If you understand Russian and German

This is sad to say, but the Novorussia struggle seems to be in its last throes. That is my reading of the following statements by Alexander Zhuchkovsky regarding the latest developments. I certainly hope all this is not true. Looks like the main point of disagreement that led to the “coup” was border control, which is now likely to be relinquished without even any of the other matters being implemented. And the leaders are leaving for Russia, taking their assets with them. Doesn’t look goog at all to me and all I cando is pray that this is all wrong

A message from Alexander Zhuchkovsky

After talking with some of the Donetsk deputies and participants in yesterday’s story, make a few clarifications on the situation in the DPR.

What happened yesterday has evolved over time, ultimately the conflict between Purging and Pushilin was caused by the divergence of views on the situation in the Republic. “The last straw” and in fact the cause of yesterday’s coup was a question specifically on the point of the Minsk agreements on the transfer of border control of the Ukrainians. This issue of the border, like the rest of the “Minsky points”, pushes in the first place Pushilin. Purgin was against it, although not publicly articulated its position. The well-known statement of the Luhansk colleagues Pushilin Danego about the border is not coincided with the events in Donetsk.

Yesterday’s meeting of the National Council was ugly, neither of which the legitimacy of decisions is not out of the question. For resignation Purgina and appointment Pushilin voted, if I’m not mistaken, seven times. MPs in the corridors of Parliament were under huge pressure. Not to mention the fact that many deputies, from among the supporters of Purgina, was absent by reason of the detention or non-admission to the building. Ugly was the attitude of the participants of today’s rally in Donetsk (of course I didn’t go to not descend to the basement). None of the Parliament and the administration of the DNR does not deign to explain to the congregation. The protesters, including women, were harshly pushed away by armed thugs. Several militia members, friends Purgina, at the rally were detained and threatened “basement” forced to sign papers with the obligation “not to participate in politics.”

Andrei Purgina still continue to hold, despite worsening health. Alexey Aleksandrov has to hide.

In addition to the conflict over people’s Council DND is implicitly (started a few days ago) a new wave of purges that business called “reshuffle”. Executives urgently rushed to remove their “savings” in the Russian Federation. Leave not only officials, but also the commanders of the militia, many of whom are now left Donetsk or from the DNR (including “Motorola”). Many go the “garden” as the control at checkpoints tightened.

On the one hand, all the evidence suggests that the leadership of the DNI under pressure from Moscow will seek full implementation of the Minsk agreements, including the transfer of border control of the Ukrainians. On the other hand, this process may break due to the resumption of hostilities. Despite the fact that shelling and local battles of the last two weeks has been reduced to a minimum, the situation remains tense, the troops were not given, and we cannot rule out starting a new military campaign in the second half of September. If this happens, infighting will cease and the “border issue” is gone from the agenda.

Personally, I and my fellows at present to continue the work quite difficult. If the present tendencies and the struggle for the liberation of Donbass will not resume, perhaps this month I will report on the suspension of our work to supply the militia, training and coordination of volunteers. At the moment I have already collected a certain amount of funds and have an obligation to the supply of a number of units. During the week I will perform the task, will release the report and inform you about our further steps.

Not sure what to think of the music. I just wanted to add that half of my ancestors were members of the German minority that settled in what is now southeastern Ukraine (Odessa oblast) back in the late 1700s. I’ve supported the Novorossiyan resistance all along. I can’t wait for the day when all of the southeast has been liberated from Obama’s fascist Maidan minions.

Just yesterday night, in a TV political gather at Sexta TV ( Spanish TV ) was interviewed Nacho Duato, former Director of Spanish National Center of Dance, and former Director of Mikhailovsky Theatre Dance Company at St. Petersburg, and he said this about Russian society:

“Russian is a people that still believes in the art. It may be a little naive, but it is wonderful to behold the ability to dream …… The theaters are full there….”

