Have you heard this yet?
What happens when communism breaks out in Russia? - Nothing for a long time, and then corpses run out.

No, really!

Turns out:
In Russia, you can't donate your corpse to science so easily. Physicians are trained on imported bodies, often from the United States. But now there are trade sanctions and imported bodies are in short supply.

You can't make this up! 

For those who don't know the reference, iIt's an old joke from the Cold War.
What happens when communism breaks out in the Sahara? Nothing for a long time, then the sand becomes scarce. *tush*

Synder's contribution here is absolutely marvellous. 

Also worthy to note China's complete deafness to Synder's main point. 

The concluding remarks (from about 2:00:00 onwards) are fantastic. The Russian delegation basically has no response, mumbling, we'll find a way to get back to you later.

for those who can read German, here's a great article
 by a Russian who now lives in Germany. 

deepL translation of one excerpt:

In the grammar of Russian violence, the subject, the perpetrator of violence, can never stand without an object, without a "terpila," tolerator. Whoever wants to talk about peace with Russian violence must not be deaf to it. With tolerators who tell Russia about its "legitimate interests" is only possible to deal , see above. When Putin utters “Surrender, my beauty.." in the video, some life comes into his gaze, his eyes narrow, one corner of his mouth pulls up, Putin seems satisfied by the speech act alone.

Even under the tsar, countries that Russia subdued were said to have been "pacified. In the Soviet Union it was called peace struggle, and we learned in peace lessons how the Western peace movement helped our country to fight for peace all over the world. Today, it is helping Putin.

Every time the word "peace" is mentioned, even if it is only in an Internet comment, it is registered in Russian open-plan offices and it is echoed back, amplified. Every post means one more bullet in someone's flesh, every flyer with Picasso's dove makes more people hide in the basement of their house, because uniforms move into their apartment, come to them in the basement, beat them up, rape them, shoot them until everything "surrenders".

Heil Neocon Power!

"The bill’s authors claimed it was modeled on the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938. The U.S. law, enacted 80 years ago to expose Nazi propaganda, requires people to disclose when they lobby in the U.S. on behalf of foreign governments or political entities."


The move came two days after the Russian state-funded television channel RT registered in the United States under a decades-old law known as the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

RT officials had complained repeatedly about being forced to comply with the law, and warned of retaliation.

The Kremlin and Georgian Dream spread similar narratives about protests in Georgia

Narratives attempt to discredit protesters, blame the West for public dissent

By Eto Buziashvili and Sopo Gelava

Anti-Russian, anti-government protests in Georgia forced the country’s ruling party, Georgian Dream (GD), to withdraw its bill on “foreign agents,” while GD officials attempted to discredit the protests by spreading anti-Western narratives, echoing Kremlin propaganda, including the threat of another Russian invasion and blaming the West for orchestrating the protests.
