Read the article linked above. The author has provided a fine context to this project and I felt like it would stealing somebody else’s work if I quoted him here.
Russia has been quite ahead with this digitalization of the public sphere. Above are Yandex delivery bots. CBDCs like the digital ruble will be a tool of control. All your purchases will be tracked. The currency will be programmable. Therefore, a welfare recipient wouldn’t be able to buy booze and cigarettes with it. Facial recognition technology will allow you to make purchases automatically. The only employee of shops will be security until robots take the place of the latter.
Kiev is the perennial hostage of Moscow’s imperial ambitions.
Moscow, since a long time, constructs its ideological foundation on the connection to historical Rus’, creating a narrative that the capital of Ukraine – Kiev (as the center of Rus, and essentially Rus) is its fundamental component. This imagining supports not only the mythical but also ideological concept of Moscow being the “Third Rome” which determines its status on the world stage.
Without Ukraine, Russia loses not only mythical historical legitimacy but also its symbolic connection with its imperial legacy, which makes the existence of empire impossible in the traditional sense. At the same time, attitude to other colonies once within the Russian Empire and the USSR is completely different.
11 January 1918, the People’s Commissar Soviet, headed by Lenin, recognized the independence of “Turkish Armenia”…

I love this borscht composed of outdated ideological concepts and anal phobias of the Russophobes. Let’s analyze them. Ukrainians actually think Russia is illegitimately called Russia, and the classic concept of Russian history from the Kievan period to the Moscow period is somehow wrong. They actually think Ukraine is something ancient, which it isn’t. Strangely enough, contemporary Russia was totally OK about Ukraine being Ukraine. Ukraine however turned out to be an anti-Russia. Ukrainian nation building is basically an exercise in the rejection of Russianness. Ukrainian nationalism glorifies traitors like Mazepa and celebrates anything anti-Russian. Therefore, the Russians stuck to the conception that was common and the Ukrainians try to torpedo it.
The Third Rome has to do with the Rurikids being related to the last ruling dynasty of Byzantium, the Porphyrogenites. The Grand Price adopted the title Tsar, and claimed to be the continuator of Rome after Byzantium. In the Middle Ages, this was nothing uncommon. Nobody outside Russia really cared about Moscow’s claim. And I don’t see anyone bringing it up now. This is Ukrop anus anguish.
Russia is not an Empire without Ukraine is a trope brought to us by Zbigniew Brzezinski, who had smelly Polack rectal sensitivities over Ukraine and Russia. Indeed, Putler needs Ukraine because he wants to crown himself emperor of the Third Rome. 😆 You know some people say Russia already is an Empire without Ukraine and needs decolonization.
I also see another ass bleeding in the text above. The other Soviet republics were not colonies of Russia. Without the USSR’s good will, there would probably not be places like Kazakhstan or Azerbaijan. Ukraine would probably would not exist as we know it without Soviet Ukrainksation. Ukrs never cut the USSR any slack. Instead, they adopted the post-colonial discourse from Western universities.
“Western Armenia” the issue was dealt with by Yosif Stalin. The territories which we are talking about were occupied by the Russian army during WWI, and were supported by local separatist movements. In this case, these were Ottoman territories, which made their recognition a matter of temporary tactical courtesy than a strategic choice.
The Bolshevik approach to the national question in the beginning of the twentieth century was pragmatic. The recognition of Polish, Finish independence, and the independence of many others was not motivated by a genuine support for the right of nations for determination but rather by political expediency. In the case of Poland, this direction was already marked by the Interim Government and the Bolsheviks did not see a reason to correct it. Finland because of its political maturity and readiness to resist also found itself outside the orbit of the Bolsheviks.
However, Ukraine always had a special meaning for Moscow. Its historical role in the formation of the Russian state, its natural resource potential, make it impossible for Moscow to see it…
***
Finland got independence pretty much with the abolition monarchy in Russia. It existed as a land governed by Nicholas II, not as Russia proper. It had its own laws, its own parliament etc. Poland’s rights have been curtailed after several Polish uprisings in nineteenth century but it existed in the shadows, and the Russians never considered it to be part of Russia.
