1/ A Russian holidaymaker who incautiously posted footage on social media of air defence missiles being fired over the Kerch Bridge appears to have been dragged off the beach in his shorts to film a public apology for his actions. ⬇️
2/ In the video, a man naming himself as Roman Sergeyevich apologises profusely for "filming the Special Military Operation", pledges his support for the war, and swears he won't do it again.
3/ According to the independent Russian news outlet Rise!, the man was made to apologise by 'activists'. They were likely members of a vigilante pro-Kremlin group which has been working to root out 'disloyalty' in the occupied Crimea.
4/ Rise! reports that the Crimean authorities plan to "toughen criminal liability for posting photos and videos of the location and work of defence systems, air defence systems, military and strategic facilities." Image
5/ Sergei Kryuchkov, an adviser to the Russia-installed governor of Crimea, has urged "Crimeans and guests of the peninsula" not to post footage of strategic sites because "hype helps the enemy to correct strikes". /end

1/ A training centre in Tambov, Russia, has hung a banner showing a 'new Russian empire' comprising all of central and eastern Europe, a re-divided Germany, Finland, central Asia, Mongolia and Alaska, with the slogan "We will teach you to love the Motherland". ⬇️ Image
2/ The banner has been displayed at Tambov's Training Centre no. 266, which trains tractor, forklift and truck drivers. It shows the old Soviet Union plus the former Warsaw Pact countries, the former Yugoslavia, Greece, Finland, Mongolia and Alaska as part of a unified Russia.
3/ The map seems to be intended to be a mashup of the old USSR plus the old Russian empire, which included Alaska until 1867. However, it's quite unhistorical – Greece and the former Yugoslavia were never under Russian or Soviet rule.

1/ Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov has been denounced again in another memo to the Kremlin, reportedly written by the political strategist and Duma deputy Oleg Matveychev. It calls Solovyov and his colleague Margarita Simonyan "information structures of Prigozhin". ⬇️ Image
2/ The memo follows one leaked last month which denounced Igor 'Strelkov' Girkin and other "hurrah-patriots" as a threat to the Kremlin. Solovyov's TV show on the Russia-1 channel was denounced for hosting a nightly "gang rape of the authorities".
3/ The new memo, published by the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel, is in much the same vein. It reiterates several of the same points as its predecessor, dismissing liberals, the left and 'hipsters' as possible threats. It calls the ultra-nationalist "patriots" assets of the West.

1/ Injuried Russian marines near Tokmak in the occupied part of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhya region were berated and beaten unconscious by their political officer when they asked for medical assistance. The incident was recorded and illustrates how Russia's political officers work. ⬇️ Image
2/ According to the ASTRA Telegram channel, the men – who are from the 2nd company of the 3rd reinforcement battalion of the 810th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade – took "heavy fire" near Robotyne before their company commander ordered them to withdraw. Image
3/ The men were presumably defending some of the extensive trench systems that the Russians have built in the area. They say that they were "without communication, drinking water and food," and there was no evacuation of the wounded or dead from the battlefield.

1/ Russian soldiers say they were forced to crawl across minefields, taking huge casualties, because their commanders had falsely reported to their superiors that their objectives had already been captured. Those who refused to attack were shot in the legs by their commander. ⬇️ Image
2/ In an audio message published by the ASTRA Telegram channel, men from the Russian 15th Guards Motorised Rifle Regiment complain that they were "forced to take the so-called 'Moustache', it's a forest belt. We are forced to go to the minefields with our chests."
3/ "Why are we so driven there? Because the bosses have already reported that they have already taken everything."

They say that they had to attack a Ukrainian "fortress" guarded by four machine guns and a mortar.

1/ Parents of teenagers at Alabuga Polytechnic in Tatarstan say their children are being exploited to work long hours building Shahed kamikaze drones in dangerous conditions. Some parents are rescuing their children from the facility, despite facing large fines for doing so. ⬇️ Image
2/ As described in the thread below, Alabuga Polytechnic is a STEM college that has been repurposed as a military drone factory. As well as recruiting Russian children, it's reportedly catfished African girls via dating apps to perform menial work.
3/ Hundreds of children aged 15-17 are reported to be assembling Shahed drones from parts provided by Iran. Ostensibly, they are undertaking a "dual programme" of study and work with a 70,000 ruble monthly salary ($719). In reality, their studies have reportedly been abandoned. Image

1/ A Russian police major has reportedly pleaded guilty to selling data on the vehicle used by Alexander and Darya Dugin before it was blown up by apparent assassins last year. The case highlights how personal data in Russia is corruptly traded by insiders. ⬇️ Image
2/ The ultra-nationalist Dugins were targeted in a vehicle bombing last August, following which it emerged that police officers had been systematically stealing and selling data from police databases – including selling tablets with privileged access.
3/ It's probable that the assassins, who killed Darya Dugin while her father escaped unscathed, made use of stolen data to target the Dugins. Now, the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports, the police officer who sold the Dugins' data has pleaded guilty to criminal charges.
