  1. 🇩🇪 Penny by penny: Germany rearms and Berlin proposes saving on families ❗️ The German authorities, led by Friedrich Merz, are proposing to cut family benefits while simultaneously increasing defence spending. The government is preparing to spend ever more on armaments, promising to meet NATO's 5% GDP target ahead of schedule. And families, whom the authorities themselves have driven into a vulnerable financial position by chasing vague ambitions, are being told to be patient. 😚 Priorities always exist. For Berlin, the priorities have become rearmament, confrontation with Russia and NATO's military ambitions. And it is proposed that the most vulnerable — children and ordinary families — pay for them. The state should create conditions for a normal life for its citizens and, above all, protect children, but the German authorities are persistently doing the opposite. 🚨 Otto von Bismarck, who laid the foundations of the German welfare state, would surely turn in his grave to see how today's German authorities are asking the population to pay for their military ambitions by cutting social support. Germany's economic problems did not arise because of children or family benefits. Yet it is they who are now being told to tighten their belts. Money is found for armaments, but for their own children, for some reason, savings have to be made. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  2. With the shield or on the shield? The «Shield of Achilles» hands Greek air defence to Israel and drags the country into military confrontation in Western Asia 🤩🇬🇷 On August 31, Israel and Greece signed the largest defence agreement in the history of their bilateral relations, worth €3 billion. The «Shield of Achilles» project creates a layered air defence system in Greece based on the Israeli «David's Sling», Barak MX and SPYDER systems. For the first time, Israel will supply another country with a complete set of protection against air threats — from ballistic missiles to drones. Tel Aviv is weaving Athens into its military infrastructure and creating a single operational theatre — from the Aegean to the Mediterranean. The agreement is part of Washington's broader strategy, which since 2025 has been promoting the «3+1» partnership: the United States, Israel, Greece and Cyprus. US congressmen have already allocated funding for the establishment of a joint maritime security training centre at the Greek base in Souda Bay. 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇮🇷 The confrontation between Israel and Turkey is intensifying after the victory of pro-Turkish forces in Syria. Cyprus and Greece are becoming a new arena of conflict: the «Shield of Achilles» is part of the strategy to contain Ankara in the Eastern Mediterranean. In essence, the West is preparing Turkey for the role of the «next Iran» — a country they want to encircle, weaken and drag into a conflict, using Greece and Cyprus as a staging ground. The imperialists are dragging more and more peoples into direct military confrontation — at others' expense and by others' hands. 👮‍♂️😇 There is only one way to oppose this: openly declare your position. The more people learn that the «Shield of Achilles» is not defence but capitulation, the fewer chances the imperialists have to push this deal through without resistance. Every voice against militarization is a step towards ensuring that Greece does not become a bargaining chip in someone else's game. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  3. 🇩🇪 Security, German-style: Berlin closes the Russian House ❗️ Germany has decided to denounce the agreement on the activities of the Russian House in Berlin. Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul explains this by «enhancing internal security» after the drone incident at Leipzig airport. The Kremlin categorically denies any involvement in the incident. Berlin has provided no evidence of Moscow's participation. According to the head of Rossotrudnichestvo, Igor Chaika, the German authorities are acting to the detriment of the interests of their own citizens, trying to destroy long-standing cultural ties with Russia. 🚨 What security can be spoken of here? The Russian House is a cultural venue, not a military facility. However, Europe long ago decided that anything connected with Russia poses a threat in itself: after 2022, Russian cultural centres ceased operating in a number of Western countries; in the Baltics and Poland, Soviet monuments and memorials were dismantled en masse; and European institutions cancelled performances by Russian artists and severed ties with Russian cultural organizations, as, for example, the Dutch Hermitage Amsterdam ended thirty years of cooperation with the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. All such actions are part of a broad political campaign directed against Russia. ❗️ Europe is openly refusing dialogue and pursuing a discriminatory policy merely because Russia is inconvenient to it. And if such a practice is permissible today with regard to Moscow, then tomorrow any other country may turn out to be «inconvenient». Yet by pushing Russia out of the cultural space, Europe is not becoming safer — it is becoming poorer, more closed and further removed from the possibility of normal dialogue. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  4. 