The triumph of socialism. 77 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the USSR and the PRC 🇨🇳👨‍🦳 On October 2, 1949, the Soviet Union was the first to recognize the People's Republic of China, on the day after its formation. The people of China won socialism in the struggle against the Japanese occupiers, the Kuomintang reaction and foreign capital. The USSR, possessing the colossal authority of the victor over Nazi Germany, extended a hand of help to China: Soviet specialists built factories, transferred technologies and helped restore the economy after decades of war. In the 1950s socialism was more popular than ever and won victory after victory — from Eastern Europe to Asia. 🇺🇸⚔️ But then ideological and political contradictions led to tension and a split in the socialist camp. This was immediately exploited by the imperialists led by the United States: playing on disagreements, they weakened and set socialist countries against one another. 🛠 Today, 77 years later, the conclusion is obvious: socialists must be able to negotiate and cooperate. Only unity and solidarity will bring back the triumph that the 1950s were. #SOVINTERN_DATE #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🥫 Cola instead of water. PepsiCo invests $1 billion in Colombia’s economy. 🇨🇴 The ultra-right populist Abelardo de la Espriella announced that the well-known North American food transnational corporation is investing huge money in Colombia's economy. It will be directed towards the development and modernization of production, market expansion and, as the leadership of the capitalist giant assures, will support the production of 2,000 local farmers. 📈 Colombia is the third-largest market for the PepsiCo corporation, and market expansion will allow the producer of extremely harmful sugary soda to expand its presence in the local market. In the poor states of Mexico, the expansion of the Coca-Cola company, for example, led to water costing more than sugary soda. Very quickly this affected the health of the nation: the consumption of cheap sugar led to almost 40% of Mexico's adult population suffering from obesity. Naturally, this problem has already spread to children. 💀 The problem of obesity in Colombia is also gaining momentum. At present, every fourth adult suffers from this disease. The expansion of the American transnational corporation's market under the pretext of economic growth will soon affect the health of the entire nation. However, the right cares far less about people than about figures and money. That is why for corporations trading in sweet poison, their doors are always open.

🇨🇺 Cuba has two allies — the sea and the sun. The Island of Freedom has almost brought the share of total electricity generation from solar to a quarter 🇨🇺 President Miguel Díaz-Canel stated on air that Cuba has brought its solar electricity generation to 21.4% of total output. Today, 144 photovoltaic stations with a total capacity of 1418 MW operate on the Island of Freedom, while the capacity of Cuba's entire energy generation system is 6713 MW. Overall, solar energy already constitutes an extremely significant share of Cuban energy: all thanks to emergency support measures from the PRC. 🗓 The National Plan for Economic and Social Development until 2030 envisages that 37% of the country's energy supply should come from renewable sources, mainly solar. Given the US energy blockade, which puts Cuba's survival at risk, the pace of solar energy development has increased. A considerable role is played by the bet on decentralizing the system: private individuals rely on the sun's energy, and local pumping stations and communication nodes are also being converted to it. Thus, the consequences of rolling blackouts become less severe at least for part of the population. 👔 Of course, the capacities of Cuban solar power plants are still insufficient to overcome the energy crisis, but the direction of development of local energy increasingly resembles that of several Central American neighbours: Costa Rica, Belize and some others, whose energy systems are almost entirely built on renewables. As long as the sun shines over Cuba, socialism will not go out! #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

The Nuremberg Trials. Or What Western Double Standards Looked Like ⛓ On October 1, 1946, the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg delivered its verdict on the chief leaders of Nazi Germany. But far from all were punished. Many criminals never appeared before the court at all, or their punitive operations were carefully concealed by Western elites, and by the end of the 1950s most of the convicted who had escaped execution had already been released. ❗️ With the onset of the Cold War, yesterday's Nazi criminal turned out to be less dangerous for many Western states than a communist. In the FRG, Italy and other countries, former Nazis returned to the state apparatus. Yesterday's war criminal and murderer proved a perfectly acceptable ally if today he was ready to continue fighting against the USSR and communism. ❗️ Franz-Josef Strauss, who served in the Wehrmacht, became West German Defence Minister in 1956. Former Wehrmacht officer Hans Speidel headed NATO's land forces in Central Europe, and American intelligence services recruited former employees of German military intelligence. This also includes Wernher von Braun, a member of the NSDAP and the SS, whom the US took away after the war and later made one of the heads of the American space programme and chief designer of the Saturn V that delivered Americans to the Moon. Especially vile is the story of Waldheim — a former Wehrmacht officer who headed the UN for two terms. His Nazi past became widely known only in 1986, although documents about his crimes had been in the hands of Western authorities all that time. The executioner was allowed to represent the world community and speak of peace — as long as he remained convenient in the political struggle against communism. ❗️ This is how post-war duplicity looked. The Soviet Union bore the main burden of the war against Nazism, paying for victory with millions of lives. And a few years later in the West, yesterday's Nazi cadres were being restored in state structures, because now their chief merit was hatred of communism. #SOVINTERN_DATE #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

