If you are Russian, no doubt by now you will have noticed that the Russian government does not represent you THE PEOPLE.

 

New "rules" are being made up daily to undermine our Legal System, effectively turning us into Government Slaves. We are no longer in control of our government, they no longer even pretend to act on our behalf once elected. Pretty soon they will no longer need to pretend we have any rights at all.

 

The intention of this board is to provide free space for the people of this Nation to circumvent the traitorous Media, Government and Business interests arrayed against us the people, to allow us to post a collection of open-sourced and verifiable information, supplied BY and FOR the Russian People to demonstrate their corruption and lies and take back OUR power.

 

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.

 

Let's take back our power collectively, no matter your racial, employment (yes, the police and military too) or religious background, we are all in this together, and will be subjected to the same tyranny if we allow the perverts and criminals in power to proceed with their plans.

i see you are setting up several threads: for Russia, China and the Koreas (I assume it's not just North Korea?).

Wish you luck, we have had a Russia thread before, a lot of threads got wiped out in 2022 by the turbo spammer, who filled all the threads to 751 in a few minutes.

Let me know if you have any questions on META.

One of BVs generally looks after international threads. If these take off, I'm sure you'll see him around at times.

Russia Rolls Out VPN Ban Nationwide

Published: March 7, 2024

Curbing free speech. Curbing privacy.

 

The Russian government is employing an increasingly strict approach to manage and rein in the digital freedom its citizens have enjoyed in recent years by introducing a ban on VPN services.

 

The embargo, poised to be enforced this month, targets not just VPN ads but also websites offering advice on how to navigate around the country’s censorship barriers.

 

This clampdown appears to signify one of the most recent moves in a long-term strategy aimed at curbing access to information from outside Russia, effectively insulating its internet users while simultaneously beefing up the government’s surveillance prowess. Consequently, VPNs, which could be perceived as one of the last resort tools available to Russians for tapping into international viewpoints, are being denied to the users.

 

VPNs, shorthand for Virtual Private Networks, essentially establish a secure digital conduit that endows internet users with privacy protections. They make this feasible by encrypting the internet connection, thus obstructing external viewers from prying into individuals’ online activities. Beyond dodging government-imposed censorship, VPNs are vital tools used by modern internet users for securing their sensitive data, accessing geographically limited content, and promoting private browsing devoid of tracking.

 

It appears that the Russian government’s hardened stance on VPN services transcends the basic desire to just restrain freedom of speech. Since VPNs allow internet users to maintain their privacy, Russia’s actions will hinder access to online privacy in the country.

you are not allowed to talk, as my thinking is holy.

 

if you do nothing at all, your heart (soul, shakras) does it for you, mark 12 30 and comfy, that is it.

with that there obviously is neither timing, nor any sort of equality feels connection with a to be kept feel of the earth (even when I might have considered as God for 5 mins in my creation).

 

I DO NOT WANT TO DO ANY SORT OF RITUAL AND CREATION SUFFERS WHEN YOU FORCE MY HOLY AND PERFECT WAY.

there is no cooking on earth.

there never was cooking.

I will not shout at supermarkets in the world that is so called 3rd by those cunts looking to frame countries being saved from deamons, and folks in China not being able to do fine until folks in US suffer bc of some equality.

Those folks are looking for their jobs and lives.

They are not looking for your interests.

They throw realities at me, in a ritual that seeks to annoy, ridicule, break me.

While that I am forced to create all of your existence.

Those realities, able of actual cooking, they provided an option for me, the Lord of Lords where you folks indeed will not be able to walk anymore bc having tried out how long my walks with estimated groceries will take.

That I will not do.

Cruelty is always wrong.

If you look to make me handable to you, with that creation and also try to keep the world shit as per your claimed symbolism, but truly your non faith in others to let you be a thing after knowing what you did.

You will be [ ] entirely. those here and now. those being a willing burden to creation.

 

If you now try to read shit into my word, that prolly does not change anything, bc I feel there are cunts responsible for all kinds of stuff summed up on a huge pile.

 

there is actual heavens, those planning ways of live, they do actually ask me if majorities need to be US style in the future, they do not.

if you are a cunt not being fine with Trump, I could not care less.

if you need some source of anger when Trump is playing nice and fair as per my wish, you will [ ] today.

there is no folks in heavens depending on disgust, fear or anything. in that way not even on love, no timing, no equality, no feels eating aliens.

let them have it.

comfy and do not do anything is my order and it makes treason fairly visible.

 

you stepping out if supermarket when I walk by is not only obviously not much friendly to the holy temple itself, such as claiming saying 2 in a situation of my discomfort is gonna save anyone, it does also not make you holy in any way.

if you annoy me, it´s wrong.

if that is your job description, I´d rather have a world without you folks.

 

comfy. now. EO by God himself. at all times.

