The eyes of wrought Judgment.

Vladimir prison, September 1st, 2012, 9:33 am.

Language: Russian, English.

*The cold steps of the guards echo across the hallways of the prison, each step getting louder as they get closer to the cellblock on the west wing of the prison. Walking to the west wing is Nikolai along with two prison guards. As he moves, he looks around the cells, each showing the "enemies of the revolution", showing a variety of inmates ranging from industrial workers, to student activists, terrorists, spies, disgraced politicians, gang members, and foreign people of influential interest, like some Poles and Germans activists as well as counter-revolutionaries *

*Eventually, they reach Cellblock 5683 on the west wing, and sitting on the prison bed is a man with disheveled hair and a small goatee, with the number 4564 embalmed on his prison uniform. Without hesitation, Nikolai opens the cells and steps in with the other guards*.

Nikolai: Ah, comrade Tolstoy, I see you didn't sleep well.

Tolstoy: What the hell do you want?

Nikolai: Why, I came here just to congratulate an old friend, Is it bad to meet a fellow KGB member here? "chuckles"

Nikolai: But if you want to know why I'm here, it is to carry out your sentence that the court has decided for you.

Tolstoy: My sentence?

Nikolai: Indeed. "takes out a document of the final verdict", Boris Tolstoy, you have been found guilty of assisting enemies of the state as well as committing acts of terrorism against the nation. The punishment is death, do you have anything to say in your defense?

Tolstoy: What is there for me to say that I have not said to you animals?

Nikolai: "waves his hand at the guards"

*The two guards proceed to come to Tolstoy and one of them punches him clean in the stomach, sending him to the floor while the other one holds him up and puts his arms behind his back as they continue to beat him up in the body parts like the abdomen, the stomach, and the face with kicking and punching, like a beatdown as Nikolai just stands there*

WHACK!

Tolstoy: Agh!

KICK!

Tolstoy: Ugh!

KICK!

Tolstoy: "Coughs"

PUNCH!

Tolstoy: Ah!

*Nikolai continues to look at the beatdown at first glance with a stoic expression for a few minutes, watching the former agent get beaten to a pulp*.

Nikolai: Enough. Let him go.

*The guards look at Nikolai for a bit, then proceed to drop him on the pavement, and he falls to the floor, Struggling to get up, Nikolai proceeds to walk to the fallen spy, who has bruises on his face and body, with some blood dripping out of the lip *

Nikolai: "tosses a pack of cigars to the floor" See this? This is what you were trying to use to hide it, weren't you? Trying to smuggle AK 47s to Kenya for the capitalist government, weren't you? Under the guise that it would be for the revolutionaries, weren't you? On a shipment from Havana, in the proximity of one of my comrades?

Nikolai: All of that training and planning went to dust the moment I found out. All I had to do was to make a phone call, round up your fellow conspirators, and coerce them into giving you up, and the rest you have known already.

Nikolai: But I don't still understand why, Why would you do this, hm? Why would you betray your comrades for the West? What is the gain from all of this?

Tolstoy: Hnngh... why? B-because of men like you! Men like you are the reason why the country is suffering and so behind. The West has grown up and changed, meanwhile, we've been in the same bullshit since 1917 all those years back! This was not what the revolution was about! And besides, I could no longer be part of a regime with individuals that would continue this slaughter of the people and sacrifice them for the Western hordes to eat! So I figured that I could try to help them my own way, by sabotaging your expansion.

Nikolai: And it failed, miserably. All it did was just delay us for a few days and that was it. Besides, no matter what happened, we always were going to get Kenyatta, no matter if you betrayed us or not. I'm ashamed of people like YOU, comrade Tolstoy.

Tolstoy: Save me the comrade bullshit, asshole. I don't consider you a comrade as far as I'm concerned.

Nikolai: I see then. Well, that's not going to change much. I hate doing this to fellow comrades, Tolstoy, but not to people who would destroy the very foundation of equality and freedom we have built for decades. The triumph of world socialism is near at hand, a better world for workers around the globe. Sadly, you will not get to see that world firsthand, as you will just be one of the many who will be a speck in the new history.

Nikolai: This is the price of betrayal, Tolstoy. do svidaniya, goodbye. "looks at the guards" Dispose of him, please.

*And with that, Nikolai proceeds to leave the cell, as the guards proceed to beat on Tolstoy again, this time with batons as h*

PUNCH!

Tolstoy: Ugh!

WHACK!

Tolstoy: Ah!

WHACK! WHACK!

Tolstoy: Agh! Ah!