The rifle gives birth to power. The US prepares to confiscate oil from seized tankers bound for China 🌟🛳️ Three tankers with Iranian oil were seized by the US Navy in April and June in the Indian Ocean and are currently heading towards American shores. On board they carry about 4 million barrels of oil with a total value of up to $600 million. Almost certainly the cargo was bound for China, which is the largest buyer of Iranian oil, receiving up to 1.2 million barrels daily in circumvention of sanctions. Now Washington intends to confiscate this oil as a «war prize», for which it is ready to revive a naval prize court from the time of the American Civil War. 🧑‍⚖️🇺🇸 American «justice» has always considered itself above international law. The US will try Nicolás Maduro — the president of sovereign Venezuela, kidnapped by American military in Caracas and taken to New York. He is charged with narcoterrorism — a verdict Washington has pronounced against an entire country. The US believes it can unilaterally impose sanctions, invade foreign territory, execute and try politicians of other states. 🔫🤩 This is not justice, but piracy on a state scale. And the response will not be merely diplomatic. China and Iran are already developing mechanisms to protect their cargoes. The unipolar world is coming to an end, and Washington itself is accelerating this process. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_North_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

«They are inhumane. All of this is for money» 🏠 Maricarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old Spanish citizen, lived in her Madrid apartment for about 71 years. In 1956 her parents moved in there, and after their death the leasehold right passed to her. The building's new owner, the company Urbagestión, secured the termination of the contract: instead of the previous rent, the woman was assigned an unaffordable fivefold price, far exceeding her pension. Several times public activists thwarted police attempts to evict Abascal from the apartment; however, on September 23 Maricarmen was finally deprived of her home. That day the woman was carried out of the apartment on a stretcher and taken to hospital. As compensation, the city hall offered her a temporary place in municipal housing. «I lived here for 71 years. My father and mother died here, and I thought I would stay here until the end. I could not defend my home, but I fought so that others would learn to fight for theirs», — Abascal commented. However, her story is far from an isolated case. In the first three months of 2026 alone, 4,005 people were forcibly evicted in Spain — an average of about 44 cases a day. In 2025 there were 24,540 such evictions, and almost three quarters were linked to non-payment of rent. ❗️ Maricarmen's story became the embodiment of the housing crisis in Spain; after what happened, hundreds of people took to the streets in protest. According to Abascal, the legal battle over her home lasted seven years: «They are inhuman. You cannot force a person to live for seven years with an axe at their neck… Everything for money». In the end Urbagestión relented and returned Maricarmen's home — but only after the story gained wide public resonance and began to threaten the company's reputation. The sinister thing is the very fact that an elderly person can simply be deprived of their home, with no regard for either health or age. Such is the price of human life set by the Spanish capitalists. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