He also said that, despite he did not like Putin nor agreed with his ideas, felt touched on several occasions when Vladimir Vladimirovich went to the theater to deliver a bouquet of flowers to a soprano or when he himself played the piano on stage…..

The West thinks they will scare Russians.These are some of the Russians they think to scare:

The Russians have called Putin his main pride.
Most Russian citizens are proud of their president and the people. This is evidenced results of a survey of the private research holding “Romir”.
Pollsters asked respondents to answer the question of what can be proud of the latest achievements of Russian citizens. The first popular answer was the president (34%) and people (32%). The top five in descending order entered tradition (25%), natural resources (24%) and advances in military equipment and weapons (19%). Only 6% of respondents said that the Russians have nothing to be proud of.

Tuva: “Black Death” of the Wehrmacht

Germans during World War II called Tuva «Der Schwarze Tod» – «Black Death.” Tuvinians sales were death is, with the obvious superiority of the enemy, no prisoners were taken.

“This is our war!”

Tuvan People’s Republic became part of the Soviet Union during the war, August 17, 1944. In the summer of 1941 Tuva was de jure an independent state. In August 1921 there were exiled White Guard troops of Kolchak and Ungern. The capital of the republic was the former Belotsarsk renamed to Kyzyl (Red City). Soviet troops were withdrawn from Tuva in 1923, but the Soviet Union continued to provide all possible assistance to Tuva, while making no claim on its independence. We say that the first support of the USSR in the war had the United Kingdom, but it is not. Tuva declared war on Germany and its allies June 22, 1941, for 11 hours before the historic declaration of Churchill on the radio. In Tuva, immediately began to mobilize, the republic declared its readiness to send its army to the front. 38 thousand Tuvan Arat in a letter to Joseph Stalin said: “We are together. This is our war. ” According to the announcement Tuva war Germany is a historical legend that when Hitler found out about it, it is amused, he did not even bother to find this republic on the map. And for good reason.

Everything for the front!

Immediately after the war Tuva gave Moscow the gold reserves (30 million rubles), and all the spoil of gold Tuvan (10-11 million rubles annually). Tuvinians really took war as their own. This is evidenced by the amount of aid, which is not a rich republic has given the front. From June 1941 to October 1944 Tuva supplied for the needs of the Red Army’s 50,000 war horses, 750,000 cattle. Each family is given Tuvan front of 10 to 100 head of cattle. Tuva also literally put the Red Army on skis by putting to the front of 52,000 pairs of skis. The Prime Minister of Tuva Saryk-Dongak Chimboy wrote in his diary: “plagued the entire birch near Kyzyl.” In addition, Tuva sent 12,000 coats, 19,000 pairs of gloves, 16,000 pairs of boots, 70,000 tons of wool, 400 tons of meat, melted butter and flour, carts, sleighs, harness and other goods worth about 66.5 million rubles. To help USSR arats have 5 levels of gifts worth more than $ 10 million Tuvan Aksha (1 aksa rate – 3 rubles 50 kopecks), products for hospitals 200,000 Aksha. According to Soviet expert estimates shown, for example, in the book “Soviet and foreign countries in 1941-1945”, the total supply of Mongolia and Tuva USSR in 1941-1942 the volume was only 35% less than the total supply in the western alliance those years in the Soviet Union – that is, from the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Yuzhnofrikanskogo Union, Australia and New Zealand combined.

“Black Death”

