Dear friends,
Just came back from a couple of wonderful days exploring the beautiful lower Suwannee River (roughly between Fanning Springs and the Gulf of Mexico) and it will take me a few hours to get back to civilization and get organized (Juan is also exhausted to he will take a day off). Right now just I wanted to share with those of you who can understand Russian two websites where you can follow the “Television of the Donetsk People’s Republic”:
http://dnr-tv.tk/
http://www.newsnews.tv/
http://goodgame.ru/channel/dnrtv/ (streams from various parts of Novorossia)
The most interesting stuff is that these resources are used to report events in real time. Even when nothing happens you get regular reports like “this is the X district – all is calm” which, combined with a good map of the region can be useful to get an idea of what is going on.
I leave you with a music video entitled “Donbass rise up!” which seems to be very popular in Novorossia (can anybody translate the lyrics into English?).
Kind regards,
The Saker

@Crazyivanreport:
Look dude, considering the kind of crap you posted both about me and about the readers of this blog, you already show a quite remarkable degree of chutzpah to post here, but I don’t really care. But you are also constantly promoting your blog with some pretty crude baiting and thus you are basically using my blog to advertise yours. Even your alias here is a primitive form of advertisement. Now if you were even remotely friendly, neutral or even minimally courteous, I would not care, but since you call my readers “unhinged Sakerites” (https://crazyivanreport.wordpress.com/2014/06/10/unhinged-sakerites/) and “Dangerous Cranks” (https://crazyivanreport.wordpress.com/2014/06/03/the-sakerites-are-dangerous-cranks/) why don’t you stop advertising here? I understand that you are desperate for readers to make your blog at least a little bit relevant, but is baiting folks which you have just insulted not a little too much hypocrisy?
Rowan Berkeley and Cold N. Holefield also hate my guts, but they at least have the decency to say away from my blog. Why don’t you follow they example? In fact the three of you should join forces – maybe then somebody would notice your efforts?
Most sincerely,
The Saker
ARISE #DONBASS! by Cuba http://youtu.be/jNoGW_sbKcY
(Translated Lyrics )
Mama, how are things in the land of steppes and coal dumps?
I heard that enemies came to our land
And they want to quickly destroy everything
Mama, I’ve known every town here since my childhood:
Brother cities Slavyansk, Kramatorsk are now in the news.
Donbass, save your children!
Arise Donbass! Arise, my native land!
Arise Donbass! Let’s kick the Junta out together!
Arise Donbass! Mother Russia’s with you!
Arise Donbass! You will become the new Brest!
Mama, how are the working class and miners getthing through this?
When Maidanites were strolling in the Maidan,
Our people were hard at work and feeding slackers.
Mama, everyone will help make Slavyansk a holy mountain!
It’s our city, and will be ours forever –
We will not surrender it to the enemies!
Arise Donbass! Let’s kick the Junta out together!
Arise Donbass! You will become the new Brest!
Arise Donbass! Arise, my native land!
Arise Donbass! Mother Russia’s with you!
Mama, life went from Donetsk to Odessa,
And verdant city, carried coal trains,
Smoked pipes, as always …
Mama, just like in ’41, demons came to us from the West:
They’re already at our doors, shooting our wives and mothers,
Burning people alive!
Arise Donbass! Let’s kick the Junta out together!
Arise Donbass! You will become the new Brest!
Arise Donbass! Arise, my native land!
Arise Donbass! Mother Russia’s with you!
Saker, welcome back.
Please, please block the people who say they hate you, etc. It is a waste of my precious time to have to wade through their excrescences, thinking they have been approved by you.
Please.
If I need entirely biased, completely CIA-controlled anything, I can go to MSM. I’m not looking for it here.
Kiev Freak Brigrade has now taken to assaulting the Russain embassy. What silly provocation will these clowns try next?
Auslander, I would be interested in an update on the situation in Crimea if you have the time and inclination. Water issues (and other infrastructure)? Banking? Are people able to get their funds that were in Ukrainian banks? I saw a note that Russia was in the process of repatriating the ukie airforce planes that had been stationed at bases there – are they really going to give these back to Ukraine while the conflict is ongoing? General mood of people there?
I visited an expat in Sevastopol ~10 years ago (MS) who was very helpful to me when I visited Ukraine around that time. Perhaps you knew him…

Welcome back, Saker!!! I do hope you and Mrs. Saker are rested, relaxed and revived.

