“Obviously we will not celebrate this date for 200 years. One has to take into account the international situation of #detente, as well as the fact that there are now entire generations of people actively living and working, who did not know the #war in practice, who did not see or experience it.”

"Earlier on X, [Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei said ..."
Normally I relish a bit of irony, but this is just painful.
But also, how can a country go for the #IronCurtain version of #DigitalSovereignty and not have the technical and political competence to #SelfHost a blog in order to make press releases? Can you imagine #Khrushchev or #Brezhnev using a US platform to make statements?
Hey, remember us - we too sent Special Forces to kidnap the President of another country. It was #Afghanistan in 1979.
Didn't work out too well for us either.

On Thursday #Russia will celebrate Victory Day, its commemoration of the defeat of #Nazi #Germany in 1945. Domestically, this is nostalgia. In the 1970s, Soviet leader Leonid #Brezhnev created a cult of victory. Russia under #Putin has continued the tradition.
Abroad, this is intimidation. We are meant to think that Russia cannot lose.
Russia can lose. And it should lose, for the sake of the world — and for its own sake.

The #soviet jokes – aka ”anecdotes” – seem to be back en masse in #Russia by #Prigozhin’s revolt. https://www.hs.fi/ulkomaat/art-2000009690500.html (in Finnish)
They’re yet to reach the #Brezhnev era witty sarcasm, but this one made me chortle:
’ Prigozhin: I stopped the advance to Moscow when I realized that I’ll never reach the other end of #Putin’s table. ’

'The scale of #repression and number of cases is reminiscent of the #Brezhnev era, byt by the level of #cruelty and by the length of #prison terms being handed out, it's like #Stalin 's time'
