Western sanctions against Russia – is it a tomahawk or a boomerang?

READ IN FULL

👉 Key points:

🔹Western dominance is coming to an end. Under these conditions, illegal unilateral restrictions targeting undesirable governments around the world are utilized by the West as a tool to preserve its fading hegemony and, hence, wellbeing.

🔹 With almost 19,000 sanction measures implemented so far by the collective West against it, Russia has become the world’s most sanctioned country ever.

🔹Renouncing Russian gas backfired on Europe, increasing its energy costs. For 20 months since Feb 2022 Europe paid for the above €185 billion more than before sanctions came up. The main beneficiary of the situation turned out to be the USA willing to oust Russia from the EU’s energy market.

🔹 International experts recognize skews in global economy, as well as blunders in macroeconomic, energy and food policies of major Western countries as the root causes of the global food inflation, which anti-Russian sanctions policy only exacerbated. Western ‘Big Four’ accounting for 75%-90% of global agricultural trade turnover benefitted from the situation most.

🔹 Russia could escape extensive damage to its economy due to sound macroeconomic and monetary measures and the unprecedented consolidation of Russian society. The Russian economy became the largest in Europe in the GDP’s key indicator of PPP, running ahead of Germany.

🔹Collective West’s arrogance, colonial habits and lack of consideration towards other countries’ interests aren’t gone, and they will continue to dominate Western foreign policies in the nearest future. It will further tighten export control and clamp down on third parties unwilling to pursue the sanctions.

🔹 It must be understood: today Russia – tomorrow it can be any other nation the ‘neo-metropole’ is dissatisfied with. The only way to tackle these risks is complete de-colonization.
🇷🇺🇺🇸 Comment by the Russian Embassy in the United States

We would once again like to draw the attention of the public and the media to the destructive practices of the U.S. authorities in restricting official travel of the Russian Embassy within the territory of the United States. The number of State Department refusals to properly completed notification requests for official trips outside D.C. is constantly growing. Moreover, officials do not bother to explain the reasons for their decisions. Bureaucrats seem to consider it beneath their dignity to talk to us.

❗️Another fragrant case happened recently - the ban on the participation of our diplomats in the meeting of the International Grains Council on January 24 in New Orleans. With such an act, the United States clearly demonstrated that it is ready to violate its obligations as the host country of multilateral meetings.

👉 Meanwhile, obstacles to Russian presence at events that are significant from the point of view of the history of Russia-U.S. relations seem to have almost become a norm. These include visits to sites of Russian historical and cultural heritage (such as the famous Fort Ross in California) and even laying of wreaths at the burial sites of Soviet soldiers.

☝️ We call on the U.S. authorities to realistically assess the consequences of its course towards further erosion of bilateral relations. We demand a responsible approach to the host functions of international events. Russian participation in those is not only in demand by other nations, but is also necessary for making effective decisions on issues that concern the whole world.

✍️ President Vladimir Putin sent greetings to participants and guests of the event held to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 79th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau (Oswiecim) concentration camp by the Red Army.

✉️ In January 1945, Red Army soldiers liberated the Oswiecim concentration camp. The world was aghast at the horrific new evidence of the Holocaust atrocities and the tragic fate of millions of Jews, Roma, Russians and members of other ethnic groups, who had been killed for their culture, language and origins.

We will never forget the enormous pain and suffering caused by the Second World War, the irreparable price our forefathers paid for the freedom and independence of our Fatherland and for victory over Nazism and its hideous ideology, and the legal, moral and ethical verdict passed on those who were found guilty of heinous crimes against humanity.

Remembering these lessons and safeguarding the memory of the tragedy of war is a position of principle for our state, our society and the multinational people of Russia as a whole.

❗️ This memory is sacred to us.

This is why we place so much value on an active civil stance and the dedicated efforts of all those who are working to protect historical truth, establish the names of soldiers, learn what became of innocent civilians, the biographies of concentration camp inmates and the victims of Nazi butchers.

A large contribution to these considerable and much needed efforts is being made by the Russian Jewish community and, of course, by your traditional memorial events held on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

🤝 I hope that this meeting will contribute to the further consolidation of our society around the values of humanism, consensus and civil peace.

🕯 January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. #OTD in 1945, soldiers of the Red Army of the First Ukrainian Front liberated prisoners of one of the most horrible concentration camps – Auschwitz (Oswiecim) – in the course of the Vistula-Oder Offensive.

The infamous death factory was established in 1940 near the city of Oswiecim, Poland, which was renamed Auschwitz after the Nazi occupation. It was one of the Third Reich’s biggest concentration camps.

Initially, Polish political prisoners were kept in the camp. Later, European Jews, Roma and Soviet POWs were sent there as well. According to various estimates, 75 to 90 percent of its inmates were instantly killed or were subjected to inhuman experiments by camp doctors.

