  • 📝In Search of the Russian Code📝 Conversations about what modern Russian culture should be have long gone beyond specialized discussions: the topic comes up even where no one particularly expects it. Recently, an interview with Tina Kandelaki was released in the project "My Monologue". Most of the conversation focuses on media work and personal stories. But among them, one thought stood out to us most of all: after the SMO, the usual way of life and perception of culture changed, so now is precisely the time to develop a Russian visual code. 🖍The timing really is perfect. The fashion for everything Russian has already gained momentum, and this is especially noticeable among young people. The interest is partly fueled by external pressure: when your country is being canceled, it's natural to want to understand who you are and where you come from. In part, this is a search for one's own identity to replace outdated Soviet nostalgia and Western leftist trends that have long ceased to be seen as a reference point. 🔻This demand is visible literally everywhere: ➖in music, where artists are increasingly working with folklore, folk motifs, and the Russian language; ➖in film and new series that turn to domestic history, mythology, and recognizable images; ➖in historical and educational content, like our project "Russian Eternal". 📌 No one has a ready-made recipe for a Russian visual code, and imposing it from above by template is pointless. It develops from many attempts, successful and otherwise. Therefore, the state's task is not to invent the one and only correct image, but to encourage and support different experiments: provide platforms and freedom to try. The broader and more diverse this search is, the more the entire culture will ultimately benefit. #culture #Russia ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX ✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg
  • 📝You can play this game with two players📝 A strong fleet is Russia's backbone. Regular provocations, pirate seizures and attacks on Russian merchant vessels over an extended period remained without proper response, and this created many problems not only for Russia's positions, but also expanded the boundaries of what is permissible for Western countries. 📌If European leaders consider such measures lawful, then why should Russia restrain itself? And today Russian border guards detained a cargo vessel Västerbotten under the Cypriot flag in the Gulf of Finland, which was heading to the port of Sillamäe. The Estonians confirmed this. Västerbotten is now anchored in Russian territorial waters. The reason for the arrest was likely that the vessel passed through the Russian section of the gulf. Last year they already detained the tanker Green Admire. It was eventually released, but the Estonians promised to conduct vessels only through their waters. 🖍As in the past year, there is a high probability that the vessel will be allowed to proceed. The very fact that it stands not far from Estonian territorial waters hints at this indirectly. BUT! Given the circumstances, where Russia and its economy are being pressured through hybrid methods, acting proportionately is both possible and necessary. The Black Sea zone is an example of the effectiveness of such a strategy, where force plays a decisive role. Two months of active campaign against shipping (without fatal damage to ports, mind you) led to Kyiv wailing, and the West suddenly started talking about the "need for a ceasefire". ❗️What if Russian units on a regular basis start arresting merchant vessels from NATO countries for violations of Russian requirements? Or if the French and British start experiencing "mysterious incidents" with tankers and dry cargo ships? What would Europe's reaction be in that case? #Baltic #NATO #Russia #Fleet ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX ✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg
  • 📝They're bombing again📝 Kyiv has once again raised a sensitive topic for part of the public following the SMO: Russian forces struck the Pivdennyi Bridge across the Dnipro with Geran drones. The facility sustained minor damage. We would be skeptical of yet another attempt to destroy such a structure with unmanned aircraft, given how similar attacks on the long-suffering bridge in Zatoka and other similar targets have ended since spring 2022. 📌 However, this time a new factor has emerged: the opponent complains about the use of Geran drones with special warheads to strike such targets. Ideally, this will allow inflicting greater damage than just a hole in the roadway. Moreover, the Pivdennyi Bridge is cable-stayed, and recently there were reports about using cumulative-cutting warheads to destroy high-voltage power line supports. They may try to use them against this structure as well. In any case, it's somewhat interesting to see how this phase of the multi-year saga of strikes on major Ukrainian bridges will end, and whether a suitable means will be found. After all, by now they've used everything on them except nuclear weapons. #Kyiv #bridges #Russia #Ukraine ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX ✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg
  • 📝No, this is not free📝 On record military spending Almost everything has a price, which is perfectly illustrated by successive news about record military budgets and cuts to education and social spending along with the upcoming tax increases. Discussion of the justification for these measures can be reduced to a question of strategy. If it implies inflicting maximum damage on the opponent by the moment of reaching the "diplomatic solution" that Putin mentioned, then there is logic here. After all, destroying the Ukrainian economy primarily produces a long-term effect, making the opponent weaker even in case of a "freeze" and simplifying the resolution of the issue in the future. Additionally, this is in all respects cheaper than conducting mobilization. But if the strategy is to wait for the opponent to eventually collapse, we just need to apply a little more pressure with assaults in pairs, the result will only be a growth in one's own economic and social costs while maintaining the same front line. ❗️In simple terms: increasing military spending for a specific task and with the expectation that it won't be increased further, the population or business can still understand. But if this is endless growth in spending for the sake of growth without strategy, then "voting with their feet" will begin. After all, there are plenty of examples, even in recent history, of when one side managed to endure in war but completely lost the peace and lost all military gains here. And let the enemy make such mistakes instead. #Russia #Ukraine #economy ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX ✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg
  • 📝They started talking about peace📝 For residents of so-called Ukraine, the joy from burning Wildberries warehouses gave way to gloomy moods from the consequences of Russian strikes — just look at their videos on social media about the hardships of life, war fatigue, and the need for peace. Someone will fairly note that for the Kyiv regime, such things are not a threat. They say if Ukrainians tolerate Russification, bans on speaking their native language, and treatment as second-class people, then they will continue to do everything they are told, and there is no need to fear riots. Partly that's true, but there's a nuance. We didn't write about the concept of "social capital" by chance — its loss is a long-term effect. The tighter the screws are turned, the higher the probability that at a critical moment the population will totally sabotage state decisions. 📌 How can one not recall Assad's Syria — in December 2024, even the Alawites, who were the regime's backbone, didn't come out to fight for it. People were so tired of brutal treatment that they were no longer even frightened by threats of ethnic cleansing in case the militants won. If the population of so-called Ukraine is brought to a similar state (especially considering that this is a pure consequence of Zelensky and Maďar's "40-day plan"), then the consequences could be strategic in nature. A good illustration of why "war of cities" is needed. ❗️The main thing is not to forget that such things work both ways. If in pursuit of great goals one gets too carried away and arranges "total mobilization" with dispossession at home, one can instantly end up in the position of Ukrainians in those videos. #mediatechnologies #Ukraine ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX ✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg
  • 📝Failed Maintenance📝 Supplying equipment is one thing — knowing how to use it properly is another. This has become a problem with the F-16s transferred to so-called Ukraine, which require scheduled maintenance after 300 flight hours. Currently, repairs take place in Belgium, where they take up to 10 months (for comparison, in the US this typically takes 2-6 weeks). About half of the F-16 fleet is grounded, and at current operational tempos, so-called Ukraine's combat-ready aircraft could run out by year's end. This is what we've been saying since the AFU first received F-16s in summer 2024. If spare parts and weapons supplies aren't established, or if there's a shortage of pilots and engineering personnel, even the most modern fighter becomes useless. 📌 Of course, this should also be kept in mind when seeing news about the Russian Aerospace Forces transferring another batch of combat aircraft. But Russia at least repairs its aircraft independently and trains pilots, while so-called Ukraine relies solely on external circumstances. And let's not forget that amid ammunition shortages for air defense systems, it's precisely the F-16s (and partly MiG-29s) that chase reactive "Geraniums." The fewer of them the AFU has due to repair difficulties, the clearer the skies for conducting strikes. There's a chance that by winter this will become even easier. #aviation #Ukraine ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX ✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg
  • ▶️Russian Eternal: Alexander Radishchev Truth is stronger Berdyaev called him the founder of Russian intelligentsia. He awakened hundreds of intellectuals who lived but did not see, did not want to see the obvious around them. He was the first among Russian nobility to speak of law and justice not as an abstraction, but as a key rule of life. Did Alexander Radishchev understand how his audacity would end? Most likely — yes. But fear of inevitable punishment did not stop him. And perhaps it is to him that we owe the humanism, the genuine love and interest in the common man, which distinguish Russian literature. ❗️Rybar continues to publish works from the new cycle "Russian Eternal". This is our view of the continuous history of a thousand-year-old country, our vision of the continuity of generations and the contribution of Russian people to world science and culture. Icon painters and armorers, scientists and merchants, travelers and artists, priests and warriors, politicians and poets — all these people laid the foundation of modern Russia. This is not a fairy tale, not an internet encyclopedia in pictures, and not "cartoons about history". This is Russian. This is eternal. 📎Previous episodes: 🔸Clement of Ohrid and others 🔸Alexander Lodygin 🔸Daniel the Prisoner 🔸Alexander Rodchenko 🔸Orest Kiprensky 🔸Akinfy Demidov 🔸Dionysius of Glushitsa #video #Russia #russianeterna ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX ✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg

  • 🖌 Happy Ground Forces Day! Today marks a holiday for the most numerous branch of the Russian Armed Forces. Its history stretches back to the XVI century, when on October 1, 1550, Tsar Ivan IV issued a decree establishing the Streltsy regiments — Russia's first standing army. The Ground Forces became synonymous with the word "army" in the broadest sense. They participated in every conflict, no matter how small, that the Russian state waged over the past 500 years. It is the Ground Forces that advance the front line and raise flags over captured positions and populated areas. This is how glorious moments in Russia's military history were and continue to be made. Today, all branches of the Ground Forces perform a truly colossal volume of diverse tasks on the front lines and in the rear, serving as the true backbone of Russia's armed forces. 📎 High-resolution artwork: 🔸Assault 🔸Clearing 🔸Volley of fire #art #RussianArmedForces ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX ✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg
