Putin literally broke the food dependency Russia inherited from the late USSR. Food sanctions, and the “import replacement programs”, which aim to replace imports with domestic industrial production are the most important development in Russia in the last 30 years…
I don’t speak Polish so I wrote it as I understand it.
I’m not certain what this was supposed say…
Is it suggesting the mayors of Prague are hiding in the toilets from the Russians?
A tale of two cities and two different approaches to WWII memorials…
A memorable fragment from the current anti-Russian hysteria in the Czech Republic that is worth of a note on this blog…
Ondřej Kolář is the mayor of Prague 6, who recently removed the statue to the Soviet liberator of Prague, Ivan Konev. Pavel Novotný is the mayor of Řeporyje, a village that forms the outskirts of Pragua. He brings plenty of traffic to this blog, and recently came up with the initiative to commemorate the soldiers of the Russian Liberation Army. A Nazi collaborator group formed of Russians, who at the very end of the War turned on their Nazi masters and helped the revolt of Czech patriots against the German occupiers...
The Czech Republic is a funny place. Following the removal of Konev’s statue, Russia reacted with enacting a law that would prosecute people, who desecrate the monuments to Red Army in Eastern Europe. But the reaction of the Czechs has been rather hysterical. Not so long ago, a piece of news began circulation that the Czech secret service, the BIS, has information that a man has arrived in Prague, who can be a potential danger to Ondřej Kolář, Pavel Novotný, and the principal mayor of Prague, Zdeněk Hřib. All, as I know, were placed under police protection. Recently, the Czech Minister of Foreign Affairs said he knows of Russian actions and that should anything happen to Kolář or Novotný, they will know who did it.
I personally think, the BIS has links to Kolář and this is a conspiracy to create a moral panic with the aim of damaging Czech-Russian relations, and the current government in the Czech Republic as all the mayors represent the opposition. The opposition in the Czech Republic is normally represented in urban areas, whereas the government and the president represent the countryside.
Some people seized on the opportunity to have a bit of laugh at the expense of the eccentric mayors of Prague. Some Zdeněk Pernica from an obscure regional right-wing party asked on Facebook how much is the reward, and added that he lost money due to Corona and needs to cover the losses. He did not mention anyone in text but included a doctored picture with himself holding a rifle and the three mayors seated.
Novotný and representatives of the Czech liberal wing went into hysteria and tried to get the police involved.
The journalists were also active…
I really hope the police still has some sense of humour left unlike the liberal turds that went ratting on the man. The issue was widely reported in mainstream media, which tried to create a moral panic.
Almost everyday I find yet another Ukraine link in the non-system opposition in Russia. This time at the very heart of the action. See my other recent posts, about Ruslan Shavetdinnov, Ilya Novikov, Kirill Naumov, and Vladimir Shipitsyn.
Apart from Ruslan Shavetdinnov, whose case has been widely reported by the likes of the Washington funded RFE/RL, the rest of the individuals I have covered are low level activists really. This time, I discovered the brother and husband of Lyubov Sobol, the Moscow resident activist, and close Navalny comrade.
The information is now relatively dated, it actually comes from 2016 but it has resurfaced recently, and it is worth reposing here because it adds to the series I was running.
It turns out, the brother of Lyubov Sobol, Grigory Musatov took active part in the Euromaidan.

Her husband, Sergey Mokhov is not far off:
Whenever you are being told about 40% of young Russians wanting to quit Russia for a better life in the West, think of this guy…
And he is coming back…
Come crisis, Putin’s Russia help please, I don’t wanna stay in Murica, can’t afford medical insurance because I’m a sucker. And such is the story of the majority of those that say “I wanna emigrate…”
The following is why Russophobia is dangerous. If you eek out a response from them, you get a glimpse of what Russophobes actually believe. A hodgepodge of anti-Russian myths…
The myth of Ukrainian genocide, DONE BY THE RUSSIANS, seems to have taken root among the Russophobic creeps. It does not strike them that Stalin and Lazar Kaganivich were not Russians. And here is why the Russians should never and will never apologise or atone for USSR and socialism.
