Russia’s Victory Day celebrates the Soviet victory in WWII, in which the Red Army was responsible for approximately 75% of Nazi German losses.
As they say, imitation is the best form of flattery!
(If they want to celebrate the Pacific theater, then do it on September 2nd 🤷🏻♀️).

“I know that the Serbian Orthodox Church has been making a significant contribution to strengthening the relations between our people, who traditionally maintain the warmest, closest, and the most trustworthy relations.”

Just Zelensky Regime Things in Time for Paskha / Easter
Ukrainian “patriots” from Decolonization forced a Kharkov-area church in Zalyutino to remove an icon of the Holy Passion Bearers. At this rate, they might go after the Mother of God for “being Russian.”
Meanwhile, a Ukrainian court placed Archimandrite Feognost under night house arrest. His crime? Helping defend his canonical Orthodox church (St. Michael’s Church in Protsiv) from yet another hostile takeover by the fake breakaway “church” by transferring its management to a charitable foundation. It’s okay, though, he can still lead liturgy this weekend while being charged with stealing church property! 🤦🏻♀️

Has the ideological de-Ukrainianization (that is, support for the current regime) of Poland 🇵🇱 really begun?
Allegedly, the Polish presidential candidate Grzegorz Braun noticed that in addition to the Polish flag, a Ukrainian flag was displayed on the city hall in Biała Podlaska. As the crowd chanted with support, Braun used a ladder to tear down this flag.

"Hardly anyone in this country knows the truth about Ukraine. There has been nothing like it since we were all lied to about the Iraq invasion, with bilge about fictional ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’. The liars were caught out. And they learned from it. They learned to lie more skilfully.”

“Spiritual De-Occupation”?
The attempts to steal the historic Kiev-Pechersk Lavra from the canonical Orthodox Church and its long-established community in Ukraine 🇺🇦, as well as the persecution of its clergy, is “spiritual de-occupation,” according to the leader of the breakaway pseudo-church, Sergey Dumenko (“Epiphanius”).
In an interview with Apostrophe, Dumenko used similar language to the goons who refer to any and all cultural destruction with any vague links to Russia or the USSR as “de-communization.” Because, of course, both come from the same ideological source.

Revolutionary leader and intellectual Vladimir Lenin was born on this day 155 years ago. He was a complex figure surpassing simple historical analysis. One of the most inconvenient legacies Lenin left was his role as one of the key founders of modern Ukraine.

Modern-day Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Bandera and Shukhevich stans cosplayed a 1944 Easter photo featuring the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) responsible for butchering non-ethnic-Ukrainians such as the Poles en masse.
The photo is labeled, “Christ is risen, let Ukraine be resurrected!”
"We have long wanted to touch the past in a communicative way, to connect our modern struggle with UPA’s struggle," says the brigade named after UPA’s tactical unit No. 22, Black Forest.
Sirs, you can touch the past: Hell is that way.

Today is the 10th anniversary since the brazen assassination of Ukrainian writer and journalist Oles Buzina in broad daylight. He was gunned down in Kiev near the entrance of his own home on April 16, 2015.
The assassination took place after the regime change in Ukraine. Buzina was a Ukrainian patriot, but he opposed the Maidan and the war in Donbass. He was also known for his powerful writing style, at times satirical, other times—caustic, and was not afraid to criticize the Ukrainian government (past and present). Buzina’s politics angered both the new “government” and the ultra-nationalists.
Two days prior to the murder, Buzina's personal information appeared on the site Mirotvorets, which some believe has government backing. This information was posted by an anonymous user 404. After the murder, the site noted that “Agent 404” was successful in completing a “combat mission.” Later, this information was removed from the web. Another prominent opinion maker, Oleg Kalashnikov from the Party of Regions, was assassinated a day earlier in Kiev. His information, too, appeared on the now-infamous website. It was difficult to believe in such horrendous coincidences even back then.
Initially, the Ukrainian authorities attempted to blame the Kremlin. What a surprise! Yet the investigation led to two Ukrainian suspects, Denis Polishchuk and Andrei Medvedko, from an ultra-nationalist organization C14. The suspects were later released, and the case stalled and still unresolved. Both suspects are currently active in business (Ukrainian Military Coffee (!) in the case of Medvedko) and public, government-linked organizations.
Buzina’s mother passed away last month without attaining justice for her son.
I’ve been periodically translating Buzina’s articles here: ninabyzantina.com/tag/buzina/

“The draft [of the mineral agreement] did not provide any concrete U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine, one of its initial goals,” according to Reuters. So Zelensky seems to have sold what’s left of Ukraine’s 🇺🇦 national wealth that didn’t belong to him for nothing. I wonder what *personal* security guarantees he received!

Wake up, babe, Russia and China plan to build a nuclear plant on the Moon to power a lunar station!
China plans to build a basic model of the International Lunar Research Station, ILRS, with the Moon's south pole as its core by 2035, writes Reuters.
According to China's chief designer of the lunar exploration program:
"Russia has a natural advantage when it comes to nuclear power plants, especially sending them into space, it leads the world."

Luc Ferry, France’s former Minister of Education and public intellectual, finds the roots of the present-day war in Ukraine in the Ukrainian actions in Donbass. He notes that Putin is not a nice man, but he’s no Hitler. (As a side note, these obligatory caveats to be able to appear in the European media always make me chuckle as if he’s talking about a preschool teacher, not a country’s leader.)
