Today on Mark Solonin’s YouTube Chanel there is another fascinating video in his “technicum” (a word use for technological higher schools in Russia & much of Eastern Europe), that is, how he calls his presentations devoted to technical (usually related to aviation) aspects of

recent history (this includes a series of talks on the development of atom bombs). Mark Solonin is the leading “revisionist” (i.e. one who rejects the official Soviet version) of WWII on the Eastern Front (aka “The Great Patriotic War”) as well as an aviation engineer, who used

to work on secret Soviet projects in Samara (in Soviet days “Kuybyshev”). Now Solonin has finally turned to a subject that I was long hoping he would take up: the Smolensk air disaster of 2010. I have listened only to about a half of the talk & will report on the whole later.

But it’s clear that Solonin concentrated on the technical aspects and does not intend to make a definite conclusion. What he does do is to totally demolish the official report by MAK (mak-iac.org/o-mak/ ) the ludicrously misnamed “International Aviation Committee”

(actually its members are only states belonging to Commonwealth of Independent States and the actual “investigative committee consisted of “experts” from Russia, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan). Solonin carefully shows that the entire report is a pack of lies and fabrications.

I shall report more on this after I have listened to the whole piece (assuming I find some time - there is no written script and translating from YouTube is time consuming) but I can’t resist this fragment, at the beginning:
“There was this no less terrible tragedy on the

31st October 2015 a Russian passenger plane crashed over the Sinai Peninsula. Hundreds of persons died. Anyone who remembers (anyone who doesn’t can look at the screen now) will recall that the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation immediately started promoting the

version that it was a technical fault, and they all knew perfectly that it wasn’t terrorism. However, your humble servant, on the date that you can see (Nov 11), based absolutely on publicly available information (I have never had and could not have any insider

information) published in Fontanka, his opinion that it was a terrorist explosion. So all the trolls rushed to the site and commented that this psychopath always imagines explosions, but another 11 days passed and the 17th November 2015, he was then President, not Prime Minister,

ordered the elimination of those responsible. Thus they all admitted that it was an act of terrorism. So sometimes even a blogger can see something significant.”
