THREAD Regarding the question "who could stay behind Darya Dugina's death". We need to separate many topics here. 1) Dugina was a devoted and important Nazi propagandist and a party member, but WAY far from being a star in Russia. In Ukraine or else she wasn't known at all; 1/x
2) Her father Alexandr was way more famous. But he was not as important as he wanted us to believe. His ideas were taken, stolen, appropriated, used by the Kremlin, but he personally was never allowed to belong to Kremlin's inner circle. He was always a 3rd class starlet; 2/x
3) Ok, who was the target - he or she? The car was registered on the father's name, and he was intended to drive it, as some of his friends said. It can be, he was targeted (as anyway he was more prominent). The only way she was targeted is, when HE planned the murder; 3/x
3.1) Let me elaborate on this. It is not as weird as one can think. Dugin was a philosopher of the cult of death and sacrifice. He always said, that the death experience is the most important one. He was a Death Eater. In his "Eurasist" ideology a mighty Father sacrificing... 4/x
3.2) ...his daughter's life could really be something titanic, bringing supernatural powers into movement, and improving his (weakend) position. Be like a legendary King. Still, this is only one of the ideas. I just want to say, it is not unthinkable. What do we have further? 5/x
4) Russian FSB or other Kremlin groups. I would say, it is the most realistic version. Here 2 very opposite motives can be in place:
4.1) Intensifying the war via playing the card "Ukrainians are killing us in Moscow!"
4.2) Exit strategy sending signals to the hawks "shut up" 6/x
4.3) I know, that these motives oppose each other. This should not surprise you. There can be different ideas within the FSB leadership, and different orders can be given. One can imagine, that some groups want to intensify the war, and others want to look for exit strategies 7/x
4.3.1.) Dugin can be targeted by both groups - as it is not important that he was targeted (and killed in the successful scenario), but what informational campaign follows. "We must fight back!" or "Look what insanity Dugin brought to us". 8/x
5) Could the Ukrainian commandos stay behind this attack? I doubt it. Dugin was not the most prominent Russian propagandist. He was not the face of Russian aggression for Ukrainians. Skabeyeva, Solovyov, Tolstoy, Kiselyov, Simonyan - anyone would be a more logical target. 9/x
6) And of course, one should not forget the cannibalizing tendencies within the far-right Russian groups. Could Dugin be hatred by somebody here? Sure. Do these people know how to install bombs? Oh yes, many of them fought in Ukraine. This motive cannot be ignored. 10/x
7) Anyway, for practical means, it is important to see, how the Kremlin will use this news. Even if it was not Kremlin, they will start to use this explosion. An attack in luxury Odintsovo district, where all the Ministers and Putin himself have their villas, will be used. 11/x
7.1.) We will witness very soon, what profit Kremlin (but also other far-rights) will try to get out of the death of the Nazi Darya Dugina. END.
UPDATE: in his April 2020 article, Alexandr Dugin clearly wrote, that parts of the elite should be groomed with one purpose - to be killed (sacrificed) amid challenging times, so the society could magically buy back the lost support of the Gods. Does it give us any call?
UPDATE2: On his esotheric far-right esotericweb-page "Arctogaea" Alexandr Dugin literally had a huge article about the ancient mystical tradition to sacrifice children, including a case of a father sacrificing his daughter's life: : arcto.ru/article/1655
UPDATE3: Aleksandr Dugin publishes a statement, literally saying Dugina was "put her girl virgin's life onto the altar" (девичья is literally "girl virgins's"), and in his speech at her funeral calls "not to mourn but fight":
Here, about "girl virgin's life on the victory altar"

THREAD What we witness now from the White House, is a clear smearing campaign aimed not only at @ZelenskyyUa but on Ukraine at whole. Zelensky is being used as a target, but with a goal to weaken Ukraine in whole, and to strengthen Moscow. Let me explain: 👇
President @ZelenskyyUa was verbally attacked by President Trump many times, with the following four main accusation lines:
a) Zelensky is ungrateful
b) Zelensky is corrupt
c) Zelensky is a dictator
d) Zelensky has started the war / is interested in war.
