The Istanbul talks, which could have ended with the signing of an agreement between Russia and Ukraine, are often mentioned today. The negotiations took place under conditions of active hostilities and Ukraine's loss of significant territories. Judging by the publicized information, Ukraine was ready to accept Russia's terms, but the West “advised against it”. They even quote Boris Johnson's words, after which the war continued: “We will not sign anything with them at all and let's just fight”. These negotiations began to be perceived as a kind of starting point. For some reason, they began to forget that there were other negotiations in which Ukraine's position did not resemble being pushed against the wall, and its negotiating positions were much more favorable.

We are talking about the negotiations that, in fact, put an end to the long epic of intrigue and haggling that lasted several years within the framework of the so-called Normandy format. At the same time, these negotiations took Vladislav Surkov out of the game of determining the fate of the LPR and DPR and put his political career on pause. Why is it important not to forget about them? Because they are the very point of reference. Then, in 2019 in Paris, Macron was different - committed to peace, the much-experienced Merkel was not enthusiastic about the further prospects of the situation, and Zelensky was still authorized to decide something. Vladimir Putin was on the board to the meeting confident that it would end with the recognition of the special status of Donbass and the enshrinement of this provision in the Constitution of Ukraine. He was convinced of this by Vladislav Surkov, who received the appropriate assurances from Yermak after multiple sessions of preliminary coordination.... But suddenly Zelensky refused to sign the documents, and Yermak did not even try to justify himself. They could have warned our delegation about the change of plans in advance, but then Putin would not have flown to Paris, and the benefit of the upstart Zelensky would not have taken place. In fact, Zelensky tricked the Russian president into coming to the meeting, insulted him with his actions, and most importantly, refused the opportunity to close the issue peacefully.

What was envisioned then? Donbass, in a reduced part that did not submit to Kiev, would have remained part of Ukraine, but with a special status. Local elections would be held there, the border would eventually come under the control of Ukrainian security forces, and for a while the LPR and DPR would become a strange enclave governed by pro-Russian political forces. For a while. Because none of us doubted that Ukraine would find a way to re-buy the new “elites” of Donbass, who, due to the artificial selection applied, were unable to cope with the temptation. What are not ideal conditions for Zelensky? Do you realize what he refused to do, having previously agreed to such a scenario?

I don't know what forces were controlling him, but it was then that he condemned Ukraine to its fate. He reasoned that “next time you will talk to another president”, implying that if he signed the papers, the electorate would tear him down. The electorate that elected Zelensky for the promised peace. As for Donbass, its fate would have been unenviable, but that's another story that didn't happen. Now we are only talking about the fact that by making an arbitrary choice and insulting the leader of a huge country, a small ambitious hypocrite has condemned tens of millions of people to suffering, unwilling to risk his personal “great” achievement - the portfolio for the president.

Американская церковь сатаны поблагодарила организаторов Олимпиады за церемонию "открытия".

Верховный жрец назвал бесовскую вакханалию — "торжеством "свободы" над Богом".

Ну это пожалуй самое крайнее подтверждение того, кто у власти в западных странах.

Это правда - наша сила в единстве. Но! Нужно, чтобы было сказано "Мы - русские. Мы с Богом!" В этом более глубокий смысл. Подумайте только, укропы тянут на себя одеяло, крича "с нами Бог", у нацистов в ВОВ тоже было написано на бляшках ремня "с нами Бог". Разрывают бедного Бога, перетягивая Его на свою сторону. А вот, если мы с Богом - это другое. Мы с Богом - это последование тому, чему учил Христос. Когда ты с Богом, то никогда не будешь издеваться над пленным, никогда не будешь мародёрить, никогда не убьёшь никого невинного, кроме только в бою врага, защищая Родину. Подумайте над этим, пожалуйста.