*The guards mercilessly continue to beat the agent to a pulp even when he starts to cough up blood. The sound of batons and the cries of pain from Tolstoy ring through the prison, as the rest of the inmates either watch or look away from this*

Future Hajime: (That was life back then, a life being dictated by fear and forced loyalty to the state. I've heard ghost stories about what happened to dissidents and activists in the Soviet Union from my peers. They say you have to be careful what you say over there about the government the communist ideals and the system itself, or else you may never come back or live to see morning)

"cuts to the Volga River, where they toss Tolstoy into the river, or at least, his ashes being scattered across the river".

Future Hajime: ( Some say you get shot to death, others poisoned, and even sometimes hanged for treason, plus a whole lot of disturbing methods the Reds use to torture you or have you dead. Obviously, I thought those were just rumors back then, but boy was I wrong. If there was anything I learned back then, it's that you oppose the Russians and their allies at the very peril of your own and loved one's life)

"Finally cuts to Nikolai, looking at the folder for Tolstoy, and then tossing it into the incinerator, walking away after doing that, closing the door just as the folder slowly begins to melt away into ash"

Two Russian State Duma deputies with the ruling United Russia party were reported dead on Sunday.

The death of 77-year-old Nikolay Bortsov, who served as a State Duma deputy since 2003, was announced by Igor Artamanov, the governor of the Lipetsk region. He died at his home Lebedyan.

On the same day, State Duma Deputy Dzhasharbek Uzdenov died at the age of 57 after a "serious and prolonged illness," Vladimir Vasilyev, head of the United Russia faction, said.

A number of prominent Russians have died in unexplained or unusual circumstances since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

No cause was given for Bortsov's death. He had previously been hit by sanctions from the United States and other Western countries in connection with Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Newsweek reached out to Russia's Foreign Ministry via email for comment.

Bortsov was one of Russia's wealthiest government employees, with an estimated net worth of $550 million, according to the Latvia-based independent news outlet Meduza. He was included by Forbes in 2021 in a ranking of the country's 100 richest federal workers.

He was sentenced in absentia in Ukraine to 15 years in prison on March 21 alongside 19 other members of the Russian State Duma for voting to recognize Russian-installed authorities in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region.

The Security Service of Ukraine said those convicted were: Sergey Altukhov, Andrey Alshevsky, Olga Zanko, Andrey Anikeev, Grigory Anikeev, Valentina Artamonova, Otari Arshba, Alena Arshinova, Timofey Bazhenov, Zarif Baiguskarov, Nikolay Bortsov, Vadim Bulavinov, Dmitry Islamov, Mikhail Kuzmin, Denis Maidanov, Nikolai Pankov, Yuri Petrov, Olga Pilipenko, Valentina Pivnenko, and Dmitry Pogorely.

The head of Russia's Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin called the verdict illegal.

Uzdenov, 56, was a member of Russia's House Committee on Ecology, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection.

"A hard day. Death snatched another comrade from our ranks. Jasharbek (Dzhasharbek) Borisovich Uzdenov, a deputy of the State Duma, the former Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic died after a severe and prolonged illness," Vasilyev said.

Vasilyev expressed his condolences to the relatives and friends of Uzdenov.

"Sensitive, attentive, strong-willed, always ready to help—this is how we will remember Jasharbek Borisovich. He fought for a long time, but, unfortunately, the disease turned out to be stronger. We will miss him very much," he said.

Uzdenov was elected to the State Duma on September 19, 2021. He came under U.S. and New Zealand sanctions after the war began.

At least 20 Russians have died in mysterious circumstances since the war began last February, including Ravil Maganov, the chairman of Lukoil, Yuri Voronov, the founder and general director of the Astra-Shipping transport and logistics company, Vladislav Avayev, a former Kremlin official and vice president of Gazprombank, and Major General Vladimir Makarov, an officer who oversaw the Kremlin's crackdown on anti-war protesters.

Hello honey, thank you so much for your wishes for myself, your understanding and your so kindly stating it! ( ◡́.◡̀)(^◡^ )

I match you with... (っ＾▿＾)💨

KUNIKIDA DOPPO!

