Oleg Tsarev -

"I will continue the topic of permits for civilians to carry weapons.

Pre-revolutionary Russia was one of the freest countries in the world in terms of opportunities to purchase firearms. “In the XIX-XX centuries. the introduction of the right to arms to Russian citizens can be considered a progressive phenomenon, since... it did not exist in all countries. It is safe to say that in the Russian state the right to arms was an inalienable right of every law-abiding and mentally healthy citizen. From 1649 to 1914, a coherent legislative system was formed in the Russian state, which avoided the extremes of permissiveness, on the one hand, and blanket prohibition, on the other,” the researchers write . I will add that since the beginning of the twentieth century, it was possible to purchase military firearms with the permission of the governor.

A good modern example is Israel, where terrorist attacks in the form of executions regularly occur and the issue of arming civilians has long been resolved. An acquaintance from Jerusalem writes that in the center he constantly sees people in civilian clothes and with machine guns. At first the stereotype worked: a man in uniform with a machine gun is a soldier, and in civilian clothes he is a bandit, but everyone looked peaceful, and he got used to it.

At the same time, reports regularly come from Israel about the elimination of terrorists by armed civilians, while news about the abuse of weapons in everyday life or local political squabbles has not been encountered. Israel has a big problem with the infantilism of young people. In order for boys to grow up to be men, they are forced to give them weapons and force them to carry them with them everywhere - even to the movies, even to the beach. They walk around with weapons and get used to them.

Jerusalem, which Israel has declared its capital, is considered an area with a high terrorist threat, so it is easier for the average citizen to purchase weapons than in a number of populated areas. Although after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, there were fewer restrictions on purchasing weapons at the place of residence. Other criteria are as follows: no criminal record, state of health, a police interview (after October 7, it can also be completed by telephone), shooting training (and subsequently regular retraining), knowledge of the language and annual payment for a license. The license costs 67 shekels (approximately 1600₽).

True, military weapons themselves are not cheap, but since 2018, sergeants and officers of the Israeli army, when leaving the reserves, received the right to keep their service weapons without paying for a license and a number of other control measures. Since in Israel the service period is 32 months, and the rank of sergeant is obtained after 18-20 months of service, a huge number of people can take weapons home, because in practice, conscription coverage in Israel is greater than in any of the countries where the army is recruited by conscription.

Reserve military personnel also store weapons in Switzerland, which is considered one of the most armed countries in the world, and the law regulating the acquisition and storage of weapons is one of the most liberal in the world. Switzerland is generally one of the most peaceful countries, and the weapons of its inhabitants in no way interfere with this.

In the United States, the right of citizens to own weapons in the United States is enshrined in the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution, and citizens have more personal small arms in their hands than in half of the world's armies. In 43 out of 50 states, you don’t even need a license to purchase a “barrel”; in 23, open carry is allowed. The vast majority of states have a “Stand-your-ground” law, which allows a person to defend himself when attacked, including killing the offender.

The general principle is this: the higher the terrorist threat, the easier it is for an honest citizen to obtain a weapon. The state not only allows, it encourages citizens to purchase and carry weapons. A terrorist is always armed. The task of the state is to give an honest citizen the opportunity to protect himself and others - not to be a defenseless victim. Some steps in this direction should be taken in Russia."

Продолжу тему разрешения на ношение оружия гражданскими лицами.

Дореволюционная Россия была одной из самых свободных стран мира в плане возможностей приобретения огнестрельного оружия. «В XIX—ХХ вв. представление гражданам России права на оружие можно рассматривать как прогрессивное явление, поскольку…существовало далеко не во всех странах. Можно с уверенностью говорить, что в Российском государстве право на оружие являлось неотъемлемым правом каждого законопослушного и психически здорового гражданина. С 1649 по 1914 г. в Русском государстве сформировалась стройная законодательная система, избежавшая крайностей вседозволенности, с одной стороны, и поголовного запрета — с другой» — пишут исследователи. Добавлю, что с начала ХХ века приобрести боевое огнестрельное оружие можно было по разрешению губернатора.

Хороший современный пример — Израиль, где систематически случаются теракты в виде расстрелов и вопрос вооружения гражданских давно решен. Знакомый из Иерусалима пишет, что в центре постоянно видит людей в штатском и с автоматами. Сначала срабатывал стереотип: человек в форме с автоматом — солдат, а в штатском — бандит, но вид у всех был мирный, и он привык.

При этом из Израиля регулярно приходят сообщения о ликвидации террористов вооруженными гражданскими, тогда как новости о злоупотреблении оружием в быту или местных политических разборках не встречались. В Израиле большая проблема с инфантильностью молодежи. Для того, чтобы мальчики росли мужчинами им силой всучивают оружие и заставляют его носить всюду с собой — хоть в кино, хоть на пляж. Ходят с оружием — привыкают к нему.

