Top Russian Generals Arrested, Investigated for 'Abuse of Power'

"Lieutenant-General Sergei Umnov, the assistant to the head of Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs, was detained alongside Major General Alexei Semyonov, head of St. Petersburg's traffic police, and Major General Ivan Abakumov, as the country's invasion of Ukraine rages on.

Between 2016 and 2020, the three top Russian generals allegedly misappropriated funds from the Program Assistance Fund for the St. Petersburg and Leningrad region's Main Department of Internal Affairs, and purchased property "for personal use," Russian newspaper Kommersant reported.

According to the state-run paper, at the request of the generals, money from the fund was spent on the purchase of real estate and cars, as well as the maintenance of freelance assistants."

If not posted earlier, disturbing interview the Ukrainian ambassador gave to the German press, praising a NAZI murderer.

Ukraine’s Ambassador to Germany touts Nazi war criminal as a hero

snippet:

....Both Ukraine and the USSR behaved horribly during WWII, including allying with the Nazis. Ukraine was especially gleeful as it joined the Nazis in slaughtering Jews within its territory. It did so with such vigor that even the Nazis were shocked.

Nor does it matter to me that the current President of Ukraine is nominally Jewish. So were the Kapos in the concentration camps and George Soros. The worst antisemites in the world have been Jews (see, e.g., Karl Marx, whose father had him convert as a small boy, and who went on to bake antisemitism into the socialist cake).

That’s why I wasn’t at all surprised to read David P. Goldman’s article about Andrej Melnyk, who insisted during an interview with Germany’s Die Welt that Bandera was nothing more than a freedom fighter:

Image: Andrej Melnyk. YouTube screen grab.

Germany’s leading center-right newspaper Die Welt posted a banner headline at the top of its page last Friday evening just before Shabbat came in here in New York: “[Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andrej] Melnyk’s statement trivializes the Holocaust.” In a radio interview last week, Melnyk compared Ukrainian Nazi leader Stephan Bandera to Robin Hood and vehemently denied—in the face of massive historical documentation—that Bandera had helped to murder 800,000 Ukrainian Jews during World War II. The Banderites also helped to murder between 40,000 and 100,000 Poles.

Melnyk said, “Not just for me, but for many, many Ukrainians, he personifies the freedom fighter… and of course a freedom fighter… There are now written laws for those who fight for freedom. Robin Hood is also respected by everyone, and he also did not work according to the law current at the time.”

The astonished German interviewer said, “And you admit that he and his men were involved in the murder of 800,000 Jews?”

“No, he was not involved,” said Melnyk

The interviewer protested, “But it was his army. That’s what his men did. There is no doubt about that.”

Melnyk retorted, “You say, ‘No doubt,’ but there is no evidence. He was not convicted.”

“There is no evidence that he killed Jews with his own hands, but his men did!” the interviewer insisted. “He ordered the murder of 100,000 civilians.”

“He did not give the order to exterminate Jews,” Melnyk continued.

The interviewer quoted leaflets distributed by Bandera to Ukrainians as the Germans marched in 1941: “People! You must know this. Muscovites (Russians), Poles, Ukrainians, Hungarians and Jews are your enemies. Destroy them! You must know this. Your Führer Stepan Bandera.”


Later, writes Goldman, the Ukrainian foreign ministry refused to repudiate Melnyk’s statements, merely saying that they represented his “personal opinion.”

The worst thing about all of this, adds Goldman, is how assiduously the Biden administration and the American media are ignoring this grotesque Holocaust denial. Even American Jewish organizations are refusing to address the subject.

Here’s the bottom line: Ukraine is the “good guy” right now and nobody dares reveal that it has, not just feet of clay, but most of its lower torso made of clay. Russia is not our friend but neither is Ukraine. Despite their Western gloss, their values are very different from ours and we blindly alienate one and fawn over the other at our peril.

You of course as hardcore Kremlin's supporter will have 0 intent to know why population of Jews in Ukraine had reduced 1914-1921
and ESPECIALLY cos .....
Joseph Stalin era 1925-1953....
Yeah, he wasn't against jews.
He was about idea: what social class you have and your parents had, had you been aboard and do you know multiple languages etc...etc.
Therefore Jews cos this all had to suffer a lot in USSR 1925-1953....
Longer than cos idiot Hitler had existed in this world....

I see that you are able to read russian cool propaganda for russians in Russia.
While our westerners here aren't ready even to see reality: Russia really does have aim to submit ALL world.

Today they expressed shit that borders agreements with Norway aren't cool for them.

Stuff like this goes on for years in a Russian media/society. Like that - politician of post-Soviet country says not nice things about communism/USSR, reaction on Russian TV - cool, how about returning land that your country got after WWII to Russia/Germany/Austria/Romania/Poland or USSR spend billions of RSFSR tax payers money on your republic and got back only millions of criminals and tons of opiates and then ethnic cleansing in 1990 so would be nice to get our money back.
Or stuff like Lithuanians under Soviet occupation had much better birthrates than democratic Lithuania in last 30 years.

Perhaps the post-soviet Russian leaders should understand that the way the propaganda worked in the USSR (and more recently in Russia) doesn't really apply to the rest of the modern Eastern Europe, apart from maybe Belarus and that the 'patriotic' or 'historic' outbursts from the MP's of Duma only work on people even less intelligent than the drooling morons spewing the nonsense..
Russian troll factories are only convincing if you're not well-seasoned in the meme game, which I can honestly say that I am.

I don’t think this bullshit is aimed at anyone aside from Russians and pro-Soviet/Russian people in some countries. Like, if I am not mistaken Zhirinovskiy was blacklisted by Azerbaijan after him trash talking or Kazakhstan demanding apology from Molotov’s grandson after him saying that Slavs/Russians build everything in Kazakhstan (or something like that). So this shit from Russia just makes everyone think that Russia are ruled by a bunch of degenerates with huge ego and God complex.