VIRGO AND AQUARIUS ARE ONE OF THE MOST SENSITIVE COUPLES CHANGE MY MIND. Ahem, I think Kunikida would fall in love with you after playing a round of chess with you LOL! Because he's very attracted to intelligence and you have a pretty attractive one (; The beginning of your relationship was a bit awkward because you both found it awkward to be comfortable with someone else, but things definitely got sweeter as time went by. INTP and ISTJ are a pretty harmonious couple, they're really diplomatic. By the way he's so in love with your eyes <3 -like me-

I definitely see Kunikida as someone who donates to people with disabilities or health problems and tries to help, even if he's emotionally naive. (": That's why he's pretty good with your health problems, always supports you, and if you ever feel bad or depressed about any trait you have, he will always be there to remind and support how wonderful you are by your side. He's the perfect husband material.

You love that his feelings are extremely pure and sincere. He never sees you down on himself/anyone alse, on the contrary, he always makes you feel like best creature even if it is wrong. He loves that you are quiet and intelligent, but also compassionate and understanding. You look like an old married couple to a lot of people LMAO IKSDFLADHLLFSDKH Ahh he's so goofy, I love him <3

All in all, he's pretty happy with you! Here are some of the memories I dream of for you: Helping children together who are having difficulties, chess tournaments that are played sometimes until the morning and always involve giggling, dinner prepared while listening to a playlist that goes from soft rock to hard rock, and finally, the afternoon's you do business side by side with your non-dominant hands clasping each other. <3

Hope you'll like it! <3

Misteri sull'asteroide Tunguska Pietrosa

Curiosità che forse non sai sull’evento di Tunguska. Oltre un secolo dopo l’esplosione nei cieli della Siberia, ci sono ancora molti misteri che avvolgono uno degli impatti planetari più famosi della storia. Nei pressi dell’orbita terrestre ci sono circa 30mila asteroidi, i cosiddetti asteroidi near-Earth, o vicini alla Terra. Ogni tanto qualcuno di questi si trova nel posto sbagliato e nel momento sbagliato, impattando inesorabilmente sulla Terra.

Gli effetti dell'evento sulla zona registrati da una spedizione russaBettmann Come il 30 giugno 1908, quando nei pressi del fiume Tunguska Pietrosa, un piccolo asteroide esplose a mezz’aria, in quello che è il più grande evento di impatto planetario avvenuto in tempi storici. Non è un caso se proprio il 30 giugno di ogni anno ricorre l’Asteroid Day, giornata internazionale dedicata all’importanza dello studio e del monitoraggio degli asteroidi.

Universal History Archive/Getty Images L'onda d'urto L’esplosione da 15 megatoni avvenne tra i 6 e i 12 chilometri di altitudine, e causò la propagazione di una gigantesca onda d’urto. Questa spianò 2150 chilometri quadrati di foresta, abbattendo decine di milioni di alberi. Causò inoltre un terremoto di magnitudo 5 e alcune persone vennero colpite anche a decine di chilometri di distanza. L’aria spostata dall’esplosione fu misurata dalle stazioni barometriche di tutto il mondo. In questo modo sappiamo che l’evento è avvenuto esattamente alle 7:14 locali. Il corpo impattante Nel tempo su Tunguska è stato detto di tutto, dagli esperimenti nucleari fino alle navicelle aliene, ma l’ipotesi più sensata e probabile è quella di un impatto planetario.

QAI Publishing/Getty Images Ci sono numerose prove a riguardo: alcuni disegni fatti all’epoca da chi vide la meteora, la simmetria cilindrica del bosco spianato simile a quella che ci si aspetta da un asteroide o una piccola cometa. L’energia rilasciata dall’evento ha portato a stimare le dimensioni dell’asteroide: meno di 80 metri di diametro.

QAI Publishing/Getty Images Asteroide o cometa? Alternativamente gli studi scientifici hanno supportato l’idea che il corpo esploso a Tunguska fosse una piccola cometa della famiglia di Giove oppure un asteroide roccioso a bassa densità.

QAI Publishing/Getty Images Diverse prove portano a propendere per un’ipotesi o per l’altra, e ancora oggi non siamo certi di poter scegliere un tipo di corpo o l’altro. Le prime spedizioni L’evento di Tunguska avvenne in un periodo storico concitato: il mondo si preparava alla prima guerra mondiale, mentre in Russia era alle porte la Rivoluzione d’Ottobre che avrebbe portato alla nascita dell’Unione Sovietica.

Jenniskens et al., 2019 Insomma: indagare sul mistero di un’esplosione avvenuta nella taiga siberiana, non sembrava proprio una priorità. Ecco perché le prime spedizioni per capire cosa fosse successo non furono fatte prima degli anni ‘20 del XX secolo, dopo la fine della prima guerra mondiale. Un secolo sotto i riflettori Un secolo dopo, Tunguska è ancora uno degli eventi di impatto planetario più studiati in assoluto. Sono state fatte almeno un migliaio di pubblicazioni scientifiche (molte in russo) e un grande numero di spedizioni per capirne i dettagli, analizzando le poche fonti storiche, gli effetti sulla vegetazione e il territorio, eventuali tracce lasciate dall’impatto e così via.

