C dans l'air du 2 juin 2025 - Opération "Toile d'araignée": Kiev humilie Moscou - L'intégrale -Une attaque spectaculaire, digne d'un film d'espionnage. Dimanche 1er juin, l'Ukraine a lancé une série de frappes contre des bases aériennes russes, situées parfois à plusieurs milliers de kilomètres du front. Des drones kamikazes, préalablement infiltrés sur le sol russe, ont visé des cibles aussi éloignées que la Sibérie orientale. Bilan provisoire : 41 avions détruits, dont plusieurs radars aéroportés A-50, selon les autorités ukrainiennes.Baptisée "Toile d'araignée", l'opération aurait été préparée en secret pendant plus d'un an et demi, sous la supervision directe du président Volodymyr Zelensky. D'après les services de renseignement ukrainiens, l'attaque aurait neutralisé 34 % des bombardiers stratégiques russes et causé jusqu'à 7 milliards de dollars de pertes à l'aviation russe.Côté russe, Moscou a reconnu des incendies sur plusieurs appareils. Sur Telegram, des sources proches du Kremlin rapportent une série d'explosions dans au moins six régions : Voronej, Koursk, Lipetsk, Riazan, Ivanovo et Volgograd. Des vidéos largement relayées sur les réseaux sociaux montrent des avions en feu, de puissantes détonations, et d'immenses colonnes de fumée noire s'élevant dans le ciel. "Ils parlent déjà d'un Pearl Harbor russe. C'est absolument inédit", a commenté le journaliste Cyrille Amoursky sur X.Cette attaque d'envergure survient à un moment clé. Elle a eu lieu à la veille de la reprise des pourparlers entre la Russie et l'Ukraine, ce lundi, en Turquie. Mais le climat géopolitique est loin de l'apaisement : des mouvements massifs de troupes russes sont observés depuis plusieurs semaines en Biélorussie, mais aussi à la frontière finlandaise. Deux ans après son adhésion à l'OTAN, la Finlande se trouve en état d'alerte. Les autorités d'Helsinki disent suivre « très attentivement » les déploiements militaires russes.Le New York Times révèle, images satellites à l'appui, une expansion des infrastructures militaires russes près de la frontière : tentes de campagne, véhicules blindés, abris rénovés pour avions de chasse, base d'hélicoptères remise en état… Le tout à seulement quelques kilomètres du territoire finlandais.Faut-il s'inquiéter ? Interrogé sur le sujet, Donald Trump a tenté de minimiser les risques. " Je ne suis pas du tout inquiet. La Finlande et la Norvège seront très en sécurité", a-t-il déclaré mardi à la presse. Pour autant, les autorités nordiques prennent la menace au sérieux : Helsinki prévoit de relever à 65 ans l'âge limite pour les réservistes et a lancé un site dédié à la préparation en cas de guerre. En Suède comme en Norvège, les gouvernements appellent également la population à se préparer à d'éventuels scénarios de crise.Autre facteur d'instabilité : la situation en Pologne, en première ligne sur le flanc Est de l'Otan.Le pays vient de vivre une élection présidentielle décisive, remportée par Karol Nawrocki, un candidat nationaliste qui prône une ligne dure face à Bruxelles… et à Kiev.Son élection pourrait rebattre les cartes diplomatiques en Europe centrale et compliquer la coordination militaire dans la région.Alors, que sait-on de l'opération "Toile d'araignée" ? Que se passe-t-il à la frontière entre la Finlande et la Russie ? Enfin, qui est Karol Nawrocki, le candidat nationaliste vainqueur de l'élection présidentielle ?

Luigi De Pascalis"Il buio e le stelle"La Lepre Edizioniwww.lalepreedizioni.comAndrea Sarra nasce nel 1895 a Borgo San Rocco, immaginario paese d'Abruzzo all'ombra della Majella, e fa parte di una generazione che più di ogni altra vedrà cambiare il mondo. Quindici anni fa Luigi De Pascalis ha già narrato parte della sua storia, dall'infanzia alle trincee infernali della Grande Guerra, nel romanzo La pazzia di Dio, incastonato nella parte centrale di questo libro. Ora – con una scrittura poetica e insieme di raro, potente realismo – affida alla voce di Andrea il racconto del “prima”, l'epica corale e senza tempo di Borgo San Rocco, filtrato dai ricordi familiari, e di un “dopo” a Zanzibar, dove il protagonista approda alla ricerca della donna africana che suo padre Filippo ha amato più di ogni altra. Si delinea così un viaggio che coincide con la vita, in continuo moto ondivago tra passato e presente, denso di incontri che, ognuno a suo modo, si riveleranno decisivi. Come l'Ulisse omerico Andrea è al tempo stesso tutti e nessuno, sospinto da ogni lancio di dadi del destino verso un'Itaca che resta indelebile in lui, malgrado ogni sua fuga più o meno consapevole.Luigi De Pascalis ha pubblicato molti racconti di genere fantastico, vincendo diversi premi (Montepulciano, Courmayeur, Tolkien tra gli altri). È stato il primo scrittore italiano di narrativa fantastica a essere tradotto negli Stati Uniti, in un'antologia ormai storica del genere a cura di Sprague De Camp, ed è presente in molte antologie italiane. Con La Lepre Edizioni ha pubblicato anche, nel 2010, Rosso Velabro, Il labirinto dei Sarra, La pazzia di Dio; la graphic novel Pinocchio (2011, Premio Carlo Lorenzini); Il nido della Fenice (2012); Il mantello di porpora (2014, candidato al Premio Strega); Notturno bizantino (2016, candidato al Premio Strega e vincitore del Premio Acqui Storia); Volgograd (2018); Il signore delle furie danzanti (2020); Il cavaliere, la morte e il diavolo (2021). Tra i libri pubblicati con altre case editrici: La morte si muove nel buio (Mondadori 2013); Il sigillo di Caravaggio (2019), Il pittore maledetto (2020) e La congrega segreta (2022), tutti e tre con Newton Compton; Odissea futura (già finalista al premio Urania, Tabula Fati 2024). Con Delos Book, tra il 2014 e il 2023, ha pubblicato in e-book La cena di Dumas, Il collezionista di sogni, La Chanson d'Antiochie, Il vaso di Pandora.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Edition No94 | 09-02-2025 - Ukraine has demonstrated there is only one class of sanctions that it can reply upon; exercise some control over and does not have to beg allies to enforce. A class of sanctions that has no loopholes, and no get-out clauses. Which allies will not find some route to circumvent, no and where no third country that can intercede as a middleman for the Kremlin. That sanction is the destruction of Russia's energy infrastructure, including gas processing as supply routes as well as oil refineries and storage facilities. ----------We ran two events in Ukraine in the last two weeks. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasBut it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv, and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make this trip a reality. We also have a much more ambitious programme to film interviews around Kyiv and Lviv for the channel. This project will have an impact, so please help if you can. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------Because of its perceived effectiveness, it's becoming clear that Ukraine will intensify strikes on Russian oil refineries and expand geography of attacks in 2025. This view is supported by foreign policy analysts such as Hlib Ostapenko, which claims that data shows that “the systematic campaign of strikes on Russian refineries and oil depots, which began in September 2023, is gaining new momentum.”In a recent article "Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries: strategy for 2025", he points to the successful strikes on key facilities, including the terminal in Ust-Luga and the Astrakhan gas processing plant. They come amidst strikes that are particularly resonant, in comparison to the pre-election period in the US, where Ukraine refrained from such attacks for a few months, but now have hit the Kstovo refinery and Volgograd "Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka", which was damaged twice in the first days of February. ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------NEWS SOURCES:https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3957651-ukrainian-strikes-destroy-46-of-russias-oil-refining-capacity-intercept.htmlhttps://ukranews.com/en/news/1062774-in-2025-ukraine-will-intensify-strikes-on-russian-oil-refineries-and-expand-geography-of-attackshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2025/01/29/ukrainian-drones-flew-500-miles-and-in-a-single-strike-damaged-5-of-russias-oil-refining-capacity/https://kyivindependent.com/4-out-of-4-russian-lukoil-oil-refinery-struck-by-multiple-ukrainian-drones-military-intelligence-source-claims/https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraines-drone-attack-sparks-fire-forces-flight-suspensions-several-russian-2025-02-03/----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------

Fédor Filippovitch Dubinsky est un jeune homme doté d'une intelligence et d'une beauté exceptionnelles. Né en Russie dans la banlieue ouvrière de Volgograd, dès son enfance, Fédor se heurte à un monde qui ne comprend pas sa différence. Pourtant, un événement inattendu va bouleverser sa vie : après un accident, il se découvre un talent musical prodigieux, capable de composer des chefs-d'œuvre en un clin d'œil. Mais d'où viennent ces mélodies envoûtantes ? Et pourquoi Fédor semble-t-il si tourmenté malgré ce don extraordinaire ? Des meurtres qui défient la raison, des enquêtes impossibles, ou encore des assassins imprenables : abonnez-vous pour ne rater aucun nouveau récit passionnant de Pierre Bellemare, pour qui l'art de conter n'avait aucun secret.

The years 1941 and 1942 were tough ones… Things were going badly in the Battle of the Atlantic, with Germany threatening to strangle Britain by sinking more merchant ships than the British could bear to lose. In the Far East, the Japanese were giving the British, and indeed several other of the western nations previously seen as unbeatable, that they could be beaten by an Asian power. But by taking on the Americans, they'd made a mistake: the US had barely deployed its strength and, when it did, it first put a stop to Japanese advance by sea or land before it started to fight back. In Russia too, the German advance was running out steam. Unexpectedly tough resistance from the Soviets stopped the Germans short of their objectives. One army made it as far as the city now called Volgograd, then called Stalingrad. What happened to it there is something for our next episode. Meanwhile, in North Africa, late 1942 was when Rommel's breathtaking advance was at last halted at the First Battle of El Alamein in Egypt, by General Claude Auchinleck at the head of the British Eighth Army. Sadly, though, that hadn't come fast for Winston Churchill or the British Chief of Imperial General Staff, who relieved Auchinleck of his command. Credit for the victory would go to someone else. Again, a story for the next episode. Illustration: Officers on the bridge of a British destroyer escorting a convoy of ships, looking out for submarines.

