#Ussuriysk

[unhonestlymirror]

Interesting phenomenon: an actor named Borys Khmelnytskyi, born in Ussuriysk, near China (the favourite place of communists to exile Ukrainians to), lived in Kyiv, studied in Lviv, played in Taras Bulba, photographed in vyshyvanka... is named "russian actor" in all possible internet sources! Moreover, his biography is surprisingly short and clean for someone who played Robin Hood and was, in general, very popular.

On the picture above: a scene from "Ivanhoe," Borys Khmelnytskyi as Robin Hood on the left, and Romualds Ancāns (Latvian) as Richard the Lionheart on the right.

North Korea has started sending troops to fight with Russia in Ukraine, South Korea's spy agency has said as Seoul warned of a "grave security threat".

The allegation comes a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he believed 10,000 North Korean soldiers could join the war, based on intelligence information.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol called for a security meeting on Friday and said the international community must respond with "all available means".

According to the spy agency, 1,500 troops have already arrived in Russia - with anonymous sources telling South Korean media the final figure could be closer to 12,000.

This comes as evidence mounts that North Korea is supplying Russia with ammunition, as recently demonstrated by the recovery of a missile in Ukraine’s Poltava region.

Moscow and Pyongyang have also been deepening their cooperation in recent months. Last week, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un greeted Russian President Vladimir Putin on his birthday, calling him his "closest comrade".

Friday's security meeting was attended by key officials from South Korea's National Security Office, the Ministry of National Defence, and the National Intelligence Service, Yoon's office said.

"[The participants] decided not to ignore the situation and to jointly respond to it with the international community using all available means," it said.

The allegation from the National Intelligence Service (NIS) comes days after Ukrainian military intelligence sources said that Russia's army is forming a unit of North Koreans.

The BBC has asked the NIS for comment.

On Thursday, Ukraine's spy chief Kyrylo Budanov claimed that there were nearly 11,000 North Korean infantry troops training in eastern Russia to fight in Ukraine.

"They will be ready [to fight in Ukraine] on 1 November," Lt Gen Budanov, who heads the Ukrainian Defence Intelligence Directorate, told The Warzone website.

He added that the North Koreans would be using Russian equipment and ammunition, and the first group of 2,600 soldiers would be sent to Russia's western Kursk region, where Ukraine holds a number of settlements after launching its incursion in August.

Earlier this week, Putin introduced a bill to ratify a military pact he made with Kim, which pledges that Russia and North Korea will help each other in the event of "aggression" against either country.

South Korea's spy agency, the NIS, said North Korean troops are training in Russian bases in Vladivostok, Ussuriysk, Khabarovsk, and Vlagoveshensk.

This appears to confirm information from a military source in Russia’s Far East, who told BBC Russian this week that “a number of North Koreans have arrived” and were stationed in one of the military bases near Ussuriysk.

Seoul's spy agency also released aerial photographs of Ussuriysk and Khabarovsk, where they say hundreds of North Korean troops have gathered, and another photo of North Korea's Chongjin port, where a Russian ship was reportedly shown carrying North Korean soldiers.

The NIS said it found that since August, North Korea has sent 13,000 shipping containers carrying shells, missiles, and anti-armour rockets to Russia.

As many as eight million 122-mm and 152-mm shells have been supplied to Russia, it said.

However, some military experts believe the Russian military units will have difficulties incorporating North Korean troops into their frontlines.

Apart from the language barrier, the North Korean army has no recent experience of combat operations, they said.

“They could guard some sections of the Russian-Ukrainian border, which would free Russian units for fighting elsewhere,” said Valeriy Ryabykh, editor of the Ukrainian publication Defence Express.

“I would rule out the possibility that these units will immediately appear on the front line.”

NATO said for the first time about North Korean military in the SMO zone

North Korean soldiers have been sent to the Kursk region to help the Russian army liberating its territory and this should be ‘immediately put an end to’. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on 28th October.

‘Kiev's military seized parts of Kursk in August in an operation that marked the first military offensive into Russian territory since World War II. Pyongyang's battlefield assistance to Russian President Vladimir Putin alarmed Western allies, with Rutte pointing to the North Korean deployment as a ‘dangerous expansion’ of the conflict,’ Politico said in a publication.

In fact, the AFU with foreign mercenaries did not enter Kursk, as Politico writes, but occupied part of the Kursk region.

