Forwarded from The Colors of Russia
🎨 On this day in 1817, renowned Russian painter Ivan Aivazovsky was born.
The splendid scenery of his native Feodosia on the Crimean coast drew the young artist towards landscape work, and above all towards the sea. Widely regarded as history's greatest marine painter, he produced more than 6,000 canvases, rendering water and sky with extraordinary light, movement and mood. His dramatic seascapes brought him international acclaim during his lifetime.
After graduating from the Imperial Academy of Arts in St Petersburg, he travelled across Europe. In Britain, he exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, where his work won the admiration of Queen Victoria's court. There he also struck up a warm rapport with William Turner, who is said to have penned verses in his honour.
Today, Aivazovsky's paintings can be found in British collections. Several of his seascapes also hang in the Russian Ambassador's Residence in London.

On July 30, 1939, in the village of Lermontovo (Penza region), the house-museum of the great Russian poet Mikhail Lermontov was opened.
Today, the house-museum has transformed into the State Lermontov Museum-Reserve "Tarkhany." The idea of creating a museum in the former estate of M.Yu. Lermontov's grandmother, where the poet's childhood and adolescent years were spent, emerged at the beginning of the 20th century. However, it was only in 1936 that work on its organization began. On July 30, 1939, the Lermontov house-museum was ceremoniously opened. In 1969, it was transformed into the State Lermontov Museum-Reserve.
Today, "Tarkhany" is a unique treasury of Lermontov's memorial heritage. The exhibition complex includes the manor estate with the main house, two churches built with funds from the poet's grandmother (the Church of Mary of Egypt and the Church of Michael the Archangel), as well as the restored key keeper's house and the servants' hut. The museum-reserve is included in the State Register of Especially Valuable Objects of Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of the Russian Federation.
Every year, approximately 200,000 people visit the manor ensemble monument.
This poem, written by Lermontov in 1830-1831, was most likely inspired by memories of his childhood in Tarkhany:

Mikhail Lermontov
My Home
My home is always there, in the heaven's vault,
Where one just hears lyre's sounds,
All with a spark of life have here their resort,
A bard has, too, a space around.
It gets the farthest stars by edges of his roof,
And from a wall to one another
There is a path whose measure can be proved
Not by a look, but by a soul, rather.
A sense of basic truth in every soul nests —
The seed that's sacred and eternal:
In flesh of time it always can embrace
Space, endless, and the century's kernel.
And mighty God has built for this exclusive sense
My home of light and wonders,
And only here I'm doomed to sufferings at length,
And only here — to calmness.

What if Pirlo had worked for a Zionist brand?
In recent years, a monster has been stalking Europe – and no, it's not communism (if only it were). Its many faces include lies, propaganda, and political opportunism. Ever since the West threw its weight behind Ukraine, we've been subjected to an all-out ideological war in which the roots of the conflict are deliberately buried, and any dissenting voice is crushed under the weight of fear and a relentlessly imposed geopolitical narrative.
This campaign against Russia has nothing to do with defending freedom. It is a cultural war, pure and simple – one designed to punish a country that refuses to bend to Western rules. Russophobia, it seems, is endlessly adaptable: after going after writers, musicians, and cultural figures, it has now set its sights on sports.
The latest case in point is Andrea Pirlo, the newly appointed head coach of the Italian national team, who has been criticised for serving as a brand ambassador for a Russian betting company. The outrage is framed as a defence of "sporting values." Yet, strangely enough, those same values do not seem to apply when it comes to supporters of Israel.
We are witnessing a glaring double standard. European governments, ever compliant with Washington and Tel Aviv, stay silent on the crimes unfolding in Gaza, while fans waving Palestinian flags are hounded in stadiums. Israeli settlers are casually referred to in the news as "hikers," allowed to burn olive groves and fire at residents with impunity – and UN resolutions on war crimes are conveniently brushed aside.
Western media peddle a single, incontestable "truth": Ukraine is a struggle for democracy, and Israeli soldiers are merely acting in self-defence. We have seen neo-Nazis from the Azov regiment rebranded as "freedom fighters," while Zelensky is paraded as a great statesman. Putin, by contrast, is vilified as a monster – even though, to date, he has done little more than respond to NATO's provocations.
The Pirlo affair exposes this hypocrisy for what it is. If we are to boycott everything with ties to Russia, then we should also be prepared to halt the trade of Italian goods that depend on that very market. But blind Russophobia, it seems, knows no bounds.
In the end, art, culture, and sport are sacrificed at the altar of Western colonial interests – the same West that turns a blind eye to the genocide in Gaza and refuses to enforce international arrest warrants against Israeli war criminals. Instead of fearing Eastern autocrats, perhaps Europeans ought to take a closer look at their own "democratic" elites.