«In general, only the left parties lost — we and the CPRF. The party of power gained the most. This means that Russia is rapidly moving left. Only it itself does not quite understand this. The party of power can, with its resource of power, present itself as socialist, but it is not. And the next 5 years of work will put everything in its place. Therefore, despite the result, I consider the outcome of the elections to be in favour of socialism», — believes Aleksandr Vorobyov, a State Duma deputy elected from the A JUST RUSSIA party and regional coordinator of the Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN. ‼️ It is particularly worth noting that, despite the ongoing conflict, Russia is doing everything possible to realize the right to vote for all citizens, which cannot be said of neighbouring Ukraine, which Western politicians present as the showcase of a «fighting democracy». Zelenskyy's powers expired long ago, and the upcoming elections to the Verkhovna Rada were simply cancelled. Moreover, Kiev did everything possible to hinder the holding of the Duma elections both in the new territories and in the deep rear of Russia. These terrorist attacks, which claimed the lives of several people, were publicly condemned by SOVINTERN's regional coordinators. They arrived in Russia as international observers and noted the high level of organization of the process, its transparency and its technological sophistication. 🔥 Although the results require the leadership of A Just Russia to do work on its mistakes, the outcomes are still positive. A Just Russia will continue its active struggle for the interests of the working people in Russia and against imperialism beyond its borders, shoulder to shoulder with comrades from SOVINTERN. ¡Venceremos! #SOVINTERN_NET #Moscow_hub ⭐️Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🟨ELECTIONS 2026. Despite all difficulties, A Just Russia enters parliament based on the election results 🇷🇺 From September 18 to 20, elections to the State Duma, the lower house of the country's parliament, were held in Russia. These elections took place in a unique historical setting. Russia is in a state of hybrid conflict with NATO, whose vanguard is Ukraine. The internal situation is also far from ideal: inflation is not stopping, housing and utilities issues are becoming more acute, and the process of generational change in power is looming ever closer on the horizon. That is why the ability of political forces to find a common language with young people is playing an ever greater role. «The past elections showed that all political parties in Russia, without exception, are going to the voter, fulfilling the grand demand for justice in society. But only in our party are these issues resolved systematically on a serious scientific basis, with the substantiation of the economic foundation for achieving the goals of justice. It is no coincidence, again, that all the parties participating in the elections borrowed this or that programme provision from us. We don't mind, as long as there is a result… Speaking of young people, it is important for them to build an understandable image of a just future — with the opportunity to earn, start a family, solve the housing problem, etc. All this is impossible without a radical change of the economic course in our country. We will fight for this. I call on young people not to wait for changes, but to fight together with us for our common present and future», — with this appeal, one of SOVINTERN's chief ideologues and a comrade of our International Socialist Network, Nikolai Novichkov, addressed the younger generation. 📁 In these elections, SOVINTERN's founding party, A Just Russia, received 5.34% of the votes — 2.12% less than at the end of the previous electoral cycle. On the eve of the elections, a veritable black propaganda campaign was launched against the party. The national-conservatives from the LDPR and their hired bloggers spread mystifications about the state of health of the party chairman, Sergey Mironov, and actively fed the press rumours that the party would not pass the 5% threshold. However, despite the pressure and an extremely tense struggle for votes, A Just Russia entered the composition of the new convocation of the State Duma of the Russian Federation and will continue to fight for the interests of the working people as part of the opposition. Of course, the loss of 600,000 votes in real terms must be analysed, and the conclusions must form the basis for updating the current strategy.

❤️🇨🇭How to get off scot-free? Learn from the Swiss 🔠 On September 27, the Swiss rejected the initiative to enshrine the principle of neutrality more firmly in the Constitution: 70.15% voted against. However, there is a small nuance: turnout was only 47.06%. Moreover, according to the assessment of SOVINTERN comrade, director of the «Anna Seghers» Research Centre and member of the Communist Party of Switzerland, Davide Rossi, liberal and social-democratic forces had for a long time been convincing citizens of the referendum's minor significance, effectively achieving not only a vote against the initiative but also the passivity of its supporters. The decision, presented as nationwide, does not at all reflect the opinion of the country's population. «Switzerland has decided not to defend its neutrality, but to place itself at the service of the military policy of NATO and the European Union», — stated Comrade Rossi. Moreover, Bern has long shown open hypocrisy towards countries it dislikes, pursuing a policy clearly incompatible with neutrality: the introduction of sanctions against Russia, holding military exercises with NATO, expanding military cooperation with the EU. Yet the collective West continues stubbornly to uphold Switzerland's supposedly neutral status. «Swiss communists will continue to speak out for peace, national sovereignty and non-alignment, calling for an end to the wars the West is waging against Russia and Iran, and counting on cooperation with the countries of the Global South in building a multipolar future», — concluded Comrade Rossi. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

