This is a war poster from WWII trying to battle the Nazi propaganda in the US. It is incredibly to see today almost identical narratives pushed by russian propagandists in the US.

2/ - US democracy is dying
- Aid to allies must stop
- Our leaders are incompetent
- The war will bankrupt the nation
- We must defend only our own shores
- Ukraine is corrupt and doesn’t deserve our help
- Putin’s victory is inevitable
- Peace can be made with russia
3/ It may be hard for those who bought into this propaganda to accept the fact that most likely they would have bought the Nazi propaganda 80 years ago. So, if you ever wondered what would you do during WWII, you are doing it right now.

My grandfather was right, and I was wrong to doubt him.

Growing up as a child I could never fully understand my grandfather. He told me that russia did a great evil to Ukraine and other nations. But I couldn’t fully accept his message.

1/n Image
2/ I was studying in the school during the Soviet times. I was taught how the Soviet army liberated Nazi Germany, how russia allowed for the Soviet Union to fall apart peacefully, how Ukraine got its freedom in 1991 without a fight.
3/ My grandfather told me that it was all an illusion. That russians have not changed. That they are guided by the imperialistic mindset and the “great russian culture.” Intuitively, I wanted to trust my grandfather, but I needed evidence.

The Walt Disney Company removed the nomination and award ceremony for the Best Documentary film from its shortened international version.
1/n Image
2/ The film 20 Days in Mariupol by Mstyslav Chernov and Yevhen Malolietk won Oscar for the Best Documentary.
3/ The film tells the story of the brutal siege of Mariupol by russian, which resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people. It shows the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the bombing of the maternity hospital, and the rescue of journalists from the besieged city.

Why should we help Ukraine, if there is corruption there?

An american friend asked me to help her give a thoughtful response to those who claim that because Ukraine is corrupt it cannot be trusted with financial aid. So, here are the four points:

1/n Image
2/ Corruption is everywhere, including the US, and Ukraine is no exception. In fact, the level of Ukrainian corruption is very similar to Hungary (which is not a great compliment), but corruption in russia is much higher than in Ukraine by any objective measures.
3/ Most of the stories about “extreme” corruption in Ukraine come from the russian propaganda and sources that have discredited themselves, like Tucker Carlson.

Olena Zelenska declined an invitation to attend Joe Biden's address to the nation because they wanted her to sit next to Yulia Navalnaya.

1/n Image
2/ First, this proposal demonstrates just how morally bankrupt some people are. At the very least, it is wrong to equate Zelenska and Navalnaya, to equate russia and Ukraine, to equate russians and Ukrainians.
3/ Second, using the suffering nation for political gains is sickening. President Biden wanted to provide “a powerful backdrop” for his speech to a joint session of Congress, by having the image of two women, as a symbol of resistance to Putin.

The meaning of the word “Ukraine”.

“Ukraine” in Ukrainian is “Україна” [Ukrajina], which means “our country.” The word actually consists of two parts: “Krajina” meaning “country,” and “U” a preposition similar to “In”.

1/n Image
2/ This word was first used in 1187 in chronicles: “whole Ukrajina was crying for the prince fallen in battle.” At that time Moskow was only 40 years old. Also, in the official dictionary of 1627, “Krajina” was translated as country.
3/ Why is this important?

Some russians (Putin included) say that Ukrajina means “Land on the edge” from their word “Окраина” (Land on the edge). And of course, the edge of… russia. Obviously, there are a number of problems with this theory.

Why russian economy didn’t collapse yet?

In 2022, the expectation was that russian economy would collapse after the EU and the US sanctions, but it didn’t happen. In fact, russian economy grew by 3.6% in 2023, outpacing both the US and Europe.

1/n Image
2/ Russia’s federal revenue increased to a record $320 billion and is set to rise further still.

Mostly, this growth has been stimulated by expenditures on war. Russian government is supporting defense industries and creating the relevant jobs.
3/ They're paying people bonuses to join the army, paying families of killed soldiers, paying soldiers who are wounded, who are lucky enough to get home.