‘I can confirm that North Korean troops have been sent to Russia and North Korean military units have been sent to the Kursk region,’ the new NATO secretary-general told reporters shortly after meeting with a senior South Korean intelligence official.

Rutte added that Moscow's deployment of North Korean troops means ‘a significant escalation of the DPRK's ongoing involvement in Russia's illegal war’ and ‘a dangerous expansion of Russia's war.’

The NATO secretary-general also said, the publication noted, that the deployment of North Korean soldiers in the Russian region shows Russia's weakness and is ‘a sign of Putin's growing desperation.’

Earlier, on 17th October, Volodymyr Zelensky even named a specific number of North Korean soldiers who, in his opinion, would fight in Ukraine on the side of the Russian Armed Forces - 10 000 people.

A day later, South Korean intelligence published a press release in which it claimed that 1.5 thousand soldiers from the DPRK were allegedly already at Russian training grounds in the Far East - in Vladivostok, Ussuriysk, Khabarovsk and Blagoveshchensk.

Both Moscow and Pyongyang denied the allegations, saying they were ‘groundless stereotypical rumours’ aimed at tarnishing the image of the DPRK and Russia and undermining the legitimate, friendly and partnership relations between them.

In an interview with journalist Olga Skabeyeva, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that ‘if there are pictures, it means they reflect something’ and recalled Article 4 of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between Russia and the DPRK, which provides for military assistance to the other side that has been attacked.

Hi, I around a couple of hours ago I fell down the rabbit hole of Lelush's ordeal and I heard that you understood his rap and called it terrible, I'm really curious. How bad is it? And what more do you know on Lelush? I plan on making a long post on him but if you don't feel like answering you can take your time or not answer this at all ^^ you seem like you're in a rough mental health state and I wouldn't want to compromise that.

Take care!

Friend, that is very considerate of you but you should know that I can never be too physically ill or crazy to talk about Lelush.

That said, he's pretty enigmatic. I've googled him in Russian and English and the information is sparse and superficial, just that he's a Russian named Vladislav Ivanov from Vladivostok or possibly Ussuriysk, he's maybe a model/student/journalist, he studied in China and America and has a major boner for the former.

As for his rap, however - it's not his. It's a very very bad trap song by an artist called Mr Lambo (the original video got taken down because of some label drama I couldn't possibly begin to care about). The lyrics are nearly incomprehensible to a Russian person older than 20 due to an oversaturation of American slang conjugated according to Russian linguistic rules and just it being very, very dumb and shallow. But the original artist was 100 percent sincere, which is amazing. Lelush covered this masterpiece and improved on it by sounding so dead inside it's like he transcended death; his delivery is by someone, or something, that's never even been born to begin with.

That's all I know, unfortunately this man hasn't given many (or any) interviews that may help shed light on...anything

Blue Whale Challenge, Did It Lead to Rina Palenkova's Death?

In 2015, Rina Palenkova died by suicide. She was only 17 years old when she made the heartbreaking decision to step in front of a train in Ussuriysk, Russia. This sad event has been connected to her possible involvement in the Blue Whale Challenge, an online game. We are deeply concerned about how online challenges can affect vulnerable people, and in this article, we will explore Rina’s case and how it relates to the Blue Whale Challenge, aiming to help you better understand this distressing issue.

Rina Palenkova: Suicide

The Blue Whale challenge began with Rina Palenkova, a teenager from south-eastern Russia. On November 22, 2015, she posted a selfie of herself standing outside with a black scarf covering her mouth and nose, and her middle finger raised to the camera with what appeared to be dried blood on it. The caption for the photo read: “Nya bye”. The following day, she tragically took her own life. The death of Rina Palenkova was widely discussed in chat rooms hosted by Russia’s biggest social network, VKontakte.

These forums were frequented by teenagers who would normally talk about topics such as school and crushes, but also darker matters like depression, isolation, and suicide. Creepy stories circulated on the platform as users shared fake pictures or manipulated footage to make them seem more believable. It was similar to horror films claiming to be “based on true events”. The suggestion of realism is key to any good ghost story. In these groups where the distinction between truth and fiction often got blurred, people posted intensely about Rina. In some cases, they praised her for taking her own life.

