New documents leaked by a source close to the Putin administration shed light on a previously unknown tool in the Kremlin’s propaganda arsenal: an online program called Clicker Pulse. This software allows the Russian authorities and pro-government media to track which individual messages from the president’s speeches resonate with specific audiences and which ones fall flat. Using this information, the managers of Kremlin-aligned social media pages can then boost or suppress various sound bites from Putin’s addresses and press conferences to align with what regional audiences want to hear. Here’s how it works.
Propagandists from the pro-Kremlin “autonomous nonprofit organization” (ANO) Dialog gather information about the reactions of various segments of the Russian public to specific statements made by Vladimir Putin, according to leaked documents obtained by the Estonian news outlet Delfi and shared with Meduza.
To record viewers’ “spontaneous emotional reactions” to particular moments in Putin’s speeches, according to the documents, Dialog has created an online tool called Clicker Pulse. The program works by asking focus group participants from Russia’s “main social groups” to click “Like” or “Dislike” every five seconds while watching videos of Putin’s speeches. It then aggregates the data, showing Dialog employees the majority reactions of various categories of viewers to each point in the speech.
This, the documents indicate, allows the Russian authorities’ vast network of social media curators to “adjust the audience for the delivery of [Putin’s] messages.” In other words, the Kremlin’s “regional governance centers” (RGCs) — agencies throughout the country that were created at Putin’s request in 2020 to get “feedback” from Russians online — can decide in real time which messages from Putin’s speeches to promote and which ones to suppress on regional pro-government social media pages and Telegram channels.
The focus group participants’ reactions are also sent immediately to senior members of the Putin administration, though it’s unclear from the leaked documents what the president’s team does with this information.
Additionally, Meduza has obtained a report that describes in detail the reactions of focus group participants to a press conference held by Putin in December 2021. Viewers’ “overall impression” of the event was “mixed,” according to the report’s authors; for example, most of them reacted negatively to Putin’s answer to a question about Russia’s restrictions on “foreign agents.” In his statement, the president claimed that the “beacon of democracy, the U.S.,” has a law similar to Russia’s repressive “foreign agents” law and that Moscow’s version is “much more liberal” than Washington’s. (This is not the case.)
The focus group also had a negative reaction to Putin’s answer to a question about the use of torture in Russian prisons. Asked how the authorities planned to combat the practice and whether Putin would personally oversee these efforts, Putin said that torture in prisons is a “worldwide problem” and that “there are many places in Europe — say, in France — and in the U.S., the kinds of places that no longer exist even in third world countries.”
Meanwhile, viewers had positive reactions to Putin’s statements that “Ukraine was created by Lenin” and that the U.S. “came to our home with its missiles,” two claims that Putin would use to justify the full-scale war against Ukraine just months later.
Overall, respondents criticized the press conference for featuring “amorphous questions that received amorphous answers,” calling the event “pretty boring,” “predictable,” and “banal.”
A regional official who has heard the Russian authorities discuss their use of focus groups and Clicker Pulse told the authors of this story that the program was the “initiative” of Dialog ANO (whose head, Vladimir Tabak, did not respond to questions about Clicker Pulse). At the same time, the source said he’s confident that if focus group participants begin “criticizing the president too much,” these methods will quickly be discontinued.

The government decided on Thursday to extradite to the United States an Estonian citizen, Andrey Shevlyakov, who is suspected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of procuring US-made electronic equipment for the Russian military.
Shevlyakov was detained by Estonia's Internal Security Service in March last year at the request of the FBI and has been in custody since then.
Justice Minister Liisa-Ly Pakosta told a government press conference on Thursday that the government made the decision to extradite Andrey Shevlyakov to the United States, but Shevlyakov is likely to use the opportunity to appeal the decision.
FBI Houston announced on social media in April 2023 that in cooperation with the Bureau of Industry and Security of the US Department of Commerce and Estonian Internal Security Service, a man who allegedly procured US-made electronics on behalf of the Russian government and military for more than a decade had been arrested.
