THREAD.

It's nearly 9 May, when #Russia is celebrating "Victory Day". It's time to talk about #Pobedobesie - a militaristic fetishisation of WW2 in Putin's Russia.

1/x Image
#Pobedobesie is a pejorative term used to describe the "hyperbolic celebrations" of Victory Day in #Russia. This has been dubbed the Victory Cult.

2/x ImageImageImageImage
#Pobedobesie includes weaponisation of the legacy of World War II to justify #Russia's aggressive policies and an increase of militarism, using the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany for propaganda purposes.

This memo was reportedly found with the documents of a Russian servicemen KIA in Ukraine.

Some points are fairly standard, but some are curious. Short thread:

1/x
1. Wear proper attire; do not wear patches or other insignia identifying your unit.
2. Be reserved while dealing with the civilians in "liberated areas", do not seek contact with them, do not accept any food or other items from them.
3. Use first person: WE advance, etc.

2/x
4. Tell civilians in "liberated areas" that Russia is here forever, and advise them to only use official Russian info sources.
5. Refer to the Ukrainian troops only as Nazis/nationalists, militants, invaders; tell locals that we are in war with NATO.

Thread.

Overnight, in #Odesa, south #Ukraine, the monument to the Russian Empress Catherine II, was removed from its site

This will cause a major propaganda uproar in #Russia, which will blame Ukraine of “removing Russian cultural heritage”.

1/x
The monument to Catherine II, Empress of Russia in 1762-1796, was erected in Odesa in 1900. It was dismantled shortly after the Russian Revolution, in 1920, after the Bolsheviks gained control of the city.

2/x
In 1965, on the 60th anniversary of the uprising at the battleship "Potemkin", part of the Soviet founding myth (The unsuccessful Russian revolution of 1905), a monument to its mutineering sailors was erected in this location.

During his speech on #Russia's "Day of National Unity" on 4 November, Putin talked of #Ukraine's supposed territorial disputes with #Poland, #Romania and #Hungary.

This is a clear attempt to "normalise" the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

yahoo.com/news/romania-r…
#Hungary's Foreign Ministry has called #Russia's Putin statement about Budapest's territorial claims to #Ukraine "incorrect."

ukrinform.net/rubric-polytic…
#Romania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in contrast said Romania fully supports the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of #Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders.

Today, Putin's decree not only introduced martial law in 4 partially Russian-occupied regions of #Ukraine, but also introduces three separate governance and security regimes in #Russia:

A quick thread:

2/x In the regions bordering Ukraine - from Bryansk to Krasnodar - plus the occupied Crimea and Sevastopol, not shown on the map as they are Ukraine, there is regime of "average reaction level" to be introduced. Show orange on the map.

2/x Image
In these (orange) areas, regional authorities are instructed to:

1) strengthen the public safety and security;
2) introduce the special mode of operation of objects providing the functioning of transport, communications and communications, and energy infrastructure.

In #London, #UK, about a thousand people joined a rally organised by the Russian emigres in #protest against the war in #Ukraine and the ongoing political repressions in #Russia: ImageImageImageImage
More photos from this rally: interestingly the rally included members of the Russian ethnic minorities, from Sakha-Yakutia to North Caucasus. ImageImageImageImage
More photos from the rally: again, note ethnic minority Russian citizens making their voice against imperialism and chauvinism heard ImageImageImageImage