Nothing is true. 2/x👇
@ZelenskyyUa President Zelensky has thanked the U.S. people dozens of times for the help provided. "Corruption" is a typical russian lie, used also by russia-friendly voices, who claimed with no proves that Ukraine-delivered arms were "stolen". But let us address other accusations 3/x👇
Some thoughts on recent russian missile attacks on Ukrainian cities 1) russia is facing a huge and growing problem with its offensive slowing down, unsustainably high losses, and even some Ukrainian counter-offensive in Pokrovsk region; 2) russia uses two tactics to counter it:👇
3) First, russia starts "negotiations". The goal is to slow Ukraine down, to limit Ukrainian striking freedom (ban Ukrainian strikes on the Black Sea navy, on russian oil refineries etc.), while accumulating military power; 4) Second, russia increases PsyOps against Ukraine. 👇
4.1) russia's missile strikes on Ukraine's cities are demonstratively brutal: ballistic missiles with cluster munition warheads aiming civilians' gatherings, incl. children playgrounds;
4.2) at the same time, russia spreads false info that they have targeted military personnel👇
THREAD: Ok, let us have a sober look at the U.S. - Ukraine - Russia - EU constellation. First: the U.S. - Ukraine agreement was not necessary for Ukraine. It was not necessary for the U.S. as well. It was necessary only for Trump, therefore he is vulnerable. Let me explain. /1
The "agreement" didn't provide Ukraine with anything. It was aimed on payment for the U.S. from Ukraine (and practically allowed the U.S. to mine Ukrainian resources on Russia-occupied lands). Trump needed it to prove that he is a great dealer. But why did Ukraine need it? /2
The agreement did not foresee any U.S. military support, guarantees, even "commitments". Ukraine paid retrospective for what they have got for free. So for Ukraine, it was a pure cost factor, for Trump - pure profit factor. And he needed it asap. Therefore - he was vulnerable. /3
In four weeks, Feb. 23rd, Germany will have preliminary elections. In this THREAD I will try to explain what it is about, who would probably win, where are bottlenecks, and what it means for the world and for Ukraine. /1 ⬇️
First, we need to understand: German electoral system is designed to dilute votes. No job higher than a city mayor gets elected directly. The reason is the Nazi past: no politician may claim being elected by the PEOPLE. So people vote for parties, and they name politicians. /2⬇️
So people vote for parties, and parties need 50%+1 vote to name a head of a region, or a chancellor. Normally, no party gets over 50%, so a coalition is needed (on a federal level, conservatives from the CDU under Adenauer have got 50,2% in 1957, but still formed a coalition)/3⬇️
Yesterday in Davos, Germany's guru diplomat and Merkel's minion @ischinger made some absolutely crazy statements, effectively urging for occupation of Ukraine by BRICS countries (and promoted his wife's book in the beginning). In this THREAD I explain why this was terrible /1 ⬇️
Let us deconstruct Ischinger step by step. First, he claims Western peace troops in Ukraine must follow a rule "all in - all out". Who told you so? NATO countries supported Ukraine on their own all the time. Had we waited for Hungary and Scholz, 🇺🇦 would never get anything /2 ⬇️
Second. Ischinger claims, European NATO troops may not be sent, because they would automatically and never be able to fight without a presence of the U.S. troops. Hallo, Ischi, ever asked how Ukrainian troops fight quite successfully without the U.S. troops on the ground? /2 ⬇️
A THREAD: Our 2024 #ChristmasDrones campaign is running! Why it is important, and how we at the @EuroResilience deliver donated goods directly to the frontline? Get insight from this THREAD (And a donation link: ) /1paypal.com/donate?campaig…
During our last donation campaign by @EuroResilience @BrennpunktUA and @frontlinekit, we have raised €277,000. For this money, we have produced hundreds of drones, and bought addition equipment for the drones units: off-the-shelf drones, cars, antennas, power stations. /2
@EuroResilience @BrennpunktUA @frontlinekit I personally traveled days through Ukraine, bringing equipment directly to the frontline. When you stay at the units, sleep in their premises, eat with soldiers, and escape Russian drones attacks, this creates bonds. Soldiers tell you what they REALLY need, and trust you. /3
