Russian state TV's personal attacks on Truss are one thing, but this, coming from ex-PM Medvedev is something else

He says she's an "incompetent and mediocre thermonuclear Russophobe" who "poses as Margaret Thatcher without having even 5% of her ability"
t.me/medvedev_teleg…
He adds that she'll "quarrel with everyone, fail everything, and leave (office) in disgrace"

Russian rock star Sergei Shnurov's transformation is surely now complete

This photo of him in the "LNR" town of Irmino alongside "Putin's chef" Yevgeny Prigozhin and Georgy Bolonev, who acted in the 2021 film The Tourist (reportedly backed by Prigozhin), is circulating online Image
Here's a good overview of the film and its context by @PjotrSauer themoscowtimes.com/2021/05/21/new…
Turns out the photo was first posted by Bolonev on Instagram with the caption "Getting ready to shoot a new film in a good location"

So Russians should at some point expect a "blockbuster" centred on Wagner's exploits in Ukraine

Serbian President Vucic alleges that Kosovo is going to launch a military operation tonight and this member of his party is talking about Serbia needing to "denazify" the Balkans

Very worrying signs
That said, this is from someone who has a much better idea than me of what's going on there:
I'm told by a Serbian friend that Djukanovic is here apologising for his tweet and saying he created unnecessary problems for Vucic

Russia's FSB claims that it foiled an assassination attempt organised by Ukraine on state TV's Vladimir Solovyov
Here's the list of what they apparently seized in a raid: One IED, eight Molotov cocktails, six Makarov pistols, a sawed-off shot gun, a grenade, over 1,000 rounds of ammo, drugs, forged Ukrainian passports, and "nationalist literature and paraphernalia"

Sounds very realistic
And in these pictures from the raid we have a "Ukrainian neo-Nazi starter pack" courtesy of the FSB

British "journalist" Graham Phillips is on Russian state TV's Antifake programme offering support for their wild claims, but his Russian is so ropey that in places they've had to add subtitles

An op-ed for state news agency RIA Novosti titled "What Russia should do with Ukraine" by pundit Timofei Sergeitsev has created quite a stir today

The rhetoric is truly horrific, even by the standards of what I'm used to seeing from pro-Kremlin media

Below are a few quotes:
"Denazification is a set of measures aimed at the nazified mass of the population, which technically cannot be subjected to direct punishment as war criminals"
"However, besides the elite, a significant part of the masses of the people, who are passive nazis, are accomplices to Nazism. They have supported the Nazi authorities and indulged them..."

Russian state TV's Dmitry Kiselyov as predictable as ever tonight

"Ukraine is literally being dragged into war with Russia"
Studio caption: "Constructing a provocation"

"In the coming week America will invent a provocation, or has already invented one, to accuse Donbas, which means Russia too, of invading Ukraine"
Studio caption: "The target is Russia"

"We definitely don't need a war. Neither do the Ukrainians. The Europeans don't need a war on their continent. But the Americans and English need one. By fighting by proxy, the Americans are hoping to weakening Russia."