Auschwitz II with crematoriums and gas chambers was built in 1941 in the village of Brzezinka (Birkenau in German) just three kilometres from the first camp. In 1942, after the “final solution to the Jewish question” adopted at the Wannsee Conference, this camp was turned into the centre for the annihilation of the European Jews.

In 1944, when the Red Army started the liberation of Europe, the leadership of the death camp rushed to destroy its infrastructure and send inmates westward. About 7,500 people remained in Auschwitz. The Nazis had planned to murder them in a few days.

The Red Army approached Oswiecim after three days of fighting on its outskirts, on the night of January 27, 1945. The prisoners wept with joy on seeing the Soviet liberators. Part of the camp was turned into a recovery hospital.

▪️In total, at least 1.3 million people passed through Auschwitz during its existence, about 1.1 million of them were exterminated.

In the past few years, the memory of this great deed of the Soviet soldiers that liberated the camp’s inmates has been systematically destroyed in a number of European countries.

The accomplishment of the Soviet soldiers that liberated Europe from the Nazi scourge can never be erased.

The tragedy of the Holocaust must never be repeated.

🕯 The Siege of Leningrad was one of the darkest moments in human history.

According to recent statistics, at least 1,093,842 people died during the blockade. In 2022, the Saint Petersburg City Court recognised the Siege of Leningrad as an act of genocide against the Soviet people committed by the Nazi Germany and its accomplices.

Against all odds the people faced the hardships with unmatched bravery and unwavering resolve.

One of them — Tanya Savicheva who lost all her family during the Siege, writing a diary about her terrible ordeal. Her image and pages from the diary became one the most tragic symbols of those difficult times.

As thousands of people died of starvation during the Nazi blockade, baker Daniel Kutinen worked around the clock to feed the citizens of Leningrad and died of starvation at his workplace.

In May 1942, the local Dynamo and the Leningrad Metal Plant workers played a football match in the Nazi-besieged Leningrad, which became a symbol of the resilience of the city defenders and showed that nothing can break the will of the Soviet people.

In August 1942, Soviet composer Dmitry Shostakovich’s legendary masterpiece Symphony №7 premiered in Leningrad during the most dire times of the Nazi siege, strengthening the spirit of the people of Leningrad.

The city lived on and did not succumb to the pressure, bombings and starvation.

The Siege was lifted on January 27, 1944, during the Leningrad-Novgorod Offensive of the Red Army.

🕯 January 27 is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, established on November 1, 2005 by the decision of the United Nations General Assembly, which Russia co-authored.

On this day, commemorative events are held around the world to highlight the importance of combating neoNazism, xenophobia, racism and other forms of intolerance.

The date itself was not chosen at random - on January 27, 1945, during the Vistula-Oder Operation, the Soviet soldiers liberated the Auschwitz (Oswiecim) concentration camp. According to the available data, at least 1.3 million people passed through the camp during its existence, and some 1.1 million of them were... exterminated.

❗️ The slogan on the camp’s gate, “Work Sets You Free” (in German: “Arbeit macht frei”) underlines the utter inhumanity of the Nazi criminals and their boundless cynicism.

On that day the Red Army soldiers saved more than 7,000 prisoners left in the camp.

During World War II, ~20 million people, including approximately 7.4 million Soviet citizens, were murdered as a result of the aggression in the territories occupied by the Nazi Germany. Approximately 6 million Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis solely because of their ethnicity...

The UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/60/7 states: "The Holocaust, which resulted in the murder of one third of the Jewish people, along with countless members of other minorities, will forever be a warning to all people of the dangers of hatred, bigotry, racism and prejudice".

🗓 On January 27, 1944, the 872-day siege of Leningrad was finally lifted, marking the end of one of the most tragic episodes of the Great Patriotic War which claimed the lives of over a million Leningraders.
 
The blockade began on September 8, 1941, when Nazi troops isolated the city from the rest of the country by land. From the north, it was cut off from the main forces by Finnish troops allied with the Nazi Germany. In addition to the Finns, soldiers from Belgium, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands & Norway took part in the offensive, as well as volunteers from Austria, Latvia, Poland, France & Czechoslovakia.
 
Despite the cold, hunger & horrors of war, the Leningraders selflessly defended their city from total destruction during these 872 days and even in these dire circumstances continued producing goods & various machinery to supply the war effort against the Nazis. The incredible resilience and bravery of Leningrad residents shattered all the plans and ambitions of the Nazi invaders.
 
⚔️ A year after the breakthrough, Soviet Army managed to finally lift the siege of the city on January 27, 1944. After the success of the Iskra Operation, the situation in the city improved dramatically, but the threat remained. At the end of 1943, the Leningrad-Novgorod Strategic Offensive Operation was planned, during which Soviet soldiers liberated the Leningrad, Novgorod and part of the Kalinin (now Tver) regions, and pushed back the enemy to the borders of Estonia and Latvia.

