Victoria
Victoria Jane Nuland was born in 1961 to Sherwin Nudelman, the son of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants, and a British-born mother, Rhona Goulston. Already in his teens Nudelman had changed his name to Nuland in order to carve out a career. With the British-named Victoria, an Anglo-Zionist was clearly in the making.
Indeed, she duly studied at an elite private boarding school in Connecticut, whose alumni include many US politicians. Then she went to Brown University, where she studied Russian literature, political science and history. She married Robert Kagan, the future leading Jewish neocon.
Her worldview relects exactly the folly of the US since 1990 under the influence of the neo-imperialist neocons and Blairite-Clintonian ‘liberal interventionists’. This has resulted in mass poverty in the USA, as well as 9/11, and millions of deaths in wars and tensions outside the US with the Islamic world, Iran, Russia, China and anyone else that resists US imperialism.
From 2003 to 2005, during the US rape of defenceless Iraq and the theft of its oil and gas, Mrs Kagan was a foreign policy advisor to the notorious Cheney. She must have many deaths on her conscience from that particular mess. The Iraq catastrophe led to terrorism and counterterrorism and disastrous new wars in Libya and Syria. Meanwhile, her husband was demanding an ever more warlike foreign policy against the background of US fears of the coming multipolar world, a world which it would no longer be able to dominate.
So Mrs Kagan, who yearned for permanent NATO expansion and the encirclement of Russia, was deeply involved in the US ‘regime-change’, that is, the plot to overthrow Ukraine’s democratically-elected government by violence in 2014. This led to America’s responsibility for the ensuing civil war that had killed at least 14,000 people, women and children among them, even before 24 February 2022 and had left Ukraine the poorest country in Europe.
Her $5 billion coup in 2014 in the wretched Ukraine, a strategic candidate for NATO on Russia’s border, was implemented through Oleh Tyahnybok’s neo-Nazi Svoboda Party and the new Right Sector militia. We do not forget that it was Tyanhnybok who had delivered a speech praising Ukrainians for fighting Jews and ‘other scum’ during World War II. In February 2014 their protests in Kyiv’s Maidan Square turned into running battles led by neo-Nazis and extreme right-wing forces that the US had financed and orchestrated. A mob led by the Right Sector militia marched on Parliament and the President and others fled for their lives.
Facing the possible loss of its naval base in Sevastopol in the Crimea, Russia accepted the overwhelming result (a 97% majority) of an internationally-observed referendum in which Crimea voted to leave the Ukraine and rejoin Russia, of which it had been a part from 1783 to 1954. The Russian provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine, part of Russia until the terrorist Communists had given them away to the Ukraine in 1922, similarly declared independence from Neo-Nazi Kiev. This starting a bloody war between US-backed separatists in Kiev and the local Eastern Ukrainian people.
Mrs Kagan wants an ever-more dangerous War with Russia and China to justify her militarist foreign policy and Pentagon budgets. She relies on her mythical version of Russian aggression and US ‘democratic’ intentions. She claims that Russia’s military budget, one-tenth of that of the US, is proof of ‘Russian confrontation and militarisation’. She wants ‘permanent bases along NATO’s eastern border’ and sees Russia’s desire to defend itself after so many successive (and failed) Western invasions as an obstacle to NATO’s expansionism. In short, the deluded Mrs Kagan has with others unleashed intractable violence, chaos and the risk of nuclear war. How does she sleep at night?
Victorine
The other day I went over from Paris and put flowers on a grave in a small, unheard-of town in Brittany, in the hills near Loudeac. It was the first days of autumn, the trees had begun turning colour and there was a slight chill in the early morning and evening air – in northern France the weather always changes after 15 August.
Tante (Aunt) Victorine had been born in the straw on the dirt floor of a cowshed in a hamlet of six houses, which still bore the name of its Breton founder, Brehan, 1300 years later. Literally. The tiny one-floor home-built house had a dining room/kitchen/bedroom on one side and the cow lived on the other side and was sent out to the field during the day. It had changed but little in 1981 when I first met her. Living in Upper (Eastern) Brittany, she spoke not Breton, but ‘Gallo’, the local dialect of French. Or, as the locals will tell you, French is the local (Parisian) dialect of Gallo.
Victorine had been born on 22 November 1918 and inevitably, after the Armistice of 11 November 1918, she had been named Victorine. So many sturdy Breton peasants had gone out to fight the dirty ‘Boches’ and not come back. The Boches were the German enemy of the Paris elite, the elite who had so depised Bretons as ‘yokels’ (‘ploucs’) in peacetime and had banned their language. The victory, after which Victorine had been named, was not that of France, it was the victory of peace for the peasants who had lost many of their best sons fighting against so many of the best sons of Bavarian and Saxon peasants in the futile quagmires and the deadly trenches of World War I.
