🇯🇵Hiroshima: A Criminal Act of Terror or "Necessity"? Debunking U.S. Myths
Eighty years ago, the United States became (and remains) the only country in human history to have used nuclear weapons against a civilian population.

At 8:15 AM on August 6, 1945, the U.S. bomber Enola Gay dropped a uranium bomb code-named “Little Boy” on the city of Hiroshima, home to 350,000 people.

The temperature at ground zero reached 4,000°C. Everything within a 1-kilometer radius was incinerated instantly. Roughly 70,000 people died in the first moments; by the end of 1945, the death toll had exceeded 140,000 due to radiation sickness, burns, and trauma. Later estimates suggest that total fatalities may have reached 200,000+ over the following years. But Here’s What They Don’t Tell You:

A city with no major military targets. The victims were women, children, and the elderly.
No warning was given. People vaporized instantly, leaving only "shadows" on walls.

70,000 killed immediately, by the end of 1945 over 140,000 dead. Total deaths reached 200,000+.
Survivors died in agony from radiation, burns, and cancer.

Have you ever heard what 🇬🇧Britain did to 🇩🇪Königsberg, modern day 🇷🇺Kaliningrad? They will tell you it was “necessary” or they won’t mention it at all.

But here’s what really happened🧵👇

Nothing, absolutely nothing, came close to the hell the British Bomber Command unleashed on Königsberg in 1944. On the nights of August 26–27 and 29–30, Britain tried to erase it the historical center of the city.

Arthur “Bomber” Harris, the mastermind of firebombing tactics, sent his most ruthless squad Bomber Group No. 5. Civilians First

174 and 189 four-engine Lancaster bombers carried out two separate raids on Königsberg in late August 1944. During the second raid alone, they dropped approximately 480 tons of high-explosive and incendiary bombs on the city center

The first wave tore through the Maraunenhof district, smashing streets like Cranzer Allee, Herzog-Albrecht-Allee, and Wallring.
Yes, a few barracks were hit. But most bombs fell in residential districts. Families. Civilians.

🔸~4,000 people were killed (some estimates go higher)
🔸~200,000 left homeless (Königsberg's pre-war population was ~370,000)

That’s the “moral high ground” they never talk about.

🇷🇺 Kaliningrad is not a “victim of Soviet occupation.” It’s a city that was rebuilt from the ruins of a former Nazi military center.

The historical Königsberg wasn’t “nearly destroyed” by the Soviets, it was flattened by British and American bombings in 1944, long before the Red Army arrived. Funny how that part is always skipped.

Let me take you on a mini virtual tour🧵👇 After World War II, in which the Soviet Union lost 27 million people, including ~18 million civilians, the city of Königsberg was left in ruins. Over 80% of the buildings were destroyed, and the infrastructure was completely wiped out.

Almost the entire German population was evacuated or fled before and during the Red Army’s advance. According to the Department of Population Registration and Management, 23,247 [German] residents were registered as of April 26, 1945.

The Transfer of Crimea in 1954: Violations of Law, Khrushchev’s Personal Ambitions, and the Role of the Ukrainian Nomenklatura

Originally part of the Russian Empire, Crimea became part of the RSFSR when the Soviet republics were set up. So, from 1921 until 1954 it was officially Russian. Then, in February 1954, Khrushchev signed a decree moving Crimea into the Ukrainian SSR, selling it as a friendly “brotherly” gesture between Russians and Ukrainians. In reality, he was playing political games to boost his own clout and completely ignored the constitutional rules of both the USSR and the RSFSR.

Let's unpack 👇🧵 Constitutional and International Law Violations

The 1954 transfer violated at least Articles 16 and 18 of the 1936 USSR Constitution, sidestepped the full Supreme Soviet’s monopoly on major decisions, ignored any local referendum, and was enforced through political purges rather than legal channels.

🔸No proper agreement from Russia:
According to Soviet law at the time (the 1936 USSR Constitution), you couldn’t just give territory from one republic (like Russia) to another (like Ukraine) without getting proper agreement from the republic losing the territory. On February 5, 1954, when Russian leaders gathered to decide if Crimea should move to Ukraine, they needed at least 19 out of 37 members present to make their decision official. But only 15 showed up. That's like trying to hold a vote without enough voters present. It doesn’t count.