Vladimir Lenin was completely pro-Ukrainian and he viewed Ukraine as an unfortunate victim of Russian imperialism, and deserving of independence. Lenin even acquiesced to the Brest-Litovsk accords and allowed the occupation of Ukraine by the Central Powers. He betrayed his fellow Communists in Donetsk-Krivoy Rog Republic. However, the civil war in Ukraine was very much a fight between local Bolsheviks and the Ukrainian People’s Republic under Hrushevsky and Petlyura. Contemporary Russia was also cool with Ukraine until it became anti-Russia in 2014.
Hence, having anal pains over Russian attitude towards Ukraine is kinda misplaced. Not so long ago, Ukraine was Russia, and the Ukrainians were Russians. Hence the Russians are only reacting to the teleological development of the Ukrainian project into anti-Russia. The Russians have very little issue with friendly and brotherly Ukraine, and accept its existence.
…as a region that can be divided from the empire. A complete, organic, national identity of the Ukrainians that is developing separately from the imperial “Russian” completely undermines the foundations of the “Third Rome”. This is why Moscow’s propaganda machine is building narratives about the “triune nation” and “historical commonality”, categorically denying the right of Rus Ukraine to its separate history and independent future.
If we compare this approach with the acknowledgment of the independence of the “Turkish Armenia”, we need to point out that this territory has never been part of the internal core of Moscow, and its strategic importance was only within the frame of a temporary military-political context. The recognition of independence had the character of a diplomatic move and not the reflection of an imperial necessity.
An important factor is also how Moscow uses historical myths. In the case of Ukraine the basis is formed by the mythical “Old Rus”, which is said to be the source of the Russian statehood. At the same time in the case of other territories there aren’t these deep symbolic connections. That means that the destiny of “Turkish Armenia” or even…

The author refers to Russian historical concepts as myths but talks about so called “Rus Ukraine”. Rus Ukraine is a concept invented by Ukrainian nationalists to link Old Rus history to Ukrainian reality of today. Ukraine however was referred to as Rus, or Russia Minor not so long ago, and the name Ukraine was adopted for the nationalist project under the influence of the poems of Taras Shevchenko, and with support of the Austrian government, somewhere in late nineteenth century. The name was originally used in the context of Shevchenko’s home region in the Central Dnieper region. The Austrians were actually interested in changing the identity of its own subjects
If it wasn’t for failure of Russia in the Great War, this bullshit conception wouldn’t ever succeed, and poison the minds of people into the twenty first century. Ukrainians need anti-Russian mythology to justify their very existence. If faced with reality instead of their propaganda, they become Russians. The former minister, Dmytro Tabachnyk and the writer Oles Buzyna were Russians although they were more Ukrainian than many Ukrnazis. Russianness is high culture, Ukrainism is militant provincialism.
…such important regions such as Poland or Finland, would be decided depending on the current situation, while Ukraine was always at the centre of imperial ambitions. Today’s discourse of Moscow demonstrates lack of change in this approach. In the conditions of today’s World, where empires do not have the same legitimacy as before, Moscow continues to cling to the past, preserving the illusion of historical right to control over Ukraine. However, the historical paradoxes show that if a country tries harder to hold on to what was lost the faster it loses its future.

I personally believe that much like Lenin accepted the occupation of Ukraine by Central Powers, the current Russian Federation did accept the loss of Ukraine in the nineties. But given the similarities between the two countries, and a strong Russian element within Ukraine, the countries were bound to come together. Much like the Ukrainian Bolsheviks came to accept Moscow, the Russian Federation found willing collaborationists in contemporary Ukraine. Particularly in Donbas and Crimea. It is not that Russia will lose Ukraine but that Ukraine and Russia are natural allies, and to this conception is opposed Ukrainian nationalism that not just asserts that Ukraine is not Russia but also that Ukraine belongs to another civilization and is antagonistic to Russia.
I personally think contemporary Russia never had any wish to claim the entire Ukraine. They never committed the resources, or did any actions that would suggest that. It could come to that if the Ukrainian resistance in Eastern Ukraine collapses but in that case, I still cannot see Russia occupying the entirety of Ukraine. In my opinion they should subjugate the entirety of Ukraine.
