What happened in Russia after October 1917 had caught Lenin and his Bolsheviks by surprise. – Robert Service	added by anonymous 2 months ago
Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. – Hermann Goering	added by Normando 5 months ago
Today the world saw that the bosses of Russia do not control anything, nothing at all. Complete chaos. Complete absence of any predictability. – Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine	Found on New York Times 10 months ago
Belarus ’ sovereignty is evaporating very fast, any sphere you take, Russia’s control has become extremely big and it’s increasing. – Pavel Slunkin	Found on New York Times 10 months ago
We are now ringing all the bells about the deployment of nuclear weapons, which ensures Russia’s presence in Belarus for many years to come. – Svetlana Tikhanovskaya	Found on New York Times 10 months ago
Some of the biggest national security questions facing the country run through Piketon and Kemmerer, a Post-Soviet dealAmerican reliance on foreign enriched uranium echoes its competitive disadvantages on microchips and the critical minerals used to make electric batteries — two essential components of the global energy transition.But in the case of uranium enrichment, United States once had an advantage and chose to give it up.In the 1950s, as the nuclear era began in earnest, Piketon became the site of one of two enormous enrichment facilities in the Ohio River Valley region, where a process called gaseous diffusion was used.Meanwhile, the Soviet Union developed centrifuges in a secret program, relying on a team of German physicists and engineers captured toward the end of World War II. Its centrifuges proved to be 20 times as energy efficient as gaseous diffusion. By the end of the Cold War, United States and Russia had roughly equal enrichment capacities, but huge differences in the cost of production.In 1993, Washington and Moscow signed an agreement, dubbed Megatons to Megawatts, in which United States purchased and imported much of Russia’s enormous glut of weapons-grade uranium, which United States then downgraded to use in power plants. This provided the U.S. with cheap fuel and Moscow with cash, and was seen as a de-escalatory gesture.But it also destroyed the profitability of America’s inefficient enrichment facilities, which were eventually shuttered. Then, instead of investing in upgraded centrifuges in United States, successive administrations kept buying from Russia.ImageA mural celebrates Piketon’s gaseous diffusion plant, long ago shuttered, and United States role in the local economy.Credit... Brian Kaiser for The New York TimesImageIn the lobby at Piketon plant, a miniature display of new centrifuges.Credit... Brian Kaiser for The New York TimesThe centrifuge plant in Piketon, operated by Centrus Energy, occupies a corner of the site of the old gaseous diffusion facility. Building United States to United States full potential would create thousands of jobs, according to Centrus Energy. And it could produce the kinds of enriched uranium needed in both current and new-age nuclear plants.Lacking Piketon’s output, plants like TerraPower’s would have to look to foreign producers, like France, that might be a more politically acceptable and reliable supplier than Russia, but would also be more expensive.TerraPower sees itself as integral to phasing out climate-warming fossil fuels in electricity. Its reactor would include a sodium-based battery that would allow the plant to ramp up electricity production on demand, offsetting fluctuations in wind or solar production elsewhere.It is part of the energy transition that coal-country senators like Mr. Manchin and John Barrasso, a Wyoming Republican, are keen to fix as they eye nuclear replacements for lost coal jobs and revenue. While Mr. Manchin in particular has complicated the Biden administration’s efforts to quicken the transition away from fossil fuels, he also pushed back against colleagues, mostly Democrats, who are skeptical of nuclear power’s role in that transition, partly because of the radioactive waste it creates. – Jeff Navin	Found on New York Times 10 months ago
Russia continues to pay severely for its war of choice, unlike Ukrainian forces, who are highly motivated to fight for their country, to fight for their freedom, their democracy and their way of life, the Russians lack of leadership, they lack will, the morale is poor, and the discipline is eroding. – Mark Milley	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Putin has repeatedly referred to Russia as a ‘nuclear power’ as well as ‘nuclear superpower’ since being elected to the post [of] president of Russia in 2000. Such references did not stop when Trump came to power and they continued after Trump left the White House. – Simon Saradzhyan	Found on CNN 1 year ago