Иерусалим, который Израиль объявил своей столицей, считается местностью с повышенной террористической опасностью, поэтому рядовому гражданину легче приобрести оружие, чем в ряде населенных пунктов. Хотя после атаки ХАМАС 7 октября 2023, ограничений в приобретении оружия по месту проживания стало меньше. Иные критерии следующие: несудимость, состояние здоровья, собеседование в полиции (после 7 октября его можно пройти и по телефону), стрелковая подготовка (а в дальнейшем регулярная переподготовка), знание языка и ежегодная оплата лицензии. Лицензия стоит 67 шекелей (примерно 1600₽).

Правда, само боевое оружие вещь недешевая, но еще с 2018 года сержанты и офицеры израильской армии, выходя в запас, получили право оставлять у себя табельное оружие без оплаты лицензии и ряда других контрольных мер. Поскольку в Израиле срок службы составляет 32 месяца, а сержантское звание получают после 18-20 месяцев службы, оружие могут взять домой огромное количество людей, ведь на практике охват воинской обязанностью в Израиле больше, чем в любой из стран, где армия комплектуется по призыву.

Военнослужащие запаса хранят у себя оружие и в Швейцарии, которая считается одной из самых вооруженных стран в мире, а закон регулирующий приобретение и хранение оружия один из самых либеральных в мире. Швейцария вообще одна из самых мирных стран, и оружие у ее жителей никоим образом этому не мешает.

В США право граждан на владение оружием в США закреплено 2-й поправкой к конституции, и личного стрелкового оружия на руках у граждан больше, чем в половине армий мира. В 43 штатах из 50 для покупки «ствола» даже не нужна лицензия, в 23 разрешено открытое ношение. В подавляющем большинстве штатов действует закон «Защищать свою территорию»(Stand-your-ground), позволяющий человеку при нападении защищать себя вплоть до убийства обидчика.

Общий принцип такой: чем выше террористическая угроза, тем проще получить орудие для честного гражданина. Государство не просто разрешает, оно стимулирует граждан к приобретению и ношению оружия. Террорист всегда вооружен. Задача государства дать возможность честному гражданину защитить себя и окружающих — не быть беззащитной жертвой. Какие-то шаги в этом направлении стоит делать и в России.

‼️WARNING! UKROP FALSE FLAG AHEAD‼️

The beige line is the percentage that DISAPPROVE. Poll taken about one month ago. Some interesting info - First, where TF is "democracy" if the majority of people don't approve of their "leaders"? Second, Europeans hate their rulers even more that normal, decent US citizens hate Biden, and third, there are still 46% of idiots 💩in the uSA who are still stupid enough to approve of Biden 🤡and his masters' work. Incredible. Read 'em and weep... Meanwhile, in Russia, Putin gets 85% approval!👍🤠

In an incredible turn of events, a Soviet cartoon from 1969 comes to life in Paris in 2024, during the inauguration of the Olympic Aquatic Center of all places, with frog-in-chief Macron in attendance.

The current wave of drone attacks will have a limited effect on the Russian industry and economy. Drone attacks do not destroy entire refineries and usually do not even destroy individual units, but only damage them, unlike World War II air raids by hundreds of bombers. The Ust-Luga and Ryazan refineries were both back in operation a few weeks after being attacked. Strikes against Russian refineries create financial losses for Russian oil companies, but do not hurt the state budget and have little impact on Russian export earnings. The needs of the Russian armed forces and the primary needs of the Russian economy for fuel can be satisfied by factories that are out of reach of Ukrainian drones.

If the scale of the drone attacks is maintained at the levels of March and Russian air defenses do not improve, Ukraine will be able to keep damaging Russian refineries faster than they can be fixed, slowly but steadily eroding the country’s refining capacity.

Russia’s refining throughput is 5.5 million barrels per day, while domestic consumption is less than half of that. The country produces twice as much diesel as it needs and is a major exporter of the fuel, while the gasoline surplus capacity before the attacks was 20–25 percent. The recent attacks managed to take out about 15 percent of gasoline production, but it is still within the range of that in recent years.

Forty percent of Russian oil refining is beyond the reach of Ukraine’s new weapons. Even if Ukraine succeeds in completely shutting down every refinery within its reach, there will be enough capacity in the Urals and Siberia to meet Russia’s needs for diesel, marine fuel, and fuel oil. In this scenario, there will be a 20–30 percent shortage of gasoline, which could be covered by imports from Russia’s ally and neighbor Belarus. Without those imports, a shortage of that size might have an impact on private consumers, but would still leave more than enough fuel for industry, agriculture, and the armed forces.