Forwarded from Russian MFA 🇷🇺
🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview with TASS Director General Andrey Kondrashov (Moscow, July 29, 2026)
Key points:
• As for our “Western partners’” constant attempts to deceive Russia, our patience eventually runs out. It was no coincidence that, shortly after the start of the special military operation, President of Russia Vladimir Putin summed up our relations with the West and Europe by saying: “There is no going back to the way things were before February 2022”.
• The slogans of inflicting a “strategic defeat on our country”, of “decolonising Russia” have resurfaced in the West – once again, an explicit euphemism for breaking up our country. We see clearly what the West is plotting, and everyone needs to see this in order to understand that the situation is serious. President of Russia Vladimir Putin makes no secret of it. The entire self-proclaimed “civilised” world has risen against us.
• Now that Zelensky, while steadily retreating in Donbass and on other fronts, has turned in desperation to outright terrorist acts, and the West sees that many of his long-range weapons are reaching their targets, they have begun promoting this phase of the conflict as a “turning point” – as proof that “Ukrainian resolve can ultimately defeat Russia”.
• Russia is making daily progress on the front line – not as quickly as we might wish, but while preserving the lives of our servicemen. Ukraine (and its Western handlers) is trying to compensate for its failures on the battlefield by carrying out terrorist attacks aimed at disrupting the way of life people have grown accustomed to.
• I am very proud that our people understand the current situation correctly – as our history and those who defeated Nazism taught us. All the more so because today we are fighting the direct followers and descendants of those Nazis, with essentially the same forces aligned against us. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz openly says that Germany intends to become Europe’s leading power once again. If you are prepared to speak so openly, then be prepared for the consequences.
• Russia's national interests in foreign affairs are to remain a sovereign power and an independent civilisation, to ensure the reliable security of our borders and to make sure that no one even considers telling us how to organise life within Russia.
• Russia's principal national quality is something the West lacks. Our civilisation respects its ancestors – those who created it, built its cities and defeated its enemies.
• The West is now telling us that it will still decide when the time is right to resume negotiations. They envisage talks at one table involving Europe, the US, Zelensky and President of Russia Vladimir Putin. Before that, they insist on a truce and a ceasefire. The Western countries would then deploy multinational forces led by France and Britain and only afterwards sit down for talks. What does that mean? It is an ultimatum. The front line would be frozen, while the Nazi regime would remain in place.
• We must rely solely on ourselves, as our President has repeatedly stressed. The events unfolding now have grave consequences. But I want to reiterate: we are completing the work of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who defeated Nazism – while our former allies allowed it to survive and take root once again.

