„Kdyby krokodýli měli trochu rozumu, určitě by vznikl krokodýlismus,“ ironizuje lidskou tendenci vytvářet ideologie a kulty, které často postrádají racionální základ, politolog, překladatel a publicista Alexander Tomský. Současným americkým fenoménem je trumpismus. „Je vysoce racionální z hlediska amerických dějin, protože je to útok na progresivismus. Je to také návrat k americkému patriotismu a k izolacionismu,“ rozebírá Tomský.Všechny díly podcastu Osobnost Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Once again, the Moscow Economics Forum is upon us, and there are some truly bizzare speakers. Like Dugin for example.

Ever since the introduction of 5G cellphone infrastructure, there have been concerns about its potential health effects. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified the 5G radio frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) as a “possible” human carcinogen, but no conclusive research has emerged either way. “We decided to find out what the effect of non-ionizing radiation is on rodents of different ages,” Natalia Krivova, lead researcher at the TSU's Biology and Biophysics Research Institute, said in a statement this week. TSU scientists experimented on male Wistar rats, preferred by scientists for having similar reactions to external stimuli as humans. They tested three different age groups: 5-6 week old rats (corresponding to human adolescents), 10-11 week old (human adults age 40 and up) and rats aged 17-18 weeks (humans 65 and older). All were exposed to RF-EMF frequencies for five weeks, which is equivalent to about four years of human lifespan. The study showed no outward changes between the rats exposed to the radiation and the control group. “However, a more detailed study of the rats' brain tissue after exposure to the 5G antenna revealed a significant change in the ratio of antioxidants and oxidants,” Krivova said. It is still unclear whether the changes will lead to positive or negative changes in the rats' cognitive abilities, or whether their bodies will somehow compensate for the disruption, she added, calling for further research into the subject. The Tomsk study represents the first time scientists have been able to measure the radiation absorption rate on caged rodents, according to the university. The TSU radiophysics team led by Professor Sergey Shipilov designed the 5G antenna for the experiment, and a team led by postgraduate student Ramdas Mazmanazarov developed a method for measuring the absorption rate. Their work was published earlier this year in the journal Applied Sciences. The study was part of the International Electromagnetic Field Project, initiated by the World Health Organization (WHO) to obtain science-based and objective answers to questions of public concern about the possible health risks from 5G electromagnetic fields. According to Krivova, the next stage of research is intended to study female rats and investigate how 5G radiation might affect their offspring, if funding can be secured.

„Německo začne hospodářsky krachovat. Já tam mám sedm neteří a bratra, a to, co mi o Německu vyprávějí, to je horor. Německo začne chudnout.

„My demokracii nemáme. Jestliže o polovině legislativy České republiky rozhodují úředníci v Bruselu, tak nemůžeme mít demokracii. Demokracie znamená národní nezávislost.

„Dnešní rovnost ničí rozdíl mezi muži a ženami, nemají existovat hranice, má být jednotné lidstvo, kde jsou si všichni rovni. Dokonce tvrdí, že i kultury jsou si rovny, což je úplný nesmysl. Rovnostářství zrodila naše civilizace, ale zrodila jej v náboženském kontextu, což vůbec neznamenalo, že bude likvidovat meritorní zásluhovou společnost. Byla to rovnost před zákonem,“ říká Alexander Tomský v rozhovoru pro pořad Kupředu do minulosti. 1. díl, 14.05.2024, www.RadioUniversum.cz

At roughly 15-25-million-year intervals since the Archean, huge volumes of lava have spewed onto the Earth's surface. These form the large igneous provinces, which are called flood basalts when they occur on continents. As Richard Ernst explains in the podcast, the eruption of a large igneous province can initiate the rifting of continents, disrupt the environment enough to cause a mass extinction, and promote mineralization that produces valuable mineral resources. Richard Ernst studies the huge volcanic events called Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) — their structure, distribution, and origin as well as their connection with mineral, metal, and hydrocarbon resources; supercontinent breakup; and mass extinctions. He has also been studying LIP planetary analogues, especially on Venus and Mars. He has written the definitive textbook on the subject. Ernst is Scientist in Residence in the Department of Earth Sciences, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, and Professor in the Faculty of Geology and Geography at Tomsk State University, Tomsk, Russia.

Nakladatel a publicista Alexander Tomský se tvrdě vyjádřil v Press klubu o návratu Davida Camerona do vysoké politiky. Pro premiéra Sunaka to může být hřebík do politické rakve. Řeč byla o protiizraelských demonstracích nejen v Londýně. A také o vztahu Karla III. se synem Harrym, ti se prý mohou usmířit až na smrtelné posteli.