🎖 The courage & heroism of Leningrad defenders were highly appreciated by the Motherland. Many units & formations were awarded the honourable title of “Guards”, orders & the honorary title of “Leningrad”. On the Leningrad, Volkhov & Karelian fronts, 486 people were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, including eight people who received it twice. 350,000+ servicemen on the Leningrad front alone received orders & medals.

#WeRemember and pay tribute to the heroes who stopped the Nazi plague that crippled Europe and threatened humankind.
Kiev dealt another blow to freedom of speech, revealing the Nazi essence of its regime.

📍On 4 January, a 82-year-old writer and journalist Yury Chernyshev, who criticized Ukrainian nationalism in his works, was sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property on a trumped-up charge.

📢 We call on UNESCO to raise its voice in defense of press freedom and to condemn persecution of journalists and dissidents in Ukraine.

🗓 On January 27, President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko took part in a ceremony for unveiling a memorial to the USSR civilians who fell victim of the Nazi genocide during the Great Patriotic War. The event is timed to the 80th Anniversary of breaking the Siege of Leningrad.

💬 President Putin: January 27 is one of the most important dates in our shared national history. On this day in 1944, Red Army soldiers completely lifted the Siege of Leningrad. A year later, in 1945, they liberated Auschwitz.

<...>

For eight decades now, our pain for the victims, for the shattered destinies, and for everyone who endured incredible ordeals has not subsided. Our compassion is passed on from generation to generation and has #NoStatuteOfLimitation, just like the crimes of Hitler’s fanatics and their accomplices, those who cold-bloodedly planned and cruelly carried out the genocide of the Soviet people.

🕯 The massacres of unarmed and defenceless elderly people, women, children, and disabled were deliberate, systemic punitive acts.

<...>

We are witnessing a disturbing trend where the outcomes of the Nuremberg trials, which unequivocally condemned Nazism, are being revised. Some countries not only rewrite history and exonerate the executioners: revanchists and neo-Nazis have embraced the Nazi ideology and methods.

• Tens of thousands of people in the Baltic states are labelled “subhuman,” stripped of basic rights and persecuted.

• The Kiev regime glorifies Hitler's followers and members of the SS and uses terror against dissenters. Barbaric shelling of peaceful cities and towns persists, and the killing of the elderly, women and children continues.

• Some European countries endorse Russophobia as a state policy.

❗️ We will do everything in our power to halt and eradicate Nazism.

The followers of Nazi executioners are doomed. Nothing can deter the desire of millions of people in Russia and across the planet for true freedom, justice, peace, and security.

📽RT Documentary "Ukraine's Arms Barons. Who is behind the ongoing weapons trafficking in Ukraine?"

🇺🇦Ukraine has been known as a major hub for the global weapons black market since the USSR collapsed.

How does this weaponry make its way out of Ukraine?
Who's pulling the strings behind the scenes?
How is the whole trafficking operation orchestrated?

⚜️When the Time of Troubles was over, the Romanov dynasty began to rule the country taking active steps in lawmaking. In the mid-17th century there was a need to adapt orders and legislation to new socio-political system.

🗓️On January 29 (February 8), 1649 the Zemsky Sobor (gathering of representatives of the whole Russian society) adopted a new code of laws of the 🇷🇺Russian state — the Council Code of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich (Sobornoye Ulozheniye). Being the main achievement of the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, this grandiose and impressive in its scale and full in terms of legal elaboration legal act for more than two hundred years remained the most developed code of 🇷🇺Russian laws, until 1832.

🇷🇺 The Russian Embassy in Latvia continues to tell stories about Russian pensioners who following implementation by Riga of discriminatory amendments to the law “On Immigration” have lost their residence permits, have been left destitute and are under the threat of deportation:

• Today's story is about 71-year-old spouses from Riga, who suffer from congenital deaf-mutism and have permanent disability;

• being law-abiding citizens, in accordance with migration law, promptly started re-issuing a residence permit;

• however, even having all the necessary documents confirming the status of a disabled person, as well as a certificate of graduation from a school for the deaf, the elderly couple didn't manage to overcome bureaucratic barriers and obtain a medical exemption from the Latvian language exam;

• as a result, as expected, they did not score the required number of points in such sections as speaking and listening;

🚫 due to the failure to pass the exam, the Russian citizens had their permanent residence permit revoked, and received letters with prescription to leave the territory of Latvia;

• as a result, the married couple, who found themselves in an “illegal” situation, have lost access to social benefits, banking services, as well as free medical care in Latvia;

❗️all these atrocities occur despite the explanations of the UN Human Rights Committee, which clearly state that the deportation of people who have lived in the state for more than 10 years is unacceptable without compelling reasons.
