seven sri-lanka citizens share harrowing account of spending months as slaves to russian soldiers in occupied vovchansk in eastern ukraine. starved, tortured, abused daily, @suspilne_news reports
“every day they gave us the opportunity to go to the bathroom for 2 minutes. there was a shower once every 5 days. for 2 minutes. they fed us very little, twice a week in small portions,” recalls one of the rescued hostages
russians denailed one of the hostages, subjected another to daily beatings “for fun.” kidnapped foreigner receive no medical care, even after severe assaults. all were forced to clean after the invaders and cater to them.
according to their testimonies, these folks arrived to kupiansk in eastern ukraine several weeks before genocide: to study and work.

the only difference between putin fascists and navalny fascists is that the latter are unpopular and disrespected even by their own people.
what navalny fascists are avoiding to admit to foreigners in public that it is simply impossible to get popular backing in russia if you are not a fascist reinforcing white supremacy, imperial and colonial foundation of russian nationalism
that’s why you never hear navalny gang expressing any heartbreak over genocide in ukraine. they are only pissed off that it ruins russian reputation and destroys the myth of russian greatness. their problem is not in russian fascism, but that it is not effective enough.

расизм - це росія.
сексизм - це росія.
гомофобія - це росія.

наша українська традиція це свобода.
друзі, у кого є питання до цього формулювання, заохочую рісерчнути для інтересу про довгу історію як московська колоніальна імперія насаджувала україні легально та культурно гомофобію, мізогінію та про інтерналізований расизм
це не означає що ці прояви унікальні тільки для московії, але не можна ігнорувати суттєвий вплив московської культурної колонізації щодо питань які є центральними для світогляду їх фашизму та домінування