Vittime silenziose Vittime silenziose

Spesso si dice che non ci siano state vittime. In realtà non lo sappiamo: da quelle parti abitavano gli evenchi, una popolazione di nomadi pastori di renne. Un ricercatore russo di nome Nikolay Vasilyev del Tunguska Exploration Group nel 1981 ha raccolto tutte le testimonianze dell’epoca e quelle dei testimoni evenchi ancora vivi in quell’anno. Tra le testimonianze alcune potrebbero suggerire delle vittime: probabilmente tre in totale, tra le quali un uomo sbattuto contro un albero dall’onda d’urto. Dove sono le meteoriti? Un asteroide piccolo ma comunque di dimensioni non trascurabili, potrebbe aver portato a terra delle meteoriti. Eppure, in quella regione non ce n’è traccia. Questa è una delle ragioni che porta gli astronomi a propendere per la piccola cometa: essendo ricca di materiali volatili e più fragili, le comete brucerebbero integralmente in atmosfera, senza lasciare meteoriti sulla superficie. Non è comunque escluso che in futuro verranno trovate alcune meteoriti causate da quell’impatto.

Lago Cheko forse Il cratere formato da Tunguska E il cratere? Un altro mistero riguarda l’assenza di un cratere da impatto. Un’ipotesi è che in realtà questo cratere ci sia e sia sotto gli occhi di tutti: il lago Cheko, situato a 8 chilometri a nord del punto dell’esplosione. Il lago ha la forma giusta per essere un cratere e si trova anche lungo la traiettoria che avrebbe seguito una meteorite dopo l’esplosione avvenuta a mezz’aria. Questa ipotesi sembra sia stata comunque scartata: il cratere sarebbe troppo grande e ad ogni modo il lago avrebbe almeno 3 secoli.

I cerchi negli alberi periodo Tunguska I cerchi negli alberi Uno dei modi per studiare cosa fu Tunguska è quello di analizzare i cerchi nei tronchi degli alberi. I cerchi nei tronchi infatti custodiscono la memoria degli eventi vissuti dagli alberi nel corso della loro vita. Un impatto planetario avrebbe lasciato traccia per esempio nelle polveri incastrate nella resina e poi inglobate dalla crescita del tronco. In questo modo è stato per esempio possibile capire parte della composizione del corpo che ha impattato e gli elementi trovati supportano l’idea che sia stato un asteroide roccioso a bassa densità.

Asteroidi pericolosi - NASA Gli asteroidi più pericolosi Di asteroidi near-Earth ce ne sono circa 30mila, ma solo 3000 di questi sono classificati come potenzialmente pericolosi. Monitoriamo costantemente queste rocce spaziali, e stiamo timidamente eseguendo i primi test di difesa planetaria come nel caso della sonda DART della NASA. Il problema sono quelli che non vediamo per tempo: gli asteroidi piccoli come quello di Tunguska non causeranno mai estinzioni globali in stile dinosauri, ma possono benissimo creare disastri su scala regionale, come è quasi successo nel 2013 sempre in Siberia, a Chelyabinsk. Cosa sarebbe successo se l’evento di Tunguska fosse avvenuto nel pieno di una metropoli? Read the full article

Vip e influencer "quasi nudi" alla festa più chiacchierata di Mosca: scattano le sanzioni

Una festa organizzata al Mutabor club di  Mosca a tema “quasi nudi” ha scatenato le proteste dei conservatori, dalla Duma alla Chiesa ortodossa, e anche dei soldati al fronte in Ucraina. E sono scattate le sanzioni. Il rapper Nikolai Vasilyev, noto come Vacio, che si era presentato con indosso solo un calzino a coprire le parti intime, resterà in carcere per 15 giorni oltre a dover pagare una…

The reason why i picked this artist was because they do resemble the type of patterns that i am looking for to go on my buildings that I am creating. The colours are very stunning to look at because the colours go well with each other. I'm inspired by the amount o effort that has been put into it which looks extraordinary. I would take so much time to create a bunch of patterns for the windows and doors which is why I'm only going to do a little amount just so it reflects on my work. The structure of the building and the design good an amazing aesthetic.