That was why, like so many women of her generation, Victorine did not marry: there was no-one to marry. Indeed, in 1941 her sister had had a child by a reluctant German soldier who had been forced to join the German Army and had then been sent to patrol the wilds of Brittany. It was the great taboo of the village, but we will leave the condemnation to the sour-faced village pharisees. The illegitimate child, Jean-Pierre, her great-nephew, was my friend.
Victorine did not go to church very often. She did not much like that hard, stony building where hard, stony faces condemned human-beings for loving life. She preferred the hills and streams, woods and fields of God’s Cathedral, where she passed her life, growing vegetables on her patch in the spring, picking fruit in the little orchard in summer and autumn, for eating, cooking, bottling and jam, chopping logs for winter heating, looking after her cow for milk and the best salted butter you have ever tasted, and the pig at the bottom of the garden, that would be slaughtered by the village-slaughterer, Michel, every December and sold for pork at the village butcher’s.
So Victorine eked out a living. She would have liked to have had a man and children, but it was not to be. She passed away peacefully, a smile on her face, as she went to meet her Maker in November 1989, aged just 71. It had been a hard life, spent in her little house and on its piece of land, whitening her soul, like some early Christian hermit. She had made the best of a life that, on the surface at least, had already in 1914 been wrecked before she had even been born by the war-loving elites of Berlin and Vienna and Paris and London. But if I had to choose between the life of the similarly-named Victoria and Victorine, I would prefer ten thousand times over to have the life and clear conscience of Tante Victorine. God bless her.

moving story against a backdrop of Breton flags
She sleeps well. You can be sure of that.
People with no conscience have a good sleep and live long. For they do not eat themselves out for their own sins.
Should the (big) war be averted, and it become obvious, that is when she may not get much sleep.
Victorine lived a simple and godly life. Her heart was right.
Victoria, full of delusions of grandeur and self-importance, is using her life to spread war and chaos. Hopefully, she’ll have a heart adjustment before meeting her maker. But I won’t hold my breath.

Something else about Nuland-Kagan. She’s the sister-in-law of Kimberly Kagan, who heads the so-called “think tank” known as ISW Study of War.
Regarding the Ukraine conflict, “experts” at ISW Study of War are among the most quoted analysts in Western MSM. That includes prominent political establishment media in the US and UK, such as NYT, WaPo, WSJ, the Guardian, and the BBC. There is no end to Western MSM’s eagerness to quote ISW “analysts,” who are presented to the public as “neutral experts.”
But, the pathetic truth is that ISW’s a US/NATO/Ukie propaganda outlet. Nothing more. That’s obvious to anyone who bothers to check the footnotes on ISW’s daily “updates.” Usually, around 70% of those footnotes reference the Ukrainian General Staff, or some Ukrainian government official. This means much of the “analytical” content of ISW’s “reports” is simply regurgitated or paraphrased announcements made by the Ukies themselves.
I’m not making this up. I encourage everyone here to take a look at ISW’s daily war “reports.” You’ll see for yourself. Clearly, ISW is a propaganda outlet posing as a think tank.
To me, personally, it’s bizarre that ISW would expect to get away with presenting itself as a “think tank,” or “neutral” source of war analysis. The people behind ISW must think their readers are nothing but dumb animals.
I guess ISW’s intended audience is that portion of humanity which lives in blissful ignorance of world events. That means people who are impressionable. Nobody else would take it seriously. Anyone with half a brain can see that ISW’s “analysis” isn’t even original thinking. It’s just media spin.
Anyway, I’m raising this subject because the only explanation for why Western MSM allows ISW to continue it’s charade is the influence of the Kagan family. Nuland is a top US State Department official. MSM is willing to give Kimberly Kagan’s absurd, faux-think tank a pass because of Nuland’s power and influence. Sad but true.
ISW receives it’s money through government contracts to corporations that designs d build war making weapons, the fee would be written into the contract in most cases.
ISW was founded in response to the stagnation of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, with core funding provided by a group of defense contractors.[4] According to a mission statement on its website, ISW aims to provide “real-time, government-independent, and open-source analysis of ongoing military operations and insurgent attacks”.[5] ISW currently operates as a nonprofit organization, supported by contributions from defense contractors[6] including General Dynamics, DynCorp,[7] and previously, Raytheon.[8] It is headquartered in Washington, D.C.[9]
Very interesting info. It sheds light on what motivates these ISW hucksters.
