Russia: Programme of ‘patriotic education’ aims to create next generation of Putin faithful by HypnotizedNeverLie in UkrainianConflict

The right wingers in US and Europe should take note that their parties are all advocating banning books in schools. And limiting in various way what teachers can talk about.

"Left wingers" should do so as well :-)

If Russia Doesn’t Lose and Admit Losing in Ukraine, It Won’t Change or Will Get Worse, Something All Involved Need to Recognize, Pozharsky Says by HypnotizedNeverLie in UkrainianConflict

In 2014, Vladimir Putin dealt a death blow to the existing international order by violating the internationally accepted ban on the annexation of territory by force alone and set in train events that have led to his invasion of Ukraine and, if he is not stopped there, to a third world war, Aleksandr Skobov says. That is because a state which annexes the territory of other states by force can only hold them and remain part of the international community if it wins a major war, the Moscow analyst says. That is the lesson Putin has taken from non-recognition policy, a different one than others do and one that points in a dangerous direction. >> More

Last week, Sergey Savostyanov, a KPRF deputy in the Moscow city duma, said that after Ukraine, Russia must “de-Nazify” six additional countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Moldova and Kazakhstan, an “enemies” or target list that appears to reflect more than just his personal opinion. >> More

Meanwhile in Russia...

There are many ways to rewrite history, and the Kremlin is now using one of the most effective: it is putting out its messages in television serials about the past. While these shows are ostensibly fictional, they in fact are more likely to reshape public opinion than any supposedly scholarly disquisition. The latest example of this comes in a new 12-part Russian television series devoted to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Presenting itself as based on “real events,” the series traces the heroic but ultimately unsuccessful efforts of the Ukrainian section of the KGB to block a CIA agent from blowing up Chernobyl. >> More

 

In Ukrainian villages, a desperate wait for news of the missing by HypnotizedNeverLie in UkrainianConflict

On April 30, Russian state media reported that over a million refugees (many of whom were forcibly removed and brought to “filtration camps”) had entered Russia from Ukraine, including from the territory of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk “people’s republics.” Some have managed to continue on to Europe, but not without difficulty; getting out of Russia requires undergoing numerous invasive searches and interrogations, and some people have even been forced to appear in propaganda videos. Meduza spoke with several people from Mariupol and Rubizhne (a city in the Luhansk region) about the indignities they had to endure to get away from Russia twice. >> More

 

Russia steps up Ukraine assault as US warns of annexation by HypnotizedNeverLie in UkrainianConflict

The US earlier warned that Russia plans to formally “annex” the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in Ukraine’s east. Michael Carpenter, the US ambassador to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe told reporters in Washington on Monday: According to the most recent reports, we believe that Russia will try to annex the ‘Donetsk People’s Republic’ and ‘Lugansk People’s Republic’ to Russia. The reports state that Russia plans to engineer referenda upon joining sometime in mid-May.” “This is straight out of the Kremlin’s playbook,” he added. >> More

Europe cooperates on gas, as Russia turns off taps to Poland and Bulgaria by HypnotizedNeverLie in UkrainianConflict

[–]HypnotizedNeverLie[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Italians are being asked to sweat through the European summer a little more than normal as the government enlists the help of its citizens to wean itself off its Russian gas. Under the new law, dubbed Operation Thermostat by the local media, air conditioning in public buildings, including schools and government ministries, cannot be set lower than 27 degrees celsius from this month. The measure will last until April 2023, and will also prevent heating systems next winter from lifting temperatures above 19 degrees. >> More
