😭 The worst president in history ✅ The Argentine centre CELAG has prepared a public opinion study in Argentina. The worst ruler of the country since the restoration of democracy has deservedly been Javier Milei. Literally the embodiment of all the negative traits of a bourgeois politician: a lying populist who is at the same time an opportunistic trimmer, he promised mountains of gold in the economy in exchange for tightening the screws — the result was only repressive policy without any substantial improvements. And, of course, the crystal-clear soul of an ideological fighter for the banknote and a critic of corruption could not resist the temptation to stick his paw into public funds. Although Milei himself has not yet been caught at it, his sister Karina and chief of staff Manuel Adorni have plunged headlong into that mud. And the apples don't fall far from the apple tree. 💰 The right-wingers will sell you, son #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🏌‍♂️ The gravedigger and the milker. Colombia's President Espriella broke his own promise to lower taxes 🇨🇴 Colombia's right-wing leader, elected this summer and who promised the population mountains of gold for three kopecks, promised in his programme to lower taxes, which attracted a considerable part of small business and the well-off urban population. By cutting spending on social programmes, Espriella promised to reduce the budget deficit. Thus the tax cut logically followed from this cruel neoliberal logic. But that was not to be. 🗡 Furious Abelardo set out to defeat Colombia's organised crime and guerrilla groups by force: this will inevitably lead to repeating the mistakes of his right-wing predecessors and to new outbreaks of violence in Colombia. For these purposes, naturally, the war machine needs fuel — a lot of money. That is why taxes are indeed planned to be lowered, but only for big business. Medium and small entrepreneurs, like ordinary working people, must content themselves with what there is. 💰 And now watch closely. The treasury will not receive more money, because the share that big capital used to take into the shadows will legally remain with it, and the real figures will merely be reconciled with the paper ones. Working people and small entrepreneurs will have to finance a bloody slaughter in which they themselves will die, instead of the social support that the «inefficient» Gustavo Petro provided them. 💀 The situation is like the widely known joke about cowboys — they ate dung but earned no money. Only the price is real human suffering and lives. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

October 31 — Burkina Faso Martyrs’ Day ‼️ On October 31, 2014, a popular uprising in Burkina Faso put an end to the 27-year dictatorship of Blaise Compaoré. He came to power in October 1987 after a military coup in which the people's president Thomas Sankara was killed. With him, the country lost its course towards independent development, social transformation and economic independence. 📉 After coming to power, Compaoré announced a «correction of the revolution» and gradually turned the country towards so-called market reforms. Instead of relying on its own strength, the government staked on attracting foreign capital and cooperating with international financial institutions. The new policy strengthened the country's dependence on external creditors and noticeably hit the population's standard of living, while the elites lined their pockets thanks to corruption schemes. ✊ 27 years later, Compaoré attempted to change the Constitution and stay in power for another term. On October 30, 2014, protesters thwarted the vote on the amendments by breaking into the National Assembly building. In response, the authorities ordered fire to be opened on the discontented citizens, as a result of which dozens of people died and hundreds were wounded. On October 31, Compaoré announced his resignation and fled to Côte d'Ivoire. ⭐️ The memory of the fallen participants in the uprising became a symbol of the Burkinabè struggle for freedom and the right to independently determine the fate of the country and the people. The course towards economic self-reliance, social equality and the liberation of Africa from neocolonial Western influence, begun by Thomas Sankara, finds its continuation in the policy of the current president Ibrahim Traoré. The legacy of the «African Che Guevara» remains to this day an important reference point for those who stake on a sovereign future for the continent. #SOVINTERN_DATE #Hub_Sub_Saharan_Africa ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🍗 The big stick in action? El Salvador's Armed Forces have arrived in Haiti 🇸🇻 One and a half thousand Salvadoran servicemen have arrived on the territory of Haiti, which has been suffocating for decades from lawlessness and banditry. Things in the country are so bad that the police have no weapons or ammunition to confront the gangs, and since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021, elections have not even been scheduled because of the prevailing chaos. 🇭🇹 Haiti genuinely needs order to be restored in the literal sense of the word. El Salvador's president, the executioner Nayib Bukele, who turned the country into a concentration camp and made lawlessness state policy, has become very popular in the countries of the region where crime is a serious problem. But attempts to repeat Bukele's success in Ecuador have already failed, and Colombia is rapidly moving towards repeating that failure. There are a great many causes, but one of the main ones lies, banally enough, in the size of the states. El Salvador has only 6 million people, whereas Ecuador has three times as many. 👱‍♂️ One and a half thousand bayonets in Haiti is an unprecedented force for this country, probably since the conflicts with neighbouring Dominican Republic. Perhaps they will manage to crush the bandits: they have the experience. Both Bukele, who needs to boost his moral authority, and Trump, the grey cardinal standing behind the policy of exporting armed violence, will be pleased with such a PR move. But what comes next? How to create sovereign institutions and help Haiti form its own political culture without constant violence? The ultra-right has no answer to this question and never will. Perhaps we are witnessing the birth, for the first time since 1994, of a policy of direct colonial occupation. Under the slogans of security and justice, taking advantage of the defencelessness of the local community. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

