Don't make false cries dear. In Gaza in 2 months died 10 times more kids, than in Ukraine in 2 years.

Let's talk about dual morale. Russia occupies Ukraine - that is bad. Israel occupies Gaza already many years - that is good.

I think, Zelenskiy counts that number not enough big: tonight Mariupol has been attacked by British missiles Storm Shadow.

Well, today Finland opened border crossing points after less than month of propagandistic political hysteria. Suddenly they found what they can't live with closed border. Traffic from Finland to Russia is 2.5 times higher than traffic from Russia to Finland. Clowns.

Why you didn't write 1,000,000,000? Let's face. As per report of UN HR commissioner there were killed in total 9,511 persons in Ukraine within civilians in 19 months on territory 600,000 sq km https://www.ohchr.org/en/news/2023/08/ukraine-civilian-casualty-update-28-august-2023

I know, it is in national culture to answer on question with another question, but what you will do with fact what in you list are 13 persons who you think were murdered in Russia by political reason. And we discuss now 13 persons in 23 years and compare with 68 persons killed in 2 months. And let me use the same propagandistic method like you use - bold, underline and size 72% of journalists killed worldwide have been killed in the Gaza conflict

Long-long manipulations, But I have one question after your long post: who murdered 68 journalists? "Butchers and sadists" or holy Israeli soldiers who do not want to leave witnesses alive?? Israel dropped more bombs on Gaza in 6 days than the US-led coalition dropped in any month fighting ISIS https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-palestine-confilct-bombing-gaza-strip-hamas-united-states-isis-2023-10 There are rumors, what Israel already dropped more bombs on Gaza in 2 months than Russia dropped on Ukraine in 2 years.

It is Russian restaurant with caricature on famous in Russia Armenian film actors on the picture :))))) Name "Tatos" is Armenian name. As per reviews on Tripadvisor, it is excellent promoted as "Russian restaurant" in Harbin, but Russian visitors leave reviews like "nice interior" and "meals have Russian names, but are very far from to be real classical Russian meals". Russians love Armenian cuisine. Therefore, we can assume that it was originally an Armenian restaurant serving local Russians, and then it became simply a “Russian restaurant”.

Just because there are no fans of politic. Only few political threads were created by CDNMatt there, he is gone. I created zero political threads there. And here it’s interesting to poke an anthill with a stick. Everyone starts fussing and getting angry. It’s especially funny to watch supporters of democratic views: when they don’t have any arguments against my statements, they begin to betray their own beliefs and get personal, or even offer to ban me. Ban is so democratic, right? Victory for freedom of speech.

Immediately after you learn to read Russian and discover that Western propaganda does not always tell you the truth

Dear, without signatures (and Siamroads advertising) in posts as it was at past, attention has no sense. I just love it when some users suddenly discover that the Western point of view is not the only one in this world, and react nervously to this discovery.

So, you insist they are victims of Hamas?

You are correct - deaths of 68 journalists in Gaza is sad fact. This year, 72% of journalists killed worldwide have been killed in the Gaza conflict

It is hard because you manipulatively compare results of 2 years with results of 2 months. By the way, I think Israel killed "only" 47 just because weak Palestinian Olympic team hasn't more athletes

So, in total 20 in 2 years in Ukraine compare to 68 in 2 months in Gaza, correct?

Do you mean "derail"?

The war in Gaza has been more deadly for journalists than any single conflict since the IFJ began recording journalists killed in the line of duty in 1990. The IFJ has recorded 68 journalists killed since the Hamas attack on 7 October. “This year, 72% of journalists killed worldwide have been killed in the Gaza conflict,” the Federation records. Sixty-one Palestinian journalists were killed in the Gaza strip. Four Israeli journalists were killed in the first hours of the Hamas attack on 7 October: two during the Supernova music festival and two were murdered in the kibbutzes of Nahal Oz and Kfar Aza. Three Lebanese journalists were killed on 13 October and 21 November in Israeli shootings while filming a report on the border between the two countries. Elsewhere in the Middle East, the IFJ counts 3 media workers killed in Syria. In Europe, Ukraine remains a dangerous country for journalists. This year 3 journalists and media workers - Ukrainian (1), Russian (1) and French (1) - have been killed in the Ukrainian war. https://www.ifj.org/media-centre/news/detail/category/press-releases/article/ninety-four-journalists-killed-in-2023-says-ifj

Dear, are you sure this thread is about Russia?

