• In the Sverdlovsk region, a deputy was mobilized, who won local elections from the military commissar two months ago.
• In Voronezh, a crematorium closed due to sanctions: it is impossible to repair the furnace.
• The Kaluga Philharmonic plays an immersion performance, during which the spectators “take hostage” Ukrainian special forces.

Military reports

On Tuesday night, the Russian army intensively fired at the manganese and Nikopol districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region and some areas of the Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions; In the afternoon, Kramatorsk fell under the Russian shelling. Emergency shutdowns of electricity continue throughout Ukraine.

The situation on the fronts does not change : in the Donetsk region there are fierce battles along the entire front line, in the Lugansk Ukrainian army continues a slow attack on Svatovo ( here is a report from this section of the front), and under Kherson it was as if nothing to be judged objectively. If you believe the messages of the occupying authorities, then the Ukrainian army storms Snigirevka, Nikolaev region, located 55 km from Kherson. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are not commented on in any way, and the Ukrainian political scientist Kirill Sazonov, who is now fighting with the rank of ordinary in the Kherson direction, talks about the inconspicuous masses of Russian mobilized, constantly storming Ukrainian positions, despite tremendous losses. Which of the parties will be more profitable for the “forced strategic pause”, which seems to come on the fronts, is told here .

British military intelligence claims that Russia is building fortifications similar to the “Wagner line”, not only in the Lugansk region, but also in other occupied territories, including around Mariupol. The Russian FSB reported on the detention in the occupied part of the Kherson region nine citizens of Ukraine, who allegedly planned terrorist attacks against members of the occupation administrations.

The British television channel Sky News reports with reference to a source in the special services that at the end of August Russia paid with Iran for the first batch of drones by sending 140 million euros and samples of Western weapons captured in Ukraine: the British anti-tank missile NLAW, the American anti-tank missile system Javelin and anti-aircraft missile Singer complex. Cooperation, obviously, will be continued, because the Secretary of the Council of People's Commissars of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev arrived on an visit to Iran.

Whether the DPRK is able to supply ammunition and weapons to Russia, here is explained by a specialist in the North Korean Army, Fedor Tertitsky (Spoiler: is capable - and will be very happy to pay in dollars or euros).

From Russia, the war looks different

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced the start of payments by mobilized and explained their order. Against this background, the “dialogue” of the military, mobilized and their relatives with the regional authorities continues:

• The governor of Primorye Oleg Kozhemyako published a video in his telegram, in which people in masks (according to him, these are the marines of the 155th brigade and fighters of the Tiger battalion, who are near Pavlovka, Donetsk region), with changed voices, say that “the detachment is holding the system, the brigade is fighting.” These videos should refute the previously published appeal of Primorsky marines, in which they complain of huge losses during a “incomprehensible offensive” in the Pavlovka area. Mobilized mothers from Primorye in a present -time interview tell completely different, sad stories and urge mothers throughout Russia to “rise”.
• The Governor of the Oryol Region Andrei Klychkov responded to mobilized, complaining of bad equipment, briefly and clearly: "If someone does not like it, buy it yourself."
• In Kursk, the relatives of the mobilized, who were sent near Svatovo, go to the building of the military prosecutor’s office and the regional administration for two days in a row with the requirements to save their loved ones with the advanced. Their loved ones, who found themselves in the Luhansk region, complain of outdated weapons and huge losses and refuse to go “slaughter”.
• Relatives of the mobilized residents of Voronezh recorded a video message demanding to return their relatives from Svatov to the military unit. The Russian BBC service confirmed the reports of large losses among the mobilized from the Voronezh, Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions in the Makeevka area on November 2. Some of the survivors after mortar shelling left with the advanced and took refuge in an empty house in Svatov: there they are going to shoot from both the approaching Ukrainian army and from the Russian military police, which is trying to return them to the front line, and the refuseniks bring them to the basement in the village of Zaitsevo (the “layout” found at least 19 mobilized from the Moscow Region).
• The agency reports with reference to the Union of the Committee of Soldiers' Moers that several of their mobilized Omsk region were sent to the Luhansk region, where Wagner was included in the PMC along with recruited prisoners.

