Obvious, the "dark one" is a reference to this being a Jew and human being forum, the worst type of forum possible in East Europe. The rest may have varying shades of truth.

'Varying shades of truth' in the sense that if Obama hadn't overthrown the Ukranian government and subverted Rule of Law in Eastern Europe, MH17 would not have been shot down. Obama! :argh:

Polish local elections again - a protest has been organized near the headquarters of National Electoral Commission (PKW). Its main participants were people interrelated with KNP (crazy monarchist libertarians), Ruch Narodowy (borderline nazis), Solidarni 2010 (conspiracy theorists who claim that Lech Kaczynski's plane has been blown up by Russian intelligence) and Demokracja Bezposrednia (a party advocating for direct democracy - I have no idea what they were doing there). They demanded an immediate resignation of all members of PKW and announcement of re-elections. Some of the protesters stormed the building and occupied it for several hours, before being led out by the police and arrested.

I feel bad about the hapless student who wrote the electoral calculator and probably ruined her career. Many people write bad software, but not everyone can make it so atrocious to spark riots.

Also Gantolandon, Direct Democracy are total dupes to the far-right and mostly the same libertarian ponytail demographic as KNP, it's hardly a surprise.

(Fun fact: in Poland in the past few years a common derogatory term for libertarians has become kuc, meaning "pony", because of their stereotypical ponytail. And also, among the well-informed on awful internet poo poo, their disproportionate representation among bronies. They gather on wykop.pl, our local equivalent of reddit. Truly we have the gooniest political life of any country)

gently caress, this is really disappointing. I never had any delusions about their chances, but at I thought there finally is a party I could vote for without vomiting on the ballot. But yeah, having "balanced budget" as an important part of their program should have been a warning sign for me.

It's not as bad as it sounds like, though. Local elections were always pretty much ignored by a large part of the nation, because in many places they are pretty much rallies of support for the current presidents/mayors/councils. These ones were quite atrocious, but completely unimportant. If this happened during the presidential or parliamentary elections, it could have tragic results. Right now it's only pathetic, hilarious and a bit sad.

And here we have the Prime Minister finally commenting the events of yesterday.

Of course, the entire situation is the fault of PiS and SLD, the two parties that weren't a part of the protest and distanced themselves from it immediately. How dare they criticize our elections and plant wrong ideas in the minds of the far right?

I didn't think out politicians could be more stupid (after a "social-democratic" deputy demanded a raise, telling everyone he can't be expected to live with salary about 2.5x the average), but here it comes. It's almost like she wanted to lose the next elections.

The Polish independence march from earlier this month was highjacked by a group of 200 hooligans, which ended in some scuffles with the police, but now it seems things might have been much worse. Warsaw police is investigating an explosion that took place a week before the march. Some details that are emerging are that three football hooligans were ordering fireworks en masse, then disarming them and collecting the explosives into a large glass jar, which they apparently planned o take with them to the march. Luckily, these fellows or never smart or sober, and in this case it resulted in a premature explosion, with glass shards almost decapitating the ring leader and seriously maiming the other two.

Between the somewhat violent mach and militant far right, it seems a tiny but vocal right-wing minority is itching for some blood to be spilled. Sad thing is, evenually someone will get killed, and I don't see any sensible way of difusing this. We are not talking Maidan-level tensions here, but someone will get hurt soon if this goes on.

The former separatist leader has given an interview for a Russian Zavtra newspaper. The story in Finnish here. I'll try to translate all the relevant points below.


  • I was the one who pulled the trigger (that is, started the war)
  • If the Russian troops hadn't crossed the border, the situation would have diffused already
  • Rebels and the Ukranian army were reluctant to fight each other at first. We felt their main enemy was the Right Sector and affiliated people.
  • Kiev reacted in force only after Russia started giving wide support in form or weapons and soldiers.
  • I believed it would go like Crimea. As far as I could see, the population wanted the East Ukraine to become a part of Russia.
  • In the start of the summer, 90% of the separatist fighters were local
  • "Vacationing" Russian soldiers started coming in early August
  • The attack on Mariupol in September was a Russian attack. We were under the impression that Russia wanted a land connection to Crimea. We were shocked when no order to conquer the city came, since they could have easily done that. When I realized that Russia is not seeking annexation, I was opposed to it. (Unclear if he means the conquest of Mariupol or the non-annexation.)
  • Russia still supports the rebels extensively.
  • I returned to Moscow to protect president Putin against enemies and traitors

Probably the journalists, too.
You have to wonder what he's trying to accomplish, here. Could this be a bit of a paradigm shift? Can Russia still keep denying its war crimes with a straight face? Or is this actually some kind of Russian plot to try and move from a "We didn't do it, gently caress you" narrative to a "Russia strong, Russia can do anything it likes and kill anyone it likes, Russia will burn away the decadent west in atomic hellfire in the name of great leader Vladimir Putin" one?
The fact that he didn't spill the beans on the more disgusting stuff like the horrifying torture and slaughter of civilians and the conscripts who were "disappeared" after dying is kind of a disappointment.

Other bits of news regarding Ukraine from the same Finnish state news agency:

  • So far, there have been over 4300 dead in the war (of which 1000 during the cease-fire) and nearly 10 000 wounded
  • According to Ukraine, Russia is currently firing artillery over the border - first time since September.

I have a suspicion he is trying to get all of the credit so Russia could get out of the thing and the west would lift the sanctions. Russia would say "Hey, it wasn't us, it was THAT guy".
There is an article in Lithuanian media about there being a power struggle in Russia, where Putin is basically losing control and is now only left "for show". This could be related really.
The article says it's from https://charter97.org, however I'm yet to find the original and maybe I'll translate when I get some time.

It should probably be added that the article gave some context to the interview, namely that Strelkov apparently isn't liked by Russian state media at all, and has to do much of his public communication via internet and social media.

These points kinda bug me, because from almost the very start you had the Russian volunteers being shipped in and an awful lot of reports (even from the rebel side in frustration) that the locals weren't turning out for glorious revolution and the dudes with guns weren't from the area and didn't seem to be familiar with it. I guess technically the second point might be true if you only count active duty troops.