I didn’t bother to check for an Wikipedia article on ISW. That’s because I assumed Kagan and her crew would be careful enough to scrub Wiki of any embarrassing info. I’m surprised they let remain standing.
You have hit upon the rabbit hole of the deep state. They have many thank tanks of various sizes and the state department is a major player. Special Forces of many nations are used outside the USA, and Intelligence services of police forces, FBI, CIA, etc., are used everywhere. This rabbit hole goes on forever it would seem.
It’s not our fault that’s Nudelman’s ashamed of her heritage, much like the rest of these neocon warhawks, hence her gestapo like inspections of vassals.
‘Fuck the EU’ and yet the treasonous euro bastard elites clean Nuland’s bottom with their tongues.
Have a look at July 28, 2022 Ukraine: A tale of two Victorias
By G. Murphy Donovan
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/07/ukraine_a_tale_of_two_victorias.html
“Spartz sees the Cyrillic on the wall in Kiev. ”
“Note also that Odessa is a traditional Soviet destination resort with strong ties to Russian elites. If and when Odessa falls, it may go, like Kherson, with a Fifth Column whimper, not a fight.
And then maybe it’s game over for Ukraine.”
Colonel Donovan was the former director of research and Russian (Soviet) studies for USAF Intelligence.
It seems to me Col. Donovan, beat ya to it! Victoria Spartz is Ukrainian American, (R-Ind.), a feisty outspoken Congresswoman.
Spartz is every bit the neocon as Nuland. Spartz is not for peace, she has supported every cent to Ukie for the war with Russia. It is her opinion rhat we arn’t doing enough and her only gripe with Ukie corruption is that it makes the war ineffective. She wants Russia defeated and her own kind in charge of the money laundering machine with full EU and NATO membership.
I know that – she speaks out about the corruption from the inner GOP circle.
It then is clear D.C.’s $40 billion taxpayers money is laundered. She has no illusions about Kiev, visits regularly.
This is highly embarrassing for the neocolonials.
Thank you very much Batiushka for the story of Victorine. History means a lot.
Victoria Nuland? I could note care less.
Victoria Nudelman’s of Ukrainian-Jewish ancestry. Rather ironic, I think. That’s because the capstone of her diplomatic career has been ushering in a new generation of Ukrainian power elites who are ideologically linked to far-right, ethno-chauvinist Ukrainian nationalism.
The Ukraine, after all, has been one of the Western World’s most virulent hotbeds of anti-Semitism during the last 500 years. That’s something most Americans don’t realize about the Ukraine. But it’s true. Just check Ukrainian history. The facts are indisputable.
European Jews migrated to the Ukraine in large numbers during the 16th century, at the behest of the Polish kings who colonized the region. Warsaw intended for the Jews to function as kind of a service class working on behalf of the Polish-Lithuanian government. This means Polish elites pitted the Jews against the Ukrainians, who were always waging bloody revolts against their colonizers. Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, Ukrainian rebels slaughtered Polish szlachta communities and Jewish settlements in unison. The rebels regarded both ethnicities as one and the same, as oppressors. That’s part of the origin of anti-Semitism in the Ukraine.
As for the famous anti-Jewish pogroms in the 19th and early 20th century Russian Empire, the vast majority happened in the Ukraine. Anyone who checks the historical maps can see for themselves. Raging Ukrainian mobs were almost always the culprits behind these massacres.
Of course, I don’t need to elaborate on the enthusiastic support Hitler found among Western Ukrainians, who joined Nazi SS units by the tens of thousands. Nobody likes to admit it, but the ugly truth is that Ukrainians are almost as closely connected to the Jewish Holocaust as the Germans. Any historical article on this epoch shows that many of Hitler’s death camps and mass-murder sites were located on Ukrainian soil. Willing, highly-motivated locals filled the ranks of the SS units responsible for the blood-letting.
Nudelman’s US State Department career took off in the 1990s, a time when a new generation of American foreign policy elites began redefining what the post-Cold War world should look like. These are the people who committed to the hellbent policy of expanding NATO as far east as possible, all the way through the Ukraine and up to Russia’s borders. Talk about risky business.
The motives of Nudelman and her peers in Washington and Brussels have never been clear. Their claims of promoting “democracy” or fending off “Russian aggression” are transparent nonsense. But these people are dead serious about one thing. That’s achieving their goal of turning the Ukraine into a Western military stronghold on Russia’s borders. They crave that goal so badly they’re willing to provoke Europe’s biggest conventional war since WW2.
