Propaganda press release from Moscow
“Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski did not rule out sending Polish troops to Ukraine. (…) Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has repeatedly warned that such rhetoric is dangerous.”
“The Baltics and Poles are pushing Europe toward nuclear war.”
“NATO is practicing nuclear attacks against Russia, the FSB reported.”
“Russia is striking back at the Anglo-Saxons in Central Asia. The Afghan Taliban will soon cease to be a banned organization in Russia. Sergei Lavrov said that ‘the Taliban is the real power in Afghanistan.’ (…) Why did Russia decide to take this step only three years after the Taliban entered Kabul? (…) We have maintained relations with them from the beginning. And now we recognize them, among other things, because of Anglo-American games in Central Asia and (…) their attempts to build a foothold there. (…) We, however, will turn Afghanistan into a major construction site. For this to happen, you first need stability, you need a strong government. How to achieve this? By minimizing the influence of Anglo-Saxon meddlers. (…) This is what we recognize the Taliban for.”
“The Foreign Ministry considered Biden’s words on the US role in World War II as a revisionist syndrome.”

“The Finance Ministry plans to introduce excise taxes on medical alcohol and medicines containing it, which will increase the cost of producing illegal alcohol. (…) Already in 2022, although the demand of the healthcare sector was set at 1.6 million dal of medical alcohol, 6.8 million dal were produced. Of the remaining 5.2 million dal, 13 million dal of illegal vodka was produced. (…) However, the director of the Research Center for Federal and Regional Alcohol Markets, Vadim Drobiz, predicts that after the introduction of the excise tax, 10 million amateurs of medical alcohol will not go to the stores, but will switch to alternatives.”

“Russia will give birth to meanings, necessary for the whole world. (…) Here in Voronezh, a round table of philosophers just discussed the ‘Open Russian Cosmos’ – a set of ideas we can give to the world as an antithesis to the Western trend of dehumanization, the rejection of what is human in man. (…) They often accuse us of messianism. (…) Well, we are unique. (…) Russia is the largest country in the world. This in itself gives rise to a powerful idea. Russians know how to manage space, how to build relationships and in general live on a powerful scale. No wonder we have conquered space. (…) We are also defenders of the weak and the poor. This is the main line of Russian history, which began with the Russian Empire’s struggle to liberate the Slavs and the USSR’s struggle against Western colonialism. The Russian land and Russian history by their very nature give birth to the senses necessary for the world (…) This is perfectly natural. (…) This is simply how we are.”