They literally included this AI picture of an Asian guy with a cross.
Vlad Bokhan is a Belarusian activist that trolls Russian schools by pretending to be from the United Russian Party and making the former do various silly things. He claims it is to reveal how Fascist Russia is according to the definition of Fascism by Umberto Eco, which in my option is too broad, and amounts to leftist anal pains but whatever…
I think Vlad is aiming too high with this Fascism thing but his pranks are really funny…
The fact that the teachers did not recognize Bandera proves what I have said many times. The Russians in general do not care about Ukraine. Ukrainians and Belarusians care about Russia.
He made teachers pray to icons of Stepan Bandera and Svetlana Snezhko, the latter is a judge that declared his Telegram channel extremist in Belarus. Let me demonstrate Vlad’s extremism:
After successfully pranking a school, he replied to the fooled teachers Slava Ukrayine, singed Ebanaya Rossiya. (Latter means fucking Russia, instead of Edinaya Rossiya meaning United Russia, the party) Slava Ukrayine is literally Fascism as by Umberto Eco. It is the worship of ancestors, it is followed by Heroyim Slava, and the heroes are Ukrainian nationalists that adopted this slogan in 1939, at a conference in Rome, in Fascist Italy. 😝
And saying fucking Russia is Russophobia and Russophobia should carry the capital punishment in my opinion but I digress, the reaction came after a successful prank called “Work Liberates” taken from Arbeit Macht Frei, the slogan on the entrance to Auschwitz.
One might hate Russia but look at the new school they have there. These new schools were all built under Putin, and that’s why the latter is so popular.
Belarusian prankster, Vlad Bokhan, easily convinced teachers at the school in Klin to join an action with the slogan “One people, one nation, one ruler” as a part of a program of the United Russia campaign “Work liberates.”
Both phrases were slogans of the Nazis during WWII (the phrase “work liberates” was posted over the entrance to Auschwitz for instance). The word ruler corresponds to “fuehrer”.
The school has sent the prankster an account in the form of several photographs thinking he is a representative of United Russia.
“This is not a prank, this is an action that reveals the terrible and absurd irony that is happening around us.” -said the prankster.
Vlad also managed to convince teachers in Komsomolsk on Amur to create a list of students to be sent to the camps… Territorial military patriotic camps…
He also, again from the name of United Russia, made teachers in Orlov join an action called “Russian run“, the point was that the participants choose themselves where they would be running.
He recorded the above video to call the teachers to run… The run that they sent him however I found unimpressive.
More funny was his recent stunt. He literally made the teachers in Voronezh wear tinfoil hats. Tinfoil hats that would protect them from enemies abroad.
😆
The last one went viral and brought my attention to Vlad.
My assessment, public schools, especially in the provinces are bastions of conformism, stupidity, and ignorance. This is not just a problem of Russia. Everywhere schools are invaded by faggots, here in the West quite literally. This shit is funny but I would like to see him prank some school in Moscow, and have men in the pictures. It is mostly (if not exclusively) women in the pictures, and women are notoriously conformist and not very bright.
Dear European, English but also American farmers, your government hates you…
Your animals are making the world worse they are saying. Your farming methods are wrong they are saying. Your tractors are not net zero. You have to pay for your sins against the planet 🌍 and climate.
The Communist government of UK decided to undo family farms with inheritance taxes. I have calculated that my heirs will have to pay the British state £150k after I go to Satan in Hell. I am not sure where they would get this money from. I might have about a third. BTC needs to rise to 10 million. Single mothers and Mohamed in the asylum center need to eat.
But there is a way out, sell your farm, and buy another in Russia. 🇷🇺 I ain’t kidding. Russia does not practice this green shit and does not have inheritance taxes.
Google suppresses a lot of information, for instance, YouTube never offered me the Trump-Joe Rogan interview and I had to search for it myself. Remember, they don’t want another Trump situation at Google.
