Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why the fuck are we celebrating this fascist?
Should I feel bad for Wagner because they opposed Putin?
The fuck makes you think i'm supporting russia?
I hope you're dead.
Nah, sorry man. You must be severely mentally challenged to respond to a months old comment that no longer exists. Hope you get well soon fascist.
Him being the opposition was apparently good enough. Never mind that he was a Russian nationalist that definitely supports the annexation of Ukraine and the ethnic cleansing of Caucasians. A real meat old boss, same as old boss situation.
Under what rock did you live for last 10 years? This doesn't look like support.
"The oppositionist added that if Crimea is annexed, the Russian economy will weaken, and this, in turn, may lead to the desire of some subjects of the Federation to secede from the country. " - your source Ah yes, what a sweetheart. He doesn't think it is good to annex Crimea. Yet he wants to continue using the Black Sea and I assume the military bases in Crimea and use it to keep Ukraine out of NATO. So same goal as Putin, just thinks annexing was a mistake strategically not morally.
Well, that was the situation after the dissolution of USSR. Makes sense preserving it.
Where did you get that?
In Russian-speaking Web the only relatively recent quote by him people accusing him can find is "Crimea is not a sandwich to be given or taken". Especially Ukrainians clutch to that to the end.
Well, see, Crimea is really not a sandwich, it's a piece of land inhabited by people, and yes, a real referendum is more important than Ukrainian laws.
I was disgusted by that "referendum" because it was fake, while many Ukrainians on the Web because they are against referendums they don't like. Well, too bad.
Finally a sane take. The enemy of your enemy is not your friend. I hate how western media is whitewashing the likes of Kissinger and Navalny.
If I may quote https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/2/16/obit-navalny-putins-archenemy-and-anti-corruption-champion
https://www.rightsinrussia.org/aleksandr-verkhovsky/ doesn't seem like a pro-fascist (although I wouldn't be surprised if somebody made such a story up, now that he has defended Navalny), so I'm supposing his opinion in this is good enough. Calling Navalny a fascist at this point seems like a tankie talking point specifically designed to denounce the message he was putting out in his last years.
"We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions." -- Aristotle
So your argument is that he was fascist but not anymore?
Call me a cynic, but that just screams "I am in Russian prison, my hopes for a Russian uprising uprising didn't happen and my only hope is appeasing the west". No world leaders have made such drastic changes in ideology over merely a decade.
I guess that's possible, but also possible that your own country poisoning you and then imprisoning you can do wonders for your nationalistic tendencies.
I love how everyone is dogpilling without giving any arguments.
Explain your point
Go ahead and gaslight me that he is actually progressive.
Fuck your mom amerikkkan cunt.
I'm not american imbecile
I must have dreamt up the neo-nazi, 2006 Russian march and the far-right, National Russian Liberation Movement.
No, you haven't. Nobody cares what was in 2006.