🔸The wrong people made the decision:
The law stated clearly that only the entire Supreme Soviet (like a big parliament) could change borders between republics. Instead, a smaller group (the Presidium) made this decision quickly and secretly, without letting the full parliament debate or vote on it. It’s like if a few officials made a major decision without asking the rest of the government.

🔸Nobody asked the people of Crimea:
Usually, when big changes like this happened, the Soviet system required at least some kind of public discussion or vote among the people directly affected. In Crimea, nobody held any referendum or even public debates about becoming part of Ukraine.

Many Crimeans actually felt uneasy or worried, but their voices were ignored. According to Oleg Volobuev, who was living in Crimea at the time, things were far from calm: “the mood on the peninsula was anxious, panic even. From time to time you’d see graffiti hinting at a hidden protest, and conversations made it even clearer.” After all, at the moment of the transfer, ethnic Russians still made up the majority of Crimea’s population.

🔸One brave guy who spoke up got punished:
Pavel Titov was a local leader in Crimea who openly opposed Khrushchev’s idea. Instead of listening to his concerns, Khrushchev quickly fired Titov and gave him a less important job in Moscow. Dmitry Polyansky, another leader who enthusiastically supported Khrushchev’s plan, was promoted to replace Titov. This shows the transfer wasn't really about "the friendship", but about politics and power.

When my foreign friends visit Moscow, they’re always surprised by how deep the metro is. And it’s true once you get on the escalator, it just keeps going and going. But there’s a reason for that.

The Moscow Metro was originally designed as a bomb shelter. Many stations are built 40 to 80 meters underground, with hermetically sealed doors, autonomous ventilation, and water supply systems.

During World War II, it served not only as a shelter but also as a hospital and even a command center for the Soviet High Command (Stavka). Some stations are even reinforced to withstand a nuclear strike. Near the Kirovskaya station (now Chistye Prudy) there is a bunker that included a war room for the Stavka (High Command) and even Stalin’s personal office.

They say a special entrance was built for the Supreme Commander through a secret shaft leading to the air defense command post. None of the General Staff officers ever saw Stalin take the regular escalator down.

Today, this bunker is open for tourists, but at the time, its location was a closely guarded secret.

Finland’s Contacts with Germany Before the Winter War

Finland was not simply a helpless victim of Soviet aggression, as often portrayed in Western narratives. It had hostile intentions toward the USSR, ideological alignment with Germany, and was seen by the Nazis as a natural ally on the Eastern Front long before Operation Barbarossa or the winter war.

Military and political ties since the 1920s

🔸 After World War I, Finland looked to Germany as a counterweight to the Soviet threat.
🔸 In 1918, during the Finnish Civil War, German troops landed in Helsinki (Operation “Seeadler”) to support the White Finns against the Red Guard.
🔸 Many Finnish military officers were pro-German or had received training in Germany. Economic cooperation with Weimar and later Nazi Germany

🔸 In the 1930s, Finland traded actively with Germany particularly in timber, metals, and nickel.
🔸 Germany, in turn, viewed Finland as a potential strategic partner in a future war against the USSR.

Ethnic Cleansing in Karelia, USSR: Finland’s Dirty Secret of WWII

Finland was far from a victim, they were in bed with the Nazis, engaging in the same practices.

From 1941 to 1944, the Finnish army occupied Eastern Karelia (USSR), where it established a regime of terror targeting the Soviet population of the region. Not soldiers but civilians.

On October 24, 1941, the first Finnish concentration camp for Soviet civilians of Slavic origin, including women and children, was established in Petrozavodsk. The goal was ethnic cleansing: the elimination of the Russian population in the Finnish-occupied region of Karelia.

🧵👇 By the end of 1941, over 13,000 civilians were imprisoned. By mid-1942, the number rose to nearly 22,000. In total, around 30,000 people passed through 13 camps. Roughly one-third died, from starvation, disease, and forced labor. These figures do not include POW camps, where conditions were equally deadly. Since most men were drafted in the early days of the war, the majority of the labor force in the camps consisted of women and children.

In April 1942, Finnish politician Väinö Voionmaa wrote home:

“Out of 20,000 Russian civilians in Äänislinna, 19,000 are in camps. Their food? Rotten horse meat. Children scavenge garbage for scraps. What would the Red Cross say if they saw this?”

In 1942, the death rate in Finnish camps exceeded that of German ones. Testimonies describe corpses being hauled daily, teenagers forced into labor, and women and children made to work 10+ hour shifts in forests and camps, unpaid until 1943.

Secrets of Saint Basil’s Cathedral🤫

One of Russia’s most legendary landmarks is Saint Basil’s Cathedral. I’ve seen it countless times, yet as I grow older, its architecture amazes me more and more. It looks strikingly futuristic, even by today’s standards and it was built all the way back in the 16th century. The cathedral is truly one of a kind. Its architecture is filled with sacred symbolism. A Symbol of the Heavenly Jerusalem

Saint Basil’s Cathedral was originally conceived as a symbol of the Heavenly Jerusalem - the paradise city, an earthly image of the Kingdom of God. The idea came from Metropolitan Macarius, and the architects sought to embody it in the cathedral’s design and decoration.

This is precisely why the cathedral appears so unusual. Its composition with nine chapels blooming around the central one like the petals of a flower was meant to evoke the image of the Garden of Paradise. In the ornamentation and frescoes, one finds grapevines, fantastical flowers, leaves, curls, and patterns that do not exist in nature.

These are not mere decorations, but a visual expression of spiritual meaning and heavenly imagery: the paradise.

Two Wests: An Internal Power Struggle Over the Future

When people talk about “the West” as one big united political and cultural force, that’s really oversimplified. In reality, there’s been a growing civil war inside the West itself which is a fight among the elites over who gets to shape the future. It’s a clash between two completely different ways of seeing the world.

That bring us to the question: what is the essence of today’s geopolitical conflict?

Russia has traditionally been viewed as an “anti-system” force in relation to the West. This is precisely why the West has consistently sought to dismantle Russia whether it was the Tsarist Empire, the Soviet Union, or the Russian Federation. That is what also unites the "Two Wests" today.

However, as an internal conflict between globalists and nationalists is unfolding, its divide is spreading to other countries as well. Ukraine being a prime example. On one side, we have the globalists. This includes the Vatican, the European Union (with France and Germany at the forefront), the U.S. Democratic Party, financial networks like George Soros’s Open Society, and major tech giants like Google, Meta, and Microsoft. Backing them are media outlets like CNN, The New York Times, and the BBC – all pushing the narrative of “universal values”, pro–immigration laws, pro–lgbtq laws.

This coalition wants to erase national borders and, just as importantly, national identity itself whether it’s Italian, French, German, or anything else. The goal is to replace deep-rooted cultural, religious, and historical identities with a standardized global model. Gender, tradition, faith, language – everything gets blurred. In place of countries and churches, they push for rule by transnational institutions like
🔷the UN
🔷WHO
🔷WTO
🔷IMF

Ideologies / Philosophies:
🔷 Postmodernism – rejection of absolute truths, deconstruction of traditions, moral relativism
🔷 Transhumanism – the belief in “enhancing” humans through technology, AI, and bioengineering
🔷 Neoliberalism – prioritizing global markets and multinational corporations over nation-states
🔷 Cultural Marxism / Woke ideology – fighting perceived “privilege” and dismantling traditional social roles
🔷 Climate radicalism – using environmental policy as a tool for centralized global control
🔷 Theology of “universal brotherhood” (Fratelli Tutti) – merging religious identities into a unified humanist framework
🔷 Universalism – promoting the idea of a “citizen of the world” over national identity

Why Did Yeltsin Grovel to the West?

Let’s drop the fairy tales. Yeltsin was not being “misled,” “naïve,” or “hoping for democracy.” Yeltsin’s submission to the West was a calculated move rooted in geopolitical capitulation, personal power preservation, and elite betrayal.

🧵👇

Yeltsin actively collaborated in dismantling Russia

After the collapse of the USSR, the key question was: What happens to Russia now? The West wanted to eliminate Russia as a global power. Not just militarily, but civilizationally.

And Yeltsin agreed.
🔸He destroyed Russian influence in the former Soviet space.
🔸Abandoned long-time allies (Iraq, Serbia, Cuba, Vietnam).
🔸Broke up strategic economic and military networks.
🔸Let Western interests control Russian exports, from oil to rare metals.