A more apt title for this should be The Battle for Stalingrad, because that exactly what this was in every sense of the word. After the Nazi invasion of Russia during Operation Barbarossa failed to capture Moscow, Hitler needed a win and decided to pivot and capture Russia's oil fields in the south, fueling his war machine and starving the Russian Army. Stalingrad, named after ol' J Stalin himself just happened to be in the area. Now if you've listened to our episodes on Hitler you know that Dolph was not a fan of Stalin, and taking over the city with his name attached was too sweet of a treat to pass up. What the Nazi did not anticipate was the next 6 1/2 months. Stalingrad was the origination of Urban Warfare. The Nazi bombings had reduced the city to rubble, rubble where snipers, guerrilla fighters, and the Red Army were lying in wait to make them pay for every inch of ground. Join us as we discuss the deadliest battle this planet has ever seen.

CANADIAN RAILROAD LABOR STRIKE HALTED BY CANADIAN GOVERNMENT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Russia: Overnight, Islamist State (ISIS) militants conducted an assault at the IK-19 penal colony in Volgograd. ISIS militants occupied the facility for a few hours, executing at least three guards. AC: The militants made several varying demands, such as military equipment, money, and a helicopter, however Russian authorities were not willing to negotiate and retook the facility by force. All ISIS militants were either neutralized or arrested.This attack comes a few days after Putin's surprise visit to Chechnya, his first visit to the region in over a decade. This visit served to diplomatically cement the Chechen Republic's role in Russia's future, along with strengthening ties with Ramzan Kadyrov, the current head of the mostly Islamic republic.Norway: Newly-released reporting reveals an act of sabotage that occurred at a critical military installation earlier this year. Local Norwegian media reports that a communications cable at Evenes Air Station was deliberately cut back in April. The investigation of this incident is currently ongoing.-HomeFront-Colorado: This morning two trains collided near Boulder, destroying a rail bridge and causing a minor fuel leak.Canada: Yesterday afternoon the Canadian government intervened to halt the railroad lockout, less than a day after it started. However, even as rail operations are resuming normally, logistical delays are still expected for some cargo.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Critical cargo or any freight cars carrying HAZMAT were halted about a week before the labor strike, so as to not result in this important cargo being stuck on random sidings throughout Canada.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today's the 29th of July and here are the headlines.The Delhi Police have arrested five more people in connection with the flooding of the basement of Rau's IAS Study Centre, including the driver of a vehicle who purportedly waded through the waterlogged road and contributed to breaking the gates of the coaching centre where three UPSC aspirants died. The owners of the basement are among the five arrested people, including the coaching centre's CEO, Abhishek Gupta, and coordinator, Deshpal Singh. All the five accused are expected to be produced in court on Monday.Days after three UPSC aspirants died when the basement of their coaching centre flooded in the National Capital, Rajya Sabha chairman allowed a short-term discussion on the matter after the question hour. While the chair did not agree to suspend the proceedings on the House for the discussion, members of the opposition applauded that the chair allowed for the discussion under another rule, adding that they hoped their request for similar discussions on NEET paper leak and Manipur violence will also be allowed.Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Monday hit out at the Union Budget of 2024-25 on Monday, calling it a ‘chakravyuh' created by the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress leader said the ‘chakravyuh' that has captured India has three forces — the idea of monopoly capital and concentration of financial power; institutions and agencies such as the CBI, ED and IT department; and the political executive. Gandhi's reference was to the Mahabharat, according to which Abhimanyu was killed in a ‘chakravyuh' — a multi-tiered maze and formation — in which he was trapped. He further said the chakravyuh looks like a lotus (the BJP symbol).Days after some students from Nirmala College in Kerala's Muvattupuzha held protests demanding that they be allotted a room at the college to offer namaz, a prominent body of Islamic scholars have asked the students to desist from making such demands that could “create hatred” Dakshina Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama general secretary Muhammed Thoufeeq Moulavi called the controversy “unfortunate”. Last Friday, a group of girls at Nirmala College in Muvattupuzha held protests demanding a room to offer their prayers but the college management had turned them down saying they were “free” to offer namaz at a mosque some 200 metres away. Significantly, the college is run by the Catholic Church.A passenger train carrying about 800 parrengers collided with a Kamaz truck, killing at least two and injuring up to 100 people on Monday, Russian media outlets reported, according to Reuters. As per the report, eight carriages were derailed, some of the carriages lay twisted and battered beside the railway track, they said. The train had been travelling from Kazan in Tatarstan to Adler on the Black Sea when it derailed in the southern Volgograd region near the Kotelnikovo station about 1,200 km (750 miles) south of Moscow, the emergencies ministry said.This was the Catchup on 3 Things on The Indian Express.

II. Dünya Savaşı'nda Almanlarla Ruslar arasında en şiddetli çatışmaların yaşandığı yerlerden biri Stalingrad'dı. Şehir yaklaşık olarak beş ay süreyle kuşatma altında kaldı. Şehrin Almanlar ve Ruslar için ne anlama geldiğini kaynaklara bakarak öğrenmek mümkün. Stalingrad her iki ordu için stratejik önemdeydi. Azerbaycan petrolüne ulaşım açısından Volga nehri kenarındaki bu şehrin hayatî bir önemi olduğu biliniyor. Şehrin eski adı Volgograd'tı. Stalingrad Savaşı'nda Alman ordusu ilk önce şehri bütün kuvvetleriyle teslim olmaya zorlamıştı. Önce kara ordusu şehre girmiş ve adım adım ilerlemişti. Takip eden günlerde hava saldırılarıyla da Stalingrad'ın direncini kırmak istediler. Elbette savaş stratejilerini değerlendirmek bu yazının kapsamı dışındadır fakat Ruslar oldukça etkili bir savunma stratejisi geliştirmişlerdi. Buna göre asıl olarak Alman hava kuvvetlerinin etkisini azaltmaya yönelmişlerdi. Beş ay gibi bir sürenin sonunda Alman orduları mağlup oldu. Hitlerin ordusunun hızla ilerleme stratejisi bu savaşta sökmemişti. Stalingrad, II. Dünya Savaşı'nın dönüm noktalarından biri olarak gösterilir. İsrail de hem Filistinlilere hem de diğer Arap devletlerine karşı neredeyse bütün savaşlarda şimdiye kadar yıldırım hızıyla hareket etmişti. Siyonist hareketin İngiliz manda yönetimi altında Araplara karşı da aynı yöntemle hareket ettiği bilinmektedir. 1918'den 1948'e kadar devam eden İngiliz koloni yönetimi döneminde Siyonist örgütler neredeyse bütün terör faaliyetlerinde inanılmaz bir hızla hareket etmiş ve kısa vadeli hedeflerine ulaştıktan sonra propaganda çalışmalarına ağırlık vermişlerdi. Siyonistler bütün terör faaliyetlerini İngiliz Colonial Office (Koloni Bakanlığı) Ortadoğu Departmanı'nın yönetiminde icra etmişlerdi. O zaman da Avrupa kamuoyunun yönlendirilmesi gerekiyordu ve Siyonist örgütlerin hızlı hareketi propaganda çalışmalarının amacına ulaşması bakımından oldukça önemliydi. Bu hız İngiltere'nin Siyonizm yanlısı politikasını sürdürmesinde hayatî bir role sahipti.

Stalingrad blev en av de stora vändpunkterna i kriget på östfronten. Få enskilda slag har i historien satt sådana djupa spår i vårt medvetande. Kampen om Stalingrad och den tyska 6.arméns kapitulation symboliserar det tyska misslyckandet på östfronten och den sovjetiska segern.Hitlers plan att erövra de viktiga ryska oljefälten vid Baku vid Kaspiska havet stoppades i Stalingrads ruiner. Striden fördes med stor brutalitet från hus till hus i en stad som jämnats med marken av det tyska bombflyget och i vilken det fortfarande fanns civila. Förlusterna var outhärdligt stora på båda sidor.I denna nymixade repris av Militärhistoriepodden samtalar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved om en av de mest dramatiska händelserna i andra världskrigets historia. Tyskarna försökte under sommarkampanjen 1942 att erövra de strategiskt viktiga oljefälten kring Baku och samtidigt eliminera de sovjetiska styrkorna i söder. Det tyska högkvarteret inledde planeringen i april 1942 och gav operationen namnet ”Operation Blå”.Operationen inleddes den 28 juni och ledde snabbt till stora tyska framgångar. Hitler gav order om att Kaukasus och Stalingrad skulle erövras samtidigt. Detta skulle komma att visa sig bli ödesdigert. De tyska styrkorna delades upp i två armégrupper vilket försvagade den tyska offensiven inte minst därför att det blev svårt att fullt ut klara underhållet i två riktningar. Båda armégrupperna misslyckades att uppnå sina anfallsmål.Staden Stalingrad, dagens Volgograd, bredde ut sig 50 kilometer på båda sidor om floden Volga. En erövring av staden skulle stänga av de sovjetiska förbindelserna med områdena i söder. Dessutom skulle staden i tyskarnas händer fungera som ett viktigt flankskydd. Anfallet mot staden var alltså inte bara en fåfänga propaganda fråga utan Stalingrad hade en verklig strategisk betydelse.Anfallen mot Stalingrad inleddes på allvar 21 augusti. Den 23 augusti lade det tyska flyget staden i ruiner. Civilbefolkningen led i ruinerna. I själva verket hade tyskarna skapat en ointaglig fästning. Stalingrads rykande ruiner skulle visa sig omöjliga att betvinga. De kommande månaderna fördes ett brutalt krig man mot man i staden. Förlusterna var fruktansvärda på båda sidor. Ryssarna höll till slut bara små brohuvuden på västra sidan floden. Men längre än så kom aldrig tyskarna. I november genomförde ryssarna en våldsam inringningsoperation som inneslöt 6.armén i Stalingrad – operation Uranus. I början av februari kapitulerade tyskarna och 91 000 soldater gick i fångenskap. Sammanlagt förlorade den tyska armén närmare 800 000 soldater i operationerna kring Stalingrad. Av dessa stupade nästan 300 000.Om Stalingrad har det skrivits många hyllmeter. Antony Beevors kanske bästa bok Stalingrad (2000) är grundläggande och ger på många sätt den enskilde soldatens perspektiv. Vägen till Stalingrad och även själva striden finns bland annat beskriven av John Erickson The Road to Stalingrad (2003). Bild: Sovjetiska trupper anfaller i Stalingrand i juli 1942.

