CONFIRMED: Commander ‘Givi’ assassinated in bomb blast in Eastern Ukraine

As the fascist forces of the Kiev junta become increasingly desperate, they are resorting to assassination upon assassination of commanders from the Donetsk and Lugansk republics.

Yulia Tymoshenko wants total war on Donbass

Yulia Tymoshenko is best remembered as a totally corrupt Ukrainian Prime Minister who served under the equally compromised and corrupt President  Victor Yushchenko.
Although Yushchenko’s regime was more or less doomed to infamy from the start, having come to power in the wake of the so-called ‘Orange revolution’, Tymoshenko did her best to play all sides against each other, opting to lie prostrate under any world leader or domestic oligarch, in order to attempt to enhance her domestic standing and her personal wealth.

Historical basis for the Donbass fight

If Petro Poroshenko ever thought that destroying the freedom and independence of the Donabss republics would be easy, he ought to consider how Donbass and neighbouring areas have historically risen in independence, defying the same forces which seek to subdue them today.
Historically the core of the Donbass region, the city known contemporarily as Donetsk, was founded in 1869. The city represented the heart of modern Russian industry. If St. Petersburg was founded as Russia’s cultural showcase to the world, Donetsk was founded as the industrial equivalent.

Donald Trump’s foreign policy team continues along a path of confusion, indecision and borrowing the rhetoric of Obama’s failed flunkies.

When addressing the carnage in Donbass, she spoke of the “…aggressive actions of Russia”. I knew right then and there she’d lost the plot.

The Orthodox Nationalist: New Russia and the Rise of the Republics

This week on The Orthodox Nationalist, Dr Matthew Raphael Johnson deals with what he calls “the most significant event in world history since the fall of the USSR” — the rise of the republics of Luhansk and Donetsk in eastern Ukraine. Collectively called New Russia, this is the highly industrialized region of Ukraine that took up arms against the liberal coup of 2014.