The other fear we all should have is the grouping and the growth of China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, we should not ignore that. – Speaker McCarthy	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I want Russia and other nations to know the truth. I don’t want war and bloodshed. You see I’m holding a cigarette in this hand. I followed orders with this hand and killed children. – Azamat Uldarov	Found on CNN 1 year ago
In the same fashion as how China mediated between Iran and Saudi Arabia, we want China to use that influence to urge Russia to end its war in Ukraine. – Annalena Baerbock	Found on CNN 1 year ago
That’s a responsibility that I think the global community expects Russia to bear, this is something we’re discussing with our partners, but there are legal constraints on what we can do with frozen Russian assets. – Janet Yellen	Found on CNN 1 year ago
This is happening in the context of Russia trying to carve its own sphere of influence in Africa. – Mvemba Phezo Dizolele	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I cannot exclude that there is the motivation for that. We know that Navalny was definitely poisoned with Novichok by none other than the state of Russia. We know that he went back to Russia against the wishes of Putin, and, of course, now from within jail, Navalny continues to essentially ridicule Putin in the war effort by being a very vocal opponent of the war. So of course there is the motivation. – Christo Grozev	Found on CNN 1 year ago
We call for the Russian Federation to immediately release Mr. Gershkovich, we also call on Russia to release wrongfully detained U.S. citizen Paul Whelan. – Paul Whelan	Found on CNN 1 year ago
In my own mind, there’s no doubt that he’s being wrongfully detained by Russia, which is exactly what I said to Foreign Minister Lavrov when I spoke to him over the weekend, but I want to make sure that as always, because there is a formal process, that we go through it and we will, and I expect that to be to be completed soon. – Antony Blinken	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Russia is looking for any way to seize the information initiative, to try to influence the scenario plans for Ukraine’s counteroffensive, to raise doubts, compromise previous ideas and frighten with their ‘awareness.’ But these are just standard elements of the Russian intelligence’s operational game and nothing more. It has nothing to do with Ukraine’s real plans. – Mykhailo Podolyak	Found on CNN 1 year ago
These scoundrels not only openly wish defeat for Russia and the destruction of our homeland, but they are now executing their own compatriots. – Dmitry Medvedev	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Drag him by his ears back to Russia and put him up against the wall. – Vladimir Soloviev	Found on CNN 1 year ago
The President will go to China, not to question the Chinese red lines – notably the refusal to condemn Russia – but to find a space to be able to carry initiatives that have a useful effect for the benefit of the Ukrainian population, and then create a way to identify a solution to this war in the medium term. – An Elysee source on Friday	Found on CNN 1 year ago
The Russian Ministry of Defense did not acknowledge it, they did not talk about it in their regular coverage, and (the bloggers) suddenly went from being this small group that was covering nationalist topics and Russian conflicts worldwide to becoming the source of information in Russia. – Kateryna Stepanenko	Found on CNN 1 year ago
They have set a steady diet of pro-war, anti-West, anti-Ukrainian propaganda to the hard right elements of Russia for many years now. And they have, in many ways, popularized the Wagner group brand and the Russian way of war. – Candace Rondeaux	Found on CNN 1 year ago
One tends to think that Putin is this diabolical man who controls all the things inside and outside of the Kremlin. That’s kind of true. He definitely has a lot of power over state agencies. He has a lot of power over business enterprises throughout the country and therefore the wealth of the country, but there’s something deeper here. Russia’s oligarchy, its mafia class and its security class have started to fuse to the point where you cannot untangle them from each other and they need each other. – Candace Rondeaux	Found on CNN 1 year ago
They are the only ones that are explicitly saying ‘we need this war to survive. We need this war to continue to restore the greatness of Russian Empire,’ they have a very strong ideological mindset. They see Russia as a victorious state in this conflict. And their goal is for Russia to win and conquer all of Ukraine, and even potentially fight with NATO. – Kateryna Stepanenko	Found on CNN 1 year ago