The first Tuvan volunteers (about 200 people) have joined the ranks of the Red Army in May 1943. After a brief training, they were enrolled in the 25 th Independent Tank Regiment (from February 1944, he was part of the 52 th Army of the 2nd Ukrainian Front). This regiment fought on the territory of Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. In September 1943, a second group of volunteer cavalry (206 people) enrolled, after training in the Vladimir region, a part of the 8th Cavalry Division. Cavalry Division took part in the raid on the enemy’s rear in the west of Ukraine. After the battle at Durazhno in January 1944, the Germans began to call Tuva «Der Schwarze Tod» – «Black Death.” Captured German officer G. Rehmke during interrogation said that the soldiers entrusted to him “subconsciously perceived these barbarians (Tuva) as the hordes of Attila” and lost all combat capability … It must be said that the first Tuvan volunteers were only a part of the typical national They were dressed in national costumes, wore amulets. Only at the beginning of 1944, the Soviet High Command has asked Tuvan soldiers to send their “objects of Buddhist and shaman cult” home. Tuvinians fought bravely. Command of the 8th Guards Cavalry Division wrote Tuvan government: “… with the obvious superiority of the enemy, Tuva were killed. So in the battle near the village Surmiche 10 Gunners headed by commander of the department of Kyzyl-Dongur and calculation of anti-tank rifles headed Dazhy Serena died in this battle, but a step not departed, fighting to the last bullet. More than 100 enemy dead were counted in front of a handful of brave men who died a hero’s death. They died, but where were the children of your homeland, the enemy did not pass … “. Squadron Tuvan volunteers released 80 Western settlements.

Tuvan heroes

Of the 80 millionth of the population of the Tuva Republic in the Great Patriotic War was attended by about 8,000 soldiers Tuva. 67 soldiers and officers were awarded orders and medals of the USSR. About 20 of them have become holders of the Order of Glory, 5500 Tuvan soldiers were awarded with other orders and medals of the Soviet Union and the Tuva Republic. Two Tuva was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union – Khomushku Churguy-ool and Tyulyush Kechil-ool.

Tuva Squadron

Tuvinians not only helped financially front and fought bravely in the tank and cavalry divisions, but also the construction of the Red Army obespechivli 10 Yak-7B for. March 16, 1943 at the Moscow airport “Chkalovsky” Tuva delegation solemnly handed over the aircraft at the disposal of the 133rd Fighter Regiment of the Red Army Air Force. Fighters were transferred to the commander of the 3rd Fighter Squadron aircraft Novikov and assigned to the crew. On each was written in white paint “From Tuvan people.” Unfortunately, until the end of the war has not been preserved, no plane “Tuvan squadron.” Of the 20 soldiers of the 133rd Fighter Aviation Regiment, made up the crews of the Yak-7B, only three survived the war.