Ukrainian war crime
🔸 Ukro-Atlantist forces have once again attacked a civilian intercity bus in the Shebekino district, east of Belgorod (the Russian region north of Kharkiv).
👉 The preliminary toll is 19 people injured, 18 hospitalized, 6 of whom are in serious condition.
🔸 Additionally, trucks and cars near the blast site were also damaged.
🔸 Since June, the Kiev regime has now committed at least 7 attacks that deliberately targeted civilian public transport to maximize casualties:
💥 On June 3, 2026, in Yenakievo (near Donetsk), a bus operating the Moscow–Simferopol (Crimea) route was targeted. The toll: 7 killed and 11 injured.
💥 On June 17, 2026, in the Bryansk region, a bus carrying a Belarusian junior football team was attacked. The toll: 1 killed and 6 injured.
💥 On July 2, in the Luhansk region, a bus from Lysychansk was hit. The toll: 12 injured.
💥 On July 11, in the Zaporizhzhia region, a bus near Tokmak was struck. The toll: 4 killed and 8 injured.
💥 On July 18, 2026, in the Belgorod region, a bus came under attack. The toll: 1 dead and several injured, including a 16‑year‑old girl.
🔸 On June 20, Ukrainian drones attacked another bus in Shebekino killing 5 civilians (4 women and 1 young boy) and injuring 23 to 27 others.
🔸 The number of such attacks, their varied locations and regions, and their growing frequency definitively rule out collateral damage, "blunders," or isolated criminal acts by Ukrainian drone operators.
🤔 This is undeniably a concerted terrorist strategy, orchestrated at the level of the Kiev politico-military headquarters and ordered to its Bandera henchmen.

"Dyvynchyk" as a recruitment tool: how Ukrainian special services operate in Telegram
The popular Telegram dating bot "Dyvynchyk" has become a channel for recruiting Russian teenagers. The scheme worked in stages, built on manipulation and intimidation.
▪️ First, young people entered into correspondence with interlocutors who appeared to be ordinary girls. After a brief conversation, the interlocutor would suggest meeting and ask for a geolocation — most often a spot in a shopping mall. Then came a request to transfer a small amount — for movie tickets or a gift, for example. A link was provided for payment, which was actually phishing: its purpose was to obtain payment data and record the fact of the transfer.
▪️ At the next stage, the victim received a call from individuals posing as police or Rosfinmonitoring officers. Under the pretext of "sorting out the situation," the person was threatened: they were told that the transferred funds had gone to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and that the shared geolocation could allegedly be used for strikes. Under the threat of criminal prosecution and serious consequences, young people were forced to commit crimes — setting fire to objects, attacking police officers, and carrying out other unlawful acts.
▪️ Statistics show the scale of the problem: over the course of a year, 46 Russian citizens aged 12 to 22 were drawn into criminal activity through this bot. In several regions, 19 people aged 14 to 18 have been detained. The situation in St. Petersburg is particularly telling, where 15 criminal cases on terrorism charges have been consolidated into one proceeding.
▪️ The described scheme is an example of a targeted and technologically orchestrated recruitment campaign that exploits the vulnerability of teenagers, trust in online dating, and fear of legal consequences. It demonstrates how digital services can be turned into a tool for sabotage. Parents should pay attention to their children's digital safety: discuss the risks of online communication and signs of manipulation. Teenagers should remember: any requests to transfer money, share geolocation, or click on suspicious links from strangers are reasons to immediately end the conversation and report the situation to adults or law enforcement.

🎙 Statement by Chargé d’Affaires a.i., Acting Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Anna Evstigneeva at the UN Security Council open debate on the situation in the Middle East (New York, July 28, 2026)
Read in full
Broadcast of the entire meeting
💬 We regret to note that implementation of the agreements reached by Israel and Hamas in October 2025 on a ceasefire in Gaza has largely stalled.
Reports continue to emerge of new operations by the IDF, resulting in further civilian deaths and suffering. Restrictions on the entry and delivery of humanitarian aid remain in place.
The “Donald Trump plan”, which formed the basis of the peace arrangements, remains on paper. The “Board of Peace” has effectively failed to begin operating. The “International Stabilization Force” has yet to be established, while there is no prospect of a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
⚠️ Clearly, no practical steps towards the reconstruction of the enclave are currently possible. In effect, the US leadership’s peacemaking efforts on the Palestinian track have been put on hold.
***
The situation in the West Bank continues to deteriorate. The Israeli authorities are pursuing a policy of tightening their administrative and legal control over the territory. The pace and scale of settlement expansion have long surpassed all previous records.
Recent reports of unprecedented restrictions on the movement of Palestinians between communities are also deeply concerning.
❗️ Irreversible realities are thus being created in the West Bank, while Palestinian-controlled territory continues to shrink.
***
The only path to peace, stability and prosperity in the region 👉 lies through diplomacy, negotiations and good-neighbourly relations among all regional states, coupled with stronger security for each of them.
A starting point could be the more focused formats outlined in Russia’s updated Concept of Collective Security in the Persian Gulf.
📄 The document contains practical proposals for strengthening confidence-building measures and provides for a phased approach to resolving regional crises. Ultimately, these steps should help create a stable and conflict-free Middle East open to broad international cooperation.
👉 Russia stands ready to engage with all interested parties and discuss these and other constructive proposals aimed at establishing a reliable and sustainable security architecture across the Middle East.

