Who was Maidan snipers’ mastermind?
The probe into the Maidan “snipers problem” – by the new Ukrainian government underwritten by it – continues.

A Tale of Two Elections: Syria, Ukraine, and the West’s Double Take on Democracy
Ukraine and Syria are both going to the polls in less than two weeks, but the election that is legitimate (Syria) is painted as a fraud by the West, and the actual fraudulent election (Ukraine) is promoted as legitimate.

A Western-backed fascist regime in Kiev is unleashing deadly violence against dissenting pro-Russian citizens, with the latest victims numbering 20 in the […]
Putin displays Ukraine chess mastery
Russia’s celebrations of the 69th anniversary of the defeat of fascism in World War II come just days after Ukrainian neo-fascists enacted an appalling Odessa massacre. For those who know their history, the graphic symbolism speaks for itself. And then a geopolitical chess gambit added outright puzzlement to the trademark […]
