Hello, great-grandfather Vasily!

We are again on the eve of the Victory Day. And I want to ask your forgiveness. Forgive us for failing, forgetting about your exploits and war heroes. In the eternal disputes we have lost the main thing – our history. Image
After all, you defended Moscow, froze in the Belarusian swamps, liberated Prague. And now they say that it was in vain. That your victory was an occupation, that Leningrad could have bn surrendered, that I should pity the Nazis, and that the Victory Parade is a victory psychosis. Image
Can I do that?

Of course not! Image
Hello, Grandpa Miron!

They told me how you were chasing the Banderovites through the forests of Ukraine without thinking about sleep or warmth. Liberating and slowly advancing. Seeing villages burned down by them and children killed. Image
You got rid of these scum, not sparing your life. And now their descendants say they were heroes. And I am now supposed to say: “Glory to the heroes” and disown you, the Soviet soldier. Image
They say they won the war, but as before they are fighting children and old people, destroying towns and villages, leaving behind scorched earth and ash on their boots. Can it be so, if only 77 years have passed since the Victory? It can. I’m sorry we couldn’t destroy them all. ImageImageImage
Hello, great-grandmother Elsa.

Sorry for the yellow star being in vogue again, only this time for the Russians. Now they say that a Russian is not a liberator, but a subhuman. How familiar. They used to say the same thing about you during the pogroms in Lviv and Kiev. Image
Who gave them the right to decide who is worthy to be called a human and who is not? We did. By our indifference to our history. Image
Hello, Russian soldier!

Forgive us for not being able to keep our world from war. We calmed down and thought that a peaceful life was forever, and that freedom is granted without a fight. It turned out that it wasn’t. Image
Fascism is all around us. It is once again marching across our land, flashing its flags and chevrons of Azov, Aydar and the Right Sector. It is all around us. It is already here. And that is why you are again back in line, as you were in that terrible year of 41. Image
You are a Chechen, a Bashkir, an Ossetian, an Abkhaz, an Ukrainian, a Buryat or a Belarusian. You are a Russian soldier, whoever you are! You came to defend those who are weak and helpless. You have come to win. Again and again. Image
Again & again. As once in the trenches of Stalingrad, so now in the steppes of Donbas.

This war will be as hard as it was then. Not everyone will be able to live to this victory, but fascism will be destroyed and will never raise its head again. I believe that victory will come. Image
The rebuilt cities of Ukraine and Donbass will celebrate May 9. Kyiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, Odessa, Sloviansk, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk and other cities will have a parade, where, as many years ago, the Victory Banner will be carried. Image
And the flags of that Nazi Ukraine will be thrown to the monuments of heroes. And we will wait for that victory.

🧵This is Pekka Kallioniemi, the Finn behind the #vatniksoup series, something in between the Myrotvorets and english tabloids.
Pekka is a postdoctorate fellow at Tampere University, Finland whose specialty includes ... social media, propaganda and disinformation (sic) Image
Pekka has created +/- 200 🧵 on people he associates with Russia who are
- professional journalists guilty of providing balance on the conflict
- "pro-Russian" accounts whose only sin is to be tired of the Russophobia/ Western hegemony
- Peace activists (stop the bloodshed) Image
His "entries" aren't without flaws and errors but they're not supposed to be accurate. They espoused the tabloid format aimed at triggering reactions or upsetting the subject. To this effect, he doesn't hide his chauvinism and bigotry, smearing his subjects. Image

How many monuments must be erected to Nazi murderers, streets named after them and days of remembrance before @IAPonomarenko admits that the Nazi gangrene is deeper than tattoos and insignia?
In Kalush a street named after Dmytro Paliyiv of the Nazi Waffen SS «Galizia» #Ukraine ImageImage
Kyiv City Council named street after antisemitic editor of Nazi n/paper «Volyn» in Rivne - Ulas Samchuk. Samchuk wrote many articles justifying murders and calling to kill Jews. N/paper published 318 anti-Jewish pieces while 25k Jews in Rivne were killed, incl. 6k Jewish children Image
As of today there are over 100 plaques, parks, streets, monuments named after Stepan Bandera the Ukrainian OUN-B leader.
In Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kiev, Ternopil ...
Zhovkva welcomed the Nazi invasion of Ukraine with banners: “Heil Hitler! Glory to Petliura! Glory to Bandera!” ImageImage

Born in the former Soviet Union, I am asked - I can't keep quiet either - about the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Unsurprisingly 99% of people repeat mass media talking points ad nauseam, which renders the conversation predictable and annoying.
Something that struck me though (1
Is how little they know abt either country. Ask anyone when Ukraine was an independent state prior to 1991 and ...🥴
Never 😮
Ask them how minorities in Ukraine
About Donbas
Every time they repeat "Yes but Putin ... imperialist ... genocidal maniac blah blah"
They know nothing.
Since I know many of them, I ask what happened to their sense of moral when the US bombed Iraq, Libya, Syria ... left Afghanistan on the verge of a famine.
I think people in the West are way too happy to demonize Putin and Russians.
They project their hidden guilt onto others.

🧵 We’re going to hear a lot more about the fighters of the Ukraine’s’ foreign legion as they are killed, taken prisoners, or going back home disillusioned. One of the central questions is should they be considered UAF or mercenaries?
(1 Image
I am not a lawyer, but I am interested in their motives, which should inform us of their status. They come from 52 countries including the US, the UK, the EU, Georgia as far as Afghanistan numbering btw 20,000 & 30,000.

For the most part, these are career soldiers trained by the US/NATO, a critical fact for it governs their ideology. If most have joined in the last 3 months, some have been with Azov for 4 or more years.
‼️ All have come on their free will ‼️