Španělská policie ve spolupráci s francouzskými kolegy a Europolem zatkla šéfa arménské mafie, takzvaného vora v zakoně. Podle informací redakce investigace.cz se jedná o korunovaného vora v zakoně Erika Džaginjana, v kriminálním podsvětí známého jako Ero Tomský. Spolu s Tomským policisté zadrželi dalších 28 členů této zločinecké skupiny. Španělská policie tak pokračuje v boji s ruskojazyčnou mafií, která se v zemi usídlila průběhu nultých let. Proč si postsovětské mafie oblíbili zrovna Španělsko? Kdo jsou jejich šéfové, tzv. vory v zákoně? A jak je na tom co se ruskojazyčných mafií týče Česko?

Au début des années 1930, Staline entend contrôler l'exode rural en surveillant de près les populations qui quittent les campagnes. Il en profite pour exiler, notamment vers la Sibérie, tous ceux qu'il juge "indésirables" et parmi lesquels figurent les petits paysans, victimes de la collectivisation, les délinquants ou même les vagabonds. Ces populations devaient participer à la mise en valeur de la Sibérie, mais sans que rien soit mis en place pour les accueillir. Ces pratiques s'inscrivent dans un contexte plus large de répression massive, marquée par l'organisation probable de la grande famine frappant l'Ukraine en 1932-1933, et l'instauration, en 1937-1938, de la Grande Terreur, au cours de laquelle plus d'1,5 million de personnes furent exécutées ou déportées. C'est dans ces circonstances qu'en 1933, environ 6.000 déportés sont abandonnés sur la petite île de Nazino, qui se trouve sur le fleuve Ob. Il s'agit d'une région isolée de la Sibérie occidentale, à quelque 800 kilomètres de Tomsk. Les gens débarqués sur l'île sont, pour l'essentiel, de petits paysans, victimes de la politique répressive de Staline, qui les a privés de leurs biens et déportés. Ils sont laissés sur cette île inhospitalière sans autre nourriture qu'un peu de farine. On ne leur distribue pas non plus d'outils, d'eau potable ou de vêtements chauds pour faire face à un climat très rude. Et l'île ne dispose d'aucun abri où auraient pu se réfugier ces malheureux. Les déportés sont surveillés par des gardes, qui sont rapidement dépassés par la situation. Dans de telles conditions de vie, le pire ne pouvait qu'arriver. La consommation de l'eau du fleuve provoque des maladies. Affamés, des déportés décident de tuer certains de leurs compagnons d'infortune pour les manger. Des dizaines de cas de cannibalisme ont ainsi été rapportés. Les historiens estiment qu'environ 4.000 déportés, sur les 6.000 arrivés dans l'île, ont payé de leur vie ces épouvantables conditions de détention. Le rapport établi par la commission mise en place par le parti communiste local ne sera publié qu'en 2002, par les soins d'une organisation non gouvernementale russe.

