Went to an art exhibition. Some works by Ukrainian artist Maria Prymachenko here in London. The russians, naturally, deliberately burned down a museum containing a bunch of art by Ukrainian artists including her and some others. Well, many of her works still survive, such as this:  Putin is a big piece of poo poo.

https://t.me/aleksandr_skif/2902quote:Immediately after the capture of Mariupol, new tasks were set; we had to act in a different situation and with other “allied forces” - this is how we usually call those with whom we have to share a common front share. We planned to attack, and to “synchronize watches” we arrived at the headquarters of the 31st Ulyanovsk Airborne Battalion, with whose fighters we were to carry out a combat mission. The brigade was commanded by Colonel Andrei Kondrashkin with the call sign Danube. While we were fighting hand in hand, we became friends with Andrei, and today we were deeply hurt by the news of his death. We offer our condolences to his family and friends, his comrades..... I am sure that the wings of his airborne soul will quickly take him to the Throne of God, where he will sit and wait for us - we still need to do a little work.

Jasper Tin Neck posted:While this war isn't existential for Russia and Russians, it is existential for the ruling elite of Russia, because dragging a country into a pointless war and losing just highlights all the mismanagement and incompetence of the Russian state apparatus. It’s also existential for the idea of a reborn Russian empire, once Ukraine is in NATO that’s a whole bunch of formerly Russian occupied territory that is never coming under their sway. It’s why the nationalists are so desperate to win this.

They're still resurrecting what they can of their T-55s to T-72s and a small handful of T-90s. It'll be a while yet before they're down to IS-3s.

Kadyrov tragically poisoned from huffing his own farts for too long while describing the chechen militaries near mythical combat ability Edit: its just occured to me, "poor waif in his underwear" is probably the equivalent/exonym to "being caught with your pants down" isnt it?

It seems like if there was one Balkan state you'd want to be in, it'd be there. Deep Catholic and civic (for a lack of better word atm) ties to Italy, Austria and the 'west' in general. They are part of the certified goodfellas club together with Czechia, Slovenia, Poland and the Baltics.

historically too, croatia has had longer ties to the west through the triune kingdom than serbia and other parts of former yugoslavia.

zone posted:https://t.me/aleksandr_skif/2902 This was probably the strike reported by the Ukrainians just before, where they first took down two aa systems and then blew up the brigade HQ. Also, there is something screwy going on with the reporting here. I think the 31st Ulyanovsk refers to a brigade, not a battalion. But why would they have a colonel commanding a brigade? Or is this guy one of the battalion commanders in the 31st VDV?

A member of the Azov Brigade embraces his friend - an ultra-Orthodox Jewish pilgrim - during the celebration of Rosh Hashanah in Uman You would think you'd see this and think Z-brains would be melting down because "but muh nazis", but not really. In reality most pro-Z folks hate Jews as well. They kinda believe in the same conspiracies as Hitler. But the Russian government is trying its best to hide that. The whole "Ukraine are nazis" is nothing but a front to hide these people are selling nazi ideology without calling it nazi ideology ("we might believe in similar poo poo Hitler once did, but since we are fighting Nazis in Ukraine it means we are not nazis") See comments made by people like strelkov (for example calling Gorbachev "Gorbachev the Jew") or Rybar (he called Ukrainians "kokhol Jews").
