@TheodossiD Здравейте! Бих искала да попитам дали това е ваша снимка и, ако да, дали бих могла да я използвам като илюстрация в моя материал за българските избори, като посоча вашия ник.

I met one of the most conscientious and accepting priests while assisting @LucyAAsh with research for a book on the Russian Orthodox Church. Highly recommend it for a deeper look at Russia's turbulent religious history and its deep ties to the state!

Father Georgiy Edelstein, the conscience of the Orthodox Church, condemned Putin’s invasion from the outset: “We cannot close our eyes and call black, white, evil good, and say that Abel was probably wrong and provoked his older brother”. Read more here: https://t.co/X0lkHKgQag

«Пригожинский бунт», «мятеж», «Марш справедливости», «поход на Москву». Помните такой? Это событие произошло год назад и имело огромные последствия для его участников. Вплоть до летального исхода.... Коротко рассказываем, что стало с его главными действующими лицами. 1/30

Великий Тви, нужна помощь! Для спасения людей в Олешках нужны прямые контакты директоров аптек - РФ или Крым. В идеале - крупных аптечных сетей. У спасаемых - огромная потребность в лекарствах, а ближние аптеки все выгребли.

#OpEd All foreign journalists are potential fair game for Putin and the Russian security services, and it would appear that this rule applies not just to journalism but to everything happening in Russia from now on, argues Andrei Soldatov.

THREAD: How to verify images online?

Social media is awash with false or misleading images, some of which get millions of engagements.

So, here's a simple guide on ways you can quickly check the veracity of an image you see on your social media feeds.

@djandjava @risj_oxford Congrats, Andjela! So well deserved!

The first photo is of a Ukrainian boy from Kherson after the Russian occupation, taken by a Hungarian photographer András Hajdú.

The second photo is from a Soviet film "Come and See", directed by Elem Klimov, and it's about the horrors of German occupation of Belarus in WWII.

Stunning and devastating opening from Newsnight tonight.
Harsh, yes. Media students (and current broadcast journalists!) take note: your edit is nothing without the right choice of music. And oh boy this is quite the choice.

The Crimean Bridge has been hit, either by a missile or a sabotage attack. Strikes at the heart of Vladimir Putin’s prestige. He went to war to take Kyiv only to find that he can’t even protect Crimea. He’ll be looking for some way to respond.

Russia's technocrats have now made it super convenient to... get citizenship if you agree to go fight in the war in Ukraine. Sign a year-long contract with the army and you get fast-tracked for a passport. Best practices for the death cult

In which direction is Russia moving? Two events today provide a disturbing answer:
• Moscow court revokes the licence of respected independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta.
• Another Moscow court sentences former journalist Ivan Safronov to 22 years in prison for treason.

Wow. This is how #Russia 🇷🇺 is trying to attract people to go and live there. And no. It’s not satire.

Bulgaria expels 70 (!!!) Russian "diplomats" on espionage charges. This is half the Russian diplomatic presence in Bulgaria. https://t.co/vaqgj94Hz5

Pro-lifers in Russia. "Defend me now and I'd be able to defend you tomorrow." The irony (and tragedy) is dead on them.