Episode: 1621 Motherland: The Stalingrad Memorial.  Today, we visit a really big statue.

A new investigation from journalists at iStories and researchers at the Conflict Intelligence Team accuses the Russian military of using so-called “torture pits” against unruly, often drunk soldiers. Journalists and researchers think they found two sites, one outside Volgograd and the other outside Orenburg. iStories collected testimony from soldiers at two training grounds in these areas and identified satellite images that appear to show the pits those soldiers described. iStories spoke to a soldier who trained at this facility this summer (the journalists gave him the pseudonym “Viktor”), who described a chaotic breakdown in military discipline. According to Viktor, roughly 80 percent of the soldiers undergoing training were prisoner recruits who were often drunk or high. In his comments to journalists, Viktor said repeatedly that these soldiers were only there for the money, signaling potentially severe problems with morale in Russia's armed forces. The Naked Pravda spoke to the author of the iStories report, Sonya Savina, to learn more about the story.

Piše: Milan Vogel Bereta: Lidija Hartman in Jure Franko ”Spomeniki so vseh mogočih oblik in velikosti. V tej knjigi sem predstavil pomene in motive, ki se skrivajo za širokim naborom obeležij – ne le običajnih kipov, ampak tudi abstraktnih skulptur, slik, arhitekturnih objektov, muzejev in spominskih parkov, porušenih zgradb in porušenih vasi, koncentracijskih taborišč, pokopališč, grobnic in svetišč.” Tako angleški zgodovinar Keith Lowe, avtor, ki je slovenskim bralcem znan vsaj še po knjigah Podivjana celina in Strah in svoboda, strnjeno povzema vsebino in sporočilo odlično napisane knjige Ujetniki zgodovine. Kaj nam spomeniki drugi svetovni vojni povedo o zgodovini in o nas. Tako kot ljudje so tudi spomeniki ujeti v okove zgodovine, ki se jih zaradi spreminjanja družbenih razmer le težko otresejo. Avtor ob številnih primerih poudarja, da se vlogi ”junaka” in ”mučenika” lahko hitro zamenjata. To dokazujejo rušitve spomenikov ob spremembah režimov po vsem svetu. Spomnimo se podiranja spomenika Sadamu Huseinu, odstranjevanja Stalinovih ali Leninovih kipov v baltskih in drugih državah, začetka odstranjevanja kipov junakov konfederacije z ulic in javnih trgov leta 2017 v ZDA, rušenja spomenika kralju Aleksandru v Ljubljani ob italijanski okupaciji, umaknitve Titovega spomenika izpred Muzeja novejše zgodovine in odstranitve spomenikov, povezanih z NOB, z Brda. Avtor rušenje ali odstranitev sicer razume, a hkrati obžaluje, saj so spomeniki dragoceni zgodovinski dokumenti, ki ”zgovorno pripovedujejo o vrednotah naših prednikov, dobrih in slabih. To so znamenitosti z močjo, ki navdihujejo vse mogoče debate. So tudi velike umetnine, izdelane z osupljivo rokodelsko spretnostjo in domišljijo. Uničevanje vsega tega zaradi sodobne politike je velika sramota.” V sklepnem delu poudarja, da rušenje ne rešuje naše zgodovine, ampak jo zgolj potisne pod zemljo. S spomeniki se je vedno treba soočiti in se o njih pogovarjati, kličejo nas na odgovornost in skrbijo, da ”nikoli ne pozabimo na svoj dolg do zgodovine ali na svojo zasužnjenost z njo”. Predstavitev petindvajsetih spomenikov in obeležij z vsega sveta v tej knjigi to nazorno kaže. S takim razumevanjem je Lowe spomenike razvrstil v pet kategorij. V prvi so spomeniki, postavljeni junakom, v drugi mučenikom, v tretji pošastim, četrti del je naslovil Apokalipsa, zadnjega, petega, pa Ponovno rojstvo. Vsak spomenik je odsev trenutnih družbenih razmer, kar avtor brez patetike tudi razloži. Nekateri so pogosto predstavljani, kot npr. Auschwitz, drugi manj, kot npr. 2000 km dolga pešpot Pot osvoboditve Evrope, ki se začenja v Londonu in vodi po znamenitih krajih, po katerih so se zahodni osvoboditelji Evrope v letih 1944 in 1945 prebijali do Berlina. Za avtorja je to daleč največji spomenik v tej knjigi, saj govori tako o današnjem svetu kot o zgodovini. ”Za pešpotjo se poleg zgodovinskega sporočila skriva tudi politično sporočilo – ali vsaj politično stališče.” Evropski svet jo je potrdil kot uradno evropsko kulturno pot. Zaradi časovne omejenosti prispevka ne moremo navajati vseh spomenikov in obeležij, zgodovinskih parkov, porušenih krajev, ki so kot spomeniki ostali v ruševinah, kot npr. vas Oradour-sur-Glane v Franciji ali katedrala v v letalskem napadu uničenem Coventryju v Angliji, katere prošt Harwar je že med vojno pozival k spravi in sodelovanju s porušenimi cerkvami v Nemčiji. Coventry se danes imenuje Mesto miru in sprave in je pobraten z mnogimi med vojno porušenimi mesti, kot so Volgograd, Varšava, Dresden in Hirošima. Njegovo osrednje gledališče se imenuje po leta 1941 bombardiranem Beogradu, ena od ulic po vasi Lidice, ki so jo leta 1942 povsem porušili nacisti, ena pa po nemškem mestu Meschede, ki je bilo leta 1945 uničeno v letalskem napadu ameriških bombnikov. V tretjem delu knjige, naslovljenem Pošasti, je dobila mesto tudi Slovenija, in sicer s Spomenikom žrtvam vseh vojn na Kongresnem trgu v Ljubljani, ”enem najzanimivejših in najbolj problematičnih spomenikov, kar sem jih kdaj videl”, pravi. ”V primerjavi z drugimi do sedaj videnimi obravnavanimi obeležji ta spomenik narodove preteklosti ne poskuša spraviti v figurativno podobo. Nikjer ni nobenega kipa, nobenih portretov ljudi, zamrznjenih v akciji. Spomenik je popolnoma abstrakten. Vendar ni zato nič manj kontroverzen.” Po Lowovem mnenju spomenik nima namena zbujati pozornosti, saj je ob zadnjem obisku nekaj ur stal ob njem in ga opazoval, a se nihče ni ustavil, da bi ga pogledal. ”Nihče ni na klinasto oblikovani stopnici na njegovem južnem robu čakal na srečanje s prijatelji. Nihče se ni ustavil v senci velikih kamnitih plošč, da bi pojedel sendvič. Spomenik obvladuje eno stran Kongresnega trga v samem osrčju mesta, toda zdi se, da ga preveva nekaj, kar odbija pozornost,” in nadaljuje, da je brezizraznost spomenika verjetno njegova največja prednost, saj da je želel biti tankočuten, da ne bi nikogar žalil in obujal razdiralnih strasti med vojno. ”Če ne pove ničesar o junakih niti o mučenikih niti o krivcih, potem je to namerna odločitev. Celo njegovo ime je namerno nedoločno. Čeprav vsakdo ve, da je to spomenik drugi svetovni vojni, je posvečen žrtvam vseh vojn.” Avtor je bil pretresen nad Hudo jamo, kamor ga je peljal Mitja Ferenc, zato se sprašuje, kaj ta ”brezizrazni, abstraktni spomenik pove o strahotah, ki sem jim bil ravnokar priča? Kako lahko sprejmeš spomenik iz čistega belega kamna, ko pa je resnica dosti bolj umazana, skrita na dnu temnega brezna v slovenskih hribih?” Na drugem mestu zapiše, da če so drugi spomeniki postavljeni zato, da bi usmerjali narodove spomine, je ta ravno zato, da bi jih razblinil.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. **Tai-Ex opening ** The Tai-Ex opened marginally higher this morning from yesterday's close, at 16,578 on turnover of 1.5-billion N-T. The market staged a technical rebound on Tuesday on the back of increased investor interest in semiconductor stocks follow a rise on Wall Street overnight sparked by a more than 1-per cent increase on the tech heavy Nasdaq. **MND Releases Latest Defense Paper ** The Ministry of National Defense has released its first national defense report since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to the report, the island's armed forces are learning from the war in Europe, and are boosting the asymmetrical warfare capabilities and adopting a whole-of-society approach in preparation for a potential cross-strait conflict. The military notes that as is being seen in the Russia-Ukraine war, China is also deploying hybrid warfare to target Taiwan through both military coercion (強迫) and non-traditional threats, including cyber and cognitive warfare. And the report says the military is responding to those actions by upholding its long-held "resolute defense and multi-domain deterrence" strategic guidance, and continuing to beef up its asymmetrical warfare capabilities in the face of a much stronger opponent. **Court Rejects Taipei's Initial Request to Freeze Kee Tai Assets ** The Taipei District Court has rejected a request by the Taipei City government to freeze 61.96-million N-T in assets (資產) belonging to Kee Tai Properties. The city government submitted the request to the court on Sunday, days after underground excavation work at a Kee Tai construction site in the Dazhi neighborhood caused one building to partially collapse and six others to incline to one side. According to the court, it chose to reject the request as Kee Tai is a publicly-traded company with authorized capital of 5-billion N-T, and has already agreed to transfer 100-million N-T into a fund for the affected households. **US Vows Support for Libya ** US President Joe Biden has promised emergency funds (資金) for Libya, after severe flooding killed an estimated 5,000 people. Thousands of people are still missing, with parts of some cities completely destroyed. Nick Harper reports from Washington. **Russian Warplane Crash ** The Russian military has announced that one of its warplanes crashed during a training mission in southern Russia without specifying the fate of its crew. The Defense Ministry says the Su-24 bomber went down Tuesday in an unpopulated area in the Volgograd region and rescue helicopters were deployed to the site. The ministry says that the aircraft wasn't carrying any weapons. It didn't say what might have caused the crash that caused no casualties or damage on the ground. The Russian air force has suffered a string of crashes that some observers have attributed to (將（某種狀況）歸屬於) a higher number of flights amid the fighting in Ukraine. **Simona Halep Suspended for Doping ** Two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep has been suspended (暫令停止參加活動) from professional tennis for four years for doping violations. The International Tennis Integrity Agency says the 31-year-old Romanian “committed intentional anti-doping rule violations” by failing a drug test during the 2022 U.S. Open and for irregularities in her Athlete Biological Passport. Halep had been provisionally suspended since October 2022. The four-year ban will run to Oct. 6, 2026. She plans to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The EU-Ukraine summit kicks off in Kyiv, as a new bust of Stalin is unveiled in Volgograd. Plus, 100 days of Rishi Sunak, Germany's security relationship with its allies – and who would you choose to appear on a banknote? With Carole Walker and Stephen Dalziel.