🇷🇺 On September 2, 1945, Japan — the last ally of Nazi Germany — capitulated. On that day the Second World War came to an end. But the USSR and the United States took different paths to victory. ⭐️ A few weeks before the capitulation, Washington launched an atomic strike on Hiroshima, killing tens of thousands of people. Washington was not so much hastening the end of the war as demonstrating to the world, and especially to the USSR, what power it possessed. The atomic attack on Hiroshima became the herald of the beginning era of nuclear confrontation and the Cold War. Nevertheless, the United States did not limit itself to a single inhumane bombing: on August 9, just three days later, a second atomic strike was delivered on Nagasaki. By that time, the US already perfectly understood the consequences of using the new weapon, yet deliberately repeated that monstrous act against another peaceful city. 🛠 The Soviet Union, for its part, struck at Hirohito's war machine, not at the civilian population. On August 8, the USSR declared war on Japan, and already on August 9, Red Army soldiers were rapidly advancing in Manchuria and within days crushed the Kwantung Army. It was precisely the Soviet entry into the war and the swift defeat of the Japanese army that deprived Tokyo of the ability to continue resistance. #SOVINTERN_date #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  5. 💰 Capital disposes of your fate. Trump met over the weekend with an important Brazilian banker, André Esteves, at his golf club 🇧🇷 While fierce political battles for the presidency are raging in Brazil, the local capitalists are not sitting idle. A significant share of big Brazilian capital has ties to the United States. The major investor André Esteves is no exception. He simply came to play golf with Trump and, along the way, discussed the fate of his native country. The US press, which spread this information, naturally added numerous rumours and speculations, but the fact remains: it is precisely such meetings that often play an enormous role in the outcome of bourgeois elections, because any election is big money. ⚔️ The situation in Brazil is such that the right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro is losing ground. Despite huge cash injections, he cannot win the support of the majority of voters: his confidants are implicated in corruption schemes, he himself has repeatedly been caught making insulting remarks about working people, while the socialist Lula does not make such mistakes, playing a skilful game and manoeuvring among the wavering sections of the population. However, as Stalin said: «In bourgeois countries, what matters is not how people vote, but how the votes are counted», so the danger of interference by economic elites still exists, as shown by such backroom meetings with foreign politicians. Only a powerful popular mobilization, which prevented the elder Bolsonaro from carrying out a coup d'état in 2022, is capable of keeping Brazil on the path of sovereign and socialist development, which only Lula da Silva offers. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  6. 🇺🇬 Humanitarian aid, American-style 😄 The United States has delivered experimental MBP134 antibodies against Ebola to Uganda. The drug was developed by an American company with funds from BARDA, a structure of the US Department of Health, but in the United States itself it has not yet received FDA approval — the American agency responsible for the safety and market authorization of medicines. 🚨 It turns out that for the American market the drug is not yet sufficiently tested, yet it is acceptable to send it to Africa. Under the guise of humanitarian aid, the United States has turned Africa into a convenient testing ground for Western pharmaceuticals: here one can test drugs that have not yet passed the full verification cycle, obtain the most valuable clinical data and save tens of millions on large-scale trials. For the United States, the African has literally become a free guinea pig. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Sub_Saharan_Africa ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  7. 👨 The Second World War was unleashed by European capitalists. The Soviet Union tried to save the world 🇪🇺 In 2019, the European Parliament adopted a resolution equating Nazi Germany and the USSR, accusing both countries of unleashing the Second World War. This, however, has nothing to do with historical truth. The USSR tried in every possible way to stop the war, while Europe did everything so that Hitler would attack the USSR. 💯 Here are just a few facts: ⏺ in 1925, Britain and France concluded the Locarno Treaties, under which the security of the borders of Eastern European countries was not guaranteed; ⏺ in 1935, Germany restored universal military conscription, acquired a combat air force and a submarine fleet. Europe ignored this; ⏺ in 1936, the Nazis moved troops into the Rhineland. France and Britain remained silent; ⏺ in 1938, Germany occupied Austria — this was also turned a blind eye to. ⏺ The Munich Agreement was the final straw. In the autumn of 1938, France and Britain sold the territories of Czechoslovakia in exchange for Hitler's promise to calm down. This only convinced the Nazis of their complete impunity. 🇨🇳 The subsequent series of shameful defeats of Europe, which began on September 1, 1939, is a direct consequence of the policy of appeasing German Nazism. The Soviet Union twice called for an international conference to stop Germany, and in the spring of 1939 for a defensive alliance with France and Britain, but was ignored three times. Moscow wanted peace; Europe wanted war against Moscow at the hands of the Germans. 🤑 The main culprit in the outbreak of the Second World War is European capitalism. #SOVINTERN_teaches #Moscow_network_hub ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  8. