Brainwashing is spreading in Norway

Reading time: 6 minutes

An article by Dan-Viggo Bergtun published in steigan.no on June 11, 2026, and translated from Norwegian by us at “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”. Even though the article is written primarily with Norway in mind, what Dan-Viggo says is equally applicable to all the Western European countries, so heed the warning!

We AI-translated from Norwegian the AI-generated image by Dan-Viggo Bergtun. There are a couple of inaccuracies, as can be expected. “Fred” means “peace” in Norwegian, so the bubble in the middle should read “Peace is naivety”. Two of the bubbles in the corner should read: “We must be scared” and “This is for our own best”.
See the original image in Norwegian further down in the article.

Brainwashing is when common sense is wiped out. It is when the human capacity for independent judgment is gradually weakened, overridden and replaced by ready-made slogans, fixed enemy images and political reflexes. The brainwashed person does not necessarily think he is lying. The dangerous thing is precisely that he can be convinced that he is telling the truth, because the propaganda has been repeated for so long that it is perceived as his own thought.

This is what makes the development in Norway so serious. Our politicians are becoming the bearers of a brainwashing they themselves do not see. They repeat the message of war as if it were wisdom. They repeat the threat images as if they were sober analysis. They repeat that more guns means more security, as if history has not already shown us how wrong it can go when societies let fear rule.

This is no longer just about political dissent. It is about the manipulation of an entire people. We are manipulated through words, images, headlines, news broadcasts, expert panels and political speeches. We are told that the world is so dangerous that we must accept ever more rearmament. We are told that thoughts of peace are naivety. We are told that diplomacy is weakness. We are told that obedience to alliances and great powers is the same as responsible Norwegian politics.

This is how the boundaries in our heads are shifted. Little by little. Day after day.

Ukrainian Nazis with their US-NATO backers destroy panorama “The Defence of Sevastopol 1854 -1855”

The epic panorama “The Defence of Sevastopol 1854 -1855”, now destroyed by the Ukrainian US-backed Nazis.

Maria Zaharova writes:

We have now witnessed an attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the panorama “The Defense of Sevastopol 1854 – 1855”. According to media reports, it has been almost completely destroyed. Let me remind you that Franz Roubaud’s panorama “The Defense of Sevastopol 1854 – 1855” is a world-famous work of battle painting, dedicated to the key battle of the Crimean War* — the assault on Malakhov Hill on June 6, 1855, when the Russian troops managed to repel the attack of the superior forces of the Anglo-French army.

This is yet another proof of why Westerners are using the Kiev regime for their own interests. They need, among other things, to destroy evidence of their crimes and defeats.

They have already become adept at destroying historical monuments in their own territory, and now they want to destroy monuments in the post-Soviet space as well. They tried to destroy them with our own hands by spreading pseudoscientific materials and pseudo-historical textbooks, trying to influence our domestic politics. It didn’t work.

Booby traps used by the Dushmans bear traces of American “technology”. Radio-controlled mines for adults, mines-toys for children

Reading time: 9 minutes

Another case of US-backed Ukrainian terrorists booby trapping everyday objects has come to light. This time it is water bottles. Previously, ever since 2022, there had been reports of Ukraine dropping booby trapped everyday objects in Donetsk.

Afghan women choose LP records in a music store, before the Taliban came to power. Afghanistan, 1960.

Today, in the age of Internet, it is easy to ascertain who stands behind these atrocities, and we are not speaking about Ukraine, but about its handler – the USA. In light of this development, another era comes to mind – the war in Afghanistan, where USA also created and used a proxy, Taliban, and applied the same insidious “technologies” – planting bombs and then shifting the blame for them on to the USSR.

Let us first read an admission coming from the mass murderer, Zbigniew Brzezinski, admitting to the crime of terrorism, all in the name of breaking up the USSR, which in turn was the largest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century, after WWII. The collapse of the USSR, directly and indirectly, resulted in about 30 million Soviet people losing their lives due to poverty, malnutrition, crime, wars and conflicts. Today’s civil war in Ukraine, fuelled by the USA, is also a direct consequence of Zbigniew Brzezinski actions and the collapse of the USSR.

