Russian Defense Ministry opens field kitchen and hospital for refugees in Syria
Russian military personnel established a field kitchen and a field hospital in Jerbin camp near Aleppo city. Refugees from the besieged Shiite villages of Al-Fu’ah and Kafriya can now receive food and medical care.
“The Army norm is 250 grams per person. But we give much more here. We are aware of the situation these people are facing. [We want them] to feel our warm attitude and hospitality”, said chief cook Denis Smirnov.
“There are many shrapnel wounds, there are many postoperative wound infections. Many people come with fractures, there is much pathology”, said military physician Stanislav Gitkis.
The Donbass Republican Arena
Among other things, he showed us the sites of damage as the stadium had been damaged twice over the war. In the August of 2014 artillery riddled its walls and shelled out several big thick windows. Then, in the October of the same year, a shock wave from an OTR-21 Tochka-U*, which landed in the outskirts of Donetsk, blew out a whole block of windows.
On the field itself, the lawn is under repair as it wasn’t heated throughout the war. Now, it is watered and lit with special lamps. According to the new manager of the arena, Oleg Kovalchuk, the lawn will be ready in 4 to 6 weeks.
After all the necessary preparations, the stadium, which can host up to nearly 53 thousand spectators, will once again welcome athletes. It will also become a venue for various concerts and festivals for the residents of Donetsk.
RVS (All-Russian Parents’ Resistance organization) Expert: Child adoption and foster care has become a lucrative and dangerous business
The attorney drew attention to the fact that the institution of paid family care, widely introduced recently in Russia, has existed in the United States for a long time, and it has showed a number of fundamental shortcomings. For example, children raised in the foster care system “tend to experience enormous difficulties in socialization, because they have an extremely low level of education, and they lack necessary skills”. The same has been observed in Russia: children raised by paid parents “experience enormous difficulties at the workplace and in family life” due to the fact, that their social skills were formed in a family run as a for profit institution, and not as in a true family, argued Barsukov.
The human rights activist stressed that the All-Russian Parents’ Resistance organization (Russian: RVS) does not in any way oppose foster parents and foster families as such; the organization provides them with appropriate assistance, when necessary. The All-Russian Parents’ Resistance organization (Russian: RVS) acts only “against the preferential treatment of paid care systems at the expense of the legitimate interests of the child’s natural relatives.”
Essence of Time. Chapter 3
There are these three regions:
Region #1: The Great Far East, Modernity
Region #2: The Great West, Postmodernity
Region #3: The Great South, or Counter-Modernity
The Great Far East is developing rapidly, and it will challenge the might of the United States. No one will ever dare to wage a direct nuclear war against China. “Team B-2”, led by Wolfowitz, discussed this, and it said that the deadline for waging such a war was 2017. The only possible decision will likely be made: to throw the entire might of The Great South against this Great Far East.
Now tell me frankly and in all honesty: where is the place for Russia here?
Ukrainian military continues to conduct the provocative shelling of DPR
The Ukrainian military opened fire on the towns and villages of DPR along the contact line with mortars, the weapons of infantry fighting vehicle, grenade launchers, and small arms. The tensest situation is observed in the area of Zaytsevo in the north of Gorlovka, in Avdeevka industrial zone, near the village of Spartak, and in the area of the former Donetsk airport, as well as in the south of DPR.
DPR PM intelligence informs that the Ukrainian army Command is preparing offensive along the Mariupol direction. A provocation is expected to take place in the area of Shirokino in the south of DPR. The Ukrainian saboteurs are expected to open fire on the Ukrainian army’s dummy positions that will be used as a pretext to accuse DPR of ceasefire violation.
Kurginyan: We must take what belongs to our future from Lenin
During the broadcast, which discussed the attitude of Russian society toward Lenin, Sergey Kurginyan cited China as a positive example, where the official state policy is no longer as it was in the early years of the existence of communist China. However, the remains of Mao Zedong still rest in the mausoleum, and Mao’s ideas continue to be revered. A similar situation exists in Vietnam, where historical continuity and the memory of Ho Chi Minh is carefully preserved. Sergey Kurginyan gave also a few examples when prominent Western intellectuals, who were not Communists, had called to take a number of communist Russia’s ideas to save the West, as for example “George Bernard Shaw who said Western civilization will perish if it does not take something from there from Communism. Please note, he did not say, ‘let us seize everything, and start shooting’, and so on. Then Thomas Mann added that money is meant for production, production is meant for Man, and Man is meant for the ideal.”
According to Sergey Kurginyan, the key idea that Communists have tried to uphold was and still is “the unchaining and awakening of the higher creative abilities in every person.” “If humanity misses the great chance to receive this creative impetus, which does not exist in the classical bourgeois civilization, another 50 years may pass, and then a very large part of humanity may become unneeded”, said Kurginyan.
Kurginyan: Lenin was a person with very powerful dreams
According to Sergey Kurginyan, a division in Russian society between the revolutionary democratic intelligentsia and the government after the Balkan wars reinvigorated the dream of the Russian revolutionary intelligentsia for a great Russia, “Because that intelligentsia said,‘Well, you have failed! And then you failed again in the war against Japan; you cannot even defeat the Japanese… Then we will go another way!’ It became clear that the patriotic revolutionary intelligentsia was dreaming about the second top position in the world instead of the fifth.” Kurginyan emphasized the severity of the situation that was forming in the pre-revolutionary Russia, “In the 1880s we had terrific growth; but by 1900, we had a collapse followed by a more slowing, ending up with a stable 5% of the world GDP.”
The existing model of state allowed a stable level of 5% of the gross world product, and the country began to fall behind in per capita income, Kurginyan explained, “And Lenin felt that. It would be strange to believe that this nobleman with an acute sense of “Russianness” (which is in no way mutually exclusive with seeing global problems) did not desire a higher global position for Russia. Even when the socialist-revolutionary party raised a revolt, he sent troops and resources to build power plants! He was a man with very powerful dreams who indeed founded a state which later became the second superpower, which means it became sovereign; it won the war.”
City of Perm Commissioner for Children's Rights approves discrimination of children without a father
In support of his position for discriminating against children without fathers, Mikov said, “At least it will make young mothers today think about whom they join their lives with, what kind of man they want to marry or have a child with. If she met an irresponsible man, then sorry, this is her choice, and the state should not have to support these negative social phenomena. This is our principled position.” When journalists asked what women who became pregnant as a result of rape should do, Pavel Mikov hung up the phone.
Spanish expert: Roots of forced foster care system lay in fascist organizations
An investigation has made it possible to conclude that the roots of the Spanish system of forced foster care come from fascist organizations. Such a conclusion emerges from factual data provided by members of the Spanish anti-child-trafficking movement “Turquoise Wave” (Spanish: Marea Turquesa), Spanish human rights activist Vera Rodionova stated in her speech during the Third Congress of the All-Russian Parents’ Resistance organization. That is reported by Rossa Primavera News Agency reporter today, on April 15th.
The human rights activist highlighted the link of the forced foster care system with a number of international organizations, representatives of which (Nazi criminals, who managed to hide from justice) had created mechanisms for sexual and other exploitation of children half a century ago.
“One such organization was the “Organization of Former SS Members”, (ODESSA). The aim of the group was to help former SS members avoid prosecution, smuggling them to other countries and continents. For example, in Africa and Latin America”, said Rodionova.
The human rights activist stressed that many organizations currently operating in Spain have similarities with the above-mentioned structure. These organizations can only be closed with the help of the anti-child-trafficking movement of parents’ organizations, which provides witness testimony of what is going on there.
