Український дух/Ukrainian spirit

  How effective is propaganda? Is it the cause and origin of crimes committed by the population of those countries where totalitarian, aggressive regimes reign? Paying much attention to propaganda, we forget that the driving force of any society, even a totalitarian one, is its population. Without its will, it is impossible to commit crimes on a planetary scale. Considering the history of the past, we can recall that the National Socialist German Workers' Party gradually increased its presence in Reichstag before the proclamation of Hitler as Fuhrer. In November 1932, the NSDAP won 33.1% of the votes in the democratic elections in the Weimar Republic. At that time, there was no total Goebbels propaganda, however the idea of a great Germany was present in the air. Propaganda is not the cause of the events, but only a tool for consolidating the population around a single leader. A population that actually wants to hear the ideas of propaganda, looks for the idealogy, feels united wit...

  The catastrophe in Novaya Kakhovka revealed the new aspects of the world community and its dealing with the crisis. Western media vocalized doubts on which side could have blown the dam – Russia or Ukraine. Russian propaganda has immediately put the blame on Ukraine, while Russian liberal movement has been triumphing over new occasion for blaming both sides. The biggest humanitarian organizations remained silent ignoring the disaster. Ukraine was left alone to rescue drowning humans and animals in the environmental apocalypse.  Indifference or “deep concern” from the international community is no longer news for Ukrainians. Shifting responsibility by different means has also been commonplace since the war in Ukraine started. Two techniques regularly used in the West on the war in Ukraine are bothsidesing and victim blaming.  Bothsidesing refers to media giving credence to the other side of a cause, action, or idea to seem fair or only for the sake of argument when the c...

  [ You can listen to a short version of the article in the form of a podcast using the link . If you want to follow all arguments and analysis, please read the article below.] This article starts a series of materials aimed at exposing those groups in the Western countries that profit from the suffering of Ukrainians and help putin and Moscow's imperialism achieve their goals. After the invasion of the russian federation (further on in the text the historical name of this state Muscovy is used) in Ukraine, a sufficient number of officials in the West stated that the beginning of the war came as a surprise to them. No one could have imagined such a thing, – they say. After reading all the articles from this series, the reader will be able to draw a conclusion if it is really the case.   Our first material is aimed at exposing the activities of the Western companies that help to lay the foundation of the aggressor's army. To date, the European Union has adopted 10 packages of s...

  Daily Russian propaganda portrays Ukrainians as aggressive nationalists. In reality, it is a projection of their own emotions associated with the word. You will never hear a Ukrainian saying that he or she is better than others, smarter than others, stronger than others, or more spiritual than others only because of being Ukrainian. No Ukrainian will ever say that Ukrainianness is given by God, which gives the right to be arrogant and feel superior. Ukrainians have an instinctive, historically established urge to preserve their identity. Their language, culture and peaceful life on their land. Ukrainians just want to stay being Ukrainians. They feel big and beautiful love of own self. Not barbaric hatred of others as Russians do. Russians' national chauvinism is soaked in racism and xenophobia towards Ukrainians. Russians consider themselves "the great chosen Slavs". They will use total destruction of everything alive to make their neighbor country as miserable as thei...

  According to Ukrainian military intelligence as well as mass media the deceitful kremlin, through its proxies in the DPR, plans to organize a “ show trial ” of prisoners of war from the Azov regiment in violation of the agreements and Geneva Convention by the end of summer . We want to remind that the defenders of Mariupol reluctantly laid down their arms under the guarantees from the International Committee of  Red Cross (ICRC) and the United Nation (UN) in the middle of May after almost three months of defending the city. International organizations have guaranteed that Ukrainian defenders will be held captive in accordance with international norms. In reality, russians are planning to hold a “show trial” against the warriors of Azovstal in the temporarily occupied Mariupol, this time violating agreements not only with Ukraine, but with international organizations. To hold a show trial, iron cages are being installed on the premises of the surviving philharmonic hall, in w...