The Palestinian Olympic Committee reported that since the start of the war between the Israeli army and the Palestinian Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, 47 athletes and 17 representatives of the administrative and technical staff of sports organizations have been killed. At least five sports figures have been arrested, the committee notes, and many have been injured. In addition, since the start of attacks on the enclave, the UN Development Program stadium and the Beit Hanoun stadium have come under fire. The stadium, located next to one of the hospitals, “was turned into a mass grave,” the committee added. The committee says several other sports facilities, including three equestrian clubs, a baseball field and several martial arts centers, were bombed. As WAFA notes, many Palestinians have used sports facilities in the Gaza Strip as refuge. https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/139941

Who are these people? Internal business pressures turned deadly That leaves a third theory, one that both Taylor and Rutland indicate is far more likely than either a Kremlin-directed campaign of assassinations or a spate of genuine accidents and suicides. Specifically, the recent run of deaths among Russia’s business elite could well be disguised killings — but the killings may be a product of Russia’s tangled political and economic structures, which are newly under pressure from Russia’s war in Ukraine, more than of any specific, overarching agenda. According to Taylor, the deaths could have more to do with “shady business, attempt to cover tracks, attempt to wipe out a competitor, trying to maybe get rid of someone who’s inconvenient at a time when there’s a lot of pressure on state-affiliated companies, especially in the oil and gas sector, but also in the defense sector.” Markus agrees, noting in an email that “there are competing influential clans” within the Russian state “that span state institutions and private or state-owned firms.” “So far these clans have been loyal to Putin, but this loyalty has not reduced their predatory appetites,” Markus told me. “From the clans’ viewpoint, the current situation has led to (1) lower cash flows available for diversion or theft; and (2) less certainty in Putin’s future as the ultimate leader of Russian kleptocracy. Hence, clans may be settling their scores and competing more viciously — which could involve murders in question — without this being a centralized Kremlin effort.” That explanation also makes more sense than the Kremlin-directed conspiracy theory, given the cross section of Russia’s business class that’s turned up dead. Though there are some common linkages — ties to energy companies, for example — some experts, such as Mark Galeotti, the author of the upcoming book Putin’s Wars: From Chechnya to Ukraine, have pointed out that coverage of the deaths can paint with an overly broad brush. “When did the death of the former rector of a technical university become the (implied: mysterious) end of a ‘Putin ally’? (Everyone dying in [Russia] now is elevated to oligarch or ally),” Galeotti tweeted after the death of Geraschenko in September. Significantly, both Taylor and Rutland emphasize that there’s still a great deal of uncertainty around the deaths. However, under the third and, according to them, more likely theory, continued pressure on Russia’s economy could well accelerate the trend. Violence as a way of doing business has been “deeply normalized going back to the 1990s,” Rutland said. “And so as the regime enters what could be its death throes, or certainly it’s under huge pressure, you can imagine that there’s gonna be this — well, it’s not yet a bloodbath, but you can imagine that the faction fighting will get even more desperate.” There are no satisfying answers to be had, at least for now. Recent history supports the idea that such deaths are something Putin would be fully capable of, but he lacks a clear motive that connects them all; as some close Russia watchers have observed, Russia’s cutthroat business culture is at least equally likely to be culpable as a repressive Kremlin. In both cases, there’s a distinct dearth of evidence — but the speculation only underscores the overlapping brutality of Russian business and Putin’s regime. https://www.vox.com/world/2022/10/14/23388516/russian-businessmen-oligarchs-putin-mysterious-deaths-windows

He is not "oligarch", since he isn't owner of Lukoil. He is just top-manager. The only oligarch who died on territory of Russia at past 3 years is Prigozhin, but he didn't fall from window. Rest people in this long list are managers or minor businessman like Melnikov (his medical company had yearly profit less than $1 mln), or died outside of Russia. The most propagandistic row in this "Long List of Bullshit" is row with Rapoport name, who died in USA to where he emigrated in 1980 at age of 12 yo. No one US agency accused Russia in his death. But I think somebody should check his 2 Ukrainian wife who got all Rapoport's money after his death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Rapoport By the way, speaking about gay rights and police raids. Newest police raids to gay bars have been in USA just in 2020, 50 years after Stonewall riot...

It was reply on urban legends about falling oligarchs. If you want to talk about invasions, then US again has much longer list to discuss. Just deaths of civilians at time of US invasion to Iraq will cover Ukrainian loss of civilians at least 50 times. Israel in 2 weeks also killed more civilians in Gaza, than Russia in Ukraine in 2 years.

Sure. I many times told: there is lack of the freedom of the speech in Russia. It is just "bla-bla-bla" from the point of accusations of "oligarch rain"... no one of them was oligarch, and no one "oligarch" fell from window in Russia, so as I told - it is just propaganda and urban legends... and if we will talk about murdering of "enemies of regime", then Russia does the same as many other countries does. Israel's Mossad killed 7 Iranan scientists at past 10 years. US kill's by drones in different countries also. At least Russia kills own citizens who became traitor.

Could you please name even one "oligarch" who fell from windows in Russia in 2000-2023? Do you know difference btw you and me? You trust to propaganda, I trust to own eyes.

I clearly stated "at night". They can't have clients at nights: Siamroads offers only "day" and "evening" tours.