Sau 13 tháng chiến tranh Ukraina, uranium của Nga không bị trừng phạt. Khác hẳn với ngành dầu khí, sản xuất và xuất khẩu uranium của tập đoàn năng lượng hạt nhân Rosatom không hề sụt giảm. Matxcơva không dám động đến uranium để bắt chẹt các khách hàng phương Tây cho dù Mỹ lệ thuộc đến 25 % vào thị trường Nga và Liên Âu thì tăng tốc phát triển điện hạt nhân để thay thế các nguồn năng lượng hóa thạch. Làm sao giải thích uranium Nga « bất khả xâm phạm » ? Để trả lời các câu hỏi trên, RFI tiếng Việt mời giáo sư Teva Meyer, chuyên nghiên cứu về yếu tố địa chính trị trong các hồ sơ hạt nhân sử dụng trong các lĩnh vực dân sự và quân sự, đại học Haute Alsace, tham gia chương trình. Tháng 2/2023 Teva Meyer vừa ra mắt độc giả cuốn Géopolitique du nucléaire -Hạt nhân và địa chính trị, NXB Cavalier Bleu. Sau tai nạn nhà máy điện hạt nhân Fukushima, Nhật Bản vào tháng 3/2011 uranium liên tục mất giá. Ngay cả Kazakhstan, nơi bảo đảm 45 % sản xuất cho toàn cầu trong gần một chục năm đã cân nhắc và chỉ đầu tư một cách có chọn lọc vào một số công trường. Sản xuất của Mỹ đến năm 2021 giảm 95 % so với một thập niên trước đó. 2022 là một « bước ngoặt » : giá uranium trong các hợp đồng mua bán dài hạn tăng 20 % trong vòng sáu tháng. Lý do : Trung Quốc, Nhật Bản và Nga khởi động những dự án phát triển điện hạt nhân. Hai tuần trước chiến tranh Ukraina, tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron đề ra mục tiêu xây dựng 6 lò phản ứng thế hệ mới từ nay đến 2050 và lò phản ứng đầu tiên trong số đó sẽ bắt đầu hoạt động từ 2035. Tháng 2/2022 Matxcơva đưa quân xâm lược Ukraina, khiến từ châu Âu đến Hoa Kỳ lại càng quan tâm hơn đến mục tiêu phát triển điện hạt nhân để giảm bớt lệ thuộc vào dầu khí, than đá của Nga. Tại Washington chính quyền Biden tăng tốc đầu tư cho ngành công nghiệp uranium. Tại châu Âu, mỏ uranium ở Slovakia hoạt động tấp nập trở lại. Giáo sư Teva Meyer đại học Haute-Alsace trước hết nhắc lại một số đặc điểm của uranium với ngành điện hạt nhân. « Quặng uranium phải trải qua bốn công đoạn thì mới trở thành những thanh nhiên liệu để tạo ra năng lượng hạt nhân. Nếu như các mỏ dầu hỏa hay khí đốt chỉ tập trung ở một số nơi, thì ngược lại, uranium là một nguyên tố rất phổ biến trên vỏ của trái đất. Tuy nhiên, có nhiều chênh lệch về giá cả khi khai thác các mỏ uranium. Do vậy thị trường uranium hiện tại tập trung vào một số quốc gia, trên thế giới có 15 nước sản xuất uranium tự nhiên. Đứng đầu Kazakhastan và Ouzbekistan ở Trung Á, kế tới là Úc và Canada. Ở châu Phi, nguồn sản xuất quan trọng nhất là Namibie ». Bí quyết thành công của Nga Trong một nghiên cứu gần đây, Teva Meyer cho thấy các quặng uranium hiện diện trên khoảng 53 quốc gia khác nhau, nhưng chỉ có hơn một chục nước trong số đó khai thác nguyên tố này. Nếu như chỉ một mình Kazakhstan chiếm 45 % sản xuất của toàn cầu, Ouzbekistan là 7 % thì nước Nga của Vladimir Putin với vỏn vẹn 5 %, một tỷ lệ không đủ để bảo đảm nhu cầu tiêu thụ nội địa, nhưng Nga lại là một mắt xích quan trọng trong dây chuyền năng lượng hạt nhân của thế giới. Chuyên gia Teva Meyer giải thích bí quyết nào đã đưa nước Nga vào vị trí trung tâm như vậy:« Nga sản xuất rất, rất ít uranium và phải nhập khẩu gần như toàn bộ nguyên liệu này từ Kazakhstan để đáp ứng nhu cầu nội địa về điện hạt nhân. Đặc điểm của Nga là ở chỗ, dù phải nhập khẩu đến 95 % uranium nhưng quốc gia này lại làm chủ công đoạn tinh chế và nhất là kỹ thuật là giàu uranium. Nhờ bí quyết ấy Nga xuất khẩu trở lại uranium dưới dạng uranium được làm giàu và thanh nhiên liệu cho phần còn lại trên thế giới. Toàn bộ các nhà máy điện hạt nhân trên lãnh thổ Nga sử dụng uranium nhập khẩu của Kazakhstan. Tất cả những hợp đồng cung cấp uranium và thanh nhiên liệu cho các đối tác quốc tế của Nga tùy thuộc vào khối lượng uranium do Kazakhstan cung cấp cho Nga. Nước Nga làm chủ 2 trong số 4 công đoạn then chốt để uranium có thể được đưa vào sử dụng trong các nhà máy điện hạt nhân. Hai khâu đó gồm : làm giàu uranium và chế biến uranium được làm giàu thành những viên bỏ vào những cái ống và chúng được gọi là những thanh nhiên liệu. Trong cả hai lĩnh vực này, Nga chiếm lợi thế bởi hai lý do : thứ nhất là giá thành sản xuất tại Nga rất thấp –chỉ bằng phân nửa so với ở những nơi khác trên thế giới như (ở Mỹ hay Pháp trước kia chẳng hạn). Lý do thứ nhì là nhân công cũng như giá năng lượng của Âu-Mỹ đắt hơn rất nhiều so với ở Nga ». « Giá thành rẻ » : Mỹ không dám trừng phạt uranium của NgaNgay từ tháng 3/2022 các tập đoàn năng lượng hạt nhân của Mỹ đã ra sức vận động chính quyền Biden duy trì tất cả các hợp đồng với Rosatom. Mỹ lệ thuộc đến 25 % vào uranium được làm giàu của Nga. Tháng 8/2022 tổ chức bảo vệ môi trường Greenpeace cho biết trong Pháp vẫn nhập khẩu 210 tấn uranium được làm giàu của Nga, tương tự hồi 2021. Cũng Greenpeace hôm 11/03/2023 công bố một báo cáo về « mức độ lệ thuộc của Pháp vào Rosatom ».Thêm một lá chủ bài khác của Nga : Rosatom là tập đoàn duy nhất có khả năng cung cấp thanh nhiên liệu cho một số các nhà máy điện hạt nhân châu Âu. Lý do : « Nga nắm giữ bí quyết ở khâu cuối cùng », trước khi uranium được làm giàu dưới dạng một thứ bột màu đen được hun đúc lại thành từng viên bi với kích cỡ đặc biệt. Những viên bi đó được cho vào một những cái ống kim loại, mà người ta gọi là « thanh nhiên liệu ». Vấn đề đặt ra theo như giải thích của Teva Meyer « mỗi thanh nhiên liệu đã được cân đong đo đếm để sử dụng cho 1 kiểu lò phản ứng ». Chỉ có Rosatom mới có những viên uranium thích hợp với các lò phản ứng mà Rosatom đã xây dựng cho các khách hàng. Nói một cách đơn giản Phần Lan, Solvakia hay Hungary, Séc sử dụng lò phản ứng VVER-400 của Nga nên bắt buộc phải dùng thanh nhiên liệu do Nga cung cấp. Cộng Hòa Séc đã mất đến 7 năm mà vẫn chưa tìm được giải pháp thay thế cho những thanh nhiên liệu, những viên uranium được làm giàu của Nga. Nga cũng sợ « bỏng tay »Thế còn về phía Nga : nếu như đã chiếm một vị trí then chốt như vậy trên thị trường uranium và nhất là trong lĩnh vực cung cấp các thanh nhiên liệu cho các nhà máy điện hạt nhân trên thế giới thì tại sao trong bối cảnh chiến tranh Ukraina, tổng thống Vladimir Putin không ra lệnh cho Rosatom « trừng phạt » các khách hàng, như Gazprom đã từng khóa van cung cấp dầu khí cho các đối tác châu Âu  ? Giáo sư Meyer đại học Haute-Alsace trả lời : « Nga không dám bởi hai lý do. Một là thế giới hiện nay thừa sức và thừa khả năng làm giàu uranium. Điều đó có nghĩa nếu muốn, ngay lập tức các nhà máy tại châu Âu hay ở Mỹ đều có thể khởi động lại trong một sớm một chiều và như vậy các bên sẽ không bị lệ thuộc vào những hợp đồng đã ký kết với tập đoàn Rosatom của Nga nữa. Matxcơva không có lợi ích gì khi dùng uranium như một công cụ để bắt bí phương Tây như họ đã làm với dầu hỏa hay khí đốt. Lý do thứ nhì là uranium của Nga rất dễ để chuyển đến các thị trường khác trên thế giới. Có nghĩa là bất kỳ một quốc gia nào cũng có thể nhanh chóng tìm một nguồn cung cấp khác để thay thế vào chỗ mà các tập đoàn Nga để lại vì ở đây chúng ta không bị ràng buộc vì những hệ thống đường ống dẫn dầu hay đường ống dẫn khí đốt chôn trong lòng đại dương hay trên mặt đất… ».1 tấn uranium = 3 triệu tấn than đá Vẫn giáo sư Teva Meyer trong một bài tham luận gần đây đưa ra những con số cụ thể để so sánh : Chẳng hạn như tại Pháp, một lò phản ứng trung bình tiêu thu 1 mét khối uranium một năm. Để có được một khối lượng điện tương đương, thì người ta cần đến 3 triệu tấn than đá. Một mét khối chất uranium được làm giàu, rất dễ để vận chuyển kể cả bằng đường hàng không, tránh xung đột quân sự trên mặt đất. Trong các cuộc xung đột tại Ukraina hồi 2014 và nhất là từ năm ngoái, Rosatom vẫn đều đặn cung cấp uranium cho các nhà máy điện hạt nhân Hungary, Séc và Slovakia bằng đường hàng không. « Mỗi chuyến bay chở một khối lượng đủ để cho 1 lò phản ứng tại những nơi này hoạt động trong vòng 1 năm ».   Uranium : giới hạn đặt ở phía « cầu » Nói như vậy tham vọng phát triển điện hạt nhân của Pháp và nhiều nước châu Âu khác, cũng như của Mỹ không sợ bị giới hạn vì nguồn cung cấp uranium ? Teva Meyer nhận định: « Tôi không nghĩ rằng những quốc gia muốn phát triển năng lượng hạt nhân bị cản trở vì sợ thiếu uranium. Chúng ta đã tập trung vào trường hợp của Nga, một nhà cung cấp nhiên liệu cho các lò phản ứng hạt nhân trên thế giới. Đó là về phía cung. Nhưng nhìn về phía cầu, đây cũng sẽ là một vấn đề. Bởi ngoài Pháp ra, nhiều quốc gia khác trên thế giới cũng đang muốn phát triển điện hạt nhân để bớt lệ thuộc vào các nguồn năng lượng hóa thạch. Tôi muốn nói đến trường hợp của Trung Quốc và Ấn Độ. Nếu như cùng một lúc, cả thế giới lao vào cuộc chạy đua phát triển điện hạt nhân thì mọi người đều tranh giành uranium giá rẻ của Nga. Đó mới thực sự là một vấn đề. Thành thử, Nga là một yếu tố then chốt trên thị trường uranium nhưng đừng quên rằng đang có những quốc gia khác trên tế giới rất cần uranium cho cuộc chạy đua phát triển điện hạt nhân ».   Do thế giới không khan hiếm uranium, nguyên tố này lại không tập trung tại một số nơi trên mặt đất, do không bị ràng buộc ở các khâu vận chuyển, các nhà máy làm giàu uranium, các nhà điện hạt nhân có thể lắp đặt ở bất kỳ nơi nào (miễn là ngoài các vành đai lửa của động đất).Nga dù không có nhiều quặng uranium nhưng vẫn có thể trở thành tâm điểm của thị trường này nhờ công nghệ làm giàu uranium và chế tạo thanh nhiên liệu phục vụ cho các lò phản ứng hạt nhân. Phương Tây không dám đưa uranium Nga vào danh sách trừng phạt. Matxcơva thì biết rõ những giới hạn nếu dùng uranium sử dụng trong lĩnh vực dân sự như một vũ khí phục vụ các mục tiêu chiến lược. Dù không hoàn toàn lệ thuộc vào uranium của Nga nhưng, đối với các tập đoàn điện lược trên thế giới đã trang bị lò phản ứng của Rosatom, không dễ để thoát Nga. Ngoài bí quyết chế biến uranium được làm giàu thành thanh nhiên liệu, Nga còn làm chủ công nghệ tái xử lý các thanh nhiên liệu này. Chỉ có 4 % thanh nhiên liệu bị xếp vào hạng « rác thải hạt nhân ». Trong trường hợp của Pháp, tuy không lệ thuộc vào uranium tự nhiên của Nga, và có công nghệ làm giàu uranium nhưng tập đoàn Điện Lực Quốc Gia đã chọn  trao khâu « tái xử lý » các thanh nhiên liệu trong lò phản ứng trên lãnh thổ quốc gia cho nhà máy Seversk, đặt tại Tomsk trong vùng Siberie. Seversk là một chi nhánh trực thuộc Rosatom.