From a 1998 interview with Zbigniew Brzezinski on Afghanistan in Le Nouvel Observateur

Q : When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against secret US involvement in Afghanistan, nobody believed them. However, there was an element of truth in this. You don’t regret any of this today?

B: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter, essentially: “We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war.” Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war that was unsustainable for the regime, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.

Q: And neither do you regret having supported Islamic fundamentalism, which has given arms and advice to future terrorists?

B : What is more important in world history? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some agitated Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?


And now, let us move on to an article with an interview, published by “Argumenty i Fakty” on February 6, 1988, debunking the projected accusations directed by the murderer at its victim:

Booby traps used by the Dushmans bear traces of American “technology.” Radio-controlled mines for adults, mines-toys for children

Recently, the “Voice of America” program once again claimed that Soviet troops in Afghanistan continue to allegedly use mines disguised as children’s toys. Our correspondent asked a group of internationalist soldiers who served there over the years to comment on such reports: colonels A. GREBENYUK and A. LOGACHEV, officers of the engineering troops; A. DAVYDOV and S. VERASHCHAGIN, now students of the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute; S. VISLOYAN, V. KARIMOV, S. CHIKIN, workers of the AZLK; V. KARASEV, now a student at MGIMO.

CORRESPONDENT. Who uses mines more often in Afghanistan: Soviet troops or Dushman (Taliban) groups?

GREBENYUK. Our and Afghan troops are not in a defensive position, they have no military need for widespread use of mines. The dushmans defend themselves: striking from around the corner, stealthily, in order to escape from pursuit, they set up minefields, masking them very carefully.

But, in addition, mines are insidious and terrible sabotage weapons, automatic weapons of destruction, which make it possible to inflict losses without putting themselves in danger. Every year, thousands of mines are planted by Dushmans on roads and in populated areas.

DAVIDOV. This is not to say that mines are found in Afghanistan at every turn, but during my year and a half of service there, I was blown up in transport twice. The commander of my guard company, Captain E. Dymov, died, covering a land mine with his body. Last summer, while working in Kabul as part of a student medical team, our group almost fell victim to a motorcycle bomb explosion, we did not reach it by only forty meters.

CORRESPONDENT. Which mines do Dushmans prefer to use?

«Starobelsk. No Child Should Die.» An RT documentary

Reading time: < 1 minute

On the night of May 22, 2026, students at a college in Starobelsk, LPR, shouted: ‘Why are they doing this to us? We’re just kids!’


Backup at Rumble.

This film chronicles a drone attack during which the Ukrainian Armed Forces killed sleeping students in cold blood. Twenty-one people died and several dozen were injured. These young people had dreamed of becoming teachers and working in schools. Some were even already planning their weddings. But their dreams were buried beneath the rubble.

The film crew visited what remained of the dormitory building, along with the students and teachers who survived. Their aim was to piece together every detail of those horrific events. Among them was Elena Yuryeva, a teacher who saved more than 30 injured students by leading them out of the dorm.

The drone raid launched by the Kiev regime in Starobelsk claimed the lives of innocent teens. Their deaths are a tragedy for their parents, as well as the teachers who had to identify their students’ bodies. The survivors are left with harrowing memories. The terrorist attack has inflicted immense pain on the city and all of Russia.

7 killed in a US-NATO (proxy: Ukraine) terrorist attack on a passenger bus on the way to Crimea

Reading time: 2 minutes

Today, a Ukrainian suicide drone attacked a passenger bus in the city of Yenakiieve (DPR) that was heading from Moscow to Simferopol.

It is reported that there were 46 people in the cabin.
According to the head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, seven people were killed, their identities are being established, and 11 passengers were injured.

