🇲🇽 Latin America has won! 🤩 Today Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva achieved a historic victory in the presidential elections, gaining more than 52% of the vote. He became the first candidate in the history of Brazil's modern democratic republic to surge ahead in the second round after trailing in the first. Although Bolsonaro junior was backed by the international oligarchy led by Trump, all the outsider candidates of the first round called for votes to go to him; for Lula the people truly rose up, and the people, as is well known, cannot be defeated. 🚩 Lula's victory is a huge credit of trust received by the president from the country's working people for his past merits and his current programme. But the leader of Brazil would not have defeated his oligarchic rival without two fundamentally important steps taken during the campaign: 1️⃣ A bet on the street — Lula won because the youth believed in him and took to the streets. Socialists, communists, anarchists, democrats — all the active and young filled the streets with Lula's name and banners. 2️⃣ The most active use of social media and the press. Connecting all the accumulated ties among stars, bloggers, journalists and activists in support of Lula turned social media into a battlefield where living people won a decisive victory over Bolsonaro's neural-network clownery. Even the TV debates, in the last of which Lula was helped by his working biography, were interesting because the story of the «Man with Nine Fingers» spread across social media. ✌ Although many challenges still lie before the re-elected president of Brazil, in particular the need to work with an openly hostile parliament, Lula has achieved a historic victory for the entire continent. Brazil is the undisputed regional leader, whose economy accounts for more than half of all the countries of South America. The peoples of other states look to it, it sets political trends. In recent years, the cascade effect of right-wing oligarchic regimes in Latin America could not be reversed by any force. This led to growing apathy among the peoples, to alienation from the political process. Brazil's success will give an impulse to the strengthening of left-wing sentiments in the region and, possibly, will lead to a renewal of the pool of progressive leaders. The next significant milestone is to topple the bloodsucker Milei from his pedestal and return the people's forces to power in Argentina in 2027. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🤩 At a meeting with bloggers, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated: «The main part of antisemitism in the West is the actions of Russian structures». ❗️ All that remains is to invent why Russia is to blame for Israel occupying Palestine for 75 years. And also for Israel perpetrating a genocide in Gaza. And for Netanyahu being tried for corruption. #SOVINTERN_MEME #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

Where it is thin, it breaks. Western elites are holding the lid on a boiling cauldron 🚨 European streets have not calmed down for several weeks now, yet instead of trying to understand the causes of popular discontent, the authorities preferred to suppress the protests by force. The bet is that the demonstrations will stop if the people are intimidated and a pretence is made that nothing happened. 🇫🇷🪖 On October 24, in France, the authorities deployed 70,000 police officers and gendarmes across the country. According to trade unions, 800,000 people took part in the actions. People demand measures against the rising cost of living and the deterioration of public services. The large-scale operation by the security forces did not relieve the tension, as clashes occurred in several cities in the evening. 🇮🇹 In Milan, the authorities sent 500 paratroopers of the «Folgore» brigade, and police carried out more than 150 searches in Milan, Monza and about twenty other cities. Against this backdrop, a rally was held in Rome under the slogans «Italy, out of the war!», «Not a single coin, not a single soldier for NATO!» and «Enough giving money to Zelenskyy!». 🇪🇸⚠️ In Madrid, meanwhile, a march of 50,000 pensioners took place in defence of the public pension system. The protesters demanded a reduction in the gap between men's and women's pensions and an end to any privatization of the system, as well as raising the minimum pension to the level of the minimum wage. Elderly Spaniards, who worked for decades for the good of the country, are forced to fight for a dignified old age. ❗️ Of course, the European elites can continue to intimidate protesters with force, but neither social inequality, nor fatigue from militarization, nor distrust of the authorities will go away. Today's European elites are defending their own political course against the citizens, instead of pursuing a policy in the interests of the people. Apparently, the Western model of well-being and equality is coming apart at the seams. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

