2/ #Prigozhin referred to a “happy grandfather” figure who “thinks that he is good” during a discussion of ammunition shortages and #Russia’s future prospects in #Ukraine.
3/ #Prigozhin then rhetorically asked what #Russia and future generations should do and how Russia can win if the “grandfather” turns out to be a “complete asshole.”
#Putin declined to use his #VictoryDay address to make any significant rhetorical changes and reiterated existing narratives, preparing for a protracted war & framing #Russia as successfully resisting the entire West.

#Putin is attempting to use the #Moscow #VictoryDay parade to show #Russia’s continued influence in Central Asia but the late announcement of Central Asian leaders’ attendance likely indicates their reticence to show direct & public support of the war.🧵⬇️isw.pub/UkrWar050823

Allow me for #VictoryDay to deviate from my subject to share with you excerpts from the memoirs of my late grandmother.
Allow me for #VictoryDay to deviate from my subject to share with you excerpts from the memoirs of my late grandmother.
In fact, this is not very far from my usual subject, which was sometimes (partly) inspired by WW2 and the fight against fascism. Star Wars is a good example. By the way, #StarWarsVisions The Spy Dancer by @Studiocachette , released a few days ago, is inspired by real events.
These memoirs were written in the 2nd half of the 20th century, transcribed by my brother after my grandmother's death, and then translated by myself.
Here are four extracts from the life of my beloved grandmother, Jacqueline, in France during WW2. In 1944, she was 12 years old.

While #RussiaIsANaziState spent all night bombing us on eve of their 9 May myth, I use that time to deploy truth of this myth because this is all Russia has. Nothing else. Lies. #VictoryDay 🧵
1. Russia exists as nation of stolen cultures, people, achievements. This country is held together by myth of greatness that Russia alone defeated Nazi Germany. As you see even now, they lie about who they are and who everyone else is.
2. Without Russia there would have been no Nazis to defeat and no WWII to end. Russia funded German socialists also known as Nazis and provided resources in exchange for Nazi weapons:

As Europe is yet again left with a fascist dictator dreaming of resurrecting an empire, let’s talk Victory Day in Russia and Ukraine.
To understand modern Russian identity and how the invasion of Ukraine perfectly fits into it, you have to take a close look at the #VictoryDay.

It might surprise a lot of people, but the Soviet Victory Day was not nearly as big as it is in modern Russia.
In fact, Victory Day in Russia is basically what independence day means for most other nations.

Victory Day provides a perfect bridge between the imperial, Soviet, and d modern-day Russia. It also feeds the unresolved imperialist ambitions of Russia.

Russians are celebrating #VictoryDay on May 9. USSR and Russia raised generations on the idea that the defeat of nazism belonged solely to Moscow. This artificial cult of victory has created 20-year-old murderers and rapists who committed atrocities in Ukraine. How? A thread
For decades, the Soviet regime offered an alternative to reality: The Great Patriotic War (41-45) instead of WW2 (39-45). If Ukraine took a turn to the truth after the USSR collapsed, Russia only strengthened their victory madness.
This reality stated that only #Russia defeated nazis, ignoring the Western front, lend lease and that most battles happened in Ukraine. They avoided the term “nazism” as it correlated with socialism and collaboration with Germany. Everyone was called fascist, even Hitler.
Why did #Russia invade #Ukraine? Is it because Ukraine wanted to join NATO? Or because #Putin sees Ukrainian as part of the Russian whole? It's a lot simpler.
In this thread I will give the overall reason for the #RussiaUkraineWar and explain the Russian political doctrine. [1]

Russia sees itself as a logical successor to the U.S.S.R, and considers that it established itself as a world super-power on 9 May 1945. Once the Soviet flag flew over the Reichstag, the world entered its new post-colonial order, one in which Russia is calling the shots. [2]
This is why the #VictoryDay is the most grandiose Russian holiday, and why the "victory" motif is so prevalent in the modern Russian discourse. [3]

In Lakota, the day has a few different names; Peji Sla el Kicizapi (the fight at the greasy grass), Peji Sla el Wicakasotapi Hehan (when they wiped them out at the Greasy Grass), and, my favorite, Mila Hanska Wicakastakapi Hehan (when they made the long knives cry).
Prior to the battle Tatanka Iyotake (Sitting Bull) had a vision of soldiers falling into the camp, which they did. It would become the second time in a decade that the US military would get eliminated completely by the Lakota Oyate, first in 1866 when Crazy Horse