You can’t fool the people’s memory 🇺🇸🛫 15 years ago, in 2011, NATO countries, under the contrived pretext of «protecting the civilian population», began bombing Libya. This led to the overthrow and brutal killing of Muammar Gaddafi, the destruction of statehood and the disintegration of what had once been Africa's most prosperous country. Today Libya is split between Tripoli and Benghazi, and the political transition promised by the «liberators» has still not been completed. Under these conditions, Libyans tired of war and chaos are uniting around Gaddafi's relatives. 🤩🇷🇺 Recently, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi — the son of the murdered ruler, whom many considered the heir and «de facto prime minister» under his father — fell victim to political instability. In February 2026 he was shot dead in his own home in Zintan. His death effectively cleared the way for those who are today dividing Libya. ❕🇱🇾 However, the killing of a person cannot destroy the people's memory. In an unofficial September poll, Aisha Gaddafi — Muammar Gaddafi's daughter — became the country's most popular politician. 141,502 people out of more than 549,000 participants voted for her. Several associations of supporters of the former regime have already called on her to lead the movement. Libyans remember not only the chaos brought by the «liberators», but also the time when the state worked and citizens felt cared for. The figure of Gaddafi remains for many a symbol of stability and national dignity. The people's memory cannot be deceived. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

The first rule of Armenia's fight club. Deputies staged a brawl right during a session 🥊 On October 29, in Armenia's National Assembly, a verbal skirmish between representatives of Nikol Pashinyan's ruling pro-Western «Civil Contract» party and the opposition pro-Russian «Strong Armenia» faction quickly escalated into a mass brawl. The pretext for the conflict was a taunt by deputy Taron Chakhoyan against opposition leader Narek Karapetyan over a scandalous statement by his relative. Fists, chairs and anything that came to hand were used. ⁉️ Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan did not call on his party colleagues for restraint or condemn what happened. On the contrary, he stated that the use of a chair and other improvised objects was «proportionate and correct». Moreover, Pashinyan even mocked the opposition, joking that he had mistakenly considered them physically stronger. «The situation in parliament is quite telling. The authorities are ready for any provocation, just to divert the attention of the opposition and society from the country's internal problems. Moreover, the “Civil Contract” party has the task of holding a referendum on the adoption of a new constitution by any means. To achieve this goal, they will try to persuade, “buy” or intimidate the opposition. In fact, this brawl was an attempt at the latter method of influence», — our comrades from Armenia commented. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

The Japanese are skipping history lessons 🇯🇵☢️ The Secretary-General of the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association, Dai Huaicheng, stated that Japan is one step away from possessing nuclear weapons. According to him, Tokyo has everything necessary: developed industry and huge plutonium reserves — about 44.4 tonnes of separated plutonium, enough for thousands of warheads. If the Japanese government takes a political decision, it would take dozens of days to create a nuclear explosive device. ☢️☢️ In January 2026 the association already published the report «The Nuclear Ambitions of the Japanese Right», in which it warned: Japan is the only state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons possessing a full nuclear fuel production cycle and technologies for extracting weapons-grade plutonium. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has allowed for a revision of the «three non-nuclear principles», and in Japanese society voices about the need to «discuss nuclear weapons without taboos» are sounding ever louder. ⚠️📜 Once militarism already cost Japan and the entire region dearly. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not an argument in favour of creating the bomb, but a reminder of the price peoples pay when politicians try to flex their muscles. Tokyo would do well to recall the lessons of history before it repeats itself once again. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