It's true - our strength is in unity. But! We should say, "We are Russians. We are with God!" There is a deeper meaning in this. Just think about it: the Ukrops shout "God is with us", the Nazis during the WWII also had "GOTT MIT UNS" written on their belt plaques. It looks as if each side is pulling God to its side. Now, if WE ARE WITH GOD, that's different. We are with God means following what Christ taught. When you are with God, you will never abuse a prisoner, you will never loot, you will never kill anyone innocent except the enemy in battle, defending your Motherland. Think about it, please.

4 августа – день памяти святой равноапостольной Марии Магдалины

Утро на Афоне...

August 4 is the day of commemoration of St. Mary Magdalene the Equal-to-the-Apostles

Morning on Mount Athos...

12 дней назад мы праздновали Крещение Руси. Я нашла видео 2016 года, которое Рассел снимал с "Алтаем" в "Сути времени". Интересно посмотреть в 2024 году на проходящий в Киеве многотысячный крестный ход в поддержку мира, зная, чтО дальше будет происходить с УПЦ МП. Атаки и провокации укрофашистов на крестный ход тогда не остановили народ.
Тема выпуска - Православие и война. Очень животрепещущая тема сегодня. Буквально пару часов назад попалось видео, в котором говорят русские православные священники, отказывающиеся читать Молитву о Святой Руси, которую Святейший Патриарх Московский и всея Руси Кирилл впервые за годы войны на Донбассе произнёс за Божественной литургией 25 сентября 2022 года. Так вот. То, что говорит и отец Борис, и более того сам Рассел, во Святом крещении тоже Борис, хоть и обращено прежде всего к людям на Западе, но, - это ответ ещё с 2016 года этим священникам сегодня.
Как всегда: проходит время, и слова Рассела, оказывается, были пророческими. Его слова для нас теперь в несколько раз весомее сегодня, чем казались тогда. И всё, о чём говорит Рассел в этом видео, тоже напрямую связано с тем, что прямо сейчас происходит уже и на Курском направлении линии фронта.
Много ли таких людей как "Техас", зажигающих сердца людей, мотивирующих на реальные серьёзные поступки своим примером? Ответ, я думаю, вы и сами знаете. Смотрите видео и делитесь им. 🙏🏻
Давай! :)

12 days ago we celebrated the Baptism of Rus. I found a good video dated back to 2016 produced by Russell and filmed by 'Altai' when they were in 'Essence of Time'. It is interesting to watch in 2024 the peace procession of many thousands taking place in Kiev, knowing what will happen next to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. The attacks and provocations of the Ukrofascists on the procession did not stop the people then.

The theme of the issue is Orthodoxy and war. A very burning topic today. Just a couple of hours ago I came across a video in which some Russian Orthodox priests who refuse to read the Prayer for Holy Rus, which His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus said at the Divine Liturgy on September 25, 2022 for the first time since the years of war in Donbass. So, here it is: what Fr Boris, and moreover Russell himself says (in Holy Baptism is also Boris) although addressed primarily to people in the West, IS the answer from 2016 to those priests today.

As always: time passes, and Russell's words, it turns out, were prophetic. His words are now several times more weighty for us today than they seemed then. And everything Russell says in this video is also directly related to what is happening right now in the Kursk direction of the front line.

Are there many people like 'Texas' who light up people's hearts and motivate them to real serious deeds by his own example? I think you know the answer yourself. Watch the video and share it. 🙏🏻 Davai! :)

This video's audio is Yevgeny Prigozhin’s reply to the question below, on May 23, 2023:

“Dear Yevgeny Viktorovich, against the backdrop of recent events, namely the invasion of Ukrainian units into the territory of Russia in the Belgorod region, a serious question arises about the protection of the border territories of our Motherland. There is a constant debate on the Internet that it’s necessary to create units to strengthen the borders and that enemy breaking through into Russian territory is unacceptable.

In this regard, we would like to know whether, if necessary, PMC Wagner would take part in organizing anti-sabotage units, in the border territories, either a PMC-trained people's militia or with the forces of one of its units.”