I was honoured to speak with the inspiring singer, composer, choir leader, pianist and cultural activist Polina Shepherd. In this episode you'll hear Polina's stories from growing up in Tartarstan, in the former Soviet Union, finding a bridge to her Jewish identity through Klezmer music, collaborating with her mentors, founding Yiddish and Russian choirs in the U.K., and many other creative projects. During the episode she sings songs from different traditions, including one of her compositions, and is such a warm and engaging speaker I trust a wide audience will find inspiration and food for thought in her perspectives on education, mentorship, creativity, health, identity, connection and collaboration.

Liz Trussová rezignovala na funkci britské premiérky. Novinářům to oznámila po dnešním jednání s nejvyššími představiteli Konzervativní strany. V úřadu byla něco málo přes šest týdnů. V čele vlády zůstane, dokud konzervativci nezvolí svého nového vůdce či vůdkyni. „Nečekal jsem to, ale říkal jsem, že by byl zázrak, kdyby vydržela ještě měsíc. Ta krize už nabírala strašlivé obrátky,” říká pro Rádio ZET politolog Alexander Tomský. 

En rad ryska affärsledare har dött under oklara omständigheter bara sen i januari. Hör varför hela Vladimir Putins tid vid makten har präglats av oförklarliga dödsfall, mord och förgiftningar. Nyligen föll den ryske oljeföretagaren Ravil Maganov från ett sjukhusfönster i Moskva. Omständigheterna runt hans död är oklara vissa anser att det kan ha varit självmord medan andra ifrågasätter den versionen. Maganov var styrelseordförande i oljejätten Lukoil, ett av de ryska företag som öppet kritiserat Putins invasion av Ukraina. Hittills under 2022 har minst åtta höjdare inom affärsvärlden i Ryssland dött under mystiska omständigheter, flera av dem har hittats döda i sina hem både i Ryssland och utomlands.Mordet på Dugins dotterI slutet av augusti dödades dottern till den ryske ultranationalistiske filosofen och ideologen Alexander Dugin i ett attentat. När den 29-åriga journalisten Daria Dugina dog efter att att en bomb utlösts i hennes bil började spekulationerna om att den verkliga måltavlan kunde ha varit hennes far den politiske filosofen Alexander Dugin. Dottern kom från en kulturfestival där hennes pappa hållit ett föredrag. Ryssland hävdade snabbt att Ukraina låg bakom dådet, något Ukraina förnekat. Fortfarande är detaljerna runt hennes död oklara och omgärdas av stor ryktesspridning. Både Dugin och hans dotter finns på sanktionslistor i flera västerländska länder, bland annat eftersom att Dugin spridit desinformation om UkrainaFörgiftningar av oppositionellaBland de mest kända mordförsöken var när oppositionsledaren Alexander Navalnyj år 2020 plötsligt insjuknade på ett plan på väg från Tomsk i Sibirien till Moskva. Det visade sig att nervgiftet Novitjok lagts i Navalnyjs kalsonger. Efter att Navalnyj fått intensivvård överlevde han, men han har senare fängslats. Även utomlands har regimkritiska ryssar förgiftats. År 2018 förgiftades Sergej Skripal och hans dotter Julia, också med nervgiftet Novitjok i Salisbury i England. Bägge överlevde. År 2006 dog den avhoppade ryska agenten Alexander Litvinenko efter att han druckit polonium-spetsat te i London. Enligt Europadomstolen låg Ryssland bakom mordet. Hör om en rad mystiska dödsfall och mordförsök under Putins tid vid makten.Medverkande: Maria Persson Löfgren, Rysslandskorrespondent, Inga Näslund, Palmecentret, Johan Molander, tidigare diplomat och ambassadör i MoskvaProgramledare: Fredrik WadströmProducent: Katja MagnussonTekniker: Alma Segeholm