October 29 — Republic Day in Turkey 🆚 This date still provokes fierce disputes, which proves that the events of a hundred years ago have not become museum history. They remain a living field of struggle over what Turkey will be. And that is precisely why October 29 is a good occasion to look at the legacy of the Republic without myths and without one-sidedness. 🇹🇷🇹🇷 103 years ago, on October 29, 1923, the Turkish Republic was proclaimed. The country was suffocating from foreign interference, the Ottoman Empire was collapsing, and modernization seemed impossible without radical reforms. Responsibility for the future was taken upon himself by a contradictory leader — Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. 🎮🗳 On the one hand, with his participation a large-scale course of transformations was carried out: the caliphate was abolished, religion was separated from the state, secular civil law was introduced, the Latin alphabet replaced Arabic script, and women were granted equal rights, including voting rights. These reforms laid the foundations of a secular, modern Turkish statehood. ❕ On the other hand, Atatürk displayed extreme forms of nationalism: he confiscated property from Armenians, Greeks and Christians, suppressed the Kurdish national movement and fought against the communist party. And here we turn to our comrades from Turkey, who see this picture from within. Akar Süleyman, editor-in-chief of the Turkish Union of Struggle, SOVINTERN comrade, is convinced: «In reality, the Turkish state and Kemalism were from their very emergence anti-communist, reactionary and chauvinist structures. To ignore this aspect of reality, to attribute “progressiveness” to it and to act as a “defender of the republic” in the face of today's religious-fascist regime is an approach absolutely incompatible with proletarian socialism». 📉🛠 Today Turkey again stands before serious challenges. Inflation exceeds 30%, youth unemployment is around 15%, about 30% of the population is at risk of poverty, and corruption scandals undermine trust in institutions. In society, the demand for social justice, an honest economy and a real struggle against foreign dependence is growing. «Unemployment — which today is tantamount to expulsion from life — has exceeded 30 percent. Real inflation is 45 percent. This is no longer simply chronic poverty; today hunger has become a concrete threat squeezing the throat of workers. Republic Day is not a “holiday” for Turkish and Kurdish workers and working people», — stresses Comrade Akar. ❗️ Two sides of one coin that must not be forgotten: the Republic gave Turkey a secular state, but from the very beginning it carried within itself anti-communism and chauvinism. And today's struggle for an independent and just Turkey is impossible without an honest look at both these aspects of Atatürk's legacy. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

In the post-war years the Soviet Union lived cramped — communal flats, barracks, housing queues. But in the 1950s factories began stamping out panels, and construction went like clockwork. People received their own apartments in the first five-storey buildings. Citizens criticised the tiny kitchens and the combined bathroom — they joked about it, but people's happiness knew no bounds. From shared corridors to one's own apartment, even if a small one. It smelled of fresh paint, swings and sandboxes were installed in the courtyards, schools and polyclinics opened nearby. Gradually, from the same panels, they learned to assemble houses of various shapes, with more convenient layouts. The country of the soviets grew and beautified, and in every new district there was its own life — noisy, young, full of hopes. Fragment from the documentary «Homes for All».