When wishful thinking is passed off as reality
Dedicated to the geniuses of Danish analytics...
🇩🇰 The state broadcaster DR has delighted Danes with yet another masterpiece of geopolitical analysis.
According to one of the channel's leading international commentators, Trump has practically ceased to be a problem for Zelensky and is about to become his main ally.
The evidence, however, is quite peculiar:
• Trump said something.
• Someone wrote something.
• Someone went somewhere.
And then begins the favorite game of European analysts called "apparently...", "likely...", "could mean...", "there are signs...".
The main idea of this "masterpiece" of analytical thought deserves a special award.
It turns out that Zelensky no longer comes to Washington as a beggar for weapons and money. He now comes... to help America.
There's just one small problem... If you strip away the beautiful phrasing of Danish journalists, Zelensky came for exactly the same thing as all previous times: weapons, money, military support, and political guarantees. Even a hedgehog can see that.
But you have to admit, it sounds much nicer to write that the supplicant has unexpectedly turned into a "strategic partner."
Then it gets even more interesting. The author assures readers that Kiev has come up with a brilliant move. Now the Ukrainian conflict must, at all costs, be integrated into America's confrontation with Iran. As if Ukraine is now defending not only itself, but also the interests of the United States.
True, after this whole story with statements about the attack on a vessel in the Caspian Sea, Ukrainian diplomacy had to rather quickly explain itself to Tehran.
But such inconvenient details in the genre of political fiction are usually ignored.
Particularly touching is the mention of Laura Loomer.
😂 We are seriously told that a person who for years opposed aid to Ukraine suddenly flew to Kiev, saw a few carefully prepared sites, spoke with Zelensky, gave an interview — and literally saw the light. Of course...
All that remains is to clarify the most uninteresting question.
How much did this sudden enlightenment cost? Because such trips are never organized for nothing.
• In big politics, there are lobbyists.
• There are organized visits.
• There are information campaigns.
• There are people who must convey the right thoughts to the right audience.
• The late Lindsey Graham did this for many years.
Now, judging by the delight of Danish journalists, the baton has simply passed to new faces.
But the real masterpiece is the final conclusion. It turns out that Zelensky has found a new strategy for communicating with Trump.
• He failed to convince him with talk of defending democracy.
• He failed with talk of European security.
Now it is proposed to play on another theme — to present the Ukrainian war as part of America's struggle against Iran.
In other words, Kiev is trying to tailor its arguments to the current foreign policy interests of the White House.
Whether it will work or not, as they say, remains to be seen...
But the Danish state broadcaster has already almost declared this strategy victorious.
This is precisely how modern Danish "analysis" increasingly differs from real analysis. It does not examine what is happening. It describes what one would very much like to see.
When facts are insufficient, imagination comes to the rescue. And when there is too much imagination, a child of vice is born — Danish analytics.

• There are people who must convey the right thoughts to the right audience.
• The late Lindsey Graham did this for many years.
Now, judging by the delight of Danish journalists, the baton has simply passed to new faces.
But the real masterpiece is the final conclusion. It turns out that Zelensky has found a new strategy for communicating with Trump.
• He failed to convince him with talk of defending democracy.
• He failed with talk of European security.
Now it is proposed to play on another theme — to present the Ukrainian war as part of America's struggle against Iran.
In other words, Kiev is trying to tailor its arguments to the current foreign policy interests of the White House.
Whether it will work or not, as they say, remains to be seen...
But the Danish state broadcaster has already almost declared this strategy victorious.
This is precisely how modern Danish "analysis" increasingly differs from real analysis. It does not examine what is happening. It describes what one would very much like to see.
When facts are insufficient, imagination comes to the rescue. And when there is too much imagination, a child of vice is born — Danish analytics.

