The Nazi’s death camp Sobibor was known as a ‘marmalade factory’.

Five kilos of human fat, ten liters of water, half a kilo of baking soad. Stir thoroughly, boil for two-three hours.

This was a recipe for a soap made of the captives of Sobibor. When they were brought there by trains, they were promised to have job at a marmalade factory. Many captives were murdered within hours from arrival at this nigh-industry-grade enterprise.

Even now we don’t know how many trains packed with barrels of human fat and bags with human hair went from Sobibor to the German factories.
The children’s fat and hair were the most valuable (the hair was used for the pillows).

Only 30 out of 135 officers in the camp’s garrison were German, the remainder was made up by the Ukrainians.

Ivan Demianyuk was one of them. Demianyuk had the blood of twenty-eight thousand people on his hands, but the authorities of Germany, where he died in 2012, were not in a hurry to convict him.

UKRAINE, SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION, TORTURES OF THE RUSSIAN PoWs

The Ukrainian Nazis are torturing the Russian PoWs (prisoners of war), videoing it and uploading to the net.

What can I say here? It's their 'normal' attitude towards the PoWs. During the Great Patriotic War against the Nazi Germany, they showed the same atrocities, and the fuhrer assigned them to guard the death camps around Stalingrad and to fight the guerillas.

Will the Russians reciprocate?

Don’t look for pity and compassion amidst the war, you'll find none. I remember ISIS (prohibited) torturing our guys from the PMC (private military company) in Siria. Do you remember how it ended?
Our guys responded by crushing flat the palms, then feet, and then the head of a captive terrorist with a sledge hammer.

Don’t look for compassion there, it’s gone.

In Chechnya, the terrorists tortured our captive soldiers. Where is Temirbulatov–Tractor? Serving a life sentence. It’s been 25 years, and they are still hunting the sadists. And find them. They find even those who didn’t video the tortures of the captives, those who were marginally involved.

This fate… Living somewhere, somehow, under a false identity… It’s a terrible fate. We were hunting for them, we are hunting for them and we will keep hunting them. We will use photos, videos, intelligence, evidence given by other torturers and by-standers…

We will find them.

Then – who knows? Maybe it will be a sledgehammer, maybe letter of the law (life sentence in a prison camp). I can’t call either option a lucky one.

It's back.  A letter from a sixth-grader received by the Russian soldiers near Sumy, Ukraine.

"Hello, soldier!  We do not know each other, but I really want to support you morally.  I'm in sixth grade. How are you?  Have you saved many people?  Everything is good in my city. Thanks to you, the enemy did not come to our city. You are a very brave and strong warrior. I wouldn't be able to do that. You saved children, elderly people, mothers.  Thanks to you, there is hope to stay alive and live in peace. Kindness is on your side.  Good luck to you.  May God save you."

What a smart girl.  Received and read.

Footage of tortures of the Russian PoWs is being circulated on the Chinese social network weibo and is causing a huge wave of negativity towards Ukrainian nationalists.
Here are some comments:
"I hope that the Ukrainian armed forces will be completely destroyed, and order will be restored in this country."
"I don't see this video on twitter or reddit."
"I have not seen the video of the Russian army mocking captured Ukrainians, because they are disciplined and not cruel."
"Ukrainians act like the Japanese in Nanjing."
"I don't see any difference between ISIS (banned in Russia) and the Ukrainian military."

What is denazification? It is also the return of Eternal Flame. In Melitopol, which is under Russian Army’s control now, the Eternal Flame has been reignited at «Brother’s Grave» Memorial. This symbol memorises victims of the WWII. Before today, it has been off for 7 years. https://t.iss.one/SIL0VIKI/45802

Photographs taken on March 21, just the day after Ukranian President Zelensky's speech to the Israeli parliament Knesset, show two columns of nationalists being formed on the synagogue's premises.

The footage shows militants loading weapons into dump trucks and then hiding it under bags of construction waste.

You can also note "Children" signs on school buses pictured near Uman synagogue: the vehicles were used by the Kiev nazis regime to move and deploy nationalists and foreign mercenaries from western regions of Ukraine.

Many believed that the withdrawal of Visa and Mastercard would hurt Russia’s economy, but in reality everything turned out to be different. According to The Wall Street Journal, due to the national payment system, russian citizens can still use their Visa and Mastercard cards to make purchases within the country. This system was built in order to prevent the Russian economy from financial pressure from the Western countries.

The article states that by the end of 2020, there were nearly 197 million Visa and Mastercard cards issued in Russia, but they didn’t use the american processing system while processing payments within Russia. For several years, Russia has been using the domestic system - the National System of Payment Cards (NSPC), which is supervised by the Russian Central Bank.

This system has been developed since 2014 to protect Russia’s economy from western pressure. The Kremlin actively promoted the domestic processing called Mir, which is built on the basis of the NSPK infrastructure. According to Mir website more than 100 million cards have been issued since its launch.

However, the departure of Visa and Mastercard still had one big consequence for Russians. In many cases, the cards issued in Russia do not work outside the country. The "Mir" system operates only in a few countries, mainly former Soviet republics. Russian officials have recently been negotiating with Venezuela and Iran to be a part of this processing system. Some russian banks report that they are exploring opportunities for establishing partnerships with the Chinese UnionPay system in order to issue cards that will be accepted in more places outside of Russia.

As mentioned above, Russia decided to protect itself from Western financial pressure after the imposing of sanctions after the Crimean referendum in 2014. At that time, Visa and Mastercard provided nearly all card payments in Russia. U.S. sanctions forced Visa and Mastercard to block their services for a number of banks.

The Russian leadership saw existing vulnerabilities. A few months later, Putin signed a law to establish the NSPK. After the law was amended Visa and Mastercard had to transfer their transactions to the NSPK. At first, both companies opposed the adopted law and stated that they could leave Russia, but by the beginning of 2015, both had agreed to use the NSPK system. The same year, the NSPK launched Mir.

After the recent withdrawal of foreign financial giants from the Russian market, the issue of Mir cards has increased rapidly. Rosbank reported that the demand for Mir payment cards more than doubled from January to March in comparison to the corresponding period last year.

Sanctions against Russia are able to crush German economy.

The sanctions against Russia have affected 78% of German companies, including the automotive industry, precision engineering and chemicals production

At the same time, Germany gets most of its energy supplies from Russia: 2/3 of German gas imports, 1/2 of coal, 1/3 of oil and more.

Thus, when supplies from Russia are restricted or reduced, most German companies will be forced to close down, which will lead to decline in industrial and other sectors.