📉 How much does conscience cost? 17 countries voted against lifting the blockade on Cuba 🇺🇳 Yesterday the UN GA vote on the resolution to lift the US blockade on Cuba took place. The country has been under harsh extraterritorial sanctions since 1960. During the period of the crisis of socialism this pressure only increased: the so-called «special period in peacetime» in Cuba in the 1990s was so hard precisely because in 1992 and 1996 the US adopted two strangling laws restricting third countries' trade with Cuba and prohibiting American companies from interacting with the Island of Freedom. In 2026 Washington moved to sharply strangle Cuba, pressing on the most painful spot — energy. Since February of this year Cuba has been in an exhausting ring of energy blockade, regularly enduring rolling blackouts, yet it still steadfastly continues the struggle, because the party and the people understand that the US goal is to enslave Cubans by destroying their power and sovereignty. ❌ The American embargo, as it is «politically correct» to call the blockade, has taken almost 180 billion dollars from Cuba over 66 years, of which 9 billion in 2026 alone. These are not just figures, but resources that could have gone to raising the well-being of the younger generation, to developing infrastructure: roads, hotels, extractive capacities, to creating new jobs. But these funds were taken from the Cuban people by the will of the US — the main enemy of the sovereignty of the peoples of the Western Hemisphere and the entire planet. Those 17 countries that voted against the resolution recently chose a course of rapprochement with the US, although previously only openly cannibalistic regimes — Israel and Ukraine — voted against. This trend is especially noticeable in Latin America with the example of Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, etc. Betraying Cuba for the sake of the well-being promised by the US, their right-wing regimes are selling their own sovereignty, their own ability to resist North American pressure when that problem confronts them. 🇲🇽 However, there is light at the end of the tunnel: Lula's victory in Brazil and the revival of the trend towards popular mobilization around the most progressive social forces can cut through the right-wing wave and neutralize its destructive consequences. The peoples of the continent are in solidarity with Cuba, not with the US. Although Washington's puppets are trying to create a favourable public opinion, they will not succeed in reflashing the consciousness of an entire civilization. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🎪 The circus left, but the clowns stayed. Flávio Bolsonaro fled Brazil after the elections 🤩 Shortly after Lula's historic victory over Bolsonaro junior, the son of the Brazilian oligarchy's regiment decided to flee to the homeland whose interests he defends — the United States of America. Having landed in Miami, a haven for all the political garbage of Latin America, he declared himself the winner of the race and proclaimed himself president. Right in his father's footsteps. Several of his liberal party supporters even backed these absurd slogans. 🇧🇷 Of course, this attempted coup, even more absurd than what the elder of the Bolsonaro quartet staged in 2022, is a way to save face. An attempt, it must be said, not very intellectual, like everything Flávio utters, but as best he can. In Brazil he is not merely a candidate who lost the election to his own working people, but also a swindler suspected of financial fraud. So if Flávio did end up behind bars alongside his father, it would certainly not be under a political article. That frightened him no less than the shame he had experienced. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🥖 Feed the whole world? Give everyone access to fresh water? Provide basic healthcare? Wage war. 🇺🇳 The UN has prepared a terrifying report: in the modern world almost 3 trillion dollars a year goes to military spending. That money would be enough to feed all the people on Earth, vaccinate all children and completely eliminate poverty, if calculated according to the formula proposed in the 2030 Agenda. Almost 2.5 trillion would remain for any purpose. 🛠 Instead of creating the conditions for eliminating the birthmarks of the past — poverty, hunger and disease — and rushing into a beautiful future, capitalism prefers to kill. #SOVINTERN_NUMBERS ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

They blew up on their own. Israel bombs Iraq but pretends to have nothing to do with it 🇮🇶💣 Baghdad is investigating a series of mysterious explosions at warehouses of pro-Iranian formations. According to Iraqi special services, the targets were radars and mobile launchers of Chinese air defence systems recently supplied from Iran to cover the bases of the «Popular Mobilization Forces». The strikes were carried out shortly after the cargo arrived at warehouses that members of the organization considered inaccessible and hidden. 🇮🇱🇺🇸 Israel is officially silent, but attack drones and fighter jets with in-flight refuelling have been recorded in the skies over Iraq since early October. After the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq on September 30, Washington, according to Western sources, lifted restrictions on Israeli flights over the country. Now Tel Aviv and the US are methodically «finishing off» the Iranian «Axis of Resistance», not hesitating to violate Iraq's sovereignty and drag it into someone else's war. Iraq is already preparing an appeal to the UN Security Council. ⚠️ While officials shrug, Iraqi soil is again becoming a testing ground for others' wars. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

