Car crash, typically by a truck, has been typical method of liquidation in countries where is preferable to abstain from obvious murders.

Its not too difficult imo to see why FSB would have murdered him. The Russian leadership are scared enough that they are now passing laws against "encroaching on the life of a public figure" , they are passing new anti extremism laws etc. These were announced in the context of protecting the military but lets be real, the military has public support right now. Its specifically the political class that people are getting pissed about, take Dugins recent remarks for example. Sure he walked back what he said but its a bad sign for Russias elite that he even went there to begin with.

But right, you have see this haven't you Roy?

The Russian authorities apparently are worried about a possible insurrection enough to make some new laws. It looks to me like they are scared of a military coup and they should be. The military is the one group in Russia where I can easily see the population supporting a seizure of power.

If my theory there is true than I would be surprised if FSB wasnt getting proactive in murdering public figures who were criticizing Moscow too much. All the stuff about the negotiations that coincided with abandoning Kherson, the economic concessions to Russia, the growing public anger at the authorities, new laws against insurrection and protecting public figures all of this coinciding with Stremousovs death looks suspicious. I mean maybe Stremousov really was harmless, but seems the authorities are scared and when they are scared they will do stuff like murder patriots.

First of all, its Rolo.

Second of all, I haven't.

Yeah I wouldn't mind a military junta. It would be an improvement for sure.

Not a good sign if our only hope is a "military junta" - the very idea seems so "last century" - when even was the last military coup in a major country? (i.e. not counting the African, etc backwaters)? - Greece - 50 years ago; Argentina - about the same - any others? Point is, that cow may have already left the barn - with globalized financial structures and control - even public health globalized bureaucracies so advanced - the go it alone military junta hardly has a chance - my sense is that they don't even want to give it a try - invested as they are in the global oligarchic project.

Hate to be a nay-sayer and I have no better ideas. Bottom line: got some good colonels ? - Give it go! Good Luck! (fire all the top line public health officials - soon as you can! - nationalize Gamaleya Research - call me if you want more advise.)

My hope has always been military junta.

I can't think of any problem at all that can't be solved with a military junta, frankly.

Most of the famous names that that were assassinated/died there have been free spirits and idealogues [in a good sense]. People that didn't just want to join Russia, but wanted a healthy strong society. It's quite a coincidence.

They let Strelkov go there recently, don't be surprised if a shell "unfortunately" hits his convoy soon.

That would indeed be very convenient.

A typical sovok article.

But I have to admit, I don't know the truth : did the Germans really wanted to put Russians in slavery, as an Himmler document tend to prove ? If yes, it make understandable the actual use of communist symbols, and explain why Russians haven't (and can't have) the same view about fascism and communism as can have a Latvian or a French.

But in, contrary, what if the real german plan was, as they said, "anti-bolshevik crusade" ? I WOULD like to believe in such theory, but I prefer to know the truth than to keep views which comfort myself.

The only Russian whom I can trust in this matter would be you, dear Mr Rolo. Because Sovoks are irelevant, and, here in west, there are simply no data. Tons of infos, for or against, about yid case, but about slavic case ? None.

Would you consider to write articles about the nazis and east war ?

>Would you consider to write articles about the nazis and east war ?

No.

I will however tell you what happened now in brief. Germans wanted to expand East, that much is indisputable. They tried to take lands after Russia's surrender in WWI and they tried the same with WWII. Hitler writes about it in Mein Kampf. Killing off the slav population in death camps though? Total lies.

Germans generally do look down on most Slavs and consider themselves to be the conquerors of Russia via Peter the Great and the Germanization of Russia's elite. Swedes the same because of the Viking ruriks. Poles claim that they also ought to rule Russia. Ukrainians now as well because of Kiev Rus. Its not an uncommon claim.

Within the Reich, you had pro-Russian germans and generally anti-Slav germans. Goebbels, for example, was vocally sympathetic to the Slavs.

Overall, WWII was basically just like Napoleon's invasion of Russia but with tanks and planes. The moral narrative is retarded, but it was a giant continental war that cost Russia dearly and that left its impact in the psyche.

That's a pretty good executive summary of an "east war" article. I had not heard that claim about Goebbels; interesting. My sense is the German animus (and not only among National Socialists) was principally an anti-Bolshevik one (and Bolshevik was just another name for Jews) - tho, of course, there was plenty of anti-slavism in play too. I do know that Goebbels watched the purges in the 1930s closely for signs that the Russians were trying to free themselves from Jewish rule - but by that time the die was cast. In the end, you are entirely correct: Germans wanted to expand East.

From what came the 20/25 millions dead of Russia ?

My hypothesis would be the dirty war against partisans (mostly jewish) behind the front, but I'm not sure this would make the count of deads. (and I agree on immediate execution of partisans, they are illegals warriors on the rule of war).

Really, I would like to read a good book about this eastern war.

Tx for the answer. But I didn't alluded to death camp but about this plan of Himmler to forbid education to Slaves, to make them good low-class workers for the herrenvolk.

My opinion : this is not only monstruous, but also againt the ideals of NS as they could have been implemented to european peoples : nations based on ethnicity, antikikism, social laws for happy workers, and free entreprise, as long as it not menace the state. Politically, an authoritarian system, by far not common with totalitarism.

In this world, slavic states should have lived. But seems to me than Himmler and AH wanted to put to oblivion Czechia, Poland, Serbia and Russia.

And again, that's not my conviction, that's just the only story I have heard about. I would lie someone debunk the Himmler's papers, but never see it.

About German NS errors : not offer peace to France, favorize an NS government (excellent people would have made it). It would have allowed to Germany control of North Africa, a fleet, and 1 million men to defend west coast of Normandy.

Vichy make a deal with USA to betray Germany, and was despised by both resistance movements and by parisian collaborators.

I think that Himmler was anti-Slav. Hitler not so much. Goebbels liked Slavs.
