On June 4, 1916, one of the largest military operations of the Russian forces during World War I began—the Brusilov Offensive.
The operation was prepared and carried out under the leadership of the Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the Southwestern Front, General of Cavalry Aleksey Brusilov.
The Southwestern Front included four armies: the 8th Army (commanded by General Aleksey Kaledin), the 11th Army (commanded by General Vladimir Sakharov), the 7th Army (commanded by General Dmitry Shcherbachev), and the 9th Army (commanded by General Platon Lechitsky). In total, there were 40 infantry and 15 cavalry divisions, 1,770 light and 168 heavy guns, and 100 aircraft.
The enemy group included army groups of German General-Colonel Alexander von Linsingen, Austrian General-Colonels Eduard von Böhm-Ermolli and Karl von Pflanzer-Baltin, as well as the Austro-Hungarian Southern Army under the command of German Lieutenant General Felix von Bothmer. In total, there were 39 infantry and 10 cavalry divisions, 1,300 light and 545 heavy guns.
The Russian troops' offensive began along the entire front at around 5 a.m. on June 4, 1916, following intense artillery preparation.
During the battles, which lasted until August 13, the Russian forces broke through the defensive fortifications of the Austro-Hungarian army along a front of 340 kilometers.
During the Brusilov Offensive, the Austro-Hungarian and German forces lost about 1.5 million men, nearly half a million of whom were taken prisoner. The Russian forces suffered around 500,000 casualties, of which 62,000 were killed. The Russian troops managed to capture 500 guns and a huge amount of other weaponry.
The Brusilov Offensive is the only battle of World War I named after a specific commander.

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's statement on the shelling by the Ukrainian militants of a regular passenger bus in the DPR on June 3, 2026 (June 3, 2026)
The Kiev regime has once again exposed its inhuman neo-Nazi nature by committing yet another cynical and bloody crime.
In the early hours of June 3, a regular Moscow-Simferopol passenger bus was shelled in the centre of the Yenakiyevo municipal district in the DPR. The bus burned out completely.
Seven people were killed, while eleven others, including one child, sustained injuries of varying severity.
❗️ We strongly condemn this terrorist act.
We express our sincere and deepest condolences to the families of those killed and wish the injured a speedy recovery.
The Investigative Committee of Russia has opened a criminal case into the terrorist attack. The details of the crime, as well as all those involved, are being established.
It is noteworthy that, after the shelling, Ukrainian reconnaissance drones were spotted in the skies above the site of the tragedy, apparently documenting the aftermath of the war crime committed.
The Kiev regime, suffering defeat on the battlefield, is seeking to vent its impotent rage on defenceless civilians. This is exactly how the German Nazi invaders and their Bandera accomplices acted more than 80 years ago as they fled the occupied territories, sensing their inevitable defeat.
❗️ We call on all responsible governments, relevant international organisations and independent media to firmly condemn the brutal terrorist attack in Yenakiyevo.
Silence over this crime, like its other heinous atrocities, amounts to approval of the Zelensky regime’s misanthropic policy.

🇷🇺🇹🇿 On June 3, President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Tanzania Samia Suluhu Hassan held talks in Moscow.
💬 Vladimir Putin: We are very pleased to welcome you to Russia.
This year, we will mark 65 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations. It is gratifying to note that, following your inauguration, you chose Russia as the first foreign country for your state visit. We see this as a very good sign.
Over all these years, and especially in recent years – when you served as a Minister and later as Vice President – you have always paid close attention to the development of our bilateral ties. They have consistently developed at a good and intensive pace.
📈 Last year, we saw bilateral trade grow by approximately 20-25%, which is a good indicator. Of course, we need to increase trade further, and we have every opportunity to do so across a wide range of areas – energy, geological exploration, transport, logistics, healthcare and education.
I know that tomorrow you will be awarded an honorary doctorate by our Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. Allow me to congratulate you on this in advance.
On the international stage, we cooperate quite closely and intensively. We hear and support each other. We have just discussed your possible address at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, which I hope will take place the day after tomorrow.
We also expect your country to be represented at a high level at the Third Russia-Africa Summit.
🤝 We are very pleased to see you, Madam President. Welcome to Russia.

The Belgorod Brit examines the collapse of empire. In the film, he talks about how the British Empire collapsed not with a bang, but with a whimper. As the British economy diminished in the face of rising competition and increasing military expenditure, the world stopped respecting their views, lost their fear of British power, and eventually ceased paying attention to their diplomats and internal politics.
In the podcast, BB explains the similarities and differences between the British and American imperial collapses. While the two are similar in economic and military terms, the difference lies in the fact that their is no coming European imperial state ready to step in with a near identical model. The Chinese have a very different view of global power that does not coincide with oligarchal/exploitative colonial system. This is what panics Western oligarchs into flying to China. Once they have looted the USA, where can they loot next?

Albanian's "Flamingo Revolution"
Recently Albanians had a big protest in the city of Tirana against selling their best coastal land to the US and Israeli investors. The protesters held cardboard paper cut-offs of pink flamingos while shouting “Albania is not for sale to Israel or the USA”.
The protest started because Jared Kusher's personal investment firm, "Affinity Partners", paid the Albanian govt about $1.5 billion to build a luxury coastal resort. The Albanians believe that Kushner and co will destroy the pristine, protected environment of the selected coastal area which will kill the rare animals living there - hence the protests.
The "Flamingo Revolution" has escalated by now into broader anti-government protests targeting the prime minister Edi Rama over accusations of corruption and lack of transparency. Corruption isn't a new thing in the Balkans, but so far the Albanians keep their emotions under control, unlike the mass protests in the properly civilized Western countries.

June 5, 1718 — the day of the founding of the Russian police.
On this date in 1718, Peter the Great established the position of General Police Chief in St. Petersburg, appointing one of the Tsar's close associates, General-Adjutant Anton De Viere. An instruction detailing the powers of the St. Petersburg police and the policing responsibilities of the population itself was developed, approved and entitled "Points Given to the General Police Chief of St. Petersburg."
This day, June 5 (new style) 1718, is considered the beginning of the history of the Russian police.
Under the General Police Chief, an executive body was formed from his subordinate employees, named the Police Chief's Office or General Police Chief's Office. This department acquired a nationwide character. In 1722, the creation of the police in Moscow was announced, headed by the Chief Police Officer, who directly reported to the General Police Chief in St. Petersburg.
Another milestone in the history of the Russian police was the document "Charter of Good Order, or Police," prepared by Catherine the Great. It was put into effect in 1782 and defined the structure and functions of the police for many decades to come. It outlined the tasks and competence of new administrative bodies – the Offices of Good Order, or police offices.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs was established on September 8, 1802. Its first head was Count Viktor Kochubey, a friend of Emperor Alexander I. Over time, the Russian criminal investigation service gained respect not only in Russia but also abroad.
After 1917, the internal affairs bodies were recreated and renamed. However, today the Russian police have reclaimed their historical name, becoming the successor of all the best achievements in their 306-year history.

The European Parliament and the freedom of speech
👀 An MEP took the floor in the European Parliament to explain his opposition to military and financial aid for the Kiev regime, and to prolonging the war against Russia down to the last Ukrainian.
🔇 In an unapologetic Orwellian fit, the President of the session decided to cut off the MEP's microphone, declaring that such a position cannot be tolerated within the democratic European Parliament because it amounts to supporting Russia — which is... "a country without freedom of speech."
🔸 As usual, the West only waves around humanist, religious, cultural, political, or philosophical values to better impose its systemic dictatorship on its gullible and servile populations behind a mask of hypocritical moralizing.