Cats siege of Leningrad

1942 turned out to Leningrad doubly tragic. To hunger, claiming hundreds of lives daily, to add also the invasion of rats. Ochev dtsy remember that rodents move around the city in huge colonies. When they were crossing the road, even the trams had to stop.
Blokadnitsa Kira Loginova recalled that “… the darkness of a long line of rats led by their leaders of moved on Shlisselburgsky path (now Avenue Obukhov defense) directly to the mill, where the milled flour for the whole city. In rat shot, they tried to put pressure tanks, but nothing worked: they climbed onto tanks and successfully drove them further. It was organized by the enemy, clever and cruel …
“All weapons, bombing and fire fighting were powerless to destroy the” fifth column “, overeat die of starvation blockade. The gray creature eats even what little food that remained in the city. In addition, because of the hordes of rats in the city there was a threat of epidemics. But no “human” methods to combat rodents did not help. And the cats – the main enemy of the rat – in the city was not long ago. They ate.
A bit sad, but honest
at first surrounding condemned “koshkoedov.”
“I eat the second category, so I have the right” – justified by the fall of 1941 one of them.
Then the excuses are no longer required: lunch cat was often the only possibility to save life.
“December 3, 1941. Today ate fried cat. Very tasty, “- wrote in his diary of 10-year-old boy.
‘Neighbor’s cat we ate the whole communal apartment at the beginning of the blockade,” – says Zoe Kornileva.
“In our family went so far that uncle demanded cat Maximus to be eaten almost not every day. My mom, when they went out of the house, locked with a key Maxima in a small room. He lived with us even parrot Jacques. In good times Zhakonya our singing, talking. And then from hunger and, moreover, all oblez. A little bit of sunflower seeds, which we bartered on Dad’s gun, will soon come to an end, and our Jack was doomed. Cat Maxim barely wandered too – get out hair tufts, the claws are not retractable, no longer even meow, begging for food. Once Max had managed to get into the cell to Zhakone. At other times, the drama would happen. And that’s what we saw when he returned home! Bird and cat sleeping in a cold room, huddled together. Uncle is so affected that he stopped at the cat attempt … “” We had a cat Vaska.
The favorite in the family. In winter, the 41st mom took him somewhere. She said the shelter, they say, he will be there to feed the fish, something we can not … In the evening, my mother cooked something like meatballs. Then I wondered where we meat? I do not understand … only then … It turns out that because of Vaska we survived the winter … ”
“In the house at the time of the bombing flew glass, furniture long-STOP. Mom slept on the windowsill – the good they were as wide as a shop – an umbrella sheltering from the rain and wind. Once someone has to know that my mother pregnant with me, she gave herring – she wanted salty … home mom put a gift in a secluded corner, hoping to eat after work. But he returned in the evening, found the tail of herring and grease stains on the floor – rat feast. It was a tragedy that will recognize only those who lived through the siege “- says an employee of the temple Venerable. Seraphim of Sarov Valentina Osipova.
Cat – means victory
However, some citizens, in spite of the severe famine, regretted their favorites. Spring of 1942, half dead from hunger old woman made ​​her cat out for a walk. To her people approached, grateful that she saved it.
One former blokadnitsa recalled that in March 1942, when she saw on a city street skinny cat. Around her stood a few old ladies and were baptized, and emaciated, like the skeleton of a policeman saw to it that no one caught a beast.
12-year-old girl in April 1942, passed by the cinema “Barricade”, saw a crowd of people at the window of a house. They marveled at the unusual sight on a bright sunlit windowsill lying striped cat with three kittens. “Seeing it, I realized that we survived,” – says the woman many years later.
Shaggy commandos
Once the blockade was broken, there was a decision signed by the Chairman of the Leningrad City Council about the need to “write out of the Yaroslavl region and bring cats to Leningrad smoky.” Yaroslavl could not execute a strategic order and caught the right amount of smoky cats were considered to be the best rat-catchers.
Four cats wagon arrived at the dilapidated city. Some of the cats were released immediately at the station, some were distributed to residents. They snapped up instantly, and many did not have enough.
L. Panteleev wrote in his diary siege in January 1944: “Kitten in Leningrad costs 500 rubles.” A kilo of bread with it then sold for 50 rubles. The salary of the watchman was 120 rubles.
– For the cat gave the most precious thing we had – bread. I myself left little of their rations, to then give the bread for a kitten woman whose lambing cat – recalled Zoya Kornileva.
Arrived in the crumbling city cats with heavy losses for its part, managed to drive away rats by food stores.
Cats are not only catching rodents but fought. There is a legend about a red cat, which caught while standing near Leningrad anti-aircraft battery. The soldiers called him “listener” as a cat meow accurately predicted their approaching enemy aircraft. And on Soviet aircraft animal does not respond. Kota even put on rations and isolated one ordinary look after him.
Cat mobilization
Another “party” cats brought from Siberia to fight the rodents in the cellars of the Hermitage and other museums and palaces of Leningrad. Interestingly, many cats were household – the inhabitants of Omsk, Irkutsk, Tyumen themselves brought them to the assembly points to help Leningrad. Total was sent to Leningrad 5000 cats who honorably coped with its task – to purge the city from rodents to people saving the remnants of food supplies, and the people themselves – from the epidemic.
The descendants of the Siberian cats and still live in the Hermitage. They were well cared for, they are fed, treated, but the main thing – respect for hard work and assistance. A few years ago the museum was even set up a special fund Friends of the Hermitage cats.
Today, in the Hermitage are more than fifty cats. Each has a special passport with photo. All of them successfully protect against rodents museum exhibits. Cats learn in person from the back, and even from the tail all the museum staff.