Special agent in charge James Smith said that the Estonian citizen, Andrey Shevlyakov, was arrested on March 28 of that year on suspicion of procuring US-made electronics, including radar components and hacking software, on behalf of the Russian government and military.
«For years, Mr Shevlyakov's elaborate web of deceit allowed him to allegedly procure sensitive American-made electronics on behalf of the Russian military. His illegal acquisitions of sophisticated US technology endangered citizens in both Ukraine and the United States,» Smith said. The announcement says that at the time of his arrest, deliveries meant for Shevlyakov in Estonia, including 130 kilograms of radio equipment, were confiscated.
Shevlyakov purchased multiple items, including low-noise pre-scalers and synthesizers, used to conduct high-frequency communications, and analog-to-digital converters, which are components used in defense systems such as electronic warfare systems and missiles. In May 2020, Shevlyakov used one of his front companies to buy a licensed copy of the penetration testing platform Metasploit Pro. Shevlyakov allegedly exported at least 800,000 US dollars worth of items from US electronics manufacturers and distributors between approximately October 2012 and January 2022.
Shevlyakov engaged in this conduct despite being listed on a Department of Commerce-maintained list, known as the Entity List, that designates individuals and companies who are barred from exporting items from the United States without a license. He used false names and a web of front companies to evade the Entity List's restrictions.
If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years' imprisonment.

Slight correction: multiple artists Lily specifically favorited have been arrested for using CSEM as references for their 3D work. Kaneda used her toddler son as reference material, including having someone have intercural sex with him for that material. Masked is in prison for using a child of a family he was friends with for reference material and he had sex with the boy in question multiple times, even though he was able to dodge charges regarding that due to oral sex not being provable in a court of law. Amri, one of two animators who made the Spike rape animation Lily faved, was convicted of violating an Estonian law that prohibits adults having kids engage in sexual activity with them, adults putting children into prostitution, and adults using children for pornographic purposes.
If you look at screenshots from Sankaku, where thumbnails flagged for review for possibly being made with CSEM are framed in yellow, there are over a dozen images flagged in every. single. account's. favorites. That's how prolific the problem is on there. You can't avoid it even if you try if you look into the loli or shota tags. The fact that they have a flagging system because this keeps happening is in and of itself really alarming.
I get that not every person who makes NSFW of a character who's underage references real minors, and a lot of horny teens make art of teen characters they like, but while I respect anon's attempts to assume good faith and assume innocence rather than guilt... on Sankaku, CSEM and NSFW are genuinely, honestly interchangeable terms a lot of the time. Three artists in one year alone who abused children aside, any site that hosts 3D, photorealistic art is going to have art made from CSEM references because artists who use CSEM as reference material can blend in and hide behind those who don't.
That's why survivors hate that site. It's not "doing survivors a disservice" to refer to that shit as CSEM because 1. a large chunk of it is 2. a lot of users looking at it are looking for CSEM they won't get in legal trouble for and 3. even the 3D renders that aren't CSEM would still look like CSEM to anyone who's not a 3D artist who can pick out all the anatomy flaws in it.
As a survivor I get why anon wants to distinguish between art and exploitation of children because yeah, some 16 year old being horny for a 15 year old character isn't CSEM but that's just not what we're discussing when it's Sankaku.
Point in case: my abuser took a picture he had where he'd came on my face and had a 3D artist make a render of it with his brother's face instead of mine. It's still on Sankaku because even when they take it down, people reupload it. It's been in circulation for six years.
Sorry for dumping this in your inbox, this kind of thing just makes me see red. I'm not a bad survivor for hating Sankaku or for calling it CSEM and neither are you.
I realize the descriptions in this are graphic, but I'm sharing it with trigger warnings because YALL NEED TO REALIZE HOW GRAPHIC THE SHIT LILY IS LOOKING AT IS!
This isn't a joke!
This isn't "anti vs pro" ship bullshit!
This isn't "Oh but it's fictional so it's not the same"!
