Remember that people in Russia have been protesting against Putin for years with 2020 having on of the largest protests after rigging yet another election, he’s stolen the vast majority of their wealth, has turned the country into a authoritarian police state where thousands who speak out have been arrested.

But people in Russia have continued to protest for LGBT rights, to end corrupt elections, and for the war to end, you just haven’t noticed cause it didn’t effect you.

I get that most people on tumblr may not get what it’s like to be born into a dictatorship and are in general a ignorant people, but seeing people on here justify their racism by saying stuff like, “All the Russians fleeing actually pro war and racist, they just don’t want to fight” or “They should have just overthrown Putin” is genuinely disgusting and a borderline repeat of the Red Scare

today I woke up at five in the morning

my alarm clock is russian ballistic missiles

and then more missiles. and more. and shahed drones after that.

I know you most likely won't see it on the news in your country. But despite the low media coverage, Ukraine needs you now more than ever. Now that we receive no military aid from the US. Every penny counts. Please, if you have any funds to spare, consider donating to one of the Ukrainian non-profits listed here. Thank you. The attacks continues still, but we're alive so everything will be alright.

How to dodge media censorship in Russia: Leave and use Telegram

Following Russia’s invasion of Urkaine and a crackdown on the media, independent outlet DOXA – like others – had to reinvent itself.

More than 100 people gathered outside of the Dorogomilovsky district court in Moscow on the foggy morning of April 12. Inside the court, four DOXA magazine journalists were about to hear their sentence in a year-long criminal case. They were accused of encouraging minors to protest in a YouTube video they published in the midst of pro-Navalny rallies in January 2021. As hours passed, the crowd and the police presence grew. A woman with balloons in Ukrainian flag colours and six more people were arrested by the police. Tension rose. Finally, at 5:00pm the judge announced the sentence – two years of “correctional labour”.

In different circumstances and in a different country, such an outcome might have depressed the defendants. But the journalists were relieved. The measure obligates the four – Alla Gutnikova, Armen Aramyan, Natalia Tyshkevich, and Vladimir Metelkin – to work in Russia and give five to 20 percent of their earnings to the government.

It could have been worse – a two-year jail term. The four had already spent a year under house arrest, and this latest sentence meant freedom: their tracking anklets would be removed immediately, they would be able to leave their houses at any time and use the internet again.

The crowd cheered as three of the four journalists left the court. Tyshkevich was taken to jail where she was serving a 15-day sentence in another case, for a 2017 Instagram post with a Ukrainian coat of arms.

‘New level of danger’

Today, more than two months into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, almost all of DOXA’s 20 journalists have either left Russia or stopped reporting. So have more than 150 Moscow-based reporters and editors of Meduza, BBC Russian, Dozhd television, Ekho Moskvy radio station, Novaya Gazeta, the Moscow Times and other independent media.

DOXA’s editors felt they had no other choice. “Otherwise, we couldn’t guarantee their safety,” said one DOXA editor who uses the pseudonym Richard Kropotkin. “This was a test for our editorial team, because some people, the majority, felt that this was а new level of danger.”

In early March the Russian government introduced a law punishing “fakes about the Russian army” with up to 15 years in prison. “Fakes” included citing Ukrainian sources and using the word “war” instead of the government-approved “special operation”.

“We had a long discussion with the editorial team, and we concluded that we can’t self-censor,” said a DOXA editor, Katya Moroko, over a video call from Germany. “Any small step towards compromising with this government meant that they would ‘tighten the screws’ even more, and this compromise wouldn’t save us.”

After four days of almost non-stop coverage of the war, the DOXA website was blocked by the Russian government regulator Roskomnadzor, after a post about how to talk with friends and relatives who support the Russian invasion went viral on social media. In the following days, two dozen other independent Russian media were blocked or taken off air. “Those [first] days were really terrible,” said Masha Menshikova, DOXA’s news editor who is currently based in Germany. “I just sat at the computer from morning to night … Everything has changed for us because we have never written about the war in such detail. We wrote about universities.”

Popularity among students

DOXA started as a student magazine at the Higher School of Economics (HSE), one of Moscow’s most prestigious and most liberal universities. It quickly became one of Russia’s biggest media outlets covering education. In the summer of 2019, high school and university students in Moscow took to the streets when several opposition candidates were not allowed to run in the city council election. DOXA actively covered the rallies and asked inconvenient questions about the election campaign of HSE vice-rector Valeria Kassamara. In opinion pieces and social media posts, the magazine supported students who were arrested. As a result, the HSE discontinued the magazine’s registration as a student organisation, stating that the university is “beyond politics”. This, however, only contributed to DOXA’s popularity.