EXPERTS GÉNÉRAL DOMINIQUE TRINQUAND Ancien chef de la mission militaire française auprès de l'ONU CHARLES HAQUET Rédacteur en chef du service Monde – « L'Express » ANNE NIVAT Grand reporter - « Le Point » RYM MOMTAZ Chercheuse en politique étrangère – IIFS Envoyer un signal politique fort. C'est l'objectif numéro un du déplacement en Ukraine, ce jeudi 2 et vendredi 3 février, des plus hauts représentants des institutions européennes. Aujourd'hui, Ursula von der Leyen, la présidente de la Commission européenne, et une quinzaine de commissaires, ont rencontré à Kiev des ministres du gouvernement de Volodymyr Zelensky, afin d'étudier ensemble les coopérations actuelles et à venir, sur fond d'une accélération de la lutte anticorruption dans le pays. Mercredi, la police et les services spéciaux ukrainiens ont effectué une vague de perquisitions aux domiciles de plusieurs membres de l'administration, mais aussi de personnalités de premier plan, dont notamment l'ancien puissant ministre de l'Intérieur, de 2014 à 2021. Une façon de donner des gages à l'Union européenne ? Ce nouveau tour de vis intervient deux jours avant le sommet Union européenne (UE)-Ukraine prévu à Kiev cours duquel les Européens entendent signifier au monde, et plus particulièrement à Moscou, leur soutien indéfectible à Kiev. Un soutien à la fois financier, pour permettre en premier lieu à l'économie ukrainienne de tenir le choc de la guerre. Mais aussi humanitaire, pour notamment subvenir aux besoins des réfugiés. Et militaire enfin, pour entre autres financer l'envoi d'armes à l'Ukraine et lui permettre de mener la contre-offensive ce printemps. L'Union européenne veut ainsi former 30 000 soldats ukrainiens pour aider le pays à faire face à l'invasion russe. L'Allemagne et les Etats-Unis viennent également d'accepter de livrer des chars lourds aux forces ukrainiennes. Mais Kiev souhaite désormais obtenir des avions de combat et des missiles à longue portée. Le président américain Joe Biden a dit refuser que les Etats-Unis envoient des avions de combat F-16. De son côté, Emmanuel Macron s'est montré moins tranché sur la question qui divise les Européens. « Rien n'est interdit par principe », a-t-il répondu à La Haye, à propos d'éventuelles livraisons d'avions de chasse. Le chef de l'Etat a toutefois établi une liste de « critères » avant toute décision : une « demande formulée » par l'Ukraine, que cela ne « soit pas escalatoire » et « pas de nature à toucher le sol russe mais bien à aider l'effort de résistance » et que « ça ne vienne pas affaiblir la capacité de l'armée française ». La Pologne a, pour sa part, pris une nouvelle fois position en faveur de l'Ukraine sur ce dossier. Le pays serait disposé à envoyer des F-16 en cas de consensus au sein de l'Otan, a indiqué mercredi le Premier ministre polonais Mateusz Morawiecki. Le pays s'était déjà illustré ces dernières semaines en mettant la pression sur Berlin pour permettre la livraison de chars Léopard. Pays de l'Otan, frontalier de la Russie, la Pologne a adopté depuis le début de l'invasion russe en Ukraine une posture très ferme, en appelant à la coupure totale des relations économiques de l'Union européenne avec la Russie. Il a également décidé d'investir massivement dans sa défense et d'accueillir en nombre les réfugiés ukrainiens. 1,5 million d'Ukrainiens sont enregistrés dans le pays a déclaré le Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les réfugiés (UHCNR). Selon l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE), la Pologne a dépensé 8,36 milliards d'euros (8,98 milliards de dollars) pour l'hébergement, les soins de santé et d'autres services pour les Ukrainiens en 2022, soit le montant le plus élevé parmi les pays membres. De son côté, le président russe Vladimir Poutine était attendu à Volgograd ce jeudi 2 février, pour célébrer les 80 ans de la victoire de Stalingrad – l'ancien nom de la ville - sur les troupes nazies, bataille considérée comme l'une des plus meurtrières de l'histoire et qui a marqué un tournant dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Une nouvelle occasion pour le maître du Kremlin d'effectuer un parallèle entre l'Ukraine et le nazisme, et de convaincre que si l'URSS a gagné, la Russie peut le répéter.

It's Rocky IV and Andy doesn't understand Roman numerals. The whole gang is back including Roy Fillmore and he and Andy promise not to talk about the Director's Cut too much. We break that promise over and over. But seriously, watch the theatrical cut. Roy's sexual awakening. Paulie. The sex robot. Drago isn't Soviet enough. "Oh no, it's Brigitte!" We re-enact a 1990 SNL sketch of Sly Stallone and other Hollywood stars giving hockey ideas to Wayne Gretzky. It's propaganda. Disagreement over whether this is a good movie or not. At about the 2 hour mark, Andy sits down with his former LDS mission companion Jared to talk about searching for Russian copies of Rocky IV in Volgograd in the late 90's. Next week: a movie that doesn't exist! Don't watch Rocky V. We'll watch so you don't have to. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kissyourfranchisegoodbye/message

I missili che solo ieri mattina il criminale Putin ha fatto piovere sull'Ucraina valevano mezzo miliardi di dollari. Mentre questo patrimonio deflagrava in Ucraina i canali sotterranei della russa Volgograd sono esondati e hanno riempito di liquami i quartieri della città. Forse avrebbe potuto spendere meglio qualche milione in patria.

In this episode, Lexman discusses the recent terrorist attack in Volgograd with renowned scientologist and artificial intelligence researcher Christof Koch. The two discuss the implications of such violence on civilization as a whole, and what sort of steps must be taken in order to protect future generations from it.

(Bonus) The Battle of Stalingrad (23 August 1942 – 2 February 1943)was a major battle on the Eastern Front of World War II where Nazi Germany and its allies unsuccessfully fought the Soviet Union for control of the city of Stalingrad (later renamed Volgograd) in Southern Russia. The battle was marked by fierce close-quarters combat and direct assaults on civilians in air raids, with the battle being the epitome of urban warfare. The Battle of Stalingrad was the deadliest battle to take place during the Second World War and is one of the bloodiest battles in the history of warfare, with an estimated 2 million total casualties. Today, the Battle of Stalingrad is universally regarded as the turning point in the European Theatre of war, as it forced the German High Command to withdraw considerable military forces from other areas in occupied Europe to replace German losses on the Eastern Front. The victory at Stalingrad energized the Red Army and shifted the balance of power in the favour of the Soviets.

