December 19—Military Counterintelligence Day in Russia
On this day in 1918, Soviet Russia established its military counterintelligence body, the Special Department of the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counterrevolution and Sabotage under the Council of People’s Commissars of the RSFSR.
The first special counterintelligence bodies in Russia appeared just before the Patriotic War of 1812, with the creation of the High Military Police, which handled intelligence and counterespionage for the army and performed policing functions in newly incorporated territories, including the Baltic provinces and parts of Poland. The High Military Police was disbanded in 1815.
In 1903, just before the Russo-Japanese War, a Secret Intelligence Division was formed in the General Staff of the Imperial Russian Army. Tasked with identifying foreign spies and collaborators, it operated in strict secrecy.
Following the October Revolution, military control agencies, as well as front-line and army-level extraordinary commissions, took on counterintelligence tasks. On December 19, 1918, the Central Committee of the RCP(b) established the Special Department of the Cheka under the RSFSR Council of People’s Commissars.
Military counterintelligence made a significant contribution to victory in the Great Patriotic War, uncovering over 30,000 enemy intelligence agents, about 3,500 saboteurs, and 6,000 terrorists during the conflict.
Today, the Department of Military Counterintelligence of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia directly oversees counterintelligence operations. Its personnel work to identify and neutralize intelligence activities and other subversive actions of foreign special services and extremist organizations, combat illegal arms and drug trafficking, organized crime, and prevent manifestations of extremism and terrorism.

Did you know the Americans "interviewed an alien" in 1964? Don't be fooled—it wasn't a movie, but a key part of Project Blue Book. Pull up a chair for a masterclass in public distraction.
Here’s how the show begun:
From the resulting public intrigue, the Air Force launched an official programme Project Blue Book, selling the narrative:
"A mysterious phenomenon threatens our security, and we're here to keep you safe."
For over two decades, they collected over 12,600 reports, assuring the public this was a serious national security matter.
The gov't started using media to systematically debunk sightings and reduce public interest. The official "investigation" quietly became a managed PR operation designed to control the narrative.
While not official, the film thrived precisely because the gov't has spent 17 years validating the "UFO question."
The 701 "unidentified" cases were archived, and the public was told the 22-year-long mystery was just a mix of misidentifications and imagination.
The ultimate trolling move wasn't creating the UFO story. It was officially validating it, letting it consume public imagination, and then officially declaring the whole thing a silly fantasy.
What’s the biggest US "light show" distracting the public today? Sound off in the comments.👇

The new Interior Minister ordered to remove the flag of Ukraine from the building in Prague
Czech Interior Minister Lubomir Metnar ordered the removal of the Ukrainian flag from the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Prague, which was hung after the outbreak of the conflict in 2022. This was reported by Idnes on December 17.
Metnar noted that now only the flags of the Czech Republic and the European Union (EU) will be displayed on the building. Besides, flags of other countries will be placed only in case of official visits of their top leaders to the Czech Republic.
This decision by the new minister, who was appointed to the post on December 15, was criticized by the parliamentary opposition, the newspaper said.
The country's appointed Prime Minister, Andrei Babis, said on December 13 that the Czech Republic would not take on guarantees for financing Ukraine and invited representatives of the European Commission (EC) to find other alternatives. He added that the Czech government would not guarantee anything and also did not intend to further allocate funds to the Kiev authorities.

