A year ago, the Russians had completely occupied Mariupol and imprisoned over 2000 Ukraine's defenders, who agreed to surrender from 🇺🇦 fortress Azovstal. Despite the exchanges, some of them are still in terrible Russian captivity, out of sight of int orgs. Illustration by Albina Kole...
Through these 365 days, Russian propaganda used them to the maximum to demonize or belittle 🇺🇦 and our armed forces. The prisoners were forced to engage in videos confirming they live in good conditions or pronouncing propagandistic statements to undermine the morale of 🇺🇦. Captured Azov fighters Oleg...
🇷🇺 states the prisoners are treated "in accordance with int standards,” but it's a lie. Ignoring the tortures & killings 🇷🇺 commits, the 3d Geneva Convention prohibits public displays of prisoners of war. Using POWs in propaganda is illegal and = torture. #freeazovstaldefenders Image

1/8 Who is Mr. Prigozhin?

He is the king of real and information warfare who started from selling hot dogs. Yevgeny V. Prigozhin emerged from prison just as the Soviet Union was collapsing and started his career from a hot-dog stand. Soon, he has said, “the rubles were piling up… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
2/8
Prigozhin became one of Russia’s richest men, joining a charmed circle whose members often share one particular attribute: their proximity to Putin. The small club of loyalists who gain Putin’s trust often feast, as Mr. Prigozhin has, on enormous state contracts. In return,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

 Prigozhin, 61, controlled the entity that financed the troll factory, known as the Internet Research Agency, which waged “information warfare against the United States” by creating fictitious social-media personas, spreading falsehoods and promoting messages supportive of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

Today, we remember the victims of the 1944 deportation of Qirimli from Crimea. Around 200000 people were forcibly removed from their homes. Soviet propaganda created a huge disinfo campaign about "Crimean Tatars as traitors" to justify their genocide & Russification of Crimea: Image
1/ "Crimean Tatars deserted en masse at the beginning of WW2."
In reality, over 17,000 Qirimli were already serving in the Red Army & fought throughout the war, presenting the country with several Heroes of the Soviet Union and one twice Hero, Amet Khan Sultan. Amet Khan SultanTeyfuq AbdulAbdraim ReshidovUzeir Abduramanov
2/ "Crimean Tatars are a traitorous nation."
As with other peoples, there were a few collaborators among Qirimli during the WW2 occupation. Most were killed or arrested by the NKVD. Blaming an entire nation for the actions of some is a crime that has hallmarks of genocide. Image

1/3 These are 2 entrances to the underground tunnel complex on the hillside beneath Putin's palace. "Putin has a lot of anxiety about being the not-entirely-legitimate leader of Russia," said Michael C. Kimmage, a former State Department official to @BusinessInsider . "So… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
2/3 The underground complex beneath Putin's palace consists of two separate tunnels connected by an elevator that descends roughly 50 meters below the surface. The architectural plans show the tunnels encased in thick concrete are supplied with enough fresh water, ventilation and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
3/3 The two tunnels are approximately 40 and 60 meters long, respectively, and 6 meters wide, creating about 6,500 square feet of potential living space that bears signs of being blast-proof. Their ability to withstand the impact of a nuclear blast or a bunker-buster bomb would… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

Rumors about the health of Belarus' self-proclaimed president, Lukashenko, have been circulating since May. The opposition believes he has infectious allergic myocarditis. With the question of who will replace him becoming more relevant, let's look at some possible scenarios. Image
First, the Kremlin may try to impose its scenario of maintaining control over Belarus, ensuring its protege comes to power. The new leader must be loyal and willing to join the war against Ukraine. The current PM Golovchenko is the most favorable candidate for the Kremlin. Image
Second, Lukashenko's death could activate internal clans to fight for the status of his successor, possibly causing political crisis in Belarus. Currently, no one in the ruling elite is ready to oppose Russia in promoting its candidate for power. Image

1/4 George Soros has long ago become a target for right-wing conspire theorists. “Soros conspiracy” originated in 2008, when two political consultants in New York, Arthur Finkelstein and George Birnbaum, were recruited by Viktor Orbán in his political campaign. They had… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
2/4 Finkelstein and Birnbaum decided to create an external political enemy to help Orbán mobilize support for his bid to become Hungarian PM. Soros was a prominent Hungarian Jew whose family had fled Budapest because of the Holocaust. Soros was both well-known, rich, thus,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
3/4 Soros funded a range of nonprofit organizations and educational institutions in Hungary and had even provided a scholarship for Orbán early in his career. The consultants created a narrative that assumed that Soros had now turned against Orbán and was trying to pull political… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
