    Ideas and possibilities for 2023

    Here and here the same man from Krasnoyarsk is selling a 2nd degree commemorative mark for the All-Union Rifle Shooting Record. He says that it is a mark of Vasiliy Borisov. The engraving on the back is wrong (?) "To V.V. Borisov", it should be "To V.F. Borisov". Ask the seller a question ©

    @NightCoffee 1. The Potatoes-Führer's are often compared to Gollum. Dislodge him - he will die himself. Text: Belarus is my precious, and precious is not given away.

If he is talking about Lukashenko's ailments, perhaps the Kremlin is monitoring public opinion before his planned removal.

    The Ukraine Crisis

    Today, the Christian Visions group has learned that the City Council of Winchester, England has decided that the St. Elizabeth Monastery cannot participate in the Christmas market in their city - because of their support for the war. Various civil society organisations have asked the town council to ban the monastery's participation in the Christmas market. As we wrote earlier, St Elisabeth's Monastery supports Russian aggression against Ukraine not only on the level of propaganda, but also participates in financing outfits, including military ones, for Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine. https://t.me/christianvision/2965

    Notable Victims of the Russo-Ukrainian war

    @Lafaucheuse As someone who observes from the inside, I think the active phase will last at least another seven to ten months. A large part of the population believes the propaganda and supports the government.

    Vladimir Putin

    Ten years ago a funny thing happened which, in my humble opinion, deserves a mention in this thread. So, in 2012, Medvedev was playing the role of President of Russia and Putin was already preparing to succeed him. For propaganda purposes they launched the slogan "Putin works!" and set up a website "ЧтоСделалПутин.РФ" (WhatDidPutin.RF). On 14 February 2012 the website reported that Putin had met with the former governor of Chelyabinsk Region, Pyotr Sumin. The website contained a transcript of the meeting, where the state of metallurgy in the region was discussed. In fact, Pyotr Ivanovich Sumin had been dead for a year by then (cancer). The news had been moved to a different address, stripped of the date, and replaced with "Moscow and the Moscow Region" instead of "Chelyabinsk Region". The incident received significant coverage in the blogosphere of Russia. https://www.newsru.com/russia/21feb2012/sumin.html
