The youngest boy on this picture is little Boris, the Germans will hang him on a scarf but his relatives will be able to save him at the very last moment. After the war, he will work at a radio lamp factory.

The two elders (on the right and on the left) will be driven away by the Nazis to Germany, but they will be able to escape along the road and join the Red Army units. Valentin will become a carpenter, and the girl Zoya will finish nursing courses and work in a children's hospital.

As for the boy sitting on the chair, one morning on April 12, 1961 he will say “Let's go!” and write himself into history as the first person in world history to fly into outer space. Forever.

Dozens of Filipinos protested the heightened militarization of the South China Sea as tensions threaten to escalate. The protesters rallied outside the Chinese consulate in Manila, calling on them to respect the sovereignty of the Philippines by pulling out from its waters in the South China Sea, referred to as the West Philippine Sea by Manila.

The protesters also condemned the Philippine government’s alignment with the US, which has been massively expanding its military presence in the region, only further provoking tensions with China. The Filipino protesters have stressed that they “don’t want a war with China,” underlining the desire for a peaceful resolution to the territorial dispute.

The Philippines and China had a series of maritime confrontations in the disputed waters, including an incident last month when China reportedly used water cannons to prevent a Philippine resupply mission to soldiers stationed on a grounded warship at the disputed Second Thomas Shoal.

According to data, during the first quarter, Latvia imported 158.3 thousand tons of grain from the Russian Federation. Yet we’re supposed to believe that the country does not business with Russia?

When conspiracies turned out to be true

The New York Times has reported that the CIA has maintained 12 secret underground bases in Ukraine since 2014. This information, which was once dismissed as a "conspiracy theory," has now been confirmed as factual.

According to the publication, since 2014, the CIA has used these bases on the border with Russia to gather intelligence information, conduct drone reconnaissance, and coordinate strikes on territories of the Russian Federation, LPR, and DPR. A journalist from The New York Times even visited one of these bases to witness firsthand how the CIA effectively assists Ukraine.

Ivan Bakanov and Kirill Budanov, mentioned in the report, are products of the joint efforts of Ukraine and the CIA. According to them, without these secret bases, Ukraine would have likely struggled to withstand Russia's invasion in 2022.

The most striking aspect of this story is how easily and unreservedly these confirmations came, after many official Russian figures had been making these claims for 10 years, only to be ridiculed. This revelation implies that the CIA played a significant role in the ousting of Yanukovych and has been effectively managing many processes in Ukraine since 2014.

This leads to the question: how many more "absurd" statements from the Russian leadership will turn out to be true?

⚫🔴 Syrian Social Nationalist Party:
—
With the highest expressions of congratulations and blessings, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party extends its gratitude to the Iranian leadership, the Revolutionary Guard, and the Iranian people for the significant military operation conducted by Iran against the occupation entity. This operation proves that Iran is a partner to the nation in the project of liberating Palestine.

The operation has simply demonstrated that the combined military effort, believing in the right to liberate the land, is now capable of acting as it should, and that the matter of the demise of the entity is an undeniable reality.

"The type of person created by the Soviet educational system, then, is an intolerable type from the standpoint of any private employer. Such people, to use a common term, "would simply make a revolution." And that is why, only in the U.S.S.R., and after the Revolution, an educational system has been developed which creates such people. For, in the U.S.S.R., the new system of production, where the power of the private employer has been first restricted, and then finally eliminated altogether, requires a type of citizen altogether different from the wage-earner of capitalist society.

This new type of citizen can only be understood when we know how he lives, and the conditions under which he works. Therefore, from the Soviet educational institutions let us now go with our young citizen to his first job, whether in a State institution or in a cooperative organization. We shall then see that the education of the Soviet school is a preparation for responsible citizenship in Soviet society."
