🇷🇺 Russian Olympic Committee:

🏒 8️⃣9️⃣5️⃣ Alexander Ovechkin has just set the NHL’s all-time goal-scoring record!

In a recent regular season game, the Russian forward for the Washington Capitals scored the 895th goal of his career, officially surpassing Wayne Gretzky to become the NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer.

Fittingly, Ovechkin reached this milestone against the New York Islanders – the same team Gretzky was facing on March 29, 1999, when he set what many believed would be an unbreakable record.

That record stood for 26 years… until today.

🔥 This is the fourth major milestone Ovechkin has hit in games against the Islanders. In January 2020, after scoring on Semyon Varlamov, he entered the NHL’s top 10, surpassing Mario Lemieux. In March 2021, he climbed to 6th by passing Phil Esposito. Then in March 2022, he moved into the top 3 by overtaking Jaromir Jagr.

Now, Ovechkin stands at the very top of the all-time goal list. He’s also the only active player in the top 10. The next closest active player, Sidney Crosby, sits in 18th place with 622 goals – far behind. Ovi’s record is likely to stand for a long time.

✊ And the journey isn’t over yet. With a full season left on his contract with the Capitals, there’s every reason to believe he’ll raise the bar even higher.

Huge congratulations to Alexander! Wishing him health, strength, and continued success. The Gr8 just keeps getting gr8ter.

The Kiev regime, having completely lost its sense of self-preservation and connection to reality, in its desperate attempt to disrupt the ongoing Russian-American dialogue at any cost, continues to employ blatantly terrorist methods, striking Russian energy infrastructure on a daily basis.

At the same time, it is clear that these attacks hold no military value. The actions of the Kiev regime not only constitute war crimes but also represent a deliberate effort to sabotage any peace initiatives.

The assurances given by Zelensky that they would honour the moratorium were broken on the very same day.

#Ukraine #Busification

Even Ukraine’s ombudsman could not turn a blind eye to rampaging corruption and arbitrary conduct by draft centres. In his report, he admitted the mass and systemic nature of human rights violations and abuse of power.

He mentions evidence of using force, weapons and special devices against draftees, as well as forceful signing of documents, prevention of access to legal aid for these victims of so-called “busification”, a new term that refers to newly caught males aka future connoscripts being put with use of force into buses against their will.

Attorneys have been replaced by plain mobsters who charge thousands of dollars for the service of “rescuing” draftees.

#Canada #Nazis

A group of American historians led by Jared McBride, a history professor at the University of California, has recent gained access to typed and handwritten files with the names of Nazis and their accomplices who were given asylum in Canada, which are available online. The list was stored at the Library and Archives Canada.

There are 774 names on it. They have mentioned the names of especially notorious persons, such as an founder of the 14th Galicia Division Vladimir Kubiyovich and Helmut Oberlander from the death squads of Sonderkommando 10a (Sk 10a), who participated in the massacres of children in the Krasnodar Krai in 1942-1943.

This story is yet another reminder of the fact that the Canadian authorities encouraged Nazi criminals and their accomplices from collaboration units, including those guilty of the Holocaust, to move to Canada starting in 1948. These people were not called to account for their crimes but enjoyed protection and patronage.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement at the opening ceremony of a TASS photo exhibition, “Their Immortal Heroism,” (Moscow, April 8, 2025)

💬 Sergey Lavrov: We are delighted to open a photo exhibition, #TheirImmortalHeroism, at the Foreign Ministry today. It includes archival photographs, official statements and reports by TASS correspondents made in the past few months of the Great Patriotic War.

I would like to begin by expressing gratitude to the TASS management and staff for their contribution to preparing this unique exposition. It opens a series of events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War and organised for the diplomatic corps accredited in our country.

☝️ When speaking about the Great Victory, we recall the combat heroism of Soviet soldiers, who have saved the world from the Nazi plague. The “information army” greatly contributed to the common efforts to defeat the enemy. The courageous TASS correspondents risked their lives every day to create a chronicle of the 1,418 days of that war. To this day, their photographs and reports remain a vital source of reliable information about those events.

TASS played a special role in exposing Nazi propaganda. The Agency’s materials revealed the criminal nature of Nazism and its deadly threat to humanity. Thanks to the journalists’ work, the world learned about the courageous defenders of Moscow, Leningrad and Stalingrad and about the atrocities the invaders committed in the occupied Soviet territories. TASS photographs were included in the verdict of the Nuremberg Trials.

