To stay on topic, I’d like to discuss where nationalists get their ideas from.
Ukrainian nationalists say that Russians are half-breeds because they polluted their blood by mixing with Asians.
I’m Russian and I take examples from my own family, all of whom identified themselves as Russian. I can trace most of it back to World War II.
So, my granny’s names were mostly Ann or Mary, but my great great granny’s name was Efrosinya Stepanovna.
Efrosinya means ‘joy’, it’s a greek name Εὐφροσύνη. The name of one of The Three Graces
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_GracesIt’s quite ironic, because after WWII, my great-grandmother had terrible osteopathy, which caused her spine to be bent like a witch, and motivated me to take up ballet lessons to have good posture.
Evphrosinya (short Priska. One could expect it to be shortened from Priscilla, but it wasn’t) was quite common name for Russia.
All of Russia was baptised into Christianity back in about 10th century. The Greek monks invented alphabet to write down slavic speech, they also had to invent letters to write down Greek names with sounds absent in Russian.
Btw, my granny Ann substituted Greek ‘f’ sound with ‘hv’ sound in words like ‘profile’, because ‘f’ sound is alien in Russian. I swear I’ve heard it with my own ears.Her patronim was Stepanovna, which means her father’s name was Stepan, Russian adaptation of Stephan, or Steven. If they were Irish, it could be O’Steven. If they were Arabs, it would be Ibn Istifan 🙂
Well, her son, my granddad, was named Tikhon (Τύχων) which means ‘Lucky’. He was born of a man named Akim, aka Ἰωακείμ – Joachim.

To keep it short, I found no trace of non-christian names. Family names were mostly up to profession, like Kravets (the same as Tailor in English or Schneider in German). Ovchinnikov (SheepSkinner/Schaffelman).No trace of Kim or Lee or Mohammed or Halifa. I shoud say if they did, I’d be proud of this! The wider the heritage, the luckier the kid!
Really don’t know where they Ukrainians take their nationalistic lies from.
To me the most important podcast on this topic of this year so far:
On Russia and Iran vs. USA from Russian POV by a critical John Helmer with Nima in a geopolitical/global context.

Strange how western media/politicians kept pretty much silent on the recent event when pro-western ex-PM of Ukraine Yulia Timoshenko was busted in a corruption raid:
Details of high-level Ukrainian vote-buying probe released
An anti-corruption agency has released evidence in a cash-for-votes scheme allegedly involving former Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenkohttps://swentr.site/russia/630948-timoshenko-corruption-record-nabu/
According to Timoshenko herself it was a politically motivated attack by Zelensky to libel/purge candidates before any election being held in Ukraine:
Zelensky eliminating opponents before elections – opposition leader
Yulia Timoshenko has argued that a vote-buying probe against her is politically motivatedhttps://swentr.site/russia/631298-zelensky-eliminate-opponents-elections/
No nazi-problem in Ukraine they say, still time and time again the reality on the ground prove otherwhise:
“Dutch ex-soldier Hendrik candid about horrors on the Ukrainian front: ‘Every morning the Nazi salute was given,’ Stepan Bandera flags, inverted swastikas, Nazi symbolism at Third Separate Assault Brigade (Azov). He clashed with Colombians, many from the drug cartels. Hendrik heard about war crimes, even torture and mutilation. Colombians even showed him photos of beheadings.”
De Telegraaf, major Dutch newspaper, writes about what other Western and Ukrainian media, politicians, info warriors and other propaganda peddlers cover up and whitewash about neo-Nazi-led Azov and Colombian mercenaries in UkraineScott Ritter´s extensive and important response to Sy Hersh´s apparently unfortunate piece on Russia (I haven´t read it yet.)
But Ritter´s account in itself is already very helpful as he e.g. goes back to Biden´s 2011 mission to Moscow trying to help bring an end to Putin´s era and prepare a change of political course of the country. With a lot of revealing quotes from Biden´s speeches there. And quotes from RU military officials who Ritter talked to re: RU current affairs.Scott Ritter: Getting it Wrong on Russia (Response to Seymour Hersh’s Latest Article)
https://natyliesbaldwin.com/2026/01/scott-ritter-getting-it-wrong-on-russia-response-to-seymour-hershs-latest-article/I cant stand Kaja Kallas:
When someone say this below you know they are terribly ignorant:
EU’s Kallas promises to be ‘very smart’ by end of term
The top diplomat has claimed her intelligence is improving thanks to extensive readinghttps://swentr.site/news/631748-kallas-reading-very-smart/
So EU have a foreign policy leader that in hurry read up on foreign policy issue!? Really prove her cluelessness.Or take this, she really believe she could put demands on Russian troops!? The EU are not even at the negogiating table for crying out loud!
EU’s Kallas wants to cap Russian Army
Brussels is devising a list of conditions on ending the Ukraine conflict, the foreign policy chief has saidhttps://swentr.site/news/632291-kallas-list-demands-russia/
Or take this, compared the EU to Marvel superherous, sigh:
Kallas compares EU to Marvel superheroes (VIDEO)
Europeans are “assembling” to expand in order to spite Russia, the top diplomat has saidhttps://swentr.site/news/632595-kallas-europeans-marvel-superheroes/
The hypocrisy of the baltics are really something
In a new interview Latvia’s FM claim, quite arrogantly, that the EU have no double standards when it comes to Gaza (as to lets say Ukraine)
Video: https://www.facebook.com/trtworld/videos/international-law-principles-vs-outcomes/928510699621981/Meanwhile the same woman have been an ardent supporter of israel, calling what israel do as “self defense”:
“Baltics’ big bear hug of Israel is a strategic blunder”
During the ceremony, ..Latvian counterpart Baiba Braze reaffirmed Israel’s “right to self-defense”
https://responsiblestatecraft.org/latvia-estonia-israel/
Apparently “occupation”, “annexation” and even genocide, is fine, when israel commit the crimes according to these western hypocrites.
Zelensky cockily threat Orban:
Speaking on new weapons for Kiev’s armed forces on Thursday, Zelensky stated: “We hope that one person in the EU will not block the €90 billion… Otherwise, we will give the address of this person to our armed forces, to our guys, so that they call him and communicate with him in their own language.”

