I’ve been riveted by Andrei Znamenski’s Red Shambhala — Magic, Prophecy and Geopolitics in the Heart of Asia.

Non-fiction spy thriller set in Mongolia, Tibet, Altai, Kalmyk and Buryat; about how the early atheistic Soviets tried to win over the Tibetan Buddhist people over to the cause of Communism.

RT @commonspaceEU: #Lukashenko, made a surprise appearance in #Abkhazia yesterday, in a move that many see as part of the #Kremlin’s present strategy to further distabilise #Eurasia to help achieve the ultimate aim, which is complete Russian hegemony on the post-Soviet Space.https://www.commonspace.eu/editorial/editorial-lukashenkos-trip-abkhazia-another-act-putins-nefarious-plan

RT @nexta_tv: Dmitri #Medvedev called the massacre in #Bucha an example of a fake, "grown in the cynical imagination of #Ukrainian propaganda.

He also said that #Russia's goal is to build an open #Eurasia from #Lisbon to #Vladivostok, including for the peace of mind of #Ukrainians themselves.
