USSR: Debunking the False Idea of a Late-1930s Anti-Chinese Purge! (13.10.2026)

The message is this – the workers do not possess the ability (or right) to rule themselves. This idea is routinely hurled at Communist China on a daily basis by Western racists – my partner is subjected to it in her workplace and my daughters in their school. For the ethnic Chinese the problem is two-fold – they are the wrong “race” and the wrong “class” – a double-whammy. During the UK, US, and German invasion of Revolutionary Russia between 1918-1921 (a process of unbridled aggression that involved around 20-countries – which killed 10.5 million Russians) – Nationalist China sided with the West and sent troops to the Chinese border with Russia (Vladivostok). Indeed, following the 1917 Revolution – the conditions for Chinese workers living in Russia improved dramatically – with many workers returning to China carrying Socialist ideas (Lenin even had a personal bodyguard comprised of Chinese martial artists).

St Michael's Cathedral was destroyed during the Coventry Blitz, in which 554 people were killed

UK: Coventry Cathedral – WWII Ruin – Reconstruction Drive! (30.9.2026)

My paternal grandmother – Gladys Wyles – would tell us stories about how she lived in Leicester during WWII. She remembered the bombing of nearby Coventry and how the Luftwaffe pilots came down on parachutes amongst the streets. Many were so polite and smart that the UK government permitted them to roam freely around the city carrying-out various aspects of rescue and reconstruction work. Many were glad to be out of the war – but considering how many British were killed in their bombing-raids – it is interesting that such POWs were not routinely attacked out of revenge. I have never visited Coventry.

Private Alfred Gregory Wyles

UK: My Grandfather’s WWII PTSD – the Cost of Our Freedom! (9.5.2026)

He trained alongside the Glider-Landed Troops – trained to sit 30 to a wooden glider (a platoon) and crash-land on a military target before deploying (if surviving). Alfred either landed on Sword Beach in the first landing-boats and fought his way (ten-miles) in-land to relieve the British Glider Troops landed in Caen – or he landed in Caen with the Glider Troops and tried to hold the area until relieved by the British Army. Either way (we are not exactly sure – but must assume the former) the German resistance was so intense the first-wave Units were decimated and many of the early objectives were not achieved. My grandfather, when talking about his experiences many years later, described how he had to kill many people as he moved through the French and German countryside. He would fight his way to Hamburg before he was granted rest and leave. It was this killing that negatively affected him psychologically. Indeed, there hundreds of thousands of men in the UK who had to re-integrate into British society and pretend nothing had happened.

UK: Soviet T-34/76 & T-34/85 Model Tank! (1.5.2036)

Interestingly, the plastic model mimics the metal kits that used to arrive in the factories in Stalingrad to be constructed by the workers – which included Disabled people. Tank crews would often train on wooden models and wait by the factory doors for each new tank to appear. These brave men and women would then drive directly to the frontline to confront the Nazi Germans. We will paint these models and add scenery and Soviet Red Army soldiers.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov

Russia: Lavrov – Europe is Trying to Give Nazism an “Acceptable Look”! (20.2.2026)

Lavrov stressed that “preserving the memory of the fight against Nazism is especially important to prevent the revival of misanthropic ideology in any formats, in any manifestations.” The minister recalled that 2026 marks the 80th anniversary of the completion of the Nuremberg Tribunal, “at which history issued a final, irrevocable verdict to the war criminals of the Third Reich guilty of genocide of the peoples of the former Soviet Union.”

Netherlands: US Removal of Panels Honouring Black Soldiers Housed at WWII Dutch Cemetery Draws Backlash! (31.12.2025)

After months of mystery around the disappearance of the panels, two media organizations — the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) and online media Dutch News — this month published emails obtained through a U.S. Freedom of Information Act request showing that Trump’s DEI policies directly prompted the commission to take down the panels.

The White House did not respond to queries from AP about the removed panels.

The American Battle Monuments Commission did not respond to queries from AP about the revelations. Earlier, the ABMC told the AP that the panel that discussed segregation “did not fall within (the) commemorative mission.”
