#Poland #Sikorski reminded an old Polish communist time joke about #Lenin referring to the recent Zakharova ramblings about how he “guaranteed Poland’s independence”: I remind Russian propagandists that Lenin was not only the creator of modern Poland but also a friend to Polish children. Because one day he was shaving in Poronin when a school group passed by outside the window. And he could have slit the children’s throats with his razor, but he didn’t! Likewise, President Putin is a benefactor of Ukraine. After all, he could drop an atomic bomb on Kyiv, and he hasn’t done so yet. The competition for the Nobel Peace Prize will be fierce. Sikorski joke is based on a true story - Lenin indeed lived in Poronin, near Zakopane, a popular tourist town in south of Grand Duchy of Kraków, in what was then Austro-Hungarian Empire, between 1912-1914. The story about razor is probably a legend, but it’s very good illustration of the popular fallacy about “he could do much worse, but he didn’t, so he’s good”.

Oppressive European Union regime from Brussels brutally bullies yet another member state into electric vehicle purchases… …oh wait (sorry if this sarcasm is hard to catch but in #Poland there’s now massive outcry from people claiming that it’s “Brussels” that somehow “forces” people into EV rather than, well, lower cost and comfort) (Turkey is not in EU just in case, MAGA friends)

Summary of #Ukraine attacks #Russia rear areas in November 2025 – 21 fuel facilities (refineries, fuel depots, terminals), 26 energy infrastructure facilities, 9 arms industry plants, 3 military targets. This represents an increase of +20 attacks compared to October (41), which mainly targeted the energy sector.

#Russia Dmitriev in the context of yesterday’s #Odintsovo murder, referring to a broader challenges #Russia FSB will face as result of their tactics of fostering extremist groups for short-term political gains (controlling opposition and migrants, Girkin was also one of the “monarchists” mentioned): The authorities are beginning to work through the most significant risks that the country will face after the end of the special military operation. The first and most significant risk is the rise of nationalist sentiment. At the beginning of the special military operation, nationalists and monarchists were actively used to promote the operation: nationalist ideology and aesthetics were the most fertile ground for mobilising people. However, today the state clearly fears that this agenda could spiral out of control and take on a life of its own. The rise of everyday nationalism among people who have been through combat operations is a huge challenge for the law enforcement system in Russia’s multi-ethnic environment. Reactive forces have built up, and there is no doubt that they will be sought out and deployed; it is impossible to leave such a large number of fighters unsupervised. The FSB tactics can and frequently does blow back into their faces. Damage control is usually managed using the old tested methods like detention or killings of nationalists whom FSB fostered, but who went out of control (like BORN).

Fun things you can do in #Poland mObywatel app implementing #DigitalId - sign a PDF document using an Advanced Electronic Signature (aka Podpis Osobisty or Personal Signature in Polish legal speak). The signature is embedded in the PDF, so most apps will display a badge saying the document is signed. P.S. #Estonia eID apps was doing it for the last 10+ years by the way

I finally managed to unclog my Akkoma instance configuration and deploy the IFTAS DNI blocklist: https://about.iftas.org/library/iftas-dni-list/

#Russia Foreign Minister Lavrov: The United States promised Russia not to accept Ukraine into NATO and to facilitate the transfer of territories. So this means US will transfer Alaska in exchange for what Russian territories exactly? Doesn’t look like a good deal at all :blobthinking:

Today’s #Poland minister of foreign affairs Radosław (Radek) Sikorski in 1987-1989 when he was a war correspondent in #Soviet occupied #Afghanistan. The last one is a photograph of a family killed and mummified in their home as a result of a Soviet Air Force bombing raid for which he received World Press Photo Awards in 1988.

In #Russia #Moscow suburb #Odintsovo a teenager broke into a local school and wandered with a knife, asking children about their nationality. He spared those who said “Russian” and murdered a 10 years old Tajik pupil. Inscriptions on his helmet say “KILL KIKES, SAVE RUSSIA” and “RACE. FATHERLAND. REVOLUTION”. The patch on his vest (black sun) is self-explanatory, it’s used by many nationalist groups, including “Rusich”. “13/52” is a racist slur targeting Black people.
