"The monk Terentiy (Dmitriev) was killed in the Special Military Operation Zone.
He was evacuating the wounded from the battlefield when a shell hit the ambulance. The Alapayevsk Eparchy of the Yekaterinburg Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church reports this with sorrow.
Before the Special Operation, Terentiy lived in Alapayevsk in the Men's monastery of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia. It was erected on the site where, in 1918, members of the Imperial family and their entourage were buried alive in a mine.
The monk volunteered to go to the Donbass in October 2022. And for an entire year, he pulled out wounded Russian soldiers from under fire.
The man of God Terentiy will be buried in the monastery in Alapayevsk."

Today's piece argues the impracticality of formal US presence in the Ukraine by instead considering the situation from a diplomatic and conspiratorial angle. By critiquing the book, "Death of a Vazir Mukhtar," M. Book makes the case that World War III is fantasy and Alex Jones got it right in 2014.

No Boots in Ukraine: Diplomacy and Conspiracy trough Griboedov and Alex Jones

I went to a couple of banks today in Russia. And i've finally experienced the first tangible effects of 1377 sanction packages
First off: the corporate etiquette is almost gone now. No fake american smiles, hot deals or anything. Bank clerks seem sincerely exhausted and out of it. A kind of a throwback to the early 2000s
I went to order a chinese union pay card, to be able to pay with my rubles for smoothies and stuff on a vacation trip. Complete chaos in this department as well. None of the three banks know the exact terms, nor they are certain if their cards will work
Alright. Screw this union pay get out of jail trick. I guess i have to buy physical dollars. A good thing is that they actually had some, unlike one year ago when most of my local banks were completely out of them
A hilarious thing is that those dollars were all a bit damaged. Not a single fresh bill. Some were torn at the side, some had stains, others had stamps or some writing on it. A cute babushka was trying to help me though and we picked the best-looking bills out of this sorry bunch
Don't think that i'm dooming or anything like that, lol. It's a story of an extremely mild inconvenience and a completely anecdotal one. But it really is the first thing that i've noticed that has changed since February 24 of 2022. All the other stuff that you've heard about is probably complete bollocks
Unstable currency and a return to the Russian corporate etiquette in the banks. It's understandable since the international banking system has cut off Russian banks and is trying its damnest to prevent us from poking holes in their defence. You're not allowed to order a smoothie in a Vietnamese resort, Nikolay! Well, that's a price that i'm willing to pay

There are two 'debates' that constantly happen in Russia. Christianity vs Islam and Russian Empire vs USSR. In most cases, they are manufactured by a special cadré of "political technologists"
It's not to say that there's no religious/ideological strife at all. But the way it usually goes down makes it clear that most of them are but an imitation of internal politics
Let me give you an example. Moscow has a sizeable Muslim population and one Mosque. Muslim diasporas want to build one more. Moscow admin picks a spot for them — which happens to be an ancient holy place for the orthodox believers. Christians rage, fiery holy war erupts in runet. What happens next? Moscow administration "gives in" to the protestors and decides to build the mosque somewhere else. Both parties have released some steam, khan Sobyanin shows great wisdom. Problem solved. Was it absolutely necessary to pick the orthodox holy lake of all places in Moscow? Of course not. You might claim that it's simple incompetence but a provocation is far more likely
Recent example. A new 1000 Ruble bill was just announced. It depicts a famous place inside Kazan's Kreml where a Christian church and a Muslim mosque stand side by side. Mosque has a crescent on top, whereas the church does not have a cross
Technically it's not wrong. Because It's not a church but an orthodox library which is located 50 meters away from the actual church. They just decided to zoom in and leave out the church with a cross
Will 1k Ruble bill portray the crescent and no cross? I don't think so. The president might intervene himself to discipline the boyars. Orthodox cross reappears on the bill right before 2024 elections
Every single year they do the same trick with USSR/Empire. They invite a panel of 10 imperial larpers on one side, 10 communist schizophrenics on the other. They start screaming, rolling in dirt, pounding ground. And you're supposed to pick a side
— Let's bring back Stalingrad!
— Goga Romanov is a rightful tsar!
Don't take it close to heart

A short guide to modern war:
1. Get the cameras rolling and let your civilians get slaughtered
2. Air gruesome footage of your dead civilians on all possible media sources
3. All of your past or future crimes are forgiven. You are now a victim who fights back against the aggressor
4. Go on the offensive. Bomb their civilians indiscriminately. Mock their deaths. Torture PoWs. Commit any amount of war crimes you want
5. When confronted, repeat step 2
Really getting sick of this format that has been going on for at least 22 years now. Can we stop pretending that armies exist just for "defence"?
Let's create civilian-free PvP zones where two armies of armed maniacs would fight it out willingly. Bring chivalry back!

Well, that was fast. This new 1000 Ruble bill with a crescent is called off
Manufacture a problem - provoke heated debates - give in to the "civil society". That's how they do it for the internal Russian discourse. HMU if you wanna hear more advanced kremlinology

There is a beautiful database with a map that shows you places of origin of various surnames that were recorded in the Russian Empire prior to 1917
I've searched random Russian last names. And here are the results for Ivanov, Putin, Viktorov, Avdeev, Kuznetsov, Lebedev, Petrovskiy
Most Russian last names can be found all over Ukraine with a notable exception of Galicia. Baltic countries in 1917 were less Russian than they are now. Eastern Poland was significantly more Russian than it is today
Check your ancestor's surnames if you have any that hail from Russian Empire

Strap in guys, because today we're diving further into the world of Peter the Great. We kick things off with a debate on Peter's extreme reforms. Then, it’s game on with the Great Northern War, featuring a Faustian Russian Giant and a high IQ Swedish volcel autist who may have invented the first RTS game. Throw in some dramatic betrayals courtesy of Mazepa, steamy escapades with Baltic comfort women, and a grand finale in Saint Petersburg, the desolate swamp-turned-Venice of the North.