Whatever Nudelman’s thinking, we can be sure of one thing. She’s not returning to the Ukraine, the country of his ancestors, for reasons of ethnic or national sentiment. No possible way. Not given that she’s descended from Ukrainian Jews who had very good reasons for needing to get far, far away from a country like the Ukraine.
“Of course, I don’t need to elaborate on the enthusiastic support Hitler found among Western Ukrainians, who joined Nazi SS units by the tens of thousands. Nobody likes to admit it, but the ugly truth is that Ukrainians are almost as closely connected to the Jewish Holocaust as the Germans.”
This is remembered by those who count among the supranational technocrats.. it informs the merciless wholesale bloodletting of all Ukrainians, through the device of Russian artillery mass-incinerating them in their trench-tombs.. not permitting them to withdraw, pouring in relentless waves of canon-fodder, sending vets/untrained/elders/boys/the disabled/even women – these are calculated blood-debts being collected to an exacting degree. Their current screeching is not the scale of dying of the Ukrainians, but that the Russians are not similarly being attrited.
“As for the famous anti-Jewish pogroms in the 19th and early 20th century Russian Empire, the vast majority happened in the Ukraine.”
The magnus opus and most devastating Psychoanalysis of Victoria was given by GL a few months ago.. a worthwhile perspective for those new to the site. The Bessarabia he talks about includes Odessa and modern Moldava.. this lecture helps clarify a significant source of Russian hatred being leveraged by the Anglo-Zionists and why Khazarians of Russian heritage are such useful footsoldiers atm
Well, you can think of it the other way:
What a better way to kill as much Ukrainian racist scum as possible than convincing them to WILLINGLY go get themselves killed by the Russians (your 2nd in line for hate)?
Think about it.
The Ukrainian theatre is, de facto, about exterminating anything “Ukrainian”. Way, way more than about anything “Russian”. And it is NOT so by the choice of the Russians. It is the Ukrainians who happily jumped on the “spear field” across the road instead of walking around it.
great story
Removed. Off-topic. Mod.
It is well known how Brittany fought fought the WWII brown pest, less well known is :

the story of French collaboration during WWII.
After WWII note the infiltration all across Europe.

using exactly the technique of these older EU terrorist movements – European nations were training target practice.
Which makes one wonder why anyone would propose such, unless of course it is NATO itself?
bonbon.
See this article, by Thierry Meyssan:
https://www.voltairenet.org/article217765.html
Westerners have just created a Forum of the free peoples of Russia. The aim is to prolong the break-up of the USSR, to create separatist movements and, ultimately, to proclaim the independence of twenty regions of the country.
Excellent report.
The maps there and the Prague Declaration are blatant, brazen imperialism!
Dividing nation-states along tribal lines has been going on in Europe, and Russia is now facing the full open onslaught.
So the question is why anyone would pursue this policy for Europe today?
Beautiful, thank you!
Mrs. Kagan being named after a queen who encouraged genocide in the African continent as well as in China with the opium trade is very fitting.
There is no indication that the choice of Victoria as a name had any relation to the British queen. Variations of it are common in all European countries:
“Victoria is the Latin word for ‘victory’ and is used as the feminine form corresponding to the name Victor. In Roman mythology, Victoria was the name of the goddess of victory, corresponding to the Greek goddess Nike.”
As an aside, my mother wanted to name me Victor. Fortunately my father won.
It is puzzling to me that you spend so much time and effort on V. Nuland, when, as it should be clear to
most, she is a middling administrative cog in the machinery to destroy Ukraine. She is given her “marching orders” and she follows them to the best of her, not so great, abilities. That was clear 8 years ago from the leaked telephone conversation with amb. G. Pyatt.
What truly surprised me was her testimony in US congress that Ukraine really had biological weapons. Didn’t expect that she so readily admitted that. Wonder why? Was that question a set up, or designed to be answered by her in affirmative (and for what reason). Mystery.
All the best,
Spral
Goulston doesn’t sound Anglo Saxon?
What you probably have is the joining of two Jewish families living in different parts of the world.
These people never assimilate but call for all others to do so…to mix blood!
Thanks. Great story. Touched to tears.
Never forget which US Senators stood on the stage with Okeh in Kiev at that rally to indicate their support for his efforts. Senator McCain and Senator Murphy.
Then there was British foreign secretary William Hague, little man with no hair, who stood on the stage at the maidan and praised the new coup regime. He then suddenly vanished without a trace. I wonder what the story is behind that?