THANK YOU for translating that!!!
Oh, those lyrics — they fill the heart but oh, they sting the eyes!
Our songs are so, so different — rah, rah war or lofty/empty platitudes. There is definitely something not just amiss, but really, truly missing in our culture.
And we need it, badly.
Some might be interested in Sergei Glazyev’s piece at:
http://argumenti.ru/toptheme/n441/344574
He is an advisor to Putin, and argues that the US benefited from WWI and WWII, and seems to be fine with going to the edge of blowing up Europe. No price is too high to keep world domination. The US’s weak point is probably economic/dollar.
This is maybe a dumb question but is there anything available to, what, live-translate spoken words into print?
I don’t remember what it’s called for deaf people but I’m thinking that technology is probably canned and therefore available, right? So, grossly, what would need to be done would be to add some sort of translation? Or am I over-simplifying a real, erm, bear of a problem? (~: mind you, to me a computer is basically a magic typewriter with pictures … ;~)
What’s the situation in Mariupol ? I ve heard things aren’t going well there.
Andrew,
Dear The Saker,
Welcome back on an eventful day! Hope you had a wonderful break.
It looks like a bunch of Kiev nutters have been organised in front of RU Embassy – nothing is sacred anymore :(
http://rt.com/news/165952-ukraine-russia-embassy-protest/
Also you have probably heard about plane and chocie boy is latching on to it:
http://rt.com/news/165880-ukraine-lugansk-jet-paratroopers/
and for the third time Ukraine has crossed Russia’s border again!
Rgds,
Veritas
Does anybody know about the plane shot down near Lugansk with Ukie soldiers and equipment? I wonder that I do not find anything about it on RIA. Or did I just miss it?
excellent music vid….loved it. Those Ukie pilots must be trembling every time they climb into the cockpit now lol. The families of those 49 dead servicemen should thank Victoria Nuland & her puppet freaks in the Rada for taking their sons away.
I have abad feeling that they deliberately flew 140 young men of the 25th Air Brigade from dnepropetrovsk into certain death because their comrades from the same unit on the ground at the Lugansk airport had already raised the russian flag and were fighting the lvov brigade there. Had they landed they would have joined the rebels. The rebels were tricked into shooting down what they assumed were reinforcements for the Lvov side. This was clearly murder on the Kiev side. They were not supposed to land. Poroshenko was against the flight and may at least fire the evil figger who sent the young men to die
What’s going on in this video of the crossing of Ukr APC into Russia?
It seems that a lot of soldiers are actually camouflaged at the border but it’s not too clear to find out from the translated captions for a non Russian speaker.
(video from a comment at zerohedge)
If it is true that the plane was expected to be shot down and sent on purpose for this fate with a load of disloyal troops, then Putin would be stupid not to explain this to the world fast. Those kids should not have gotten on that plane. All soldiers who are half hearted should expect to be eliminated

Couldn’t resist a chuckle. I dare say the NSA/GCHQ has such a thing in Beta. :)
hardcore – my understanding (think from RT reporting) is that the ukie APC was cut off and trying to return to friendly territory through Russia. One unit broke down and was abandoned, its crew picked up by another APC.
I am wondering if Kiev is deliberately sending reluctant troops into harms way as a general tactic trying to incentivise others to fight. Still find the whole situation unbelievable – how could this happen to Ukraine? Sickening.

Robin Morritt,
Well, I’m outright LAUGHING now !!!!! (can’t stop, actually…)

There are commercial speech-to-text software products (google “speech to text”). There are also digital dictaphones that I know are used by dyslexics to record lectures and the like. Google Chrome browser allegedly has the functionality built in, but I imagine it is restricted to (US) English.

Stop the BS. You are at war, your enemy send in plane load of reinforcement with equipment such as tanks, APCs, and cannons, and you are not going to shoot them Down? Did they broad cast that they were came in to surrender? Even if they did, you should have you RPG read if it turn out to be a trap. It is war, not a game.
By the way, there is tweet about this:
IL-76 was carrying a group of Lithuanian-Lviv snipers – 56 people. Crew – 9 people. BMD and mortar battery.
the info was extracted from FF, FB.

Absolutely amazing speech by the leader of the German Left Party, damning Merkel for her pro fascist support of Kiev.
The Russian version was already viewed over 800,000 times in 5 days!
And Crazy Ivan, please get lost. I’ve already black-holed your inane blog
About Crazyivanreport and Cold N. Holefield. Their are most certainly American or Israeli “honey pots” for gathering data on the people who visit or post there. Right now the zionazis are gathering as much info as they can on everybody who uses the web politically and to be informed. One can guess why. I would not visit either of those sites, make the arse bandits work to get the data they accumulate, don’t just give it to them.

A J S B says rumors are Russian troops returning to border areas, consistent with G. Bazov’s discussion of RU aviation on alert last week. I expect we’ll see some BTR/arty rolling footage from Belgorod and Rostov oblasts soon. Biggest ‘pucker factor’ for Kiev forces IMO would be deployment of Iskanders and S-300s/400 systems to the border regions.
American Kulak
Here is some footing of Russian troops (border guards?) digging in:
maybe to stop any other lost Ukrainian APC from wandering over the border.