Videos claiming to show her last moments were shared online. Rumors surrounded the story of Rina Palenkova’s suicide, but no one was sure what really happened. Daria Radchenko, a senior researcher at the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, investigated the “Blue Whale challenge” and concluded that Rina’s story had blended with other reported suicides among teenagers.  On December 25th, 2015, 12-year-old Angelina Davydova and Diana Kuznetsova, a young person from Ryazan, both ended their lives. When their parents looked through their online accounts, they found drawings of Rina Palenkova, posts about suicide, and references to blue whales in similar online groups.

The hypocrisy of China’s Russian border disputes

The war in Ukraine has bound China and Russia closer together.

But just under the surface, a long history of border disputes between the two lies momentarily dormant. With nationalism ascendant in both countries, it’s a potential wedge issue that could push the two nations apart.

Last summer, a video of a stone slab covered in Chinese characters that was discovered by tourists in Vladivostok, Russia, went viral on Chinese social media.

It was evidence that the modern-day city of Vladivostok had been part of Chinese territory up until the mid 1800s, during the Qing dynasty – and revealed the controversial history between the two countries.

The fact that Russia and China have often exchanged territory throughout their histories also highlights the problems with the narrative that Taiwan is part of China’s territory.

“If China's claims on Taiwan are about territorial integrity then it should also take back land from Russia signed over by the last Chinese dynasty in the 19th century,” said Taiwan President Lai Ching-te in an interview with Taiwanese media this September.

In 1860, after the Second Opium War, China and Russia signed the Convention of Peking, which transferred 400,000 square kilometers of Chinese territory to Russia, including Sakhalin and Vladivostok. More recently, Vladivostok was the Russian military port where North Korean soldiers were trained for fighting in Ukraine.

Even today, Chinese people, including migrants living in Taiwan, still call Vladivostok its old name, Hai Shen Wei (海參崴) – and its history has become like a fishbone stuck in their throats.

John Slava Pei lived in Vladivostok for several years.

John Slava Pei is one of the very few Taiwanese people who has lived in Vladivostok, and has seen the stone slab – known as a stele – with his own eyes. John, who even has a Russian name, С��ава, lived in the city for several years before returning to Taiwan.

(Other tourists took pictures of the stone slab and searched for the original script. Photo credit: 牡丹江筆談. )

He told the Counteroffensive about the stele’s meaning, and how it came to be in Vladivostok.

In 1899, the Boxer Rebellion began. It was a civilian uprising that had the Qing emperor’s blessing, which aimed to force foreigners out of China. More than ten thousand foreign businessmen, officials, and missionaries were killed.

The bloody revolt ended after a war with the Eight-Nation Alliance, which included Russia. During the fighting, the Russians gained the upper hand, leading the Chinese to commission a tribute in their honour, pledging allegiance.

Modern Russians in Vladivostok seem not to care much about the stele, John Slava Pei said. It has been left for over 120 years without any cover that would shelter it from the sun or rain, which has meant that some of the carved words have been eroded.

“I think the Russians didn’t understand much about what it says, so they just left the stele there,” said John. He then showed me pictures he had taken of other heritage the Chinese had left in Russia, displaying connections that many choose to forget.

“You can tell from these pieces of evidence that this place used to belong to China,” John said. The place has changed, but the Chinese influence is everywhere. “You see the Russian structures, signs, and culture all over Vladivostok but also with some Asian elements.”

When he was living in Russia, John visited Chinese sites near his home. In Ussuriysk, a town near Vladivostok that is similarly close to the Russian border, there is a Chinese Stone Tortoise from the 12th Century sitting in a local park.

In Vladivostok, he also visited the Vladimir K. Arseniev Museum of Far East History to witness the famous Yongning Temple Steles. Chinese officials in the Ming Dynasty built the Yongning Temple Steles in record of an official tour in 1413, showing the territory was under China’s control. The Russian have kept them since they took the land.

The shared history continued into modern times. With the Soviet Union’s support, Mao Zedong declared the formation of the People’s Republic of China on October 1st, 1949. The Soviets confirmed the diplomatic relationship with the CCP the next day, and signed the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance, and Mutual Assistance in 1950.

Even after that, many in Taiwan and China hoped to take back territory that had been given away to the Russians. John’s father was a Chinese migrant who served with Chiang Kai-Shek‘s nationalist army in the 1950s, and had a strong will to make China “united.”

