![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) The Polish businessman Bartolomei Tarlovski came up with a brilliant idea: to send a "humanitarian convoy" to Russia (Kaliningradskaya oblast) of five trucks full with apples for Russian schools. He has asked permission to send the trucks in. If the Russians refuse, the apples will be given to Polish schoolchildren http://by24.org/2014/08/25/poland_sends_humanitarian_convoy_to_russia/

Wow. Disdain for intellectuals and the arts? Can you give an example? I didn't realise it was so bad. Although it does seem predictable with the criteria spelled out like that. Side note: I would estimate that the US is almost as bad as Russia for most of those criteria. Although their love of fame, brands, and endorsements (cult of personality), would appear to counteract any cultural dislike of intellectuals. Cult of personality: Well, maybe a kind of. Single-party system: Not even close to truth. Identification of enemies as a Unifiying Cause: Half-truth here, it's correct for ukraine too. Militarism: Not even close to truth, there were no "anti-terrorist operation" or illegal mobilization. By the way, our president and government officials don't pose in camouflage, as Poroshenko and Turchinov like to do. If you're speaking about Crimea then remember that Sevastopol was annexed by Ukraine in 1993 without any referendum. Controlled mass-media: Not even close to truth. The most of federal TV channels are private owned, except for 1st channel, 51% of which is owned by state. Despite ITAR-TASS news agency is 100% state-owned there are also some 100% private-owned new agencies such as Interfax. In the Ukraine almost all media outlets are owned directly by government officials. 100% of 5th channel is owned by Poroshenko, 100% of ATN and 1+1 TV channels are owned by Ihor Kolomoyski, etc. Obsession with National Security: Half-Truth here. Ukrainian Security Service see russian spy or GRU agent in any person, even in your cat. Disdain of Intellectualsnand Arts: WTF? Religion and government are interwened: Not even close to truth. For examples you need to know that Russian Orthodox Church doesn't recognize independence of South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Republic of Crimea. They consider them as parts of Georgia and Ukraine respectively. Fraudulent Elections: Not even funny to compare. So the final results are:Exact match: 1 (11.11%) Half-Truth: 2 (22.22%) Not even close to truth: 4 (44.44%) Unclassified: 2 You know what does it mean. @ Balthazar "Controlled mass-media: Not even close to truth.

In the Ukraine almost all media outlets are owned directly by government officials. 100% of 5th channel is owned by Poroshenko, 100% of ATN and 1+1 TV channels are owned by Ihor Kolomoyski, etc" Controlled Mass MediaThere is no freedom of the press in Russia ( http://www.freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-press/2013/russia ) . None, Not one report from inside the country can be trusted. Every country-wide channels is tightly controlled by the government. Of course, that includes Russia Today, which receives $300 million dollars from the Russian government every year. ( http://en.gazeta.ru/news/2012/10/29/a_4828917.shtml ) By far the biggest TV channel in Russia is the state controlled “Channel One,” famous for its news anchor Dmitry Kiselyov who, among other things, said that the Kremlin can turn the US into nuclear dust any time it likes ( http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/russian-tv-anchor-dmitry-kiselyov-kremlin-can-turn-us-into-radioactive-dust-1440660 ), and suggested the hearts of gays should be burned. ( http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/08/12/russia-tv-host-gay-rights_n_3744301.html ) Having listened to him, rather than being horrified, Putin was so impressed he personally appointed him the head of Russia Today. How about that? ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/09/putin-appoints-homophobic-presenter-kiselyov-head-news-agency-homosexuals ) On the other hand, and even though Yanukovych tried to control it before he was ousted. Ukraine, has a relatively free press. ( http://www.freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-press/2013/ukraine) So much so, for the last 10 years Russian journalists systematically fled to Ukraine because they were forbidden to do their job in Russia. ( http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/24/weekinreview/24levy.html?_r=0 ) Not just forbidden, unsafe. Journalists are killed and assaulted in Russia every year. 49 have been killed since Putin first came to hold power in 2001, all of them assassinated for political reasons. ( http://www.journalists-in-russia.org/ ) No journalists were killed in Ukraine between 2001 and 2014 ( http://cpj.org/killed/europe/ukraine/ ). Not until the Russian invasion. Since then, several journalists were killed by Russian militants in Donbass. ( http://www.hrw.org/news/2014/04/28/ukraine-end-politically-motivated-abuses ) Despite the iron fist on mainstream media, internet in Russia was relatively free. Until recently, that is, when Putin decided to annex Crimea. Since then opposition blogs have been routinely blacklisted ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/14/russia-bans-alexei-navalny-blog-opposition-news-websites ), online news outlets censored ( http://themoscownews.com/russia/20140314/192608827/Russian-radio-site-blocks-opposition-leader-Navalnys-blog-.html ), and the biggest and most successful independent online newspaper saw its entire staff laid off by the pro-Kremlin oligarch ( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/12/editor-russian-news-site-replaced-lenta ). Twitter too is being censored ( http://www.fastcompany.com/3033694/most-innovative-companies/twitter-censors-an-account-for-the-russian-government ), and Wikipedia ( http://rbth.com/news/2013/04/05/russian_media_regulator_confirms_wikipedia_blacklisted_24706.html ) Further, Putin blocked the sites of opponents, outlawed anonymous blogging, and ordered all bloggers to 'register' with the mass media regulator, i.e., the Kremlin censor. ( http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-28583669 ) Nothing like this exists in Ukraine.

7) Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Putin’s Russia has a rich history of persecution of artists and intellectuals under the guise of patriotism and morality. As many know, the Russian punk band Pussy Riot was famously jailed for two years for an impromptu performance inside a Christ the Saviour church. The Council of Laodicea, the 7th century Quinisext Council and other religious decrees have been used in court as the proof of their undeniable guilt. The exhibition Ostorojno Religiya! (i.e., Beware Religion!) was trashed by religious extremists. However,no charges or fees were imposed on the vandals -- instead, curators were fined a hefty 200,000 rubles for allowing the exhibition to happen! And both were later fired. Famous Russian gallery-owner and art patron Marat Guelman had to leave Russia because he was systematically forced to close his projects in Russia. Ukraine does not infringe on the freedom of artistic expression more > http://pc.blogspot.in/2014/08/putins-libertarians.html

It's a "русская весна (russian spring)" - When head cut off to Ukrainian soldier, it first in russian "mother", "mother" says, and only then starts to gurgle and wheeze.Казак, боец волчьей сотни с позывным «Буратино», как он представился, начал свой рассказ о тотализаторе, который был организован в их подразделении, и заключавшийся в отрезании голов пленным украинским солдатам. По результату победитель должен был получить BMW X6. «…У меня за две недели - одна голова отрезанная, вторая недопиленная, темно было. Когда укру голову отрезаешь, он сначала по-русски «мама», «мамочка» говорит, а уже потом начинает булькать и хрипеть. Заметьте, не «мамо», а по-русски - мамочка. http://znak.com/moscow/articles/25-08-19-49/102823

Putin's vision for #Ukraine and its people![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FBvziYXsCYAEHzfw.png&t=663&c=P5YlY7uPFii-yQ)

A good overview of where the Russian "humanitarian convoy" is stealing what. Actually, this explains why the Russians decided not to wait any longer: the areas where these weapon factories are are close to the battle zone and can fall into Ukrainian hands at any moment. So better be quick and steal before it is too late. And why then fill up the trucks with "humanitarian aid - in the mind of a thief the stolen goodies are the ultimate priority and people don't mean a thing. It's all window dressing.
Редактор луганской газеты «Молодогвардеец» Алексей Бида на своей странице в Фейсбуке суммировал всю информацию относительно вывоза промышленного оборудования с военных и стратегических заводов Донбасса. Хочется отметить, что разграблению подвергаются не только государственные военные заводы, но и завод концерна «Мотор Сич», которое является частным предприятием.
Краснодон: На заводе «Юность» стоят минимум шесть машин гуманитарки. Постоянные звуки и лязги железа. Грузят оборудование. Перед закрытием завода там поставили японское оборудование. Выпускали реле и микросхемы для ракет и подводных лодок. Долгое время стоял закрытым.
ОАО «Юность», специализирующееся сегодня преимущественно на производстве различного вида реле, предприятие-монополист СНГ по производству специализированной продукции для ракетостроительной и аэрокосмической промышленности».
Производство высокостабильных, особоточных микроминиатюрных герметических реле весом от 2,0 граммов РЭС 79, РЭС 80, РПС 42, РПС 43 РЭК 21 – для спецтехники авиационной, аэрокосмической, ракетостроительной промышленности; автомобильных реле для электрооборудования легкового, грузового, пассажирского автотранспорта, сельскохозяйственной техники. Луганск: Демонтируют патронный завод.
Снежное: находится один из заводов «Мотор Сич», который делает «лопатки и диски для турбин реактивных и турбореактивных двигателей самолетов и вертолетов». Это единственный завод в СНГ, которые делает лопатки для турбин.
Донецк: делают «Комплекс «Лиман» (предназначен для радиоподавления линий управления авиацией в диапазонах частот 100-400 МГц и 960-1215 МГц.»). Завод «Топаз» делают известные всему миру «Кольчуги».
