Russian top spook denies Ukrainian invasion plans
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Rusvesna] Sergei Naryshkin, Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of Russia, commented on the hysteria, which was being dispersed by the West, about Russia's allegedly impending "invasion" of Ukraine.

Naryshkin called all the statements about this on the air of the TV channel "Russia 1" fakes and lies, blown up into a big bubble.

"I must reassure everyone - nothing like that will happen. In general, everything that is happening now around this topic is, of course, such a malicious propaganda action by the US State Department," the head of the Russian intelligence service assessed the situation.

Naryshkin also explained the purpose of the action: the American foreign policy department "is pumping these fakes, this lie, and its allies, and the leaders of the media, and the leaders of the political science centers of the United States" so that this lie will endlessly multiply further.

"And they inflated a rather big bubble around this," the SVR director emphasized.

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] A Volgograd historian and journalist presented a report in which he published information found in declassified documents about the killings, violence and robberies in Kalmykia and the Volga villages in 1918-1919 by the servicemen of the Red Army. The discovered facts revealed previously unknown episodes and exposed characters who were previously heroized, representatives of the scientific community noted.

Report reveals massive violations in school meals in Dagestan
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] The requirements for the quality and safety of food and ready-made meals in school canteens in Dagestan are systematically violated, the perpetrators were fined 8.5 million rubles, Rospotrebnadzor reported. The Accounts Chamber called on the deputies of the republican parliament to increase spending on food for schoolchildren.

For ten months of this year, the Rospotrebnadzor Administration for Dagestan carried out 994 inspections of the organization of hot meals for schoolchildren, as well as the work of suppliers and food operators. 

It turned out that the requirements for the quality and safety of products and ready meals are often not met. The conditions of storage, transportation and sale of products are not systematically observed, employees of the catering units often do not undergo the necessary medical examinations.

A total of 2,193 protocols on administrative offenses, 197 protocols were drawn up against food organizers.

"The total amount of the fine was more than 8.5 million rubles. 68 orders were issued to dismiss employees who did not undergo a full medical examination. Also, 371 orders were issued to eliminate the causes and conditions that contributed to the commission of an administrative offense," the republican administration quoted on November 26 Rospotrebnadzor "Draft."

As the "Caucasian Knot" has reported, in February in the Khunzakh region of Dagestan, 30 schoolchildren turned to doctors with signs of poisoning, three of them were hospitalized. This became the basis for initiating a criminal case.

At the same time, the draft budget of Dagestan for 2022 includes insufficient funds for food for schoolchildren, as well as for the purchase of textbooks, the organization of summer vacations for children, the chairman of the Accounts Chamber of Dagestan Bilal Jakhbarov pointed out in the parliament of the republic.

During the first reading of the draft budget, he proposed to increase these expenditure items at the expense of existing reserves, the People's Assembly of Dagestan reported on November 25 on its website.

The draft budget also does not plan expenditures on strengthening the material and technical base and overhauling of educational institutions, it is not taken into account that debt has accumulated for textbooks supplied to schools, and the library fund of schools needs to be updated, Jakhbarov noted. He also pointed out the problem of providing food for children under three years of age who are registered in medical organizations and need dry mixes, cereals, juices and purees.

"Our analysis of budget allocations showed that the planned expenditures on financing certain issues are not sufficient. In particular, only 250 million rubles are planned to be allocated for providing children under three years of age. rubles," quoted today the head of the Accounts Chamber of Dagestan.

On Holodomor Remembrance Day activists toppled NKVD monument
From a Facebook posting by Rodion Shovkoshytnyi:
In 1932, the Bolsheviks came to my great-grandfather. He was detained, a woman with 6 children thrown into the snow and frost. The house he built himself was taken under the silrad, all the property was confiscated.

In 1932-33 only in a few Cossack villages of Peryaslav-Khmelnytsky district in the Kyiv region 38 Silkyošitnih died. Our closest relatives are Shili. 13 were killed that year. Relatives along the women's lines with Katrech and Zakharchenko lost about as much. About a hundred I mean. How many were killed 1921-22 - there are no statistics. In 1946-47 also unknown.

227 Regiment NKVD had a place of deployment Kiev and Kiev region. In 1939-1941 this regiment carried out the guard and convoy of Polish prisoners of war after Stalin attacked Poland. And also carried out the deportation of individual population groups from Ukrainian territories, security prisons and warehouses.

