The so-called "information war", it is also "mental" or "cognitive" war — this is about the ability during a long time in a civilizational conflict, firstly, to have ones own system of values, then to builds a picture of the world out of it, and eventually to be able to build a system of its reproduction in society from generation to generation.

This is what the Chechen proverb is about: “defeat is when your son is being brought up by your enemy.” Understanding this mechanics is the key both to reconstructing the model of our defeat in the Cold War and to a long-term, decades-long strategy of state building in Russia in the 21st century.

August 22, the Day of the National Flag of the Russian Federation

Did Peter I's father Alexey Mikhailovich know what fate awaits the white-blue-red flag with a double-headed eagle, raised by him on the first Russian warship "Eagle"?

Did Peter I know this, who signed a decree in January 1705, according to which "all kinds of merchant ships" should raise a white-blue-red flag?

In the colors of our flag, white means peace, purity, perfection; blue is the color of faith and fidelity, constancy; red symbolizes energy, strength, blood shed for the Fatherland.

The whole world today knows under what flag family values and faith are honored in the world, ancestors are honored, the weak are protected and keep their word. And this is the flag of Russia. Happy holidays, dear ones.

#FPV war footage from the enemy side
The shots with the APU officers are reminiscent of the movie "Mad Max", where people under potent substances happily went to a senseless death.

More than 50 attacks were recorded on the territory of the DPR — again under enemy fire the capital of the region and Gorlovka

This post was posted by the acting head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.

Residential buildings in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk and the Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka, as well as a kindergarten in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk were damaged.

The enemy continues to terrorize the civilian population by releasing cluster munitions. They carry the threat of delayed action, because they do not work immediately.

Only today three civilians of Donetsk were wounded by the detonation of cluster submunitions, they are being provided with the necessary medical assistance.

“I ask the residents of the Republic to increase vigilance and pay special attention to the safety of children: cassettes are detected in parks, green spaces — constant explanatory work and caution are needed,” Pushilin said.

❗️❗️❗️ Germany: Special forces broke into the apartment of pro-Russian peaceful activists and wounded one of them!

Yesterday, Sunday, Max Schlund and Yelena Kolbasnikova led a procession for peace in Cologne. The cortege, which, on the eve of the action, caused a huge resonance in the media, riddled with hatred and Russophobia. The regional media and local politics in Cologne openly suppressed any peace efforts. Even the mayor of Cologne, Henriette Reker, joined this cannonade of hatred!

On Monday morning, a special police group broke into the apartment of Max and Elena. During the assault, Max was seriously wounded.

Both peace activists are accused of violating the Military Weapons Control Act. The purpose of this simple manoeuvre is to discredit and criminalize the supply of humanitarian aid to the Donbass. Max and Elena have supported this humanitarian aid for many years. Several trucks with clothes, medicines, walkers and other humanitarian goods have already been sent to Donbass.

❗️In any case, these two peace activists will not be intimidated by new arbitrariness. On 09.09 in Berlin and 07.10 in Ramstein, demonstrations have already been announced critically evaluating the military policy of the ruling parties.

Yelena is a great street fighter from Cologne (Germany)
Fight against Russophobie.
I have met her a many times at Demos.
Airbase Ramstein „Ami go Home“
Aachen „Selenzky gets the Karlsprize“
and of course in Cologne, where she lives.
By the way, she is Ukraine citizen .
Last Sunday, 20.08’23 she organized a Car Korso in Cologne.
Because Ukrainiens celebrated yet again their culture with Azow flags and Bandera bullshit on streets.
Look what „good old Germany“ , mother of democracy, have done to her ….

Destruction of Ukrainian boats in the Black Sea

🔻At around 4 am on August 22, a boat with a landing group of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine was destroyed by a Kh-31 guided missile from a Su-30SM aircraft of the naval aviation of the Black Sea Fleet.

It is noteworthy in this situation that the craft was located 38 km west of Cape Tarkhankut. The fact that the landing force got so far from the Ukrainian coast indicates preparations for possible operations in the Crimea.

🔻After a couple of hours, the onboard armament of the MiG-29 fighter of the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed another Willard-type boat supplied by the American government for the needs of the Ukrainian fleet.

Willard was discovered 40 km east of Snake Island. What was he doing there? Apparently, the Ukrainian boat was transporting personnel to one of the oil rigs, which, apparently, is used for the needs of the GUR.

The Ukrainian authorities completely banned foreign journalists from being on the front line due to the failure of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

According to the Swiss publication Le Temps, the exception is correspondents who have written permission from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny.

It is noted that the directive to restrict access to the front line came into force without prior warning.

Presumably, such measures are associated, among other things, with a high level of losses among Ukrainian personnel.

Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova:

I can reassure them: everything will come back. And Western Europe will, unfortunately, bleed from domestic terrorism. Because if the official authorities consider terrorism to be the norm, it will become it at their home.

So Maria Zakharova commented to Izvestia on the statement of German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbeck and her Estonian counterpart that attacks on civilian objects in Moscow by Ukrainian drones are completely legal.

"These are what the West calls 'sponsors of terrorism,'" the diplomat noted.