The attack on a bus carrying civilians in Yenakievo is not a tragic accident. It is a vile, deliberate, and inhumane crime against people who were unarmed and posed no threat to anyone.

When civilians, women, elderly, and families become the target and come under fire this is a manifestation of cruelty that transcends all human and moral norms. It is an atrocity for which there is and can be no justification.

There are no military objectives that could justify the bloodshed of civilians. There are no arguments that can absolve those who issue and execute such criminal orders from responsibility.

Those who turn civilians into targets must know: these crimes have no statute of limitations and cannot be hidden behind political slogans or propaganda. Every incident will be subject to legal assessment, and every perpetrator will face the punishment they deserve.

I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the victims. In this difficult time, we share their grief and hope for the swift recovery of all the wounded.

Before you is a fragment of a 1943 Soviet comedy film, created at the joint film studios of Stalinobad* and Soyuzdetfilm**.

It very abruptly stops being a comedy when the monologue of Aunt Adele (played by the legendary Faina Ranevskaya) tears right through at your soul. It is Motherland speaking on behalf of all those mothers, whose children were killed by the Nazis. It is an accusation of Nazism and a declaration of the ultimate judgement to come, a public judgement which, as we know, manifested in the Nuremberg Trials.

Transcript:

Schweik: Oh, you, despicable dog! Who are you calling for, fool?
You’ve killed everyone, but you should’ve started with me.

After all, I am Iosif Schweik. Yes, yes, the very same! The book about whom you burned on the squares of Berlin. The one that hates you, like all the Czechs, like all the Slavs, the whole world!

Close your mouth! Stand at the wall!

Aunt Adele: What are you going to do, Schweik?

Schweik: I want to shoot him, Aunt Adele.

Aunt Adele: Put the revolver away. We are going to judge him.

Listen, you! I don’t even know how to call you. There is no suitable word in the human language. My children were shot at at your behest. Thousands of graves are along your way, and in each lies my child, killed by you. I fed and watered each one of them, taught them to walk, waited for each one of them, but the wait was in vain. No one came back home, did not sit at the table with me, did not lead the old me along the street by my hand, and at night, did not breathe with one breath under the same roof with me.

Why did you kill them?!

Are you silent?!

But you will answer us, you will answer to everyone, for whom you brought suffering and grief.

Schweik: Not so fast! Nothing will help you now.

Trivia:

This film might have served as an inspiration to the 1978 Italian comedy “Uncle Adolf, Nicknamed Führer”, a fragment from which we posted earlier.

* Stalinobad is the name of the present-day Dushanbe — the capital of Tajik SSR. It was called thus between 1929 and 1961 — literally the Stalingrad of Tajikistan. Dushanbe means “Monday”, and stems from the name of the village, where the capital was founded in 1925. Before that, the village was literally called Dyushambe-Bozor — “a market on Mondays”.

** Soyuzdetfilm is an abbreviation for “The Union’s Children’s Films”.

Starobelsk children: Murdered by the Kiev Regime, with US-NATO’s direct guidance

Reading time: 3 minutes

Statement by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

▪️ On the night of May 22, the Nazi regime carried out a heinous terrorist attack (https://t.me/MFARussia/30072)on the academic building and dormitory of the college of Lugansk State Pedagogical University in Starobelsk, LPR, using 16 UAVs, 4 of them heavy, in three waves.

The terrorist attack claimed 21 young lives. Just a week ago, they were students with dreams, plans and a future. Today, all that remains are photographs, memories and unbearable grief.

#NoStatuteOfLimitations: Look into their eyes. Ordinary students. Whole lives ahead of them. MURDERED IN STAROBELSK.

This strike was not an accident or a malfunction. It was a deliberate, targeted act of inhuman cruelty against civilians.

💬 Russia’s Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:

These young people dreamed of becoming teachers and passing knowledge on to the next generations. They had their whole lives ahead of them. Look at the photographs of the students who were killed, look into their eyes… They were the ones Kiev chose to kill.