"Газпром" приобретает бывшую долю Shell в проекте "Сахалин-2" за 1 млрд долларов

Боян Лепич, 27 марта 2024 г.

 

Российский энергетический гигант, контролируемый государством, "Газпром" купил 27,5% акций производителя СПГ "Сахалин Энерджи", ранее принадлежавших Shell, за 94,8 млрд рублей (1,02 млрд долларов).

 

Бывшая доля Shell в "Сахалин Энерджи" будет продана компании под названием "Сахалинский проект", полностью принадлежащей "Газпрому".

 

До этого приобретения "Газпрому" принадлежало 50% "Сахалин Энерджи", в то время как двумя другими партнерами были японские компании Mitsui с долей в 12,5%, в то время как Mitsubishi владела оставшимися 10%. В результате этой покупки "Газпром" будет контролировать 77,5% компании.

 

В 2022 году на долю "Сахалин Энерджи" приходилось почти 3% мирового спроса на СПГ. Компания поставляет охлажденное топливо в основном в Японию, Южную Корею, Китай, Индию и другие азиатские страны. В прошлом году компания произвела более 10 млн метрических тонн СПГ по сравнению с 11,5 млн тонн в 2022 году.

 

Комплекс состоит из трех стационарных морских производственных платформ, морских и береговых трубопроводов, берегового перерабатывающего комплекса, завода по производству СПГ и терминала по экспорту нефти с погрузочной установкой для танкеров. Терминалы по экспорту нефти и СПГ "Сахалин-2" начали свою работу в декабре 2008 года и феврале 2009 года, соответственно.

 

Несколько компаний покинули сахалинские проекты после того, как Россия вторглась в Украину в начале 2022 года. Shell вышла из проекта "Сахалин-2", в то время как крупнейшая компания ExxonMobil покинула дочерний проект "Сахалин-1". Shell зарезервировала 1,6 млрд долларов после того, как избавилась от своей доли. Другими компаниями, покинувшими различные проекты в России, были, в частности, BP, Equinor и TotalEnergies.

 

Операционная компания "Сахалин-2" стала российским юридическим лицом указом президента позднее в 2022 году. Shell, Mitsui и Mitsubishi было предложено подать заявку на сохранение своих долей, но Shell отказалась. Затем Россия предложила компаниям приобрести ее долю, а также оставленную ExxonMobil долю в Sakahlin-1.

 

Российская энергетическая компания "Новатэк" должна была приобрести долю Shell, но распоряжение о продаже было по необъяснимым причинам аннулировано правительством.

Gazprom takes over former Shell Sakhalin-2 stake for $1bn

Bojan Lepic March 27, 2024

 

Russian state-controlled energy giant Gazprom has bought a 27.5% stake in LNG producer Sakhalin Energy, previously held by Shell, for 94.8bn roubles ($1.02bn).

 

The ex-Shell stake in Sakhalin Energy will be sold to a company named Sakhalin Project, fully owned by Gazprom.

 

Before this acquisition, Gazprom owned 50% of Sakhalin Energy while the two other partners were Japanese companies Mitsui with a 12.5% stake while Mitsubishi held the remaining 10%. With this buy, Gazprom will control 77.5% of the company.

 

In 2022, Sakhalin Energy accounted for almost 3% of global LNG demand. It ships the chilled fuel mainly to Japan, South Korea, China, India, and other Asian countries. Last year, it produced more than 10m metric tons of LNG, down from 11.5 million tons in 2022.

 

The development consists of three fixed offshore production platforms, offshore and onshore pipelines, an onshore processing facility, an LNG plant, and an oil export terminal with a tanker loading unit. The Sakhalin-2 oil and LNG export terminals commenced operations in December 2008 and February 2009, respectively.

 

Several companies left the Sakhalin projects after Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. Shell quit the Sakhalin-2 project while supermajor ExxonMobil left the sister Sakhalin-1 project. Shell booked a $1.6bn after getting rid of its stake. Other companies that left different projects in Russia were BP, Equinor, and TotalEnergies among others.

 

The Sakhalin-2 operating company became a Russian entity via a presidential decree later in 2022. Shell, Mitsui, and Mitsubishi were asked to apply to keep their stakes but Shell opted out. Russia then invited companies to obtain its stake as well as ExxonMobil’s abandoned share in Sakahlin-1.

 

Russian energy company Novatek was supposed to take over Shell’s stake but the order for the sale was inexplicably nullified by the government.

Страны ЕС увеличивают закупки российского зерна

8 апреля 2024 г.

Латвия призывает Евросоюз запретить экспорт сельскохозяйственной продукции из своей соседней страны из-за конфликта на Украине

 

Латвия значительно увеличила объем закупок зерна у России в первом квартале 2024 года, сообщила в понедельник служба государственных доходов в Риге. Недавно Прибалтийская страна объявила о запрете на некоторые виды российского импорта, но освободила от него два ключевых продукта.

