freedom is slavery, slavery is freedom

that's not only Orwell, but the current narratives of the Russian propaganda. Here's a short analysis of a few publications at ukraina .ru, a Russian Ukraine-focused propaganda site 1/8
one of the articles argues that today's Ukraine is... leading towards totalitarianism! Not Russia but Ukraine, can you imagine? The article argues, for example, that Zelensky is heading towards building a "completely dependent, totalitarian society" 2/8
today's Ukraine is a "voiceless totalitarian society of people who are not citizens but political slaves, whose capacity to resist is finally broken" 3/8 source: ukraina.ru/20220819/10378…
another article deplores Ukrainian "russophobia" and identifies it with "nazism". It tells a story of a "total nazification of education in Ukraine"; people who are now going to the frontline are those which were "zombified" and "ideologically deformed and nazified" 4/8
it suggests that on Russian-occupied territories RU soldiers should teach Ukrainian children in schools: "at each school the veterans of the SMO (("special military operation")) should teach children not only history, but other subjects too" 5/8 source: ukraina.ru/20220818/10378…
let's conclude. Russia is an authoritarian neo-fascist state leading towards a true totalitarianism. No freedom of speech for decades, huge propaganda, ban of real opposition parties, opposition leaders in jail or killed. 6/8
it wages a war against a democratic country where presidents are changing regularly, which has a plural political process and freedom of speech. It says this country is actually "totalitarian". Why? because it hates Russia, the aggressor. 7/8
and this Urkainian anger towards a genocidal, terrorist and aggressive country, Russia, which invades Ukrainian territory and kills Ukrainians on a massive scale - this anger RU propaganda calls... "nazism". So nice 8/8

The story of Nataliya Popko, who managed to evacuate from Mariupol with her old cat Martha. 1/12 #UkraineWorldTestimony
My Scottish Fold Martha is already 16. What has she not yet experienced, and now a war! A real war in Mariupol. It was 56 days of hell in our apartment. Practically alone. 2/12
My cat is my heroine. When the invasion began, she, like all of us, did not yet fully understand what had happened. Apparently, her cat's heart did not believe it until the end. Like us, she had no idea what to expect. 3/12

The story of Nadiya Lytovchenko, whose husband was killed in the war. #UkraineWorldTestimony 1/12
I am 38 and a widow. My husband died in the war. Yes, at war, in the 21st century, in the center of Europe. This is who I am now. 2/12
I don't feel like myself anymore. My body does not fully belong to me. I either don't eat or eat too much. The taste of the food is lean and bland. Periodically, I catch myself thinking that I am eating what my husband loved. 3/12
