Вчера защитники России решили захватить власть в России. Поэтому другие защитники России полетели убивать первых защитников России, но те их сами убили. А Герой России Пригожин ехал убивать Героя России Шойгу. Из-за этого Герой России Кадыров ехал убивать Героя России Пригожина. А ещё из-за этого Герой России Бортников возбудил дело против Героя России Пригожина, но тут же закрыл его. Потому что самый главный герой России Путин сначала гарантировал, что предатели понесут наказание, а потом гарантировал, что не понесут. А на тех самых первых защитников, которых убили, всем наплевать. Главное, что все защитники и герои, и можно продолжать гордиться тем, какие у России героические защитники.

На последнем суда меня конвоировали с доберманом, который бешено лаял и рвался с цепи. Написал небольшой пост о том, как дрессируют собак в нашей тюремной системе: t.me/yashin_russia/565

Вау, они убивают детей в Украине, чтобы российские дети не смотрели западные сериалы с пропагандой, а началось всё с сериала "Друзья", где жена Росса оказалась лесбиянкой? Очередной крутой сюжет на России 1!

I couldn’t help but tear up when I saw Memorial on the list. So proud of my mum’s brave, brilliant colleagues!

Для Путина мобилизация - это катастрофа, которая показала, что он лжец и слабак. Почитайте мой новый пост про весь этот п*здец, начавшийся в России: t.me/yashin_russia/528 Фото: Andrew Rushailo-Arno

Day 1 of "partial mobilization" in Russia brings mass mobilization of ethnic minorities and the impoverished Far East, and draft notices handed to anyone who protests anywhere else. Great reporting from @Andrew__Roth theguardian.com/world/2022/s…

In Buratiya, male uni students are being taken straight out of classes. Some schools have closed and turned into enlistment offices. Men are being rounded up and conscripted from small villages. This will all look *very* different in Russia's ethnic republics than in Moscow.

Is 'decolonisation' simply a buzz term within #HEIs in the UK? Mai Abu Moghli & Laila Kadiwal examine several initiatives to decolonise the curriculum with a focus on the field of #education. #OA: #LRE #DecolonisingTheCurriculum ow.ly/vYt130spqza

I was asked today if I worry that Putin is becoming "radicalized." What's more radical than killing tens of thousands of people, building concentration camps, trying to create a famine in Africa? So many people don't seem to understand that the catastrophe is already underway...
