I received this email:

Dear friends, yesterday i noticed serious changes on Wikipedia page “History of Ukraine”. A month ago it was listed the History of Ukraine: 44,000 years on the right column, today this information is not listed, no chronology of historical facts with dates! But history of Russia a month ago was listed as from 9th century (in column on the right). NOW, today – it’s starts already as “pre-9th century” and Kievan Rus is presented as Russian’s history. Also, it is added so many additional historical facts that are Ukrainian history. I guess Russia gained more centuries in history for last month and re-wrote it, stealing history from Ukraine. If anyone of you or your good friends are professional historians, please help to correct it. Or, please send this to historical organizations who can correct it. We have to do the modifications according to the real historical facts. Thank you.

‘Political prisoner’?That’s what #Russians call Gubarev, want to trade him for #OSCE reps (‘#NATO spies’)

On 11 December 1994, Russian forces launched a three-pronged ground attack towards Grozny. The main attack was temporarily halted by deputy commander of the Russian Ground Forces, Gen. Eduard Vorobyov, who then resigned in protest, stating that it is “a crime” to “send the army against its own people.”

Another bad sign.

It’s late. I’m off to bed.

If the Russians can conquer Ukraine because they think it isnt a real country, and really russia hasnt much claim to being a real country, then why dont we just conquer Russia? I mean, the chinese are winning in the east, the muslims in the south – so why dont we just take the west and russias resources, burn all their records and books and divide management if the territory to the eastern europeans?

So while Beijing refrains from all out confrontation with Russia’s interests (as opposed to PRC’s hawkish approach to its neighbours in the East and South-East Asia), Chinese policymakers certainly take advantage of the Kremlin’s missteps and limited capabilities.

China takes note of the stagnating Russian economy that is gradually losing positions in the region. Russia and Central Asia overall trade turnover reached $27.3bn in 2011, when China’s commerce with Central Asia topped $46bn in 2012. Single-handedly, Beijing has become a main trade partner to all former Soviet states of Central Asia, except for Uzbekistan, where it is the second.

Much to Russia’s dismay, the Chinese “trade revolution” is still in motion. . . .

President Xi Jinping’s proposal to create the “Silk Road” economic belt with Eurasia aims to promote investment opportunities. Within the past year, China sealed $30bn investment package with Kazakhstan, $15bn deal with Uzbekistan and $3bn financial aid with Kyrgyzstan in various industries from oil and natural gas extraction to infrastructure projects throughout Central Asia.

As much as Russia is having a tough time to adapt to the fact that China scooped the energy-rich Central Asia, it has already happened. Chinese-built gas pipelines boosted Central Asia’s regional integration without downsizing sovereignty of any of the states. China’s oil and natural gas pipelines help Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to reroute their energy resources away from Russia, receding their dependency on Moscow. By 2020, China will be the largest consumer of natural gas and oil from the region of Central Asia. Likewise, a Chinese-funded oil refinery plant in Kyrgyzstan is going to break the Kremlin’s fuel supply monopoly. . . .

However, the Kremlin will not to give up easily. Russia has aggressively re-appeared in Central Asia’s weakest countries, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, extending its military presence in these republics and committing close to $1.5bn for rearmament of the armies in both states. So far, the Kremlin’s foothold in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan has been firm. . . .

Russia’s cultural influence is dramatically shrinking elsewhere in Central Asia. Kazakhstan has now cemented the legislation to replace Cyrillic script with Latin as the country’s official alphabet by 2025 just as Uzbekistan did 10 years ago. The sharp decline of the ethnic Russian population in Central Asian republics and influx of graduates from Turkish schools and universities have contributed to Moscow’s waning cultural influence over the years.

It was established that on 17 April 2014, Bezler (call sign BES – Devil) set the self-proclaimed chief of police the task of neutralizing Rybak, who was trying to raise the national flag on the Horlivka Regional State Administration building.

Simultaneously, Bezler gave orders to a member of his group, a military officer of the Russian Federation, to kidnap Rybak, put him in a car, and take him to a specified place, where measures of physical coercion would be applied to him. Bezler planned to personally go to the place where Rybak would be detained.

Then, following Shooter’s (Igor Strelkov) orders, Rybak was taken to the headquarters of separatists in Sloviansk, where he personally had to talk to Igor Strelkov.

It was also established that on 20 April 2014 Strelkov personally gave instructions to Ponomariov, the self-proclaimed mayor of Sloviansk, to take the body of murdered Rybak away from headquarters; the order was carried out.

Transcript:

Orders to seize Rybak:

Bezler: “Alf, listen to me, go inside the city executive committee. There Rybak is on a rampage. There, people are trying to restrain him somehow.”

Bezler: “Look, squeeze and press him for a bit, put him in your car, and take him somewhere far away. And then stop the car and tell me where I should come. Understood? Come on!”

Bezler: “Do not hang up! Guys, take him, we need to pack him up and take him away.”

Bezler: “When packing – tie his hands, tie him so hard that no eyes, so that he can’t see anything.”

Order of Russian special operations soldier Strelkov to self-proclaimed mayor of Sloviansk Ponomariov concerning measures to bury the body:

Strelkov: “Slava, please, settle the matter with the stiff. So that he is quickly dragged away from us today. Why should he be lying here and stinking … “

Ponomaryov: “With the corpse? Yes, yes, just a moment. I am now finishing with journalists and will do it straight away”

Ponomaryov: “There guys caught… they will take … to you with … there to the basement … “

Ponomaryov: “And now I will go quickly and settle the issue of burying this [prison] bitch.”

Strelkov: “Come on, good.”

At a briefing earlier, Marina Ostapenko, spokeswoman of the Security Service of Ukraine, appealed to the people of Sloviansk, asking them not to support terrorists.
