Russians in Belgrade: The road to the unknown

Some have friends, acquaintances or friends of friends who help them. Most use groups on the Telegram application or on networks such as "Serbia in my mind", whose number of members was 200 and now has exceeded 6000. They exchange advice and offer services or free help for translation, finding accommodation, work, procurement documents, company registration. There are also questions such as "where to find insulin", "where to register a child for volleyball", "how much does a taxi cost from the airport to the city centre", "is the Russian vaccine against covid 19 valid"...

Looking through the Russian window: Freeing Ukraine from itself

The "United Russian People" is watching on television how Volnovakha and Marijupolj were razed to the ground not by Russian rockets, but by the Ukrainian army and above all by neo-Nazis, that in the basements and subways in Kharkiv citizens are not hiding from Russian bombs but, again, from neo-Nazis, that that the Russian army did not target the maternity hospital in Mariupol, but that the Azov regiment did it, that the Russian soldiers finally freed the Ukrainians and gave them humanitarian aid with a capital letter "Z" on the boxes and the inscription "let's not abandon ours". And since those Ukrainians, most of whose mother tongue is Russian, cannot welcome the "liberators" with bread and salt, it is increasingly heard that they are either "brainwashed" or "all those in Ukraine are like that - prone to Nazism".

Russia is not Putin: Justice for the Russian people

Just as Serbia was never Slobodan Milosevic, neither is Russia Vladimir Putin. She is on the streets and in the newsrooms of independent media. And those who defend the Russian invasion in Serbia are not real Russophiles, but Putinophiles. They have nothing to do with real Russian culture. Kandinsky, Malevich, Platonov, Stravinsky mean nothing to them. They are much closer to the rulers of the Romanov dynasty, Rasputin or Stalin

The Battle for Kiev: Alone Against Russia

It is absurd that it would be in the interest of Russia, as well as the West, to end the war as quickly as possible, at least from the Western point of view, no matter how painful it may be, with the defeat of Ukraine and the installation of a pro-Russian government. If the bloody conflict with many civilian casualties drags on, both sides will be forced to raise the stakes. In resisting the Russian invasion, Ukrainians were left to fend for themselves. If NATO intervened directly, the world would be on the brink of war with unforeseeable consequences
