2024-05-25 22:23:21 Being Russian and maintaining your position and sanity can be difficult. Not many people can handle it. A lot shut down or go insane. However, being mentally strong and facing the challenges that life throws at us is a great test that is bestowed upon us. Russians are truly God's chosen people. Open / Comment

2024-05-25 18:40:28 To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Gerasimov and Shoigu. Their tactics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of military theory most of it will go over a typical zigger's head. There's also Gerasimov's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Venedikt Yerofeyev's books, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of their doctrine, to realize that it's not just effective - it says something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Gerasimov and Shoigu truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Gerasimov's existencial catchphrase "The rules of war have changed" which itself is a cryptic reference to Tolstoy's epic War and Peace. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Gerasimov's and Shoigu's genius unfolds itself on your telegram channels. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Gerasimov and Shoigu tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Open / Comment

2024-05-25 17:43:41 The arrest of Major General Ivan Popov has sparked discontent among the Russian public. The case appears to be a caricature, as Popov is accused of stealing scrap metal meant for use in constructing a defensive line in the Zaporozhye region to counter Ukraine's counteroffensive in the summer of 2023. It is alleged that the metal either didn't reach the defensive line or was sold off, and a year later, a criminal investigation was launched.

Ivan Popov, known for being one of the few generals to personally visit trenches and speak with soldiers, has not amassed significant wealth. He owns an 80-square-meter apartment and an older Mitsubishi Outlander SUV. However, someone is trying to lump him together with Timur Ivanov and the rest of the actually corrupt fat cats in the Ministry of Defense (MoD).

It is also known that there has been a personal disagreement between Popov and his superior, Gerasimov. On July 11th, 2023, General Popov was removed from his position as commander of the 58th Combined Arms Army after the successful repulsion of a Ukrainian counteroffensive earlier that month. The reason for his removal is unclear, but it may have been due to his request for the rotation of his units. General Gerasimov, who lost his temper after Popov's request, accused him of spreading panic and engaging in blackmail. After his removal, Popov was sent to Syria, where he served until May 2024. During this time, he was arrested on charges of fraud. This arrest occurred during a period of purges within the Ministry of Defense, which began with the case of Timur Ivanov. Gerasimov and his associates decided to take revenge on Popov and others they perceived as opponents, for personal reasons. This is how Russian society views the events, at least. Open / Comment

2024-05-24 00:16:37 In Russia, this May was the coldest in the past 80 years. During the first ten days, it snowed all over the European part of the country, causing wheat and barley prices to rise sharply worldwide. This is not typical at all and I refuse to believe that it's just a coincidence.

During the outbreak of Great Patriotic War in 1941, the weather was abnormally cold too. Those severe frosts affected both Russia and the invading army. It seems that there are strong parallels between the unusually cold May of 1941 and the current unusually cold May of 2024.

For the last two years, we have witnessed a "strange war", similar to the one in 1939-41. Now, dozens of Russian generals are getting arrested for corruption and negligence. The Ukrainians are now mobilizing all men, even not-so-able-bodied men, to the front. The Euro-Reich is more encouraged than ever to send supplies and even troops. The US and UK are trying their best to to profit from the situation. Not only is it cold as fuck here, but the situation looks almost identical. It goes to show that people are not the creators of their own reality. Time moves in circles and we are merely cogs in this self-fulfilling machine.

WW3 is brewing, I can feel it chilling my bones already. Open / Comment

2024-05-23 22:02:05 Khodorkovsky-funded Russian anti-Kremlin libs attempted to write a big hit piece on the new Minister of Defence Belousov and literally all the “dirt” they could find on him is that he is a devout Christian and likes his cat a lot.

Also, he was on friendly terms with Prigozhin, and in 2018 he sold a house in Italy for 600k. That's literally it. That's all they could find to try to discredit him. Open / Comment