LILY ORCHARD IS A VIOLENT PEDOPHILE!!
If seeing this offends you, instead of getting mad and indignant at the people spreading awareness about it, TARGET THAT SHIT AT THE PERSON USING HER PLATFORM TO ACCESS MINORS AND OTHER VULNERABLE PEOPLE!

Say what you want about this take, but Estonia's recent reluctance to let in Ukrainian refugees entering the EU from Russia is caused by the same mindset that led to the Russian-Estonian border to be almost closed for the Russian citizens.
First it's "people are responsible for their government's actions, therefore even if you are desperate enough to swim across the river to Estonia to avoid mobilization, we'll send you back" (actually happened), second it's "only those Ukrainians we like, that is, who left early enough (and when is early, that we decide) and who left from the regions we like (recently occupied rather than occupied since 2014, also Mariupol is too pro-Russian now, we don't like it either) get to leave the what we consider a terrorist country".
It's all same old "the country has the ultimate right to decide who it lets in, and entering another country is a privilege, not a right" for both (this argument is used to justify denying entry for Russians).
There are only two ways from which a country can choose when it comes to refugees: either they are innocent until proven guilty (every Ukrainian seeking asylum is against the war and so is every Russian) or they are subjected to human rights abuse, as if they haven't been through way too much already.
Yep, the bad bad Russians - like guys running away from forced draft, inevitably followed by prison or death, or feminist activists a bit too outspoken about the war, or volunteers who help Ukrainians leave Russia - will enter The Beautiful Not At All Like Russia Europe, I get it. But maybe it's worth it if another Ukrainian won't spend a night on a bench in Ivangorod after Estonia fucked him over, m?

Wrapped up the last book:
This book stopped in 2001, so it didn't have to deal with the impolitic reality that the fragile post-Soviet democracy turned into a pro-Russian dictatorship under the misrule of one Viktor Orban. It did, however, cover the entire span of Hungarian history from the migration to Europe and the Battle of Lechfeld, which settled the brief age of Magyars as one of many migrant horse nomadic Asian cultures that rampaged over Europe and marked the transformation of them, like the Estonians and Finns, into a very self-consciously European and Europeanized culture.
The reality of Magyar culture, like that of Finland, Estonia, and the Basques is that they are small islands of non Indo-European culture in a vast sea of Indo-European languages. This in turn has been something that the Hungarians are always very consciously aware of as well, and it accounts in no small part for old model feudal Hungary preserving Latin as the official language of the Hungarian assemblies into the mid-19th Century. Latin was more easily understood by the Indo-European cultures around them than Magyar, which like Finnish looks like a sneeze when written and unlike Finnish tends to sound like one in speech (but not nearly as bad as Welsh in reading or trying to speak Kartuli, f'rex).
This accounts for much of the self-imposed view of Hungarians of their culture, of their successes, and their failures. Until the Treaty of Trianon the kings and magnates of Hungary led a state that would go on to account for over half the territory of the future Habsburg Empire, and some of the kings, like Matthias Corvinus and Isvtan I/Stephen went on to fame, most of them fitting outside Hungary into the generic grey blur of Central and Eastern Europe that isn't Habsburg, German, or Russian.
Hungarians managed to preserve the huge state on paper, even if the institutions became increasingly sclerotic in a kind of inverse mirror of Poland. No Liberum Veto, instead overmighty subjects without whom Hungary could not be governed, but with whom it underwent a time of serfdom matching anything in the broader expanse of Muscovite and Romanov Russia.
Nationalism became the bane of this state as it did the rest of the world and this one more than most, and Trianon is to it what Sevres is to Turkey, the ever-ready excuse that ultimately played a minor role in the rise of Orban and in the willingness of Hungary to join with Hitler.....and the Hungarian view of periodic uprisings on behalf of freedom as it defined it under Kossuth and Imre Nagy in 1956 also co-existed with a pattern of Hungarian freedom ridden down by Cossacks or gunned down by canister fire from Soviet tanks.