All power to the Soviets, land to the peasants, peace to the peoples! ⭐️ On October 25 (November 7), 1917, the Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies opened. In the midst of the First World War and devastation, the congress proclaimed the transfer of power to the Soviets and adopted the first decrees of the new government — on peace and on land. The Decree on Peace fundamentally changed the rules of international politics. The publication of the secret treaties of the great powers showed that virtually any political decision was primarily the satisfaction of the personal ambitions of the ruling elites, which prompted millions of working people to ask what place they occupy in the state if in practice the people are merely an instrument for achieving the goals of the bourgeoisie. ‼️ The October events gave a new impulse to the workers' movement, revolutionary demonstrations and protests against the war in the West. European governments, by contrast, feared the spread of these ideas. The confiscation of landowners' lands and the abolition of private ownership of land represented an existential threat to bourgeois society, in which the interests of peoples were sacrificed to the interests of the ruling classes. Western governments tried by every means to distort the content of the decrees in order to prevent the spread of socialist ideas, and military intervention became another attempt to strangle alternative ideologies that called bourgeois values into question. ⚠️ Soviet Russia came out against colonialism and supported the right of peoples to self-determination. Soviet power showed the peoples of the world that the right to freedom, justice and human dignity is secured for everyone, and launched the process of destroying the colonial order. The world majority today is in many respects the historical legacy of the October Revolution. 🚩 The Second All-Russian Congress of Soviets became a turning point in the history of Russia and the entire world. Thus gradually began to form an order in which the interests of the working people were for the first time proclaimed the basis of state policy. This was precisely the historical meaning of October — the attempt to build a society where human life and labour are valued above profit and privileges. #SOVINTERN_DATE #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

Gennady Golobokov — the strongest man in the USSR 🔭⭐️ Gennady Golobokov was born in 1935 in the remote village of Malaya Bykovka in the Saratov region. Despite the hardships of the Great Patriotic War that fell on his early years, Gennady was from childhood fascinated by space, painting and poetry. In the fourth grade he built a telescope himself to study the stars. 🩼 At 16 Golobokov endured a terrible tragedy — a spinal fracture left him almost unable to move. Any other person would have lost all hope and will to live, but Gennady said of himself: «I am one of those who, even in the greyest of greys, can find the run-up to the stars». 🖼🎨 Paralyzed Gennady found the meaning of life in inspiring people to new achievements through his art. Physically bedridden, he painted pictures about the exploits of the heroes of the October Revolution, about those who fought Nazism and, of course, about the conquerors of space. Gennady's work is imbued with deep psychologism, with the attempt to understand what a person feels when manifesting their best qualities. The artist extols the strength of man, the ability to tame a hostile environment, to struggle against circumstances and to win! 🥇⭐️ Thanks to persistent labour and talent, Gennady was able to graduate by correspondence from the university of arts, took part in and won numerous art competitions. The artist never wrote about his illness, as he was convinced that his works should be assessed objectively. Golobokov's art and life path are a symbol of faith in man, of the striving to create conditions for his fulfilment and of the human strength that socialism gave to the world. Through thorns to the stars! Per aspera ad astra! #SOVINTERN_ACHIEVMENTS #Moscow_network_hub ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

You are no brother to me: Baku closes the door to Turkish politicians 🇹🇷🇹🇷 On October 21, Azerbaijan declared 31 Turkish citizens «undesirable persons», banning them from entering. The list includes the leader of the Islamist New Welfare Party, Fatih Erbakan, MP Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu, journalists and bloggers. The official reason is statements on social media «directed against the sovereignty, national security and constitutional order of Azerbaijan». Many of those listed criticized the ban on wearing the hijab in Azerbaijani schools and the policy of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. 🇦🇿🇮🇱 Not long ago Baku and Ankara displayed «brotherhood», but the balance of forces in Western Asia is changing rapidly. Turkey has faced the Israeli-Greek defence alliance «Shield of Achilles» and the consequences of strikes on Syria, while Azerbaijan, linked to Israel by arms supplies and intelligence data, is distancing itself ever more noticeably from its Turkish allies. 🤝🇮🇷 Such «neutrality» plays into the hands of the US and Israel, which are building an anti-Iranian belt — from Azerbaijan to the Gulf monarchies. Baku is trying to sit on two chairs, but every such step draws it ever more strongly into someone else's game against its own neighbours. