Serbian Government Minister Calls for Belgrade University Rector's Arrest (masto.bg)
 

Serbian Government Minister Calls for Belgrade University Rector's Arrest

Clearly unaware of the notion of academic freedom:
"Serbia's Public Investment Minister Darko Glisic on Friday called for the arrest of the Rector of the University of Belgrade, Vladan Djokic, over his support for the students who have been blocking more than 60 university faculties across Serbia in anti-corruption protests which began in November 2024."

Russian Kirienko "solved the Abkhazian crisis"

He supervised Gunba's campaign together with the head of the Russian Department for Monitoring and Analysis of Social Processes Alexander Kharichev, with deputy Boris Rapoport. "Two headquarters worked: one in Sukhum, the other in Sochi. Kharichev came regularly, Boris supervised directly on the spot"

Защо пацифизмът на Радев не включва демилитаризацията на Черно море? (masto.bg)
 

Защо пацифизмът на Радев не включва демилитаризацията на Черно море?

Другарят президент Радев, ако наистина беше такъв пацифист, щеше да повдигне въпроса за демилитаризиране на Черно море. Но не го прави, защото Русия още не е обезвредена достатъчно.

Are there bots on mastodon that act like humans in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

@PixelPilgrim there certainly are. One is going around various platforms on the fediverse under the name of fediversechick.

Russia's lost men (masto.bg)
 

Russia's lost men

"Over 95,000 people fighting for Russia's military have now died as the war in Ukraine enters the fourth year, according to data analysed by the BBC.

This figure doesn't include those who were killed serving in the militia of the self-proclaimed Donbas republics which we estimate to be between 21,000 and 23,500 fighters."

The curve also doesn't reflect the peak of Russian attacks reported by Ukraine. This data takes time to arrive.

Bulgarian hotels suffer consequences of own incompetence and greed

Can't even connect the dots:
"Nalbantov specifically noted that about 100,000 workers would be needed in Sunny Beach alone. However, when pressed about the number of accommodations in the area, he admitted uncertainty, mentioning that approximately 700,000 beds have already been filled. Still, the need for labor remains, and the industry continues to seek solutions."

Anne Applebaum on Călin Georgescu and the new obscurantism in c/blacksea@feddit.bg
[–] mapto@masto.bg 1 points 3 months ago

"...a mishmash of world religions whose Russian-born inventor, Helena Blavatsky, brought her Hindu-Buddhist-Christian-Neoplatonic creed to the United States. The same feverish, emotional atmosphere that produced these movements eventually propelled Rasputin, a peasant holy man who claimed that he had magical healing powers, into the imperial palace. After convincing Empress Alexandra that he could cure her son’s hemophilia, he eventually became a political adviser to the czar"

[–] mapto@masto.bg 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"Other civilizations have experienced moments like this one. As their empire began to decline in the 16th century, the Venetians began turning to magic and looking for fast ways to get rich. Mysticism and occultism spread rapidly in the dying days of the Russian empire. Peasant sects promoted exotic beliefs and practices, including anti-materialism, self-flagellation, and self-castration. Aristocrats in Moscow and St. Petersburg turned to theosophy."

@avidamoeba I was expecting CSU (the Bavarian sister party which is much more hard-line) to be the first ones, but CDU beat them to it

@petrescatraian who would've thought that gas doesn't arrive for free...

Actually, did you see that apparently Russia was sending the bills to the Moldovan state company, even though it was completely shut off from the flow.

Аналитик Анатолий Несмиян предрекает повторения 1917 года в Россию

Он сравнивает возможные сценарии с историей 1917 года, но с существенными различиями: "Февраль практически неизбежен, а вот с Октябрем есть сомнения: для него нет субъекта, способного повести за собой массы, как большевики в начале прошлого века".

The failed coup attempt immediately after the court decision to rerun the presidential elections, woke up Romanian institutions to what are the risks they are facing.

Here's another one for you. This one is considered "foreign agent" in Georgia. Certainly, in the country, probably also for #MAGA.