Covid'in ikinci yılını devireceğimiz şu günlerde grip salgını da sağolsun kendini gösterdi. ÜSYE bulguları ile gelen hastalarda acaba Covid mi? Grip mi? dilemmasını yaşamak yetmezmiş gibi komşudan gelen Batı Nil Virüsü (BNV) ile ilişkilendirilmiş ölüm haberlerine "eyvah" demedim diyemeyeceğim. Avrupa Hastalık Önleme ve Kontrol Merkezi (ecdc)'nin geçen haftaki verilerine göre 1 Ocak 2022 - 21 Eylül 2022 tarihleri arasında AB ülkelerinde 1000'e yakın pozitif vakanın 231'i Yunanistan'da bildirilmiş ve ölüm bildirimlerinin(51) 28'i İtalya, 20'si Yunanistan'da gözlenmiş. Hal böyle olunca eskilerin meşhur sözü " Komşuda pişer bize de düşer" sözü aklıma geldi. Malum önümüz kış, sezon açıldı. ÜSYE bulguları ile gelen hastaların ayırcı tanısına Batı Nil Ateşi'ni de eklememiz gerekebileceğini düşünerek sizlere bu yazıyı hazırladım. Keyifli okumalar dilerim. EPİDEMİYOLOJİ Batı Nil Ateşi, Japon ensefalit virüs antijen kompleksinin bir üyesi olan Batı Nil (WN) virüsü, ilk olarak 1937'de Uganda'nın Batı Nil eyaletinde hastadan alınan bir kan örneğinden izole edilmiş. İlk zamanlarda halk sağlığı açısından önemsiz olduğu düşünülmüş, ta ki 99 yılında Amerikan'nın New York şehrinde 62 ensafalit vakası çıkana kadar.​1​ İlk çalışmalar, Kuzey Amerika görülen WN virüsünün Orta Doğu kökenli olduğunu öne sürerken, sonraki analizler WN suşlarının Kuzey Afrika'dan geldiğini göstermiş. Avrupa'da ise ilk büyük salgın 1996'da Romanya'da gözlendi. O zamandan beri, İspanya, İtalya, Yunanistan, Ukrayna ve Rusya Federasyonu'na (Volgograd, Astrakchan ve Rostov) kadar uzanan sporadik insan vakaları rapor edildi. 2010'dan 2018'e kadar, Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinde 110 ila 991 nöroinvaziv hastalık vakası bildirilmiş.​2​ BULAŞ WN virüsünün enfeksiyonları " Culex" isimli dişi sivrisinek ısırıklarından kaynaklanır. Asıl konak kuşlardır. Virüs, sinek-kuş-sinek döngüsü içinde korunur. İnsanlar, atlar ve diğer memeliler tesadüfi veya son konakçıdırlar. İnsan son konakçı olduğundan vektör aracılığıyla kişiden kişiye bulaş gözlenmez. Anneden çocuğa, plasenta ve anne sütü yoluyla geçiş gösteren çalışmalar bulunmaktadır.​3​ Bazı çalışmalarda organ nakli ve kan transfüzyonu sonrasında bulaş bildirilmiş.​4,5​ Batı Nil Virüsünün Yaşam Döngüsü PATOFİZYOLOJİ WN, Flavivirüs cinsi Flaviviridae ailesinden tek sarmallı RNA virüsüdür. Sivrisinek, viral yükünü konakçıya tükürüğü vasıtasıyla bulaştırır. WN virüsünün subkutan inokülasyonu takiben yayılımı üç fazda gerçekleşir. Erken fazda, dermal dendritik hücrelerde ve keratinositlerde viral replikasyonu gerçekleşir. Bu fazı, viseral organ yayılım fazı ve merkezi sinir sistemi fazı takip eder.​6​ KLİNİK Batı Nil (WN) virüsü ile enfekte olmuş kişilerin çoğu asemptomatiktir; semptomlar enfekte hastaların sadece yüzde 20 ila 40'ında görülür. Enfeksiyon için tipik inkübasyon periyodu 2 ila 14 gün arasında değişirken, immünsuprese konaklarda daha uzun kuluçka periyotları gözlemlenmiştir. Hastalık ani başlangıçlı ateş, baş ağrısı, halsizlik, sırt ağrısı, miyalji ve iştahsızlık ile karakterizedir. Gözlerde ağrı, farenjit, bulantı, kusma, ishal ve karın ağrısı da görülebilir. Tipik semptomlar 3-10 gün arası sürerken, şikayetlerinin 10 günden daha fazla sürdüğü vakalar da literatürde bildirilmiştir.​7​ Hastaların %25-50 sinde, bir haftadan kısa süren, göğüste, sırtta ve kollarda gözlenen makülopapüler karakterde, bazen kaşıntının da eşlik ettiği döküntü görülebilir.​8,9​ Batı Nil virüsü enfeksiyonu ile ilişkili yaygın makülopapüler döküntü​9​ WN virüsü nöroinvaziv hastalığı, ateşin eşlik ettiği, menenjit, ensefalit, felç gibi hastalık paternleri ile kendini gösterebilir. Ensefalit, ileri yaş gruplarında menenjitten daha sık gözlenirken, menenjit çocuklarda daha sık görülür. Nöroinvaziv hastalık rapor edilen grupta ölüm oranı yaklaşık yüzde 10 olarak bildirilmiş. Ölüm için risk faktörleri arasında; ileri yaş, erkek cinsiyet, şiddetli kas güçsüzlüğünun eşlik ettiği ensefalit, bilinç değişikliği,

Zes gesprekken over de (on)overbrugbare kloof tussen oost en west. Met zes nationale én internationale gasten. Over de verhoudingen in Europa, die door de Russische oorlog in Oekraïne op z'n kop gezet. Met als vijfde Perestroj-gast: Sasha Marianna Salzmann: een non-binaire schrijver met Russisch-jiddisch-Oekraïense wortels, woonachtig in Berlijn. 'Duitsland keek naar Rusland om rijk te worden en vergat Oekraïne.' 'Voor de meesten van ons in het Westen houdt de emotionele landkaart krap achter de Uckermark op, bij de Poolse grens. Men schudt bezorgd het hoofd over de verkiezingsuitslagen in Oost-Duitsland en de mensenrechtensituatie in EU-lidstaat Polen en dan begint Rusland al, tenminste volgens onze emotionele kennis.' Zo schrijft Sasha Marianna Salzmann in hun opiniestuk De grote honger en het lange zwijgen, dat een maand na het begin van de oorlog verscheen in Trouw. Eerder stond hun artikel al in de Zwitserse Neue Zürcher Zeitung.  Deze aflevering gaat in op dat artikel. Een essay over een West-Europa dat eventjes opkijkt van de verkiezingsuitslagen in Oost-Duitsland en de mensenrechtensituatie in EU-lidstaat Polen, maar dan al snel zijn blik richt op Rusland. Resulterend in een Duitsland dat zich verlekkert aan Russisch gas en daarmee Poetins oorlog in Oekraïne betaalt. Ook in hun eigen familie werd Oekraïne vergeten. Zo bestond het Oekraïens voor Salzmann en hun familieleden niet als taal. Die verborgen familiegeschiedenis in Oekraïne maakte Salzmann nieuwsgierig. De schrijver dook in het familieverleden - de Holomodor, de Goelag - en daar kwam het boek Alles moet mooi zijn aan een mens uit voort dat eind september in het Nederlands verschijnt. Hun essay in Trouw is hierop gebaseerd. 'Er liggen nog veel vragen, geheimen open binnen mijn familie. Veel zal niet beantwoord worden en geheim worden gehouden.'  Voor de aflevering reisden Geert Jan en Floris naar Berlijn, het hart van Europa en de link tussen oost en west, en spraken in Kreuzberg met Salzmann. Sasha Marianna Salzmann werd in 1985 in Volgograd geboren. Ze is toneelschrijver, essayist, dramaturg en romanschrijver. Hun debuutroman Außer sich verscheen vier jaar geleden in het Nederlands met de titel Buiten mezelf. Salzmann is op 1 oktober in Utrecht te gast bij Exploring stories. In zes afleveringen gaan Floris Akkerman en Geert Jan Hahn op zoek naar De Kloof tussen Oost- en West-Europa. Deze zomerserie van de Perestrojkast is naast standaard podcast óók te beluisteren op FM: elke woensdagavond om 19:00 uur komt een nieuwe aflevering online. Die kun je hier beluisteren.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stalingrad blev en av de stora vändpunkterna i kriget på östfronten. Få enskilda slag har i historien satt sådana djupa spår i vårt medvetande. Kampen om Stalingrad och den tyska 6.arméns kapitulation symboliserar det tyska misslyckandet på östfronten och den sovjetiska segern.Hitlers plan att erövra de viktiga ryska oljefälten vid Baku vid Kaspiska havet stoppades i Stalingrads ruiner. Striden fördes med stor brutalitet från hus till hus i en stad som jämnats med marken av det tyska bombflyget och i vilken det fortfarande fanns civila. Förlusterna var outhärdligt stora på båda sidor.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden samtalar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved om en av de mest dramatiska händelserna i andra världskrigets historia. Tyskarna försökte under sommarkampanjen 1942 att erövra de strategiskt viktiga oljefälten kring Baku och samtidigt eliminera de sovjetiska styrkorna i söder. Det tyska högkvarteret inledde planeringen i april 1942 och gav operationen namnet ”Operation Blå”.Operationen inleddes den 28 juni och ledde snabbt till stora tyska framgångar. Hitler gav order om att Kaukasus och Stalingrad skulle erövras samtidigt. Detta skulle komma att visa sig bli ödesdigert. De tyska styrkorna delades upp i två armégrupper vilket försvagade den tyska offensiven inte minst därför att det blev svårt att fullt ut klara underhållet i två riktningar. Båda armégrupperna misslyckades att uppnå sina anfallsmål.Staden Stalingrad, dagens Volgograd, bredde ut sig 50 kilometer på båda sidor om floden Volga. En erövring av staden skulle stänga av de sovjetiska förbindelserna med områdena i söder. Dessutom skulle staden i tyskarnas händer fungera som ett viktigt flankskydd. Anfallet mot staden var alltså inte bara en fåfänga propaganda fråga utan Stalingrad hade en verklig strategisk betydelse.Anfallen mot Stalingrad inleddes på allvar 21 augusti. Den 23 augusti lade det tyska flyget staden i ruiner. Civilbefolkningen led i ruinerna. I själva verket hade tyskarna skapat en ointaglig fästning. Stalingrads rykande ruiner skulle visa sig omöjliga att betvinga. De kommande månaderna fördes ett brutalt krig man mot man i staden. Förlusterna var fruktansvärda på båda sidor. Ryssarna höll till slut bara små brohuvuden på västra sidan floden. Men längre än så kom aldrig tyskarna. I november genomförde ryssarna en våldsam inringningsoperation som inneslöt 6.armén i Stalingrad – operation Uranus. I början av februari kapitulerade tyskarna och 91 000 soldater gick i fångenskap. Sammanlagt förlorade den tyska armén närmare 800 000 soldater i operationerna kring Stalingrad. Av dessa stupade nästan 300 000.Om Stalingrad har det skrivits många hyllmeter. Antony Beevors kanske bästa bok Stalingrad (2000) är grundläggande och ger på många sätt den enskilde soldatens perspektiv. Vägen till Stalingrad och även själva striden finns bland annat beskriven av John Erickson The Road to Stalingrad (2003). Bild: Sovjetiska trupper anfaller i Stalingrand i juli 1942.

In December 2019, "Moscow Case" defendant Egor Lesnykh proposed to his girlfriend Dasha during his final courtroom remarks. The next day, he was sentenced to three years in prison. Egor was charged with assaulting a police officer at a rally after he tried to protect other protesters from being beaten by members of the National Guard. Today, he's serving his sentence in an open prison near Volgograd; he's due to be released in June 2022. Approximately once every two months, Dasha is able to visit Egor in prison. Over the course of several weeks, Meduza photographer Evgeny Feldman snapped photos of Dasha before and after one such visit.

In present day Volgograd, one of the largest Second World War memorials in the world stands. The city, once known as Stalingrad, is home the gigantic concrete and steel sculpture, The Motherland Calls, which was built in 1967, eleven years after Stalin himself had been denonced and disgraced by his successor. The immense losses that the USSR suffered at the hands of Nazi Germany and its allies will shape Russian memory for centuries to come and this podcast explores the creation of the memorials that were built after the war, and those which are still being constructed.

