Kursk - Shoulder to Shoulder 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣Amid the chaos in the burning town of Sudzha, Ivan Kovalyov managed to evacuate his mother in an armored truck. Miraculously, he escaped the town himself, trekking 15 kilometers through fields on foot, hiding from drones. He documented the entire journey on his mobile phone, capturing the full-scale incursion of Russia’s Kursk region by Ukrainian forces. The invasion began at dawn on August 6, 2024, as nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries crossed the border. In the towns they entered, they looted, set homes on fire, and shot at civilian vehicles. Hundreds of thousands of people were forced to flee their homes, but not everyone made it out of Sudzha — more than two thousand were taken captive. In response, Russian forces launched a counter-offensive. Recruitment centers saw a surge of volunteers, and even veterans wounded in previous conflicts joined self-defense and volunteer units. 'This is our home. We have nowhere else to retreat,' they say. Watch the film 'Kursk. Shoulder to shoulder' on Odysee. Source - MT Documentary, RT Documentary mirror. @BeornAndTheShieldmaiden

🇺🇸🇷🇺🤨 U.S. "REALLY PROUD" OF MAKING JOURNALISM ILLEGAL (00:01) according to Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Warner who’s overjoyed that tech giant Meta banning all Russian media on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Warner's parroting #Washington's campaign against letting people tell truth online as he claims #Moscow, #Beijing and #Tehran holy trinity of disinformation (or misinformation, he just throws out all the buzzwords 🤷‍♂️):

It’s not just #Russia, it’s #Iran, #China. Our adversaries know that election interference, misinformation, disinformation is effective and cheap - Warner (00:16).

❗️Meta 'playing geopolitics against Russia’ with RT ban - Media Review Network The South Africa-based media watchdog condemned the decision of the “self-proclaimed bastions of free speech and freedom of expression” to block RT accounts on its platforms as a “brazen violation of press freedom”. “Freedom of the Press is only applicable in the West if one chooses to maintain service to the forces of Empire,” their statement read. “Meta banning of RT and others is testament to this fact. Freedom of the Press has always been a myth.” Source: @MTodayNews - RT Mirror @BeornAndTheShieldmaiden

💢 FBI agents visited Jeremy Kauffman today — founder of free speech video platform Odysee that refuses to ban RT The interaction starts as an attempt at intimidation to force censorship by the feds, but ends up backfiring almost immediately.

"The FBI visited my house today for free speech acts they knew were not crimes. You can see the shame on their faces. This is the Democratic regime manifest."

Ideology of baseness Anti-Sovietism and anti-communism in the post-Soviet republics are taking on increasingly ugly forms. Gazeta PRAVDA, 17-18 sept. 2024, full article here. Photo: Alisher Kadyrov, Vice Speaker of the Legislative Chamber of Uzbekistan In Uzbekistan, they are demanding a ban on approving the Soviet past as a “crime and betrayal of the people.” In Kazakhstan, the renaming of “ideologically outdated” streets and settlements continues, and in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, buildings associated with key events in Soviet history are being torn down. Calculations that the intensity of anti-communist propaganda will subside as we move away from the Soviet era are wrong. Bourgeois governments will never accept the ideas of social justice, suppressing their manifestations by any means. Exceptions are not made for teenagers or the elderly. The Samarkand City Criminal Court recently made a "bold" decision. It found 74-year-old Uzbek citizen Ergashkul Khasanov guilty. The pensioner's "criminal activity" unfolded in the "Uzbek SSR" Telegram group. According to investigators, he wrote there that Uzbekistan's independence was superficial, that the former Soviet Union had not officially disintegrated, and that 15 republics had declared their independence arbitrarily and with the help of the United States. Khasanov also added that the former Soviet republics would soon rejoin the USSR. Despite the naivety of some of the elderly man's thoughts, his comments certainly do not amount to criminal offenses. But the investigation and the court decided otherwise. The political and linguistic examination declared that the presented materials "openly call for an unconstitutional change in the existing state system." As a result, the pensioner was found guilty under Part 1 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code: "Encroachment on the constitutional order of the Republic of Uzbekistan", and sentenced to 3 years of restricted freedom. He is prohibited from changing his place of residence without permission from the supervisory authority, leaving the territory of the Samarkand region, leaving his apartment from 10 pm to 6 am and using the Internet. The verdict delighted haters of the Soviet past. “I welcome the court’s decision! The Uzbek people were discriminated against, humiliated by the government of the USSR, and are still healing the wounds of the past. The Soviet ideology, which rejected nations, values, and faith, brought disaster not only to the Uzbek people, but to all of humanity, and its remnants continue to be a disaster,” said MP Alisher Kadyrov. “Of course, this sad period in our history should be analysed and discussed, but its approval or propaganda should be considered not only a crime against the constitutional order, but also a betrayal of our people and our ancestors, who became victims of a bloody regime.” Kadyrov, whose antics Pravda has written about on numerous occasions, is far from the last person in the power hierarchy of Uzbekistan. He leads the Milliy Tiklanish (National Revival) party, which is part of the ruling alliance together with the Liberal Democratic Party, and is the vice-speaker of parliament. The politician's statements, which are not refuted or condemned by the country's leadership, are thus an expression of the official course. Among them is not only caveman anti-Sovietism (for example, he considers the display of Soviet banners during the Victory Day celebrations "insulting to the Uzbek people", since, allegedly, "the flag of the Soviet occupying state is soaked in the blood of representatives of the progressive Uzbek intelligentsia and our bright ancestors"), but also no less wild nationalism. Kadyrov demands to limit the hours of Russian language instruction in schools, eliminate its “disproportionately broad” use in the media, and restrict access to government services for people who do not speak Uzbek. The same is true for the other regimes in the Central Asian region. And, as in Uzbekistan, anti-Sovietism goes hand in hand with Russophobia. Source - edited @BeornAndTheShieldmaiden