 

Рига была одним из самых ярых сторонников введения санкций ЕС в отношении российского зерна, ссылаясь на конфликт на Украине. Это не помешало Латвии увеличить импорт сельскохозяйственной продукции из России почти на 40% по сравнению с первым кварталом 2023 года.

 

За первые три месяца через границу было ввезено в общей сложности 158 325 тонн зерна, в основном кукурузы, что на 39,8% больше, чем в первом квартале прошлого года, сообщили Балтийской службе новостей в Латвийском таможенном агентстве. Стоимость импорта оценивалась чуть более чем в 27 миллионов евро (29 миллионов долларов).

 

Помимо 135 539 тонн кукурузы, Латвия ввезла 8 530 тонн ржи и 8 744 тонны пшеницы и пшенично-ржаной смеси, а также другие зерновые культуры. Импорт ржи вырос на 70% в годовом исчислении, в то время как импорт кукурузы увеличился на 26,5%.

 

Власти Риги не располагают информацией о том, сколько импортированного зерна было фактически потреблено в стране и сколько было экспортировано в другие страны -члены ЕС. Население Латвии составляет 1,88 миллиона человек, что делает объяснение внутренним потреблением крайне маловероятным.

 

Более того, в первом квартале этого года транзитом через Латвию было перевезено 596 807 тонн российского зерна – в основном пшеницы, кукурузы и ячменя, – предназначенного для других стран, что на 78,9% больше, чем за аналогичный период 2023 года.

 

В феврале парламент Латвии ввел запрет на импорт кормов для животных из России и Беларуси, чтобы продемонстрировать солидарность с Украиной. Однако запрет предусматривал исключения для двух ключевых продуктов.

 

Подсолнечный жмых, который используется фермерами, выращивающими яйца и птицеводство, в качестве корма для кур, в ЕС не производится. По данным государственной телекомпании LSM, Латвия ежегодно закупает его в России на сумму около 50 миллионов евро и, вероятно, экспортирует часть из него в другие страны блока.

 

Еще один продукт, на который не распространяется запрет, - свекловичный жом с патокой, используемый для кормления коров и свиней. В прошлом году Латвия импортировала из России более 25 миллионов евро.

 

Россия является одним из крупнейших в мире экспортеров зерна, кормов и удобрений. Хотя США и их союзники не ввели прямых санкций в отношении этих товаров из-за конфликта на Украине, их транспортировка по морю была затруднена из-за санкций в отношении коммерческого судоходства.

EU state ramps up purchases of Russian grain

8 Apr, 2024

Latvia has been calling on the bloc to ban agriculture exports from its neighbor over the Ukraine conflict

 

Latvia significantly increased the volume of grain bought from Russia in the first quarter of 2024, the state revenue service in Riga announced on Monday. The Baltic nation recently announced a ban on some Russian imports, but exempted two key products.

 

Riga has been one of the most outspoken advocates of imposing EU sanctions on Russian grain, citing the Ukraine conflict. This has not stopped Latvia from increasing its agricultural imports from Russia by almost 40% compared to the first quarter of 2023.

 

A total of 158,325 tons of grain – mainly corn – came in across the border in the first three months, 39.8% more than in Q1 last year, the Latvian customs agency told the Baltic News Service. The value of imports was estimated at just over €27 million ($29 million).

 

In addition to 135,539 tons of corn, Latvia brought in 8,530 tons of rye and 8,744 tons of wheat and wheat-rye mixture, among other grains. Rye imports rose by 70% year over year, while corn imports increased by 26.5%.

 

The authorities in Riga do not have information about how much of the imported grain was actually consumed in the country and how much was exported to other EU member states. Latvia has a population of 1.88 million, making a domestic-consumption explanation highly unlikely.

 

Moreover, 596,807 tons of Russian grain – mainly wheat, corn and barley – intended for other countries transited through Latvia in the first quarter of this year, 78.9% more than in the same period of 2023.

 

In February, the Latvian parliament imposed a ban on importing animal feed from Russia and Belarus, in order to show solidarity with Ukraine. However, the ban contained exemptions for two key products.

 

Sunflower cake, which is used as chicken feed by egg and poultry farmers, is not produced in the EU. Latvia buys about €50 million worth of it from Russia every year and likely exports some of it elsewhere into the bloc, according to the state broadcaster LSM.

 

Another product exempt from the ban is beet pulp with molasses, used to feed cows and pigs. Latvia imported more than €25 million worth from Russia last year.

 

Russia is one of the world’s largest exporters of grain, feed and fertilizer. While these commodities have not been outright sanctioned by the US and its allies on account of the Ukraine conflict, their transport by sea has been made more difficult by sanctions on commercial shipping.
