Email: Russia Explains “Why” the Collective West is Economically Suffering! (15.4.2025)

15/04/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

However, Biden’s policy has back-fired as the poverty and suffering did not remain only in Europe but has spread to the US – whilst the intended victim – Russia – simply redirected its economic alliances elsewhere, with its economy now booming. Russia has basically reinvigorated its old Soviet alliances – despite rejecting them after 1991. Russia has also cosied-up to China. The problem the US has – is that it has nowhere to go – except down. There are no alternative alliances – it is domination or collapse. Trump’s tariffs are exactly the wrong policy as the US is losing dominance and other countries are following the example of Russia!

Eire: Statement by the Embassy of Russia Calls-Out Irish Hypocrisy! (4.14.2025)

According to the official information provided by the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation the Russian forces on April 13, 2025, have carried out a strike by two “Iskander” missiles against the location of the meeting of the Ukrainian “Seversk” Task Force commanders with their Western military “advisers”. The target has been successfully hit. The Ministry noted that Russian forces never target civilian population or sites and emphasized that Kiev continues, in contravention to the International humanitarian law, to use civilians as human shield by carrying out military actions in the midst of the densely populated areas.

We suggest that the West, whose military directly guides Kiev’s constant attacks against Russian people in the Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Zaporozhye, Kursk, Belgorod, Bryansk regions and elsewhere in Russia, will be better off by using their moral fervor to stop this criminal activity. As to the Tánaiste’s point about “seeking peace” we believe that the Irish government along with its EU partners has long ago lost any credibility in the context of the political settlement in Ukraine by supporting proxy war against Russia.

Inner Mongolia: China’s Most Remote Tengger Desert Post Office [沙漠邮局]! (14.4.2025)

“There are some things that a person must experience in the process of growing up, and as people we may have to suffer individual losses, suffer a little here and there, and take a detour – perhaps to better places. When in a state of crying and breaking down, if students could receive a handwritten postcard from the depths of the desert, it would be an expression of warmth and companionship that we can give.”

China: Support for Rural “Left-Behind” Women [and Disabled] Intensified! (13.04.2025)

It encourages their involvement in care services for left-behind children, elderly care and support for people with disabilities.

The working plan also calls for assistance to rural left-behind women with disabilities or financial difficulties and their families, while supporting charitable organizations in launching targeted public welfare initiatives.

In addition, the state departments would strengthen the protection of rural left-behind women’s legal rights, work to prevent discrimination and domestic violence, and expand access to healthcare services for this population, according to the working plan.

Rural left-behind women are defined as those who remain in rural areas while their husbands work away from home for more than six months.

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

13/04/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

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.

April 11th - Remember Nazi German Barbarity!

WWII: When the Soviet Red Army Liberated Nazi German & Finnish Concentration Camps! (12.4.2025)

12/04/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

The Nazis created the entire system, designed to… efficiently dispose of and exterminate people of ‘undesirable’ ethnicities, social views and those who opposed them — communists, Jews, Slavs, Roma, POWs, members of Resistance movements. This Nazi lethal & inhumane machine comprised massive network of concentration and death camps established in Germany & occupied territories. Millions of prisoners from the Soviet Union and European countries were kept there in horrible, inhuman conditions. There were over 20 million prisoners from 30 countries held captives in those camps, including about 5 million Soviet citizens. In 1946, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg declared the creation of such camps not only as a war crime but also as a crime against humanity.
