Olexii Vadatursky, 74. A Ukrainian self-made billionaire, who has revived grain export and river bulk transport industries. A person who supported medics amid the pandemic. Killed today with his wife by a targeted Russian missile strike while sleeping in their house in Mykolaiv.
Vadatursky was a founder of Nibulon grain transportation company, a high-tech giant which made possible to feed hundreds of millions of people worldwide. He could leave Mykolaiv - but he stayed at his city, which he loved. Russians go on with their genocide, targeting best people

Russians are copy-pasting Nazis, including Nazis from the Soviet movies. The story of Nazis burning alive prisoners locked in a barn is essential for Soviet storytelling about WW2 (see "Come and See" 1985 movie by Elem Klimov). No surprise Russians wanted to taste this feeling.
you can see the full movie (English subtitles, a lot of violence) here, for example starting with the scene of a village pacification and barn burning:
to be clear: it is a terrible movie created by a psycho. Klimov has killed a cow during the film production "for realism", has forced survivors of a similar massacre to play peasants (and triggered their shock reaction), and had a former SS soldier as an actor playing an SS-man
Read this great thread by Kamil. I confirm every point. I was at a mid-position between "white" and "black" in Russian hierarchy. So at school (a military-dominated city) I was bulled as "black", "jew" and "negro". While studying in Moscow though, I was never stopped by police...
..except of 2 cases: once I was walking with my friend who was clearly "black" (i.e. a Georgian-looking Jew), and I was controlled together with him. Or as I have given a police guy a very angry look and had eye contact with him. So looking at my pic you can see the borderline.
In some cases, my face was enough to spark hate, in others not. Interestingly, as I came to Moscow in early 2014, and tried to rent an apartment, I have experienced all these "only Slavs" or "strictly Slavs" or "only Russians" ads. A fun fact: my colleagues tried to convince me..
In Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, a huge poster says: "Time to resurrect!" presenting a map of the Soviet Union, a "Z" symbol and a Russian Nazi "imperka" flag. Under the call: a pawn shop and a micro-credits office are working, providing Russians with little cash for 10,000% or more.
Note the mall name "Eden" on the top, written with Betina Script font. This font is extremely popular in RU since 1990s. It is technically a copy of hand-wrinting of German designer Betina Kuntzsch, developed by Russian designer Alexander Tarbeev in 1992. paratype.ru/fonts/pt/betin…
This script has been so massively used in Russia (and in Ukraine too), that it turned into a no-go-design solution already in the early 2000s. Still, provincial supermarkets love it, so you can find logos of markets written with this script (of course pirated software) everywhere
Russia regularly arrests Westerners on fake charges to use them later as exchange material to release Russian convicted murders and terrorists jailed abroad. It's time to forbid our citizens to travel to or through Russia, to avoid such situations. edition.cnn.com/2022/07/29/pol…
In 2019, Israeli citizen Naama Issachar was arrested by Russian terror regime on her flight change stopover in Moscow. Russians have "found" "drugs" in her luggage, and used her as a hostage for exchange for Alexey Burkov, a alleged Russian cyber criminal bbc.com/news/world-eur…
This case is not an exemption. In 2021, Russians arrested US citizen Marc Fogel - also for "drugs smuggling". Marc was a former Marine and a former employee of the US embassy, who stayed in Russia as an English teacher (and lost his immunity). nytimes.com/2022/07/09/wor…
Twitter blocks my account because of a tweet in which I reveal how Russian anti-Ukrainian "journalist" Ragozin tried to white-wash Russian soldiers who tortured and kill a Syrian deserter, and blamed Ukrainians instead. Good reason to repeat this THREAD according Twitter rules
In June 2017, a video of Russian torture on a Syrian deserter emerged. Russians have sledged-hammered his hands and feet while he was alive. A "liberal RU journalist" Ragozin who spread a lot of hate against Ukraine, tried to white-wash Russians and blame Ukrainians in that case.
A year later, a full video of the torture leaked. Russians have killed the Syrian deserter, cut off his hands and head, wrote on his body "Glory to Airborne Troops" and burned the rest of the body on a bonfire. Russian GRU Wagner spetznaz made this sledgehammer torture to advert.
THREAD: OTD 2014, Germany’ biggest TV @ARD_Presse chief of political show Monitor Georg Restle : „Ukrainian military terrorizes civilians too. It shells living and bedrooms. Suffering of people does not bother them, and they obviously care even less for the lives (of civilians)…
…Europe cannot and may not tolerate this. As Moscow is responsible for rowdy soldiers who kidnap, torture and kill the innocents, European governments are co-responsible for indiscriminately killing by a government which they (European governments) led to power…
…This is why one needs a clear message to the rulers in Kyiv. The terror against civilians population must stop. Artillery shelling of residential areas must immediately stop. If not - Europe is co-responsible. Civilians killed in street fighting in Donetsk and Luhansk will be…
