Santa’s Cool Tattoos

I discovered the hero of this Vice documentary half naked…

That’s “Santa” aka. Volodymyr Regesha

Remember kids, we have been told there aren’t any nazis in Ukraine…

This creep came to the spotlight recently over an attack on a journalist, Volodymyr Runets of Current Times, a Russian language media project of RFE/RL, a US government propaganda arm. Santa literally shot at everyone in a club from an automatic rifle.

This happened on 5 May, and Santa has since been let off. Strana.ua reports:

The court proceedings in the best traditions of the post Maidan reality. The court room was filled with colleagues of the journalist, Runets on one hand. From the side were nationalists and Members of Parliament, who support such ideas. Andriy Antonishchak (Bloc of Petro Poroshenko), Oksana Korchinskaya (Radical Party), Serhiy Vysotckiy, Andriy Levus (both from National Front), Egor Sobolev (Samopomich), Andriy Ilenko (Svoboda).

Remember this list next time somebody tells you that the Right Sector received meager electoral results. All the parties, with the exception of “Svoboda” are mainstream and not immediately considered nationalist by superficial observers.

In the Carpathians, they are Building the Largest Tryzub in Ukraine and Perhaps in the World

The Tryzub is the national symbol of Ukraine featured in the coat of arms. Espresso reports:

On the Pertsy Plain in Yablunitsa, Ivano-Frankivsk region, they are building out of wood a unique, patriotic attraction. They want it to enter the Book of Records of Ukraine

It was reported on the Facebook page of the Pertsy Plain.

“Please friends, tell us how to enter the Book of Records of Ukraine. We are creating the largest Tryzub in Ukraine and perhaps in the World.” -it says in the post.

The construction works have already begun. The people are actively giving advice in the comments on how to register your entry in the Book of Records.

“We have records of larges tryzubs, therefore I can answer your question, if I knew what size the authors have in mind. In any case, I wish you successful completion of your idea,” -a representative of the Book of Records of Ukraine answered on Facebook.

Zelensky says the only Commonality left Between Ukraine and Russia is the Border

He said this in a post on Facebook.

Translation:

After any “goodbye” inevitably comes a “good day.”

I have long thought about “lot of in common”  between Russian and Ukraine. The reality is such that today, after the annexation of Crimea and the aggression in the Donbass, what is left of “in common” is the state border,

2295 kilometers and 400 metres in common. And from the Ukrainian side, Russia ought to return control over this border. Only then can continue searching for commonalities.

The ban on export of oil products, and the distribution of passports to the citizens of occupied territories, the holding of Ukrainians as captives, doesn’t bring closer the settlement of relations between our countries, even by iota, and we cannot call such relations “brotherly.”

Now, from the “common” to “personal.”

Regarding show, which was announced on the Russian federal channel.  I want to remind [everyone] that it was acting in TV shows that made me popular in Ukraine, and in the end made me a President of Ukraine. The airing of this show, which was filmed a long time ago, looks weird. I don’t have ambitions to do a political career in Russia.

(If you know the name of the show please write in the comments)

Why the Events of 2 May 2014 in Odessa Justify Putler’s actions in Crimea, Ilovaysk etc.

I will briefly cover what happened on 2 May 2014 in Odessa…

Right Sector goons, reinforced by hooligans from Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk burned alive some 50 (at least according to official statistics) anti-fascist protestors in the House of the Unions in Odessa.

This was a complete act of barbarism worthy of countries of Africa. And it justifies Putins’s actions in defending Crimea, and stopping the Ukrainian advance in the Donbass.

That’s all from me folks, if you don’t like my version of events, the comments are free:

Putler Comments on the Desire of Ukraine to give Passports to Russians

Recently, the president elect, Volodymyr Zelensky expressed the desire to grant citizenship to Russians, who suffer under the repression of the Kremlins. The darkest one commented on this…

I translate:

If in Ukraine they will start giving out passports to Russians, and we in Russia will give citizenship and passports to Ukrainians, sooner or later we will inevitably come towards an expected outcome. All will have a single citizenship. We cannot but welcome that.

Putler Signs Decree Allowing LDNR People to Obtain Russian Passports

A righteous move from the Darkest one…

From FT:

Russian president Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Wednesday to allow residents of Moscow-backed rebel-held territories in eastern Ukraine to obtain Russian passports.

The decree — published on the Kremlin website just three days after Ukraine elected a new president in a landslide — allows residents of the two separatist “republics” in Ukraine’s coal-producing Donbass region to apply for Russian passports under a simplified three-month procedure.

Though the move may make lives easier for vulnerable local residents who still face daily artillery bombardments, it is likely to further complicate moribund peace talks between Moscow and Kiev, which president-elect Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed to renew.

Anatoly Karlin wrote about it recently.
