghouse will build the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant, and we can close the factories that export to Russia if our big brother wills it. However, nobody can convince that the West is out in pursuit of truth and love. (my note: a slogan of Václav Havel used sarcastically for the woke segment of the Czech public, who are also the main critics of Russia). The business here is about resources and money.

If the West really wanted justice, this massacre would be investigated as an act of genocide.

PS: Tomorrow, the National Corps, the civilian wing of the neonazi Azov battalion will hold a march celebrating the massacre in Odessa.

I am so Glad I am not on Facebook Anymore, Facebook Censorship is Disgusting

Guess what dear viewers, Facebook censored people who shared a photo of a man throwing a sieg heil at a neonazi demonstration held several days ago in Kiev, featured in this post, so says Anatoly Shariy…

I don’t have any reason to disbelieve Anatoly because, as was mentioned on this blog, neonazis moderate Facebook in Ukraine. Imagine I would still have a profile on Facebook and I would share my posts from this blog? It wouldn’t be safe, and I could be blocked. The people that shared this photo thought the public deserves to know but that I guess that goes against community standards. And I will add that this multi billion company is morally bankrupt, and you are better off not using it.