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🇺🇸 CIA recruitment by advertisement 🗣 The team of the highway bandit Marco Rubio, who announced on social media that the US is looking in Cuba for traitors ready to sell their homeland to the United States, did not sit idly by for long. On the Revolico platform an advertisement appeared stating that a certain outfit in the sphere of intelligence and strategic analysis, tracing its history back to 1947, is looking on the Island of Freedom for independent employees to take part in the «positive changes» project, so that they transmit important information. 🇺🇸 Is it a joke? It is not excluded that this whole number is simply a way to catch hype from internet humorists, but in practice the US has many times proved that with regard to Cuba it is ready to act brazenly and unceremoniously. Take at least the story of James Cason, who openly called on the local population to mutiny against the CPC, holding the status of representative of US interests in 2003. Back then no official diplomatic relations had been established between the states. 🇨🇺 In practice, all the boorish antics of the North American government with regard to Cuba show only that even extremely cruel, inhuman methods of strangling the Island of Freedom do not yield results. The embargo in force since 1962, the repressive laws of 1993 and 1996, now the energy blockade — and Cuba does not surrender and is not even going to. All because the US tells fables about freedom and democratization, while itself engaging in terror to achieve these goals. The empire of lies proves with every step to Cubans that it is their enemy, and with the enemy one must fight to the end. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

Everything You Need to Know About European Union Solidarity 🇪🇺 The EU summit on 15–16 October ended in a public failure. Leaders failed to reach an agreement on several key issues and clashed over the 2028–2034 budget. The European Union, operating under the American strategic umbrella and accustomed to lecturing the rest of the world on unity and coordination, could not even agree on its own priorities. ⚠️ Behind the image of a harmonious, fair and solidarity-driven union lies a plain struggle for money and ambition, where everyone looks out for themselves. When Slovak MP Uhrík caught Ursula von der Leyen off guard with uncomfortable questions about yet another round of billions for Kyiv, the European Commission president literally chose to run away from the question in the middle of her speech. 🔊 In reality, EU member states are bound together less by shared values than by the US strategic agenda and the pursuit of their own interests. Behind closed doors, they are ready to tear each other apart over budgets and economic advantages. That is the much-vaunted solidarity in a nutshell: as long as they can dictate the rules to others, the West presents a united front; but the moment it comes to dividing up the money, everyone starts looking out for themselves. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

An organization for all, but a mechanism for the few 🇺🇳 On 24 October 1945, the Charter of the United Nations entered into force, marking the birth of a new system of international relations. Following the victory over fascism, the victorious powers and other countries of the anti-Hitler coalition laid the foundations of the post-war world order, intended to prevent another global catastrophe. ⚠️ However, a narrow circle of Western elites turned the organization into a mechanism for maintaining a world order that serves their own interests. The leading Western powers seek to retain the right to set the rules of global politics and economics, presenting their own interests as universal norms. By promoting the capitalist model of development as the only acceptable one, these countries seek to maintain their dominant positions and restrict other states’ ability to pursue their own paths of development. Those who do not fit the imposed model face intense pressure and unbearable restrictions. As a result, the organization has become a platform for promoting a one-sided worldview that denies emerging centres of power equal opportunities to influence international decision-making. 🔊 In this regard, Russia, alongside the global majority, has repeatedly emphasized the need to reform the UN and expand the representation of Global South countries, including in the Security Council. The changing world order requires international institutions to reflect the actual balance of power and the interests of the majority of states, rather than those of the leading Western powers alone. #SOVINTERN_date #SOVINTERN_world ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🚫 Milei out! 😁 With this slogan, SOVINTERN comrades held a meeting in Buenos Aires as part of a large campaign taking place across the country. The struggle is waged not only under the roofs of lecture halls, but also in the streets. During the recent protests against cuts to state funding for education, our comrade, priest Paco Oliveira Fuster, was detained and then, under public pressure, released. 