Kiev’s neo-Nazis treacherously stole these young people’s lives and dreams – and, in effect, those of all their loved ones as well.

Russian Embassy to the UK comment on British media’s selective reporting of the Ukrainian strike on Starobelsk

❌ A week on from the strike on Starobelsk, British [including, state-owned!] media outlets have failed to report objectively or professionally on the terrorist attack carried out by the Kiev regime against a student dormitory of the Luhansk State Pedagogical University.

To recall, 21 people were killed and 44 injured. The majority of the victims were aged between 15 and 22.

Particular attention should be drawn to the BBC’s hypocritical stance. Having declined to join the Russian Foreign Ministry’s press trip to the site of the tragedy, the broadcaster nevertheless published an investigative article on the subject.

However, this piece adds nothing of substance, as it differs little from the standard tenets of Western propaganda. It either ignores the incident altogether or mentions it only in passing, as something insignificant. Phrases such as “not able to independently verify what happened”, “according to the Russian side”, and “what Moscow calls a Ukrainian strike” imply complicity.

British media are afraid to tell the truth: it is precisely this Ukraine – one that has been killing children since 2014 – that enjoys London’s “unwavering support”. Against this backdrop, any statement by the UK authorities in defence of children’s rights amounts to hypocrisy and manipulation.

☝️ British correspondents are keen to amplify the Ukrainian narrative about thousands of minors allegedly deported by Russia, yet remain silent when Ukrainian drones kill schoolchildren in their sleep.

This once again lays bare the true face of British media, which bear their share of responsibility for the continuation of the conflict.

“Disinformation and Manipulation as a Tool of Hybrid War Against the Global Majority for the Preservation of Hegemony” – Maria Zakharova’s speech

Reading time: 14 minutes

Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, participated in the session “Disinformation and Manipulation as a Tool of Hybrid War Against the Global Majority for the Preservation of Hegemony” as part of the International Security Forum.

She spoke about the West’s manipulations using the examples of the provocation in Bucha and its prototype in 1944 (Nemmersdorf) in contrast with the terrorist attack by the Kiev regime in Starobelsk. Unlike the non-existent lists of “victims” of Bucha, Russia presented the names and photos of each of the deceased college students. She also talked about the double standards in USA’s attitude towards Iran and the ongoing rewriting of the history of WWII.

Below is the translated transcript of fragments of Maria Zakharova’s speech and statements. The original video is in the post of her Telegram channel.


Moderator: Colleagues, I would like to give the floor to the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Maria Vladimirovna Zakharova. Maria Vladimirovna, I would like to hear your opinion on this problem. How necessary is a consolidated reaction of countries to information leaks and attacks? What can be done? Where are we now? Thank you. The floor is yours.

Good afternoon, colleagues. Today we started discussing this topic in the first half of the day when we discussed the problem of neocolonialism. As a rule, we consider the problem of information and fake news separately. Why? Because this is a boundless ocean of problems. In fact, disinformation, fake news, unscrupulous journalism – or, best to say, quasi-journalism, all manipulations in the information environment have specific goals and tasks. And they are formulated very simply: “with the help of information, to subordinate those who need to be robbed, who need to be deceived, who need to be manipulated”.

Within the framework of the whole world, geopolitically, this is a constant confrontation of those who call themselves the flowering garden, as the high representative on foreign policy of the European Union, Borrell, said, and the wild jungles, as he called the rest of the world.

The narrow group of countries, and in the broadest sense of the word “narrow” – both from the point of view of their number and their worldview, because this approach is based on one thesis: “Take away, rob, subordinate, deceive, manipulate”. They are constantly fighting for domination in the world, using all the opportunities for this.

It was largely always like this, but it was the 20th century that demonstrated new technological capabilities and made it possible to fight for domination over others also with the help of information tools.

Not only weapons, not only weapons of mass destruction, not only nuclear weapons – I am now dividing these things, because weapons of mass destruction can be non-nuclear weapons. Not only trade wars, illegitimate sanctions can be and are the instrument of the unscrupulous regimes, as a tool to subjugate other states and peoples to their will. But, of course, also information.