The victors are not judged. Taiwan accuses Washington of distorting history ⭐🇹🇼 The Taiwanese authorities were outraged that the allied relationship between the United States and China during the Second World War was mentioned at a meeting between the US and Chinese leaders. Taiwan, as the political heir to the Kuomintang, continues to cultivate the historical dispute between the Republic and the Communist Party. The Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) stated that: «It was the Republic of China [the Kuomintang — Ed.] that fought shoulder to shoulder with the United States», while the Communist Party of China allegedly followed the formula: «seven parts development, two parts confrontation, one part resistance». 🛩 Taiwan’s representative in the United States even demonstratively displayed photographs of the «Flying Tigers», seeking to prove that it was the Kuomintang that had fought the war. 🇨🇳🇯🇵 Yet this is a deliberate falsification. All of China fought against Japan: from 1937, the Red Army was reorganised into the Eighth Route Army, while guerrilla forces became the New Fourth Army. According to the Central Institute of Party History, from 1938 the anti-Japanese rear areas led by the CPC tied down between 58% and 75% of Japanese forces, while more than 125,000 armed engagements were fought in total. 🛠🇺🇸 The United States is no stranger to distorting history — for decades it has downplayed the USSR’s contribution to victory. In this case, however, it is Taiwan itself that is falsifying the past — not out of a desire to restore historical justice, but out of an unwillingness to move closer to Beijing. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

👨 The African Stalin. Samora Machel's Birthday 🇲🇿 The leader of the Mozambican Revolution had more in common with the Soviet «leader of the peoples» than an unbreakable will and a stern character. His life began in the impoverished province of Gaza in the Portuguese colony. He initially intended to become a priest and even studied at a seminary, but he was never destined to graduate. He later worked as a nurse amid extreme poverty — it was during this period that he became acquainted with Marxism and soon joined Mozambique’s liberation movement, which went down in history under the name FRELIMO. ⚔️ Machel was an outstanding organiser and orator, and together with his initiative and determination, these qualities quickly made him a leader of what was then still a relatively small organisation. He underwent military training in Algeria, established a guerrilla training centre in Tanzania and, after the death of FRELIMO founder Eduardo Mondlane, took his place in 1970. 👊👦 Drawing on the strategy of an armed people previously employed by Mao Zedong and Ernesto Che Guevara, Samora Machel succeeded in driving the Portuguese colonialists from his land. FRELIMO enjoyed the support of the overwhelming majority of the population, exhausted by humiliating Portuguese rule. Every village and every street became a source of danger for the colonial forces. The war, which had continued since 1963, drained Lisbon and broke its will to resist. 🆓 In 1975, Mozambique gained independence, carried out land redistribution among the peasantry under Machel’s leadership and embarked on the path of socialist modernisation. Yet the neighbouring apartheid regime in South Africa was deeply afraid of an uprising by the indigenous population and therefore did everything possible to suppress national liberation movements both within and along its borders. 🔸 Despite the enemy’s superiority in organisation and weaponry, Samora Machel turned life into a nightmare for South African racists. He supported guerrilla fronts in Zimbabwe and South Africa, supplying and training them on Mozambican territory. Alas, after one of his visits to Zambia, the Mozambican leader was killed in an air crash. South African security services were almost certainly involved in what happened. 🔗 Although the fiery revolutionary was killed, he left behind a rich legacy: agrarian reform, an independent Mozambique and an enormous contribution to the liberation of the whole of southern Africa from apartheid. #SOVINTERN_date #Hub_Sub_Saharan_Africa ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