Piccolo racconto del nostro viaggio a Volgograd per rinforzare l'uso del passato prossimo e imperfetto. live stream twitch.tv/stivale_italiano --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alessandro-ligorio/message

The Volga begins as a small trickle in the Valdai Hills in the north of Russia, and broadens and expands as it heads south, past the storied medieval cities of Tver, Kostroma, and the great trading hub of the nineteenth century, Nizhniy Novgorod, down to Kazan, the capital of Muslim Tatarstan, then Ulyanovsk, the birthplace of Vladimir Lenin, on to Samara, site of the great peasant revolts led by Stenka Razin and Yemelyan Pugachyov. From there, the river flows down to Volgograd, better known as Stalingrad, where the Red Army pushed back the seemingly unstoppable Nazi offensive during World War II, and finally down to Astrakhan, where the Mongol invaders kept their court until Ivan the Terrible conquered the city in 1556. Then, finally, the mighty river empties into the Caspian Sea. So much of Russian history has played out on the banks of this mighty river. The Volga cleaves European Russia from north to south and divides it from east to west, and for centuries, the mighty Volga has challenged and inspired Russians in their quest for expansion, modernization, and self-identification. The river and its role in Russian history is the subject of a new book by Professor Janet Hartley, Emeritus Professor of International History at the London School of Economics: “The Volga: A History of Russia’s Greatest River” (Yale University Press, 2021). The Volga: A History of Russia’s Greatest River (Yale UP, 2021) examines the role of the river in Russia’s development as a political and economic power, but also the river’s enormous impact on Russian culture and national identity. Though the structure of the book is chronological, Hartley brings in the major events of Russian history as convenient mile markers, but it is the compelling narrative of social history which pulls us into the slipstream of the book. Several through lines emerge in Hartley’s account of “Mother Volga.” The river divides Russia from East to West, and often this division plays out in stories of contrasts: Muslim versus Christian, outlaws versus the state, pirates versus traders, and invading armies pitted against each other. But the river also unites Russia along the North/South axis, acting as a conduit for trade, culture, and political ideas. As Russians struggled through the centuries with their national identity, the Volga offered a potent symbol and cultural touchstone, which was amplified in poetry, painting, song, and later famously in sculpture. Though the river is most commonly evoked as a “mother” figure, Hartley points out that throughout Russian history rulers have often sought to “tame” the Volga: Ivan the Terrible famously had the river whipped, and contemporary poets portrayed the river as a supplicant to Catherine II as she expanded the borders of the Russian empire. Hartley also takes us inside twentieth-century attempts to tame the Volga, which have resulted in lasting environmental harm to the life-giving river, and leaves us hopeful that the generation now coming of age will take on the challenge of redressing this damage. Janet Hartley is Professor Emeritus of International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where she worked for over 30 years.  Jennifer Eremeeva is an American expatriate writer who writes about travel, culture, cuisine and culinary history, Russian history, and Royal History, with bylines in Reuters, Fodor's, USTOA, LitHub, The Moscow Times, and Russian Life. She is the award-winning author of Lenin Lives Next Door: Marriage, Martinis, and Mayhem in Moscow and Have Personality Disorder, Will Rule Russia: A Pocket Guide to Russian History.

This week the guest on our podcast is Timur Georgievich Kobaliya, a Russian human rights activist and graduate of the American International Visitor Leadership Programme and the UK Foreign Office's first visitor's programme for human rights defenders in Russia. Timur is the founder of the NGO TV Russia and former head of the Human Rights Council of Volgograd. Timur also heads the international organisation Georgian-Russian Forum and has three applications against the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.The questions we discuss in the podcast include: When and why Timur Georgievich became a human rights defender; when NGO TV was set up and why; successes and difficulties; the impact of the law on foreign agents; Volgograd as a region in terms of human rights; cooperation with the authorities; future change for better or worse; Navalny's return; what's next for human rights organisations in Russia; what lies ahead for Russian civil society in the coming years.The podcast is in the Russian language. You can listen to the podcast here on Podcasts.com and also on Rights in Russia (https://www.rightsinrussia.org/podcast-6), SoundCloud, Spotify and iTunes. The music, from Stravinsky's Elegy for Solo Viola, is performed for us by Karolina Herrera.Sergei Nikitin writes on Facebook: Timur Kobaliya was one of the founders of the Youth Advice and Training Centre in 2010 which is when he began working on human rights issues. In 2013 the centre was labelled a “foreign agent”. As Timur told us, the formal impetus for this was the NGO's participation in the Georgian-Russian forum, which the human rights defender heads. The actions of the Russian authorities, including the fines levied against the Centre, prompted Timur and his colleagues to appeal to the ECtHR. The closure of the Centre prompted Timur to set up two organisations: the Volgograd Human Rights Council and the Internet Channel for NGOs (NGO TV). Timur runs the television channel with a staff of six and, understandably, the authorities could not but give it their attention. The channel's presenter, journalist Aleksandr Batmanov, was sentenced in October 2017 to two years and one month in a maximum-security penal colony after being found guilty of stealing Kolbasa [like a German sausage] from a supermarket. The European Federation of Journalists added Aleksandr Batmanov to its list of journalists prosecuted for their professional activities. Although the mission of NGO TV Russia is to promote the activities of non-profit organisations and civic associations, activists and youth, the local authorities are stubborn in their unwillingness to cooperate with such groups, refusing to see them as allies. The picture is familiar, and not only for Volgograd. Simon Cosgrove and I had an interesting conversation with Timur, and we invite you to listen to this recording.Simon Cosgrove adds: If you want to listen to this podcast on the podcasts.com website and it doesn't seem to play, please download by clicking on the three dots to the right.

Ko se danes oziramo v majske dni leta 1945, ko s eje pred 75. leti končala druga svetovna vojna, se nam kaj lahko zazdi, da je bil to radosten čas. Vsi smo vendar videli fotografije mornarjev, kako ob zmagi poljubljajo dekleta na newyorškem Times Squaru, videli smo tudi nasmejane partizane, kako korakajo po s soncem obsijanih ulicah pravkar osvobojene Ljubljane. Toda te ikonične podobe nas ne smejo preslepiti. Ko so na stari celini puške naposled utihnile, je bilo opustošenje resnično pretresljivo: v vsega šestih letih je umrlo od 35 do 40 milijonov ljudi. Strašljiva je bila tudi škoda, ki je povsod po celini doletela stanovanjske objekte. Od z zemljo zravnanega britanskega Coventryja prek Dresdna in Varšave do Minska Evropejci na koncu povečini niso imeli kje bivati. Kot v knjigi Podivjana celina opozarja sodobni britanski zgodovinar Keith Lowe, so do konca vojne z delovanjem prenehale malodane vse institucije, ki jih običajno povezujemo z normalnim funkcioniranjem sodobne civilizacije, med njimi državne in krajevne oblasti, policija, potniški promet, pošta, prekinjena je bila celo oskrba z najosnovnejšimi živili. Brezzakonje, bolezen, lakota in smrt vsepovsod, torej. Kako se je Evropa znašla v takem položaju? Kako je mogoče, da je po pičlih 21 letih, ki so minila od konca prve svetovne, tako imenovane vélike vojne, za katero se je nekoč celo govorilo, da si v luči opustošenja, ki ga je pustila za seboj, nihče ne bo drznil začeti novega spopada, 1. septembra leta 1939 vendarle izbruhnila še druga svetovna vojna? Kateri zgodovinski dejavniki so pravzaprav vodili v ponovni ples smrti? – Prav to vprašanje nas je zaposlovalo v tokratni Intelekti, ko smo pred mikrofonom gostili tri zgodovinarje: dr. Kornelijo Ajlec, predavateljico na Oddelku za zgodovino ljubljanske Filozofske fakultete, dr. Bojana Godešo, znanstvenega svetnika pri Inštitutu za novejšo zgodovino, in dr. Egona Pelikana, znanstvenega svetnika pri Znanstveno-raziskovalnem središču Koper. Oddajo je pripravil Goran Dekleva. foto: Mati domovina kliče, spomenik padlim branilcem Stalingrada, Volgograd, Rusija (Goran Dekleva)

Are Pringles really worth it? Could you shower on a stage? These are the questions we must answer this week on A&E’s 60 Days In (0:00). This show has it all: fresh meat, bloody sheets, and a roommate named Rita.  In going with the broken prison system theme, Love After Lockup (24:02)! Cheryl makes her first appearance of the season and she’s really made a change. Let me be clear, I mean her clothes. She’s still batshit crazy & could fit a semi through her thigh gap. You who else should be on this show? Clint & Tracie from 90 Day Fiancé (44:46)! They weren’t the only couple bringing in some dark energy to this show. I’ll argue Emily & Sasha could bring a gloomy Volgograd smog to any rose garden worldwide. I’ll forever stan Sister Emily!  SUBSCRIBE, SHARE & LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW! *PATREON Bonus Episodes, ad-free episodes, free merch & more at http://www.patreon.com/realitvpod *Total Request Podcast at http://www.patreon.com/amandaandjodie YOU request the shows, WE watch them & break em down!

We caught up with Matthew Conger, a FIFA referee who officiated the Group Stage matchup between Nigeria and Iceland in Volgograd in Russia 2018. Born in the USA, Matthew currently referees in the New Zealand Football Championship as well as the A-League in Australia. We spoke about what got him in to refereeing in the first place, his refereeing travels around the world and he speaks candidly on VAR, specifically around the one VAR decision at his match during the World Cup.