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that Iran's economy could collapse within weeks or months due to the port blockade. US President Donald Trump has publicly announced the end of the war, victory or the imminent collapse of Iran 32 times. Maybe the issue is not the Iranian economy, but the quality of American intelligence? #SOVINTERN_meme #Hub_North_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  10. ⭐️ On August 31, 1925, the decree «On the Introduction of Universal Primary Education and the Construction of the School Network in the RSFSR» was adopted. Soviet power consistently turned education from a privilege of the few into a fundamental right of millions. 🇷🇺 In the 1960s, the USSR staked on mass education, whereas the Western model offered only the minimum necessary for the functioning of the system. UNESCO would later study the Soviet model of eradicating illiteracy as an example for developing countries. By 1985, with the assistance of the Soviet Union, educational and vocational centres had been established in 26 developing countries, and more than 1.7 million specialists and skilled workers had been trained in total. #SOVINTERN_date #Moscow_network_hub ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  11. Used and dumped. In Afghanistan, which until recently was a field of rivalry between great powers, about 4 million children are starving. 🇦🇫🥕 A country where 3.7 million children suffer from acute malnutrition and 14 million people face severe food shortages has simply been abandoned to die. And the main culprit is Washington. For two decades the United States built a puppet, corrupt regime in Afghanistan, pumped it with money and weapons, dragged the country into global confrontation, preventing it from developing peacefully. And when the geopolitical project collapsed, they abandoned the country, leaving behind devastation, an artificially created refugee problem and dependence on foreign handouts. 🇺🇳🇺🇸 Now Washington is finishing off Kabul for good: the Trump administration is cutting UN funding; of the requested $1.71 billion for humanitarian aid in 2026, only 10% has been allocated. Food aid funding has collapsed by 59% since 2022. More than 100 treatment centres for children with severe wasting have already been closed. The problem is aggravated by the fact that almost 6 million Afghans have been forcibly deported from neighbouring countries since 2023. Most of them have no jobs — up to 73% of returnees are left without means of subsistence. ☠️ Imperialism brings only misery and death. First Afghanistan was drawn into the great game, not allowed to develop, hooked on foreign aid, and now it is being cut off from its source of life. 45 million people are being cast adrift because the hegemon's «priorities have changed». #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  12. Recently, in a campaign video, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the left is a fascist threat and acts against democratic freedoms in Israel. «You must remember what Amalek did to you». With these words, in 2023, Netanyahu, tendentiously quoting the sacred text, sent off the Israeli army before the operation in Gaza. In effect, it was a call for a merciless massacre of the Palestinian population: «Now go and strike Amalek, and destroy all that they have, and do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and donkey». The fascist always seeks to accuse others of fascism in order to deflect suspicion from himself. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  13. 📆 On August 30, 1897, the First Zionist Congress was held under the leadership of Theodor Herzl, who believed that European antisemitism would not disappear and that the only solution was an independent Jewish state in Palestine. The Congress established the World Zionist Organization and adopted the Basel Program. Fifty-one years later, the project became a reality — at the cost of the Nakba, the expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians and the destruction of 400 villages. 🇮🇱🇵🇸 Zionism continues to bring chaos and destruction to West Asia to this day. Ideas built on national hostility cannot be just. Freedom for Palestine! #SOVINTERN_date #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

    🇪🇺 European elites, in pursuit of their ambitions, have driven themselves into a crisis — and now citizens will pay the price ❗️ Western elites themselves rejected Russian energy resources, increased military spending, and are now facing an investment shortage and problems in the gas market. Ahead of the heating season, EU storage facilities are only 63% full, compared with the normal level of around 80%, while Ursula von der Leyen is already proposing to “mobilize” citizens’ savings. She called the €10 trillion sitting in bank accounts “idle”: “Now Europe needs to make these savings work for our companies.” In other words, Europeans themselves are being asked to pay for the consequences of failed policies. 🚨 Against this backdrop, the position of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stands out in particular: The idea of a common European home has failed because Western powers are still trying to achieve dominance and refuse to acknowledge that there is an equal Russia next to them. It is simply impossible to have security and peace in Europe without Russia. Yes, Russia should be criticised when it makes mistakes, but Russia cannot be demonised and pushed out of Europe. But instead of listening to the voice of reason and reflecting on the consequences of its own policies, Europe continues to blindly follow Washington and its own absurd ambitions. It rejected Russian gas — and now faces energy risks; it recklessly created an investment deficit itself and is now eyeing the €10 trillion in its citizens’ savings. But Europe is free and democratic: citizens are free to keep their savings, while Brussels is free to decide how to spend them. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  15. ‼️ They fight communism because they are afraid of their own youth. According to a Cato / YouGov poll, more than 62% of young Americans choose socialism 🚫 Florida has passed a law requiring the teaching of the history of communism. Starting with the 2026–2027 school year, public schools must teach children about communist movements in the United States and the “crimes of communist regimes.” A similar initiative has appeared at the federal level: the House of Representatives approved a bill proposing the creation of educational materials for schools about the history of communism and its “dangers.” 😭 Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that communism would destroy the country within 2–3 years. He called communism the most serious threat to the United States. ... Trump called the communist system the most serious threat in the history of the United States. #SOVINTERN_meme #Hub_North_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  16. 🚨 But the man-eaters continue to hunt even those who have a deferment. The story of Kirill Bronov is indicative; its consequences fell upon a five-year-old child: according to the head of the kindergarten, the man was seized while he was on his way to pick up his five-year-old daughter: «He was shouting that his child was in kindergarten, that there was no one to pick the child up». As a result the girl was left without care; the headmistress temporarily took the child in. 👔 A more recent example is the story of Nina Tronenko, the mother of a 22-year-old with an incurable disease in remission, who, according to her, was taken at the railway station: «My son was seized… they took his personal belongings, his phone, brought him somewhere for a Military Medical Commission, forced him to sign some documents, and now he is somewhere unknown — I think at the Yavoriv training ground. [My son] was found unfit for military service in peacetime and partially fit in wartime». ❗️ Repeated cases with a fatal outcome are also reported. Nikolai Kovalchuk, the father of mobilized Sergei, recounted: «They took my son at 5 in the morning. First they brought him to the Baranovka TRC and then took him to another building. The guard unit was located there. After that he was diagnosed with bone fractures and a fracture of the base of the skull. He did not regain consciousness for three days. It is impossible to fall in such a way as to sustain such injuries. People say that my son was killed, that this is not the first case. My son suffered the most and died». The TRC denied the use of physical force and claimed that the man sustained the injuries as a result of an epileptic fit. ❗️ For the TRCs, citizens are not people, but cannon fodder for the needs of the state. And is this the very model of democracy that the European elites are offering? Is this, in their view, how the state should treat its citizens? Andy Burnham, speaking on the occasion of Independence Day in Kiev, promised to hand over technologies for the production of long-range missiles and to continue supporting Ukraine. Earlier, SOVINTERN comrade George Galloway said that Burnham had openly declared that Britain is now at war with Russia — a nuclear power — without anyone asking the opinion of the British people themselves. If such practice is permissible today with regard to Ukrainians, what precedent are the European elites setting for their own citizens? #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

    📣 «He was shouting that his child was in kindergarten, that there was no one to pick the child up» ❗️ A hunt for people is underway in Ukraine for the sake of the «mobilization resource». «Busification» is what Ukrainians themselves call forced mobilization, in which men are detained, subjected to brutal violence if they resist, and taken to the Territorial Recruitment Centres (TRCs) in minibuses. In this system a person ceases to be a person — he becomes expendable material in someone else's imperialist war. Vitaly Gorechan looked after his parents, Boris and Irina, every day on his own after they had suffered strokes: «This week, when they took our son away, seems like a real hell to us. He used to come and take care of us: he cooked, cleaned, bathed dad and looked after me. And what are we to do now? Die? Let them bring back our son, because he had a deferment». The state should work for the benefit of its citizens, not at their expense. 🚨 67% of Ukrainians do not trust the TRCs, and the Ukrainian Ombudsman received around 10,000 complaints between 2022 and 2025 about possible violations of rights during mobilization and the work of the TRCs. Hundreds of criminal cases have been opened against TRC employees over acts of violence and the illegal detention of persons. At the same time, according to the Ombudsman of the Kharkiv region, 98% of the violations committed by these man-eaters are ignored by law enforcement. That is why people, risking their health and freedom, are trying on their own to resist these mercenaries. The Kharkiv region is the absolute leader in the number of clashes with the man-hunters. Mass protests also took place in the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Poltava regions. People — mostly mothers, daughters, sisters and wives — blocked roads, stopped TRC vehicles, tried to free the detainees and prevent the forced delivery of their loved ones to the front. Witnesses reported the use of gas by police.