Lékaři dnes ráno vyšetřili britskou královnu Alžbětu II. a její zdravotní stav je znepokojil. Šestadevadesátiletá panovnice nyní pobývá na svém zámku Balmoral ve Skotsku. ,,Zpráva je velice vážná. Do zámku Balmor se sjela celá královská rodina,” říká odborník na Velkou Británii Alexander Tomský.

„Staré přísloví říká: „Potkáš-li kde spasitele, nakopni ho do prdele.“ To je přesně ono. Chtějí nám zase spasit náš svět, který je krásný, který jsme vybudovali, který ustavil individuální a podnikatelskou svobodu s politickým řádem. A dokonce s rovností všech lidí před Bohem a před zákonem. Dokonce ustavil svět meritokracie, kde zásluhy znamenají hierarchii, kterou chce dnešní spravedlnost zbourat, a úplně zbořit,“ říká o progresivistickém útoku na tradice a instituce euroatlantické civilizace politolog Alexander Tomský v závěrečném díle rozhovoru pro pořad Kupředu do minulosti. 3. díl, 17.07.2022, www.RadioUniversum.cz

„Západ není za Ukrajinu ochoten bojovat, a musí tedy Putinovi jasně ukázat, že hranice NATO jsou svaté, neporušitelné. Ale Ukrajinu je zřejmě potřeba donutit ke kompromisům, které tam nevidím, které tam prostě nejsou, a pořád mluví o Krymu a Donbasu, že patří jim. A to je problém,“ říká politolog Alexandr Tomský v pokračování rozhovoru pro pořad Kupředu do minulosti. 2. díl, 10.07.2022, www.RadioUniversum.cz

„Západ je přece na první pohled strašně slabý. Skládá se z 50 států a národů, nikdy se nesjednotil, ani proti Turkům, ani proti Mongolům, nikdy toho nebyl schopen, ale vždycky všechno nakonec vyhrál. Kdežto diktatura, tedy snaha řídit všechno seshora, a navíc diktatura zkorumpované oligarchie, vede k tomu, jak ruská armáda vypadá,“ říká politolog Alexandr Tomský v rozhovoru pro pořad Kupředu do minulosti. 1. díl, 03.07.2022, www.RadioUniversum.cz

Our guest on the podcast this week is Varvara Pakhomenko. Varvara Pakhomenko has been a human rights activist for a very long time. Back in her native Tomsk she was actively involved in human rights activities. Having moved to Moscow, Varvara began working with many human rights activists in the capital, but the geography of her travels remained very wide. Since 2006, Varvara Pakhomenko has worked in conflict zones in the North and South Caucasus: in 2006-2009 at the human rights organization Demos, in 2009-2011 at the Dutch organization Russian Justice Initiative, and since 2011 she has worked as a programme analyst for Europe and Central Asia at the International Crisis Group. When the Russian authorities effectively closed the ICG's Moscow office, Varvara left to work in Ukraine. There she worked first for the UN Development Programme and after that for Geneva Call. A move to Canada seemed to put some distance between her and Europe, but now Varvara Pakhomenko is back again on the old continent. The recording took place on 24 June 2022. This podcast is in Russian. You can also listen to the podcast on our website, SoundCloud, Podcasts.com, Spotify, iTunes, Google Podcasts, Anchor and YouTube. You can also listen to the podcast in full here (see also below): The questions we ask Varvara Pakhomenko include: · How did human rights activism come into your life? · One of Tomsk's leading human rights activists was Boris Maksovich Kreindel. He was involved in many projects, including defending the rights of Roma in Tomsk region. How did it happen that he had to leave his native land? · Tell us about your work in the conflict zones in the Caucasus – where did you work? To what extent was it dangerous? · Which Moscow human rights activists and which organizations have you worked with in Russia? · When and why did you decide to move to Ukraine? · How does the human rights movement in Ukraine differ from that in Russia? · At least since 2012 the Russian authorities have pursued policies of increasing restrictions on human rights work in the country, attacks on freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and a general moved towards isolationism. Do you think they have been preparing for the war against Ukraine for a long time? · What has been your role at the UNDP and Geneva Call? · How has the Ukrainian army changed since 2014. How do you assess the Ukrainian military's compliance with international humanitarian law and with the rules and customs of warfare? · How do you see the future of human rights in Russia and the future of human rights organizations? Sergei Nikitin writes on Facebook: “I remember when I was working on South Ossetia in 2010,” Varya Pakhomenko told Simon Cosgrove and I. “I had to make a difficult decision at the time: I did not know what to do. I called Sasha Cherkasov and asked him what to do in this situation. Sasha replied: ‘You know, no one can make this decision better than you right now. Because you know all that's going on there better than anyone.' And at that moment I realized that these fine people had begun to see me as an equal colleague.” In this podcast, Varya Pakhomenko talks about her native Tomsk, about Tomsk human rights activist Boris Kreindel, and about how a student from Siberia became a human rights activist. Varya and I were in South Ossetia together two weeks after the end of the war in 2008, so I had a chance to work with her myself then. After Russia, Varvara Pakhomenko has worked in Ukraine: in the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and, after that, with the Geneva Call organization. It was then that she participated in training the Ukrainian Armed Forces, teaching the Ukrainian military how to comply with international humanitarian norms and protect civilians in armed conflict.

