This is a video from Russian Nazi site, where a group of young people agitate Russian White youngsters to fight against the Southerners. Their idea is to liberate Russia from all the people coming from the South and starting their business in Northern Russia cities. Here is the transcript of the video. In brief – the previous video from their site was about the receipt of Molotov cocktail, the bottle that can be lit on and thrown into a target in order to burn in. “First – at an old construction site, testing

the effect of Molotov cocktail. Not bad! Now the business of the Southerner. The shoe repair shop. Use your imagination! Don’t think that somebody else can do this for you! Spend a little money but burn up the Southerner’s property! Just imagine what would happen if everyone of us would throw two cocktails to the Southerners’ properties. You know, every small thing in the fight for Russian Russia can be the decisive factor! Speak less – do more!”

This are photos by Alexandre Korolkov from Russian village “Ustje”. This village is remarkable. It is located on the far north of Russia, it’s much closer to American Alaska than to any major Russian cities. Temperatures there don’t get higher than 30-40 Fahrenheit even in the summer! Four hundred years ago a

group of Russian people flew far away to North in order to avoid death from the Tsar Ivan. They settled there and those people on the photos – direct descendants. They lived 400 years among Russian Eskimos people but didn’t assimilate and saved their traditions and Russian language.

This is a Soviet hymn, recorded by all USSR pop stars right after the USSR collapsed, in 1991. They thought this music and words would be now a part a history, because just a little bit later a new hymn appeared, with another music and words, so all people of Russia thought they are now living in a democratic state, without

traces of Soviet Union. But then a few years later, after the free goverment turned to be not so free, censorship in Mass Media appeared and.... Soviet Hymn was restored. Now, in modern Russia the hymn is being sung on the music of the Soviet hymn. Welcome back to a new USSR - Russian Federation.

There is an opinion that Russian roads was the thing that stopped the German attack in WW2. This might be true. Look how hard was to

There is a hotel right in the centre of Moscow, just a few steps from Kremlin and other administrative buildings. It’s name was “RUSSIA” once. And today the building is being destructed, brick by brick. Why don’t they use a controlled demolition? Some say just because to avoid the dust spreading all over the Moscow downtown, as it was after the demolition of WTC towers (I don’t mean here their demolition was controlled though, as some sources state). Some

people say it is a great pity, they consider this building to be a piece of Moscow history, others think it’s a right decision because the hotel architecture was awful and doesn’t fit to the centre of Moscow. Anyway they removed all the huge signs “RUSSIA” from the hotel, so nobody could capture the photos of how Russia was demolished. What a symbolism. This is how this hotel looked like before, during the Soviet era.