Biden's Proxy War In Ukraine

A former NATO commander has advised the United States that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a signal that our country should gear up for war.  Naturally, someone my age who lived through World War II is likely to greet this statement with horror. Worse, the means of fighting a war have changed. Conventional weapons were devastating enough, but this is the nuclear age where conflict can lead to unthinkable consequences.    In 1945, the United States flattened Hiroshima and Nagasaki with two atomic bombs. The destruction was frightening but the radioactive fallout that would sicken future generations of Japanese was more so. We had unleashed a genius from its bottle without the means to lure it back. The grim challenge was how to survive a similar attack in the future.  People built bunkers in their backyards that were stocked with necessary supplies, forgetting that the half-life of radiation could last not years or decades but centuries.   When Russia gained parity with America’s arsenal, the two countries negotiated to prevent another atomic war. The Mutual assurance destruction doctrine (MAD) posited that two sides, equally armed, would provide a deterrent against mutual destruction. Other nations had developed nuclear capabilities but not on a scale comparable to the U.S. and Russia so détente was possible. China’s decision to become a major nuclear power has changed the equation. Now there are three major players, all of them armed with a new generation of atomic weapons that make the world a more dangerous place. The assault on Hiroshima and Nagasaki took three days to accomplish because a plane could carry one bomb at a time. Today’s missiles carry multiple warheads capable of attacking multiple targets simultaneously. Says Andrew F. Krepinevich, Jr. in his article “The New Nuclear Age,” that fact changes the calculation for détente. (Foreign Affairs, May/June 2022, pgs. 92-104.) In the past, two equally armed states could survive a stealth attack and still have bombs left to retaliate. The “no first strike advantage,” has been the basis of détente. But silos filled with multiple warheads make a preemptive strike more appealing.   If it chose, Russia could destroy New York, Washington D. C. San Francisco, and Los Angeles in a single day. With China in the picture, the danger of a preemptive strike increases.  The cost of protecting ourselves also grows. The United State must match not only Russia’s arsenal but China’s as well. As autocracies make decisions faster than democracies, the likelihood that a first strike will come from Russia or China exists. If our allies doubt the safety of our nuclear umbrella, they might choose to increase their stockpiles. Détente would become impossible and the chance of a first-strike event more likely. Because the current nuclear age bears little similarity to the past, Biden’s decision to send money and weapons to Ukraine serves our national interest as well as theirs. Weakening Putin’s ground game strengthens détente. Battering the Russian economy serves a similar purpose and gives us time to develop plans for dealing with China. Even Biden’s critics give him a thumbs up for his handling of this proxy war with Putin. If the war were his only challenge, it would be enough. But we remain a country politically divided and sickened by a continuing pandemic that brings inflation and other economic troubles in its wake. Money that would have gone to education, healthcare, and family programs has to stand in line until this war is over. Even so, the war must be fought and won.  Joe Biden has faced more challenges than most of his predecessors.  If he keeps the ship of state from sinking, history will honor him as one of our greatest presidents.

Today the first in weeks organized evacuation happened in Mariupol, 60-100 people have been taken to ukranian territory. After weeks of complete occupation and constant shelling, there are still people in Azovstal (big steel fabric in town).

Those are, probably the last people of Mariupol. Before the war, this town had ~440 000 in population. For now we have information about 150 000-200 000 evacuated in first two months.

So, where are the other 200 000 people? Some of them were deported to filtration camps in russia. There are 5 filtration camps now, 2 in far east part of russia (those places were historicaly used to contain ukranian prisoners during soviet era, there are still communities of ethnic ukranians now, children of repressed citizens). At least 33 000 people were deported.

So, where are the others? They are dead, lying on the streets of Mariupol. They have been killed by russian forces.  We couldn’t say the real number for now, but even an estimation of 20 000 people dead (those numbers are circulating the media right now) is bone chilling. What is even more devastating is that this number is probably would be much larger. The city is in ruins. Absolutely.

Let the amount of dead people, even if its just 20 000, sink in. Death to Russian Federation is the only possible outcome. Death to this ugly imperialistic beast, this absolute ghoulish nightmare state. Death to all of it and freedom to all 190 (!) nations under its boot
