#GoodMorning #Gravel! Went through some villages to #Pobierowo and back on some proper #forest paths. That big #Golebiewski #hotel by the #sea is one of the nastiest shit I’ve seen at #Baltic coast… What a waste of space and nature…😔

A late #GoodMorning #Bicycle upload. After a few years here, there’s literally nowhere to go within 2h of #cycling. Went through #KamienPomorski to #Dusin and back.🤷🏻♂️
Some patches of bad asphalt barely made it a #gravel ride… I felt fast, though…😂

#USSR authorities:
- executed >600k people for political reasons only during Stalin's rule, most of them in extrajudicial manner without any fair trial (btw in a way directly prohibited by #Soviet constitution).
- built #gulag, where incarcerated more than million people in various years, in particular for political reasons.
- plotted 3 artificial #famine s - with millions of people killed. The 2nd one in #Ukraine (1932-33) - with clear signs of premeditated genocide.
- forcibly expelled a number of ethnic groups (#CrimeanTatars, #Chechens, Soviet #Germans just to name a few) to distant regions of USSR, often into not inhabitable conditions, with fatalities reaching dozens of percents.
- Initiated aggressive wars against #Finland and #Poland (the latter twice, 2nd time together with #NaziGermany), annexed #Baltic states and part of #Romania.
- Performed mass execution of #Polish #PoWs (#Katyn massacre).
- Performed systematic persecutions of people with foreign origin falsely charging them in espionage, which typically led to execution (ironically, Soviets were murdering refugee members of #Communist Party of #Germany to a not so much lesser extent as the #Nazis).I've named only the most prominent fuck I am talking about.

We’re at the #Baltic #Sea, but the weather hasn’t been kind. We’ve come here on Saturday, but today (Wednesday) was the first day with a decent temperature and sun…
We’ve been sharpening stones to make an axe from a piece of rock broken and sharpened on another stone, tied to a stick. It was a lot of fun.
We’ve also had a dab in the water, but it wasn’t exactly a pleasure…😂

The #agriculture sector in the #Baltic States employs thousands of guest workers from outside the EU yearly. Around 5,000 #foreigners come to #Estonia every year for seasonal #work. Farms in #Latvia are hiring more foreigners amid a shortage of local #labour as well. In #Lithuania, over 5,000 foreigners are working on farms.

#GoodMorning #Baltic #sea! A boring as fuck ride to the west, through #Dziwnow and #Miedzywodzie and back. The drunken zombies already started to crawl out…
A straight piece of shitty shared path, with nothing interesting on route…

#GoodMorning #Cycling! We’re at the #Baltic #sea now, near #KamienPomorski. Decided to go to #ChrzaszczewskaWyspa first thing in the morning and it was a #gravel bliss, meaning the roads are shit!🥰 You can also see some old oil wells and an abandoned prison here!🤡🫣

A day wasted in the car, but at least there’s been a will to take #bicycle and kiss the #Baltic #sea…
Hopefully, the weather will be nice tomorrow, because I have some plans…

President Edgars Rinkevics of #Latvia has turned to the State Security Service over the plan of OTP #Bank of #Hungary to acquire the #Baltic banking group, Luminor. Latvian PM Andris Kulbergs characterised the possible deal as a "reputational question," given OTP Bank's operations in #Russia.

This was a fantastic installation at The Baltic in Gateshead- ‘Working Class Hero (A Portrait of John Lennon)’ by Candice Breitz. She filmed Lennon fans singing their way through Plastic Ono Band and had each one on it's own screen hung up the echoey steel stairwell at the gallery. An utterly awesome experience, I only remember "Working Class Hero"

The central bank of #Lithuania said that the operations of Hungary's OTP #Bank in #Russia raised questions about its planned acquisition of the #Baltic banking group, Luminor. OTP Bank insists that it has been unable to find a "legally, morally, and economically acceptable" way to exit Russia.

The new #government of #Lithuania will not make any major changes in #foreignpolicy. PM Mindaugas Sinkevicius named regional #security, #Baltic cooperation, and stronger ties with #USA as priorities. Policy towards #Belarus will remain unchanged, but the government will seek to normalise relations with #China.

#NATO will turn its #Baltic Air Policing mission into an air #defence mission. The change will allow NATO fighters to respond more rapidly to aerial threats. At the same time, NATO has failed to maintain a rotational deployment of air defence systems in the Baltic States as agreed in 2023.

#Russia may be preparing limited attacks aimed at critical infrastructure in #Poland and the #Baltic states, according to #Lithuanian intelligence.
The provocations are likely aimed at testing NATO’s unity, and #Lithuania has tightened security to prevent disruptions in the system.
