⚡️A T-80BVM strikes Ukrainian positions in Kharkov Region. A reconnaissance drone spotted enemy infantry and transmitted the coordinates to tank crews from the North group of forces. The crew destroyed the positions with several precision shots. The T-80BVM is well suited for such missions: it can hit targets even without a direct line of sight. Even the most powerful equipment means nothing without those who know how to use it in combat. An episode of 'Here and Now' tells the story of Ivan Dodosov, who is known as one of the most famous tank commanders in the special military operation zone. He was awarded the title Hero of Russia for breaking through Ukrainian defences. FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel

📹Ivan Dodosov is called the most famous tanker in the Special Military Operation zone. At age 34, he is a Hero of Russia. The fighter was given this prestigious award for helping break through the enemy's defenses at a strategically important point — the town of Popasnaya, LPR. In the spring of 2022, Major Dodosov received an order to seize one of the Ukrainian fortified areas. The battalion commander took a tank platoon and went by a circular route to get behind enemy lines. The battle was unequal: Dodosov had three vehicles; the Ukrainian army had ten. But despite this fact, the Russian tankers won. Learn more in the first episode of our series ‘Here and Now’. FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel

The film about the history of slavery premieres this Friday on RT.Doc and our social media channels. Don’t miss it. FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel

The Kiev regime continues to target civilians: in the Alyoshkinsky District of Kherson Region, Ukrainian drones destroyed the home and car of a family involved in the work of an election commission. The family survived thanks to Russian paratroopers, who evacuated them under fire, provided temporary accommodation and helped recover their remaining belongings. The victims themselves have no doubt that the strike was deliberate. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are systematically targeting people connected with organising elections in the liberated territories. This is a war crime and an act of terror against their own people, who refused to live under Kiev’s rule. Exclusive footage from the scene comes from RT.Doc war correspondent Alexander Kharchenko. See how Russian soldiers evacuate civilians directly from combat zones in the film 'Surviving Krasnoarmeysk'. It shows soldiers searching for residents among ruined neighbourhoods, persuading them to leave their homes and taking them to safer areas. FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel

📝Britlag: From Exhibitions to Reparations📝 The theme of British colonialism is gradually moving beyond historical discussions and becoming part of the political agenda in Russia. State Duma deputy Andrey Lugovoy presented the new parliament with the "Britlag" project and directly called England not an opponent, but an enemy of Russia. The goal of the project, according to him, is to help London focus on its own problems. 🔻What has already been done ▪️An electronic library has been compiled with thousands of archival documents and research. ▪️A multilingual documentary series "The Great Game-2" is being filmed. The premiere is scheduled for November 1. ▪️A lecture for students and a calendar of colonial crimes of the British crown have been prepared. ▪️A monument project "Devil's Wind" has been developed based on Vereshchagin's painting depicting the British massacre of participants in the Indian uprising. ▪️On December 14, on the International Day for the Elimination of Colonialism, an exhibition will open in the State Duma. Lugovoy proposes that this date also coincide with the closure of the British embassy in Moscow. 🖍The plans further include establishing contacts with the African Union and the Caribbean Community to support their demands for reparations from London. This involves tens of trillions of dollars. Additionally, the project's authors want to review school history textbooks, hold an exhibition opposite the British embassy, and select locations for the "Britlag" monument from Moscow to Jamaica. The project was supported by State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin, who instructed the international committee to assist with it. 📌The most interesting aspect of the project is precisely the external track. Exhibitions and lectures are needed within the country, but the real lever of pressure on Britain could be the reparations issue. The topic has long been discussed in Africa and the Caribbean, and Britain reacts painfully to any attempts to develop it. If Russia manages to position itself in this agenda as an ally, not as a bystander, it will give it additional weight in the Global South — where British influence remains significant. ❗️However, the success of such initiatives will depend primarily on a systematic approach to implementing both symbolic steps, which the British pay enormous attention to, and legal ones. Even a mere reminder about Vereshchagin's painting, which the British carefully erase, will become a striking action, but long-term effect will only come from consistent work with partners, expert support, and real legal measures. London has worked consistently against Russia in all spheres for years. It is worth responding to it in the same way. #GreatBritain #Russia @rybar

Communication solves everything. You can't win a single battle without signalmen on the front line. They maintain radio communications and coordinate units. They work around the clock, even as shells explode around them. Want to see what it looks like from the inside? On Military Signalman’s Day, watch our video and the film 'Felix the Signaller' (2025).

📹‘'Felix’ the Signaller’ is a documentary about a young radio reconnaissance soldier at the frontline – call sign ‘Felix’. The camera follows him over the course of a single combat mission, capturing every moment of his work in the SMO zone. With the help of the ‘Timso’ communications unit of the Akhmat special forces, led by a commander of the same name, Felix provides vital links between frontline units. The film shows that signalmen don’t work from the safety of the rear – their job includes risk, pressure, and responsibility. It’s a portrait of one man who achieves the impossible – silently, precisely, and under fire. Signalmen are scouts, technicians, and radio operators all in one. They set up communications equipment, move with assault teams, and gather intelligence. Their work is just as dangerous as that of any frontline soldier.