If you search Google for anything these days, the first page of the results will be sponsored links. Anyway, I believe YouTube and Google are on their way to get banned in Russia. You don’t need YouTube, ban that shit and develop your own platforms! Russian YouTube is not monetized, that means Russian budget gets fuck all from the time Russian people spend on it.
Russia’s largest data center operator BitRiver has partnered with the Russian Direct Investment Fund to build mining and AI computing facilities across BRICS nations.
***
“We will focus on creating a mining-based infrastructure – building data centers and connecting them to necessary power sources to enable AI project deployment and development across the country,” said BitRiver CEO Igor Runets according to the announcement.

The companies cite a global shortage of energy-intensive data center capacity as a key driver for expansion. The initiative aligns with Russia’s push to strengthen its position as the world’s second-largest crypto mining market after the United States.
Little did wannabe warlord and catering magnate Yevgeny Prigozhin realize his short-lived mutiny would result in his demise, leaving behind a legacy—and admirers—far beyond Russia’s borders, particularly in China, where Prigozhin has become a cult figure on closely monitored social media.
Prigozhin’s following among top military bloggers on Weibo, one of the largest social media platforms in China, mirrors that in Russia. From Moscow to Beijing, Prigozhin is seen as the embodiment of a more vigorous and genuine patriotism, a man who prioritized the motherland’s interests over his own life. He is celebrated as a man of the people, despite the wealth he generated from the Wagner Group’s operations.
His blunt criticism of Russia’s top military leaders bolstered his image as a truth-teller willing to risk his life. This resonated in China, where a purge of top military officials in the People’s Liberation Army is underway due to accusations of corruption and of betraying the ideals of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Amid rising tension between Beijing and Washington, many Chinese military bloggers suspect U.S. involvement in Prigozhin’s death, despite there being no evidence of this. A poll on Weibo, limited to 1,000 respondents, showed a majority asserting that the United States orchestrated Prigozhin’s plane crash to incite civil war in Russia. A smaller number of voters pointed the finger at Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that allowing Prigozhin to walk away unpunished could set a dangerous precedent.
Prigozhin according to my information never opposed Putin, and he could have been assassinated by somebody in the Russian government that he had beef with, and against whom he mutinied. Who that was I don’t know…
2 weeks ago, Apple deleted almost 100 VPN, today independent media. Current Time and Radio Liberty. (Note: both of these “independent” media are sponsored by the US government)
I spoke about this at a UN session. Such measures don’t do any harm to Putin, they give him advantage because he controls the TV.
However, they are depriving the Russians of access to truthful and honest information.
It is a mistake to follow a repressive law, to pay billions in fines in Russian war chest and to think we exist in a world of “business as usual.”
Globohomo shills are very worried about the Russian promotion of traditional values…
And they are trying to discredit this because a lot of Western conservatives are apparently taking the bait.
Tucker Carlson just gave his speech in Hungary where he warned that Washington hates Russia because it’s a Christian country. In July, during the Family Leadership conference in Iowa, Tucker Carlson also clashed with former Vice President Mike Pence over the issue of U.S. aid for Ukraine. While Pence and many other Republican presidential hopefuls support a tough stance toward Moscow, some American conservatives sympathize with Vladimir Putin because he purports to defend “traditional, moral and spiritual values.”
***
Moscow’s efforts have yielded results. In February, for example, former National Security Advisor Lieutenant General (Ret.) Michael Flynn publicly praised Putin’s defense of “the family and God,” which Flynn called “strong values the West is destroying.”
Western rightoids are clearly idealizing Russia but Putin has done more to protect the Russian children from LGBT and protect the dignity and rights of religious people than any western politician. He has banned LGBT propaganda to children, and jailed the Pussy Riot for performing in a church.
Yet for all that Putin touts Russia as a model of traditional values, it’s anything but. As of 2020, Russia had one of the highest abortion rates globally (31.6%), far surpassing the European Union (11.4%) and United States (9%). Meanwhile, Moscow denies its citizens their God-given rights to freedom of speech and the press. That’s hardly something that should resonate with American conservatives.