We see it constantly, live. Unfortunately, this topic and this problem will only worsen with the mass introduction of artificial intelligence and digitalisation elements into life. Why? Because, again, unfortunately, technology and resources are concentrated – I can’t say in one hand – but they are trying to be appropriated by all the same countries, again – the collective Western minority – which have used various types of resources for their own hegemony or defending the myth of their own domination.

Now they will use new tools, they are already using artificial intelligence and digitalisation. But I think you know this theoretical part very well, and I think my colleagues will continue to develop it today.

I want to give you a specific example how in these very days we observe the use of all of the technological – both traditional and new – capabilities for their unscrupulous use in the context of information confrontation. I will show two situations as an example. They are related to the crisis that takes place around Ukraine, in Ukraine.

Western despicable perversion of truth and silence about the Starobelsk massacre, and the final warning from Russia #NatoTerrorAgainstStarobelsk #NoStatuteOfLimitations

Reading time: 15 minutes

In Tribute to the victims of US-NATO terrorist bombing of Starobelsk college we saw that the British state-controlled BBC journalists refused to go to Starobelsk, CNN representatives were supposedly on vacation, and Japanese journalists were forbidden to cover the terrorist attack in the LPR.

But the presstitute accessary to murder goes much further than that. What we see unfolding is a dual atrocity – first the war crime itself, and then the whitewashing of the war crime! A war crime that was committed by US-NATO with Ukrainian hands. Western media outlets not only continued to give the Starobelsk massacre the silent treatment, they continued to propagate the outright lie about the college being a military target. In doing so, each and every “journalist” of BBC, CNN, ARD, the Japanese media, etc., are becoming in part personally responsible for the atrocity, and will bear the full legal consequences of their actions (or inaction) during the Nuremberg 2.0 trials over the modern Nazi criminals.

Below we present several materials from our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden” on precisely this dual atrocity, with reactions from the Russian diplomatic corps to it. The materials are posted under the tag #NatoTerrorAgainstStarobelsk

“This is no longer even double standards. It is moral decay and disgrace.”

The Kiev regime’s gruesome terrorist attack on the academic building and dormitory of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University College claimed 21 young lives (most of them girls born in 2006-2007), with more than 60 people injured.

Two days later, after rescuers had completed their search, foreign correspondents were invited to visit the site of the tragedy. The BBC was not among them – it refused outright. CNN was absent, citing holidays. Japanese journalists did not come either – Tokyo banned them from travelling to Starobelsk.

Many others, however, chose to see with their own eyes the aftermath of the crime committed by the Ukrainian militants on the night of May 22: the ruins, the witnesses, and the hospital where the injured are being treated.

⚡️ Statement of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the attacks by armed formations of the Kiev regime on the civilian population of Russia (May 25, 2026)

The bloody attack carried out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the night of May 22 using drones on the educational building and dormitory of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University in Starobelsk (LNR) became another blatant evidence of the nazi and terrorist nature of the Kiev regime, which deliberately targets civilians and does not stop at the cold-blooded murder of children.

Zelensky’s junta and its Western sponsors, who supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine with weapons for crimes against our people, have demonstrated to the whole world their gross disregard for the norms of international humanitarian law.

There is a direct violation of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their additional protocols, which regulate the protection of civilians during conflicts, the Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989, and a number of other significant international acts.

❗️ All this has overflowed the cup of patience. In the current conditions, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are beginning to systematically strike at Ukrainian military-industrial complex enterprises in Kiev, including specific locations for the design, production, programming, and preparation for the use of UAVs used by the Kiev regime with the assistance of NATO specialists responsible for supplying components, providing intelligence data, and targeting. Strikes will also be carried out on decision-making centers and command posts.