Mobilization continues: in the Sverdlovsk region, a deputy was mobilized , who two months ago won municipal elections from the local military commissar, in St. Petersburg the agenda came to the “missing” sailor from the Moscow cruiser. At the same time, the court in Bashkortostan canceled the mobilization of 23 employees of the Beloretsky Metallurgical Plant: they received summons, but did not go to the military registration and enlistment office, but instead filed claims that supported the management of their enterprise.

Putin awarded the title of Hero of Russia to the priest Mikhail Vasiliev, who was killed in Ukraine, he became famous for participating in different armed conflicts and a statement that many children's mothers are easier to reconcile with the death of their children at the front.

In Russia in 2022, a record outflow of migrants from Armenia, Kyrgyz and Uzbekistan was recorded , and the Russians set a record for departments to Central Asia. In Switzerland, three Russians were asked from mobilization - these are the stories of two of them.

The history of the war

The Flagshtok publication tells about the smartphone of the political commander from Buryatia found in Belarus. The study of photographs and correspondence discovered there allows us to conclude that preparations for the full -scale invasion of the Russian army to Ukraine from the territory of Belarus were actively carried out in 2021.

Mstislav Chernov and Evgeny Shkolletka, journalists of the Associated Press, tell in a large interview of this time , as the destruction of Mariupol was documented. They removed the consequences of the airstrike on the Mariupol maternity hospital, but left the day before the Russians bombed the drama theater, where civilians took refuge.

In Russia, its own military history:

• The Kaluga Philharmonic showed the "immersion performance of military operations in the Donbass" called "Polite people." During the presentation, actors in the form of Ukrainian special forces take the audience hostage, shoot from hunting weapons, and one of the spectators “kill” behind the stage. The creators of the performance wanted the audience to "literally sniffed gunpowder" and plunged into the atmosphere of what the inhabitants of Donbass experienced for eight years. The main role was played by a participant in the so -called police of the so -called “LPR”.
• But the war in the minds of Russians has been going on for more than 80 years: an “interactive open -air museum” dedicated to the history of the defense of Moscow was held on Red Square, Putin came there , twisted the propeller of the old aircraft and listened to the “sacred war” performed by the choir of men in military uniform. During the august visit, Red Square was blocked, Putin was accompanied only by security, several journalists and a museum lady.

Russian life (and a little Belarusian)

• On the 67-year-old resident of Novouralsk, the Sverdlovsk region drew up the seventh protocol under the article on the "discredit" of the Russian army-now for the repost of the anti-war poem. An administrative case was introduced to a linguistic examination conducted by the local department of the FSB. This document, in particular, says that the "expression" is not eternal "means that V.V. Putin is not immortal and will certainly die."
• In Voronezh, a crematorium closed -a broken furnace of Czech made cannot be repaired due to sanctions.
• In Moscow, a search was held by the nationalist Dmitry Demushkin. According to the data that has not yet been confirmed, the search is connected with the criminal case under the new article of the Criminal Code on the “public calls for the implementation of activities aimed against the security of the state”. Previously, he was already sentenced to 2.5 years under the article on “extremism” for photographs from the Russian march.
• Here are an interview with people who know the Moscow activist Mikhail Krieger, who was sent in a pre -trial detention center for “justification of terrorism” in the Facebook post of two years ago. Everyone agrees that the “justification of terrorism” is only an occasion for frankly political persecution.
• In Yekaterinburg, the FSB detained after a search of the left activist Mikhail Erokhin. He will be judged by the administrative article on the distribution of the prohibited anarchist article (the magazine in which it was published was found at his house). In connection with which they conducted a search, it is not yet clear.
• In Russian universities, from the new academic year, the course “Fundamentals and Principles of Russian statehood” will appear , developed by the long -standing friends of Kiriyenko by comrades Kharichev and Polosin. The authors say that the course should create a “value core” with students, which will be perceived as an axiom: in order to understand the “significance of the Russian state”, they knew why “we must appreciate and protect this most important institution”, felt “the uniqueness of our statehood, our experience in the fight against external invaders, community experience and so on.” In schools and colleges they return the initial military training, and they want to instruct the veterans of a “special military operation” to teach this discipline.

