Today is the Centennial Celebration of Lenin's Death (Russian Tsar, not John)

Inspired by hearing this from someone recently emigrated from Russia, noting this day being historical, and sharing a post applauding (Murdoch's) _Wall Street Journal_f or mentioning it, but adding that it missed a bit of history, and/or geography,

David Satter posted on January 19. So where did the irreparable happen? Everyone knows - in Gorky (Leninsky). But David Satter demonstrates false erudition - he clarifies: "The first leader of the Soviet Union died on Jan. 21, 1924, in Gorki, Russia (now called Nizhny Novgorod), after repeated strokes."

So, in the spirit of the day, and a nod to #history... and to the one who made it possible for me to take a few relevant photos.

Спасибо / Thank you. I was lucky to have a chance to see Moscow in pleasant times, Sochi Olympics, good times. (2014!) 10 yrs.

The title link leads to my Lenin page of #photography .

But for anyone who "comes here for the music", OK, here goes, in sync with today, but from the other Lennon, John.

Back in the USSR 🎶

I do hope the good people I celebrated with then, but who are suffering now, do find sunshine again, soon.

Russian air defense sufficient on front lines, in Crimea but not on Russian soil

"Russian air defense is thinning out. They filled the front line and Crimea with it (air defense). But you see that the Russian territory is not so filled with air defense equipment," Ihnat told Focus's journalist.

"Moscow, Saint Petersburg, (Russian dictator Vladimir) Putin's bunkers will be more or less protected, but Ukrainian-made drones reach Moscow, St. Petersburg, and oil depots in other cities. This is a very good sign."

Reports of drone attacks against military targets on Russian soil have increased in recent months. Kyiv usually doesn't officially comment on such strikes.

Poland tightens mobilization law - Rzeczpospolita.

According to the new law, during war or mobilization, all draft dodgers will face at least 5 years in prison. The mobilized person must appear no later than within six hours from the receipt of the summons marked “immediately.”

Military conscription of 230,000 people will soon begin in Poland. Men born in 2005 are already eligible for the prize.

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has actually confirmed information that he influenced the Ukrainian government's decision to break off peace talks in the spring of 2022.

Johnson said that after the meeting of representatives of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul in 2022, he held talks with Ukrainian President #Zelensky, during which he expressed his concern about the possibility of an agreement between #Moscow and #Kiev.

According to Johnson, he also stressed that the UK was "a thousand per cent" ready to help Ukraine.

Interestingly, in the same interview, the former Prime Minister said that he had nothing to do with the disruption of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in spring 2022.

Johnson said he thought the information about his involvement was "complete nonsense" and "Russian propaganda".

Ischinger calls for more robust response from the West to #Russia’s crimes
BY ORYSIA HRUDKA

..."Wolfgang Ischinger, the former Chief of the Munich Security Conference, has taken a bold stance, urging a shift from a reactive to an active strategy. Ischinger proposes issuing an ultimatum to #Moscow, signaling that in the event of further attacks on civilian targets in #Ukraine, Taurus cruise missiles would be delivered to Ukraine the following day.

Ischinger’s proposal, shared on the online platform X (formerly Twitter), emphasizes the need for a stronger and more assertive approach by the Western nations. He questions the current reactive stance toward Moscow, labeling it as a flawed strategy. The suggestion of delivering Taurus cruise missiles is not entirely new, as similar calls have been made by factions within the Ampel coalition in Germany. However, the German government has thus far refrained from providing Ukraine with these long-range missiles, which have a range of over 500 kilometers, potentially enabling strikes on weapon depots and supply lines within Russian territory.

Simultaneously, Rüdiger von Fritsch, the former German Ambassador to Russia, echoes Ischinger’s sentiment, advocating for increased engagement in supporting Ukraine. Fritsch issues a stark warning about the potential consequences if Russia emerges victorious in the ongoing war. "...

