by Petr Akopov for Vzgliad translated by Edvin Buday London’s boorish behaviour has resulted in a fiery reaction within Russia – from indignation to jokes about “Little Britain”. Sadly, such derision is not the best possible answer. For we are dealing with a threat that is far from comical, and the entire history of relations between Russia and Britain is proof of that. Great Britain’s behaviour in the Skripal affair

by Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of RT TV channel and MIA “Russia today” translated by Scott source: https://ria.ru/analytics/20180319/1516767644.html Essentially, the West should be horrified not because 76% of Russians voted for Putin, but because this elections have demonstrated that 95% of Russia’s population supports conservative-patriotic, communist and nationalist ideas. That means that liberal ideas are barely surviving among measly 5% of population. And that’s your fault, my Western friends. It was

A notable part of civilians had also fled to the government-held area in the province of Aleppo. According to Turkish sources, the TAF and
By Aram Mirzaei for the Saker blog It’s been 8 weeks since Turkey together with its jihadist forces launched operation Olive Branch to clear the Afrin region of US-backed Kurdish militias (YPG). During these weeks, YPG forces have been taking a beating, losing well over 70 % their territory, including Afrin city itself. It should hardly come as a surprise to anyone who has been following the situation that the
by Scott Humor In regards to the British government-staged hoax around the persona of retired British spy Sergey Skripal: If TV police dramas told us anything it’s the principle of Corpus delicti, or “no body, no crime.” It’s the principle that a crime must be proved to have occurred before a person can be convicted of committing that crime. Since February, the British government has been staging a bizarre theater

By Sushi for the Saker Blog A famous Sherlock Holmes story contains the following dialog between Holmes and Detective Gregory. Gregory: “Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?” Holmes: “To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.” Gregory: “The dog did nothing in the night-time.” Holmes: “That was the curious incident.” A confrontation is taking place between two states over the
There is no overstating my gratitude to Eugenia who did an “emergency translation” of this crucial statement on Sunday instead of enjoying a much deserved, and much needed, day of rest. Dedicated people like Eugenia is what make this blog possible and we all owe her an immense dept of gratitude. Thanks to this translation, you all get to hear what Maria Zakharova had to say in response to the
Here are the preliminary results explained in simple, plain, English: 1) Putin easily wins by a landslide and is *more* popular than ever 2) The Russian Communists and Zhirinovsky have reached terminal irrelevancy 3) Only 2.6% of Russians are pro-USA and generally pro-West (Sobchak+Yavlinsky) 4) The entire AngloZionist anti-Putin campaign has miserably failed 5) The Empire has two choices left: go to war or fold 6) If the Empire choses

SouthFront produced another masterpiece: a documentary entitled “Russia’s Long Road Toward Resurgence“. You can think of it as a “crash course in modern Russian history”. I would have a few comments/corrections/disagreements but they would be minor and would not affect the key theses of this documentary. In fact, this is truly an excellent summary so, please, do watch is and spread it on your social media and amongst your friends.
