4/ "Soldiers from unit 71718 [70th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment from Shali, Chechnya] were resting there, mostly former prisoners who had signed liberation contracts with the Ministry of Defence ...
5/ "Two companies sat next to each other. The first, natives of the southern regions. The second, fellow soldiers from the company attached to [the Chechen battalion] Akhmat. According to testimony, the latter drank a bottle of whiskey for three.
6/ "At the establishment's closing time (around 4 a.m.), a conflict broke out between the guests in uniform – Sergei Alikhanov, 25, a resident of the Kaliningrad region, who had been convicted of theft, and Sadrutdin Akayev, 30, a native of Dagestan, ...
7/ ... a military policeman (formerly of Buynaksk, military unit 63354 [136th Motorized Rifle Brigade]). In the fight the convicts were more convincing. But this was not the end of the conflict.
8/ "The denouement was a street scene during which Akayev opened fire with an AK-74. Alikhanov was killed on the spot. A fellow soldier from his company, fellow countryman and also convicted for theft, 26-year-old Vladimir Yevseenko (pictured), tried to stand up for Sergei. Image

1/ Russian warbloggers are bitter and outraged that Serbia is selling ammunition to the EU to provide to Ukraine. One advocates that in response, "as a brotherly gesture, [we could] cut off their fucking gas valve". ⬇️
2/ 'Ramzai' complains:

"Serbia is ready to sell ammunition to the EU, even if it ends up in Ukraine. Because the warehouses are overflowing—Vučić

Vučić emphasized that Serbia is militarily neutral, but is ready to cooperate with European armies."
3/ "Brothers, they are! So, the warehouses are overflowing with shells! Cash is "frozen"! So let it fly at the Russians. They are brothers! There are plenty of them, they will tolerate it. And Serbia has the money!

Vučić is as disgusting as a caterpillar gorged on cabbage."

1/ THE HUNGARIAN REVOLUTION, DAY 13

69 years ago today, Hungary's dream of freedom and democracy was brutally crushed by 200,000 Soviet troops with over 1,000 tanks. Although Operation Whirlwind was meant to be over in three days, Hungary's revolutionaries fought on for a week. Image
2/ The Soviet forces already inside Hungary are organized into two armies. The Eighth Army is deployed around Debrecen in the east with six divisions. The 38th Guards Army, stationed around Székesfehérvár in the west, comprises another seven divisions.
3/ A separate 'Special Corps' comprising five elite Guards divisions is stationed just across the border in Romania, with another six divisions assigned to it for the operation. This force has been directed to seize Budapest in the morning of 4 November 1956.

1/ Russia is failing to keep up with Ukraine's drone development, according to a Russian warblogger. In a lengthy commentary, 'Voenkor Kotenok' asks: "Who is stealing Russia's victory on the battlefield in the Special Military Operation?" ⬇️ Image
2/ 'Voenkor Kotenok' blames a range of factors, including bureaucratic inertia, commanders' mismanagement of UAV specialists, a technological deficit, different approaches, and the staffing of some Russian UAV with "cronies" who want what they think are safer roles. He writes:
3/ "The war in Ukraine is being marked by the creation of a new branch of the armed forces.

1/ A Russian marine says that his commander, whom he describes as an incompentent drunkard, ordered his unit to march 20 km and attack a Russian-held position, after which all but three of his men were killed. He's now considering a suicide mission to kill his commanders. ⬇️ Image
2/ The man describes himself as a former Wagner Group fighter now serving with the 61st Separate Marine Brigade (military unit 38643). He says that he was fighting with the 2nd assault company near the village of Malynivka, about 14 km east of Pokrovsk. Image
3/ He is serving under a commander with the call sign 'Omut' ['Whirlpool'], of whom he says: "He's a total drunk. Before [the mission], there was no training, no preparation, no basic instruction. How, what, and why? He was just messing around..."

1/ This from @slantchev is exactly right. In Russia, there's a long tradition of petitioning the Tsar – petitions were called chelobitnye, literally 'forehead-beating documents', reflecting petitioners' ritual bowing of their foreheads to the ground before the Tsar. Image
2/ Importantly, this wasn't about appealing to the state's agencies for help – it was about obtaining the direct intercession of the monarch to bypass the slowness, obtuseness, and corruption of the state.
3/ This was a crucial part in maintaining faith in the monarchy. Even if the subjects noticed injustice, poverty, or oppression, it was always far removed from the benevolent figure of the monarch. Or as the Russians say, "Good tsar, bad boyars".

1/ The vast number of Russian casualties sustained in the war in Ukraine will one day require a reckoning, warns a Russian warblogger. He laments that Russia missed the opportunity to conquer Ukraine in 2014 after the revolution which ousted the pro-Russian leadership. ⬇️ Image
2/ "Freeze, freeze, winds of the fields!
Don't disturb us in the mown rye...
In the morning, in the morning, I'll set out on my journey.
And you remember me, but do you hear, don't wait..."
['Freeze, Winds of the Field', by the Russian black metal band Temnozor]
3/ "I don't know how the statistically significant losses of this conflict will be explained in the future. How will they explain the loss of over 1.5 million soldiers on both sides in the battle for four regions that could have been taken almost bloodlessly in 2014?
