📰 Russia's Consul General in Cape Town Alexey Malenko's interview with Cape Argus (January 22, 2024)
Key talking points:
🇷🇺🇿🇦 The outgoing year was marked by the South African BRICS chairmanship and the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Cape Town within its competence has done its best to successfully implement the ideas of South African partners and strengthen bilateral ties between our states.
• Consistent work on strengthening relations between Russia and South Africa continued in 2023. Among other things, a number of agreements on cooperation in space were reached.
• From the very beginning of the escalation [between Ukraine and Russia] South African government took a well-balanced stance. It deserves only strong respect. Despite attempts made by Western countries to destabilize our bilateral cooperation, H.E. Mr Cyril Ramaphosa, President of the Republic of South Africa, and H.E. Mrs Naledi Pandor, Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, never abandoned its original principles. This fact only emphasized friendly spirit of Russian-South African relations, which only strengthened during the BRICS events.
☝️ Unlike NATO, BRICS is not a military and political bloc, but rather resembles a club of like-minded people united by the idea of establishing a more just world order.

🎞 126 years ago, on 22 January 1898, Sergey Eisenstein was born, one of the world’s leading film directors, whose contributions to cinema theories still remain the subject of great interest and debate today.
He is known throughout the world as the “father of montage cinema” having introduced this new kind of film language as early as 1924.
📹 In his first full-length feature film “Strike” (1925) he showed a group of factory workers shot down, with the scenes of their deaths intercut with the depiction of cattle at the slaughter. Parallel images had a serious emotional impact on viewers.
👉 Eisenstein’s most famous film “Battleship Potemkin” (1925), the story of one of the tragic episodes of the 1905 Russian Revolution, remains one of the most fundamental landmarks of the cinema. Its famous massacre on the Odessa Steps has been quoted so many times in other films (Brian De Palma’s “The Untouchables,” Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather”, Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards”) that it's likely many viewers will have seen the copies before they see the original.
☝️ Eisenstein believed that film should educate rather than just entertain. When on a tour in Hollywood he realized that his artistic approach to cinema was incompatible with that of American studios focusing on profit. None of his three projects were put into production.

Extermination of the Russian population is ok according to Harry Tabach, the former chief of staff of the NATO military mission in Moscow.
👉🏼 A retired captain of the first rank of the US Navy believes that all means are good to defeat the enemy, so Kiev does not need to be “ashamed” of striking civilians.
He even dares to make a parallel to the dropping of atomic bombs by the Americans on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which served to “extinguish aggression with even greater aggression”.
❗️ Utterly cinical, yet not new. #Kiev began striking the civilian population even before the start of the special military operation, shelling the cities and villages of #Donbass for eight straight years.

⚡️ Ukrainian media: Men of military age in Ukraine are refused medical treatment without a certificate from the mobilisation office.
It mainly concerns planned hospitalisations in public hospitals. In the list of documents to be collected by the patient, military registration is more and more often included. And if there is no such paper, doctors refuse medical care under any pretext.
☝️ Kiev regime continues to turn Ukraine into a country without people.

Excerpts from the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's statement at the UN Security Council meeting, New York, 22 January 2024:
🔹 The Russian Federation has launched a special operation not against Ukraine or the Ukrainian people, but against the criminal regime in Kiev.
🔹 The West is pushing Ukraine with manic persistence to continue the armed confrontation.
🔹 The Kiev regime is "in agony".
🔹 It is clear to most experts that a peaceful settlement in Ukraine is being hindered by the West's support for the Kiev regime/
🔹 The West is carrying out a profitable "business project" in Ukraine for itself, and is also “disposing of junk” from weapons.
🔹 The corrupt Zelensky regime resells some of the weapons supplied by the West on the black market.
🔹 Biden and the British leadership consider the support of Ukraine against the Russian Federation an "excellent investment".
🔹 The West in Ukraine is cynically waging war against Russia, which it wants to "put in its place".
🔹 It’s time for sensible Europeans to wake up and understand that with the help of the Zelensky regime, the United States is not only waging war against the Russian Federation, but is also solving the strategic task of sharply weakening Europe as an economic competitor.
🔹 The United States is deliberately blocking any attempts to conduct an honest investigation into Nord Stream, and the EU has resigned itself to public humiliation.
🔹 Russians and Ukrainians live in Crimea in peace and harmony.

🇷🇺❤️ On January 23, the flame of the family hearth "Heart of Russia" will be lit on the Main Stage of the Russia Exhibition, which will travel to all regions of the country.
The Terentyev family will bring the lamp with the fire from the Holy Trinity Monastery in Murom, where the relics of Saints Peter and Fevronia are kept.
👨👩👧👦 Mikhail and Ekaterina have been married for 25 years and are raising six children. "This year is the 25th anniversary of our life together, it is the most wonderful time in our lives," shared Mikhail Terentyev.
🕊 The Day of Saints Peter and Fevronia (July 8) is the Day of Love, Family and Fidelity that the whole country celebrates. And Murom has long been called the capital of this bright holiday – every year tens of thousands of tourists and pilgrims come to the city.
🇷🇺 It is also symbolic that the ceremony will be held during the All-Russian forum "Family – Beloved", which launched the Year of Family, previously announced by President Vladimir Putin.
"Heart of Russia" is a heart-shaped installation in front of which a family hearth will be lit. The ceremony will be attended by family dynasties from all regions of the country, representatives of key sectors of the economy and social sphere.
👉 The Terentyev family will pass the flame to a couple from Crimea who recently celebrated their Ruby Wedding – Pavel and Tatiana Kuznetsovy who have been together for 40 years.
🕊 🕊 From the family hearth flame will be lit in 12 more lamps, which dynasties will deliver to Moscow, the Republic of Crimea, Yakutia, Kuzbass, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Republic of Tatarstan, the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, Volgograd region, the Komi Republic, DNR, LNR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. Then the fire of the family hearth will be spread to all regions of the country.

⚠️ NATO has started its biggest military exercise in decades.
It will last for 4 months and around 90,000 troops will participate in the drill, rehearsing how U.S. troops could reinforce European allies in countries bordering Russia if a conflict were to flare up with a “near-peer” adversary.
☝️ NATO is back to the Cold War schemes and mindset (was it ever over?), and insisting on resolving everything with force, bullying their way through the world.
❓So, who is threatening who?
