✍🏻September 8, Day of the Siege of Leningrad and Donbass liberation Day

📃🔥The ring of Nazi troops around Leningrad closed on September 8, 1941.
According to the Fuhrer's plan, after the capture of Leningrad, this city "must cease to exist"
The blockade has lasted a terrible 872 days - until January 27, 1944.
About 1 million people died, including more than 600 thousand because of hunger.

📃🔥 Donbass operation began on August 13, 1943 with the offensive of the South-Western Front troops of the Soviet army. They crossed the Seversky Donets and advanced along the right bank of the river. On August 16, the troops of the Southern Front broke through the German defenses, and already on August 18, the battle for Saur-Mogila began.

On September 1, German troops began to retreat along the entire front in the Donbass. On September 8, the Red Army liberated the regional center - Stalino. By the evening of September 14, 1943, the entire territory of the Donetsk region was liberated from the Nazi invaders.

Inauguration of restored Saur-Mogila monument

Saur-Mogila (277.9 m) is one of the highest points of Donets ridge located to the east of Donetsk. From July to August 1943, there were fierce and sanguinary battles for this legendary highland. Soviet warriors succeeded in breaking Nazis' resistance, captured the highland and consolidated there. Once the war finished, a grand monument was installed there to conmemorate the heroism of Red Army's soldiers and commanders.

◽️ In seven decades, Saur-Mogila happened to suffer explosions and bloodshed again. In summer 2014, it was the place where descendants of the heroes entered a new battle against the followers of Nazi ideology. Within two months, from July to August, a group of warriors from Donetsk people's militia had been holding this highland by repelling fierce attacks launched by Ukrainian Armed Forces. The defenders of Donbass suffered a hurricane of artillery shelling, drew fire on themselves when the enemy was assaulting the tumulus. The battles have resulted in militia's victory. However the memorial was gravely damaged and almost destroyed.

🏗 Russian Defence Ministry's Military Construction Complex and Russian Military-Historical Society restored the stele, four pylons, as well as the Soviet warrior's figure with a fragment of the sculpture destroyed by Ukrainian nationalists inside. Restorers honoured the memory of the heroes and saved the connection of the times...

Second life and eternal memory: shots of the restored Saur-Mogila from a bird's eye view.

The builders assembled bas-reliefs from the rubble, like a mosaic. In addition, three new pylons were installed, which depict the feat of the modern defenders of Donbass. The opening of the complex took place today. An eternal flame was lit on Saur-Mogila, a particle of which was brought from Moscow.

Ukrainian attacks suffer from the same deficiencies as the early Russian pushes from the north.

They are charging across roads with stretched supply lines, this means while they make progress it is both fragile and lacks depth.

◾The Ukrainian conflict was orchestrated just the same way it was orchestrated 20 years earlier in Yugoslavia by the same demons from US.

We were publishing a lot on the death of Elizabeth II, some people did not appreciate it, especially our attitude. Well, we still believe, that she was a very important stabilising factor, especially in the foreign policy of the UK. Her first Prime Minister was a certain Winston Churchill... Since then every week British Prime Minister was reporting to the Queen. Well, she did not have any formal power, but is it not a form of counselling? The PM had a chance to understand, what actually he/she is doing, while explaining it to Elizabeth... We are sure, that she had means and reasons to guide her PMs in a Direction. She was a real monarch. Charles can do the best thing he can - to abdicate in favour of William, but he will not. William and Kate are capable of maintaining the "Firm". Charles and Camila - not. Monarchy in UK is a beautiful (and expensive) artefact that UK still can afford. However, it looks, like it is coming to an end. On that we will close that topic (on our channel).

What is happening at Balakleya in the past couple of days.

There is a certain anger at many Russian patriotic channels about that ⬆️⬆️⬆️ situation. Well, generals in Moscow may not worry about just a company (about 100 soldiers) of RossGuards who were supposed to police Balakleya, but had to defend it against a serious offensive (by some sources - 9000 troops) of the Ukrainian Army.

Generals don't do companies and battalions. It is so well familiar from the epoch of the Soviet Union and even Russian Empire... However, can they say it in the face of the wives and family members of those involved? Or in a face of those local residents who were helping their own people by cooperation with the Russian administration? Ukrainians have already called for "cleansing" "filtering" operation.

Yes, we are a propaganda channel, but for intelligent audience, so we are not trying to hide obvious failures.

Attention. Translated from an Ukrainian channel (why not Russian MOD???)
Putin will hold an emergency meeting with members of the Russian Security Council.

According to preliminary data, the reason for such promptness was the threat of encirclement of Russian Army in the Kharkiv region.

OK, back to manual control and handling of the situation... Can they do something on their own?

Eventually Russian MOD started doing something...

Ukrainian guard is filming his own death.
"Who are you? Where are your yellow bands? Who are you coming to replace?" Shots fired. End.
