🇷🇺☦️ - Controversy erupted in Russia after an Orthodox priest blessed a monument to Joseph Stalin in the town of Velikye Luki.

Stalin persecuted the Russian Orthodox Church during the first half of his tenure as the Soviet Union's leader, killing thousands of Christians. However, he is seen in a positive light by many Russians - a recent opinion poll found that Joseph Stalin and Nicholas II, the last Tsar, were the only two 20th-century leaders who Russians had a positive impression of.

⚡🇪🇬 🇹🇷 Something interesting happened in Egypt, and I do not know how to explain it.

A Journalist who belongs to an allegedly neutral but publicly thought to be a Muslim Brotherhood founded journal on Twitter and Facebook and other mass media has two posts it published deleted, then they posted a photo saying their staff and sites are under cyber attacks.

Then, they come with some 6 tweet long post stating that one of their most active journalists has been arrested, the story goes that masked men came to their home, trashed it, stole his phone, kidnapped him, and now no one knows where he is.

The journal is shocked because it stated, by its own admission, that the identity of the journalists and the staff were kept a secret, yet now their journalists and staff are being hunted down like dogs in Egypt and everyone has went to hiding.

Whether they're being funded, are neutral, or the story they published, or the likes, is not of my interest, I am interested in how that information got leaked to the Egyptian government.

My educated yet unproven and schizophrenic guess is that Turkey leaked the information to Egypt.

The Journal has many associates and even a few related office buildings in Istanbul, and although they claim they never got state fundings, who knows, considering Turkey has been a refugee for Anti Regime figures, they probably thought it's safe to set up shop there.

Whether the information was given to Turkish officials (if true) was obtained willingly by cooperation, or surveillance, or any other method, and was then leaked to Egypt, I don't know, there could've been a myriad of ways.

But one thing for sure.

Anti Regime figures are not safe, not in Turkey, and maybe soon not even in the U.K, it's enough they've detained 50 members of the MB, they've refused to extend the visa or asylum of others, etc... The media of these people complaining makes you pity them, almost.
