A source tells me that many Russian tanks/heavy machines don’t simply run out of fuel — crews dump the fuel intentionally, as soon as they learn that their destination is Kyiv. After all they’ve been told that they were going as “peacekeepers” to “protect Russians” in Donbas.

To a non-Russian born in 🇷🇺, the whole “Latvian scandal” looks more like a clash of cultures rather than a press freedom issue. In 🇷🇺n constitution ethnic Russians are a “titular nation.” They’re indoctrinated with being a “superior nation” so, equality they see as Russophobia

There is a common (Russia-incepted) confusion among the Western thinkers that Chechnya or Dagestan are the regions whose choices decide the future of Caucasus. That view has been proven historically wrong. Circassia is the key to the Caucasus. (The meme is from Facebook group)

Nalchik right now. The region’s government representative keeps repairing: “We must implement the federal law!” Women respond that he can go to hell with that law. One says, “You take kids who don’t even know how to shoot!” The other says “15 kids are already back, dead!”

Speaking of the Russian troops morale: below is a short fragment of a much longer record (can’t upload bcs Twitter won’t allow the length). If you know Ru, listen, if not - here is a summary: we are properly and thoroughly f-d.

я в Праге стояла в очереди в банке за президентом Вацлавом Гавелом, сомневалась, потом нас обслужили одновременно в разных кассах, и мы одновременно вышли на улицу - прохожие здоровались с ним «Ahoj pan president» - так обыденно и ненавязчиво как с соседом мимоходом.
Ну я как-то на фуршете в честь дня русской литературы или что-то такое в Любляне пил шампанское с тогдашним президентом Словении (и хорошо что не отмочил шутку про президента Словении, он такой коротышка был смешной), пока мне не сказали, кто это. Никаких наушников вокруг не было

Several men in Russian military attire were sitting at the floor, smocking cigarettes. Kids were also trying to get trough after classes. I asked a teacher what’s going on. Special forces units from central Russia got deployed to Nalchik, stationed at local schools, she said.