Nikolai: Я хочу начать эту встречу с того, что мы почти достигли того, о чем мечтали наши деды много лет назад: нового мира, управляемого пролетариатом, и равенства для всех.(I want to start this meeting off by saying that we have nearly achieved what our grandfathers started all those years ago, a new world ruled by the proletariat and equality for all.

Nikolai: За столетие коммунизм охватил большую часть Азии, некоторые части Латинской Америки, Ближнего Востока и Африки. НАТО начинает терять силу, и американское правительство пытается нас догнать(Within a century, communism has encompassed most of Asia, and parts of Latin America, the Middle east and Africa. NATO is starting to lose traction, and the American government are playing catch up.)

Nikolai: Мы уже стоим на пороге победы над капиталистами. (Already, we are on the verge on standing victorious over the capitalists)

Nikolai: Но мы еще не там. Запад начинает ужесточать свою позицию по отношению к нам, и остается еще обсуждать проблемы экономики, такие как сельское хозяйство и промышленность (But we are not there yet. The West is starting to toughen their position towards us and there is still economic affairs to disscuss)

Nikolai: В основном я работал над тем, чтобы возобновить его, начав управлять участками на Кубе и на Украине. В основном мы деколлективизировали сельское хозяйство, позволив некоторым садовым участкам оста��аться номинально функциональными вдали от плановой экономики и вернувшись к контрактному формату, позволяя им продавать все, что они могут, не давая им нереальных квот для выполнения. Мой двоюродный брат на самом деле управляет огромным садовым участком в Украине, которым я владею (I've mostly been working to get it restarted by starting to run off plots in Cuba and the Ukraine. We've mostly de-collectivized agriculture by allowing some garden plots to remain nominally functional away from the planned economy and returning to the contract format, allowing them to sell whatever they can without giving them unrealistic quotas to fulfill. My cousin actually is in charge of a huge garden plot in Ukraine, the one I own)

Nikolai: Но даже в этом случае люди по-прежнему продолжают покупать на черном рынке, несмотря на открытие торговли с Западом. Они теряют веру в революцию. Видите ли, мы поймали среди нас диверсанта (But even so, people still continue to buy from the black market despite opening trade with the West. They're losing faith in the revolution. You see, we've captured a saboteur in our midst)

Shinjo: диверсант?(Saboteur?)

Nikolai: Да, он пытался переправить оружие кенийским военным на грузовых судах, перевозящих сахарный тростник из Сантьяго в порт Донецк. На самом деле я его поймал очень просто. Все, что мне нужно было сделать, это позвонить одному из моих коллег по поводу этой незаконной поставки, заставить рабочих сказать нам, кто именно отдавал приказы, и тогда мы его поймали. В Ростове у себя дома, пока он принимал душ (Yes, he was trying to smuggle arms to the Kenyan military through cargo ships carrying sugar cane from Santiago to the port of Donetsk. It was actually simple how I caught him. All I had to do was to make a phone call to one of my associates about this illegal shipment, force the workers to tell us who exactly was giving the orders and then we caught him. In Rostov in his house while he was showering)

Nikolai: Все это время мы заботились о Кеньятте ( All while we took care of Kenyatta)

“The Thaw”, 1871

Fyodor Vasilyev

For a while now i’ve been falling in love with the works of Fyodor Vasilyev. As such I feel it’s worth while to share this painting.

Fyodor became the breadwinner for his home at 12 after his father’s death. At 13 he began taking painting classes at night through the Society for the Promotion of Artists. Here he met many artists who not only influenced him and helped him develop his signature landscape style, but also took care of him, as he was a child.

When he was 16 one of these artists, Ivan Shishkin fell in love with his sister, and took Fyodor under his wing. The two went out painting together often and there are paintings of the same location by the two artists.

Vasilyev became respected in local circles, and even grew to compete with Shishkin for awards, but it was not until this painting, at the age of 21, that Vasilyev became famous.

This painting, “The Thaw. 1871” won first prize in a competition held by the Society for the Promotion of Artists, and was noticed by then Prince Alexander III, later the Tzar, who purchased the work for his personal collection. The piece was even shown at the 1872 world’s fair in London, where it won a medal.

In a flash Fyodor became a National Icon and then an international sensation, but it was not to last. The same year he was awarded a prize at the worlds fair, at the age of 22, Fyodor Vasilyev was diagnosed with Tuberculosis. He would live and paint for another year before he died at 23.

His works were all exhibited and sold after his death, and he greatly influenced the next generation of painters. Of Vasilyev, Nikolai Ge said: “He discovered for us the sky”.
