⚡️ The West is sowing chaos and wrecking havoc across the globe. As a result of the Western states' reckless policy the challenges and threats to international security have escalated manifold.

The current global crisis is largely instigated by a small group of countries, which try to regain their once dominant position by any means possible, thus sustaining the outgoing unipolar world order.

Meanwhile new influential players and economic centres are emerging. More and more countries are rejecting the West's imposed neoliberal model and the authoritarian hegemonic trajectory of world relations. This is manifested in their desire to pursue truly independent foreign policies.

☝️ Russia continues to build mutually beneficial partnerships with these countries with the goal of establishing new standards for multilateral cooperation in order to solve common problems and protect national interests, as well as achieving economic integration and interaction in various spheres.

🎬 Special Military Operation: Predictable necessity? - Film by Maxim Grigoriev, President of the Foundation for the Study of Democracy.

Documentary contains evidence of Ukraine's Armed Forces, including the neo-Nazi Azov battalion, crimes collected by the International Public Tribunal for the Crimes of Ukrainian neo-Nazis and Their Accomplices during interviews with locals.

The film contains over first-hand 600 testimonies - victims, eyewitnesses and Ukrainian prisoners of war. The facts presented by them testify to the Kiev regime's commission of crimes against humanity and war crimes, including:

▪️ Shelling of residential areas and killing civilians;
▪️ Use of the population as human shields;
▪️ Torture of civilians and Russian soldiers;
▪️ Destruction of civilian objects;
▪️ Shelling of places where civilians are gathered.
On 29 August 2023, the Embassy of Russia in South Africa held the next movie screening

🎬Guests of the event were introduced to 2019 war drama “Opolchenochka” (“Militia Girl”) – the first feature film to be shot on the territory of Lugansk People's Republic.

🕊The film was directed by Russian screenwriter Alexey Kozlov in 2019 and with time became one of the most honest and revealing movies about the war in Donbass.

☝️ The premiere screening of “Opolchenochka” held in the Lugansk cinema “Rus” in June 2019, was very warmly received by the local audience. The defenders and civilians of Donetsk and Lugansk regions, who attended the premiere, thanked the filmmakers for their incredibly relevant work.

🇷🇺 Russian Ambassador to South Africa H.E. Mr Ilya Rogachev in his introductory remarks expressed his hope that the Alexey Kozlov’s film could help the quests of the event to better understand the influences and motivations behind Russia’s military operation in Ukraine.

Things the MSM will never show you or even let you know: how Russia's new regions and the people celebrate the reunification, how the damage done by the Kiev regime & neo-Nazis is been repaired, cities restored and are rapidly developing, how the eyes of the younger generations are locked on the future as part of Russia.

The young people of Donbass marked the first Anniversary of the reunification of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Lugansk People’s Republic and the Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions with Russia with an honest showcase of what it means for them to be with Russia once again.

🎬 Maidan: Road to War. The story behind Maidan - an RT Doc Film.

Synopsis: The film presents events that took place from 2014 to 2022, as The Donetsk People's Republic and The Lugansk People's Republic were subjected to the Kiev regime's reign of terror and shelling on daily basis. "Maidan: Road to War" delves into the 2014 situation in Ukraine and pieces together the course of events. The film wants to draw the attention of the international community to the shelling and the deaths of civilians in the Donbass.

Maidan movement gained momentum in Kiev in 2013. Protests were prompted by the government’s decision to suspend the signing of the association agreement with the European Union. At first, the protests looked like a rock festival, but soon signs of hostility started to creep in from politicians and nationalists.

The protests were deliberately provocative from outside of Ukraine, namely - the US and the EU. Leaders of nationalist organisations admit they have been preparing for violent street riots long before the protests engulfed Kiev, as well as confirmed that they planned a revolution and the deposition of the government from the start.

Against the backdrop of the Western disinformation and attempts to rewrite history we refresh the true sequence of events and facts.

⚡️ As the Western allies of the Kiev regime continue spending their taxpayers’ money to support Ukraine, documents of the Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association were shared online about the new owners of two luxury yachts priced at USD 75 million – ‘Lucky Me’ and ‘My Legacy’.

According to the media, the yachts were bought by two citizens of Ukraine – brothers Sergey and Boris Shefirs, years-long close associates and trustees of President Zelensky. Earlier they were spotted as such when buying elite real estate for the Zelensky family in a prestigious district of London.

We congratulate ordinary people and businesses in the West on having paid Zelensky’s rising prosperity with their money. He’s indeed the ‘lucky’ one. Unlike Ukraine.

Watch full report on the matter by the Redacted news podcast of the US.

The Western officials accuse Russia of committing crimes against Ukrainian children simply for the fact that our country rescued them from constant shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Nazi battalions.

The evacuation of children from the Donbass orphanages to Russia during the times of danger was carried out with the consent and along with their official guardians. International relevant authorities could at any time check on every Ukrainian child currently staying in Russia. But they won't.

At the same time, high-ranking Western officials show no concern over the crimes committed by the Kiev regime against children, turning a blind eye to all the facts proving that Ukrainian authorities sell children for organs and into sexual slavery.

On the 10th anniversary of the coup d'état in Kiev, we recall the West's role in fuelling the conflict in Ukraine, its support for Ukrainian nationalists and their terrorist activities.