S Alexandrem Tomským se znám 33 let. Navštívil jsem ho poprvé v roce 1989 jako jednadvacetiletý student  u něj doma v anglickém Purley na jihu Londýna. Byl jedním z osmi exilových nakladatelů české literatury. Nejmladší, je ročník 1947, a jak říká, dnes je z nich poslední naživu. Po návratu do bývalého Československa pokračoval ve vydávání knih, zbohatl, pak zchudl, má celkem deset dětí s třemi ženami, a jako penzista si přivydělává psaním a překládáním. Přeložil například knížky dvou britských konzervativců: již zesnulého Rogera Scrutona a Douglasa Murrayho, současné hvězdy pravicové intelektuální elity. Právě o konzervatismu jsme spolu mluvili: jaké má kořeny a s čím se dnes potýká. Zajímal mě názor Alexandra Tomského na některé významné konzervativce: namátkou Donalda Trumpa, Václava Klause, Borise Johnsona nebo Petra Fialy.Zajímalo mě, jak si vysvětluje, že část pravice, zejména v Americe, realtivizuje ruskou invazi a válku na Ukrajině, a proč se v tomto postoj konzervativců liší. Zajímalo mě, kde on sám vidí východisko. “Velkoruský imperialismus musí dostat po držce,” říká Tomský, avšak celý problém popisuje jako složitý a historický propletený.A samozřejmě jsme se dotkli i oblíbeného tématu konzervativců i Alexandra Tomského, a tím je krize Západu, způsobená nástupem tzv. progresivismu. “Intelligence, a zejména ta humanitní, je velmi náchylna na nemoc rozumu. Mezi inženýry tolik progresivistů nenajdete,” říká Tomský.On sám je skeptický a obává se, že západní civilizace svou existenční válku prohraje a je odsouzená k zániku. Cituje však názor svého syna, který mu oponuje a tvrdí, že svoboda a individualismus Západu jsou nakažlivé, a to i pro kultury, které se - uzavřeny do sebe - staví k Západu nesmiřitelně.O tom všem jsme mluvili: také o smyslu života i o tom, proč je důležité respektovat, že různí lidé mají různé názory.Děkuji, že posloucháte.

La Cour suprême à Moscou a ordonné la dissolution de l'ONG, pilier de la défense des libertés. Ce procès, dans la forme, a bel et bien traité de la loi sur les « agents de l'étranger », des soi-disant violations répétées de cette loi par l'ONG. Mais pour le journal Libération, « Ce qui s'est joué, était l'affrontement de deux visions de l'histoire soviétique et de deux légitimités à raconter. Celle de l'État russe, qui se veut l'héritier de l'URSS et le tenant d'une histoire débarrassée de ses aspérités, uniformément héroïque et appuyée sur le mythe fondateur de la victoire de 1945. Contre celle d'une partie de la société civile, héritiers de la glasnost, tenants du devoir d'inventaire et de mémoire sur les pages sombres de l'histoire soviétique. » Le travail de mémoire « Cette association d'historiens, fondée à la fin des années 80, veut répondre à la soif de vérité de la société russe d'alors », détaille Libération. « Les archives du KGB s'ouvrent, des millions de familles veulent enfin savoir ce qu'il est advenu d'un père, un grand-père, un oncle, disparu dans les rouages du goulag. » « Une vérité qui ne peut jamais être annihilée » explique le président de Mémorial-France, Nicolas Werth. Il dit ne pas être surpris par la décision de la justice russe, mais préfère « insister sur une lueur d'optimisme : la liquidation prendra beaucoup de temps, il y a peut-être la possibilité de faire appel. Et surtout, ce travail de mémoire, d'histoire, est fait, a été numérisé, archivé, il est là et ne peut plus disparaître. On ne peut pas gommer comme ça, d'un trait, 30 ans de travail. » peut-on lire dans Libération.  L'aboutissement d'une longue séquence du durcissement du régime « Un durcissement vis-à-vis des voix discordantes » analyse Le Figaro. « Un tournant net a été pris depuis 2019 avec les manifestations contre les résultats des élections locales à Moscou. Et surtout depuis 2020 et le traitement de l'opposant Alexei Navalny actuellement emprisonné après avoir été empoisonné » rappelle Le Figaro. « Des militants pro-Navalny ont été arrêtés et condamnés dans les régions. Ses bras droits ont dû quitter le pays. Mardi, on apprenait l'arrestation de la coordinatrice de son mouvement à Tomsk. Elle risque douze de prison pour extrémisme. » Mémorial promet de continuer à travailler, mais ce sera sans Iouri Dimitriev. Le militant qui a notamment révélé l'existence d'immenses charniers staliniens a été accusé de pédopornographie en 2016 et vient d'être condamné à 15 ans de prison. La liquidation de Mémorial provoque une onde de choc Le journal Le Monde juge que pour l'heure, seules les antennes internationales de Mémorial, notamment en France, en Allemagne, en Belgique, en Italie paraissent intouchables. Le Monde qui relate de nombreuses réactions indignées, notamment celle du chef de la diplomatie française : « c'est une terrible perte pour le peuple russe qui a le droit de bénéficier d'une connaissance juste de son passé et d'une société fondée sur les valeurs fondamentales portées par le Conseil de l'Europe. » Berlin lui a emboîté le pas en jugeant « plus qu'incompréhensible » le verdict de la Cour suprême russe. Mais la réaction la plus cinglante, lance Le Monde vient sans doute du directeur du Mémorial d'Auschwitz « Un pouvoir qui a peur de la mémoire n'atteindra jamais de maturité démocratique. » Économie : le cri d'alarme des entreprises Après les particuliers, c'est au tour des milieux économiques de subir la flambée des tarifs de l'électricité et du gaz écrit Aujourd'hui en France. Le gaz est six fois plus cher que l'année dernière, et l'électricité 5 fois plus chère. De quoi inquiéter le patron de l'Union des industries utilisatrices d'énergie. : « Cela se conjugue avec des difficultés d'approvisionnement.

