When #RussianWorld #RusskiyMir comes to you, your life gets destroyed, and everything you loved gets smashed. See what the Russians brought to Ukraine.
1: Bakhmut.
(This THREAD was inspired by @Mariana_Betsa's comparison of Mariupol before and after #RusskiyMirMeansDeath came)
@Mariana_Betsa 2. Sevyerodonetsk before and after #RusskiyMir
3. Maryinka is a proof that #RusskiyMirMeansDeath
4. Chernihiv is a city with over 1000 years of history, and a touristic magnet with all its ancient churches, and beautiful Desna river. I stayed in this hotel "Ukraine" with my colleagues in 2015, and later many times with my kids or alone. #RusskiyMirMeansDeath
5. This hotel in Zaporizhzhya was built with much passion and addressed those guests who wanted to celebrate weddings or other special days with family and friends. Of course #RusskiyMirMeansDeath could not tolerate it.
6. Svyatohirska Monastery was a saint place for hundreds of thousands of Russian-speaking members of the Russian Orthodox Church. But #RusskiyMir is about unlimited violence, not about faith. They destroyed even the places they called "sacred". Because #RusskiyMirMeansDeath
7. Mariupol was a blooming city on the Sea of Azov. Not anymore. #RusskiyMir #RusskiyMirMeansDeath
8. Izyum was a city #RusskiyMir kept under occupation for several months. I visited it after the liberation with a batch of humanitarian help, and recorded my impressions in this thread:
9. This is the essential point one needs to know about #RusskiyMir. It is about domination through unlimited violence. First moral violence, and if it does not work - physical violence. That is why the Russians love to threaten the world with their nukes. In their phantasies...
10. ...the Russians love to dream about how they will annihilate the world with the nukes. Last year, I wrote a piece for @cepa about how the Russians composed children songs about the nukes, and believed in spiritual power of the nukes. It is #RusskiyMir
cepa.org/article/how-ru…
11. So it is not a surprise when Putin delivers his nukes to Lukashenka, or when Medvedev posts his threats on Telegram dreaming on annihilating The Hague. It is the only way of communication #RusskiyMir developed: threats, violence, death. Because #RusskiyMirMeansDeath.

The concept of #RusskiyMir (Russian World) is essential for the Russian imperialism and its war against Ukraine. Let us dive into this concept. A long THREAD:
The concept of #RusskiyMir is not new. It emerged first in the 19th century as a part of Russian imperial philosophy under the names of "Russian Idea", "Russian Spirit" or else, and was related to ideas of pan-Slavism, the unity of Slavonic nations under the rule of Russia /2
During the Soviet era, the idea of #RusskiyMir was not popular in Moscow. But in the 1990s, after the collapse of the USSR, it emerged again in a quite different form. In a "methodology" intellectual sect, Kremlin-close intellectuals developed a concept of "Russian Archipel". /3

The ICC arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin is long overdue. Russia has started forcible transfer of Ukrainian children not in 2022, but in 2014. The system was invented by a "charity" organiser Yelizaveta Glinka, who was cheered by the West: european-resilience.org/analytics/how-…
On this video: Russian occupation authorities transfer Ukrainian children to Russia in October 2022.
Starting from 2014, the "charity" founder Yelizaveta Glinka, known as "Doctor Liza", travelled to Russia-occupied Ukrainian Donbas and kidnapped up to 500 UKR children. She gave hours of interview to RU propagandist Graham Phillips and denied RU military involvement in Donbas.

OTD 140 years ago Karl Marx was born. His economy theory is questionable, but his views on Russia are amazing. Let me quote him:
"There is only one way to deal with a power like Russia, and that is the fearless way."
(New York Tribune on the Crimean War, 7 April 1853) /1
"When the Russian forces first crossed the Pruth, the Tsar had no doubt – as we happened to know and took occasion to state at the time – that he could bully all Europe, and reap laurels at small expense." Ibid
"The Russian bear is certainly capable of anything, so long as he knows the other animals he has to deal with to be capable of nothing."
New-York Daily Tribune, No. 3819, July 14, 1853 Russian Policy Against Turkey /3

It is scary to witness how @ischinger endorses one of the craziest, most stupid, pro-Russian, and probably pro-Chinese “plans” to effectively destroy Ukraine. THREAD /1
The plan white-washes “pressing” (!) of Ukraine into Russia-dominated military CSTO: the topic which is obsolete by 2014 at least. Probably this part is added to be later abandoned as a “compromise”. But the rest is still terrible and is a condition for destruction of Ukraine. /2
(I still cannot ignore the sweet part as the plan speaks of “post-Soviet states”. It is you who are post-Soviet, dude!)
Further, it plays with the idea of “referendum” and de-facto abolishing of Ukrainian sovereignty over the occupied territories. /3

In early Feb 2022, I published a call to 🇩🇪 FM @ABaerbock, who looked to be the sanest person in the GER government and was an author of the “feminist foreign politics”, showing that rape is a part of the Russia’s military doctrine. I urged Annalena to send weapons to Ukraine. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Before publishing this call at @StopFakingNews, I asked @SZ if they were interested in a text about how Russia weaponised rape in its wars in 1990-2022, and why we need to arm Ukraine. @SZ declined. We could have prevented Bucha and other cases. We failed. stopfake.org/en/arming-ukra…
One can remember the general consensus in Germany even days before the full-scale invasion:
1) It will not happen;
2) If it happens, nothing can be done about it;
3) We need to think about the future (aka Minsk 3, diplomacy, change through trade, etc.)
I was like a nightmare.

I visited this exhibition in Berlin. I cried with tears streaming over my face. I started to cry again hours later trying to tell my friend about the exhibition. It was one particular piece of art which rolled over my soul. 196 names of deported Kalmyks sewed on handkerchieves /1 Image
A Kalmyk artist Boova Sarangova created this art. She found, that 196 Kalmyks with the same surname were deported by the Soviets. She started to sew their names and what happened to them. "Sarangova Bulgn Kichikovna. Deported on ethnic reason (Kalmyk). Died on transport 1943". /2 Image
"Died in Siberia 1954". "Died on transport 1943." "Died in Novosibirsk 1944". This artwork is full of death notes. And of respect to the people. One needs to understand: sewing handkerchieves was a typical way to protect one's dignity. To let others know what happened to you. /3
