⚡️🇷🇺 Every country that aligned with the West converted to Satanism immediately afterward, said Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As an example, she cited the statement of the Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Alen Simonyan, who called to "check why the Church does not pay taxes and to consider from a legal point of view what a priest, who is kissed on the hand, does more than an ordinary businessman who pays taxes and buys ammunition for the army". @worldpravda

Also, today we remember a sadder event - the genocide of the Pontic Greeks. These heirs of the Byzantine Empire, who still retain the self-name Romans (Ρωμαίο), lived on this land for thousands of years, until they were almost completely exterminated and expelled by the Young Turks a century ago. Nowadays only numerous temples and monasteries, abandoned or occupied by mosques, remind of them. The photo shows the ancient monastery of Panagia Sumela in the Pontic Mountains, now a museum, where the authorities allow parties, but not services.

#Officials ⚡️The Russian response to Paris sending troops to Ukraine will not only be political

We cannot help but take such statements, and, in fact, veiled threats, very seriously,

- stated the Russian Foreign Ministry. ⏺It was also noted that the increasingly belligerent rhetoric of the French President does not find widespread support among EU and NATO allies and is rejected by a significant majority of the French. The department emphasized that if such a scenario were to materialize, the response measures would lie “far beyond the political plane.”

3/3 All of this, in turn, also rather complicated the calculations of Russia's revolutionary socialist parties. Particularly wrong-footed were the mainstream Social Democrats, the Mensheviks, who immediately concluded that February was indeed Marx's predicted "bourgeois revolution" from which, in due course, the Russian bourgeoisie would somehow, without a thought, edge the country toward socialism. And where the Mensheviks led in 1917, the vastly more popular but less well-organized and less well-led Party of Socialist Revolutionaries (SRs) tended to follow, not least because at the heart of its ideology and party program was a commitment to a solution of Russia's land problems through universal socialization of the land—a solution that, in retrospect, was so unrealistic that most of their party leaders by 1917 no longer stood by it. Even those SR luminaries who did stand by land socialization, such as V.M. Chernov, found its practical implementation during wartime to be more than just a little problematic. When he was Minister of Agriculture from May to September 1917, Chernov became so enraged by the propensity of his SR partners in government to stymie any scheme he put forward to at least edge toward the general repartition of the land that the peasants desired that he eventually resigned. Thus, unable to get what they wanted alone, the Mensheviks, SRs, and Kadets through most of 1917 found themselves attached to one another, usually in a series of coalition governments. This is how the February Revolution turned into the February farce, for lack of a better term.

2/3 The artificiality of the February proceedings and their issues endured as the key players came to terms with the fact that the revolution and the sudden collapse of the Tsar had absolutely failed to deliver what each of them had either expected or desired. Most liberals, and certainly most of Miliukov's Kadets who would subsequently form the political leadership corps of the White movement in the civil wars, desired a constitutional monarchy. So too, though sometimes reluctantly, did most of the military leaders who had advised Nicholas to abdicate and certainly the future White commanders Admiral A.V. Kolchak and Generals A.I. Denikin and L.G. Kornilov. However, this plan for a constitutional monarchy would fall through as Grand Duke Mikhail Aleksandrovich refused the Provisional Government's offer of the vacant throne on March 3, 1917. Russian liberals, even the radicals like most Kadets, generally cleaved to the idea of a constitutional monarchy for the sake of continuity and out of a realistic calculation that, in a democratic system, their weak and stunted constituency would deliver them only a small fraction of the popular vote. Hence, while unconditionally supporting the principle that Russia's future form of government should be decided by a Constituent Assembly, the Kadets spent most of 1917 attempting to delay the summoning of that very assembly.

1/3 February 1917 marks the month of the true revolution in Russia. Poor Nicholas was forced to abdicate by his generals at Pskov in favor of his brother, who turned down the throne. He then attempted, for a brief period, to make his son the emperor, but the poor boy was too sickly for such a role. So, as of February, Russia was without a Tsar, still embroiled in the First World War, and now also in deep political turmoil. The February Revolution is often overlooked when discussing the Russian civil wars, and it is no wonder why. After removing Nicholas II, nobody really got what they wanted out of the deal. Hence, the first months of 1917 should be regarded as an impermanent revolution. The months that followed became the "dress rehearsal" for the Civil Wars. With nothing decided in February, duels surrounding many of the same issues that would later be decided on the battlefield raged across Petrograd and the rapidly collapsing empire, albeit in a more peaceable and choreographed manner than would be the case when October came around. For now, it would just be mobs and troops heckling the new Petrograd Soviet and Provisional Government as they contested to outdo each other in this dual power struggle.
