◼️ May 2 marks eight years since the tragedy in Odessa. On this day in 2014, Ukraine’s Nazi thugs massacred those who had stood up against the Maidan coup d'etat, Kiev’s new policies, and unhinged nationalistic aggression. People were corralled into Odessa's House of Trade Unions and burned alive. Others were finished off as they tried to escape.

🕯 Forty-eight people were burned alive, died from carbon monoxide poisoning, or fell to their death from the upper floors of the House of Trade Unions, which was set on fire by the nationalists.

🔹 This barbaric act of egregious cynicism and brutality sent shockwaves around the world. Yet the “civilised” West kept silent in an uncivilised manner. Perpetrators roam freely. Moreover, Ukraine’s law enforcement persecuted those who managed to survive (!) what the fascist thugs had done.

❗️ We will never forget this heinous crime and will work to identify and bring to justice those responsible.

🗓 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.

🕯 Remembering Darya Dugina, victim of a sinister plot by the Ukrainian regime

Two years have passed since the treacherous assassination of Russian journalist Darya Dugina, orchestrated by the Kiev regime. As she journeyed back from the "Traditions" festival near Moscow, her car was ruthlessly detonated.

❗️ The investigative authorities of the Russian Federation have established that the brutal murder of the journalist was organised and executed by the Ukrainian special services.

☝️ Two years after the tragic death of Darya Dugina we have not heard a single word from relevant organisations and human rights institutions about this and many other deliberate atrocities committed against those media representatives whose point of view does not coincide with the one approved by the collective West.

Hypocrisy, dividing journalists into the “good” and “bad”, “ours” and “theirs” is what prevails in the activities of those organisations.