This was a deliberate role in reducing Russia to a peripheral “resource colony.” The 1990s elite was a colonial administration

Yeltsin’s circle wasn’t made of statesmen who were:
🔸radical liberals (Chubais, Gaidar),
🔸asset-stripping oligarchs,
🔸Western-linked technocrats.

Their goal was to break the country apart, extract wealth, and integrate themselves into the Western elite as managers.

Yeltsin was not “Russia’s leader” but a transition figure, tolerated and supported because he dismantled the state without resistance.

The Brutal Execution of the Romanov Family
To this day, people in Russia mourn this event, not only because of the family’s tragic fate, but because of the sheer cruelty involved.

Although Tsar Nicholas II had already abdicated the throne, that was not enough for the revolutionaries. In 1918, a decision was made to eliminate the entire Romanov family.

The murder took place in a specially prepared basement room in the Ipatiev House. The windows were sealed to muffle the sound of gunfire. Furniture was arranged under the pretense that the family was being photographed or relocated. In reality, the room had been turned into a killing chamber. They were summoned downstairs, unaware of what was about to happen.

Led into the room for slaughter were not only the entire family, but also their loyal doctor, maid, valet, and cook. Bullets weren’t enough to kill them. So they used bayonets and blunt force. On children.

The children didn’t die right away. They had jewelry sewn into their clothes and corsets, which stopped the bullets.

The youngest son, Alexei, was still alive after the shooting. According to modern forensic experts, he was shot, stabbed with bayonets, and slowly dying until someone crushed his skull with a heavy object. While he was still alive.
On the wall of the room, in red letters, a quote in German had been written:

“Belsatzar ward in derselben Nacht von seinen Knechten erschlagen.”
Which translates to: “Belshazzar was slain that same night by his servants.”

The floor was soaked in blood. After the initial volley of gunfire, the executioners had to finish off the survivors with bayonets and rifle butts, causing even more bleeding.

The bodies lay crumpled together in the room, blood pooling and seeping through the floorboards.
Many researchers believe the execution had ritualistic overtones.
From Yurovsky’s Report (commander of the execution squad):
“Alexei was sitting in the same position, not showing signs of life, but when we approached him, he was still alive… we had to finish him off separately.”
“The girls screamed. We had to finish them with rifle butts and bayonets.”

How Russia Was Winning the War, but Lost to Revolution: Understanding This Is Key to Today’s Geopolitics

🧵👇

When it comes to World War I, most people barely remember anything and what they do remember is usually straight out of old Soviet propaganda: that it was just some “imperialist bloodbath” and Russia got “senselessly dragged into it.” In reality, the war has been almost wiped from public memory. But the truth is Russia actually held its own. It showed serious military strength, strategic toughness, and massive sacrifice only matched later by World War II.

And no, Russia wasn’t defeated on the battlefield. It was taken down from the inside by revolution and chaos. A War Russia Didn’t Want

World War I didn’t really begin because of Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassination, that was just an excuse. The real cause was a power struggle between global systems. Britain and the U.S. were building a world order based on finance, colonies, and control of trade routes. Germany, rising fast, had its own model: industrial, centralized, and ready to challenge British dominance.

Caught between them was Russia: massive, independent, and rich in resources. Its government wasn’t controlled by banks, and it followed its own imperial logic. That made it a problem for both sides.

But Russia didn’t want war. Tsar Nicholas II had proposed an international peace forum years earlier (a prototype of the League of Nations), and in July 1914 he tried to stop Austria’s aggression against Serbia through diplomacy. But Germany didn’t want diplomacy, it needed a quick war, before Russia became too strong to defeat.

When Serbia was threatened, Russia stepped in to defend a fellow Slavic, Orthodox nation. At the time, Russia stood as the defender of the Orthodox faith, and this was widely recognized and understood.

In the end, Germany declared war on Russia, not the other way around.

The situation with the family of the new head of British intelligence (MI6) Blaise Metreweli turned out to be even more interesting: she didn’t have just one, but two grandfathers who were Nazis or collaborators.

