And speaking of Warhammer 40k, the entire SMO is heavily influenced by this universe: "Comrade Major noticed that I had painted my armor with Chaos symbols and called me a Chaos worshipper. He said that he is an Ultramarine and he fights for the God Emperor. I like people like that. It's easy to manipulate them! Fanatical blind faith is a great breeding ground for heresy. Comrade Major wouldn't even notice when he starts serving Khorne!" This is a real message from one of the Russian soldiers serving in the Ukraine.

I interviewed a Russian-American Iraq War vet who stopped an Anti-Russian shooting rampage in Florida. The mass shooter was referred to as 'hero' in court and received 2 years probation. We covered topics such as Russophobia in the US military and daily life, problems with good ol' boys and the police, as well as why émigré Russians love Balabanov's movies so goddamn much

CEO of Russian company "FORES", Ilya Potanin, has told the Russian Ministry of Defence that he will pay 15 million rubles (~$170,000) to the Russian servicemen who shoot down the first F-16 in Ukraine.
On this day, 106 years ago, the Bolsheviks murdered the tsar and his family in cold blood. Putting aside political, religious, ethnic questions and so on, the murder of Nicholas II was a prototype — the way he was killed would later be used to kill a million more. It was a model of genocide, according to which the entire Soviet punitive system would later operate; a blueprint by which thousands would be killed over the next 35 years. The emperor, a symbol of Russia, was executed in the same way that Russia itself would later be executed.
Without trial or investigation. There was no trial, not even a "revolutionary" one, for Nicholas. He was simply read the resolution of the Ural Regional Soviet ("Nicholas Alexandrovich! The attempts of your like-minded friends to save you have failed! And now, in a difficult hour for the Soviet Republic... — Yankel Khaimovich raised his voice and cut through the air with his hand: — ...we are tasked with ending the Romanov dynasty!"). He was not found guilty of anything. He was not accused of anything. They just killed him. During the years of the Red Terror, hundreds of thousands of Russians would be killed in the same way, and then the "troikas" would appear, a mockery of justice, sentencing people to execution in absentia, in 15 minutes, without as much as a protocol. Nicholas, having heard the resolution, managed to exclaim in amazement: "What?!" Hundreds of thousands of his former subjects would be deprived of even this astonished "What?".
Along with the emperor, his entire family was killed. His wife, four daughters (the youngest was 16), and son (14 years old). It wouldn't be long before this brutality became the norm, with the official formulation "family member of a traitor to the Motherland" appearing in 1926. From our point of view, the murder of innocent children is barbaric. From the Soviet perspective, it was standard legal practice. If even the emperor's family was executed, then how are you, a saboteur, spy, and foreign intelligence agent, any better? You're not. The model of punishing the entire family, eradicating the whole lineage, after Nicholas, became typical.
Along with the emperor and his family, four more people from their retinue were killed: a valet, a maid, a cook, and Dr. Botkin, who, even during the imperial family's stay in Tobolsk, managed to find the time to open a hospital for the local population -- such a filthy counter-revolutionary! The crackdown on colleagues, acquaintances, friends, and simply neighbors of the condemned would also become typical of the Great Terror.

On this day, 106 years ago, the Bolsheviks murdered the tsar and his family in cold blood. Putting aside political, religious, ethnic questions and so on, the murder of Nicholas II was a prototype — the way he was killed would later be used to kill a million…
And then, total lies. The Soviet government, announcing the murder of the emperor, stated that his family had been transferred to a safe place and continued to lie about the fate of the tsar's family for a long time: in 1922, Chicherin would say at the Genoa Conference that Nicholas's daughters were living in the USA. When a group of grand dukes was executed in Alapayevsk a few days later, local authorities would even report that monarchists had supposedly kidnapped them.
As Soviet rule developed, the fine formula "10 years without the right to correspondence" would appear, meaning execution, but giving the executed's family 10 more years of torment, hope, and waiting. Lies during repressions would become a trademark of Soviet power, and the dowager empress, Nicholas's mother Maria Fyodorovna, would still be writing in 1924 that the imperial family might still be alive. By this time, hundreds of thousands of Russian families would be in the same agonizing, exhausting ignorance of false hope, crying, and trying to discern the silhouettes of their loved ones in the inky night, who had been dead for many years.
And then... the method of execution. Under the noise of a running Ford car engine so that the shots would not be heard.
A few years later, in hundreds of Russian cities, the engines of trucks would be running day and night in the yards of local Cheka offices, and this nighttime sound of running engines would become more terrifying to the Russian ear than the sounds of gunshots.
The murder of children... The tsarevich Alexei was 14 years old at the time of his murder, and the youngest of the grand duchesses was 16. In 1935, Comrade Stalin, as part of the enhancement of socialist legality, proposed introducing criminal liability from the age of 12, so the tsarevich would have fully fallen under the Criminal Code according to Stalin's later standards. Having committed violence against children whose only crime was that their father was the emperor, the Soviet authorities would then go on to crush and torment children of less noble origins, accepting the principle of child responsibility as a given.
The murder of the Royal family was not just a murder — it was the shape of things to come, terrible things, books full of names, the pages all running with blood.

