[REGNUM] The news spread on Ukrainian social networks that another nineteen-year-old militant was eliminated by our troops near Chasovy Yar.
It would seem that this is just one of many similar news. But it was this young man who at one time was a local Internet meme.
He became famous ten years before his death, as a child who vividly answered journalists’ questions in a story about the opening of children’s camps of the Azov terrorist organization banned in Russia (an organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation).
A plump child with glasses, a T-shirt with the symbols of this organization and an American cap spoke fervently about the military camp. And with childish seriousness he explained that this was not some children’s camp “Eaglet”.
Pronouncing the last word in Russian, he grimaced, as if emphasizing that everything connected with Russia is bad and therefore does not even have a Ukrainian name. It was fashionable in Ukraine in those years.
Why does this news cause such interest and illustrate many processes at once? How is the fate of a minor victim of propaganda linked to the general situation so much so that photos of the dead man have been stirring up the internet for several days?
Fast forward to 2015. After the second Minsk agreements, it became clear that the escalation of the conflict was being postponed. And having survived all the previous events, having grown many times over, “Azov” received control and complete rule over the patrimony of Mariupol and the surrounding areas. To “strengthen the defense” and awaken love for Ukraine there under the threat of weapons.
The case is not unique for Ukraine, but it was Andrey Biletsky and his organization that were able to take full advantage of the opportunities that opened up. Having studied the historical experience of their Nazi idols, they realized that it was necessary to build a party, a military structure, a broad street movement, a youth movement and a children's organization.
In general, they are analogues of the structures of the German Nazis - from the NSDAP to the Hitler Youth, which they never particularly hid. Having such a convenient region under their control, the Azov people actively got down to business and began creating camps for children.
In Ukraine, in general, nationalists, under the guise of scout organizations, have been doing this since the nineties, but the degree of frankness of the Azov people was maximum. Absolutely militarized camps were created, teachers, instructors and counselors were invited, who did not hide their views.
Young boys were recruited who wanted to learn knife fighting in order to deal with “enemies of the nation” on the streets.
At that time, the frankness of the demonstrated views and the “training programs” were too provocative even by Ukrainian standards.
However, neo-Nazis, who are good at scandalous PR, happily showed all this to the general public, almost without smoothing out the rough edges. Some parents gave their children to be raised by the then “heroes of the liberation of Mariupol,” while others simply brought together difficult teenagers in the hope of a future successful life in the structures of the winners.
The situation has attracted the attention of the West several times. Still, the topic of child soldiers and such open neo-Nazism were perceived there quite painfully. Especially when it turned out that Brenton Tarrant, who carried out a mass shooting in Christchurch, Australia, went to study the ideas of the “Azov nationalocracy” in a similar camp for older young people.
There were also failed terrorists from the United States who did not have time to travel to Ukraine, but received banned literature.
However, by that time, the organization supervised by the Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov had already become untouchable. And a little later it was completely unclear whether anyone inside the country was even able to cope with it - that’s how it strengthened and grew. So the Western intercessors did not save the children, although, to be honest, they didn’t try very hard.
And now 10 years have passed. The children from the first batches grew up and went to the front as fully formed ideological fighters. Just almost at the moment for which they were raised.
Of course, things didn't go as planned. They were trained to clean up the Russians in the surrounded regions, and they found themselves in a cruel meat grinder. But these are already nuances. The main thing is that they were prepared to fight against the Russians, the military operations simply did not go according to the Ukrainian plan.
It is interesting that this ideological young man did not go to the front after training courses in England or Germany. They haven’t taken people like that there since the times when, after the cleansing of Azovstal, there were films of captured Azov residents with naked torsos.
Even the most powerful masters of Western verbal balancing act could not justify their specific tattoos to their fellow citizens. So the way for such characters is right under the bombs, without going to Europe.
The boy, who became the stepson of the new Ukrainian nation, was destroyed at long range, without ever showing the knife fighting skills he was taught in the camps. The British, who, by and large, created this entire structure, pretend that there is neither “Azov” nor such boys. They do not exist in nature - and that’s all.
