ITREP Banderistão, por Faina Savenkova
Faina Savenkova – 26 de setembro de 2022
Há três anos venho falando sobre o que está acontecendo em Lugansk. Sobre a guerra em que vivo, sobre tristezas e alegrias. Há um ano, o site Peacemaker [em ucraniano Mirotvorets, que significa “Pacificador”. Basicamente uma lista da morte, trata-se de um site com dados de milhares de pessoas antipáticas ou opostas ao regime nazista de Kiev. Aparentemente hospedado por servidores instalados na “democrática” e “iluminista” Europa – nota do tradutor] publicou meus dados pessoais. Escrevi muitas cartas para líderes mundiais e artistas de países ocidentais. Eu tinha apenas dois pedidos: excluir os dados pessoais de todas as crianças do “Pacificador” e ajudar as crianças de Donbass a encontrar uma vida pacífica para que não fôssemos mortos. Quando o confronto com o “Pacificador” começou, meus amigos jornalistas ucranianos me perguntaram por que eu não escrevi uma carta para Zelensky, mas apenas o mencionei em uma entrevista. Naquela época era difícil para eu responder. Eu ainda acreditava ingenuamente que poderia haver paz entre a Ucrânia e Donbass e que o Secretário-Geral da ONU Guterres e a UNICEF, como organizações de renome mundial, me ajudariam. Mas, infelizmente, eu estava errada. Tudo o que pedi foi ignorado por essas organizações, e a Ucrânia decidiu que poderíamos ser capturados à força. Meus esforços e sonhos permaneceram sonhos. A única coisa que me deixa feliz é que não escrevi para Zelensky naquela época. E agora eu entendo o porquê: você não pode escrever e pedir para não matar crianças para alguém que dá ordens para bombardear Donetsk, Gorlovka, Alchevsk e outras cidades. Você não pode escrever para um presidente que envia milhares de seus soldados para a morte sem poupá-los, dá ordens para atos terroristas e o assassinato de crianças. Você não pode escrever para o presidente que começou este massacre e perdeu metade de seu país. Você não pode escrever para um perdedor. Todos os dias crianças morrem em Donbass, Kherson e Zaporozhye. E ele tem apenas a si mesmo para culpar. Um presidente que vai perder tudo…
Bem, e quanto à UNICEF, a ONU, e a Anistia Internacional? Eles disseram alguma coisa sobre as crianças mortas pelo exército ucraniano? Não, claro que não. Eles reagiram da mesma forma à história do Pacificador. Eles sabem. Mas eles permanecem em silêncio ou expressam “preocupação”. Eles estão em silêncio sempre e em todos os lugares. Quando os filhos da Iugoslávia, Síria, Palestina, Afeganistão, Iraque e Líbia foram mortos, eles ficaram em silêncio. E se essas respeitadas organizações fecham os olhos para o brutal assassinato de crianças, elas têm algo a dizer sobre a história do “Pacificador”? Eu acho que não. Afinal, segundo a UNICEF e a Anistia Internacional, somos as crianças erradas, nascidas e morando no lugar errado. Um dos meus ensaios diz que os filhos da guerra se comportam em silêncio porque os adultos não os ouvem. Eles são. Infelizmente, nós, crianças, não estamos interessados nesses adultos. Nós não somos como eles. Eles parecem pensar que não há problema em nos matar, eles só precisam fazer isso em silêncio para não incomodar os outros com nossos gritos de socorro. Lamento que isso esteja acontecendo. Lamento que o país em que nasci esteja bombardeando e tentando destruir tudo o que me é caro e tudo o que amo, sob o sorriso de aprovação de quem pode, mas não quer parar esta guerra. Infelizmente, todos aqueles que ajudam a Ucrânia não percebem que a guerra está chegando até eles, mas não querem parar esta guerra.
A maioria das pessoas comuns nos Estados Unidos e na Europa desconhece as atrocidades do exército ucraniano, o bombardeio brutal e a morte de civis. As pessoas são informadas de que estamos atirando em nós mesmos ou que o exército russo está atirando em nós há oito anos. Aparentemente, é por isso que esperávamos que a Rússia viesse aqui em 2022, certo? Esta é uma realidade diferente.
Mas tenho certeza que nem sempre será assim. A verdade vai vencer de qualquer maneira.