The patriotic passion was passed on to John. “I remember the first time I went to Vladivostok. I pulled out our national flag and yelled, ‘Return Vladivostok!‘” laughed John with embarrassment. “It was so stupid.”

As the 20th century wore on, relations between China and the Soviet Union soured. The two countries had different visions of Communism, and the Sino-Soviet split formed

In 1969, tensions ultimately turned into a serious border conflict near Damansky (Zhenbao) Island, which petered out before it became full blown war. After Richard Nixon's official visit to China in 1972, China became more closely aligned with the US.

Although the CCP didn’t have the best relationship with the Soviets, they never tried to negotiate the return of Vladivostok, as far the official record shows. It is hard to dispute that Vladivostok belongs to Russia now. And border agreements have been mostly settled.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, China and Russia have tried to show the world that they’ve moved on by using Vladivostok as merely a naval base. Those modern connections are what brought John to the city.

After hosting an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Vladivostok in 2012, Russian President Putin announced a plan to help the city grow by building its first-ever casino. Vladivostok hoped to attract tourists from everywhere, but especially from China.

Before he came to Vladivostok, John was working as a Russian translator.

“I was probably a Russian in my past life,” he quipped. He recalled his second year at university, debating what language to choose as his second major. “I didn’t want to learn popular languages so I thought about choosing Turkish or Korean, but their department was on the fourth floor. I passed the third floor and saw the Russian department. I walked in and registered for the courses.”

In 2016, a shareholder in Vladivostok casino, a Taiwanese company named Firich Enterprises – which built the casino’s slot machines – recruited John. He packed his luggage and moved to Vladivostok right away.

John worked at the Tigre de Cristal casino.

John was in charge of translating and managing tours for guests staying at the casino, be they Russian or Chinese. With his history major background, it was something close to his dream job. Sadly, he couldn’t bear being separated from his family for too long and moved back to Taiwan in 2019, right before Covid.

After John’s return, the Ukraine war began a new phase in Chinese-Russian relations. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, it has increasingly been relying on China’s economic and military support. The current Chinese Premier Li Qiang visited Moscow in August and claimed that “Chinese-Russian relations are at an unprecedentedly high level.”

Due to their support for Russia’s war in Ukraine, China has paved the way for Russian support if they invade Taiwan. In fact, Russia has claimed that Taiwan is part of China multiple times.

But underlying all this are centuries of more complex relations. Politicians from both countries prefer not to mention their historical conflicts, so they ignore the handful of Chinese influencers who have tried to trace the tensions online.

Living in Taiwan now with his family, John understands better than most people that one way to handle divided politics is to brush it under the carpet.

He and his wife avoid discussing political issues because their family supports different political parties in Taiwan.

“There isn’t really much to talk about,” said John. The harmony of the family is more important.

Sometimes it’s better not to touch the trigger that would upset both sides.

NEWS OF THE DAY:

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Tim says hi from Taipei, where he’s reporting out a couple stories.

CYBERATTACKS ON TAIWAN DOUBLED IN 2024: Up to 2.4 million cyberattacks occur daily, mostly from Chinese hackers. More than 80 percent of attacks targeted government agencies, and attacks on telecommunications (+650 percent), transport (+70 percent), and defence supplies (+57 percent) increased significantly.

VENEZUELA DETAINS THREE UKRAINIANS, ACCUSED THEM OF ‘TERROR’: Along with the Ukrainians, two U.S. citizens and two Colombians were detained, all over similar accusations. Maduro stated that the group planned to attack Venezuela, but did not provide evidence. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not commented on the situation yet.

PUTIN'S WAR ECONOMY OF 2025 IS IN TROUBLE: President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine sparked economic growth in Russia based on government stimulus. Nearly three years later, there are signs that it is time to pay the bills.

Russia faces sanctions, a recent currency devaluation, an unclear outlook for oil prices, and the prospect that its largest trading partner, China, will not be able to shake off serious economic problems on its own.

The central bank predicts a sharp drop in growth to 0.5% in 2025, down from last year's forecast of 3.5-4%, and inflation will not return to the 4% target until 2026.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK:

Hi, it’s Elaine here.

It’s been a few weeks since the American election and the world is slowly processing it. While many foreign countries are wary about Trump’s return, Taiwan has conflicted emotions.

In 2020, Taiwan led amongst Asian-Pacific countries in its support for Trump, favoring him with 42 percent support over Biden’s 30 percent. Trump’s anti-China policies are comforting to the Taiwanese who’ve suffered from years of bullying from their neighbour.