From the non -person:

• In the Kostroma region, the Mi-2 sanitary helicopter fell : the patient who was taken to the hospital died, and two crew members and two health workers were injured.
• In Moscow, a 67-year-old woman who suffered when attacking a school in Izhevsk died on September 26. The number of victims, thus, grew to 18 people.
• In St. Petersburg, 50 searches were held with owners and bars on Rubinstein Street. They are suspected of deceiving drunken customers. According to the results of the searches, more than 40 people were detained , a lot of money and equipment were seized.
• State Duma deputies ask the Prosecutor General to recognize Greenpeace as an “unwanted organization”.

In Belarus:

• Police officers detained a man, on the number of the car of which they saw traces of the rejoicing coat of arms "Pitty". The "repentant" video with him was published by a pro-government telegram channel.
• Read about the victims of Lukashenko’s struggle with raising prices here . On October 6, he announced in a speech the “divided chicken” that prices should not rise, and on October 19, the Government of Belarus canceled this ban. In the interval between these dates, dozens of criminal cases of raising prices were instituted, and the accused will have to sit for anything.

International Echo of War

• Kiev advocated the extension of a grain transaction, the term of which ends in a few days. The President of Ukraine, during a meeting with a permanent representative of the United States at the UN Linda Thomas-Grinfield, emphasized that the food initiative should be preserved regardless of the will of Russia, and the deputy minister of infrastructure of Ukraine Yuri Vaskov complained that Russian inspectors are intentionally slow down the work of the grain corridor, spending only 12 inspections a day (on the day that Russia refused to participate in the transaction, the UN Turkey managed to hold 40 inspections).
• The supply of raw oil from Russia by the sea reached a five -month maximum on the eve of Western sanctions. Here is the analysis from which it follows that from the beginning of the war the European Union spent three times more money on oil and gas from Russia than to support Ukraine. True, the annual review of the International Energy Agency states that the war in Ukraine will significantly accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources.
• DER Spiegel magazine and ZDF television channel report that the gas condensate, which the German concern Wintershall Dea produces in cooperation with Gazprom, could be used for Russian military aircraft, including in the war with Ukraine. The concern rejects all the accusations, but it is known that the German government is conducting some difficult negotiations with its leadership, the details of which are not disclosed.
• In the offices of the Swiss UBS Bank in Frankfurt and Munich, searches were searched in the case of Alisher Usmanov. The Federal Prosecutor's Office of Germany suspects Usmanov of tax evasion, violation of the law on foreign trade and laundering of money. The German authorities consider Usmanov to be their tax resident, since before the war he lived for a long time in his residence on Lake Tegernze in Bavaria.
• Nokia requested from the United States and Finland a license for deliveries to Russia to fulfill contracts. The services of the company are used by the largest Russian telecom operators. About a year after receiving these licenses, Nokia will complete its obligations to customers and completely leave Russia.
• What Russia can lose in the Far North as a result of the war that it unleashed in Ukraine is told here .

Everything else

• Shortly before the start of the World Cup, which will be held this year in Qatar, the former FIFA president Zepp Blatter admitted that the choice of this country was a “mistake”. Blatter claims that the current championship was supposed to pass the United States, but the then President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, asked the then President of UEFA Michel Platini to vote for Qatar, which Platini did. Six months later, Katar bought from France fighters $ 14.6 billion.
• The vocalist and founder of the Nazareth group Dan McCafaferi died . He was 76 years old.