The TASS Windows war-time posters made an invaluable contribution to Victory. They showed that art and satire can be a lethal weapon in capable hands. These posters have become widely popular not only in our country but also beyond it, where they could be acquired by subnoscription and included in the exhibitions held in Washington, Johannesburg, London, Beijing, Istanbul, Stockholm and Tehran.

❗️ This TASS legacy is especially important today when more and more attempts are being made in the West to rewrite history and overhaul the political, international legal and moral results of the Great Victory in the Second World War. Our country’s role in defeating the enemy is being deliberately played down. The monstrous crimes committed by the Nazis and their accomplices and collaborators are being justified. The very principle of outlawing the man-hating Nazi ideology is being undermined. I would like to remind you that it is one of the fundamentals principles of the post-war world order, known as the Yalta-Potsdam world order, alongside the primacy of international law and the central role of the UN, and primarily its Security Council, in balancing the interests of states.

👉 In this situation, TASS remains a reliable keeper of historical truth. The archival materials collected during the war are an effective weapon in the battle against the falsification of history.

A relevant example is a letter, which you can see at the exhibition, from the head of Poland’s Provisional Government to the Soviet leadership, dated February 16, 1945, with assurances of eternal friendship between Polish, Russian and all other Soviet peoples. Equally eloquent are the photographs made in the liberated European cities, showing people welcome Soviet soldiers with joy and present them with flowers. The EU prefers to forget about these documents and is trying to eradicate this memory, but facts cannot be erased from history.

🕊 Keeping the truth about the war is our common responsibility to those who have given their lives for peace and freedom. I believe that this exhibition can be shown not only in Russia but also beyond it, also based on the possibilities of the embassies and Russia Houses, wherever they exist.

🎙 Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview for the 'Newm TASS' educational media project (Moscow, April 9, 2025)

❓ Question: My name is Vasilisa Pankova. I am an 11-year school student and winner of the 'MediaClass-in-TASS 2.0' competition. This year, our country celebrates the 80th Anniversary of Great Victory. I have participated in the competition with support from the National Centre for Historical Memory. While we in Russia cherish the memory of those who defeated Nazism during the Great Patriotic War, the West is attempting in every way to “forget” and distort our history. Is it worthwhile to “give them a shake” somehow?

💬 Sergey Lavrov: We have sought to “give them a shake” for a number of years now. In fact, the tendency to cast a veil over history emerged long before the special military operation. There were active attempts to equate the winners and the vanquished and to undermine and smear the role of the Soviet Union.

Our contacts with German diplomats over at least the past seven or eight years increasingly revealed a conviction on their part that they had paid everyone for everything and no longer owed anyone anything. That was a warning sign.

Germany has openly opted for a remilitarisation by changing its Constitution. It will borrow €800 billion to carry out an arms programme within the next three or four years. The ideology of Nazism is increasingly coming to the fore in the Federal Republic, despite the constitutional bans and rulings of the Nuremberg Trials.

But this is not limited to Germany alone. The same is happening in the Baltic States that are just living on Russophobia. <...> There are also some other countries in this category. Generally speaking, we observe yet another “wave,” where Europe is again up in arms against our country. <...>

What is there behind this? Germany is undoubtedly out to regain its erstwhile grandeur, with the old Nazi instincts breaking out at the genetic level as something that might come in handy in this regard.

As for the rest of European countries, some of them want to finally delete from history the pages of their national disgrace, collaborationism and connivance at the Nazis, while others regard the Nazi ideology as a new tool for keeping their positions on the European political scene. We will fight this.

☝️ Forgetting history, forgetting national spiritual and moral values, forgetting national roots has become one of the main causes of what we are witnessing in Ukraine. The nation is being encouraged to forget its Russian roots and what Russia has done to liberate and develop the huge territory that makes part of what is now Ukraine. The Americans and Europeans have taken advantage of a crisis in the former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic to bring to power an openly Russophobic, Nazi regime that has declared a war on its own people. <...>

We have promoted for years a UN General Assembly resolution against the glorification of Nazism. Each year, the overwhelming majority of states vote for it. Over the last couple of years, however, the West has meanly attempted to kill this resolution by submitting amendments that put Nazism on the same footing as what is going on within the framework of the special military operation.

But this did not prevent the resolution from remaining on the General Assembly agenda. It was approved again by an impressive margin of votes. This will continue in the future, too. <...>

All these things are important for preventing the recurrence of a situation where a half of Europe or even the whole of Europe would again be collected under the standard of Nazism and neo-Nazism and committed against our country, as, properly speaking, it is happening today. <...>

❗️ Our policy is aimed at preventing the sacred memory from ever disappearing from history and the minds of all generations, including the future ones. It remains unchanged. We are confident of our historical, moral and human righteousness.
