The police finally forced the Yarusskis to remove their stickers.

I watched their stream. A typical redneck who is afraid to say something against Putin, cowardly hiding behind the phrase “we are world” and hating Ukrainians. It's a disgrace that such people live here.

A certain group in Estonia had the desire to showcase on their cars that they are russians. They prominently affixed "I am Russian" (Я русский) on their rear windows. The police instructed them to remove the messages.

Indeed, years ago, such expression might have seemed innocent, but today, we all understand what is intended by it.

"Previously, this car also had "Unit Against Nazism" written on it - this is already a clear expression of Z-idiots. There is no place for such behavior in Estonia. The country is currently hosting many Ukrainian war refugees. One can only imagine how they might feel when seeing such individuals," is commented by the witnesses.

russians, under the pretext of evacuating the population, can take cultural values from Sevastopol museums to russian territory. The occupation administration assigned this task to local emergency officials.

The following message appeared on the website of the so-called Sevastopol Ministry of Emergency Situations: “The third, most important task of civil defense is the evacuation of the population, material and cultural assets to safe areas.”

Pope tells countries not to 'play games' with Ukraine on military aid

Pope Francis said that nations should not "play games" with Ukraine on the matter of military aid, Reuters reported on Sept. 23.

The pope spoke to reporters about his "frustrations" with the war and the arms industry aboard the papal plane while returning to the Vatican from a visit to France.

"It seems to me that the interests in this war are not just those related to the Ukrainian-Russian problem but to the sale of weapons, the commerce of weapons," Pope Francis said.

The pope compared walking back promises of weapons and aid to playing a game.

"We should not play games with the martyrdom of this people," he said.

Pope Francis did not mention any countries by name. Conservative factions in the United States have pressured the government to limit aid deliveries to Ukraine, while Poland recently announced it would curtail weapons transfers in order to focus on its own arsenal.

"I see now that some countries are moving backwards, not wanting to give [Ukraine] arms. A process is starting in which the martyr certainly will be the Ukrainian people and that is an ugly thing," the pope said.

Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni expanded on the pope's comments when asked for clarification.

"It was a reflection on the consequences of the arms industry...those who traffic in weapons never pay the consequences of their choices but leave them to be paid by people, like the Ukrainians, who have been martyred," Bruni said.

Conspiracy Theory showing how Russians are easily manipulated

quote:

Lenin was a mushroom was a highly influential televised hoax by Soviet musician Sergey Kuryokhin and reporter Sergey Sholokhov. It was first broadcast on 17 May 1991 on Leningrad Television.

Hoax
The hoax took the form of an interview on the television program Pyatoe Koleso (The Fifth Wheel). In the interview, Kuryokhin, impersonating a historian, narrated his findings that Vladimir Lenin consumed large quantities of psychedelic mushrooms and eventually became a mushroom and a radio wave. Kuryokhin arrived at his conclusion through a long series of logical fallacies and appeals to the authority of various "sources" (such as Carlos Castaneda, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky), creating the illusion of a reasoned and plausible logical chain.

The timing of the hoax played a large role in its success, coming as it did during the glasnost period when the ebbing of censorship in the Soviet Union led to many revelations about the country's history, often presented in sensational form.[4] Furthermore, Soviet television had, up to that point, been regarded by its audience as conservative in style and content. As a result, a large number of Soviet citizens (one estimate[5] puts the number at 11.3 million audience members) took the deadpan "interview" at face value, in spite of the absurd claims presented.
