‘Then [in 2014] Lugansk plunged completely into full-scale war.’
Rodion Miroshnik (LPR Representative at Donbass Peace Talks) recalls events eight years ago. First, Lugansk refused to recognise the coup d'état in the country; in response, the Ukrainians took up a blockade. For two months, the city lived practically without electricity and communications. Even the water was cut off. The referendum on the region’s independence took place in the context of an attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. More than 96% of voters were in favour of sovereignty.
Today, the LNR celebrates Republic Day with the status of a republic recognised by Russia for the first time. A flag was hoisted solemnly over the city. Russian singers Denis Maidanov, Rodion Gazmanov and Alexander Sklyar, performed in the centre of Lugansk.
For an account of the events of 2014 and how Kiev tried to subdue the region by force, see an excerpt from the documentary Donbass War: Summer 2014.

'My father needed cows, not me'.
These are the words of 13-year-old Kristina from Tanzania. Her father sold her to an older man to get a cow. The tradition is still widespread in Tanzania. Families live in poverty and find it difficult to feed themselves. So for a 13-year–old bride, her parents receive a rich dowry - almost a herd of cows. But the Tanzanian government is cracking down on this custom.
Watch Kristina’s heartbreaking story. You can learn more about this tradition in our film Bride Trade.

‘When I woke up, I was undressed and had a headache. I asked him what had happened? He said he’d done what he wanted to do with me!’, confesses Emily, a 17-year-old Congolese girl.
Her traumatic experience is familiar to many women in the Congo. Daily, they face abuse on the streets and at home. Harassment in the country is not recognised as something terrible. There are no shelters for victims of sexual violence in the Congo. The police don’t help. Therefore, people seek protection from sorcerers.
The girls are given a supposedly magical ritual of breast reduction to look less feminine. It consists of blows to the chest with a ‘fufu’ stick and cuts with a razor blade. The women think such cruelty will save them from violence. But does this solve the problem? Watch our video.
Find out what it’s like to be a girl in the Congo, caught between the threat of rape and painful rituals. Don’t miss the premiere of Congo’s Hell for Girls.

A couple from India sued their son and his wife for not having children. They were required to have a child within a year or pay compensation of 50 million rupees (about $650,000).
‘Despite all efforts, our son and his wife caused us moral damage by depriving us of our grandchildren. Society asks us questions about this, causing additional suffering’, said parents.
They paid for the son’s wedding and honeymoon, bought them a car and a house, and paid for education. But still haven’t seen any grandchildren in six years.
Did you know that parents still arrange more than 70% of marriages in India? Newlyweds marrying for love can be beaten, kidnapped and even killed as parents’ revenge. Learn more about the specialities of Indian family customs in our film Love Commandos.

‘We’ll protect our homes no matter what, in any way we can’.
With these slogans, militia movements in the Donbass were formed. Today the DNR celebrates Constitution Day. The residents have paid for it in blood, for the right to live in their land and speak their language. The Constitution was adopted during fierce fighting with the Ukrainian army. Many deputies went to the front immediately after the meeting.
Our video shows footage of a rally where people were ready to give their lives to secede from Ukraine. This was the beginning of the militia movement in the DNR. Scary, but the words of those who were there turned out to be prophetic.
This is a fragment of the film Maidan: Road to War. It was filmed from 2014 to 2022; the directors pieced together the course of events of the last eight years.

‘The crowd surrounded the car. There were more than a dozen of them. The driver was dragged out of the car. They tore the door off and smashed the windows’.
Trucking company owner Sergey Gots tells how his drivers are treated in the EU. It is now dangerous on European roads if the truck has a Russian number or symbols. Glasses are broken, wheels are punctured, and awnings and bodywork are slashed. Nevertheless, Russian truckers are trying to stick together to have time to come to each other's rescue. Watch yourself in our video.
Many Russians in the West now face russophobia. Russian students are underestimated in European universities, and private and state-owned companies are firing Russians from their jobs. Those speaking Russian can be insulted or even hit. In schools, children are subjected to public censure. See for yourself in the RT Documentary film Russians Cancelled.

Sri Lankan Mahindi Siri is 40 and a former soldier. He lost his leg 13 years ago when a mine blew him up during a battle in the country’s north. Then there was a civil war with Tamil separatists that ended in 2009. Today, the ex-soldier is forced to count every rupee to survive. Prices have risen sharply, and long queues line up for fuel from early morning.
The country is facing an acute economic crisis, in which anti-Russian sanctions have played a part. As a result, riots broke out in Colombo, Sri Lanka’s largest city. Protesters smashed houses and cars and threw sticks and stones at the police. They responded with water cannon and tear gas. As a result of street clashes, nine people were killed, including two police officers, and more than 240 were injured.
Mahindi Siri was one of the protesters. His story will be included in a new RT Documentary film about what is happening in Sri Lanka.

‘If I never go to international competitions... I won’t be very upset. It is much more important for me that people in the Donbass can finally live a normal life,’ says world powerlifting champion Maryana Naumova.
Maryana supports the residents of Donbass. She has been there over 20 times. In 2015, the athlete gave the ex-Governor of California Arnold
Schwarzenegger letters from children from the DPR and LPR. ‘I saw that the assistant somehow took this letter and dragged it somewhere. How it went on, I don’t know, ‘recalls Maryana. The girl says Schwarzenegger apparently never read a single message.
Maryana reminded him of these letters a couple of months ago when she recorded a video message in response to his speech on the situation in Ukraine. She said the actor was mistaken: ‘Nazism has no nationality’, ‘Russophobia is no better than anti-Semitism’.