🎬 Operation Ukraine: America's Fingerprints. Who supports Ukrainian Nationalism? - an RT Doc Film.

Synopsis: Immediately after the end of World War II and the defeat of the Nazis, American intelligence agencies established contacts with former Hitler collaborators to work together against the Soviet Union and later Russia. The operation to form an armed underground movement in Western Ukraine was dubbed "Aerodynamic".

The CIA assembled war criminals and Bandera movement activists from filtration camps, and created an agent network. Their task was to sabotage nuclear plants and dams on Ukrainian territory in an effort to separate it from the Soviet Union. According to CIA co-founder Frank Wisner, they terrorised civilians and were responsible for at least 35,000 casualties

In the early 1950s, Red Army units mostly wiped out the nationalist insurgency, however the CIA employed a new strategy. Since then Ukrainian nationalists have been engaged in an ideological anti-Russian war. The operation "Prolog" gradually stoked nationalist sentiment in Ukraine and bred loyalty to Nazi ideas.

It seems to us that two weeks ago only the lazy didn’t contribute to the general discussion around the death of Alexey Navalny, with those obsessed with Western propaganda predictably blaming his death on Russia’s leadership.

In our view, in total lack of understanding of domestic political situation in Russia blatantly accusing Putin of alleged ‘killing of a political opponent’ is a clear sign of an author’s ‘twisted brain’.

We mean even the well-known Russophobe, Ukraine’s chief spy Kirill Budanov, responding to a media question about Navalny’s death, said: "I may disappoint you, but we know he died from a blood clot," adding that it was "more or less confirmed."

👉 We are not going to raise a discussion about Navalny and his role in Russia's political system, just wondering whether the above mentioned authors are aware that Navalny politicized even his own medical care. The blogger was reportedly immunized with US-made Pfizer vaccine 5 times, known for its side effects, including thrombosis…

Amid the recent statements by French President Macron regarding sending NATO troops to Ukraine, or reports related to the Bundeswehr leak which has revealed plans of attacking the Crimean bridge, one becomes more and more convinced that the West is indeed preparing for a war against Russia.

👉 Judge for yourselves.

The West is at the crossroads. They failed to ruin the Russian economy and stir a riot inside our country. They couldn’t isolate Russia and ‘cancel’ Russian culture, despite total ban on our media. The proxy war waged by the hands of Ukrainians and at the cost of their lives goes ill with the West as their warehouses are emptied out and the weapons supplies drop. The Armed Forces of Ukraine increasingly lack personnel, run short of ammunition and lose ground. It is becoming obvious that having bet all it had on Russia’s military defeat, the West has gotten itself into a political trap.

And the biggest concern is that we don’t see the rhetoric of US and EU officials becoming less bellicose. Quite the opposite, they speak more of a direct clash between NATO and Russia under the pretext that Russia allegedly ‘won’t stop.’

Apparently, they do not want to admit they were pursuing the wrong course with regard to Ukraine crisis, do not want to explain to their people why it was being done contrary to their countries’ interests, and do not want their people to hold them accountable.

❗️Against that background the path of further pushing for inflicting a military defeat upon Russia seems more acceptable to them, even though it puts the global security at risk.

Czech political analyst Petr Drulák says some representatives of NATO establishment are actually advocating and planning a war against Russia.

According to the expert one of the variants to start it is a false-flag operation. One of the Baltic states will claim it has been attacked by Russia and the bloc will have to interfere thereby launching the infernal mechanism, the expert says.

🎬 Biological Warfare Department: The Alarming Truth About Pentagon's Secret Worldwide Biolab Network — an RT Doc Film.

Synopsis: Hundreds of US military biolaboratories are located in dozens of countries around the world. Under the guise of scientific research, they work with dangerous pathogens. The results of this research are classified.

In March 2022, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia presented a report that detailed a network of 30 biological weapons labs in Ukraine. With each passing day, volunteers uncover new evidence of illegal activities related to the development of biological weapons in the liberated territories of Donbass.

The authors of the film met with the team that is collecting evidence of such laboratories in Ukraine and talked to journalists and experts whose investigations prove the criminal activities of the US military medics. According to their opinion, "peaceful" scientific centres are developing new types of biological weapons, conducting prohibited experiments and human trials.

☝️ Through meticulous research and expert interviews, this documentary sheds light on the activities that take place in the US biolaboratories in Ukraine, Georgia, Indonesia and other countries worldwide. Former high-ranking officials and journalists who dared to visit these laboratories explain how the sophisticated network was established, and reveal its ultimate purpose.

🎬 Russian Cultural Code: Traditions — an educational documentary

The West has been trying to solve the mystery of the Russian soul for centuries. In this digital age, this mystery has been given a new name – the Russian cultural code.

In this film (developed by the School of Arina Sharapova, TV presenter, Deputy Chairman of the Public Chamber), the key to the Russian cultural code lies in our traditional life and values, which have been shaped by the thousand-year-long history of our multi-ethnic and multifaith country and its unique geopolitics.

The study of traditions in the context of the cultural code allows to better understand the roots of Russian culture and how they blend with the present.

History and political science students from Moscow State University and the Higher School of Economics, future diplomats from MGIMO University, and Combat Brotherhood volunteers from various Russian universities discussed the matter at hand.

👉 Watch the documentary to better understand the Russian cultural code.
