“This brutal war is not only mass murder of people and destruction of the infrastructure, economy, and cultural sites of Ukraine, but also a severe blow to the future of Russia, a country that is now pushed back into totalitarianism, but this time into a fascist totalitarianism.

We are being punished for daring to criticize authority.” —Oleg Orlov

like listen i dont think russia needs any defending but its amazing to me how "all russians are evil genocide supporting warmongers" mentality so often coexists with "every representative on every political level in my country is actively supporting a genocide in palestine and overwhelmingly anyone speaking out against it is punished and blacklisted and arrested" like ????????????????????????????? are we not on the same page? that our political systems as a whole inherently support the murder and disenfranchisement and ethnic cleansing of vast swathes of population for a nations own political gain?? how is my uncle being pilled by russian propoganda any different than your uncle being pilled by the every single Palestinian is a terrorist and deserves to die narrative being pushed out??? is it not a curse that we must collectively organize and fight against ???

#speaking on this topic because i am in fact russian-ukranian sorry guys my aunt lives in a fucking warzone and half cousins are refugees #and no. i dont think russians as a whole need defending because their daddy government is doing ethic cleansing obviously. what i mean is #the crazy cognitive dissonance that allows us to completely lose sight of solidarity. something that actually would benefit every anti-war #and pro peace movement in the world. #are we not only as strong as our unwavering principles of peace? #i simply do not believe that let the citizens of a country experience pain and repression and isolation and laugh until they overthrow thei #government somehow is a rational approach to solving global issues. and i feel like this should be overwhelmingly evident to most people

On May 22-23, 1948, Russian Chekists carried out operation "Spring" (Vesna) in Lithuania, the aim of which was deportation of partisans, their supporters and other "anti-Soviet elements". Soviets arrested and deported 40,000 citizens of Lithuania. In the picture: Deported Lithuanian "anti-Soviet elements"...

P.S. A good explanation why the people of the Baltic countries hate the Kremlin and all its friends who do business with Moscow or push "peace" accordingly to taste of Russian imperialists...

Tarot card with Nikolai Yezhov.Why this card?: The nine pentacles means success, achievement of goals, or a successful turn of events in life, due to a successful choice in the past. In the inverted meaning, the card foreshadows the collapse of a prosperous life, an unreliable environment/ rejection and loneliness. Despite success and material benefits, a person will not be happy.

Yezhov made a good choice in favor of the Bolsheviks, and Stalin in particular. In addition, career growth from the secretary of the Mari regional party committee to the People's Commissar of the NKVD of the USSR is already a successful success in the absolute. But the comrade did not receive ovations for long and the rapid success was replaced by an equally rapid fall.

So there is a pretty huge terrorist attack in Moscow right now. Allegedly some of the official sources already state that it was somehow orchestrated by Ukraine, which I highly doubt, but I am pretty certain that aside from obvious (100 or so) casualties, whoever did it, it will definitely be used to win popular sanction on absolute destruction of anything remotely revolutionary

#txt #russian communists think that it's governmental provocation to do something #either repressions or even further militarization #literally earlier that day russian government stated the desire to conscript even more people so

this is just a popup on the internet, but it really really does feel like a balm for the soul

#also thank you every major vpn company for leaving russia you sure are helping #the world's reaction to this war has always been extremely infuriating and depressing #politics are specifically supposed to affect and weaken the government #yet it becomes mainstream and now the iron walls are built from the outside for the citizens too #like we didn't have enough of them inside #all the russian-blocking is only helping the government and further crushing the free media #for example the new and trendy anti-ad law for the foreign agents #spoiler - foreign agent is a legal repression term for the people with actual moral and ethical backbone #the youtube channels of these foreign agents have millions subscribers each #yet the youtube turned off pay from the russian viewers so these channels don't get anything out of their audience #and now their advertisement options are severely limited by the new law #these channels can only depend on the financial support of russians Outside of this godforsaken country #which as you can guess is not much #and again you likely require a vpn to access most of the independent media and vpn companies competent enough to evade #the government site blockade have stopped supporting their services here #and all of this only furthers the feeling of isolation and 'dangerous world out to get us' which builds the support for the current #regime out of fear of the world which is how we all landed in this horrible situation in the first place #i did not expect to type a rant this big just from a single popup message yet here we are #russia

[russia-libertaire]

"...the harsh, materialistic and 'nihilistic' criticism of the 1860s and 1870s is due not merely to the change in economic and social conditions ... but in at least equal measure to the prison walls within which Nicholas I had enclosed the lives of his thinking subjects. This led to a sharp break with the polite civilisation and the non-political interests of the past, to a general toughening of fibre and exacerbation of political and social differences. ... In due course there emerged a vast and growing army of practical revolutionaries, conscious - all too conscious - of the specifically Russian character of their problems, seeking specifically Russian solutions. ... Henceforth the Russian radicals accepted the view that ideas and agitation wholly unsupported by material force were necessarily doomed to impotence ... The experience obtained by both sides in the struggle during these dark years was a decisive factor in shaping the uncompromising character of the later revolutionary movement in Russia."

'Russia and 1848', in Russian Thinkers, by Isaiah Berlin

(c) every single history teach i had #'just' cmon #and then they omit slavery ('umm actually that's surfdom and verrrrrry different!') and stalin's repressions+hitler deal

PERSONALITY:

i’m all too aware of my defects

quiet. reserved. passionate about nature. selfless. inquisitive. open minded.

