⚠️🇨🇦 For many decades, the Canadian authorities have pursued a policy of justifying and glorifying #Nazism.

By openly supporting the Nazi regime of #Kiev in the international arena, and, even more so, by increasing military aid, they trample on the memory of the exploits of Canadians who fought against Nazism and fascism in the anti-Hitler coalition.

It is telling that in 2022-2023, the Canadian delegation voted against the draft resolution "Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the escalation of contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance", introduced annually by Russia together with other co-sponsors, in the #UN General Assembly.

❗️Canada became a "haven" for Nazi war criminals and their accomplices from various Waffen-SS units and collaborators. In this country, such individuals were granted permanent residency and then citizenship. Canadian authorities shielded them from justice and prevented their extradition to other countries for prosecution.

📖 Read the report by the Russian Foreign Ministry regarding the situation with the glorification of Nazism and the spread of Neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.

📆 83 years ago, when #Nazi forces were in the close vicinity of #Moscow, a legendary fight at Dubosekovo railroad station took place which went down in history as the feat of the 28 Panfilov’s men.

On 16 Nov 1941, Nazis launched a new assault on the #Soviet capital expecting to bring the blitzkrieg to a victorious conclusion by the end of the year. In the morning that day, after a preliminary artillery shelling the Wehrmacht’s 2nd Tank Division attacked the units of the Red Army’s 316th Rifle Division led by Major General Ivan Panfilov.

The 4th and the 6th companies of the 2nd battalion of the 1075th regiment took the brunt of Nazi offensive. Having ran short of ammunition, both companies showed unparalleled courage against superior enemy’s forces and repelled several tank attacks with remaining grenades and Molotov cocktails. The Panfilov’s men withstood the Nazi onslaught for 4 hours while the reserves came to cover the capital.

☝️ During the battle, 18 German tanks were destroyed, but almost all Soviet defenders laid down their lives.

🌟 It was during the battle of Dubosekovo that the commander of the 4th company V.Klochkov said the legendary phrase “Russia is vast, yet there’s nowhere to retreat – Moscow is behind us”.

❗️A list of 900 alleged #Nazi war criminals who fled to #Canada after World War II could remain secret as federal officials in Ottawa come under increasing pressure to censor the records because they could prove embarrassing to this country.

For decades, Jewish groups have called for the release of the second part of the Deschênes Commission report, the result of a near two year inquiry conducted in the mid-1980s that studied claims Canada had been a safe haven for Nazis.

👉 The first part of the report, which determined that alleged Nazi war criminals were indeed admitted to and residing in the country, was released to the public in 1986. The second part, with the list of their names, has been kept under lock and key for nearly four decades.

☝️ However, the issue came into public attention in 2023, after an international scandal when Prime Minister Trudeau, President Zelensky, and members of Canadian parliament gave standing ovation to a Nazi war criminal YaroslavHunka, member of the volunteer SS ‘Galicia’ division during World War II.

🇷🇺The Russian rail system is one of the largest in the world. Given the vastness of Russia’s territory, train journeys are commonly measured in days, rather than in miles or kilometres.

Trains serve almost every town and city in Russia. Railroad travel is a safe, comfortable and inexpensive way to get around.

Check out the most picturesque railroad routes in Russia, according to ‘Russia Beyond.’

🚃 Trans-Siberian Railway

The world's longest railroad is also the most scenic and picturesque. For a whole week, the train travels from Moscow to Vladivostok across the entire country, crossing 8 time zones, with the scenery and time zones constantly changing beyond the window.

🚃 Vorkuta – Labytnangi.

This railroad above the Arctic Circle is part of the ambitious ‘Soviet Transpolar Mainline’ (‘BAM’) project, which was never completed. It links the largest northern cities of Vorkuta and Salekhard and runs right along the northern part of the Ural Range. The mountains there are low, often without peaks, covered with snow almost all year round and surrounded by tundra.

The train travels slowly and you'll have about 10 hours to admire the rugged beauty of the Polar Urals.

🚃 Circum-Baikal Railroad.

It was built at the beginning of the 20th century to connect the western and eastern parts of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Today, it has become one of the most popular tourist routes in Russia.

The railroad goes around the southern part of the lake and passes through 38 tunnels cut into the rocks. Overall, the journey will take approximately five hours.

🚃 Adler – Rosa Khutor.

It takes less than an hour to get from the Black Sea coast to the famous ski resorts. The modern ‘Lastochka’ electric train operates between the two regions.

Sit by the window, because, this way, you will see picturesque views of the Caucasus Mountains, the Mzymta River and the ski lifts.

🚃 Tuapse – Adler.

If you prefer sea views, take a train ride from Tuapse to Sochi and Adler. Right along the Black Sea coast is a railroad line connecting the Adler Olympic Park to the city of Tuapse. The trip takes about 2.5 hours.