As he prepares to return to the White House, Trump hasn’t disappointed the Taiwanese. He named Sen. Marco Rubio as his Secretary of State, a man who China sanctioned.

The video above shows a few Taiwanese restaurants offering discounts for all meals of the day to celebrate Trump’s win. “Trump wins so the price of food supply can drop,” claimed one of the restaurant owners.

Data from Taiwan Minister of Agriculture. The right side shows the top countries where Taiwan imported goods from during the period January to October 2024. The USA remains the larges in the category with more than 21% of all imports.

Whether the restaurant owner is right and food prices will drop remains to be seen. Taiwan imports most of its grains from the US and South America, and not from Europe. Despite this, Taiwan was affected by the rise in world grain prices thanks to the war in Ukraine. Many hope an end to the war could lower grain prices.

However, according to Statista, the price of wheat, the main grain exported from Ukraine, has already been dropping steadily since last year. In fact, the grain inflation caused by the Ukraine War has had a limited impact on Taiwan – far less than the effects of the pandemic.

But some of Trump’s pronouncements suggest he could have a negative effect on Taiwan’s economy. Last year, Trump made a statement accusing Taiwanese chip companies of stealing business from America. Since then, the media has been speculating that the new TSMC factory in Arizona, which is the biggest Taiwanese chip manufacturing company, won’t get the funding promised by the Biden administration’s Chip Act.

In response, the Taiwanese opposition voices have hit back at Trump. Taiwan Plus, the national Taiwanese channel that broadcasts in English, called the elected president Donald Trump a convicted felon while reporting the US election.

Taiwan Plus’s pronouncements caused controversy, and Minister of Culture Li Yuan was questioned by Congress. He pointed out that it is common for Western media to discuss Trump’s ongoing criminal cases, claiming that “foreign journalists have different points of view than the Taiwanese media, and there is a gap between them”.

But many in Taiwan do not want to see criticism of Trump. One congressman from the Kuomintang party, Lo Chih-Chiang, criticized Taiwan Plus for “holding Taiwan back on diplomacy”.

Throughout all this, the incoming president's stance on the Ukraine War remains a strong factor in how Taiwanese people feel about Trump. Some worry that Taiwan would become a pawn for Trump in international diplomacy, and that he could “sell out” Taiwan as people speculate what he could do to Ukraine.

Some Taiwanese hope that business links are the way to keep good relations with Trump. Many believe the “silicon shield” of TSMC, with its most advanced chip manufacturing method, could protect Taiwan from China’s invasion and retain American support.

But at the same time, TSMC plans to expand its productivity in the US, speculation that the firm might lose its market advantage has been all over the Taiwanese media. Once America is capable of producing its own chips, some fear Taiwan may lose Trump’s interest and support.

DOG OF PEACE:

Today’s dog of peace is this little pup that belongs to John and his wife, who is pictured here meeting a local celebrity Sonia Sui.

I told John the puppy was attracted to her beauty. He told me it was because of the food.

What do you think?

Stay safe out there.

Best,

Elaine

[ad_1] Dozens of towns and villages have been submerged under water in Russia’s Far East amid ongoing flash floods since early August, the environmental news outlet Kedr reported Friday. Russia’s Primorye region — which for weeks has been under a region-wide state of emergency since — witnessed fresh flooding from heavy rainfall in 19 settlements. Another 34 towns and villages in the Far East region have been entirely cut off from major roadways, Kedr reported, citing local emergency authorities. Video shared online showed two schoolchildren riding an inflatable rubber boat on their first day of school in the city of Ussuriysk.  Boats operated by emergency crews were the primary mode of transportation across the Primorye region during the back-to-school day on Friday, or as it is known in Russia “Day of Knowledge,” Kedr noted. Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry warned that heavy rains would continue over the next two days, causing river banks to hit “critical” levels of up to 2.5 meters above normal levels and flood adjacent territories. Meanwhile, authorities in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the administrative capital of the Russian island of Sakhalin, imposed a citywide state of emergency after a monthly norm of rain fell in a single day. More than 300 homes in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk were submerged by up to a meter of water, Kedr said. Forecasters warn that Typhoon Saola, which is currently on approach to Hong Kong and southern China, will bring more heavy rains to the Russian Far East in early September. [ad_2]