Roger Waters added to Ukrainian govt-sponsored hit list
Deborah Armstrong·August 25, 2022Russian political analyst Daria Dugina, who was killed in a car bomb explosion in Moscow on Saturday, now appears as “liquidated” on the Ukrainian online hit list. The site was created under the watch of the Minister of Internal Affairs.
This article was originally published by Deborah L. Armstrong at Medium.com
Editor’s note: The IP address of Mirotvorets has been traced to a server in Brussels, Belgium.
I have written about the Ukrainian hit list known as Mirotvorets, or “Peacekeeper,” twice before. The first time was in this article about internet censorship, and the second time was when a 13-year-old Ukrainian girl, Faina Savenkova, was added to the list for publicly speaking out against Kiev’s bloody war on Russian-speaking civilians in the eastern part of Ukraine, a region known as the Donbass.

Mirotvorets is a database which lists thousands of journalists, activists, and anyone else who is declared an “Enemy of Ukraine.” Their personal information is published, such as the addresses of their homes, their phone numbers and bank account numbers; anything that can help them be easily located. When the people on this list are murdered, like Italian journalist Andrea Rocchelli was, the word ЛИКВИДИРОВАН, “LIQUIDATED,” written in Ukrainian, is stamped across their picture in big red letters.
And, as of August 22, Daria Dugina, who was killed in a car bomb explosion in Moscow on Saturday, appears as “liquidated” on the website, adding more credibility to Russia’s assertion that she was assassinated by a Ukrainian nationalist who rented an apartment in the building where Daria lived in order to surveil her prior to her killing. It is believed that she was killed because her father, Alexander Dugin was referred to as “Putin’s brain” and “Putin’s spiritual guide” in western media, though these claims are really just more speculation.

It seems that almost anyone can be added to this kill list. Even Henry Kissinger’s name is on the list despite his long history of Russophobia. But since he dared to air his concerns about how the US is teetering toward war with Russia and China, Kissinger, who once suggested dropping nuclear bombs on Moscow, is now declared an “Enemy of Ukraine.”

Really, so many people have been added to this list that it has now become a badge of honor among those opposed to Ukraine’s regime, when they are included on the Mirotvorets site.
Filmaker Igor Lopatonok is targeted by Mirotvorets because of a film he worked on with Oliver Stone.

Why this site is allowed to operate is a good question. But you can access it easily, and even donate money to help the “cause” – if you are sympathetic to Nazis and think that assassinating people for their opinions is a wholesome way to support Ukraine.
Here is Roger Waters’ profile:
Roger Waters’ profile on Mirotvorets.
The co-founder of “Pink Floyd” is known for his support of imprisoned Wikileaks’ creator Julian Assange, and for his opposition to imperialism and war, as well as for his awesome music, loved by millions around the world.
Waters recently referred to Joe Biden as a “war criminal” on CNN, and said that Biden is “fueling the fire in Ukraine.”
“This war,” the musician stated, “is basically about the action and reaction of NATO pushing right up to the Russian border, which they promised they wouldn’t do when [Mikhail] Gorbachev negotiated the withdrawal of the USSR from the whole of Eastern Europe.”

Waters also said that Crimea belongs to Russia, because the majority of people living on the peninsula are Russian.
The rock star’s views have outraged the pro-NATO crowd and their Nazi friends, as well as the social justice warriors who froth at the mouth in support of whatever the mainstream media declares to be “the current thing.” Waters, who has always been something of a dissident and anti-war, the way all rock stars used to be when rock and roll was still real, is attacked mercilessly by the “woke” crowd, who are intolerant of all who are not in lockstep with their views.
Several screen prints of articles denouncing Roger Waters.
Social justice warriors to the rescue! Roger Waters is smeared for his dissident views.
An investigation by the Russian Foundation to Battle Injustice reveals the names of the individuals, corporations and government entities which are believed to be the “organizers, sponsors and curators of the Ukrainian nationalist website.” While Mirotvorets is easily accessible to anyone who likes that sort of thing, this Russian human rights organization is blocked on major social media platforms like Facebook.

Investigators say that the hitlist, which was created in 2014, is supervised by the public organization “Mirotvorets Center,” which is headed by Roman Zaitsev, a former employee of Ukrainian special services, and by the public organization, “People’s Rear,” headed by George Tuka, a Ukrainian statesman and public figure. The site is also controlled by the Security Service of Ukraine and was created on the initiative of Anton Gerashchenko, the advisor to Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs. Gerashchenko faces charges of terrorism in the Russian Federation for his creation of the hitlist.