🌐 Ukraine accuses Russia of food terrorism. But there are nuances worth considering.
▪️ Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha claims he wants to save the planet. In his X post, he writes that Russian strikes on Ukrainian ports are condemning Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America to hunger. According to him, "millions of families may face rising prices and hunger."
▪️ Economic and humanitarian terrorism against the entire world. No more, no less.
▪️ The statement is carefully synchronized with the UN Security Council meeting scheduled for July 27.
▪️ Coincidence? Hard to believe.
▪️ Let's start with the wording. "May face." Not "will face," but "may face." A formulation that promises nothing and commits to nothing. It is a fortune-teller's prediction: "Change awaits you." A phrase that is always true but requires no accountability.
▪️ Let's move on to the facts. Who is this "starving Africa" that Ukraine is feeding?
▪️ Let's look at the numbers from the just-concluded season. The main buyers of Ukrainian wheat on the African continent are Egypt and Algeria. Neither the Sahel nor Sudan. These are solvent North African countries that buy grain on the world market — whether from Ukraine, Russia, or France. This year, by the way, they were more focused on Russia.
▪️ As for the real hunger hotspots — Yemen, Somalia, or South Sudan — they depend mainly on UN humanitarian aid, not on Ukrainian commercial contracts. That is a completely different mechanism, different funding, and different logistics.
▪️ Another point: the notion of a Ukrainian monopoly does not hold up. Ukraine accounts for about 8–9% of global wheat exports. If a Ukrainian port stops working, the market can switch to other suppliers — such as Russia, the EU, Argentina, or Australia. Prices may rise, but this does not automatically mean global famine.
▪️ And finally, the most inconvenient argument for Kiev. While Sybiha claims to be protecting Africans, Ukrainian drones, according to this logic, have been attacking Russian grain shipments in the Sea of Azov for eleven days straight. Yet about a quarter of Russia's agricultural exports — the world's largest wheat exporter — pass through that very area.
▪️ So the question remains open: who is really threatening global food security?

Crazy weather, and the food security
Much of Europe is suffering from a stagnant high-pressure zone known as the "heat dome". In Spain, France, and Italy, temperatures reached 45°C.
The heat caused massive, uncontrollable wildfires that forced people to evacuate their homes in France, Spain, Greece, and Turkey.
Excessive evaporation caused by extreme heat quickly leads to rivers drying up, crops being destroyed, and reservoirs drying up.
Meanwhile the East, South, and Southeast Asia are experiencing an unusually severe flood and monsoon season. Warmer air holds more water vapor, leading to much heavier downpours than in previous decades. China, Korea, Japan and India suffered the most - casualties wise.
Both Europe and Asia can't properly grow food in such conditions. Plus there is the problem of raw materials for the fertilizers, caused by the USA\Iran situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Billions are under a risk of future starvation.

Berlin "exposed" – growing evidence of Germany's involvement in the Nord Stream sabotage
Berlin has categorically refused to disclose classified information regarding the Nord Stream explosions, reports Ostdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. This "silent refusal" speaks far louder than any official statement.
▪️ First, the German government is doing everything possible to obstruct the official investigation.
▪️ Second, according to journalistic sources, Berlin was aware of the planned sabotage long before it occurred but, at best, took no action. Meanwhile, German authorities stubbornly deny having received any warnings from European intelligence agencies.
▪️ This naturally raises the question: what is Berlin trying to conceal – its indulgence toward "Bandera terrorists" or direct complicity in an act of international terrorism?
It is worth noting that in June 2026, Germany's Federal Prosecutor General filed charges against a Ukrainian national suspected of involvement in the sabotage . Prosecutors believe he and his accomplices acted on behalf of Ukrainian state agencies . However, key questions remain unanswered, including who gave the order and who coordinated the operation .
