What they conveniently forgot to mention is that the country is ruled by a former #KGB spy—and so is its #Orthodox Church.

Five of the new arrivals were told to visit restaurants, museums, galleries and hotels and find opposition-minded Czechs. If necessary they could pay for useful political information, gently hinting that the money might be coming from western intelligence.

Some were tasked with befriending Czech newspaper editors and goading them into printing anti-Soviet statements to further escalate tensions. Others buried a fake cache of American weapons to “prove” that the reform movement was backed by the United States.

The most chilling testimony I have read from the Soviet times. Not for the level of cruelty (even “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” is enough for that), but in the level of hopelessness of his situation. You cannot imagine the true depths of hell until you are there.

Massiver Anstieg von #Antisemitismus in #Russland

» Putin wird vom virulenten Hass gegen "die Juden" in der ukrainischen Führung getrieben, die seine geopolitischen Ambitionen durchkreuzt haben und für ihr Land entschlossen kämpfen. Hinzu kommen judenfeindliche Ressentiments in der russischen Gesellschaft, die Moskau noch gezielt zu schüren versucht «

I worked for #TelosFederalSystems at age 16 as an apprentice in the cold war.

In year 2025, a lot of cold war experienced people are sitting by while people LOL and mock at Putin's Kremlin. People in USA have no comprehension that #Putin worked in #Germany for the #KGB before the wall fell down. Putin has been at the top for over 25 years. The USA is wrecked intellectually and doesn't even understand how.

Auch hier auf #Mastodon wird gepostet, #Trump sei einst als #Krasnov vom #KGB angeheuert worden. Wie schätzt Du das ein: Ist das noch eine empirisch überprüfbare #Verschwörungstheorie oder schon ein dualistischer, feindseliger #Verschwörungsmythos ?