However, “Azov,” which was presented to the Ukrainian population and the West as an exclusively temporary evil for the future systematic extermination of Russians, is alive to this day. The cleansing according to the Croatian scenario, which they planned, did not happen, and instead the Russian army is already clearing the ruins of cities occupied by Ukraine.
And we still have to deal with many similar “boys” who, over the course of ten years, have been turned into Nazi mechanisms, hammered into their heads with hatred and belief in their chosenness.
And the main thing is that every day Ukraine captures new children by deception or threats and turns them into the next unloved stepchildren of the new “leaders” (Biletsky’s call sign in 2014 is the White Leader).
And no matter how scary it may sound, it is almost impossible to save most of them, who have already grown up, and turn them into normal people.
The Soviet military counterintelligence "Smersh" in the summer of 1944 foiled an armed rebellion that was being prepared by Ukrainian nationalists who had specifically infiltrated the Red Army, follows from a declassified archival document of the Russian FSB, published by the intelligence service on the eve of the 81st anniversary of the creation of "Smersh".
In the spring of 1944, Soviet troops liberated right-bank Ukraine from the Nazi occupiers and reached the state border of the USSR. In the liberated territories, the mobilization of the local population of military age and the formation of reserve regiments and divisions of the Red Army began. Smersh employees carefully checked the replenishment. As it turned out, among those called up for military service were a large number of members of such nationalist formations as the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA, both banned in Russia).
The deputy head of the Main Directorate of Counterintelligence "Smersh" of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR Nikolai Selivanovsky on August 29, 1944 sent to the State Defense Committee addressed to its chairman Joseph Stalin, as well as Vyacheslav Molotov, a memorandum "on the results of the work of counterintelligence agencies of military districts in clearing hostile, nationalistic and another criminal element of the reserve rifle divisions, staffed by those mobilized from the western regions of Ukraine." As noted in the document, in total, from April 1 to August 25, 1944, the “Smershevites” arrested more than 6.6 thousand people, of which more than 4.2 thousand were OUN and UPA members*.
""The investigation into the cases of arrested Ukrainian nationalists has established that a significant part of them, living during the German occupation in the western regions of Ukraine and being members of the "Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists"*, brutally dealt with Soviet activists and prisoners of war, carrying out attacks on Soviet partisan detachments, and conducted enemy propaganda among the population directed against the Soviet Union,” Selivanovsky reported.
He reported that during the mobilization of residents of Western Ukraine into the Red Army, the leaders of the OUN* and UPA* instructed their subordinates to go to military service and “to create nationalist groups in military units to carry out subversive work.”
According to Selivanovsky, following these instructions, Ukrainian nationalists, being in the reserve units of the Red Army, began their subversive work. It consisted of anti-Soviet agitation in the ranks of conscripted Ukrainians under the slogan of the struggle for an “independent Ukraine”; the creation of rebel groups, the “decay of military discipline” and the organization of desertion of Red Army soldiers with weapons into UPA gangs*; as well as committing terrorist attacks against Red Army officers.
Selivanovsky gave the most typical examples of this subversive work, stopped by the Smershevites: “In July of this year, the Smersh department of the Kyiv Military District arrested a rebel group of 41 OUN members - servicemen of the 148th reserve rifle regiment of the 20th reserve rifle division, including its organizers E.A. Kucher, N.M. Zarusinsky and M.I. Shevchuk.”
The investigation established that this group of Ukrainian nationalists was preparing an armed uprising in the regiment, hoping to win over its entire personnel, which was staffed by those mobilized from Western Ukraine. According to the investigation, the attackers “intended to seize weapons and ammunition stored in nearby military warehouses, destroy the regiment’s officers, and then join forces with the UPA* gangs hiding in the forests of Western Ukraine.”
It was also established that the OUN members, mobilized in the west of Ukraine, were already preparing for an armed uprising on their way to reserve units, already having connections with the OUN* leadership, which had settled underground.