Russian police reportedly detained as many as five former activists from Alexey Navalny's disbanded political network on Tuesday, December 28. According to various reports, arrests were carried out in the cities of Tomsk, Irkutsk, Arkhangelsk, Barnaul, and Saratov (though not all of the detentions have been confirmed). Following interrogations, investigators brought criminal charges against two of the detained activists -- former regional coordinators Ksenia Fadeeva and Zakhar Sarapulov -- for involvement in an extremist group and participation in a nonprofit organization that infringes on the rights of citizens. Both Fadeeva and Sarapulov were arraigned on Tuesday and placed under restrictions pending trial. Original Article: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2021/12/28/retroactive-repression

He is Russian President Vladimir Putin's most determined and outspoken opponent. He was nearly poisoned to death in 2020. Today, Alexei Navalny is in prison and Russia has changed a great deal. A five-part AFP podcast series.   Episode #5 Exile We fly to Lithuania, which has become a refuge for Russian opposition figures in exile because of repression in their own country. From there they try to convince Russians and the world to take action against President Vladimir Putin's government. In Siberia, other Kremlin critics see themselves as in a form of internal exile. As European leaders struggle over how to deal with Russia, mixing sanctions with dialogue, we ask: What does the future hold for Russia, and for its opposition?   Sources  Vladimir Milov, Russian opposition politician who has worked with Alexei Navalny; Pyotr Tolstoy, vice-president of the State Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament; Vladimir Kara-Murza, opposition politician;  Danute Gailiene, professor of psychology at the University of Vilnius ; Jacques Maire, member of French parliament and of President Emmanuel Macron's “En Marche!” party.  Viktor Muchnik, chief editor of independent Russian media outlet TV2 in Tomsk.

We retrace Alexei Navalny's steps in Siberia during the last moments of his ‘previous' life, in the city of Tomsk where he was poisoned. A few hours later, he would feel what he described as ‘the kiss of death'. ‘It was terrifying. I started to feel that I couldn't breathe anymore,' recounts Vladimir Kara-Murza, another opposition figure who was poisoned. Who poisoned Alexei Navalny? Agnes Callamard, the former UN rapporteur on the poisoning, has little doubt…   With interviews of  Vladimir Kara-Murza, opposition member twice poisoned; Agnes Callamard, Amnesty International Secretary General and former UN rapporteur on the poisoning; Ksenya Fadeeva, local official who saw Navalny the day before he was poisoned; Sergei Lavrov (archives), foreign minister; Aric Toler, member of the Bellingcat investigation team; Theresa May (archives); Vladimir Putin (archives); Alexei Navalny (archives)  Credits Authors: Jonathan Brown and Andrea Palasciano in Moscow, Antoine Boyer and Sarah-Lou Lepers in Paris.

Prose plans on featuring Ms. Lambert on at least one more story.  If I can convince her to continue pursuing voice acting, narration, and sound editing, we'll see her popping up even more often. That would be a win for us all!   The track behind this story comes from MusOpen at musopen.org.

For now, we'll move along to a story by our beloved guest author Nicholas B. Morris.
