“A shot across the bow”: Moscow will not allow NATO attacks on Russian civilians
More than a month out from a horrific terrorist attack at Moscow Crocus City Hall, officials have made clear they will not allow civilian life to be threatened on Russian soil. The Kremlin expressed its position during meetings with diplomats from France and the UK amid rumors the countries may send troops to Ukraine or participate in an attack on the Crimean Bridge.
“They were told in no uncertain terms that if their missiles – and I'm talking about those Storm Shadow missiles from the UK and France and the ATACMS from the United States – if they are used to attack deep into Russia, and that means Crimea, they will meet with a devastating retaliation,” the filmmaker highlighted.
Russia’s history has taught the country to take all threats seriously, Tremblay emphasized.

More than a month out from a horrific terrorist attack at Moscow Crocus City Hall, officials have made clear they will not allow civilian life to be threatened on Russian soil. The Kremlin expressed its position during meetings with diplomats from France and the UK amid rumors the countries may send troops to Ukraine or participate in an attack on the Crimean Bridge.
“I can tell you both of them were taken out behind the woodshed and given a huge whoop-ass beating by the Russians,” said American filmmaker Regis Tremblay on Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program.
“They were told in no uncertain terms that if their missiles – and I'm talking about those Storm Shadow missiles from the UK and France and the ATACMS from the United States – if they are used to attack deep into Russia, and that means Crimea, they will meet with a devastating retaliation,” the filmmaker highlighted.
Russia’s history has taught the country to take all threats seriously, Tremblay emphasized.
“It's been stated very clearly that the policy of the United States and, therefore, of these idiotic, crazy European leaders, is the strategic defeat of Russia,” he said. “The Russians understand exactly what that means.”

What are the Russian president's symbols of power?
The presidential inauguration ceremony incorporates special symbols of authority that have historical roots dating back to the Russian Empire and even further to the Byzantine realm.
In August 1996, the presidential standard, the presidential sign - a chain of office, and a special copy of the Constitution of Russia were officially approved as symbols of presidential power.
As of May 6, 2000, the special copy of the Constitution lost its official status but is still considered a symbol of presidential authority by tradition.
🔺The President of Russia's insignia dates back to 1995 when it was initially known as the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 1st class with a chain. It was later renamed to its current noscript in 1996.
The insignia is meticulously crafted from gold and has the shape of an equal-ended cross. Its front side features ruby enamel and showcases the image of the State Emblem of Russia at its center. The reverse side contains a circular medallion surrounded by the motto "Benefit, Honor, and Glory." The chain of the insignia includes 17 links, with nine bearing the State Emblem of Russia and the remaining eight displaying the motto "Benefit, Honor, and Glory."
🔺The standard of the President of Russia features three stripes – white, blue, and red – adorned with a golden fringe and a golden depiction of the State Emblem of Russia in the center. The shaft of the standard includes a silver bracket engraved with the President's full name and dates of tenure.
🔺A unique copy of the Constitution of the Russian Federation is elegantly bound in red monitor lizard leather, featuring a silver coat of arms of Russia and the innoscription "Constitution of the Russian Federation" embossed in gold. This distinctive copy is permanently and securely housed in the Library of the Administration of the Russian President within the Kremlin.