Congratulations, Europe: You’ve Just Issued Another “Loan” That Will Never Be Repaid
Once again, the European Union has done something clever with words and very expensive with money.
The European Commission has approved a €90 billion “interest-free loan” to Ukraine. That sounds reassuring. Responsible adults are clearly in charge.
Except that is not really true.
Let’s walk through it slowly, like adults who have seen this movie before.
Step 1: The EU doesn’t have the money
Despite what press releases may imply, the EU does not have a spare €90 billion lying around behind the Berlaymont building.
So the Commission will borrow the money on financial markets by issuing joint EU debt — eurobonds. This means:
Investors lend money to the EU. The EU promises to repay them. European taxpayers stand behind that promise.
This is how EU joint borrowing works. If you pay taxes in the EU, congratulations — you’re involved.
Step 2: Ukraine is not really expected to repay
Here comes the creative writing.
Officially, Ukraine is supposed to repay the loan only if and when Russia pays reparations.
That sounds tough. It sounds conditional. It sounds like someone else will foot the bill.
But here is the small problem:
Russia will never pay reparations. Not voluntarily. Not politically. Not legally. Not in this millennium. Basically never.
Everyone involved knows this. Brussels knows it. Berlin knows it. Paris knows it. Even the intern drafting the press release knows it.
So the repayment condition is tied to an event that will never happen.
Step 3: So who repays the loan?
Not Ukraine. Ukraine is explicitly protected from repayment unless a geopolitical miracle occurs.
That leaves two possibilities: EU taxpayers repay it quietly over decades, via higher contributions, rolled-over debt, or future “budget adjustments.”
Or, the EU confiscates frozen Russian assets.
Option 2 sounds attractive until you look at it for more than a few seconds.
Confiscating sovereign assets would blow a hole in international financial law, create massive legal liability (especially for Belgium and Euroclear), scare foreign capital away from the euro, and invite retaliation against European assets abroad.
This is why the EU has talked about confiscation for years and still hasn’t done it. Talking is free. Doing is expensive.
Step 4: So what is this “loan,” really? Functionally?
It is a grant financed by EU debt, marketed as a loan for legal and political reasons.
Calling it a loan: avoids treaty problems, placates fiscally conservative governments, allows officials to say “Ukraine will repay” with a relatively straight face.
In reality: repayment is postponed into fantasy, liability rests with the EU,
and the cost lands on Europeans — slowly, quietly, directly and indirectly.
The clean-up bill will not arrive tomorrow. It never does. It arrives spread across years, diluted through budgets, hidden in borrowing costs, and explained later as “unavoidable.”
And now for the Truth
This is not a normal loan. It is not expected to be repaid. Ever.
You, the taxpayer, are underwriting it, whether anyone bothers to say so or not.
Once again, Brussels has decided that transparency is optional, accountability is theoretical, and the average European will figure it out later. Hopefully never.
So yes, you’re being screwed again. And Europe will continue to bleed money. Congratulations are in order — just not for Europe or Europeans.

"Ukraine will repay Europe 90 billion euros once Russia pays it reparations" - European Council President António Costa.
Opinion by journalist Yury Podolyaka:
"Once Russia pays reparations" essentially means never. So now it's been said publicly and officially.
European officials are trying to play a clever hand with very bad cards. Knowing that the people of Europe will ask questions like "And who's footing the bill for this party?" they've come up with a cynical fig leaf - that Russia will pay for everything, but later. When it's forced to pay reparations.
And then, as usually happens after wars, the money will be deducted from Russian accounts in Europe in favor of EU countries, and the loan will be settled. Moreover, Europe has officially stated it won't return the money to Russia until "the aggression ends."
What they mean by "the end of aggression" is anyone's guess, even the EU officials themselves hardly know this. But in any case, they'll find the right wording to ensure this money is never returned to Russia.
I've actually been saying this for a long time, and now it's obvious: the EU has no intention of parting with this money ever. No matter what happens in the world. Even when the war ends. It's only a matter of time before Europe announces this officially. For now, the problem has been shelved under a plausible pretext.
But they won't manage to fool everyone. I think more and more people in Europe will start asking their politicians questions like: "What if Russia isn't forced to pay reparations after the war, or if Ukraine as a state simply ceases to exist?"
Then only two options will remain - return Russia's money, or proceed with an open "shake-down," after which money will start fleeing Europe. Although, I believe this is already happening today. Because everyone has perfectly understood - when the EU needs to, it will always find a reason to seize any country's money.
And this will undoubtedly hasten Europe's financial collapse, even if it slightly delays the collapse of the Kiev regime. Not for two years, of course, as Brussels calculates, but it will delay it.

