[REGNUM] “Ukraine must be recognized as a terrorist state”: this demand was regularly heard in Russian society. And after the terrorist attack at Crocus it began to sound even more often. Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko actually gave the answer in an interview with journalist Dmitry Kiselyov. It is impossible to recognize Ukraine as a terrorist state, Matvienko noted, since there is no such concept in international law. But the Kiev regime, according to her, is terrorist - there is no doubt about that.

[ColonelCassad] How many people do you expect to see in the cinema at 10am on a Sunday? And if we add to this the fact that the film is an uncompromising, two-hour documentary written by a war chronicler? At the premiere screening of “At the Edge of the Abyss” by Maxim Fadeev and Sergei Belous, the hall was not just “filled”. People were sitting in the aisle, on the steps. Several years of work on terabytes of material filmed on the battlefield have borne fruit - before us is the most honest war film, a living monument to fallen heroes and a real model for any documentarian for years to come.

[REGNUM] The other day, my 16-year-old daughter was sharing the latest news over the phone. Preparations for the OGE are underway, they gave me a role in a new school play, and appointed me as “mayor of the class.” And also - from an unknown number, an unknown citizen offered to make money from... a terrorist attack.
This matches what the Crocus City Hall attackers said happened to them, those making the offer claiming they spoke for ISIS-K.
Many of Alice's classmates have received similar offers in recent months. They received it and unanimously sent the tempter “to ban.” Clean and prosperous students of a private school, teenagers from fairly wealthy families, did not find anything interesting for themselves in such an offer. And thank God, as they say.
However, in Russia, not all boys and girls study in private schools and receive several thousand rubles each week for pocket money. In our country, tens of thousands of children live in discouraging poverty, or, let’s face it, in poverty.
Of all the property, in addition to the most modest clothes, there is a second-hand smartphone, which is protected like that very egg with the needle of Koshchei the Immortal.
We sympathize, but this sympathy is usually free, and is located somewhere on the periphery of the soul or consciousness. They say that the problem is obvious, but in Russia in general there is a lot that is imperfect, nothing can be done about it. But this problem can and is already turning into a big disaster.
On April 17, relay cabinets were set on fire at the Gusevo station in the Smolensk region. The culprits were quickly found - three teenagers aged 13 to 16 years old gave confessions to employees of the regional FSB department. They took this step for the most banal of all possible reasons: they were recruited “in bulk” by a popular messenger for 70 thousand rubles.
The money offered to wealthy people for such a crime seems absurdly insignificant - it can’t even buy a decent phone of the latest model, especially if divided among everyone. But if you look at them through the eyes of the village children, for whom such a sum is simply incredible, the picture becomes completely different.
Another case is from the Samara region. On the same day, April 17, two high school students from Togliatti were detained after attempting to set fire to an Mi-8 helicopter at the Kryazh military airfield. Moreover, they already had experience in carrying out sabotage: they set fire to relay cabinets in the village of Borovka, a cell phone tower in Togliatti and a non-functioning train at the Zhigulevskoe More railway station.
They are constantly trying to recruit children to carry out bloody crimes. Scans of such telephone correspondence are posted, for example, in one of the regional groups on a popular social network and are available to anyone.
“... I have a proposal for you... your task is to mine... I’ll equip you... will 700k work?” “People are bio-trash... Are you ready to mine and kill mass bio-trash?” “I am offering you a very large sum in exchange for some actions... I will give you weapons, drugs, a bail of half a million, you agree to carry out a terrorist attack, I will send you a plan of a shopping center...”
And it's not just about money. Anonymous people (it’s easy to guess that we are talking about unscrupulous manipulators working for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine) offer teenagers a “dangerous but exciting adventure.”
And this is quite consistent with the age-related craving of certain individuals for near-criminal romance, the fashion for the formation of youthful street groups, the tendency to violate prohibitions and rebel against everything.
In this regard, it is even easier with young children than with gullible pensioners, whom the same “anonymous” send to set fire to the doors of military registration and enlistment offices and fill ballot boxes at polling stations with green stuff.
First of all, schoolchildren living in new Russian territories
…the conquered areas of Ukraine and the recently acquired Crimea, one assumes…
are at risk. There, by the way, you can even find “ideological” ones - brainwashing with anti-Russian narratives during the period when these lands were controlled by the Kyiv regime could not pass without leaving a trace.
But it’s possible to find potential terrorists with milk still wet on their lips in any region—and the more depressed it is, the easier it is to find.
One can complain about the gaps in patriotic education. You can spend class hours telling stories about the pioneer heroes of the Great Patriotic War or examine the images of Malchish-Kibalchish and Malchish-Plokhish in a literature lesson. All this is correct, but, alas, not enough.
The situation is so acute that it requires special measures that cannot be left to individual enthusiasts who have realized the depth of the problem, teachers and even parents, although they should be interested in the first place.
This requires urgent intervention from the Ministry of Education and numerous public-state children's associations created to replace the pioneers and the school Komsomol.
All teenagers in the country need to be given information about the large-scale provocation into which they want to drag the younger generation of Russians, in the shortest possible time, in an extremely clear, clear and without sentimentality manner.
And, of course, about the consequences that await those who, out of naivety, stupidity or in pursuit of money, decide to cooperate with Ukrainian “curators”: indelible shame, criminal prosecution, prison. For a long time.
The question arises: shouldn’t Ukraine respond in a mirror way by recruiting teenagers from poor farms? The answer is simple: never and never. Dehumanization (and this is exactly what it is) should not become the norm for Russia.
But anonymous curators and their leaders must be found. Find and punish. And there is no statute of limitations for this task.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