Ck Včk, Ck, OGPU, NKVD - made criminal decisions, gave criminal orders, followed them. This is without exaggerating the law of the Ukrainian people.

This monument was supposed to be demolished before November 21, 2015. He falls under decommunization. Instead, here on May 9, flowers are carried by the local authorities and former berkuta from Brovary.
Today, on the day of remembrance of the victims of Holodomor, caring citizens destroyed this xyin ю. I'm proud to have seen it in person: it's personal to me.

On the way back, three of our crews were detained by the police, but that's the details. I would like to encourage caring citizens to organize in groups and conduct decommunization on their own settlements.

Here's a map ( http://decommunize.kharkiv.ua/
) choose your nearest red and wear it in memory of your relatives.

This is not complicated at all.

Thank you to everyone involved. And don't forget to light a memory candle today.
It's all in Ukrainian language:

by Dylan Malyasov

[DefenceBlog] Russian military officials again claimed that advanced T-14 Armata main battle tanks will be delivered to the Russian Army by year’s end.

"Twenty T-14 tanks based on the Armata heavy multiservice tracked platform are planned for delivery before the end of 2021," Head of the 47th Military Representative Office Major Dmitry Repin said, specifying that the armor would arrive for the Army’s operational units.

"Under the terms of a state contract, the armor’s serial deliveries to the troops are implemented before the end of state trials. Now work is underway to produce a pilot batch before the end of the state trials to get the experience of operational evaluation in the troops," Repin said.

The military representative did not specify the units that would receive the Armata tanks, noting that "This will be determined by the [Defense Ministry’s] Main Automotive and Armor Department."
Prolly to units in front of Volodya's capital.

Russia unveils improved version of its new armored personnel carrier
By Dylan Malyasov

[DefenceBlog] Russia’s Military Industrial Company (VPK) has unveiled an improved version of its new K-17 Bumerang armored personnel carrier during Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Alexey Krivoruchko’s visit to the company facility.

Alexey Krivoruchko on Thursday reviewed the production of armored vehicles at the Arzamas machine-building plant of the Military Industrial Company, where, in particular, he got acquainted with the progress of work on the latest armored vehicles on the Boomerang platform.

A new version of the K-17 Bumerang armored personnel carrier with additional armour elements was displayed publicly for the first time.

K-17 Bumerang is reported to be a replacement for the iconic Soviet BTR-80. The new vehicle is equipped with 12.7 mm machine gun.
Noooo!

#1  So hypersonic missiles, new tanks and new APC's. Looks like Ma Russia is serious about defending themselves from outraged anti-vaxers.
Posted by: Mercutio || 11/28/2021 8:07 Comments || Top||

#2  Putin's Russia is not Woke. For all their flaws and problems, the Russians believe in their civilization and are not apologizing or kneeling or flagellating themselves over their history.

They were weak and reeling for ten years, but the last decades have seen Russia's vitality and confidence return. Their population is steadily increasing, to the point where the Russian fertility rate now exceeds the white American rate (1.8 for RUS vs 1.6 for white USA).

Ours is a civilization in decline. We are decadent in every sense of the world.

Russia at a minimum has stabilized, and may, if Brandon's idiotic energy policies continue, see its fortunes and power rise apace in the next three years at least as the oil price approaches and surpasses $100/bbl.

#4  1.8 for RUS vs 1.6 for white USA).

1.8 is still below replacement. Russia’s population should not be increasing on the basis of that birthrate.

#6  Tw, RUS and USA are moving in opposite directions. The tend is not our friend.

Similar to Russia in the decade after the end of the USSR, deaths of despair are now soaring in the US. American longevity especially for working class whites is deckining.

More and more white Americans don't want to marry. College educated white American women increasingly don't want to bear or raise children.

Bless you and your family, but you and we are trying desperately to row against a powerful current in this country.

Russia survived despair and nihilism and us now starting to come back and recover its pride and strength. (For their part, the Chinese remember the horrors of their own recent time of troubles and are resisting the madness of America's Woke cultural revolution.)

The point is that ours is now unmistakably a sick and decadent culture. We have no right whatsoever to keep on bashing Russia. It's senseless and self-defeating.