Luigi De Pascalis, Volgograd, La Lepre

Grímseyingar ætla að halda sína fyrstu bæjarhátíð um helgina og fagna saman sumarsólstöðum. Fjöldi viðburða verður á dagskrá alla helgina og er búist við því að íbúafjöldi þrefaldist á meðan á hátíðinni stendur. Við heyrum í Guðrúnu Ingu Hannesdóttur, eins af forsprökkum hátíðarinnar. Það er nokkuð víst að hátt spennustig verður á landanum í dag því kl. 15 mætum við Nígeríu í öðrum leik okkar á heimsmeistaramótinu á HM. Í gær tryggðu Króatar sér sæti í 16 liða úrslitum með öruggum sigri á Argentínu og verður því hart barist um það hvert hitt liðið verður sem fer einnig upp úr riðlinum. Við heyrum í Einari Erni Jónssyni íþróttafréttamanni sem er í Volgograd. Pétur Guðmundsson frá Ófeigsfirð hefur gripið til óvenjulegra ráða í deilunni um Hvalárvirkun á ströndum. Hann hefur lokað veginu að Hvalá með því að leggja dráttarvél þvert yfir veginn sem liggur yfir tún um landareign hans. Í viðtali við Fréttablaðið sagðist hann vilja sortera hverjir fara þarna um, hyskið, sem hann kallar svo, fær ekki að fara um túnið, bara þeir sem eru honum Þóknanlegir. Pétur kemur til okkar í þáttinn. Ætli það verði ekki fjallað dálítið um fótbolta þegar við förum yfir fréttir vikunnar í þetta skiptið. Til okkar koma Bergur Ebbi Benediktsson, sem skemmti strákunum okkar ásamt öðrum liðsmönnum uppistandshópsins Mið-Íslands, og Svanhildur Hólm Valsdóttir, aðstoðarmaður fjármálaráðherra og fótboltaáhugakona. Hégómavísindahornið verður á sínum stað í vikulokin og því fáum við heimsókn frá Frey Gígju Gunnarssyni.

Föstudagsgesturinn okkar er að þessu sinni var söngvarinn Bjarni Arason. Hann söng sig inní hjörtu landsmanna kornungur að árum í söngvakeppni Stuðmanna og hefur haldið áfram að syngja síðan. Hann elskar Elvis eins og svo margir og nú standa fyrir dyrum Elvis tónleikar hjá honum með öllu tilheyrandi. Bjarni sagði okkur frá æskuárunum og ýmsu í skemmtilegu spjalli. Við hringdum til Álandsseyja og heyrðum í Álfrúnu Helgu Örnólfsdóttur, en hún er þar stödd ásamt félögum sínum í hljómsveitinni The Post Performance Blues Band, en þær hafa verið að troða upp þar og hafa auðvitað í leiðinni kennt heimafólki víkingaklappið. Það er erfitt að hunsa fótboltann þessa dagana og í tilefni leiksins hringdum við til Rússlands og heyrðum Gunnari Helgasyni. Hann var í Moskvu á leik Íslands og Argentínu, hefur svo dvalið í Rostok og eru núna kominn til Volgograd þar sem leikurinn við Nígeríu fer fram eftir rúma þrjá tíma. Við heyrðum hvernig Rússland er að fara með þau og hvernig stemmningin er fyrir leikinn.

Landsmót UMFÍ verður með öðru sniði í ár en hingað til. Áhersla verður lögð á almenningsíþróttir sem allir geta tekið þátt í hinum ýmsu greinum sér til skemmtunar. Fjölmargir skemmtilegir viðburðir verða á mótinu sem ætlað er allri fjölskyldunni því markmið mótshaldara er að hvetja alla til að hreyfa sig sér til heilsubótar. Við ræðum við verkefnastjóra Landsmótsins, Pálínu Ósk Hraundal. Guðmundur Björn Þorbjörnsson fréttamaður stendur vaktina í Volgograd í Rússlandi þessa dagana og fylgist vel með öllu því sem tengist HM og Íslendingum. Hann hefur, ásamt Grími Jóni Sigurðssyni myndatökumanni, meðal annars unnið podcastþætti sem aðgengilegir eru á ruv.is. Við tökum stöðuna á þeim félögum og heyrum í Guðmundi. Það lyftist aldeilis brúnin á íbúum höfuðborgarsvæðisins að minnsta kosti í gær þegar langþráður blíðviðrisdagur rann upp. Fjölmargir drukku í sig sólargeislana enda hefur tíðarfarið undanfarið verið sögulega ömurlegt enda hafa magir kvartað undan talsverðum pirringi vegna þessarar eilífu rigningar. Við sláum á þráðinn til Þórgunnar Ársælsdóttur geðlæknis og spyrjum hvort hægt sé að útskýra hvers vegna veður hafi svona mikil áhrif á lund fólks. Þau tíðindi bárust vestanhafs í gærkvöldi að Donald Trump Bandaríkjaforseti hafi undirritað forsetatilskipun þess efnis að hætt verði að skilja að foreldra og börn innflytjenda og þar með bundið enda á afar umdeilda stefnu ríkisstjórnar sinnar. Bryndís Ísfold Hlöðversdóttir stjórnmálafræðingur kemur og ræðir þetta við okkur. Grétar Jónsson og Kristbjörn Hilmir Kjartansson lögðu af stað á forláta Lödu Sport frá Íslandi þann 5. júní á leið sinni á HM í Rússlandi. Þeir sigldu með Norrænu til Danmerkur og keyrðu þaðan til Rússlands. Þeir náðu til Moskvu þar sem Ladan bilaði fyrir fáeinum dögum og hefur verið í viðgerð. Þeir verða þó að leggja af stað í dag ætli þeir að ná á leik íslands gegn Nígeríu í Volgograd á morgun enda tæplega þúsund kílómetra vegalengd þar á milli. VIð sláum á þráðinn til Grétars.

Innkastið er að þessu sinni sent út frá Volgograd leikvangnum þar sem Ísland og Nígería mætast á morgun. Elvar Geir og Magnús Már fóru yfir það sem hefur verið að gerast í Volgograd. Hörður Snævar Jónsson var með þeim og Tómas Þór Þórðarson var á kantinum. Meðal þess sem um var rætt: Fjarvera Jóa, áhugaverðir fréttamannafundir dagsins, flugur, frestaður fjölmiðlaleikur, styttuskoðun og rýnt í leik morgundagsins.

Harðlínustefna Donalds Trump Bandaríkjaforseta í málefnum innflytjenda sem veldur því að börn eru aðskilin frá foreldrum sínum á landamærum hefur vakið hörð viðbrögð um allan heim. Alls hafa um 2.300 börn verið tekin frá foreldrum sínum á síðustu fimm vikum, allt niður í ársgömul, og vistuð við hörmulegar aðstæður, jafnvel í búrum. Donald Trump sagði í gærkvöldi á fundi með Repúblíkönum að hann vildi binda enda á þetta fyrirkomulag - en hand sýndi samt sem áður ekki áhuga á að fylgja því eftir, að því er fram kom í fjölmiðlum í morgun. Logi Einarsson, formaður Samfylkingarinnar, hefur óskað eftir fundi í utanríkismálanefnd Alþingis. Við spyrjum hann hvort Íslendingar ætli að bregðast við og hvað við gætum gert. Einar Örn Jónsson, íþróttafréttamaður, verður á línunni hjá okkur frá Rússlandi en fótboltalandsliðið fer í dag til Volgograd þar sem leikurinn mikilvægi gegn Nígeríu fer fram á föstudag. Þorgrímur Þráinsson í íslenska hópnum, verður á línunni frá Rússlandi. RÚV hefur hlotið gagnrýni frá keppinautum vegna sölu auglýsinga tengdum sýningum á leikjum HM og hefur því meðal annars verið haldið fram að RÚV hafi í skjóli stöðu sinnar sópað að sér nær öllum auglýsingum á kostnað minni fjölmiðla. Kvartað hefur verið undan RÚV til fjölmiðlanefndar og Samkeppniseftirlitsins sem hefur óskað eftir sjónarmiðum RÚV. Við ræðum þetta við Magnús Geir Þórðarson útvarpsstjóra. Guðmundur Jóhannsson kemur í sína vikulegu heimsókn með fréttir úr tækniheiminum. Í dag ætlar hann að segja okkur frá framfaraskrefi hjá IBM í þróun gervigreindar.

Morgunvaktin hófst á pistli Freys Eyjólfssonar frá New York um áform Trumps Bandaríkjaforseta um að koma á fót geimher. Trump vill að Bandaríkin ráði yfir geimnum, ekki sé nóg að stunda rannsóknir. Vera Illugadóttir sagði frá því að hugsanlega er að fást botn í eina þekktustu óleystu ráðgátu listasögunnar, hvarf hluta altaristöflu í dómkirkjunni í belgísku borginni Gent. Flæmski málarinn Jan van Eyck málaði töfluna 1430 en eins og hálfs metra langri og hálfs metra breiðri fjöl úr henni var stolið 1934. Síðan hafa margir reynt að hafa upp á þessum hluta altaristöflunnar og nú hefur belgískur verkfræðingur komið fram með lausn málsins, að því að hann telur. Hann segir hana grafna niður þar sem nú er torg í borginni. Grímur Jón Sigurðsson sagði frá mannlífi í rússnesku borginni Volgograd, en hann ásamt Guðmundi Birni Þorbjörnssyni gerir HM í fótbolta skil á Morgunvaktinni á Rás 1 samhliða því að þeir búa til hlaðvarpsþættina Gerska ævintýrið um ferðalag sitt. Metaðfjöldi umsókna barst um skólavist í Háskólanum á Akureyri í ár. Ágúst Ólafsson fréttamaður ræddi þá staðreynd og ýmislegt er varðar HA og háskólana í landinu við Eyjólf Guðmundsson rektor Háskólans á Akureyri. Tónlist: God only knows - Beach boys. Undir dalanna sól - Karlakór Reykjavíkur og Óskar og Pétur Pétussynir. Sól í dag - Jakob Frímann Magnússon.