What gets me is Yanucovych was part to blame for what happened,he should have had insane McCain and that cow Nuland arrested at the airport and put on the next aircraft back to America,what did he do he just about gave them the keys to the City,he should have also declared a state of emergency,then we would have found out who among the security forces were loyal to the Country or American quislings.
Aleksandr Dugin’s daughter was just assassinated by a Car bomb likely meant for him.
Very desperate attempt by NATO, CIA, SBU, Mossad to change the outcome of the war in Ukraine. This and the nuclear power plant BS.
The Jewish elite of the world have in their self destructive insanity, just opened the West to the same reprisal attacks by the Russians. They have broke all the rules of civility in warfare. Soviets limited their support in the Korean War, Vietnam War, U.S Iraq, Afghanistan War. This is just a huge escalation.
Within 24 hrs head of -sbu -Ukr.security service in Krivograd region was found dead….did Vlad sent ALPHA GROUP? according- whatdoesitmean.com..
Nuland does not have any deaths on her conscience. Psychopaths do not have a conscience.
Beautiful piece about war and peace, inner war and inner peace. Also about outer war but, alas, not outer peace.
nicely written. enjoyed that very much.
Europe is a strange mass of contradictions. On the one hand you have people like Victorine, allowed to live their lives on their property as they see fit. Something like that could not have happened anywhere else, in Africa its the rule of the strongman, so something only belongs to you if you can protect it, else its not really yours.
On the other hand Europe is the region which, as part of NATO, has bombed and destroyed countless countries since WW2 for no reason, and is now trying to do the same thing with Russia. All of that can’t be blamed on the Jews alone, so there are considerable components of European society which are just Satanic.
Someone should really tell the Europeans that all the successful invasions and victories in Europe have come from the East, think of the Huns, Vandals, Lombards, Saxons, Mongols: and the successes going from the West have been fleeting. Hence it is a absolute waste of time trying to subjugate the Eastern located Russia.
Another great article, Batiushka. Thanks you.
Two days ago a French friend of mine, whose grandfather had fought with Lyautey in Morocco and at Verdun, shared with me what he told him. In short, the peasants were sent to the 1st line in the most rotten corners. The losses were appalling. After the war the farms were bought back at low prices by commission agents for rich people.
In other circumstances my friend explained to me in great detail how the systemic violence of the French state had rotted the lives of his family over several generations. Including his own. The family of his African wife having been murdered by the French army in an OPEX.
Thank you Batiushka. That was a beautiful story.
Amazing to read you speaking about Brittany my place of birth… Yes our great grand parents endured a hard life , only wishing their children to have an easier one …they could not imagine what France has become because of corrupt politicians … a country where pride is now replaced by selfishness…
Merci Victorine and … Kenavo (good bye) as we say in breton…
Batiushka, just a wonderful story and I thank you for sharing it.
This war would end quickly if Russia took out a few of the criminals who are really conducting this war.
These criminals are cowards who hide thousands of miles away from any conflict zones and order others to assassinate their enemies.
They are the last people to be on a front line anywhere.
If Russia is serious about conducting a war then they must take the front line to these cowards.
PS: If China is a friend then their role is to interrupt the Wests ability at electronic intelligence in the Ukraine theatre.
Batiushka, you have a great mind and a wonderful soul! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing story..why do such evil people still lurk in our world. They are the opposite of civilised..
Thank you from bringing light to the subject.
As a german and a participant of Paris-Brest-Paris (three times), with Loudeac as a control-station i can feel a little bit how hard the life of your aunt in this region was. Me too would have prefered auntie Victorias way of life. It was since my youth (50 years ago) a dream, once to live in France, but now France has changed totally, may be the Region between Fougeres and Brest is still ok. Other countries, esp. Germany habe changed too, but it comes more apparent if you are not always there.
All in all a great article which shows, that there are real lifes behind such abstract expressions and terms like worldwar or neocons and so on.
Thank you
Thank you for Tante Victorine. She lives through you and, now, through me. A guiding spirit.
Reading this story, just after the Nudelman article also posted here on The Saker, was like a breath of fresh air. The contrast between the two women could not be greater, the “Tante”, an enlightened soul who spent her simple life “whitening her soul” and the other evil spawn of a diabolic clot of hatred, vanity, ambition and ignorance. The battle that is currently raging between good and evil, God fearing people and Satanic transgender mutant retards, is precisely and simply illustrated in the contrast between the good lady in her village and the evil sow, Nudelman on the burning pyre of a collapsing empire.
Many thanks
Z
