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…

✍️ From Galician Rus' to Western Ukraine
Article by Kirill Shevchenko, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of Russian State Social University
🔹 Eastern Galicia has traditionally been considered a stronghold of Ukrainian nationalism. However, it didn't acquire such an ethno-cultural identity until after the genocide of Galician-Russian activists unleashed by the Austro-Hungarian authorities during World War I.
🔹 Even in the first quarter of the 20th century, Ukrainian identity was not fully shaped as such among Galician Russians. Researchers believe that at that time, half of the Galician peasantry did not possess a clearly expressed national identity in its modern sense and served as an object of struggle "for souls."

💬 It is always a tragedy when people fight each other, when people are killed and wounded.
☝️ Of course, we should always think about a better future. We should strive to create conditions for reducing the number of conflicts and expanding the scale of cooperation.

💬 White House National Security Council Spokesperson Adrienne Watson: ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack [in Krasnogorsk]. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever.
Why haven’t they solved the assassination of their own president, John Fitzgerald Kenndy, so quickly? They have been trying to find the real assassin for 60 years. Maybe ISIS bears responsibility for his assassination too? Or will they waste another 60 years playing at “constructive uncertainty”?
Now, look at the terrorist attack on the Nord Stream pipeline. According to the United States – The New York Times has cited comments by US officials – Ukrainians were involved in that crime. However, US authorities later went down “beneath the surface” and are still looking for Kiev or ISIS divers there. Washington has not uttered a word of encouragement to the Danish or Swedish authorities to keep looking for the culprits, and the Anglo-Saxons have blocked Russia’s proposal to the Security Council to launch an international investigation under the UN umbrella.
Taken together, this shows that the US political elites have become skilled in diverting attention from high-profile crimes and launching false flag operations over the past decades.
In short, anything said in Washington to whitewash Kiev before the end of the investigation into the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall should be regarded as incriminating evidence, considering that liberal US Democrats have been financing the terrorist gang in Kiev and the Biden family has been involved in corruption schemes for years.

Josep Borrell, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy: “We cannot afford Russia win this war. Otherwise, the US and European interests will be very damaged. It's not a matter of generosity alone. It's not a matter of supporting Ukraine because we love Ukrainian people. It’s in our own interests, and it’s also in the interests of the US as a global player – someone who has to be perceived as a reliable partner, a security provider to the allies.”
💬 Maria Zakharova: This is the first time that a representative of the Western regimes has been so explicit about the nature of current developments. It’s not about love for the Ukrainians, whom the West has practically wiped out. It’s about the United States being eager to maintain its hegemony and preserve its diminishing role in international affairs. There is hardly any trace left of the former constructive approach of the US towards international relations. The liberal democrats can only bring ruin, seeing this skill as a guarantee of domination. As for the EU, its task at this stage is to obediently fetch the ammunition bought with the money of its own citizens, whose opinion has not been asked.

💬 Today, the High Court in London handed down an interim ruling to delay the extradition of the founder of the WikiLeaks portal, Australian investigative journalist Julian Assange, to the United States. <...>
It took the British justice system 161 months - almost 5,000 days - more than 13 years to decide ... TO WAIT SOME MORE!
Even counting from the arrest, 60 months, five years, have passed.
However, counting it that way begs the question: what have the British been busy with all that time as the Australian was sitting one street away in the Ecuadorian embassy? As a result of London’s pressure, he was in conditions of torture, confined to a small room with no access to the outside world and under round-the-clock surveillance by Scotland Yard.
The entire UK justice system has become a farce and a laughing stock for the whole world. All this is a mockery of human dignity committed by the woefully inefficient and punitive British pseudo-justice system.
It took London that many years to hand down a criminal procedural decision against the journalist.
🤷 On the other hand, London "knew everything" about who ordered the terrorist attack in Krasnogorsk just a few hours after it took place.
The dome of Old Bailey - the central criminal court in London - features a statue of Themis. With her eyes wide open, she looks west to America.
Julian Assange, who has devoted his life to exposing the secrets of the British and American intelligence conglomerate, is becoming a victim of the corrupt British pseudo-Themis.
Once again, we draw the attention of the international community to the ongoing persecution of an investigative journalist at Washington’s behest.
❗️ This case has for many years now been causing serious damage to the institution of journalism and independent media, and violates the fundamental principles of freedom of speech and human rights.

