Well, it looks like the "big purge" is coming. Prigogine's last sharp statements, made in his last ultimatum interview addressed to the "elites", nevertheless achieved their goal and firmly "shaken" the very "tops". Less than a day has passed since the publication of the resonant interview, where Prigozhin spoke about the business and political “elite”, part of which, in his opinion, deliberately harms, betrays and sells Russia by their actions, how Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Sergey Neverov reacted to this speech.
In his Telegram channel, the vice speaker wrote: "I propose to invite Yevgeny Prigozhin to the State Duma, to listen and discuss his statement, and his position, voiced in a published interview." Please note that never before, regarding Prigozhin’s repeated claims to the “elites”, and even their accusations, none of the high-ranking statesmen spoke publicly, although they probably heard them and, most likely, discussed them.
The maximum "exhaust" from the uncomfortable criticism of the "elites" usually became a neutral comment by the President's press secretary Dmitry Peskov, and then only if journalists asked him questions about this topic. Now, everyone will definitely have to comment, since Prigozhin has already published an audio recording on his Telegram channel in which he agreed to come to the State Duma and tell what he thinks about the current situation.
"I am ready to speak in the State Duma, in hell, in heaven, in the underpass, wherever you say. In order to change the situation for the better, in order to understand the true situation that is developing today. I think that the State Duma is certainly the best place for such a dialogue."
The fact that now, for the first time since February last year, vital but hushed up problems on the external circuit have been discussed in parliament, and Volodin’s deputy, one of the most influential people in the state, reacted to it, says a lot. This suggests that the games of our "elites" with the sharing of money and power have become a threat to national security, and it is likely that at the suggestion of Prigogine, based on his information, in the highest echelons, and possibly in business circles, a "big purge" will be organized.
Due to the fact that the need to cleanse and improve the power structures and near-power structures has long been overdue, but there was no serious reason to start it, it can be assumed that Prigozhin’s invitation to the State Duma is an initiative not of Neverov himself, but of someone else who takes more high position.
Prigozhin’s speech in the State Duma could be an ideal occasion to start a “big purge”, since he does not belong to pro-government clans and groups, and in fact, he can say what he wants, or what is needed for someone else who occupies a higher position. If our assumptions are correct, then we will soon witness important reshuffles in power. If only they had a sense.

The pinprick of terrorists.Reduced to striking easy targets and civilian populations. They can't manage anything else that is significant. We had people doing this during WW11 in America, Saboteurs.
Lots of deep strikes happening. Two Russian army headquarters destroyed in 2 days. Strikes on troop and ammo concentrations in Mariupol, Berdyansk and Melitopol. Strikes in Crimea. Probing attacks in Zaporozhye and Kherson. Almost as if the Ukrainians are getting ready for an offensive.

Side issue when Russia has massively hit major targets in Ukraine. 300 killed in underground bunker(400 feet underground with reinforced concrete) not mentioned in western media. Media hysteria promoting Refinery hit with drone but only on one tank. Refinery is still active. Every Ukrainian story widely reported to dull Russian holiday May 8th soon to happen. Appeal to send more money and equipment.

[REGNUM] The publication of data on the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) is not included in the plans of the US administration. This was announced on May 1 by the coordinator for strategic communications at the National Security Council (NSC) of the White House, John Kirby, at an online briefing for journalists.
"Today I will not talk about the losses on the Ukrainian side. We never talk about Ukrainian losses in the war. And I don’t think we are going to change this position," Kirby replied to the question of whether Washington has data on the losses of the Ukrainian army.
The representative of the White House explained that the Ukrainian authorities have the right to publish this information themselves, if they have such a desire. The White House, according to Kirby, does not plan to make any data publicly available that could complicate the work of the Ukrainian authorities.
"If they decide they want to declassify and make the numbers public, that's up to them," Kirby said.
Earlier , REGNUM reported that, according to Scott Ritter , ex-US intelligence officer and ex-UN inspector for monitoring the elimination of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction , Kiev cannot make up for losses among the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ritter noted that Ukraine had a regular army, which at the very beginning numbered about 260 thousand people, and today about 80% of them have been killed, wounded or captured.

White House Sets Russian Troop Losses at 100,000 Over Last 5 Months At least 100,000 Russian fighters have been killed or wounded in Ukraine in just the past five months, the White House said on Monday, the latest measure of the vast human toll of President Vladimir V. Putin’s invasion.
John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said the figure included 20,000 Russian fighters who had been killed in action. About half of those were mercenaries for the Wagner group, the paramilitary force founded by Yevgeny V. Prigozhin that recruited heavily from Russian prisons to bolster its ranks and carry out a brutal campaign around the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. The claims could not be easily and independently verified.
A trove of leaked Pentagon documents disclosed in April included an American estimate that as of February Russia had sustained between 189,500 and 223,000 casualties, including up to 43,000 killed in action. The document also estimated that Ukraine had suffered 124,500 to 131,000 casualties, with up to 17,500 killed in action.
[NYPOST] Pope Francis ...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess... has revealed that Catholic leaders are involved in a secret peace mission to try to end the war in Ukraine and help repatriate Ukrainian children taken by Russia.
The 86-year-old pope mentioned the operation for the first time Sunday, but was tight-lipped about the specifics.
"There is a mission in course now but it is not yet public. When it is public, I will reveal it," the pope told news hounds as he flew back to Vatican City following a three-day trip to Hungary, where he greeted some of the millions of Ukrainian refugees who had fled to the bordering country.
"I think that peace is always made by opening channels. You can never achieve peace through closure. This is not easy." Let us know how that works out for you, Frank.

[REGNUM] In Russia, there are more large families and fewer abortions. At the same time, people get married and have children later, and the population is decreasing every year. At such a rate, by the end of the century, not Mendeleev’s forecast of a Russian billion may become a reality, but the UN’s calculation of a decrease in the population by 30 million. Contradictory and not always optimistic data were announced at a conference on demographic policy with the participation of parliamentarians and scientists. There were also suggestions on how to reverse the menacing trend.
According to the UN forecast, by the end of the 21st century, the population of Russia will decrease from the current 146 million to 117 million people. In terms of population, we will move from 9th to 20th place. At the same time, half of the entire natural population decline occurs in central Russia. The reason is that the birth rate is significantly below the level of simple reproduction. Continued on Page 49

Putin was years ahead on this. Western countries especially industrialized are seeing huge population losses. Look at Japan for example, major problems there. Muslims however and poor countries still growing. In Nepal,India,and Bangladesh they have huge families, yes families. The migrant immigration into America is one tool to grow population here. Democrat's think automatic voters but these people especially from Latin America are mostly family oriented from what I have seen and hard working.
#2
Not growing nearly as much as they used to, Dale According to the CIA World Factbook, Bangladesh’s total fertility rate (TFR) this year is only 2.08 children born/woman, leading to a population growth rate of 0.91%; Nepal’s TFR is 1.88 for a Pop.Growth Rate of 0.74%; while India’s numbers are 2.07 and 0.7%..
For future reference, the total fertility rates of all the countries the CIA pays attention to are collected here.

Getting tens of thousands of reproductive age males killed while fighting for Lebensraum they don't need sounds like just the policy to fix this! Then the guys who are smart enough to avoid the war can look forward to polygamy to rebuild the population, amirite?