This is a part of the modern duality of Hungary, a state consciously aware that most of its neighbors were once peasants farming the fields of Hungarian magnates, and aware of a democratic-bulwark tradition that has seen great heroism producing a string of disasters matching much of the tradition of Poland when the Slzachta finally buried the commonwealth and the peasants took up where their overlords left off.

In late 2023, the Estonian news agency Delfi Estonia obtained a set of leaked documents from the Russian presidential administration. In the weeks that followed, journalists from Meduza, iStories, and numerous other international outlets studied the documents and used them to conduct investigations into Russian government activity as part of a joint project called Kremlin Leaks. One of the documents included in the leak was a lengthy presentation that claims a variety of popular movies and TV shows were made with the aim of boosting support for Putin in the lead-up to his reelection in March 2024. According to several Russian media industry executives, however, the creators of many of these projects had no idea they were supposed to be making pro-Putin content. Meduza explains how this could have happened.
In the spring of 2023, the Russian presidential administration held a meeting to discuss Vladimir Putin’s upcoming reelection, which was exactly a year away at the time. According to a person who attended the meeting, participants included administration members, federal officials, and political strategists. The attendees were shown a long presentation titled “Creative Content for the Elections.”
The presentation was given by Sergey Novikov, who heads Russia’s Presidential Directorate for Social Projects. As Meduza and iStories have previously reported, this agency is now responsible for making major decisions regarding Russia’s cultural policy — for example, which musicians are allowed to perform in Russia and which ones are unofficially banned from giving concerts.
Novikov’s co-author on the presentation was Alexey Goreslavsky, the head of the Kremlin’s Internet Development Institute (IDI). Since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, the Russian government has allocated enormous amounts of money to the IDI to spend on movies, TV shows, and other media, much of which is blatantly propagandistic.
According to documents from the presentation, the Putin administration and the IDI prepared dozens of “creative projects” aimed at boosting Putin’s popularity in the lead-up to his 2024 reelection. Novikov’s subordinates were responsible for promoting these projects with the help of bloggers and media outlets, while Goreslavsky’s agency was in charge of traditional marketing. Dialog, a pro-Kremlin “autonomous nonprofit organization” that has played a key role in spreading disinformation about the war among Russian society, was tasked with “distributing the content in Russia’s regions.”
The presentation’s list of films and TV shows to be “distributed” and “promoted” for the sake of Putin’s approval ratings includes projects financed by the IDI itself as well as content funded by Russia’s Culture Ministry and even some sponsored by private investors. Many of the shows and movies are difficult to construe as obviously aligned with the Kremlin’s agenda.
Seeing what sticks
The most notable item on the list of purportedly pro-Putin media is the 2023 series “The Boy’s Word,” a violent drama about the lives of young gang members in Kazan in the 1980s (and Russia’s most popular TV show in recent years). Novikov and Goreslavsky’s presentation claims that “The Boy’s Word” was created with the aim of “raising public awareness of the positive changes in the lives of people in Russia [since the 1980s], the historical and modern achievements of one’s fellow citizens, and the heroes of our times and role models.” (“The Boy’s Word” was funded in part by the IDI.)
Movies that appear on the list include “The Prophet,” a musical film about the life of Alexander Pushkin; the comedy film “Serf 2”; the figure skating drama “Ice 3”; and the children’s fantasy movie “Wish of the Fairy Fish.” These films made a combined total of 10 billion rubles ($108.3 million) at the box office — and according to Novikov and Goreslavsky, they also helped “protect [Russia’s] national interests and traditional values.”
Other items on the list bear more obvious relevance to the Kremlin’s interests. It’s easy to see, for example, how the TV series “GDR,” which depicts a Soviet intelligence agent in East Germany, meets the propagandists’ stated goal of “conveying a positive image of a security service officer.” Some of the projects even deal directly with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, such as the series “Fathers of the Donbas,” which is billed as a “multi-part documentary about the people and events taking place on the southern borders of Russia in the Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Rostov regions.”