HM innkast dagsins var tekið upp á flugvellinum í Gelendzhik rétt fyrir flug til Volgograd þar sem Ísland mætir Nígeríu á föstudaginn. Magnús Már Einarsson og Arnar Daði Arnarsson fóru yfir málin ásamt Guðmundi Hilmarssyni íþróttafréttamanni á Morgunblaðinu. Gummi kom með góðar sögur af því þegar Gylfi Þór Sigurðsson var að sparka í bolta í garðinum hjá honum á yngri árum. Gylfi og Viktor Örn, sonur Gumma, hafa verið bestu vinir síðan í æsku og Gummi fór yfir spyrnutæknina með þeim í Hafnarfirðinum í gamla daga. Farið var vel yfir Nígeríu leikinn og stöðuna í riðlinum. Byrjunarliðið gegn Nígeríu var skoðað og Gummi boðar komu gamla skólans á Instagram í umræðu um vinsældir Rúriks Gíslasonar þar.

Þátturinn hófst á Þýskalandsspjalli Arthúrs Björgvins Bollasonar sem sagði fyrst frá því að þýska þjóðin var í áfalli eftir tap Þýskalands gegn Mexíkönum í fyrsta leik á HM í Rússlandi. Hann rakti líka umfjöllun í þýskum fjölmiðlum um Ísland í aðdraganda leiks Íslands og Argentínu. Þarlend Viðskiptablaðakona flutti m.a. langan pistil um um spillingu í íslensku efnahagslífi og stjórnmálum. Þá fór hann yfir stöðuna í þýskum stjórnmálum en brestir eru í stjórnarsamstarfinu vegna ólíkra áherslna Seehofer innanríkisráðherra og Merkel kannslara í málefnum innflytjenda. Andrés Ragnarsson sálfræðingur svaraði spurningunni Hvað er ráðlagður dagskammtur af fótboltaáhorfi? Svar hans var á þá leið að óhætt væri að horfa á nokkra leiki á dag svo fremi sem það væri gert í samkomulagi við annað heimilisfólk og eftir atvikum vinnuveitendur. Mikilvægt væri þó að hugsa vel um sig, drekka vatn, borða hollan mat og fá góðan nætursvefn. Hann talaði líka um jákvæð áhrif þátttöku Íslands á HM á andlegt atgervi þjóðarinnar og ræddi ennfremur um nýja tilkynningu Alþjóða heilbrigðisstofnunarinnar um að tölvufíkn sé geðsjúkdómur. Guðmundur Björn Þorbjörnsson talaði frá Volgograd en hann er þar ásamt Grími Jóni Sigurðssyni við mannlífsrannsóknir í tengslum við HM. Moskíflugur, hiti og mögnuð saga Volgograd, sem áður hét Stalíngrad, var m.a. til umræðu. Ágúst Ólafsson fréttamaður ræddi við Steinunni Kristjánsdóttur fornleifafræðing um fornleifauppgröft að Þingeyrum í Húnaþingi. Blómlegt menningarlíf í Kópavogi var til umfjöllunar en heimsóknum í menningarhús bæjarins fjölgaði á síðasta ári frá árinu á undan. Soffía Karlsdóttir, sviðsstjóri menningar, ræddi þau mál vítt og breitt. Tónlist: Kaupakonan - Bogomil Font. Þú fullkomnar mig - Sálin hans Jóns míns.

Chris, Ben and Dave come down with World Cup fever, discussing the transfers at Stoke to begin with but then getting swept up in the greatest show on earth. Also, Alex Marrow is our man in Volgograd

Because the Russian Orthodox Church is such a vital part of Russian culture, its views can be an important influence upon the society in which it operates.  During the Great Patriotic War (1941-5) against Nazi Germany, the Church encouraged Christians to resist the enemy and pray for victory.  The Church's memory of the conflict fits with the modern Russian government's remembrance, which upholds the war's Soviet fighters as moral role models.  This dynamic also creates a somewhat ironic memory of the Soviet Union itself, especially considering the Communist government’s persecution of religious believers.  Through the religious historical documents, modern statements, and media productions studied in this podcast, the non-religious Soviet Union is somewhat turned into a "basically Christian" nation that fought the evils of fascism.

Slaget om Stalingrad. Stalingrad. Alene navnet har en helt særlig klang. Slaget om byen ved Volga-floden, der bar den sovjetiske diktator Josef Stalins navn – blev det psykologiske vendepunkt for krigen på Østfronten – og på sin vis for hele 2. Verdenskrig. Det skete med det tyske nederlag den 2. februar 1943 ved Stalingrad. Her måtte op mod 300.000 soldater – fortrinsvis tyskere, rumænere, russiske hjælpetropper mfl. og efter måneders kamp, hvor man til sidst blev indesluttet, udsultet og afskåret fra forsyninger til sidst kapitulere til de overlegne sovjetiske styrker. Men bare et par måneder tidligere, da så situationen bestemt ikke sådan ud set fra Tysklands fører Adolf Hitlers position. Dramaet er senest beskrevet i den britiske historiker Anthony Beevors mesterlige skildring ”Stalingrad”, der senest er udkommet på Lindhardt og Ringhofs forlag. Vi taler om bogen og slaget med kommandør Poul Grooss, der er guide på ture til den mytiske russiske by, der i dag hedder Volgograd. Jarl Cordua See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dmitry Kozak, Russia's Deputy prime minister, speaking at a news conference ahead of the official start of Games, was asked at least three times about potential terrorist threats. "We can guarantee safety and security in Sochi. We can guarantee the safety of people as well as any other government hosting any mass event. The terrorist fear is always of a global nature and in any place and sport on our planet it has the same nature. All countries have a database about terrorists and, based on the information we have received, Sochi is under no more threat than any other city on the planet." While the potential for terrorism might be a major story in the media's mind, for the athletes, potential threats undoubtedly take a back seat to the goal of achieving Olympic glory. I ran into speed skaters Stefan Groothuis and Jan Smeekens leisurely touring the entertainment center. "Hi! Hello. Where are you guys from? Netherlands. What do you think about Sochi So far? Really good. Like the medal plaza, and all the stadiums, are really high quality, and i feel kind of safe as well... You feel safe? Well, it raised our concerns a little bit before we came here of course, but what i've seen from now, it looks they've done their maximum, their best to let everything be safe and things will go well I think." Meanwhile, Deputy Chef de Mission of the Chinese delegation in Sochi, Xiao Tian, says he's also confident in Russia's ability to keep people safe. "We already heard about the terrorist attacks, so we made preparation for emergencies like that, but in the end, we still believe that Russia's Sochi organizing committee has the ability to ensure the safety of the delegations participating in the Winter Olympics." Russian forces are on high alert after a pair of suicide bombings killed at least 34 people in December in the southern city of Volgograd, which is a key transfer hub for people to get here to Sochi. A number of threats have also been leveled at the Games themselves, most of which are believed to have come from Islamist extremists in Russia's southern Caucuses region. Some 40-thousand security personnel are deployed in Sochi, which is a city of just 300-thousand. Security forces have created, what has been described as a "ring of steel" around all the venues. On top of the athletes taking part in the Games, the opening ceremonies later on this evening in Sochi will also be attended by dozens of international leaders, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, which adds to the vigilance of the Russian security forces. For CRI, I'm Ding Lulu in Sochi.

Officials with the International Olympic Committee are suggesting the Sochi Winter Olympics venue is almost ready to play host to the world, nine days ahead of the opening ceremonies. The Olympic Village has yet to receive its first athletes. However, IOC representatives have toured the facilities. Sandrine Ray is an advisor to the International Olympic Committee. "My first impression is that everything is pretty big, there are a lot of volunteers, everything new and this big advantage is that everything is in the same place, all the venues, the sports venues and the Olympic Village and all the facilities are really close to each other." One of the key concerns of the forthcoming Games in Russia is security. However, the IOC's Director of Olympic villages contends Sochi is the safest place in Russia right now. Security staff have closed off access to the Black Sea coastline in Sochi to keep the venues secure. Athletes arriving at Olympic Park will have to pass through security scanning and will be bussed directly to their villages. Russian authorities have deployed more than 50-thousand police officers and soldiers to guard the Olympics. Back-to-back suicide bombings in the southern Russian city of Volgograd, a key transit hub to get to Sochi, left 34-people dead in late December.

Om Olympiska spel bland förbittrade folk, oläkta sår och i rädslan för terrorn. Vinter-OS i ryska Sotji sätter fokus på Rysslands mest oroliga landsdel där minnet av kriget är färskt och där terrordåd är en del av vardagen. Hör röster från Krasnaja Poljana, Maikop, Nevinnomyssk, Pjatigorsk, Groznyj och Moskva. Strax före nyår dödades 34 människor i två självmordsattacker i den sydryska staden Volgograd, norr om OS-staden Sotji. Attentaten kopplades snabbt samman med läget i de oroliga republikerna i norra Kaukasien, där Sotji ligger. Med mindre än en månad kvar till OS sätter Konflikt fokus på området  mellan Svarta havet i väst och Kaspiska havet i öst  som är ryska Nordkaukasien. Konflikts producent Johanna Melén, till i höstas Sveriges radios Moskvakorrespondent, återvänder till sina resor i regionen och berättar om tjerkesserna som inte kan glömma hur deras land togs ifrån dem, om de unga i Stavropolregionen som inte längre vill vara en del av Kaukasien, om imamen i Pjatigorsk som räds extrema islamister och om Usman i Groznyj som genomlevt en förvisning, två krig och som nu söker sin försvunna son.  Vi möter också grekerna Volodja och Jevdokija i OS-byn Krasnaja Poljana som hoppas att OS ska föra något gott med sig till deras hemtrakt. I studion finns journalisten och Rysslandskännaren Torgny Hinnemo och med från en studio i Genève Benedicte Berner, ordförande för människorättsorganisationen Civil Rights Defenders. På ett kafé i Moskva träffar Johanna Melén författaren Alisa Ganijeva, uppväxt i Dagestan, och som skrivit en roman där nationalisternas krav på en uppdelning mellan Ryssland och Kaukasien blivit verklighet. Hon berättar om oviljan från många ryssars sida att se Kaukasien som en fullvärdig del av landet men vittnar också om en ökad radikalisering bland jämnåriga hemma i Dagestan. Och på telefon från Moskva ger Kaukasienkännaren Aleksej Malasjenko sin förklaring till varför den ryska ledningen har så svårt att komma till rätta med problemen i Nordkaukasien.