Newsweek

The #Pentagon announced late last month that it would seek to make a new variant of the #B61 nuclear gravity bomb – the B61-13 – pending authorization by Congress. The weapon would have an estimated 360-kiloton yield, which is 24 times more powerful than the one dropped on #Hiroshima during World War II.
The nuclear bomb planned for development has the potential to level central #Moscow and kill more than 300,000 of its 13 million inhabitants.

The United States and #Russia presented two separate resolutions in the #UN Security Council on the war in #Gaza in which they first condemned the actions carried out by #Hamas.

The #US resolution obtained the double veto of Russia and #China, among other reasons, by not requesting an immediate and lasting humanitarian #ceasefire, while the Russian resolution, which did not recognize the right to self-defense of States, did not achieve the necessary votes.

The American document reaffirmed “the inherent right of all States to individual and collective self-defense,” although taking into account “international law.” It also called for “humanitarian pauses,” to allow full, rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian access.

The Russian resolution called for “an immediate, lasting and fully respected humanitarian ceasefire.”
This resolution also “unequivocally condemned the indiscriminate attacks against civilians and civilian objects in the Gaza Strip that resulted in civilian casualties,” including “the atrocious attack on Al-Ahli #Hospital on October 17” and the perpetrated “against the Orthodox #Church of Saint Porphyry” on October 19.
#Moscow also condemned the siege of the Strip imposed by Israel.

“the inherent right of all States to individual and collective self-defense,”

What a joke. Like if Iran, Lebanon and Syria have such rights!

In #Kazakhstan, the #NATO Centre for Peacekeeping Operations has recently commenced its activities, graced by the presence of the #US Ambassador to Kazakhstan, Daniel Rosenblum, at the opening ceremony.

Kazakh military personnel are set to undergo training at the centre, aligning with NATO standards. In contrast to former president #Nazarbayev’s cautious approach, Tokayev appears to be moving quickly. The rationale behind his decision to delve into NATO standards remains enigmatic. However, it appears he perceives #Moscow's waning influence in the post-Soviet arena and aims to capitalise on this evolving situation.

Considering the criteria defining the adversaries within NATO standards and drawing lessons from the Ukrainian conflict, it becomes evident that an increased NATO presence always escalates tensions in the region. It's noteworthy that the Russia-Kazakhstan border spans a vast 7,600 km. Of Kazakhstan's 19 million inhabitants, 13 million are Kazakh and the rest are mainly of Russian cultural background.

It is also worth noting that Kazakhstan and NATO have continued to co-operate under the Partnership for Peace Initiative and the so-called bilateral military cooperation programme established in 1994.

The Polish Prime Minister:

“I want to tell ... #Zelensky that he never again insults Poles as he did recently during his speech at the #UN. "The Poles will never allow it."

And Zelensky recently said in reference to the restrictions imposed on grain by #Warsaw:

It is "alarming to see how some in #Europe... are helping to set the stage for an actor from #Moscow."

#Russia has barred the export of #diesel and #petrol as crude oil prices rise towards $100 a barrel, marking a significant escalation that will raise fears #Moscow is weaponising oil supplies in retaliation for western sanctions.

The article make it sounds like Russia is the only supplier of oil and controls the oil market with their small share.

But hey, it is the season to blame everything on Russia and even a story about Russians problem with supplying gasoline and petrol for domestic use because of recent "accidents" in various parts of the country.

Ukrainian president, Vladimir #Zelenskyy accuses #Poland of "helping #Russia" in his #UN address at the Sustainable Development Goals Summit.

Russia has blocked our Black and #Azov sea ports and continues to target our Danube ports with missiles and drones. It tries to weaponize global food shortages in exchange for recognition of some, if not all, of the captured territories. Russia is launching food prices as weapons.

We opened a temporary sea export corridor. We’re working to preserve land routes. Alarmingly, some in #Europe play out solidarity in a political theater—turning grain into a thriller. They may seem to play their own roles. In fact they’re helping set the stage for a #Moscow actor.