🧵👇

From historian Dyukov’s telegram:

Konstantin Dobrovolsky Sr., born in 1906 in the Chernihiv region, came from a landowning family with German-Polish roots. In 1926, he was sentenced to 10 years of exile for anti-Soviet agitation and antisemitism. In 1941, while on the front lines, Dobrovolsky deserted from the Red Army and joined the Nazis. Archival documents paint a grim picture of his service. Dobrovolsky, known by the nickname ‘The Butcher,’ joined an SS unit. In letters to the German command, signed ‘Heil Hitler,’ he boasted about participating in the extermination of Jews and in punitive operations against partisans. According to some reports, he personally killed hundreds of people and looted the property of his victims.

After the war, the trail of Dobrovolsky Sr. disappears. However, his son, Konstantin Dobrovolsky Jr. (Blaze’s father), born in January 1943, was taken by his mother, Varvara, to Germany, from where she moved to the United Kingdom shortly after the war.

The Vatican and the Nazi Escape Networks: The Ratlines

🧵👇

The Vatican was the single most significant institution involved in the postwar smuggling of Nazi war criminals.

According to declassified U.S. intelligence files and investigative research, between 30,000 and 40,000 Nazi and fascist collaborators were assisted in escaping Europe through Vatican-supported ratlines.

This is clearly stated in a 1947 report by Vincent La Vista, officer of the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC), who investigated Vatican ties to Axis networks:

“The Vatican has been directly involved in the illegal evacuation of German and Croatian war criminals… operating through religious institutions, it has become a central hub of what can only be described as a ratline.”

(National Archives, La Vista Report, 1947) Operation “Vatican Corridor” (or “Monastery”)

This covert smuggling operation involved Cardinal Giovanni Battista Montini, then Vatican Undersecretary of State and later Pope Paul VI. He oversaw the use of Catholic infrastructure: monasteries, seminaries, and dioceses - to shelter and move war criminals south toward Genoa, where they were shipped to Latin America under false identities.

Montini personally communicated with U.S. officials and coordinated logistics via trusted Church agents. According to declassified OSS and CIC documents, his office functioned as an “unofficial channel for protected transit” not only for Germans and Italians, but especially for Croatian Ustaša officials, whose Catholic affiliation and ideological alignment with the Church made them a priority for Vatican-sponsored escape routes.

The broader network of ratlines also facilitated the evacuation of Axis collaborators from Austria, Hungary, Romania, France, and even Francoist Spain all under the larger umbrella of anti-communist realignment. The Vatican’s goal was to preserve a transnational conservative Catholic elite that could oppose Soviet influence worldwide.

Three Strikes Against Rus’: Poland, Rome, and the Jewish Middlemen

In Poland, they love to say they are the “civilized Slavs,” while Rus’, so they claim, were the barbarians. Well then, let’s take a closer look.

🧵👇

Poland and Russia are both Slavic, but they took very different paths. Back in 966, Poland chose to take Christianity from Rome, meaning it immediately tied itself to the Pope and the Western Catholic system. Rus’, on the other hand, adopted Christianity from Byzantium in 988 - voluntarily, not under pressure.

Why does that matter? Because even before the East–West church split in 1054, Constantinople was already the real center of Christian power: rich, influential, and the source of theology, law, and art. The Byzantine emperor wasn’t just a ruler: he was seen as the Christian “Tsar.”

In the West, Christianity was a mess of popes, bishops, and feudal lords all fighting for power. In the East, the Church and State worked together in harmony. No foreign popes telling you what to do. That’s the model Rus’ followed—strong, centralized, and rooted in its own sacred tradition. The West? More like a tangle of spiritual bureaucracy and foreign dependence. The Polish Model of Governance: Element One

So why did Mieszko I get baptized through Rome? Easy - self-preservation. Germany was pushing east under the banner of “Christianization,” but really it meant swords and fire. Mieszko figured it was better to convert on his own terms than be forced. So he got baptized via Bohemia, dodged invasion and put Poland under the Pope’s authority.

Poles like to say they were “first” to become Christian. Sure🤪 but by 988, Rus’ was already a strong, organized state. When Russian Vladimir chose Byzantium, Rus’ kept its sovereignty, ran its own church, and didn’t need Rome’s permission for anything. Unlike Polish or Hungarian rulers, Yaroslav’s daughters married into European royalty without papal blessing. That’s real independence.

