Horrifying new evidence of plans for #RussianWarCrimes. The representative of the People's Militia of the Donets People's Republic (a Russian puppet state), Eduard Basurin, said today that they should use chemical weapons against Ukrainian defenders at Azovstal' in Mariupol
because of the underground structure and number of defenders and also said it would save the lives of Russian soldiers. Also because Russians don't seem to care if people know that they're considering war crimes because they'll just deny them afterwards anyway.

Alexander Dugin, sometimes called "Putin's brain," sees Germany as "Axis Europa" shielding Russia from the rest of the West. Map from Dugin's 1997 textbook, widely taught in military academies since then: 1) Axis Eurasia 2) Axis Europa 3) marginalized West @MAStrackZi @fdpbt a🧵 Image
Dugin, who is a neo-Nazi, argues that Russia and Germany will naturally divide up Europe into spheres of influence. 1997 textbook map below. The textbook came from his lectures to the Russian General Staff and was commissioned by the Russian Defense Minister. @ToniHofreiter 2/ Image
In the 1997 work, Foundations of Geopolitics, Dugin says that Ukraine, Moldova, and the "near abroad" can only be kept in a Russian bloc with the help of Germany. The Eurasian Empire, below, is what Axis Europa/ Germany is helping to build. See Jane Burbank's @nytimes op ed 3/ Image

In the @Independent, I argue that a recent article by Timofei Sergeitsev lays out a plan for the #GenocideOfUkrainians. Honored to be quoted with @ZelenskyyUa and @eugene_finkel. This should be picked up widely by the press. When we talk about intent, let's start using the
sources we already have. It includes a link to my translation of the plan for genocide. @StevenErlanger @nytimes @cnnbrk @maddow @ABlinken @jensstoltenberg @AtlanticCouncil @infobae @francska1 @cbcDougDirks @TzviJoffre @UmlandAndreas @razomforukraine @EstherJay10 @thedispatch
To publish a plan for genocide while carrying one out shows an incredible sense of impunity. @BrianKarem @lapatina_ @KyivIndependent @nadinbrzezinski @CalltoActivism @MacaesBruno @arstotzia @nadinbrzezinski @BrianKarem @lapatina_ @KyivIndependent @steven_seegel @fmod1 @avalaina

On Sunday, an official Russian news agency released a plan for the genocide of the Ukrainian people. Here's my annotated, revised translation: Bit.ly/3JpcT0t @StevenErlanger @infobae @francska1 @arstotzia @MacaesBruno @nadinbrzezinski @cbcDougDirks @AndrewBuncombe A🧵
Ukrainian politicians and military leaders will be liquidated, it states. Forced labor awaits the rest. All Ukrainian history, culture, and symbols will be repressed and the population will be forcibly reeducated over 25 years. @TzviJoffre @UmlandAndreas @razomforukraine
I include an introduction with one of the author's statements from 2006: mass politics means that “nothing but the lash is required.” @EstherJay10 @thedispatch @arstotzia @MacaesBruno @nadinbrzezinski @BrianKarem @lapatina_ @KyivIndependent @RussianWarCrime @EmineDzheppar @fmod1