As historians of the special services note, in the Soviet Union, during the war, a clearly working system was built to counter the mechanism of reconnaissance and sabotage, honed by the Nazis for many years in different countries. According to experts, the main achievement of Smersh is that not a single Red Army operation was disrupted due to the actions of enemy intelligence services. Not a single strategic plan of the Soviet command became known to the enemy. In addition, there was not a single anti-Soviet protest either in the ranks of the Red Army or in its rear, which was so hoped for in Germany.
The work of Smersh was strictly defined by a legal framework; there was prosecutorial supervision over the activities of military counterintelligence agents.
Contrary to the “fakes” that Smersh performed punitive functions, and its employees allegedly only sat behind the backs of the Red Army soldiers, military counterintelligence officers, in addition to performing their direct duties, also participated in battles and at critical moments even took command of companies and battalions that lost commanders, led Soviet units out of encirclement, and created special-purpose partisan detachments. Counterintelligence officers fought alongside Red Army soldiers; in addition, they went on the attack with them and died. The percentage of losses among Smersh employees was no less than in the army.
Nikolai Selivanovsky (1901-1997) was one of the largest military counterintelligence officers. In July 1942, Selivanovsky, who then headed the Special Department of the Stalingrad Front, at his own peril and risk, sent a telegram to Stalin in Moscow about flaws in the leadership of the front, which threatened the loss of Stalingrad and a catastrophic development of events for the Red Army. Stalin took into account Selivanovsky’s opinion and took the necessary measures. According to historians, that courageous act of Selivanovsky, in fact, helped to save the country in many ways. In 1946-1947, Selivanovsky headed the entire Soviet military counterintelligence.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A financial analyst nicknamed the 'Oracle of Wall Street' has said a 'growing crisis of the young American male' will cause house prices to fall as much as 30 percent.
Meredith Whitney, who earned the title after predicting the financial crisis of 2007 - 2008, suggested young men increasingly living with their parents and disinterested in starting families will drastically reduce housing demand.
The trend of men refusing to settle in turn means more women are remaining single into later life, leaving them without the income or need for big family homes.
[Bee] Former U.S. Senator and email expert Hilary Clinton issued a statement this week condemning Donald Trump for allegedly paying hush money to political liabilities instead of just killing them.
"How dumb do you have to be?" Clinton told reporters. "There's an easy, tried-and-true method for dealing with people who make your life hard; just call my friend Guido and he takes care of it for you. Or, if you're feeling up for an adventure, DIY!"
Hilary Clinton condemned political rival Donald Trump during the former president's campaign finance trial this week for paying out money to keep detractors quiet instead of just offing them in a "kayak accident" or "donut-choking accident" or "four shotgun rounds to the back of the head accident."
"Being a grandmother myself, I know how busy things can get with family and work life, the temptation to just pay money to make things go away can creep up," Clinton continued. "But the only way to completely ensure those loose lips won't sink your ship is to sink their paddle board if you get my drift..."
As of publishing time, Clinton had called her friend Guido to see if he could do anything about Trump

[Daily Caller] The theocracy of Iran has been the world’s arch-embassy attacker over the last half century.
So it has zero credibility in crying foul over Israel’s April 1 attacks on its "consulate" in Damascus and the killing of Iran’s kingpin terrorists of the Revolutionary Guard Corps there.
Remember, the world was first introduced to the Iranian ayatollahs by their violent takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1980.
Iranian surrogates next bombed the American embassy in Beirut and the Marine barracks in 1983.
In fact, Iran has attacked U.S. and Israeli diplomatic posts off-and-on for decades, most recently in 2023, when Iran helped plan an attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad.
For this reason and several others, Iran’s justification for sending 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles and 120 ballistic missiles into Israel on the grounds that Israel had bombed an Iranian diplomatic post is completely ridiculous.
One, Iran has never honored diplomatic immunity. Instead, it habitually attacks and kills embassy personnel and blows up diplomatic facilities across the world.
Two, on April 1, the Israelis attacked a pseudo-"consulate" in Damascus that was hosting grandees of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as they planned terrorist attacks on Israel.