In its early days, Mirotvorets published the names of so-called “Russian separatists” (residents of eastern Ukraine) who oppose the Maidan coup and believe it was economically unwise to break off relations with Russia. But later on, the site began publishing the personal data of public figures, journalists, activists and even children.
Mirotvorets became infamous following the murders of two Ukrainian public figures in 2015, whose private information was published on the website. Oles Buzina, a 45-year-old writer and journalist, and Oleg Kalashnikov, a 52-year-old deputy of Ukrainian parliament, were killed just a few days after the publication of their home addresses.
In May of 2016, Mirotvorets publicized the personal data of more than 4,500 journalists and media representatives from around the world who had received permission to work in the territory of Donbass. Investigators say that Mirotvorets’ administrators hacked the database of the Ministry of State Security of the Donetsk People’s Republic and gathered the phone numbers, email addresses and home addresses of foreign journalists whom Mirotvorets accuses of “collaborating with terrorists” because they are covering the war from territories not under Ukrainian control.
The journalists began receiving threatening phone calls and emails and experienced an increase in cyber-bullying and harassment on social networks. The government of Ukraine issued a statement that it had found no violations of the law in Mirotvorets’ actions, even though the human rights organization, “Committee to Protect Journalists,” condemned the site’s doxing of thousands of journalists working in eastern Ukraine.

The US State Department confirmed that the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs was connected to the website, and acknowledged the publication of the journalists’ personal data, but the US government has taken no action to block the website, although many Russian websites and alternative news media have been blocked by social media giants for publishing information about the war in Ukraine which does not line up with official narratives.
And what’s more, there are companies in the US which cooperate with Mirotvorets and provide the website with information.

An analysis of the site’s network protocol by the Foundation to Battle Injustice found that the database uses the technological services of a company in California. And, if you look at the main page of Mirotvorets, you will see the address “Langley County, Virginia.” There are posts on the site from accounts which have names of western intelligence agencies: CIA, FBI, NATO, MI5, NSA.
Who are these people, really? Photo: Foundation to Battle Injustice
Andrew Weisburd, an American intelligence analyst, publicly announced his cooperation with the Ukrainian government in January 2015, around the time when Mirotvorets began publishing the personal data of journalists. Weisburd stated, “I’m just trying to do my part to help make bad things happen to bad people who are in the service of the Kremlin. And for the record, I’m not an army of one. I’m more like a one-man intelligence service.”

According to George Eliason, an investigative journalist who has been living in the Donbass for several years and writes for Consortium News, Joel Harding is another American who was involved with the creation of Mirotvorets. Harding is a self-proclaimed “information operations expert” who says he is a former US Army intelligence officer and that he was a senior advisor at NATO. Harding developed a cyber-support strategy to oust Russian media from the Ukrainian information field and, according to Eliason, he wanted to control what news and information Ukrainians have access to on social networks, the internet and television.
Investigators from the Foundation to Battle Injustice say they have sources and evidence connecting a group of cyber-activists known as “Ukrainian Cyberalyans” to Mirotvorets, and the group is accused of participating in attacks on Russian government and news websites, including the Russian Ministry of Defense, as far back as 2016. The intelligence data gathered from hacking those websites was reportedly handed over to Ukrainian police and special services. Investigators believe that the “Cyberalyans” worked under the leadership of Dmitry Zolotukhin, a Ukrainian media expert.

A group of programmers which the Foundation says was involved in the creation of Mirotvorets has been collecting regular donations to bolster Ukraine’s participation in the “information war” since 2020. Their names are Artem Karpinsky, Andrey Baranovich, Alexander Galushchenko and Andrey Pereveziy. Though the programmers say they only received a few thousand dollars, data on transactions related to the group’s crypto wallets indicates the receipt of more than $100,000, according to Foundation investigators.
Under the guise of crowdfunding, investigators say, Mirotvorets receives considerable financial assistance from anonymous donors in the west. Virtually anyone can donate to the site, but the site’s most likely sponsors are Ukrainian nationalists living abroad and people associated with western intelligence agencies who have enormous amounts of taxpayer money at their disposal.https://thegrayzone.com/2022/08/25/roger-waters-ukrainian-govt-hit-list/