HISTORY:

Alexey Nikoleyvitch Beliayev was born to Amvrosy and Luiza Beliayev on a pretty spring morning in late May. His sister Natalya was born when he was nine and Luiza passed away due to complications with the birth. Alexey did his best to take care of his sister, as his father was always busy with work. He was a curious child and could often be found exploring outside for long hours, running about in the woods and grass. Everyone who knew him said he was a kind soul.

When Alexey was 15, his father sent him to a boarding school in Moscow. He was taught math and science and read the classics and learned Russia’s history. He took to everything very well, except poetry and French. When he was 21, he decided to find work as a tutor. He was hired by a wealthy woman and her husband to tutor their young son, Kolya, for the summer. They agreed to pay him handsomely and so Alexey took the job.

He liked the job well enough. Kolya was a good child and a quick study, and Natalya’s ward, Vera, was just as eager a pupil. Alexey grew fond of Vera as time went on, though he knew nothing could ever come of his feelings. She revealed to him that Natalya had fallen in love with him as well. Alexey, not wanting to come between the two women and their friendship, decided to leave. He didn’t know where to go, but he knew he couldn’t stay any longer. He didn’t want to leave—he liked Kolya and he liked the property, but he wasn’t going to cause a rift between the women. So he left, returning to Moscow in the hopes of finding another tutoring job.

verses

nobody repressed me; nobody bothered about me//verse - pre canon. alexey is living with his father until the age of 15, and then he is sent away to moscow. he spends five years at a boarding school, learning everything the school has to teach him. once he graduates, he starts looking for work as a tutor.

but we only have him for the summer//verse - canon. alexey is tutoring kolya, natalya’s son. he is fast becoming friends with natalya’s ward, vera, as well. when he discovers that both natalya and vera are in love with him, he decides to leave so as not to come between the two women and create a rift in their friendship. he doesn’t want to leave—he wants to stay and be with vera—but he knows it’s best if he leaves. so he does.

i know that it’s impossible for me to stay here//verse - post canon. alexey has returned to moscow and is once again looking for a tutoring job. he is trying to forget the past summer and he doesn’t speak much of it except for vague details. it’s not working very well—he thinks of vera fondly and often—but he’s trying to throw himself into his work and keep himself occupied.

what do you do in moscow?//verse - modern. exactly what it sounds like. the plot of a month in the country but in a more modern setting, for those muns that have more modern muses. alexey is still a tutor and he still doesn’t really talk about the summer he spent with natalya and vera.

i should like to know how long i’ve been in these parts//verse - any and all interactions with muses that do not exist in the a month in the country universe. this includes fandomless ocs. it does not include a month in the country ocs.

85-year-old artist Lyubov Panchenko passed away. During the occupation of Bucha, she could not leave the house because she was bedridden and starving. On the eve of Bucha's liberation, the artist's house was destroyed. Panchenko was taken to hospital, but soon died.

Lyubov Panchenko is a laureate of the award named after Stus, an honorary citizen of Bucha. She is one of the artists of the sixties: during the Soviet censorship her work, which had a pronounced Ukrainian flavor, was silenced, and the artist was persecuted.

Before the war, Panchenko transferred her creative heritage to the Museum of the Sixties in Kyiv.

Xi sold Putin complete nonsense! Russians are shocked by Chinese cars

EN - Chinese cars in the Russian Federation did not survive local frosts. Russians complain about pedals falling off, brakes failing and wiring catching fire. Hundreds of Chinese foreign cars are sent for repairs, but there is another problem - a shortage of spare parts. For details about new transport in the Russian Federation, see our story.

P.S. Chinese Communists and Business well know that the Russian imperialists have backed themselves into a corner and will buy any worthless piece of junk with wheels...In addition, the Russians have no rights and no one will take their complaints into account...! China will profit very well at the expense of the Russian fools who are building Putin's crippled Russian world...

like i was literally reading this book throwing out descriptions of flies eating the bogeys out of people's noses and stuff and thinking hmmm maybe I'm just like too offended by this and that's the POINT! but it carried on in a way that was so like intrusive upon anything else in the text, and then I remembered reading human acts by han kang which is easily more grotesque and some pages I literally had to stop reading for a bit but is executed so masterfully and meaningfully (in relation to the text; obviously the whole point is that a lot of the violence is meaningless and shocking and confusing) but i couldnt for the life of me figure out why any of these descriptions were being used (so excessively to the point I was just tuning it out anyway) in this book except for I guess the writer thought it sounded cool and #realism and her university classmates told her the sentences were well crafted in peer feedback or whatever?? and at that point I was like wait maybe I actually do know how to read intelligently and this book might be subpar is that SO hard to believe? the way my brains instinctive response is to assume no one (except me) is capable of making bad art girl you are insane

#also still thinking abt this Russian film we saw abt a soviet era protest repression #that was about something so gruesome and shocking but managed to be like #so sparing with how it was depicted in a way that made it so much more impavtful #especially because it really brought the feeling of like this being part of people's lives that you would just continue living around it #bc u don't know what else to do #which human acts is like as well #it's like wow there's just this big huge gaping wound in the middle of South Korea and everyone has to just carry on their lives around the #edge of it