News to the creators
In many cases, according to industry sources who spoke to Meduza, the creators of the movies and TV shows mentioned in Novikov and Goreslavsky’s presentation had no idea the content they were creating was supposed to help Putin.
One person in the film industry told Meduza that “The Boy’s Word,” for example, was filmed “with no political or ideological motives.” “This series has no relation to current events. It was simply made to be commercially successful,” the source emphasized.
According to a source close to Alexander Voitinsky, the director of “Wish of the Fairy Fish,” Voitinsky knew nothing about Novikov and Goreslavsky’s presentation. The source said that even after learning his film had been named as a successful Kremlin messaging effort, the director “continues to love Russian fairy tales, despite the political activity around them.” (Voitinsky himself declined to speak to Meduza as the Russian government has declared Meduza an “undesirable organization.”)
Additionally, a source close to journalist Alexander Lyubimov, who is named in the presentation as a “public opinion leader” tasked with promoting the show “Fathers of the Donbas,” said that Lyubimov “knew nothing about” the presentation — or even the series itself. “Apparently they stuck his name in there to sell it better and to enhance their own credibility,” said the source. He said the film’s producer Sergey Ponomarev didn’t know anything about Lyubimov’s alleged participation in the project either.
A source close to the team behind the 2023 film “Air” had a similar response to Meduza’s inquiry. Production on the movie, which depicts female pilots protecting the skies over besieged Leningrad, began several years ago; nonetheless, the presentation shown to the Putin administration says that it was strategically funded to “defend [Russia’s] national interests and traditional values” ahead of the March 2024 vote. “[The film’s creators] didn’t have the slightest inkling that this could be linked to the election in any way,” said the source.
Another film industry source noted that “The Prophet,” the musical about Alexander Pushkin, was initially rejected when its creators applied for government funding:
In 2021, when they sent in their application, they showed a clip in which Borisov, the actor playing Pushkin, read the poem “Ode to Liberty.” It includes the lines: “You autocratic psychopath, / You and your throne do I despise!” And for some odd reason, the Cinema Foundation rejected the application.
But a year later, the source said, “they sorted something out, got the money, and the scene is no longer in the film:
No one ever mentioned this being creative content for the election; there was no talk of that at all. I can only speculate about why the film was included in the presentation. Evidently, the people who made [the presentation] needed to justify the decision to fund it. I mean, how can this be creative content for [Putin’s campaign] when Pushkin’s whole biography is the story of an artist saying ‘Screw the authorities?’
“GDR,” the series about an intelligence agent in East Germany, was also not made with the election in mind, according to another film industry source, although the Telegram channel Ruthless PR has written that the show’s protagonist may be based on Vladimir Putin himself (Putin worked as a KGB agent in East Germany in the 1980s). The source said that production on “GDR” began several years ago and that it was “originally conceived as a mass market film but it happened to fit [the Kremlin’s needs].” He said that when production on the show began, there were no similarities to Putin’s career (other than the obvious one, presumably).
“Apparently, Novikov and Goreslavsky are just latching onto successful projects,” one source involved in the production of “GDR” told Meduza. Another source familiar with the shooting process of one of the shows on the Kremlin list agreed: “I think they just chose everything that could feasibly be related to the elections. They pulled everything they could out of thin air.”
A source from the film industry offered a similar explanation. “They’re trying to bolster their own activities with these ideological supports,” he said.
They look at what projects have been released and what they can latch onto to justify their expenses. It’s like, “Look, we’re doing ideological work, working for the good of the country, spending money wisely. There are mistakes sometimes, like ‘The Master and Margarita,’ but we’re moving in the right direction and self-correcting.”
Alexey Goreslavsky; Sergey Novikov; representatives of the film companies STV, YBW, Art Pictures Studio, Studio Trite, and Bubblegum Production; and the Patriot National Film Foundation did not respond to requests for comment from the authors of this story.