☝️ Due to the fact that the aforementioned objects are scattered throughout Kiev, we warn foreign citizens, including the staff of diplomatic missions and international organisations’ representative offices, about the need to leave the city as soon as possible, and residents of the Ukrainian capital — not to approach the military and administrative infrastructure of the Zelensky regime.

🦇 One important remark regarding Nuremberg Trials: it was Iosif Stalin who insisted on the open trials over the Nazi criminals, documenting their crimes. The Western “allies” wanted to simply quietly finish them off.

From our post “Nuremberg Tribunals 1.0” at Beorn And The Shieldmaiden:

It was primarily the Soviet Union that insisted on its [Nuremberg’s] implementation, while the Western powers, who had suffered significantly fewer casualties in the war, were not averse to dealing with the Nazi leaders without trial. This idea was expressed by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill back in 1942, and US Secretary of State Cordell Hull said that he would prefer to “shoot and physically destroy the entire Nazi leadership”.

The leadership of the USSR turned out to be much more far-sighted and wiser than many Western politicians, advocating a legal procedure for punishing war criminals. When Churchill tried to impose his opinion on Joseph Stalin, he firmly objected:

“Whatever happens, there must be … an appropriate judicial decision. Otherwise people will say that Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin simply took revenge on their political enemies!”

Dear fellow citizens!

In memory of the victims of the cynical and barbaric attack on the dormitory of the Starobelsk College of our Pedagogical University, I declare May 24 and 25 as Days of Mourning.

The rescue and search operations have been completed. To our great sorrow, 21 people died as a result of the attack. This is an irreparable loss for their families, loved ones, and all of us.

I express my condolences to the families of the victims. I wish a speedy recovery to all those who suffered in this tragedy.

Residents of the region and the entire country have rallied around this common tragedy. Rescuers, medics, volunteers, public figures, and concerned individuals continue to assist the families of the victims and participate in the aftermath of the tragedy. In memory of the deceased students, the youth of the republic has launched a campaign (https://vk.ru/wall-221342131_17870) on social media called “They Were Just Studying”. Everyone can join it.

This attack is pure evil, for which there is and can be no justification. The neo-Nazis committed a war crime, which has no statute of limitations. Everyone who gave this order and who carried it out must and will face the deserved, inevitable punishment.

Lugansk mourns…

Leonid Pasechnik, Head of LNR

Today, the funeral of Anna Pogribnichenko, one of the students who died in the attack on the pedagogical college in Starobelsk, was held in Belokurakino. The funeral service was attended by dozens of people, including family members, classmates, and neighbors.

“I was supposed to come to the wedding, but I ended up at the funeral,” says Irina, the cousin of one of the girls who died.

Anna, who was only 19 years old, had dreamed of becoming a teacher. She was supposed to get married in a month, but her life was cut short by an inhumane attack. When the drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the college, Anna ran outside in an attempt to escape, but a second drone arrived at the same time. She died on the spot, burned alive. Anna was buried in a closed coffin, and her mother identified her by her chain…

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski after Ukrainian strike killed 6 in Lugansk SCHOOL DORM

“We hope that Putin recalculates now that US-EU weapons are flowing”

“We were briefed by [Ukraine FM]. Things are looking up”


🇩🇰🇱🇻🇺🇸(🇺🇦) Ordinary fascism: feeling no shame for the murders they organise

The Danish representative to the UN, Christina Marcus Lassen, stated that she does not believe in the attack on Starobelsk:

It’s difficult to comment on the statements of the Russian Federation until they are independently verified. Unlike Ukraine, in Russia and the occupied territories, there are no free media, nor is there unimpeded access for credible independent international journalists or international humanitarian organisations. Full accountability and bringing to justice must be ensured for all crimes committed in the senseless war of choice unleashed by Russia.

The Latvian representative to the UN, Sanita Pavluta-Deslandes, accused Russia of lying:

Russia only operates on the basis of its own statements. Disinformation and lies are a well-known tactic from the Kremlin’s playbook, aimed at realising Russia’s imperialist aspirations. Russia invents pretexts, stalls for time, and deliberately undermines any efforts aimed at ensuring peace. Latvia, on the other hand, will only rely on facts, not on any assumptions.