Nothing is made for people. Housing, energy and normal infrastructure can wait — geopolitical ambitions cannot ❗️In modern Britain, the authorities paradoxically often take on high-profile projects but fail at elementary tasks. The energy infrastructure cannot withstand the new loads; because of connection problems, even large-scale projects in the field of AI are being delayed. 315 data centres are waiting for grid connections, which in total require roughly 1.6 times more electricity than the whole country consumes during peak demand hours. And to heat London, the authorities propose transporting hot water along the river on electric barges. Apparently, building pipes for their own capital is harder than following others' ambitions. 🧣 In parallel, money for social projects is for some reason becoming less, while London consistently increases defence spending. From 2027, Britain intends to spend 2.5% of GDP on defence — £13.4 billion a year more than the current level — while the current social system reform programme is to cut spending by £1.9 billion. The result is a telling ordering of priorities: citizens are asked to be patient while the state invests indecent sums in military infrastructure that guarantees security for who knows whom. ❗️ Britain is already a military power, but the authorities continue to bend over backwards, building up military capabilities for the sake of foreign-policy ambitions, even though the state is failing at its basic tasks: a good life for the population is becoming a privilege. It seems the British government finds it easier to prepare resources, including human ones, for someone else's war than to care for its citizens. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🤎 His Voice Will Never Be Erased. Victor Jara's Birthday 🇨🇱 On September 28, 1932, one of the main voices of the peoples of Latin America was born into a Chilean peasant family — Víctor Jara. If his short but incredibly bright life could be folded into a formula, it would be the slogan «to create and to fight». 🇨🇱 Not being an artist with connections, he was always drawn to music, and that is why his songs and poems came from the very heart. At the age of 25 he learned to play the guitar and began to carry his truth about the life of the common man, about the peoples' struggle for socialism. He joined the Communist Party and actively spoke out in support of Salvador Allende's Popular Front. But Jara was not only a communist, the voice of the Chilean working class, but also one of the greatest artists, whose melodies contained motifs of indigenous peoples and immortalized their place in the chronicle of fighting Latin America. 🔫 When Pinochet's thugs carried out their coup, Víctor Jara was target number 2 for them, right after President Salvador Allende, because he was the author of the people's anthem Venceremos, which still inspires millions of people to struggle. Víctor was one of the tens of thousands tortured at the Santiago stadium. But even under torture Jara did not abandon his comrades. History has preserved his last words. «The blood of President Allende beats stronger than bombs and bullets. Our fists will strike again». This is exactly what the creative intelligentsia of socialism looks like. #SOVINTERN_DATE #SOVINTERN_ACHIEVMENTS #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

Pax mongolica. Following the precepts of Genghis Khan 🇺🇳🇲🇳 On September 23, at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh called for reforming the international security system, drawing inspiration from the experience of the Pax Mongolica — the «Mongol peace» of the 13th–14th centuries. In his words, Genghis Khan's empire laid the foundations of diplomacy, postal communication, safe trade and religious tolerance, becoming the prototype of modern globalization. Khürelsükh proposed replacing «multipolarity», which leads to schism, with «multi-anchoring» — respect for cultural and civilizational diversity. 📦📖🏇 However, this project has a fundamental limitation. The Pax Mongolica rested not only on postal stations and religious tolerance. Its foundation was iron discipline, unity of command and the overwhelming military superiority of the Mongol army — from the decimal organization of troops to the Yasa code with the harshest punishments for disobedience. Peace in Eurasia was then achieved not through negotiations, but through conquest. In the modern world, such conditions do not exist and cannot exist. ❗️ It is no shame to look for reference points in the past — but any workable security mechanisms will have to be built not in the image and likeness of imperial order, but on the basis of the real balance of forces and interests that exist today. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

Military hysteria is marching across Europe. Preparation for conflict is becoming the everyday norm 🚨 European states are increasingly preparing not only citizens, but also civilian infrastructure for a possible military conflict. In Germany, scenarios for the mass intake of wounded into civilian hospitals are being rehearsed: military calculations proceed from the need to receive up to 1,000 casualties per day. In Norway, the healthcare system has been obliged to prepare to accommodate 7,000 wounded — both military and civilian. ❗️ In parallel, the European Commission recommends that states ensure the population's ability to manage on its own without critical products, including water, for at least 72 hours. Poland is already directing around 4.8% of GDP to defence — a record volume for the country, accompanied by large-scale rearmament and the development of defence production. Who pays for these expenditures, of course, is the people. 📣 Authorities whose legitimacy comes precisely from the people increasingly prefer not to hear its demands and concerns. Military hysteria is becoming part of Europeans' everyday way of life. People are gradually being accustomed to living in a state of constant anxiety. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

