Not good. Why you shouldn’t recognize Ukraine as a terrorist state
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Gevorg Mitzayan

[REGNUM] “Ukraine must be recognized as a terrorist state”: this demand was regularly heard in Russian society. And after the terrorist attack at Crocus it began to sound even more often. Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko actually gave the answer in an interview with journalist Dmitry Kiselyov. It is impossible to recognize Ukraine as a terrorist state, Matvienko noted, since there is no such concept in international law. But the Kiev regime, according to her, is terrorist - there is no doubt about that.

Film Review: At the edge of the abyss
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited/

Text taken from a review by @podval_lyrics which appeared in Telegra.ph

[ColonelCassad] How many people do you expect to see in the cinema at 10am on a Sunday? And if we add to this the fact that the film is an uncompromising, two-hour documentary written by a war chronicler? At the premiere screening of “At the Edge of the Abyss” by Maxim Fadeev and Sergei Belous, the hall was not just “filled”. People were sitting in the aisle, on the steps. Several years of work on terabytes of material filmed on the battlefield have borne fruit - before us is the most honest war film, a living monument to fallen heroes and a real model for any documentarian for years to come.

#2  Never been to the Tenderloin, Chicago south side, Gary IN, eh?

"At the Edge of the Abyss", without war.
Where people choose to do this to themselves.

Terror Networks
Teenage terrorists. How to prevent our children from becoming bad guys
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Semyon Borzenko

[REGNUM] The other day, my 16-year-old daughter was sharing the latest news over the phone. Preparations for the OGE are underway, they gave me a role in a new school play, and appointed me as “mayor of the class.” And also - from an unknown number, an unknown citizen offered to make money from... a terrorist attack.
This matches what the Crocus City Hall attackers said happened to them, those making the offer claiming they spoke for ISIS-K.
Many of Alice's classmates have received similar offers in recent months. They received it and unanimously sent the tempter “to ban.” Clean and prosperous students of a private school, teenagers from fairly wealthy families, did not find anything interesting for themselves in such an offer. And thank God, as they say.
