Yuri Gagarin Monument - UK!

USSR: Yuri Gagarin – “AD 1961” – First Man in Space! (13.4.2025)

Yet one of the most unexpected tributes to the first cosmonaut lies far from space museums or bustling capitals — on the windswept Orkney Islands, off the north coast of Scotland.

Here, just steps from the Neolithic village of Skara Brae – a UNESCO World Heritage Site inhabited over 5,000 years ago – stands a carved stone that simply reads: “First Man in Space, AD 1961”. Nestled among markers of human milestones, it honours Gagarin’s place in our shared journey — from ancient stargazers to modern explorers.

This is a quiet reminder that Gagarin’s reach extends far beyond Earth’s orbit — and even beyond the expected.

💐 Recently Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin and Russian Consul General in Edinburgh Denis Moskalenko laid flowers at the site, paying tribute to the first man in space.

Reistance to Nazism!

Russia: April 10th Marks “International Day of Resistance Movement” Against Nazism & Fascism! (11.4.2025)

This commemorative day honours the memory of all those who refused to surrender and continued to fight the Nazi evil on the fascists-occupied territories during #WWII.

Participants of the Resistance against Nazi tyranny in Europe were united by a shared objective: to collectively repel Hitler’s aggression. Putting aside the differences, the Resistance movement’s participants stood shoulder to shoulder in their struggle for the freedom and independence of their nations and peoples from fascism.

The Resistance reached its greatest scale in the USSR, Yugoslavia, Italy, Poland, Czechoslovakia, France, Bulgaria, Norway, and the Netherlands – where anti-fascist underground groups, varying in size and efficacy, emerged across Nazi-occupied territories, collaborating with intelligence agencies of the Allies.

Socialist China - Space Science!

China: Lunar Sample Reveals Far-Side Drier Than Near Side! (11.4.2025)

For nearly 20 years, there has been a debate over whether the water content in the Moon’s mantle, the middle layer between its surface and core, is abundant or scarce, while all published estimates were derived from near-side samples.

China’s Chang’e-6 lunar probe retrieved the first-ever lunar far-side samples from the Apollo crater within the South Pole–Aitken Basin, providing the first opportunity to determine the water content of the lunar mantle in this region.

The study revealed that a unique volcanic event dating back 2.8 billion years had not been observed in previous samples obtained from the near side.

UK: Bizarre “Anti-Dog” Green Propaganda Guardian Article – “Not April Fools” – Claims Author! (10.4.2025)

This had nothing to do with dinosaurs farting, or cavemen learning to light fires. The author – Donna Lu – is being slightly naughty here, as she seems to be expressing (or at least aligning her writing) common anti-pet viewpoints held by many Chinese people, equating this with the latest ridiculous excuse for “morally-led” climate change propaganda. Dogs pissing on a lamp-post, or cats burying their crap in the dirt my not be appetising – but I would suggest that there is NO genuine scientific evidence to suggest it does – as this would be agreeing with insanity. Of course, why on earth the Guardian would print an article that is insulting to British sensitivities is bewildering – but then again – the Guardian continuously publishes racially motivated (anti-China) articles all the time, pretending this White racism is “informed opinion”. It is also astonishing that the narrative this writer is presenting suggests the land-mass of Australia – which is so huge it is mostly empty – is experiencing dogs randomly attacking humans! I was going to say you couldn’t make it up – but obviously somebody has!

Journalist Ahmad Mansour was burned alive following an Israeli strike that targeted a journalists’ tent at Nasser Hospital, Khan Younis, in southern Gaza. Several other people were massacred and injured.
