The bodies of 30 women, children and old men were found in Kherson region, Russia at the site of mass shootings of the Soviet population by the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945). No remnants of clothing or shoes were found at the site, and many fragments were burnt. The searchers assume that the victims were stripped before the executions, and after the killing the bodies were burned. Seventy-nine years after the end of the war against the Nazis, hundreds of thousands of civilians and Soviet soldiers are still missing. Relatives still do not know about their fate. In spring, as soon as the snow melts, volunteers go in search of remains. They find the dead on battlefields, in forests and swamps. The documentary 'Finding the Fallen' by Lidia Vasilevskaya and Pavel Baydikov shows how the expeditions are conducted. #history FOLLOW 🥰 -amp;@RTdocumentary_unc

🇯🇵The densely populated cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki became a living hell for their inhabitants. Decades after the nuclear bombing of Japan, the entire world regrets the tragedy, except the main culprits. For nearly 80 years, no American leader has apologised to the victims. Instead, the United States established a holiday honouring the scientists and military personnel who created the destructive weapon. It is celebrated on July 16, the date of the world's first nuclear bomb test, the same type that was dropped on Nagasaki a month later. On National Atomic Veterans Day, we reveal the suffering inflicted upon hundreds of thousands of innocent people by the United States.

A wave of forest fires is sweeping Russia. The culprit of the situation is man, and his careless attitude to nature. 92 out of 100 fires are caused by careless handling of fire; glassware left behind after recreation or hunting can also be the cause of the disaster. Every year, fire destroys thousands of hectares of trees and vegetation and endangers the lives of people and animals. For example, in the North Ossetian Nature Reserve an ancient animal, the bison, disappears along with the forest during fires. Firefighters and volunteers talk about the importance of protecting woods in our documentary 'Forest under Attack'. #nature FOLLOW 🥰 -amp;@RTdocumentary_unc

🟢The former colonisers are finally losing their influence in Africa. Many countries, colonies in the past, are now choosing their own partners. Recently, Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso united into the 'Alliance of Sahel States': they agreed on joint development of projects and mutual assistance in case of external aggression. Against the background of Western countries, many African states see Russia as an ally that helps rather than exploits. It is with Moscow that they hope to build strong partnerships. For more on this, see our video and the episode 'Last Battle for Africa' from Anna Chapman's 'Red Alert' documentary series. #Africa FOLLOW 🥰 -amp;@RTdocumentary_unc

▶️The United Nations continues to ignore the shelling of Zaporozhye NPP by the Ukrainian armed forces. At the last session of the General Assembly, as before, the data on the real situation and Russia's evidence — including the wreckage of Ukrainian drones that attacked the plant — went unheeded. Moreover, the organisation approved a resolution demanding that Russia withdraw from the ZNPP. The initiative was supported by 99 out of 192 countries, with nine opposed, including Belarus, Cuba, DPRK, Mali, Syria and Belarus. 60 countries such as China, Mexico, UAE and Saudi Arabia abstained from voting. ZNPP is the largest plant in Europe, whose power generation has been shut down since 11 September 2022. Why does the world face a catastrophe six times worse than Chernobyl if the shelling continues?