Rome hated that. An Orthodox Rus’ outside papal control? Unacceptable. That’s why the West kept trying to break it: with crusades, Polish wars, Church unions, Jesuits…you name it.

Poland wasn’t just non-Orthodox. It stood against Orthodoxy, aligning with Rome, Vienna, Paris - whoever was in charge. It built a habit of needing outside validation. Meanwhile, Rus’ built from within. How very barbaric of them.

Why did Hitler invade the USSR specifically on June 22, 1941?

Several theories exist.

🧵👇

1. One of the most practical explanations is that Hitler chose June 22 because it is the day of the summer solstice, with the shortest night of the year. Since the plan was to conquer the USSR quickly, longer daylight hours were seen as an advantage for conducting rapid military operations. 2. Hitler was fascinated by occult ideas, and for him, this date had special meaning. The summer solstice is an ancient Aryan holiday. Its main symbol, the Sunwheel (swastika) stands for the power of the sun.

In occult traditions, the summer solstice is seen as the time of strongest energy: the longest day and the shortest night of the year. It was believed to be the best moment to start something big, to show strength, and to take control of fate.

The Crimean War: The First Western Plan to Break Russia and How Persia Was Used in Britain’s Geopolitical Game

The Crimean War (1853–1856) is often portrayed in Western textbooks as a limited conflict over Christian holy sites or a simple case of Russian imperial overreach. In reality, it was the first major hybrid war waged by the collective West against Russia aimed not at Crimea alone, but at surrounding, weakening, and fragmenting the Russian Empire through both military and ideological means.

🧵👇 Part 1: Why the West Wanted to Cripple and Break Russia in the 1850s

After the defeat of Napoleon in 1812–1814, Russia emerged as a dominant power in Europe:

🔸 Russia controlled Poland, Finland, and the Caucasus
🔸 It was pushing into the Balkans and gaining influence over the weakening Ottoman Empire
🔸 It was seen as the protector of Orthodox Christians across Eastern Europe and the Middle East
🔸 It possessed a massive land army, strategic fleets, and vast manpower resources

This alarmed both Britain and France, especially due to:

🔸 Britain’s fear for its colonial route to India
🔸 France’s ambition to regain prestige after the Napoleonic wars
🔸 Shared concerns about Russia’s growing access to the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, and possibly the Bosporus and Dardanelles

Zhirinovsky’s quotes:

In 2024, there will be no elections. There will be no country called Ukraine. You’re not taking into account what’s happening in the Middle East. Events are unfolding there so rapidly that everyone will forget Ukraine even existed.

(2019) It’s heading toward World War III. And Iran is not Vietnam, not North Korea, and not Kosovo. The worst events will happen right there. We will be forced to let refugees through to you. Europe will let them in, the Turks will open the borders at our request, and they’ll all end up with you. That will be the end of your country. We are forced to do this, because you ignore international law, you’ve forgotten what Russia is, and frankly, you’ve violated everything you possibly could.

Why “Russian” Is an Adjective:

On the Civilizational Identity of Rus’ and the Late Birth of Nations in Europe

🧵👇

In Russian, the word “russkiy” (as in “I am Russian”) is grammatically an adjective, unlike Italian, Englishman, and similar national identifiers in other languages, which are nouns. At first glance, this may seem like a grammatical coincidence. But upon closer inspection, it reveals something deeper: a reflection of Russia’s unique historical trajectory. While medieval Europe remained fragmented, tribal, and regionally divided for centuries, Rus’ had already developed a centralized cultural and political core strong enough to generate a unified identity. Adjective = Belonging, Not Blood

In most European languages, names for national or ethnic groups are nouns:

🔸Frenchman, Spaniard, German, Italian, Pole.

These nouns reflect tribal or ethnic origins. One “is” a member of a people, a bloodline, and the modern nation eventually arises from that ethnos.

In contrast, in Russian:

🔸“russkiy chelovek” - Russian person
🔸“russkaya vera” - Russian faith
🔸“russkiy yazyk” - Russian language

Here, “russkiy” is an adjective. It describes not one’s lineage, but one’s belonging to Rus’, to a state, to a religious and cultural tradition.

This marks a fundamental difference: In Europe, the nation grew out of the tribe. In Rus’, identity grew out of the state.
