News -
Today is a national holiday - Trinity.
But some places are open. I noticed a car dealership was working as usual.
And also the main shopping centre.
But - basically - It was quiet this morning, very quiet, as I went for a walk by the river in the park.
I met a couple of drunks - man and woman - who had obviously spent the entire night in the park )
such sometimes is the "holiday" in Ukraine for many.
I was reading the last post yesterday by Admin - someone suggesting that Russia under Putin is now worse than the Soviet Union under Stalin.
Maybe. His control of all is absolute. And the fear of the Russian people is very significant.

The squirrels in the park don't have a care in the world.
But the people - Putin has made the whole world worried.

A lovely morning. Some cloud. I went to the park and had a game of badminton. Some children were playing volleyball quite early - around 9 am.
Temperature now, at mid day - about 26. Comfortable.

On the river, the water is still. A nice morning for fishing. A couple of boats are out there. Some cloud, light wind, a touch of sun.

Whistle-Blowing Russian 'Troll' Gets Her Day In Court

A young woman who says she was hired by a Russian company to dissemble and to promote certain political views online has come out of the shadows to shine a light on her purported former employer and the practice, known as "trolling."

Lyudmila Savchuk was due in a St. Petersburg district courtroom on June 1 to argue that a company called Internet Research withheld details of her employment and firing after she tried to blow the whistle on its practices.

Savchuk says she was fired after an interview she gave earlier this year in which she described work for Internet Research, which is based on St. Petersburg's Savushkin Street, as part of Russia's "troll factory.

She has filed a lawsuit alleging that her former employer failed to provide any contract or paperwork supporting her hiring and dismissal.

Since she was dismissed in March, she has also set up a social-media group, Information Peace, to speak out against online trolling.

Moscow’s top five myths, fakes and stupidities about Ukraine this week

1. When Moscow Needs ‘Evidence’ of Ukrainian ‘Fascism,’ the DNR Comes Through. The Russian foreign ministry said that Moscow hopes the OSCE will react to what it said was the presence of Nazi symbols on Ukrainian military equipment. Shortly thereafter, Bukovsky reports, Aleksandr Zakharchenko, the head of the DNR, came through with what Moscow said it needed. He showed a Ukrainian flag with a swastika drawn on it but provided no evidence that he had not put the swastika on it himself (ria.ru/world/20150528/1066902471.html ).

2. Stalin is Now a Regular on Russian Icons – and Putin Makes an Appearance There Too. Given what Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin did to destroy religion, one might think that Orthodox Russians would not want to honor him by putting his visage on icons. But that is not so, and some Russian nationalists are celebrating his increasingly frequent appearance on them (zavtra.ru/content/view/prohorovka/). Although Bukovsky does not mention it, Vladimir Putin is now appearing on icons as well, the result one Russian religious commentator says of the Moscow Patriarchate’s too rapid expansion in the number of bishoprics and the deteriorating level of the knowledge of those who occupy those positions (expertmus.livejournal.com/190509.html).

3. Who is Selling a Ukrainian Passport? Russian media last week were filled with reports that “Ukrainians have begun to sell their passports on the Internet.” (See, for example, vesti-ukr.com/strana/101444-ukraincy-reshili-prodavat-svoi-pasporta-za-2000-dollarov.) Efforts to track down those who supposedly are doing so, however, has not found the mass phenomenon Moscow suggests has emerged. Instead, it appears some of the passports being sold were stolen and that their sale simply reflects the following reality, Bukovsky says: “Some make their way in live by the minds; others by the sale of passports.”

4. DNR Says Ukraine Plans ‘New Chemical Attack’ but Provides No Evidence. DNR field commanders this week said that that Ukrainian forces were preparing “a new chemical weapons attack.” But the reports collapsed of their own weight because those who made these declarations demonstrated by what they said that they had no idea what was contained in containers that they insisted had chemical weapons (voicesevas.ru/news/yugo-vostok/14282-vsu-gotovit-diversii-v-donbasse-s-ispolzovaniem-himicheskih-veschestv.html).

5. ‘No One Doubts’ Life is Becoming More Joyous in the DNR – Except Those Living There. When conditions were at their worst in Soviet times, Moscow propagandists resorted to the formulation that “no one has any doubts” that things are getting better. Now, the DNR powers that be have adopted the same formula: Those who look around themselves can see that there are problems, but the pro-Moscow forces insist that “no one has any doubts” that everything is getting better all the time (nahnews.org/241858-smi-dnr-za-god-dostigla-bolshix-uspexov-chem-ukraina/)...............

The journalist called the main feature of the closure of the Putin project "New Russia"

Ukraine's decision to block Transnistria, in particular, Russian troops that are there, proves the final phasing of the project "New Russia", through which Russian President Vladimir Putin was going to grab a part of the territory of Ukraine.

This is the conclusion in his article came the first deputy chief editor of "Apostrophes" Denis Popovic.

He recalled that on May 21 the Verkhovna Rada terminated the five agreements between the governments of Ukraine and Russia concerning the military cooperation between the two countries. Among other things, it was to denounce the agreement between Kiev and Moscow on transit through Ukrainian territory of Russian troops who are temporarily in the territory of Moldova. Moreover, the recent decision directly concerns the Russian peacekeepers in the territory of the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR), which actually turned out to be isolated.

This decision, according to the author, said the closure of "New Russia".

"Ukrainian blockade of Transdniestria, likely brings the project a final line under the so-called" New Russia ", folding which two weeks ago, said the leader of the eponymous movement, former MP from the Party of Regions Oleg Tsarev. As you know, this project represents the creation of a pro-Russian puppet state Education "New Russia", which was to extend from Kharkov to Odessa region precisely to connect Russia and Transnistria "- he recalled.

"If the project" Great New Russia "to land corridor in Crimea in Mariupol would be more relevant, the Ukrainian side is unlikely to be decided on a blockade of the unrecognized republic, has long and firmly situated in Russia's sphere of influence," said the author.

"Maybe in Ukraine it is well known, but this week I heard another briefing by the US State Department, and I can confidently tell that here it would be big news.

This is a good example that the EU can't work together. It seems one wants justice and the other wants to practice selfish greed. Maybe the EU's better off breaking up and each man for himself, as there's too many two-faced attitudes within Europe.
