The Central District Military Court in Yekaterinburg has handed down a verdict to members of a Marxist group from Ufa. This was reported by an EAN correspondent from the courtroom.
The defendants in the case are Bashkir Communist Party deputy Dmitry Chuvilin* and his comrades: otolaryngologist Alexei Dmitriev*, pensioner Yuri Efimov*, and two volunteers who fought in Donbass in 2014-2015, fighters of the “Prizrak” battalion Pavel Matisov* and Rinat Burkeev*. Before his arrest, Matisov* was the chairman of the Ufa branch of the “Union of Donbass Volunteers.” The members of the group are accused of preparing for the violent seizure or retention of power (Article 278 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), creating a terrorist community (Article 205.4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), and preparing to steal weapons (Article 226 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). In the end, the judge announced the verdict:

o Dmitry Chuvilin* — 20 years imprisonment;
o Alexey Dmitriev* — 20 years imprisonment;
o Yuri Efimov* — 18 years imprisonment;
o Pavel Matisov* — 22 years imprisonment;
o Rinat Burkeev* — 16 years imprisonment.

At the same time, an investigation is underway into the case of Left Front leader Sergei Udaltsov***. He was arrested on January 12, 2024, after publishing several posts on his Telegram channel in defense of the Ufa Marxists, which the investigation considers to be justification for terrorism.

under the neoliberal explanation, it should help both countries and the migrants themselves. britain gets cheap labour, poland gets money sent back from workers who're earning more than they would domestically - a positive sum game, all parties benefit. under the explanation that it's all imperialism, you're just brain-draining poland - a zero-sum game. since poland has prospered, it's not too hard to play devil's advocate for the neoliberal worldview. i don't care too much for "dogma" either way because it's just marketing. "immigration is good for britain" is an easier sell and a smaller target than "immigration is on balance the least worst option for everyone but boy does the world like to force bleak choices on us"

what i'm working towards in a devil's advocate sort of way is that while neoliberalism wasn't good, we're in something else now and it's much worse. an underclass of poor (but legal and legally equal to citizens) internationally mobile migrants isn't FALC, sure, but it's a defensible social structure against other possible models - for example: an underclass of poor (but illegal) migrants, an underclass of poor (but permanently second-class) migrants, or the final success of autarky giving us an underclass of poor british people and a bunch of people in the third world dying as their countries pass wet bulb temperature.
i am, for the most part, taking it from the point of view of the migrant's interests. (although an undercurrent is that britain's recent stupidity is also part of why it is poorer.)

i don't think "liberal" is a helpful category in british politics without further definition. you've got polanski, sure, but who else? what you're dealing with is a very different beast depending on whether your "liberals" are polanski only, polanski+sultana+corbyn, polanski+davey, or polanski+starmer. (and, in a more historical sense, whether blair, for example, is 'liberal')
to the more general point: everyone in a position of power sees everyone beneath them as (less than) pets that they own in class-stratified britain.

see why nobody believes whatever crap comes from the UA flags-stans? it's because they double down even caught lying: "ummmm akshually, it's AI, but it was like that akshually, sweetie".
they can shoot the re-capture of Donetsk city, live, with hundreds of cameras. nobody would believe it.

Girls and women fleeing Mali describe sexual violence by Russian forces

The girl lay in a makeshift health clinic, her eyes glazed over and her mouth open, flies resting on her lips. Her chest barely moved. Drops of fevered sweat trickled down her forehead as medical workers hurried around her, attaching an IV drip.

It was the last moment to save her life, said Bethsabee Djoman Elidje, the women’s health manager, who led the clinic’s effort as the heart monitor beeped rapidly. The girl had an infection after a sexual assault, Elidje said, and had been in shock, untreated, for days.

Her family said the 14-year-old had been raped by Russian fighters who burst into their tent in Mali two weeks earlier. The Russians were members of Africa Corps, a new military unit under Russia’s defense ministry that replaced the Wagner mercenary group six months ago.

The AP learned of the alleged rape and four other alleged cases of sexual violence blamed on Africa Corps fighters, commonly described by Malians as the “white men,” while interviewing dozens of refugees at the border about other abuses such as beheadings and abductions.

Other combatants in Mali have been blamed for sexual assaults. The head of a women’s health clinic in the Mopti area told the AP it had treated 28 women in the last six months who said they had been assaulted by militants with the al-Qaida affiliated JNIM, the most powerful armed group in Mali.