But the landmass that serves as a defense shield also creates logistical problems. The damaged refineries serve the surrounding regions, and replacement fuel has to be transported long distances. There are two major product pipelines carrying fuel from the Urals and Siberia to the Baltics and the Black Sea that alleviate the problem to some extent, but distributing the fuel around European Russia will put additional stress on the country’s already overstretched railroads.

❗️Today is the anniversary of the first victories of the Normandie-Niemen pilot detachment, created in 1942, which fought against Nazi Germany. Like their ancestors, the fighters of the detachment under the command of Sergei Munier, a French citizen, fly drones and attack Ukrainian troops. He was born in Lugansk but moved to France where served as an officer in the French army, then returned to Russia. Since 2014, he has been fighting against Ukrainian fascists in Donbass. He decided to address the French public by calling to remember the friendship of France and Russia and the fact that the French soldiers that Macron will send to Ukraine do not need to die for the interests of Washington. According to him, true French patriots are fighting alongside him. They understand that Russia is fighting for its existence and for traditional European values, which are also threatened in France. He also notes that the French and Russian people have common enemies: the United States, Great Britain and the globalists.

Союз свастики и тризуба.

Характерная обложка 80-летней давности и характерное сочетание трызуба со свастикой. Вот источник вдохновения для сегодняшних, гм, реконструкторов

What drugs were found in the liquidated fighters of the 73rd naval center of the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine?

The following psychoactive and narcotic drugs were found in the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine:
- Atropine has been approved in Ukraine for the treatment of mental illness since 2017. It is acceptable to use it as a tranquilizer, but this is a dubious practice, because the drug causes hallucinations and is useless in combat;
- an antidote for chemical shipments. It works as a depression suppressant, as well as "discourages" the feeling of fear and is a powerful painkiller at the same time.

All preparations have fresh production dates and are produced mainly in Poland.

It would seem that why would the enemy have kits with him that will help prevent intoxication of the body?
Perhaps the enemy is preparing to use BOWS against our guys, because no other means help him turn the tide of events in all sectors of the front.

Back in the First World War, there were often cases when poison gases were used before the offensive. Sometimes fate played a cruel joke: if the wind changed direction, the advancing army became a victim of the gas used. It is this problem that Ukrainians are going to solve with Polish kits.

Recommendations to the guys: do not forget about the PPE and remember the RCBZ.

Какие препараты найдены у ликвидированных бойцов 73-го морского центра ССО ВСУ?

У солдат ВСУ были обнаружены следующие психоактивные и наркотические препараты:
- атропин — разрешён на Украине для лечения психических заболеваний с 2017 года. Его допустимо использовать в качестве транквилизатора, но это сомнительная практика, т.к. препарат вызывает галлюцинации и бесполезен в бою;
- антидот при химических отправлениях. Он работает как подавитель депрессии, а также «отбивает» чувство страха и является мощным обезболивающим одновременно.

Все препараты имеют свежие даты изготовления и произведены в основном в Польше.

Казалось бы, зачем врагу иметь при себе наборы, которые помогут предотвратить интоксикацию организма?
Возможно, противник готовится применить БОВсы против наших парней, т.к. больше никакие средства не помогают ему переломить ход событий на всех участках фронта.

Ещё в Первую мировую войну часто бывали случаи, когда перед наступлением применялись отравляющие газы. Иногда судьба играла злую шутку: в случае, если ветер менял направление, наступающая армия становилась жертвой применяемого газа. Именно эту проблему украинцы собираются решать польскими наборами.

Рекомендации парням: не забываем про СИЗ и вспоминаем РХБЗ.

Archangel Spetsnaz (https://t.me/rusich_army) a highly credible Telegram channel with over 1,100,000 subscribers and links to RF MoD, reports ukrop nazis now being found carrying atropine injectors.
Atropine is an antidote for nerve gas. NATO/ukrop nazis have already used CW in this war.

The atropine is not to protect them from a Russian gas attack, but to protect them from potential "blowback" when the nazis use poison gas against Russian positions. I have been warning about the dangers of chemical and biological weapons use by our enemies before. In fact, they have ALREADY used both chemical and biological weapons in this war. So far, on a small scale, but t would be extremely unwise to think they wouldn't do it again.

“Live as best you can, there is no need to despair. Don't wish bad things on anyone. In March we will talk about women, May 1 is Spring Day, then summer, then autumn again. And so, slowly, we will go quietly, if there is no war. And if there is a war, we will win, and everyone will get what they deserve.”

Two years ago a Prophet died. Eternal memory 🙏☦️

This man was a true Russian Patriot and Prophet. A man after my own heart. I was heartbroken when he died before he could have seen the completion of the SMO and reunification of the 3 Slavic sisters.