🇻🇪 The María Machado project. Venezuela's liberal opposition leader has returned to the country ☑️ While everyone was absorbed in the elections in Brazil, many did not notice María Corina Machado's return to Venezuela. The liberal who called for a US military invasion of her own country crossed the state border and is now in Venezuela. This was already reported by her supporters' resources and former presidential candidate Edmundo González. 🧑‍💼 Machado hopes to take part in the elections that the opposition would like to hold next year on Simón Bolívar's birthday, July 24. The problem is that by law she cannot run due to a criminal case opened against her in 2024. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

😡 Daddy is angry. Trump was very upset by the results of the elections in Brazil 🟧 US President Donald Trump, on the second day after Lula's victory, expressed his attitude to the electoral process in Brazil, saying that in his opinion there had been fraud there. He considers the main one to be the quite fair extension of polling stations' work by 2 hours on the evening of October 25. 🇺🇸 In reality, behind these empty verbal constructions of Trump, as always, lies a cold calculation. Trump and his friends from Epstein Island invested large sums of money in Bolsonaro's victory, and occupying Brazil was extremely important for them. However, the people's victory made its own adjustments to these plans. Now the North American oligarchy is sad together with the Brazilian one. And they deserve it. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Latin_America ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

Outsmarted himself. Washington plotted a secret war against competitors, but was exposed right at the start 🤒 According to The Washington Post and Politico, the Pentagon is developing programmes of economic espionage and covert sabotage against US technological competitors. In particular, the Technical Support Office (TSO), created in April, is to help disrupt or slow down the development of technologies that Washington considers a threat to its armed forces. To achieve these goals, according to sources, it is planned to use undercover agents, cyber intrusions and disinformation. The Pentagon itself denies this information. 🛸 In effect, intelligence activity is merging with the economic interests of American business. Intelligence becomes in this context an instrument not only of gathering information, but also of eliminating the competitors of US corporations. According to The Washington Post, former CIA Deputy Director David Cohen has already spoken repeatedly in favour of transferring to American companies economically significant information obtained by intelligence, for the sake of their competitive advantage. 🚨 This is no longer simply about collecting intelligence data, but about deliberate interference in others' technological programmes and undermining the activities of competitors. Washington clings with all its might to the spectre of its own global supremacy, refusing to recognize the emergence of new centres of power and worthy competitors. Instead of accepting the new realities and entering into honest rivalry, the American elites resort to espionage, sabotage and attempts to slow down others' development. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN

⚠️ Socialism's Victory Over Smallpox 💉 On October 26, 1978, the World Health Organization announced the complete eradication of the smallpox virus in nature. It was one of the most lethal infectious diseases, disfiguring those who survived it with scars on their faces for the rest of their lives. In the epidemic of the late 19th century, smallpox claimed the lives of 500,000 people. 🇷🇺 Such a result was achieved thanks to mass vaccination deployed throughout the world. The initiator of the global programme back in 1958 was the Soviet Union. Billions of doses of vaccines were produced and delivered through the UN to people living in the most remote corners of the Earth. Naturally, distrust, lack of education and prejudices had to be overcome. 📒 The Soviet epidemiologist Vladimir Fedorov, who in the 1970s headed the smallpox eradication programme in Afghanistan, recalled: «Mass vaccination in Afghanistan required in many respects an individual approach and was carried out from house to house. Many of these houses confirmed the well-known saying “My home is my fortress”. Obtaining consent for vaccination, as a rule, required a delicate, patient explanation of the harmlessness and importance of vaccination against smallpox. To carry out the measure, it was necessary to obtain the permission of the village elder and the mullah». 🔥 Humanity's victory over smallpox is a step of undeniable progress that has preserved the lives of hundreds of millions of people alive today. It became possible thanks to socialism, whose guiding principle is concern for the human being regardless of nationality or religious confession. In the future, humanity will have to defeat cancer, neuropsychiatric diseases and also ageing — all of this will become possible only under socialism. This is the future. #SOVINTERN_DATE ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