>Speechless after an assault


The aunt of the 14-year-old girl said the Africa Corps fighters marched everyone outside at gunpoint. The family couldn’t understand what they wanted. The men made them watch as they tied up the girl’s uncle and cut off his head.

On the one hand it's not like mercenaries are above rape, but on the other this story coming from AP makes me deeply skeptical.

What is adventurism and what isn't?

I feel like MLs like throwing this word around a lot but never give clear defintions.
Why do statists think it's okay for the state to commit mass violence daily, but when a indiviual commits violence against that apparatus somehow they are "adventurist" or in the wrong, like do you seriously expect the ruling class to just give up?

Even if the attacks further oppresion temporarily wouldn't that still make the social conditions for revolutions to increase? Even if it takes decades as it did in Russia.

Also as far as the rational-strategic side Hamas could've concluded that Israel was divided (it was politically quite divided) and that their own side was united (this is the part that doesn't strike me as adventuristic), and would further unite on a broader scale if they carried out a successful military operation, which gave them a real shot at threatening to bring the house down on Israel. There were flaws in this strategy though.

>>2599325
Arguably no, since it had an actual plan that it accomplished which was to force US involvement in the middle east to eventually destabilize those countries which, according to if you believe in was a false-flag or not, was to either weaken the US geopolitically (Al-Qaeda perspective) or create friendly client states in the region that would act in the US and Israels interests (False-flag perspective).


>>2599486
I've read a little bit of Bin Laden and the theory of sucking in the U.S. seemed like a retroactive justification after the U.S. invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. There's no evidence (that I've seen?) that suggests he had that plan before 9/11. Before then the strategy seemed more that the U.S. was a decadent paper tiger, and he said as much in the 1990s iirc. The U.S. turned tail in Somalia in 1993 and also withdrew troops from Lebanon in the 80s after proto-Hezbollah drove a truck bomb into a Marine barracks.

People tend to make the mistake of thinking the outcomes of wars are the result of the original intentions when often that is not the case. Rather people can frequently go into them with a mindset shaped by historical analogies and prior examples and then the new chaotic events blow their assumptions up so they revise their strategy and try to smooth over the contradictions by making up some story.

niga what?

China has received a batch of Russian-provided evidence related to the infamous Unit 731, a Japanese germ-warfare unit that operated during World War II, China's Central Archives said on Saturday.

The archive copies from Russia include trial records of Unit 731 members, investigation reports on the unit's crimes, and internal official correspondence of Soviet authorities, covering the period running from May 11, 1939 to December 25, 1950.

During World War II, the Japanese invading forces established a biological warfare network across multiple Asian countries, with Unit 731 located in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, serving as a top-secret base for biological weapons and human experiments.

At least 3,000 people from China, the Soviet Union and other countries and regions were used in human experiments conducted by Unit 731.

According to China's Central Archives, the archives provided by Russia reveal the Soviet investigation process during the early stage of the Khabarovsk War Crimes Trials in 1949, identifying more than 200 individuals linked to the crimes of Unit 731, and ultimately singling out 12 war criminals for public trials.

These individuals confessed to violating international conventions and to preparing and carrying out biological warfare.

Experts believe that these archives provide concrete historical evidence of Japan's biological warfare crimes in China, further confirming that Japan's biological warfare was a top-down, state-organized war crime and offering irrefutable proof for restoring historical truth.

dude you sound like a weirdo crypto fash entryist. I got over my cringe around the libs using naarm when I heard it blackfellas saying it at an invasion day event. if winning treats for racist hicks lead to reform then australia would have become a superpower socialist republic sometime between the 1930s and 1980s when the union movement was politically relevant.

>up until the 70s aboriginals weren't allowed citizenship
i think that was debunked, the suffaregettes were whinging that aborigianls got to vote but women couldnt or someshit back in like 1910, i can't be bothered to look, i'm hoping you'll do it for me.

>>2599574
nvm that was probably the state goverment before unification or something

>>2599574
technically there was special case citizenship that came into law in 1944 but to get it you had to officially renounce your culture. true sufferage came in 67.

>>2599574
it's messy

tldr

>Eureka Stockade happens

>le solidarity forever
>btw rights for all men means the natives too
>most colonies enact civil liberties and laws about voting and land rights
>oh yeh the natives are subjects of the queen so yeah they can vote too
>federation happens
>we changed our minds fuck you
>doesn't get undone until the 60s

big mess, lots of differences on a case-by-case, state-by-state basis but that's the long and short of it
