    Interestingly, she was a media commentator and on that big political show in Russia where they all stand at jeopardy like podiums and spread lies. In her last appearance she was citing Fox News to call Americans uninformed.

    Anyone could have done it from the Ukrainians to Putin to Russians to Chechens. All I know is don’t believe the Russians.

    Kind of kooky but in the Iliad Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia before sailing for Troy.

    well, that dude also said some Albanians were shot by Russians when in fact were sprayed w/something. Whether it was pepper spray or Novichok, who knows, just don't take twitter as fact:

    I covered the Albania situation on the other thread today.

    Yes, this particular Twitter author does tend to dig into stuff and sometimes does not have the details on breaking news stories correct. However he does a fairly good job of digging up actual published statements by Russian figures... but it is a stretch to follow his conjecture that this means that Putin's buddy had his own daughter murdered in a car bombing. I don't tend to believe it myself.

    As I posted, a Russian "resistance" organization called "Russia will be free" took responsibility for the killing. And Ukrainians officially denied their involvement. Take it for what it's worth.

    Considering her father's "Kill, kill, kill all Ukrainians" imprecations and the fact that she represented his ideology on propaganda shows, I find it very hard to be sad about the event.

    and here is a funny coincidence: this is Dugin's tweet from exactly a year ago. It reads: "Whatever doesn't kill me, kills someone else".

  10. What free speech looks like in Russia these days. Could be fake news, but Russia does worse everyday so I will believe it for now.


    Russia on brink of anarchy: Taxi driver shot dead after argument over Ukraine war

    Rostov-on-Don is a staging post for Russian troops on their way to fight in Ukraine and is often full of troops.

    Reports claim that a thirty-three-old officer from the Moscow region called Alexei became involved in a heated dispute with a 51-year-old taxi driver.

    As the discussion proceeded, the soldier became increasingly angry with the driver, who was expressing a pro-Ukrainian view.

    The Captain eventually lost control and took out a Makarov pistol, shooting the taxi driver four times and killing him in the process.

    Local resident, Greta Rokald tweeted: "What the hell guys.