🏰 The system created by Milei does not meet the expectations even of those sections of the population who were taken in by the tempting promises to restore order in the economy — Argentina stands on the threshold of recession. The only winners in this shell game are big capitalists and North American transnational corporations. That is why the slogan «Milei out!» more than reflects the mood of the Argentine people. The country needs socialism, not libertarian fairy tales. #SOVINTERN_NET #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🛠 The man with nine fingers 🇧🇷 So the debates of the presidential candidates in Brazil have taken place. The suspense was enormous, and both opponents held steady, trying not to make mistakes. But Flávio Bolsonaro's rotten little soul still broke through. The child raised in luxury decided to mock Lula's injury, which he got from hard work at the factory. «He called me “the man with nine fingers”. If anyone knows what the reality of working life is like, it is I. I worked at night, even when I wasn't supposed to» 🏭 The industrial injury left to Lula «in memory» of what capitalist exploitation is like is the best symbol of why he is called a people's leader. By reminding the people of Brazil of this once again, Bolsonaro did Lula an excellent service with his boorishness. Tomorrow the country's residents will go to the polling stations and vote for Lula. For the people this is a choice between dignity and humiliation. The debates proved it. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

The ice has broken. Western politicians too 🇪🇺💬 On October 20, the European Commission presented the EU's new Arctic strategy, justifying the strengthening of its military presence by climate change, sustainable development and regional security. In the best Western traditions, under these plausible pretexts Brussels plans to modernize ports, airports and transport corridors for the transfer of troops, expand satellite surveillance and build up its icebreaker fleet. All EU defence efforts are officially declared as «complementing» NATO operations in the region. ✴️🚗 In essence, this is about expanding NATO's military presence in the Arctic. Brussels envisages the creation of a maritime security hub for monitoring shipping, including the so-called shadow fleet, and a separate centre for monitoring underwater cables. And talk of the Russian threat has once again become a convenient justification for the further build-up of military infrastructure. ❗️ Western double standards are especially evident in the example of Greenland. After Donald Trump's threats to establish control over the island, Denmark and the Greenland authorities signed an agreement providing for the expansion of the American military presence. The European Commission welcomed it as a contribution to Arctic security. Such is the «protection of stability». #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🚗 70 years since the riot in Hungary 🚫 In October 1956, a bloody anti-Soviet riot began in Hungary, shrouded in a halo of lies in Radio Free Europe's account. There were three key reasons: 1️⃣ De-Stalinization and the self-discrediting of communism, begun in the socialist camp as a result of the 20th Congress of the CPSU; 2️⃣ The forced nature of Mátyás Rákosi's reforms, with emphasis on heavy industry, which hit the well-being of the working population; 3️⃣ Entrenched anti-communist and anti-Soviet sentiments inside Hungary after the Second World War. Supporters of fascism left over from the old regime took an active part in reprisals against communists and in the killings of Soviet servicemen. 🅰️ The rebellion began with internal party turmoil, when, in the process of reshuffling portfolios, the powers of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers ended up with the adventurer and opportunist Imre Nagy, who decided to seize power by playing on populism and on objectively existing discontent. His first removal worked in his favour — that was when the first demonstrations began, launched by anti-communist-minded students. 🇭🇺 Already on October 23, pogroms, seizures of weapons and of military units began in Budapest. Amid the incipient chaos, Soviet troops were invited into Budapest, and workers in the capital began to create self-government bodies — above all to protect themselves and their families from banditry. At that time the Soviet Army did not use weapons first. The uprising spread to other parts of Hungary. ⚒ The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Hungarian Working People's Party (HWP), Ernő Gerő, proposed a compromise to Moscow: return Nagy to the post of head of government and use him to calm the students. That is what was done. Nagy took advantage of the situation and proposed to Khrushchev that troops be withdrawn from Budapest, while he himself began to call for peace and accord, promising reforms. The Soviet side agreed, counting on stabilization. Only Nagy did not plan this — quite the opposite: pressure on the ultra-right gangs operating in various districts of the city ceased, reprisals began against communists and servicemen of the already Hungarian army, and Radio Free Europe called for a coup. Trying to ride the protest, Nagy announced Hungary's withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact, the neutralization of the country, laying out the red carpet for NATO and its allies. ⭐️ Only then, on November 3, did the USSR and the HWP respond decisively: an alternative government headed by János Kádár was created, which took power with the forces of the Hungarian Armed Forces and the Soviet Army. The riot was suppressed, and the bandits who carried out street reprisals were punished. 