“Anything but fair”. Four Russian journalists jailed for 5.5 years over alleged ties to Navalny’s banned Anti‑Corruption Foundation
Antonina Favorskaya, Sergey Karelin, Konstantin Gabov, and Artyom Krieger were accused of producing media content for ACF, but exact actions remain undisclosed
A Moscow court has sentenced four journalists to five and a half years in prison each for allegedly participating in the activities of Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (ACF, ФБК in Russian), which the Kremlin has outlawed as an “extremist” organisation. The verdict was handed down after all hearings were held behind closed doors, with press and public barred from attending.
For nine months in a row, the Lada 2107 has been the most purchased car in Russia.
I honestly wish they sold something like this North America

Is there a way out?
I am referring to the way out of the dangerous military and political situation that has developed in the world since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union, with its military and political might, significantly limited the aggressive policy of the United States in the world. Today, the U.S. has no restrictions on the implementation of its imperialist policies throughout the world. I am in my ninety-fourth year of life. I am a historian and an officer of the Soviet Army of the Air Defense Forces. Participant of the Cuban Missile Crisis. I served in the Soviet Army during the active period of the so-called “cold war”. And we, the officers of the Soviet Army, saw and participated in operations to limit the military-political activities of the United States.
#The collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of Russophobia With the collapse of the socialist camp of the Soviet Union, the United States no longer has the restrictions that existed under the Soviet Union to implement i
Does the President of Georgia set “conditions” for Russia!?
Any state has the right to set some conditions for another state. But in this case, the state that sets the conditions must be either stronger or at least equal in military-economic power. In all other cases, you can only politely ask for something. Therefore, setting some conditions for Russia on the part of Salome is either the height of arrogance or the height of political illiteracy. Well, as a historian who graduated from the university in Tbilisi, I understand that Salome has no idea about the historical relations between Russia and Georgia. She was a Frenchwoman and remained a Frenchwoman, and in case of complications, she would run away to France.
The question is, how does Russia threaten Georgia? Russia protected Ossetia from destruction by the Georgians. If you consider the protection of small people as an occupation, then this is your level of development. If Russia leaves Ossetia, then the next day a frenzied crowd of Georgians will break into it, cut all the Ossetians, lo
WHAT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN HAS HAPPENED
Finally, the inevitable has occurred. Russia now has its self-appointed emperor. This is nothing new when looking at Russian history. Time and again leaders have sacrificed much to strengthen their temporary power into something eternal.
We recall how Peter I treated his sister, or what Elizabeth did to relatives close to her. Catherine the Great never passed the throne to the rightful emperor. Her son Alexander I lived with guilt for his role in his father Paul I's murder. So Putin's actions as emperor are trivial compared to theirs, and most importantly, it is all legal.
But will an "eternal president" truly help the people? It is unlikely based on Putin's 20 years in power. While I don't know the inner workings, it seems he lacks full control over governing. The country lacks diverse industry growth and focuses too much on defense.
It is normal for leaders to claim everything was bad before they arrived. But we shouldn't disrespect our history. Russia has always developed weapons
My Letter to the Chairman of the Russian State Duma
I was born in 1930. I am an ex-colonel in the Soviet army. Considering my age, you probably understand how many trials my life has brought. I have an education as a historian, and I consider everything happening in our country from a historical point of view. As a historian, I cannot explain why in a country so devastated, a portion of our world falls to 20 million people who struggle, and approximately 50 million people are on the brink of poverty? At the same time, in Japan, which is much smaller than our entire seventh part of the world and where there are over 100 million inhabitants, people live better than us. And yet no one possesses the same volumes of natural wealth as we do.
What are the main reasons for such a situation? You hold one of the most important positions. You lead the Duma, chosen by the people. Do you not see the horror and torment our people are going through? Deputies should be accountable to their constituents and be held accountable themselves. They have be