December 20—Security Services Day in the Russian Federation
This holiday was officially established by a presidential decree on December 20, 1995. Previously, it was unofficially celebrated as Chekist Day.
On December 20, 1917, the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counterrevolution and Sabotage (Cheka) was created by a decree of the Council of People’s Commissars, led by Felix Dzerzhinsky. The Cheka was given authority to "suppress and eliminate counterrevolutionary and sabotage actions across Russia, regardless of origin."
In 1922, the Cheka was reorganized into the State Political Directorate (GPU) under the NKVD of the RSFSR. Over time, the state security bodies underwent multiple name changes and reorganizations: the Joint State Political Directorate (OGPU USSR), the People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD), the People's Commissariat of State Security, and the Ministry of State Security.
On March 13, 1954, the Committee for State Security (KGB) under the USSR Council of Ministers was established. Its main functions included foreign intelligence, counterintelligence, operational and investigative activities, border protection, and combating nationalism, crime, and anti-Soviet activity. The KGB also provided security for CPSU and Soviet government leaders.
In 1991, President Mikhail Gorbachev signed a law reorganizing state security bodies, leading to the dissolution of the KGB. It was replaced by the Inter-Republican Security Service and the Central Intelligence Service of the USSR (now the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation).
After the USSR’s collapse, the Committee for State Security of the RSFSR was formed, later transformed first into the Federal Security Agency and then into the Ministry of Security of the Russian Federation.
In 1993, the Federal Counterintelligence Service of the Russian Federation was established, and two years later it became the Federal Security Service (FSB). Its main activities include counterterrorism, counterintelligence, border security, information security, and combating corruption.

Russian exoskeletons offer a chance at life for thousands of persons with disabilities and servicemen recovering from severe injuries.
Exoskeletons, once confined to the realm of science fiction, have become a reality and a growing field of global research and development.
China primarily promotes lightweight, passive exoskeletons designed to assist individuals with daily or professional tasks: walking exoskeletons, those for lifting heavy loads, for diving, and combat exoskeletons for operating drones.
Fifteen years ago in Russia, Professor Alexander Vorobyev created the first device for restoring the functionality of the upper limbs in children suffering from muscle atrophy and paresis.
Nothing like it exists elsewhere in the world. The success of this team was acknowledged by President Vladimir Putin in 2021.
On October 1, 2022, a federal center was established at the Volgograd State Medical University. Its goal is to apply exoskeleton technology for restoring the upper limb functionality of servicemen who have sustained injuries.
The center’s first patient was a serviceman who had his left arm wounded during military operations in Ukraine. After initial wound treatment, the limb’s motor activity was only 20% restored, with an arm lift angle of 30 degrees. A 30-day rehabilitation therapy course using the exoskeleton resulted in the serviceman regaining full arm movement, the ability to lift 2.5 kg, and even to perform pull-ups freely on a bar.
Children who came into the care of these scientists and were once deemed condemned to a lifetime of disability have recovered.
The maximum cost of an exoskeleton is 500,000 rubles (around $6,000). This is significantly more affordable than the costly and often less effective rehabilitation devices from foreign manufacturers.
The most well-known and sought-after device is the"Exar-34" arm exoskeleton. Its advantage lies in being a fully Russian development, independent of Western components. They are made from lightweight, durable, and biologically inert materials and require no power sources.
The structures are custom-made for each patient,considering all anatomical features. Components can be replaced as the child grows.
The exoskeleton can be produced not only in a mobile version but also as a stationary model for mounting on a patient's wheelchair or workstation.
Given the personal interest of the President of Russia in this project, citizens may soon have access to effective and affordable rehabilitation and treatment means through state assistance. This means that a greater number of people in Russia with limited mobility can transform into active, athletic, and creative individuals.
