#Ruschism's creator half-#Chechen /half-Indo-European #Surkov wrote "Half Breed Loneliness" in 2018.

It's Muscovy's epitaph.

Celebrates Muscovy's isolation.

Projects (as all Ruschist historiography does) personal inadequacy unto an imaginary State - Ruschia.

Surkov as ex-deputy prime mi ister of Muscovy has been charged with shoring up Putin's control.

Surkov built Nashe a Ruschist youth movement trained to terrorise demonstrators.

⚡️# Ruschism's Essence: What have I missed?

Continuity #Ruschist Empire (#Potemkin, and all that).

Continuity Ruschist so-called "#Communism".

#Muni / Mana/ of #Ruschism in several words:

#Weakness masquerading as strength (eg Putin posing with a double-anaesthetised #Leopard who dies after this shoot).

One governance mode: #Autocratic / #Terror / #Ultraviolence / #Falsification / Nonsense espousal / #Subjection.

Primitive fascination with bogus anniversaries.

Racism.

Ultra #Misogyny.

Urgently need mass education about #Ruschism in the West:

"Another brutal crime committed by #Soviet soldiers at the war’s end was the rape of #Jewish #women survivors of concentration camps, inclu #Stutthof, #Ravensbrück and #Auschwitz-Birkenau... This archive, one of many that house the testimonies of #Holocaust survivors, contains more than 500 references to sexual assaults at liberation, mostly by the #SovietMilitary."

My heart aches for the good people of #Vilniansk and for little two-day-old Serhii's grieving parents and family.

The senselessness and barbarity of #Ruschism is perfectly visible in #Ruschists' purposeful bombing of a hospital last week.

I spoke many times to the elected head of Vilniansk during the pandemic - I know how much the community invested into its now senselessly bombed hospital.

"Daily life depends on leadership, and so much of the work falls on Mandrych. She sleeps only three to four hours a night. Whenever she gets to go home to her husband and adult son, they live in a basement.

“It’s a good thing my mother taught me to be tough,” she said. “We will relax after we win the war.”

Raised by a widow, Mandrych has spent her whole life in Orikhiv, studying in the town’s now-destroyed school and working for the government since she was 17..."

"Most of the day, its streets are practically empty; residents spend most hours underground or near a bunker, emerging only to seek humanitarian aid in the mornings, before 11 a.m., when the shelling usually subsides.

There is no power, water or gas in the town. There’s no longer a hospital or ambulance in the town. Residents must rely on the military to rush them to a field hospital when missiles — or illnesses — strike...."

But then he paused. His lip started quivering. He turned away.
“My nephew was just killed on the front line,” he said, his voice filled with anguish. “This war....” he said, eyes locked on the road.
He never finished his sentence.

"Serhiy Motrych, a medical examiner with 28 years’ experience, has seen many dead people. On Monday, after hauling decomposing remains from the grave and laying the pieces on sheets of clear plastic, he sat in the front seat of his car, staring straight ahead. “I’ve been doing this so long I don’t feel any emotion,” he said.
But then he paused. His lip started quivering. He turned away..."

"“I knew it would be hard but I wasn’t prepared for this,” said Serhiy Rebizhenko, a handyman who had been drafted by village elders to dig out the common grave. “I knew these people. I had just joked with them. And now look at them.”
Even veteran police officers seemed shaken. They catalogued the body parts, barely saying a word. Their eyes lingered on the skulls..."

"For the next six months, the Russians dug into Pravdyne. They cut trenches along the irrigation canals. They made foxholes along the road. They built concrete-reinforced bunkers that turned this little farm town into a fortress.
Ukrainian commanders have said that they lost hundreds of men in waves of assaults trying to take Pravdyne...."

"In Pravdyne, Mr. Sikoza said he begged the Russian soldiers to allow him to bury the dead. They refused. So many people had fled the village that abandoned dogs roamed the roads. They found the bodies and began ripping them apart.
Mr. Sikza begged again. Finally, after five weeks, the soldiers allowed him to prepare a grave for six of the security guards; he could not find the body of the seventh and the young woman’s family buried her separately...."

#Ruschism: Coalition of #Russians who rely on an imaginary West to rescue them from funks of their own making.

Putin hoped mid-terms would rescue him from #Kherson & #Ukraine debacle. Now, "liberal" #Ruschists who've colluded in occupation of 🇺🇦 since Mar 2014 want Marshall Plan🤦🏽‍♀️

Distinguish between Russians, & Ruschists?

Show me receipts from your last 8 years opposing Ruschia's occupation of 🇺🇦? The persecution 1.5m IDP Ukrainians who fled their homes March-June 2014.

OKar here fails.

"#Imperial #pride is the subject of recovery of totalitarianism by the 🇷🇺 state & 🇷🇺 society & a constant readiness to attack foundations of #world system...

"This circle will not be terminated until the world condemnation of - #Ruschism/#Putinism; awareness of real, & not fictional chekists of the history of 🇷🇺; Resetting mental settings of the 🇷🇺 people; Atonement of crimes against humanity, 🇺🇦 & #Ukrainians..." 15/15

@robertfarrell What "stuff"?🤷🏽‍♀️

Should you chose to (though I wouldn't advise it), you can watch the videos.

President #Zelenskyy is a 100% reliable source.

What he says in his nightly updates is cross-checked multiple times and very carefully worded - he's a lawyer by training.

(Un)Lucky for #Ukraine the awfulness of #Ruschism needs no exaggeration.

If you want to dip your toe in, I can recommend this thread: https://twitter.com/decodingtrolls/status/1511078468745900046?s=46&t=OXzKZPmN9ryO3ohBUBPhGg

What is #NAFO?

Countering #Ruschism, in every arena. Every day.
