From Bohdan
Irreconcilable differences following the ruzzian invasion of Ukraine are not going away even if there are talks between Ukraine and ruzzia.
The ruzzian invasion was not the act of a small group, it was the act of ruzzia and ruzzia bears responsibility. So what is ruzzia? Besides all of its people, including artists, historians, physicists, priests, dancers, musicians, garbagemen, and all of its professions including thieves, ruzzia is also a set of historical, political, social and other acts that made it what it is today.
Pushkin is part of Putin as much as Catherine the Great is part of Lermontov. There is no separation.
Ukraine's refusal to be exterminated and its assertion of the right to self-defense includes expunging whatever remnants of ruzzia it chooses. Including dismantling monuments to Lenin and Pushkin. It also includes the right to take back that which was stolen including Gogol and Ayvazovsky.
Ukraine's rights are under constant attack by ruzzia. Ruzzia says yes we attacked but we were defending ourselves. Ruzzia says yes we attacked but the attack has nothing to do with ruzzian athletes, artists, and business. If this narrative is accepted, then eventually ruzzia will whittle responsibility for the invasions down to a lieutenant in Vladivostok.
Unfortunately, many believe these lies.
“Russia’s Top Talent Fleeing to Other Countries”/”ShareAmerica”
This is one Russian failure that Tim Ash failed to include, in his recent article entitled “So Much Winning by Putin,” the historically large brain drain that Russia has experienced since its latest invasion of Ukraine, that the Washington Post called “a tidal wave on scale with emigration following the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution and the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991.” Some excerpts:
· About 1 million Russians have left since 2022, including an estimated 100,000 IT specialists who comprise 10% of the technology sector.
· Russian citizens who migrated to Armenia and Georgia cited three reasons for leaving, in order of importance, during interviews (PDF, 1MB) Harvard University conducted November 2022 and January 2023:
· A repressive political climate.
· Russia’s war against Ukraine.
· Mobilization of men for military service.
The average age of migrants in both nations who were interviewed was early 30s.
· An exodus began in 2020. Many Russians left for greater economic opportunities or because they were disillusioned with the corruption and political repression, said John Herbst, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. He co-authored a 2019 study about Russia’s brain drain (PDF, 4MB), surveying 400 Russian emigres living in Europe and the United States.
“It was and is a serious brain drain,” Herbst said. “Those who left are by and large more educated and more enterprising. That is a net loss for the Russian economy.”
It should be remembered that in the late 1980s the CIA completely missed the collapse of the Soviet economy, predicting instead that the Soviet economy would continue to grow. Today, the same thing may be happening, namely the West underestimating the damage that sanctions are doing to Russia, the losses Russia is taking in Ukraine, and the brain drain. Instead, we keep hearing that that the Russian economy has adjusted to international sanctions and continues to grow.
The one million Russians who have left Russia since 2022 appear to think otherwise, and they are voting with their feet. More importantly, those 1 million Russians will continue to contribute to a major long-term decline of the Russian economy.
News From the Battlefield
“Defense in Depth”- Dominic Nicholls/The Telegraph
The subject is the increased importance that armies are placing on force protection. As evidenced by the data on Oryx, a site that monitors Russian and Ukrainian equipment losses, Ukraine is doing a much better job at force protection than is Russia. Even though Ukraine is on offense, Oryx shows that their equipment losses are much greater than Russia’s. However, in Ukraine case force protection results in an offensive that is moving much more slowly than the pundits and newspapers of record would like to see.
Russia’s force protection seems to be non-existent, as evidenced by:
· The number of Russian general officers who have been killed.
· Moving their troops around, exposing them to Ukrainian strikes.
· Not sufficiently protecting Sevastopol.
· As indicated earlier, huge amount of equipment losses, even though the Russians are on defense.
His latest describes Ukraine’s effort of widening the salient around Robotyne, in order to protect from a Russian flank attack.