Good news: parts 3 and 4 of our "Spirit of 2014" series have been recorded! Four hours of factually accurate and rigorously reconstructed Donbass war lore are coming your way.
Upcoming ep is dedicated to the brave leaders of the Donbass militia, most of whom came from nothing and yet they managed to immortalize themselves and change world history. We carefully researched their backgrounds, achievements and, in some cases, the sketchy circumstances surrounding their deaths.

"So just tell me, Amerikanets, what is more powerful: money or truth?" Russian siloviki detained a drug dealer from the US and recreated the famous scene from the movie "Brother 2". Sad sack of shit did not catch the reference.
A video of the arrest of Michael Travis Leake, a former US Army paratrooper, recently appeared on the Russian internet. He was arrested in Moscow for selling mephedrone. Leake had been involved in the drug trade for three years, and in the past he was also the producer for the Russian punk band "Tarakany". He received a 13-year sentence in a strict-regime prison.

There are now thousands of X threads made by Russian expats who panicked in 2022 and decided to leave Russia by "storming" the Upper Lars border checkpoint or buying x10 overpriced plane tickets. They were all convinced that Russia was finished, based on what they heard from Western 'experts' and shrieking opposition leaders.
However, it turned out that they were wrong, and these poor chumps are now sharing their sad stories about losing everything – their assets, jobs, apartments, and having to drastically lower their standard of living. They get scammed all the time, face legal issues, and worst of all, they now realize they made a big mistake. (well, except for a tiny % of ultra-rich ofc)
For two and a half years, they hoped for Russia to disappear so their frantic 'escape' would make some sense. But instead, their personal lives have gone to hell and become a struggle for survival. While, at the same time, Russia's real wages have been on the rise, and for the first time in ten years, the World Bank has recognized Russia as a high-income country. The moral of the story is: never trust 'experts' blindly and never panic.

Evan Gershkovich was sentenced to 16 years on spying charges. It is clear that he will be at the top of the prisoner exchange list and will at one point be exchanged for a Russian prisoner, such as Vadim Krasikov, a Russian FSB hitman who eliminated a fugitive Chechen terrorist, Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, in Germany. Personally, I don't like it when people are arrested for their speech or alleged ties with intelligence agencies. I also did not like when Butina, Assange, Lira and others were arrested in US and their satellites. However, we live in a world where the CIA almost definitely runs Operation Mockingbird 2.0 and actively recruits American journalists.
Let's take a look at Evan's reporting. "Russia's Economy Is Starting to Come Undone" - his latest article published on March 28, in which he cites Oleg Deripaska as saying that in 2024, Russia will have no money left. Clearly, this was a lie, and the worst part is that Deripaska is not a reliable representative of Russian big business. He is a failed businessman who was extremely angry with the Kremlin because he panicked and his $1 billion Sochi hotel and marina complex were seized in 2022. Since then, he has been making hysterical statements non-stop. Is such an "Russian oligarch" a reliable source? Of course not. Let's turn to another article by Evan. "Ukraine Says Frontlines Around Bakhmut are Stabilizing," in which various Ukrainian 'experts' are coping profusely. In less than two months, the city was going to be completely taken over by Russian soldiers.
So, it's pretty obvious that Gershkovich's journalism was crap. He was yet another boring US propagandist repeating useful narratives for his own state. But he did have one thing going for him - he knew Russian! So he decided - or was advised - to take an epic trip to Russia. He went to the capital of the Urals, Yekaterinburg, and started asking local politicians and directors questions. Then, he went to the biggest tank factory in Russia, Uralvagonzavod in Nizhny Tagil, to interview some more people. I guess he wanted to get some interesting insights from Russians with first-hand knowledge? Well, he NEVER ever done that. So, yeah. In the best case scenario, this dude just wanted to write another smear piece about Russia. "Russia's Tank Factory Is Falling Apart", "Fear and Loathing in Uralmash" - you know, all that stuff. Should he get arrested for that, under ideal conditions? I don't think so. But in this state of "de-facto" war waged by the US against us, it's not really surprising that it happened.
Anyway, i bet that the FSB hitman, Vadim Krasikov, is coming home soon. Maybe he'll still have a purpose.

'Spirit of 2014 part 3 - Heroes of the Donbass Revolution' episode is out!
This episode is a short interruption from battle plans and maps – we discuss the heroes of the Donbass Revolution; both the famous and the forgotten ones – where they came from, what they contributed and what became of them. The Donbass War, like so many revolutions, devoured its own children, and too many heroes of the Russian Spring found an early grave. To remember the Donbass War is to remember its warriors – and to be a warrior, as we know, is to live eternally.