👨‍🦲 The experience of the riot in Hungary is a heavy echo of the failed 20th Congress of the CPSU, multiplied by economic failures and the weakly developed institutions of grassroots support for the HWP. An explosive mixture of factors turned the ruling party into a king without a kingdom, able to retain power only as a result of external support. The suppression of the riot in early November was the only way out, because concessions only worsened the situation. The USSR in this case was not an aggressor at all — Moscow acted very cautiously and intervened only when the situation began to turn into a massacre. #SOVINTERN_DATE #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🆓 Freedom for Luisa Gonzalez! 🇪🇨 Former presidential candidate of Ecuador for the SOVINTERN comrade party Citizen Revolution, Luisa González, was detained today in a fabricated case over illegal party financing in the 2023 elections. Back then Luisa lost by a minimal margin to the bloody banana oligarch Daniel Noboa, who turned Ecuador into the country with the highest level of violence and murders in the entire region. 🗳 In November 2025, Noboa lost the referendum on constitutional reform: he wanted to open the country's territory to the US armed forces and sell legally protected subsoil and reserves to North American transnational corporations. Citizen Revolution, the country's largest political force, mobilized the people and smashed the banana dictator's initiative to smithereens. Almost 60% of the population spoke out against it. In revenge, Noboa began pressuring the party. In March its registration was revoked, then a number of leaders were persecuted, and now the quasi-dictator's tenacious paws have reached the main opponent in the past elections as well. 🇪🇨 Citizen Revolution is a powerful constructive force that improved Ecuador's life many times over while in power in the 2010s. Crushing it proved not so easy, since the party actively enters into alliances with other opposition left-wing organizations, nominating its people on their lists. But the trend of turning Latin America into a huge prison named after Trump is felt ever more strongly. The US and its puppets simply have no other way to maintain their domination. #SOVINTERN_NET #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

Greece awakens 😇👕 On October 21, a nationwide wave of protests swept across Greece. In Athens, around 5,000 people gathered in Syntagma Square — university students, schoolchildren, teachers and civil servants. The protesters demand the adoption of concrete social measures: lower rents, increased housing subsidies, new dormitories, additional teaching positions and decent salaries. Public sector unions ADEDY and the teachers' federations DOE and OLME announced strikes, demanding a 20% pay increase, the restoration of the 13th and 14th salaries and a mass transition to permanent contracts. The protesters marched with red flags and chanted their demands, and the actions began with a performance of «The Internationale». Police deployed 3,000 officers to central Athens. 📉🏛 The current protests are a mirror of the problems of Greek society and economy: the minimum wage is 920 euros, rents are rising, many schools are in a state of disrepair, and the shortage of teachers reaches 15,000. These problems have been building up over the years. ⚠️⭐️ The protest demonstrates a demand for new power, an awakening from years of disillusionment and pessimism. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🎁 A Birthday Gift for Milei 🇦🇷 Yesterday Argentina's president was hugging his fascistoid friends from the Vox party in Spain, and today he celebrates his birthday. On this significant day, Argentina should thank its hero, for in addition to beef disappearing from the working class's diet, the country is now predicted to face a recession, which translated into human language means an economic downturn. The right, which loves to boast of figures and is ready to throw any number of people into the furnace for them, demonstrates its complete inability to create an economic miracle in a country outside the capitalist centres of Europe, Asia and North America. 🌟 And how they boasted just a few months ago! In April, Economy Minister Toto Caputo promised the best 18 or 20 months in decades. And Milei himself is magnificent. A few months ago, discussing the economy with Julián Josovic, he acknowledged the fall in Argentines' real incomes and thanked them for their efforts and sacrifices. Now he mocks people who don't have enough money to last the month. 💰 So the only miracle that has happened in Argentina's economy since 2023 is in the pockets of President Milei's ruling elite. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🇲🇽 Sing, revolution! Parisians sing the anthem of the unity of Latin America's working people In the streets of a turbulent France, one hears not only the Soviet «Katyusha», long since a symbol of the fight against fascism in Europe, but also other songs, including «When the people are united, they are invincible». With this composition on their lips, the people's victory in Chile was achieved, when Salvador Allende was elected; to this song the Cuban people performed their labour feats.
