❗️Russia is on the brink of war with NATO

The deadlock in the Russia–Ukraine conflict, which by now is widely acknowledged, can be resolved in one of two ways: either by admitting the deadlock itself and moving toward some form of ceasefire — or through a new round of escalation.

There are no signs of preparations for a ceasefire, or even a desire to de-escalate — especially from Ukraine and its handlers. On the contrary, everything is being done to drive tensions higher. In Russia, meanwhile, the patriotic public is also demanding ever more insistently and angrily to “hit them hard.” The problem is that everything that could be hit — short of nuclear weapons — has already been hit, and yet nothing has fundamentally changed. Using nuclear weapons would cost Russia more than it would gain. ⚠️

And so Russia is becoming more vulnerable by the day to intensifying strikes, while having fewer and fewer meaningful targets to respond against. Or has something new and vulnerable now appeared?

Today, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service claimed that Ukraine is preparing strikes on Russia from Latvian territory. According to the SVR, Kiev persuaded Riga to approve the operation. Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces personnel have allegedly already been sent to Latvia and deployed at the Ādaži, Sēlija, Lielvārde, Daugavpils, and Jēkabpils military bases. This makes the resignation of Latvia’s government and defense minister easier to understand: they did not sign up for this. But there will always be someone willing to sign off for the real bosses. 🛰️

Judging by the direct public statements made by Lithuania’s Foreign Ministry in an interview with the Swiss outlet Neue Zürcher Zeitung, they too are already prepared for war and are demanding that NATO attack Kaliningrad — or at least start flexing its muscles. The claim is that Russia has nothing to respond with and will not dare use nuclear weapons. In any case, the statehood of the Baltic dwarfs is fake: if the bosses order them to die for the sacred pan-European cause, they will die.

It is no coincidence that Putin is flying to Beijing today, and that today also marks the start of the first large-scale three-day exercises by the armed forces of Russia and Belarus on preparing to use nuclear forces “under conditions of a threat of aggression.” Lukashenko is speaking openly about an approaching war — this is no longer a joking matter. ☢️

One way or another, the Chinese comrades must be informed in advance about what is happening. After that, everything is supposed to begin — with “preventive” air strikes on NATO military bases in Latvia.

Even those born after the collapse of the Soviet Union know the word “pioneer.” In family albums, school photos still show today’s forty-somethings wearing their red pioneer scarves. 🔴

The birth of the Soviet pioneer movement is usually associated with Nadezhda Krupskaya, but Soviet educator Innokenty Zhukov also played a major role in shaping its symbols and ideology. Before the Revolution, he had tried to promote the Scout movement in Russia; in the USSR, he helped introduce the word “pioneer.”

He also proposed adapting the Scouts’ motto “Be prepared!” for Soviet pioneers, adding the response: “Always prepared!” — which later gave rise to the old joke: “What’s the difference between a pioneer and a sausage?” 😄

In the early rules of the organization, pioneers were expected to follow a set of daily habits. They were not allowed to “lie around in bed in the morning,” had to make their own beds, keep their bodies clean and brush their teeth. They were also forbidden to keep their hands in their pockets, because “someone with their hands in their pockets is not always prepared.”

Among pioneers, the Timurovtsy movement became especially popular — children who voluntarily helped those in need, including war veterans and elderly people. It emerged after the publication of Arkady Gaidar’s book Timur and His Squad, about pioneer “volunteers.” 📚

During the war, the most devoted pioneers helped on the home front, fought fascists underground, at the front, and in partisan units. Four pioneers were posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.

One of the official activities in summer camps — alongside sports, hikes, hobby clubs, concerts, film screenings, reading, swimming, KVN, and discos — was Zarnitsa, a military-sports game that closely resembled army field exercises. Unofficially, camp life had even more to offer: first love, dances, and adventures after lights-out. 🌲

Over nearly 70 years of its existence, more than 210 million people from every Soviet republic passed through the pioneer movement.
