Moscow tourists talk about their month of slavery in Dagestan
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Tourists from Moscow Petr Pelekhanov and Olga Lifanova hitchhiked to Crimea, but they were tricked into Dagestan and were sold for 50,000 rubles to a greenhouse farm, from where they managed to escape only a month later, Pelekhanov himself said.
Slavs wandering alone in territory that’s 83% Muslim? They were just asking for trouble.
Muscovites unsuccessfully contacted various police departments in Dagestan, the head of the Alternative movement emphasized.

Pelekhanov and Lifanova, both residents of Moscow, were tricked into slavery in Dagestan, where they spent almost a month, according to Pelekhanov in a video published today on the Mash Telegram channel.

#1  But only white people from a country that abolished slavery 158 years ago need feel [white] guilt or owe reparations (even if they have no genealogical connection to anyone who ever owned slaves.)

#2  I believe everyone concerned was "white." The religion's the thing.

#3  Dagestan is a Russian Federation republic, so as such a passport is required to enter/exit.

These slavers cruise rail stations looking for people who are trying to find work. They offer a lot of money, the slave agrees, they arrive in Dagestan, then their passports are taken from them.

#4  Origin of the word slave and slavery The word « SLAVE » was originally applied to white people. The English word slave comes from Old French sclave, from the Medieval Latin sclavus, from the Byzantine Greek σκλάβος, which, in turn, comes from the ethnonym Slav, because in some early mediaeval wars many Slavs (from central Europa) were captured and enslaved.

Norway erects monument to fallen Soviet pilots
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[NewsFront] On October 7, six Soviet pilots who died on June 17, 1944 in a crash off the local shores of the Katalina amphibious aircraft, a grand opening of the monument took place in Norway.

It is reported that the ceremony was attended by the Minister of Defense of Norway Frank Bakke-Jensen, representatives of local authorities, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture of Norway, the Norwegian Armed Forces and Police, as well as the US Embassy in Norway.

On the Russian side, the military attaché at the Russian Embassy in Norway, Alexander Kosarev, and the Consul General in Kirkenes, Nikolai Konygin, who noted the importance of preserving the common historical heritage, expressed gratitude.

The monument was erected thanks to a Russian initiative in 2017. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense of Russia took an active part in its implementation, from the Norwegian side - the leadership of the Hasvik commune, the Military Burial Service of the Ministry of Culture of Norway.

"The monument is a stone stele about 2.5 meters high with a bronze bas-relief, which lists the names of the victims and depicts the figures of pilots against the background of an amphibious aircraft," the embassy said.