What has fallen is lost. Syria's president complains of Israeli aggression and the occupation of the Golan Heights 🇸🇾🇮🇱On September 23, Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa spoke at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, demanding the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Syrian territory and stating that the Golan will remain Syrian land. He accused Israel of 500 airstrikes and the detention of 300 Syrians since Assad's fall in 2024. 🔫🚀 However, it is necessary to understand the context of Damascus's claims. The western part of the Golan was occupied back in 1967 and annexed in 1981. But the buffer zone and the summit of Mount Hermon were occupied already after the change of power in Damascus in December 2024. 🇺🇳📈 At the same time, the local Druze — 30,000 people — have become massively disillusioned with Syria during the long civil war. After Hezbollah's strike on a Druze village in 2024 and the massacre in Sweida in 2025, carried out by al-Sharaa's own forces, many began obtaining Israeli passports. Young Druze do not wish to return to being part of Syria, where the standard of living is lower. Any aggression by Israel leading to the annexation of territories of sovereign states strikes at the stability and security of Western Asia and must not remain without an answer. However, is it worth trying to return territories against the will of the local inhabitants, or is it better to claim only the losses of 2024? The choice is for the Syrian leadership. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

You have the right to remain silent. A Hollywood star was detained in New York at a protest against Netanyahu 📷😇 A few hours before Netanyahu's speech at the UN General Assembly, New York police detained more than 100 participants in a pro-Palestinian action. Among them were Susan Sarandon, Cynthia Nixon and Chelsea Manning. Formally — for «blocking traffic». In reality — for criticizing a Washington ally too loudly at an inconvenient moment. 🤐🇺🇸 That is the whole of American «freedom of speech»: stay silent and you are free, say the wrong thing and you are arrested.

🌎 True to thier principles. Sergey Lavrov confirmed the firmness of Russia's position on the situation in Latin America in his address to the UN GA 🗣 In his speech, the Russian Foreign Minister touched on the region twice. He supported the kidnapped president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and called for the immediate lifting of the North American energy blockade on Cuba. These two most outrageous examples of the Northern Empire's interference in the affairs of Latin America cannot be silently accepted by Russia. 🇷🇺 In recent years, Moscow has lost many regional partners while trying to maintain neutrality on issues of the domestic politics of Latin American countries. Suffice it to recall Argentina's refusal to join BRICS or the very recent accession of the Mesoamerican trio to a statement condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine. Russia's positions and its development along the Global South vector are supported only by local left-wing parties that place sovereignty above all. Russia's attempts to establish dialogue with right-wing regimes will always be limited by the will of the American purses that control them. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

Citizens are not cannon fodder! German youth took to rallies across the country against the authorities' decisions ‼️ On September 25, tens of thousands of schoolchildren and students took to the streets in around 100 German cities against the possible return of compulsory military service. According to the «School Strike Against Conscription» movement, which organized the actions, more than 45,000 people took part. This is already the fourth nationwide wave of protests since discussion of the new military course began. Slogans on the streets included «We will not fight in your wars», «Not our war» and «Russia is not our enemy». 🔥 Berlin, meanwhile, continues to restructure the country onto a war footing. Since January 2026, 18-year-old men are obliged to fill out questionnaires on their readiness for service, and from July 2027 a compulsory medical commission is being introduced for men of that age. And if there are not enough volunteers to serve, the Bundestag has provided for the possibility of returning compulsory conscription, with the goal of creating an army of up to 800,000 personnel. The Bundeswehr has already summoned almost 1,000 young people for medical examinations, including those who declared an unwillingness to serve. The authorities of democratic and free Germany are offering their young people an interesting choice: join the army of your own volition or wait until you are conscripted by force. ❗️ It is curious that such a situation is unfolding against the backdrop of a political crisis of confidence: Merz's approval rating is hitting rock bottom and support for his course is noticeably weakening, while in local elections support for progressive forces is growing ever more visibly. The government is increasing military spending, simultaneously cutting social benefits and ever more insistently demanding preparation for someone else's war, while a significant part of society, especially the youth, clearly has no burning desire to become expendable material for this policy, which reflects only the interests of the ruling elites. ❗️ Berlin has already been down this road: militarization, rearmament, compulsory service and the cultivation of the image of an external enemy in the 1930s became part of the country's preparation for the greatest catastrophe of the 20th century. However, it seems that German youth, who are being asked to pay with their lives for others' ambitions, clearly see this historical parallel and refuse such a fate. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
