Remember that great article “by Zakharchenko”? Well, this is the email I just got from a friend: Zakharchenko is a smart man and does see the big picture but he has nothing to do with that article. Its author is Eduard Birov (who blogs as “Russkiy Malchik” here: http://russkiy-malchik.livejournal.com/). The other publication simply reposted Birov’s article and added Zakharchenko’s photo. http://russkiy-malchik.livejournal.com/574917.html Birov has been writing a lot in this vein

See here for details: Ouch – we screwed up… ] Translated from Russian by J.Hawk for FortRuss If one is to speak without geopolitical complexities and nuances, the situation is extremely simple. This is a battle for the continent, for the international system, for one’s own taiga. They are desperately attacking us and are
I get a lot of comments to the effect that the Geneva Conventions (GC) are only for victors, or inapplicable in war, or wishful thinking etc. I very much disagree. For the following reasons: First, there is a difference between a solider and a thug and that difference is not in the guns they carry, but in what they do and why they do it. Yes, there are indeed bad
There has been a lot of criticisms of the battalion “Somali” and Givi for the way they treated the junta’s prisoners, including the Colonel who, apparently, was the commander of the junta’s 93rd Brigade.

by Mario Recap: In 1971 Bretton Woods failed. The United States implemented a new strategy: Disregard its twin deficits and act as a gargantuan vacuum cleaner that sucked in the trade surpluses of Germany, Japan and later China, attracting into Wall Street between $3 to $5 billion net on each working day. Forcing productivity and zero real wage rises created a further daily 5$ billion domestically for corporations. All

Check out this photo taken today: We are told that these units are staffed by Ukrainians wanting to free their own fellow-Ukrainians from “terrorists”. To me, this sure look like an English-speaking terrorist has come to Novorussia to commit genocide against the people of the Donbass. But, hey, that’s just me.

The Zionists: Oh this is too good!!! My two “favorite” Russia-hating Ueber-Zionists join forces in the New York Times to call for the salvation of the Nazi Junta in Kiev by a massive injection of capital. Priceless. Here is what they wrote: (full text) Save the New Ukraine A NEW Ukraine was born a year ago in the pro-European protests that helped to drive President Viktor F. Yanukovych from power.

by Leonid Krutakov for Odnako (translated by: Robin) In mid-January, EU Energy Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič held talks with Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller and Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak in Moscow. After the talks, Mr. Šefčovič expressed surprise at three circumstances. First, Gazprom has no intention of building the South Stream pipeline.

by numerama, 17/1/2015 Translated by Jenny Bright for Tlaxcala A 16 year-old teenager in France was indicted for glorifying terrorism after he published a cartoon representing a character with the Charlie Hebdo journal, hit by bullets, with an accompanying ironic comment.
