Ben Stimson ✍

👍 Today, I tried to register to vote in the upcoming Duma elections. Its actually a slightly similar system to Britain's electoral register. Though in Russia your automatically added once registered at an address. Well, its simple unless your registered in a city you dont live in. 😆

Пока у нашей Матильды нет друга, ей приходится примерять мужские вещи😂 футболка на заказ для брутального мужчины (for our dear Ben❤️☺️) Thanks to Marina for the t-shirt.

Когда уголья будутъ гаснуть, ты тронь ихъ щипцами, ударь по обгорѣлымъ чернымъ головнямъ — и ринутся и запляшутъ искры, а ты сядь ближе, наклонись къ жару и слушай шопотъ огня. Ты видишь — рушатся безшумно стѣны и падаютъ, чуть свистя, багряныя башни. Ты видишь, какъ, сверкая червонными кольчугами, поднялись рыцари и унеслись, кружась, огненные монахи. Ты видишь метанія горящихъ знаменъ. Сядь ближе, наклонись такъ, чтобы тихій багрянецъ озарилъ твое лицо, и слушай шопотъ огня. Слушай... Иванъ Лукашъ, Галлиполи, август-сентябрь, 1921г. 🙂Влад Сергеевич. Подписаться.

🇷🇺 🇨🇴 One of our Colombian comrades we thought was missing in action has just got in contact. Call sign 'Snakeblack' is back. 💪

🌍 For anyone who wants some African flavour tonight, one of our veterans will djing at this event. Dj Malon was in a storm unit and was wounded twice. He received his SVO medal and recently gained his Russian citizenship. He is also a great Dj. 💪

🪖 Callsign 'Shak' at Debaltsevo in 2015. We were making fun of our comrade 'Frost' using a tourist guide. Shak was at that time, like me an Interbrigades recruit. He was sadly killed at the start of the SVO. Rest in peace brother. 🕊

Снесли памятники Пушкину. Установили памятник алкашу в бурьянах. Назвали алкаша с мутным взглядом «Шекспиром». Шекспир бы сам себя в этом памятнике не узнал, потому надпись большая. После дождя шедевр может разрушиться, потому что по первому впечатлению слеплен из кизяков и глины.

🇬🇧 🇷🇺 In Russia the red squirrel is very common, and tame. Its a beautiful aspect of Russian wildlife. In the UK this small squirrel is now an endangered species. In the late 1800s rich English men imported the American gray squirrel. This larger, arrogant rodent out competed the native red squirrel. It took away its habitat and resources, pushing it out of its native land. Now its almost extinct in its own country... A metaphor maybe?

🇧🇷 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 🇷🇺 A very nice piece written by my good friend Migele from Spain. Migele is another first wave volunteer from 2014. Two survivors. Two friends. 💪✊ Ben Stimson Stimson from the UK and @Rodolfo from Brazil. I know both of them personally. They belong to that first generation of internationalists who went to Donetsk to join the Donbass militias after the Maidan bloody coup against Ukraine. They arrived long before this war became a permanent feature of the European news. I was particularly close to Rodolfo during some of the hardest years in Donetsk, when the city was being shelled by the death squads of the Ukrainian oligarch Petro Poroshenko, who at the time was the strongman of the Maidan regime. Both men are survivors. Ben eventually returned to Britain, where he was imprisoned after being convicted of terrorism offences connected with his activities in the Donbass. He later left the UK for Russia and has since become a Russian citizen. When I first knew Rodolfo, he was a lieutenant in the Donetsk Peoples militias. Today he serves as an officer in the Russian armed forces. After so many years, he has become an almost legendary figure among those who have followed Donetsk and its long war against the Maidan regime. Whatever others may think about this conflict, my judgement of these two men comes from knowing them personally, not from reading about them in newspapers. To me, they are genuine heroes: survivors, men of conviction, and above all, two guys with enormous hearts. It makes me genuinely happy to see them together and smiling after everything they have lived through.#gonzoblogger

🇬🇧 🇷🇺 One thing Britain and Russia have in common is the work ethic of local council workmen. Three men are on the job, one works, the other two watch. 😆