“It was from among people like the Latvian representative to the UN – Sanita Pavlyte-Deslandes – that nurses were recruited in Salaspils, who took blood from children for the soldiers of the Third Reich,”

Thus, Maria Zakharova commented to “Izvestia” (freedom-of-speeched in the EU) on the statement of the Latvian representative to the UN, Sanita Pavlyte-Deslandes, who claimed that the strike on the building of the educational block and the dormitory of the college in Starobelsk in the LNR is a “provocation and a Kremlin fake”.

“Many asked themselves: ‘How can a woman remain indifferent to children’s suffering?’. Now we see it with our own eyes,” – added the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

IN CONNECTION WITH THE BLATANT LIES SPREAD YESTERDAY AT THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL BY WESTERNERS, PARTICULARLY THE DISGRACEFUL STATEMENT BY THE LATVIAN DELEGATION THAT THERE WERE NO ATTACKS BY THE UKRAINIAN ARMY ON A COLLEGE IN STAROBELSK, WE ARE ORGANISING A VISIT TO THE TRAGEDY SITE FOR ACCREDITED FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS IN MOSCOW.

I hope the BBC and CNN won’t take a vacation.

🇺🇸 Elon Musk is killing Russian children

The strike drones that attacked the Starobelsk College were controlled using Starlink, just like other long-range drones that have repeatedly attacked civilians and children in other parts of Russia.

Elon Musk cannot be unaware that Starlink is being used to kill civilians, including children.

Starobelsk college before NATO’s bombing

The Armed Forces of Ukraine bombed the educational building and dormitory of the Starobilsk College.

– By historian Vladimir Medinsky

One of the oldest educational institutions in Donbass (first half of the 19th century). It trained kindergarten educators and primary school teachers.

After the drone attack — they hit it with precision, in three waves — everything was destroyed. 21 students were killed, and more than 40 were injured.

❗️Only the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War targeted schools, colleges, pioneer camps, and children with such precision. I can’t think of any other similar analogies. (🦇 We at BATS can think of another very recent parallell — USA’s bombing of schoolgirls in Minab, Iran)

PS. The reaction of these scumbags from Latvia and Denmark, sitting in the UN and “feeling no shame” is particularly shocking.

We are often kind-hearted, forgetful, and prone to forgiving. But just think about what these people could do to us, to our children, if they were to win.

Think about it…

A history lesson for the United Europe of the Fourth Reich

Reading time: 9 minutes

There is a saying that those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. An even more forceful version was suggested by Dmitriy and Putinger’s Cat:

“Those who alter history will have their geography altered”

Ukraine is now living this axiom. The Baltics are eager to “find out”. Will Germany follow that path to the end, too?

The next materials are history lessons for assorted Merzes, Macrons, von der Leyens and other fuhrers-wannabe of a united Europe in its new “Drang nach Osten”. This series appeared first at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”.


A meeting with an ancestor

A meeting with an ancestor

Only five minutes left till death.
Melting ice cracking under Fritz.
And one last time, he sends to Bertha-fiancé
His soldier’s farewell.

While in the waters, meeting Fritz,
And banging with his rusty armor,
Teutonic knight is rising from the depth,
Saying: “Soldier, wait!

Tell me, my descendant, have
My German kin
Not gotten wiser over seven centuries,
That Russians they engage in battle?

The Slavs have beaten me on ice;
And now the Slavs are beating you.
Have you forgotten history?
You now acknowledge history no more?”

And Fritz’s voice was hard to hear,
Already going deep under the ice:
“We aren’t allowed to learn from history
By maddened Fuhrer!”

