Der sozialdemokratische @vorwaerts vom 12. Mai 1915: "Durch schnöden Vertragsbruch hat der russische Zarismus dies slawische Volk vor zwei Jahrhunderten unter seine Gewalt gezwungen..." #Ukraine
Zum Geburtstag von Taras Schewtschenko (9. März 1814)
Der Redakteur Franz Diederich berichtete in einem langen Artikel 1915 im "Vorwärts", dass zaristische Soldaten 1914 in Galizien und der Bukowina nach Tschewtschenkos Gedichtsammlung "Kobsar" in Buchhandlungen suchen.
@fasc1nate This is what Tartarin de Tarascon in the novel with the same title (1872) was looking for. Bigmouth Tartarin went to North Africa for hunting lions. #Tartarin
Since 1991, Russia has had a seat at the U.N. illegally. It is the only participating country that has neither signed the organization’s 1945 founding Charter nor ever been voted a member by the General Assembly. Instead, its place in the U.N. is the result of a tacit consent that has lasted more than three decades.
According to Article 4 of the U.N. Charter, new member states must be admitted by a vote of the General Assembly. But Russia avoided this by claiming to continue the membership formerly held by the USSR. Moscow simply changed the nameplates from “USSR” to “Russia Federation” and hoped the world would look past it.
When it comes to U.N. membership, only Russia has gotten away with tacit rather than formal consent to take the place of its predecessor.
Russia’s illegitimate presence in the U.N.—and even worse, as a permanent member of the Security Council—has had disastrous consequences. It exploits the U.N. both as a platform for its propaganda and to block via veto power any attempts by the international community to counter its predatory behavior.
This has to stop. Please consider signing the petition to kick Russia out of the UN: https://t.co/4B1fx5wJBq

@Streitschuster@BBarucker Gut, Frau @Streitschuster, dass Sie mit Fakten dagegenhalten, aber Sie füttern einen Schwurbler: vorgestern noch Wildnispädagoge, gestern Coronafachmann und heute Nahostexperte. Alles ohne Studium. Der Hobby-Bastler kann weder Quellen auswerten noch Fakten checken.
"Zwischen 1941 und 1989 wurde in der Moldauischen Sowjetrepublik die Sprache sogar mit kyrillischen Buchstaben geschrieben, um klarzumachen, dass sie eben nicht mit dem Rumänischen gleichzusetzen sei." https://t.co/eQ8XVw4IQG via @tazgezwitscher#Kolonialismus#Moldau#Rumänisch