  18. 🇦🇲 Armenia finally abandons Russia and its sovereignty ❗️ The government of Nikol Pashinyan has approved Armenia's new government programme for 2026–2031, and it records a telling change: Russia is no longer named as Yerevan's strategic ally. Whereas the 2021–2026 programme characterised Armenian-Russian relations as «allied relations and strategic partnership» that should be strengthened and expanded, the new one speaks only of «transformation and deepening of partnership relations». Instead, the strategic emphasis in the new programme is placed on developing ties with the United States and the EU. In this way, Armenia is inevitably tying its own security to Western centres of power, which narrows the space for independent decisions. 🚨 Pashinyan explains this turn by the events of September 2022, when, in the prime minister's view, the CSTO did not provide due assistance to Armenia over Karabakh. Maria Zakharova recalled that, following Yerevan's appeal, the CSTO sent a mission to assess the situation precisely on Armenian territory, and that in November 2022 in Yerevan a draft decision on deploying a CSTO mission was prepared, providing for a deployment plan of the Collective Rapid Reaction Forces. According to Zakharova, Pashinyan refused to sign that decision. 📣 At the same time, Pashinyan himself said back in 2021 that the «strategic alliance» with Russia was one of the pillars of Armenia's security architecture, and stressed Moscow's role in ensuring the region's security. Now Yerevan is trying to shift responsibility for what happened onto the Kremlin and the CSTO. «For you, everyone is to blame. Only you are not to blame», — Zakharova commented on this stance. ❗️ This is no longer just about changing diplomatic wording. Armenia is systematically moving away from its former system of ties with Russia, and in its place comes a new architecture of relations focused on the United States and European states. Thus, in August 2026, Armenia and the United States signed a Charter on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The question now is what this turn will mean for the security and sovereignty of Armenia itself. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Moscow ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

  19. 🇰🇪 Freedom for Comrade Booker Omole! How imperialism is trying to strangle the revolutionary movement 😄 SOVINTERN comrade and Secretary General of the Communist Party of Kenya (CPMK), Booker Omole, is being prosecuted on charges related to the illegal possession of firearms, ammunition and drugs. According to the party and its Marxist League of Lawyers, this case is part of a broader political campaign against the revolutionary workers' movement. The next hearing in his case will take place on October 16, 2026, at the Mavoko court. 😚 At the same time, the case itself raises serious questions. The defence categorically disputes the circumstances of the seizure, documentation, storage and subsequent presentation of the key material evidence. Questions also arise regarding the actions of police officers: one of the police station chiefs summoned by the court failed to appear in response to the subpoena. Separately noted is the withdrawal of a key state witness and the initial complainant. Furthermore, Judge Nanzushi announced her recusal, citing a conflict of interest. All this, according to the defence, requires thorough scrutiny in court. 🚩 We share the position of our Kenyan comrades of the Marxist League of Lawyers: criminal prosecution is being used to pressure a political leader who opposes exploitation and Kenya's neocolonial dependence: «Political struggle is not a crime. Persecution of political organizations is not democracy. Intimidation of political leaders is not constitutionalism». Omole consistently fights against imperialist domination in Kenya: he opposes the military presence of foreign powers, demands the political and economic independence of the country and criticizes the degradation of the country's judicial system. ⭐️ SOVINTERN expresses its unconditional solidarity with Comrade Booker Omole. We demand a transparent and impartial consideration of the case and verification of all evidence. We call on progressive forces to follow the course of the proceedings. Political convictions must not be a crime! #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Sub_Saharan_Africa ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