Krivorozhie is a meme, like: Krivorozhie school of diplomatic speech (used ironically) , applied to Ze.
Krivorozhie is the name of the city and its suburbs. Oiginally it means :curved horn’/ krivoy rog and due to some linguistics, it’s now ‘curved rozha’. For Russian ear, the rog-rozha interchange the words is natural
So, Krivorozhie is persieved as ‘distorted lying face’

Never ever typing or editing a post was so hard. Is there anything i should make myself known of?re: Germany/USA
The planned deployment of SM6, TLAM and theoretically (because still not operational) Dark Eagle has apparently been canceled.
Which if substantive info would be very good.
German MEP Fabio De Masi in an official post confirms the info I first read buried in a REUTERS news item
“(…)
No new US missiles in Germany? That would be good news for once.Apparently, the deployment of US intermediate-range missiles to Germany, promised by then-Chancellor Olaf Scholz behind the backs of the Bundestag, will no longer take place.
This is good news, as it would have put Donald Trump on the defensive and made Germany a potential war target.
The German Association for Security Policy (BSW) had, for example, successfully pushed through a critique of the deployment plans in the now-terminated coalition agreement in Brandenburg!
ZDF reported at the time:
Military expert and retired Colonel Wolfgang Richter sees “some weaknesses” in the decision. He said on ZDFheute live that one must, above all, weigh the pros and cons, “including the risks.” And a decision that “could lead to pressure for a preemptive strike” could, due to the high speed of cruise missiles and hypersonic missiles, “increase the pressure for a strike in a crisis heading towards conflict.”
Furthermore, Richter continued, there is an arms control situation that “we must not undermine.” Promoting arms control is also a German goal. He fears that “we are not doing that here, but rather failing to promote strategic stability between the US and Russia.” With this decision, Germany has “isolated itself.”
(…)”Finally!
Many rumors about Ze get voiced in the interviewZelensky’s press secretary reveals all: cocaine, cover-ups, and the only obstacle preventing peace

New NYT podcast:Masha Gessen is the best anti-Russia-propagandist the US could hope for and never had to train:
Maybe of interest, if only as a case in point for the embarrassingly low intellectual level of that part of the US elites that think of themselves as the pinnacle of the species. Gessen of course reminds us how bad bad bad the USSR was.
And if you didn´t know: Russia is now a totalitarian state.“There’s a Pattern of Abuse in America”
M. Gessen and Rachel Louise Snyder on the parallels between authoritarianism and domestic violence.

20 Years of War Games in Ukraine
‘Even if there is blood up to our knees, Ukraine would be free.’
https://banderalobby.substack.com/p/20-years-of-war-games-in-ukraineThe history of Ukrainian Neonazis and their educational organisations.
never heard about Gessen, had to google for some info. Well, seeing a photo of her is enough to make me regret paying for the internet. I think this person is particularly upset by the Russian law on the protection of minors from gay propaganda.
Actually, I dropped by to tell you the latest gossip on the topic; I’m guessing no one else will.
Ze’s right-hand man, the head of his office, has been arrested in Ukraine.
The “Mindich tapes” — recordings obtained by investigative agencies — are being discussed. The tapes contain multiple pieces of evidence of brazen corruption, in which Ze is directly involved.
Ze’s wife will likely be arrested too; there are facts against her.
Ze himself, as president, cannot be investigated; the law prohibits it.Some facts have been made public that were previously dismissed as wild conspiracy theories. But in our crazy world, remembering Hunter Biden’s laptop, it seems no conspiracy is too wild these days.
That guy who was Ze’s right-hand man consulted with some “witch”. In other words, he literally sought advice from “supernatural powers.”
Rumors persist that that guy was actually Ze’s gay lover; in any case, the witch had influence over both of them.
The witch convinced Ze that he was the son of Satan and had his protection in everything. By the way, it might explain Ze’s curse: everyone who shook his hand loses their jobs. 🙂The subject of the investigation was actually the construction of a super-elite, duper-expensive cottage community, started by Ze and his close company. For this construction, on the witch’s advice, soil and sand was brought in from a cemetery.
Again, I’m not asking you to believe this and I can’t confirm it in any way. I’m simply retelling the surreal things happening nearby right now. But to avoid being unfounded, I will attach a link to Anatoly Shariy, who actually told about this. YouTube now offers to dub the audio track into your language.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM3m_kZt2TQShariy lives in Spain, and Ukrainian intelligence services attempted to kill him.
Anatoly was sent a court notice requiring him to appear at the courthouse on a specified date and time. It was there that the killers planned to shoot him. Spanish police observed and filmed everything. The faces and names of the people involved are known and made public.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPOI8FUMiQo
I wonder how this story will end.
At least there’s no witchcraft involved; it’s a good old-fashioned killing with a gun.Mendel left her job as Zelensky’s press secretary in 2021. How could she have any inside knowledge of what happened in Istanbul in 2022?
She published a book that same year in which she not only praised Zelensky as having reformed Ukraine for the better but also failed to mention any of the things she spoke about in the interview.
