Stark monuments

The Treptower Park is a large park on the banks of the river Spree in Berlin. Always designed to be a public park, it was built between 1876 and 1888 on the site of a public woodland that had been gifted by Otto III of Brandenburg to provide firewood. From May to October 1896 it was the site of the Great Industrial Exposition of Berlin. Modelled on past World Fairs in London and Paris, Berlin…

Inauguration of a Dictator and Remembrance of Aggression Victims

You're tuned into our special broadcast from the weekly rally at the Russian Embassy in Lisbon. Today is May 4, 2:30 PM.

This coming May 7 marks yet another inauguration of the illegitimate Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Under Putin’s regime, Russia has morphed into a de facto dictatorship, where fascist-style propaganda has cultivated a disturbing cult of personality. The regime's commitment to neo-imperialist ideologies has turned the concept of the “Russian World” into a tool for inciting wars. It’s declared a war on its own people, forcibly Russifying indigenous groups within Russia. Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church has escalated this rhetoric, branding the conflict against Ukraine and what he calls the “satanic” West a “holy war of all Russians,” with countries like Belarus, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela echoing this aggressive stance. These alarming developments were highlighted in PACE resolution No. 2540, adopted on April 17, 2024. https://pace.coe.int/en/files/33511/html

On the day of Putin's inauguration, activists from the global community Free Russians Global will hold a rally at The Hague, near the building of the International Court of Justice. Named PutInJail: Prison, not Kremlin, this event calls for justice, not pageantry. The rally is scheduled for 12:00 and you can learn more about this event at this link. https://www.facebook.com/events/1437417300212871/

Even if you cannot join in person, you can still support this cause from afar. Take a photo with relevant posters, share it on social media with the hashtag #PutInJail, and send it directly to the organizers via their dedicated Telegram bot at this link. https://t.me/send_protest_photo_bot

Just this May 2, the channel “To be honest” released a video where concerned Russian citizens from various cities gathered at the President's reception office. They submitted what they claim are thousands of signatures calling for the president's impeachment. A Google form linked in their video allows more signatures to be gathered, accessible here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l06JihgB0hU

Looking ahead to May 12, at noon in Madrid, the Association of Free Russians of Spain together with the Anti-War Committee will hold an international march in memory of the victims of military aggression and political repression. This event coincides with the anniversary of the end of World War II, a victory whose credit the Putin regime has controversially claimed. The march also protests against the ideology of victory fanaticism and fascist symbols, highlighting how citizens from numerous countries become hostages to authoritarian regimes, with freedom fighters often falling victim to these oppressive rulers. Details of the march can be found here. https://www.facebook.com/events/s/marcha-internacional-por-las-v/964566638650917/

On May 8 and 9, the Russian association Demokrati-JA will gather in Berlin's Treptower Park to emphasize the fragility of the free and safe world Europeans currently enjoy, untouched by bombs and shelling. They warn that if Russian aggression in Ukraine is not halted today, war could be at our doorstep tomorrow. They stand firm against those who, in the coming days, will flock to war memorials, glorifying past battles without respect for the fallen. More information on this gathering can be found here. https://www.facebook.com/events/310860055369130/

Neubrandenburg (2) (3) by falkm

Via Flickr:

(1) Treptower Tor. Going back to the town where I grew up, after about ten years (or more like twenty, if I forget the few irregular visits before), was a strange trip. Returning memories which were long lost, places which changed but still seem familiar, you know where to go without knowing where you are... (2) Don't get tricked by the nice framing. This little piece of rock is, as far as I know, artificial. It used to be torpedo testing ground, and is now a popular hangout place for waterbirds. (3) Augustabadat sunset. Funny that I never much appreciated the richness of the area (maybe because of the poverty of people at my school). To me it was just a city. Living 800km away, I now miss the area.

Cccp, Fedeli alla linea 1984 – 2024 a Reggio Emilia

"I Cccp non potevano che nascere a Reggio Emilia, la città più filosovietica del blocco occidentale", ha detto Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, voce della band che, circa quarant'anni fa, con il primo EP Ortodossia, cominciò a cambiare la storia della scena punk italiana. Sciolti nel 1990, poco dopo la caduta del muro di Berlino, da allora i Cccp sono sempre stati presenti nel panorama musicale italiano, dove le loro canzoni sono state reinterpretate, sono usciti documentari, libri, perfino tesi universitarie sulla loro musica. La mostra ai Chiostri di San Pietro di Reggio Emilia sulla storia del Cccp , aperta fino all’11 febbraio 2024, stata ideata da Ferretti, insieme a Massimo Zamboni, Annarella Giudici, Danilo Fatur, che hanno dato vita a un'enorme esposizione-spettacolo che invade 28 stanze per un totale di 1800 metri quadri. Annarella Giudici ha messo a disposizione le memorie, gli oggetti, i costumi di scena che ha conservato nel tempo, così le loro performance rivivono sugli schermi,  gli slogan, i testi delle canzoni invadono gli spazi, come i titoli della carta stampata a loro dedicati, Sono tanti i luoghi che si incontrano nel percorso espositivo,  Berlino, la città dove tutto ebbe  inizio, nel 1981, e poi Reggio, Carpi, Beirut, il mondo arabo, Urss e paesi satelliti, Cina, Mongolia, Kabul, fino a Fellagara, la casa dei primi Cccp, quella che ha potuto ascoltare in anteprima assoluta le loro prime canzoni. All'ingresso, superata l'enorme scritta Felicitazioni, nel chiostro piccolo si trova una parata di 24 bandiere degli  stati socialisti che non esistono più, nel chiostro grande una lastra originale del Muro di Berlino, dal quartiere Treptow, e una Trabant, circondati da cavalli di Frisia, mentre un cartello avverte Sie verlassen jetzt West Berlin" cioè State lasciando Berlino Ovest. Il viaggio continua nelle sette sale del piano terra, con un omaggio a Luigi Ghirri, incaricato di rappresentare il disco finale Epica etica etnicae pathos e vi sono esposte tutte le 28 fotografie, in parte inedite, che Ghirri scattò a Villa Pirondini. Al primo piano ci sono la Stanza della Grafica, l'incontro con la Storia, la stanza Amandoti, dove  un'enorme installazione sonora riproduce l'unico inedito dei Cccp, , disponibile solo qui. La mostra è stata  promossa dal Comune di Reggio Emilia, Fondazione Palazzo Magnani, mentre il progetto è stato finanziato grazie ai Fondi Europei della Regione Emilia-Romagna. Read the full article

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: Mohrenstrasse U-Bahn station, Berlin. Sited close to Hitler's Reich Chancellery, when the U-Bahn was refurbished after WWII, the decor was reputed to recycle the red marble from the destroyed Nazi building.

The Soviet War Memorial in Treptower Park is similarly clad.
