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.

Understanding Rina Palenkova’s Death

[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]

[mariacallous]

Waldemar Masicz is a direct descendant of Vladimir Surovikin, a fighter pilot who served in the Russian Far East during the Korean War and died in a plane crash in 1966: when his engine failed, he tried to steer his aircraft away from the houses below, leaving himself no time to eject. Surovikin was posthumously awarded a Lenin medal. Today, a memorial plaque in the Siberian city of Ussuriysk commemorates his act of gallantry. To the chagrin of Surovikin’s great-grandson, in a recent post on his Telegram, state media reporter Alexander Sladkov presented Vladimir Surovikin as the father of another Surovikin in the Russian military — namely, “General Armageddon,” who took command of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine this fall. The pro-Kremlin media were quick to pick up this story, building on General Surovikin’s supposedly heroic lineage. Masicz suspects that state propagandists are exploiting his great-grandfather’s act of courage to add flair to Sergey Surovikin’s biography. As someone who openly opposes the war in Ukraine, Masicz doesn’t want his ancestor’s name to be tarnished by this newfound “connection.”

On November 18, pro-Kremlin reporter and self-styled “war correspondent” Alexander Sladkov wrote on Telegram that he had just spoken to his “senior friend,” Vasily Masyuk, “the legendary commander of the Moscow border guard detachment.” Masyuk, Sladkov wrote, had informed him that “General Surovikin’s father, it turns out, shot down three American planes.” He went on to explain that Sergey Surovikin was supposedly born to Vladimir Surovikin’s widow, five months after his father’s death, on October 11, 1966. This happens to be General Surovikin’s actual birth date, and his patronymic, “Vladimirovich,” does match his would-be father’s first name.

Masyuk also told Sladkov that Sergey Surovikin “visited his father’s grave�� in the village of Vozdvizhenka when he commanded Russia’s Eastern Military District from 2013 to 2017. After Sladkov shared this claim about Surovikin’s paternity, a number of pro-Kremlin media posted their own articles about the general’s storied ancestry. Meanwhile, General Surovikin himself has not commented.

Waldemar Masicz, Vladimir Surovikin’s great-grandson, was named after his ancestor, and he doesn’t welcome the attempt to tie his family to Russia’s “General Armageddon.” When speaking with Poligon.Media, Masicz made clear that his great-grandfather had no sons, and that Masicz’s grandmother was Vladimir Surovikin’s only daughter, born from his only marriage (to Tatiana Filippovna Surovikina). “She wasn’t Sergey Surovikin’s mother. And he wasn’t her son,” Masicz wrote on Facebook.

General Sergey Surovikin’s main claim to fame is his readiness to conduct indiscriminate strikes on civilian infrastructure. He took command of Russia’s forces in Ukraine on October 8, the day of the Crimean Bridge explosion. Since October 10, the Russian military has launched a series of massive strikes on Ukraine’s energy facilities, plunging Ukraine into a genuine humanitarian crisis. Masicz, who condemns the invasion, is far from delighted by the fabricated family connection to Sergey Surovikin.

Writing on Facebook, Masicz asked writers not to make his great-grandfather a participant in an operation that brings misery to “hundreds of thousands of people.” “His heroic act was about love for other people, and nothing else,” wrote Masicz, arguing that his ancestor’s biography should not be used to embellish someone else’s. “The problem is that we have no idea who Sergey Surovikin is,” he added. “Someone in the Far East seems to be confused. We hope this is a mistake.”

Incidentally, this isn’t the first attempt to link the two men. Even before Sladkov’s Telegram post, others described Sergey Surovikin as Vladimir Surovikin’s son. For example, the Wikipedia articles on the two Surovikins also state — without citations to credible evidence — that they are father and son.

In response to Masicz’s statements, Sladkov said only that he has “already presented his point of view.” “It’s wonderful when people try to discover something, and when they try to verify their knowledge. It’s good, it’s normal, and I welcome it,” he said, concluding: “Let the truth be our judge.”