Faina Savenkova – Il y a beaucoup d’enfants talentueux dans le Donbass et nous voulons tous la paix
19/09/2022
Quand Alexandre Kontorovitch et moi avons commencé notre petit projet, nous étions en 2020. Je suis venue pour la deuxième fois au festival Étoiles au-dessus du Donbass à Donetsk et, dans le cadre du festival, nous avons visité plusieurs écoles. Nous leur avons parlé du travail créatif et avons discuté avec les enfants. Deux ans et demi ont passé. J’ai commencé à communiquer beaucoup avec les enfants de Russie et, au cours de cette communication, j’ai compris que beaucoup de mes pairs ne savent pas ce qui se passe dans notre pays et pourquoi. L’année dernière, nous avons donc décidé d’aller à l’école Balabanova n°5. Une année a passé. L’opération militaire spéciale de la Russie pour protéger le Donbass a commencé.
De nombreuses personnes créatives ont commencé à venir nous voir dans le Donbass, un grand nombre de personnes sont inquiètes et nous aident. Eh bien, autant que je le peux, je parle de la vie des enfants dans le Donbass en visitant les écoles russes.
Cette fois, nous avons visité l’école n° 5 de Balabanovo avec un nouveau livre, comme d’habitude. Nous avons parlé aux enfants et aux enseignants que nous connaissions. Il y a eu beaucoup de questions et je suis heureuse qu’il y ait autant d’enfants écrivant dans cette école. Merci à Marina Berejneva, à la directrice et à tous les enseignants.
Et le jour suivant, nous étions déjà à Lipetsk. Dans le cadre de la présentation de nos nouveaux livres, nous étions au Gymnase #19 de Lipetsk. Le temps s’est écoulé sans qu’on le remarque. Il y a eu beaucoup de questions intéressantes, et nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis. Merci pour cette rencontre.

Quand Alexandre Kontorovitch et moi avons commencé notre petit projet, nous étions en 2020. Je suis venue pour la deuxième fois au festival Étoiles au-dessus du Donbass à Donetsk et, dans le cadre du festival, nous avons visité plusieurs écoles. Nous leur avons parlé du travail créatif et avons discuté avec les enfants. Deux ans et demi ont passé. J’ai commencé à communiquer beaucoup avec les enfants de Russie et, au cours de cette communication, j’ai compris que beaucoup de mes pairs ne savent pas ce qui se passe dans notre pays et pourquoi. L’année dernière, nous avons donc décidé d’aller à l’école Balabanova n°5. Une année a passé. L’opération militaire spéciale de la Russie pour protéger le Donbass a commencé.

Faina Savenkova – For me, Mirotvorets is just a website run by criminals who stir up hatred between peopleThe inclusion of Faina Savenkova, a 12-year-old child, on the Mirotvorets website has caused a great stir around the world. Many people have spoken out, but I wonder what the young writer and playwright, who recently celebrated her thirteenth birthday, thinks. Immediately, we have to say that Faina has spoken much more correctly than her elders in the other camp. But judge for yourself.
Faina, your inclusion in Mirotvorets caused an international scandal. How did you feel about having your name on this site? How did you feel at first?
Hello Denis. The feelings are a bit contradictory. I know that the contact details of many of my friends are on this site. And it’s funny in itself when you are perceived as someone who threatens the “security of humanity”. I feel like Darth Vader. Other than that, of course, it’s the height of inhumanity and anarchy. I’m in grade 8, and this is not the first year we’ve been taught “social studies”, where we study society and, among other things, the basic rights of people.
Furthermore, I was taught since childhood that you should never give your address or phone number to strangers. This is the basis of any child’s safety and I think all parents say the same thing to their children. At least they should.
And at the same time, there are websites that publish your details and those of your relatives. It’s just horrible. We were taught at school that guilt has to be proven in a court of law, but it turns out that this is not true everywhere. There are people who, for whatever reason, have decided that they are above the law of their state. And also that anyone who thinks differently from them is an enemy.
At first I was, of course, very surprised, but then I was upset. Now I take it calmly and my only wish is to say that Mirotvorets is just a fraud, using people’s feelings and beliefs for its own purposes. You know, it’s like in the Middle Ages: if you didn’t like somebody – a slipped-in hint to the Inquisition about links with the devil and that’s it – that person won’t go back home. Nobody will look at it, they all burn the same way at the stake.
What makes me most angry is not the fact that I was put on this database, but that they broke several laws of their country.
What struck you most about the concept of Mirotvorets?
What struck me most was that the people working on this site are making up fakes and have no idea what they are writing about. After all, a normal person, after reading all this disgusting stuff, will search the internet, find out a little bit about the person and realise that everything written on Mirotvorets is a lie. In my post at the beginning of the story, I explained everything and put it in its place. There is even a fairy tale accusation in there. Let’s not even mention the accusation of being both a propagandist and a victim, that’s still nothing. According to the site’s version, I was put there for participating in the Donetsk Science Fiction Festival and writing a book with Alexander Sergeyevich Kontorovich (this was mentioned in an article on the Glavkom site). This is not a very relevant accusation, but everything seems to be fair and just. I have two questions for the morons at Mirotvorets: if you put me on your site for this, then why did you do it on 9 August 2021? At the time, the book ‘Those Who Stand Behind Your Shoulder’ had not yet been released, and the festival was held at the end of September 2021. There must be some visionaries working in it. Or the usual liars. And if it’s for my participation in the same festival in 2019 and 2020, the accusations are even more surprising. Why didn’t they add me right away? There were no accusations in 2019 and 2020? There weren’t, were there? Excuse me? At the time, I repeat, the 2021 festival had not yet taken place and so what does that have to do with anything?
What can you say about the people who wrote this? Why did they do it?

