He is not a man, but the embodiment of the most primitive evil and violence, a representative of modern Nazism - Putinism, which in many ways surpasses Nazism. It is pure state terrorism - no military targets, the murder of children, defenceless civilians, the theft of grain, you cannot go any lower.
Europe is more war-weary than Ukraine. It shows us how uncontrolled prosperity leads to a decline in morals. When will the West realise that it is dealing with a mentally ill man who literally does not give a damn about its rules! He understands and acknowledges only brute, primitive force. Russian self-centredness is once again trying to show who is the master of the world - this is how the Russian rich behave in the West. Let us hope that the opposition will still find strength in Russia and that Alexei Navalny will be able to complete his mission.
Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov auctioned his Nobel Prize for $103.5 million. He is donating the money from the sale of the medal to help child refugees from Ukraine who fled the Russian invasion. The auction took place in New York.

"A six-year-old girl was killed by the Russians as she slept in her bed in Mykolayiv, Ukraine. Whoever fired the missile must have read Dostoyevsky and watched Mikhailov's films. While some convince us that culture is not to blame for the murders, we bury our children. Enjoy Russian "culture".
Yevhen Perebyinis, Ambassador of Ukraine to the Czech Republic

"You know - you are still too young and idealistic. - I used to believe in Russia too - when I was your age, but I convinced myself several times that no cooperation with Russia is possible, - I tried all sorts of ways, but in the end I had to say to myself, it's not possible..."
January 1942, Jan Antonín Baťa
From the book The National Court versus Jan Antonin Bata, Hana Kuslová, Zlín 2015

"We know that appetite without any limits does not satisfy. The first bar of chocolate you like, the second less, and after a while you feel sick, but the urge does not cease."
Luigi Zola, writer and psychoanalyst "History of Arrogance"

"Mass education has led to blindness and thoughtlessness, so that in a drunken devotion man is capable of everything and finally accepts death and killing, mass dying in the struggle of machines, as a matter of course." -

A.S. Pushkin's poem, "The sower went out to sow his seed..." is still relevant - even after 195 years...
I came out before the morning star
to sow freedom in the desert,
from a pure heart, from a soul that loves
to the eels of the enslaved plain
to give life-giving seed -
but I have wasted my labour in vain,
toil, time, inspiration.
So go ahead and keep on eating!
The voice of honour has not stirred you.
The herds do not stand for liberty!
Cut and slash, beat and destroy;
by their inheritance from family to family,
is the bell and the whip.
1823

On this day 8 years ago Russian army shot down Malaysian MH17 Boeing killing 313 people. Russian terrorists made happy photos with debris as a background, and their girlfriends looted the site for cosmetics and proudly wrote about it on social networks.