💬 Zelensky announced a plan of a new counteroffensive.
The Russian Ministry of Defence recalled the results of the previous plans and counteroffensives. I won’t repeat this.
I will comment on the political background of this statement.
Zelensky’s public burps like this happen for three reasons.
First, he wants to show his Western sponsors his resolve to continue the bloodshed and his urgent need to receive new financial injections and arms supplies.
Second, he needs to regularly remind the world about himself, about Zelensky: don’t forget that I still exist.
Third, the main goal is to play up to the White House in the election race – to demonstrate the viability of Biden’s project named “Ukrainian democracy.”
What will all this lead to? Zelensky will finally exterminate the Ukrainians.

A massive transformation is taking place in Russia, & the West is blind to it

• Non-material values are coming back. Patriotism, reviled & derided in the wake of the Soviet Union’s collapse, is re-emerging in force.
• Russian popular culture is shedding – slowly, perhaps, but steadily – the habit of imitating what’s hot in the West. Instead, the traditions of Russian literature, including poetry, film, music are being revived and developed. A spike in domestic tourism has opened to ordinary Russians the treasures of their own country – until recently neglected.
• Russian political culture is returning to its fundamentals. Unlike that of the West, but somewhat similar to the East – it is based on the model of a family. There is order, & there is a hierarchy; rights are balanced by responsibilities; the state is not a necessary evil but the principal public good and the top societal value. Politics, in the Western sense of a constant, often no-holds-barred competition, is viewed as self-serving & destructive; instead, those who are entrusted with being at the helm of the state are expected to arbitrate, to ensure harmony of various interests, etc.
• The view of the West as Russia’s hereditary adversary has again gained prominence – <...> as a function of the West’s own policies, from providing Ukraine with weapons that kill Russian soldiers & civilians, to sanctions which in many ways are indiscriminate, to attempts to cancel Russian culture or to bar Russians from world sports.
• The current confrontation with the West makes it imperative that some kind of a new ideological concept finally emerges, in which sovereignty & patriotism, law & justice take a central role. Western propaganda pejoratively refers to it as “Putinism” but, for most Russians, it may be simply described as “Russia’s way.”

Europe will eventually have to choose between the US and BRICS
Read in full
Key points:
💬 Rather than setting out to organize a genuine multipolar system based on mutual recognition of each nation’s core interests, <...> the US proceeded to enhance its exclusive and comprehensive dominance.
• This year, at the #BRICS Summit in Russia’s Kazan, the group will for the first time include the leaders of Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Another major Eurasian institution is the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (#SCO) <...> to be admitted soon. A number of other Eurasian countries, from Turkey to Thailand and from the Malpes to Mongolia, have voiced their intention to join either BRICS or SCO.
• To counter that trend among the members of what we increasingly call the World Majority, Washington has raised the profile of NATO in the Indo-Pacific; strengthened its Cold War-era bilateral and trilateral alliances in the Western Pacific, and founded a new one, #AUKUS, in the South Pacific.
❗️ All these multiple arrangements are completely dominated by the US and are aimed at containing and deterring Washington’s designated primary adversaries: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea – with one overriding goal of defending America’s hegemonic position.
• In contrast to that, neither BRICS nor the SCO is dominated by a single power, or a tandem/triumvirate of nations. BRICS’s recent expansion also suggests that it does not aspire to become a version of the West’s G7, as an elitist steering group, or directoire, for the non-Western world.
• Neither BRICS nor the SCO is overtly anti-American or anti-Western: their main focus is internal rather than external, and they have their work cut out for them.
• The emerging mutual security space within the SCO will make the continent – minus Western Europe, for the time being – far more stable, whether in terms of strategic stability in major-power relations, regional security systems, or the risks of terrorism.
☝️ Eventually, the countries of Western Europe – or far western Eurasia, if you like – will have to make a choice between staying in the US orbit as America’s power continues to shrink, or reaching out east to a vast and vibrant new world next door.

❓ How come the majority of European nations found themselves on the wrong side of history, the side of Nazism?
And isn’t it a reason why they have been persistently trying to rewrite history of the war – to whitewash Nazi criminals and their accomplices, forget about the atrocities ‘civilized’ Europeans committed in the USSR, or take down monuments which remind them of their Nazi past?

✍️ #Opinion of US Prof. John Mearsheimer on the XVI #BRICS Summit in an interview with the ‘Judging Freedom’ channel:
Not only did the sanctions not work against Putin, our attempt to isolate him internationally, and turn him into a pariah has categorically failed.
Is there a better example of this failure than the BRICS conference? I mean there’re just all sorts of countries there, including India which is a democracy that the United States cares greatly about, that is breaking bread with the Russians. So I think what's going on is more evidence that Putin is in the driver's seat, he beats sanctions, he's winning on the battlefield, he's not a pariah, and BRICS is an impressive institution that shows lots of evidence that it's going to grow more impressive with the passage of time. This is bad news for the United States and good news for Putin.