What can you say about the people who wrote this? Why did they do it?
I think they didn’t think it through. When information about people is put on Mirotvorets, some people are usually proud and others keep quiet to avoid getting into trouble. One can understand everyone. In my case, it is much easier: I don’t perceive Mirotvorets as something intimidating. And pride… Well, I don’t know. To me it’s just a website run by criminals who stir up hatred between people. And criminals should be punished. That’s all. That’s why I didn’t keep silent and wrote an appeal letter to the UN, UNICEF and the Ukrainian president. A website that substitutes itself for the court and the state, that deceives and calls for violence is repugnant to everyone. That is why I am also supported in Ukraine.
How did things develop afterwards, your attitude towards them?
Events evolved quickly. Many people were surprised and shocked that at the age of 12 I was listed as an enemy of Ukraine. UNICEF, the media, politicians in Europe, Russia and Ukraine responded, and I thank them. After all, I am not the only one there, many other children are there too. By the way, despite this interview, I would like to ask you not to call me a “victim of propaganda”, because I am not calling for war, but only writing about the need to stop the war.
But in general, of course, I am glad that the problem has been brought to my attention. I repeat: the criminals must be dealt with. Many people say that all this is just politics and they only see “the enemy of Ukraine and humanity”, some people think that my cat is funny in one of the photos (I hope it has already been removed), others think that this is a PR campaign and that there is nothing wrong with entering the Mirotvorets site.
But everyone forgets the most important, but not the most obvious: a child’s personal data is in the public domain. Not scary, you say? Who will agree to provide all those who have committed crimes against children with the photos, address and telephone number of their children and grandchildren? Not many people would want that, would they? And by providing data, Mirotvorets is precisely helping to commit such crimes. So I am very happy that UNICEF is reacting.
You have been accused several times of hating Ukraine. Is this true?
We can debate this for a long time, but my answer is this. If I were a “Kremlin janissary”, as Zaytsev called me in his response on behalf of Mirotvorets, I wouldn’t have so many friends in Ukraine. There would have been no statements and no interviews after all. As you may remember, my essay “On the Victory of Children’s Laughter” appeared on Ukrainian channels as early as the summer of 2020, there is even a translation into Ukrainian. Moreover, this support would not have been possible because of the situation with the website. It’s hard to support someone who hates you.
Do you think that those who created and support Mirotvorets love Ukraine?
I don’t know if they love Ukraine or not. For me, love is when you do something good for the person you love. But Mirotvorets only causes scandals and shows Ukraine to the world as a state where the law does not exist and where all those who disagree are hated. And it is absolutely not possible to replace the courts with such sites.
Why do you think that Mirotvorets, despite the international scandal, cannot be closed down, but that national TV channels can be closed down without a court decision or even a clear accusation? To what extent is this in line with European standards?
I am not a politician and it is difficult for me to talk about this. I think it’s just fear. I think they are already not afraid of people finding out the truth, they are afraid of admitting that they are wrong. That’s why they don’t want unnecessary reminders.
How should your story with Mirotvorets end? What do you want to say and wish for the Ukrainians on the other side of the border?

I don’t know how the story with Mirotvorets will end, all I know is that I am right. I have no hatred towards Ukraine or anyone else. I have many friends in Russia, Ukraine and Europe. I hope it will continue like this. Of course, people have started to try to portray me as evil incarnate, a tool of the Kremlin, but this is all so ridiculous. But it’s probably more convenient for these people. It’s always difficult to admit mistakes, it’s easier to blame someone else for all the bad things. Even if it’s a child.
And first of all I would like to wish you peace and health. To all of you!

Faina Savenkova 13-year-from Lugansk on "kill list" of Ukrainian government
Faina Savenkova, a 13-year-old resident of the Lugansk Republic was placed on the Myrotvorets (Peacemaker) "kill list" of the Ukrainian government after she issued a call to the United Nations for an end to the war she has lived through since 2014. Meera Terada also provides background on Myrotvorets in the killing of many journalists and doxxing of hundreds of children, and to identify the Ukrainian officials and public figures behind the disturbing website.
In fact, hundreds of children are on the hit list targeted by this psychological operation of the Ukrainian government. Is this the sort of country NZ should be supporting? Democratic countries allow opposing voices and do not strike terror into the hearts and minds of children.