“Stalin’s Delaying Tactics Against Hitler. Two Years of Astute Manoeuvring”

Reading time: 2 minutes

In the present, the West is howling, recalling the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Meanwhile earlier, they were admiring Stalin’s cunning in concluding this pact. Not just immediately after the treaty was signed, but even while waging war against Hitler.

I came across a large and competent analysis of Soviet-German relations, published in the “Times” exactly 85 years ago – on May 1, 1941, a month and a half before the start of the Great Patriotic War. As you can see, the article is titled: “Stalin’s Delaying Tactics Against Hitler. Two Years of Astute Manoeuvring”.

The author, thoroughly analysing Stalin’s motives, writes: “On May Day two years ago, Soviet Russia looked like a country under the greatest threat.” The subtitle reads: “The Threats Have Been Eliminated.”

Speaking of Stalin, the “Times” pays him tribute:

“Perhaps. His strong, complex, pragmatic Caucasian mind is less inclined to theorising than to strategic facts. Since 1939, Soviet Russia has indeed avoided major threats. When Stalin saw that Germany had decided to move east, he withdrew from negotiations with Britain and France and met Germany halfway, making it easier for the Germans to go to war, while keeping the Soviet Union out of it.”

At the same time, the author directly writes that Germany continues to prepare for war with the Soviets, about which German officers are quite openly talking everywhere. He mentions, by the way, the Germans’ preparation of Ukrainian militants to fight against the Soviets. And he even hints unambiguously at the time of the possible start of a German attack on the USSR — the coming summer.

He also writes about how the Russians, taking advantage of the respite, are intensively preparing for the upcoming war. Both in military and ideological terms. In particular, he notes that recently the Soviet media have been writing less about the “world revolution”, and more about the “Soviet Motherland”, which needs to be defended…

A very sensible analysis. And no hysteria about the “devilish conspiracy” and the “cunning tyrant”. I emphasise, by that time, the British had been at war with the Germans for almost two years!

The “Burned villages” layer has been updated on the public cadastral map on Belorussia

Reading time: 2 minutes

On the eve of the Great Victory Day, the Belorussian National Cadastral Agency, together with the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Republic of Belarus, updated the information layer “Burnt Villages” on the public cadastral map.

This thematic layer, published in 2021, has become a kind of digital monument to the victims of the war and an important tool for preserving historical memory. Its content is based on data obtained by the Prosecutor General’s Office during the investigation of the criminal case on the genocide of the Belarusian people. According to the results of investigative actions over 5 years, more than 4,000 previously unaccounted-for settlements were additionally mapped.

Results of the current update:

  • 15 villages identified during the investigation have been added.;
  • The descriptive information for more than 300 villages has been clarified;
  • The location of 35 villages has been adjusted.

Today, the map contains data on 12,858 affected villages. A special place in this list is occupied by 290 settlements that shared the sad fate of Khatyn. These villages were burned down along with their inhabitants, disappearing forever from the map of the country.

Data collection, verification, and updating are ongoing.

Each marker on the map is not just a dot, but a tribute to the memory of millions of innocent victims, and our duty is to protect the truth about the events of the Great Patriotic War and pass it on to future generations.

📖 Out of the Fire

Make sure to read the book “Out of the Fire”, available at the Internet Archive!

English translation of Out of the Fire [Я з вогненнай вёскі (Ya z vognennaj vyoski) / Я из огненной деревни (Ya iz ognennoj derevni) / I Am From a Fire Village], published by Progress Publishers in Moscow in 1980. Originally published in Belarus in 1975/6. Writers Ales Adamovich, Yanka Bryl, and Vladimir Kolesnik conducted interviews with survivors – mainly women and grown children – of fascist Germany’s genocidal violence against the Soviet Union, when hundreds of Belarussian villages were burned to the ground and their inhabitants murdered. Some snippets of these transcriptions would later work their way into Adamovich’s novel Khatyn. His script for Come and See also used this same source material. An anti-fascist masterwork of horror and hope. Translation by Angelia Graf and Nina Belenkaya. Book design by Arlen Kashurevich.
