http://youtu.be/0wfvlxR9MIk An older video showing the receiving end of a russian artillery barrage onto the city of Debaltseve. And why are the videos still not showing up properly? It worked fine previously...

Why do they think they are still entitled to get pensions from Ukraine? I don't know if they noticed, but there is a war going on and they are not even on government controlled territory anymore. If they really want their pensions so bad, they should complain to russia now.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32085544 The reporter asks the OSCE official whether they have access to the whole border and he answers that they don't. When she asks the russian general the same question he says that the OSCE have access to the whole border and that the OSCE publications confirm that, which the OSCE representative and the OSCE reports deny. Just a weird and somewhat awkward situation, where the russian general just lies about the OSCE in front of the OSCE.

Some more russian stability Btw, what happened to the YT videos within the post, why are they just links now?

This video brought up some interesting points. Instead of pumping tons of weapons from both sides it would probably make more sense to modernize the weapons, so it won't pay to throw tons of old, outmatched weapons against new ones. After all, Russia can't support what is basically a second army for ever.

My guess would be islamists or someting like that. Apparently the police found some people who had connections to the murder of a police man a few days ago. They negotiated first and the kid that was in the flat was evacuated. Then the militants got killed.

Meanwhile in Makhachkala

The USA has sent 30 Humvees to Ukraine which are now used in a modified variant.

So yeah, thats what "the west" and russia call a "cease-fire" and withdrawal of heavy weapons.

This reminds me of the first time I read 1984. I was very suprised to find so many elements which were familiar to me and stuff that only got to the public after the fall of the soviet union. And that from a book written in 1949 by an english writer. So it is very possible that people outside of a country will know better about it then the people living there.

These damn provocateurs are everywhere! http://youtu.be/ggotG5RYFLQ Nemtsov on Echo Moskvy a few hours before he was murdered.

That's quite a lot of people and most importantly they all came volunterally and without getting paid. Police arresting people with "provacative" flags. There are people demonstrating in St. Petersburg as well. Kinda refreshing seeing russian flags without any novorossiyas, georgs-bands or dnrs and stuff like that.

The screenshot is from a livestream which went on for a few hours. Pravda - Who killed Boris Nemtsov? Here we go: North Korean media at its finest. Wait, you mean thats not from North Korea? Oh... A bit of background from wikipedia: "Hello Barack! Why did you shoot Nemtsov?" Artist: Marian Kamensky

Interesting how many 2S1s the average coal miner has in his basement.

Investigation? Whats that?

Russians complaining that they were not allowed to loot the building when it wasn't burning http://youtu.be/x7iJgckOaRw Reminds me of this: Russians protecting the belongings of the locals in Georgia.

Meanwhile in Donetsk: Local miners and tractor driver are helping residents to check the stability of their car windows. http://youtu.be/d69KuU77uL0

Video version of the article.

The city of Donetsk and a few surrounding villages was everything that was left of the DNR, with it being completely surrounded and cut off from the LNR, which consisted of the mostly surrounded Lugansk and a bit of territory at the russian border, so no, they were on the brink of defeat.

They were supposedly giving 5$ to people participating in the demo. I guess the video by itself doesn't really prove anything, but still. But there is also this. "Putin is better than Hitler" (Old photo) "Putin and Kadirov wont allow for a Maidan" (Current photos) More stuff they "found".

Protests and rallies are forbidden in Russia, unless the government organizes it. So pretty much all rallies and demonstrations in russia are staged by the government. Well, that and the fact that according to russian polls putins approval rate is above 80%.

Local miners. From Buryatia.
