Political prisoner Mikhail Kriger asks those who remain at large to mark the 24th anniversary of the "Ryazan exercises." To remember the series of terrorist attacks that began the second Chechen war and the full-scale Chekist revenge. (https://www.svoboda.org/a/pervoe-prestuplenie-putina-mihail-kriger-o-ryazanskom-sahare-/32595768.html)Mikhail and his associates distributed materials of independent investigation of apartment building explosions, and held a "Day of No Trust" every September.

This two-minute video can serve as an ideal illustration of the yet-to-be-written works of social psychologists and anthropologists on the nature of racism. Moscow, Ostankino, December 18, 2010. Filmed by Dmitry Borko and Stepan Shpyakin.

The exiled "opposition" leaders refused to coordinate guerrilla actions. The best people of Russia are looking for an opportunity to help Ukraine and are falling into a trap.

A protest action on Chistye Prudy a week after the "five-day war": anti-war activists naively call for "implementing Sarkozy's peace plan not in words but in deeds" - it was this plan that allowed the occupation of Georgian territory to be normalized. Filmed by Dmitry Borko.

15 years ago: the invasion of Georgia, the first successful and unpunished aggression of Putin's Russia against a sovereign state. Who then called a spade a spade, who came out to protest? (Below are a couple of statements from our archive.)The liberal opposition babbled about the "damned ambiguity"; its leftist allies in the fragile "Other Russia" coalition applauded the invasion.

The crime chronicles of Russian regions are full of exploits of "SVO veterans". Most often these are former prisoners recruited into "Wagner", who survived and were pardoned.

Russia continues military and non-military provocations in the Black Sea. A cruise ship with Russians came to Batumi for the second time in 5 days. There are protests in the port again.

The city was taken by the Wagnerites without a fight. Prigozhin holds two generals hostage there - Gerasimov's and Shoigu's deputies. Meanwhile, amazing scenes are playing out on the streets of Rostov-on-Don.

The show trial was planned last summer. Over the course of a year, the rashists have slowed down. They cancelled the "special tribunal" in the Mariupol Philharmonic, exchanged the Azov commanders for Medvedchuk, and returned many more Azovstal defenders to their homeland. And the show is ultimately being held in Rostov.

At the front, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are advancing with heavy fighting; in the rear, the Russians continue their missile terror. In Krivoy Rog, people are pulled out from under the rubble of a five-story building. Ten dead, 28 wounded. That same night, rockets flew towards Kyiv and Kharkov.

Panic among the population, evacuation of the nuclear weapons storage facility "Belgorod 22", introduction of the counter-terrorist operation regime - this is what the Russian counter-offensive on the territory of the Russian Federation looks like.

Russians not only steal Ukrainian children, but also enthusiastically mutilate their own. Millions of Russian preschoolers and students are subjected to intensive "patriotic" indoctrination. The process begins literally in diapers - with camouflage envelopes for newborns.

Russian terrorists called the massive shelling of Ukraine with missiles and drones a "retaliatory strike" for the events in the Bryansk region. They mainly hit energy facilities. In the Lviv region, a rocket fell on residential buildings, killing 4 people. In Kherson, another murder of civilians was committed at a bus stop.

Mobilized soldiers and their families are recording video messages to Putin - asking him to use cannon fodder more carefully. The soldiers do not refuse to wage a war of conquest, but they ask for artillery support. Russian oppositionists compare them to rioting concentration camp prisoners. Alexander Skobov.

On February 3, Kiev said goodbye to 26-year-old Mariupol resident Alexey Kisilishin. He dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, but volunteered for the front at 17 when his father Alexander was captured in Gorlovka. Returning to civilian life, Alexey opened a shelter for wild animals in Mariupol. Last year, he took up arms again. He was killed by Russians in Elenovka. Alexander Kisilishin - about his last meeting with his son. https://graniru.org/Politics/World/Europe/Ukraine/m.287225.html
