Large social disasters, which are quite possible to attribute the situation in Russian society after the start of the so -called “special military operation” in Ukraine, often stimulate the strengthening of migration moods. A shock from a large -scale social shock, the collapse of a familiar lifestyle, a general sense of uncertainty, and sometimes fear for life encourages many to leave for other countries in search of, if not the best fate, then at least a safe shelter.

Publishing House "Scribes" releases the novel-biography of Sarah Kaminski "Adolfo Kaminsky, falsifier." The protagonist of the book was engaged in the fake of documents for most of his life. When the Second World War began, he, miraculously avoiding deportation, entered underground and, risking his life, masterfully made false papers to save the Jews. And after liberation, he helped the survivors to move from Europe to Palestine. His daughter Sarah wrote down his first person story.

On May 9, 2022, during the celebration of Victory Day in the cities of Russia, one could observe an extremely surreal picture of what was happening - portraits of veterans of the Great Patriotic War were adjacent to photographs of soldiers who died in Ukraine and images of Stalin; The symbols of the new propaganda Z and V were everywhere, which entered into a strange and sometimes terrible dialogue with the surrounding holiday.

In Russia there are tens of thousands of refugees from Ukraine. Some of them are trying to leave from there to the countries of Europe or Transcaucasia, the other remains at temporary accommodation points. Both those and others are helped by Russian volunteers. One of the informal leaders of this movement in St. Petersburg is the bishop of the Apostolic Orthodox Church, a member of the human rights Council of St. Petersburg Grigory Mikhnov-Vyatenko.

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, congratulating veterans on Victory Day, did not mention the word about what was happening in Ukraine - did not say about the ideological heirs of the Nazis, did not hint at the hostility of the West, did not call to rally around Vladimir Putin; I just congratulated on the holiday and that’s all, somehow I could avoid words mandatory these days.