Please provide link to Putin touting Russia as a model of traditional values. Russia is the most atheistic country ever, and the Russian THOTs kill their kids. This is a legacy of the USSR, much like alcoholism, and it will take long to undo. Is the author suggesting Putin bans Russian THOTs from killing their kids? Putin is benevolent to the ladies, in fact I would say he is a feminist. He understands the power of the female vote and knows well that all women care about is abortion, they want to kill their kids.
Please tell me, where in the Bible does it grant you the right to free speech? Late Iron Age authors of the Bible didn’t know anything about the press. Newspapers are an eighteenth century invention. Not to mention, American conservatives know very well that you have no free speech on the liberal controlled social media in America. So who is the author talking to?
Russia’s leaders epitomize hypocrisy. On July 19, Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, urged the clergy to abandon “flashy and provocative luxury,” as a cleric’s lifestyle should not “demonstratively contrast with the way of life of the flock.” Yet this admonition apparently doesn’t apply to Kirill himself. He’s been seen sporting a $30,000 Breguet watch and luxuriating on a $4 million yacht and a $43 million Gulfstream G450 jet. A 2020 investigation linked him to multiple million-dollar properties.
Should the leader of the Church be a monk? The Pope has a custom made Papa mobile. Lives in the Vatican. Have you been to the Vatican, have you seen the quality of the buildings there? Papacies went bankrupt building that. Does the Pope fly economy class? No, he flies a chartered plane. Should I even mention Aga Khan? Why does the Russian Patriarch get this level of character assassination? He literally hasn’t done anything out of the ordinary.
Putin is perhaps the biggest hypocrite of all. He publicly advocates for preserving the nuclear family — yet while he was married to his first wife, he reportedly had an affair with Svetlana Krivonogikh, which is rumored to have resulted in the birth of a child. Later, he divorced his first wife for the Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, whom he has not married and with whom he’s reportedly fathered multiple children— a fact he has sought to keep under wraps.
Putin is understandably very secretive about his personal life. And clearly, he is not really loyal to women in his life. He is a heterosexual male, and a heterosexual male of certain attractiveness walks through life having sex with multiple women. The virtuous man always takes care of the women in his life. You will hear about Putin cheating but you will never hear about his wife or children struggling.
Some fellow conservatives probably ask themselves how Putin, with his communist upbringing steeped in Marxist ideology that teaches that “religion is the opium of the masses,” would support the Church. For Putin, the Church is merely a mechanism for domestic and international manipulation. This has been a long tactic by Russia’s intelligence. In 2016, Putin signed “laws against sharing faith in homes, online, or anywhere but recognized church buildings.”
The author is trying to appeal to American Protestants for whom street preaching and a free market competition between religious groups is the norm, where quirky sects and spirituality are the norm. In Russia this does not fly. Again the author uses Russia’s Soviet past to bash Russia with.
Russia’s Patriarch Kirill, who was spying for the KGB in Switzerland not only supported Putin’s aggression in Ukraine but also blessed nuclear weapons. Even his predecessor, Patriarch Alexy II (the KGB code name ‘Drozdov’ (Thrush))was a KGB agent. In 2002, at the opening of a departmental church of the FSB, Patriarch Alexy II blessed the church’s opening.
Honestly, all religious leaders of any significance are agents of governments and always have been, unless they are governments themselves. The Ecumenical Patriarch is an agent of the CIA. And the aforementioned Aga Khan, the leader of the Ismailis, is an agent of the British. The Papacy was literally granted the Vatican by Il Duce. And Catholic clergy organized the flight of prominent Nazis to South America.
I don’t see why Western conservatives should support Ukraine? They didn’t ask for this. It is not their war. Bottom line, if you are against Putin, you support the globohomo, globohomo oppresses normal people in the West. It tries to feed homosexual and transsexual propaganda to children, it tries to teach critical race theory, it teaches women feminism. It spreads hatred towards everything straight, white, and male. So if you excuse me, rightoids don’t need to support the globohomo project in Ukraine, and should not give a damn if Putin puts a stop to it.
And while Russia is not a traditional country, you can live a traditional life there without being harassed by LGBT activism, and other culturally Marxist slop.