"Over the past year, the Russian minority population has grown increasingly disengaged from mainstream Estonian politics. Many citizens of the former industrial heartland – which has the highest unemployment rate in the country – have been alienated by Kallas’s hawkish approach. In March, the lowest voter turnout was recorded in Ida-Viru county, where the candidate for the pro-Russia United Left Party, the successor of the Estonian Communist Party, performed exceptionally well. The party’s total vote share increased from just 510 in 2019 to 14,605: ‘a very clear warning sign’, according to Narva’s Social Democratic mayor Katri Raik, who added that ‘the alarm bell should be ringing.’ For now, Kallas may have beaten her electoral rivals and consolidated support for the NATO war effort. But a significant section of the population does not share her vision, and attempts to forcibly integrate them into the Atlanticist paradise of e-Estonia may provoke a backlash." - Lily Lynch

Russia rush to recover U.S. slaughtered MQ-9 Reaper in the Black Sea
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 16/03/2023 - 19:46in Incidents, Military, War Zones
Russian experts were rushed to the Black Sea to recover the wreckage of the American MQ-9 Reaper drone that crashed after a "meeting" with Russian Su-27 jets.
"I don't know if we will be able to recover it or not, but it has to be done. And we will certainly work on it," said the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, in televised comments.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday that Russian experts will recover the Reaper from the seabed, if necessary for security reasons.
Tumblr media
US MQ-9 Reaper drone damaged on the helix's shovel before falling into the Black Sea.
"This is a prerogative of the military. If they consider it necessary to do this in the Black Sea for our interests and our security, they will deal with it," Peskov told reporters.
The pro-Russian news site ForPost, which mainly covers Russia-occupied Crimea, reported that the Russian Navy found the wreckage of the MQ-9 “near Sevastopol” at a depth of about 900 meters (2,952 feet).
An unidentified source, close to the Russian Ministry of Defense, told ForPost: “An underwater robot descended to the bottom of the sea, which discovered the MQ-9 Reaper at a depth of about 850-900 meters. Not far from this area is the deep-water branch of the South Stream gas pipeline.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Washington said that the drone may never be recovered and that measures have been taken to ensure that Russia does not obtain intelligence from the wreckage.
Tumblr media
The depth of the water where the Reaper fell is between 1,200 and 1,500 m (4,000-5,000 feet), the U.S. said.
"It has not been recovered. And I'm not sure if we'll be able to recover it," White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told CNN. "Where it fell in the Black Sea - very, very deep waters. So we are still evaluating if there can be some kind of recovery effort. There may not be.
Even before the above map was released by USAFE, observers were making their own efforts to try to determine the location of the drone seen in the Pentagon video, also placing it on the southwest coast of Crimea.
Tumblr media
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the U.S. is also looking for the aircraft, but emphasized that if Russia arrives before them, “its ability to exploit useful information will be highly minimized.”
“The U.S. is taking mitigating measures to ensure that there is nothing of value in the downed drone,” said Army General Mark Milley.
The U.S. and Russia have conflicting reports about what happened on March 14 in the Black Sea, near the Crimean region. While the U.S. claimed that one of the two Su-27s dumped fuel on the Reaper and then collided with it, including releasing a video today; Russia said that the drone entered an uncontrolled flight as a result of an abrupt maneuver, lost altitude and fell into the water.
youtube
“The flights of strategic American UAVs on the coast of Crimea are provocative in nature, which creates the preconditions for an escalation of the situation in the Black Sea zone,” the Russian Ministry of Defense said.
Patrushev said that the incident was "another proof that the United States is a direct party to the struggle between Moscow and Kiev and said that Russia has a responsibility to defend our independence and our sovereignty".
British and German Typhoon fighters were fired on Wednesday to intercept a Russian Refueling Il-78 aircraft and a transport An-148 flying near Estonian airspace.

The government decided on Thursday to extradite to the United States an Estonian citizen, Andrey Shevlyakov, who is suspected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of procuring US-made electronic equipment for the Russian military.
Shevlyakov was detained by Estonia's Internal Security Service in March last year at the request of the FBI and has been in custody since then.
Justice Minister Liisa-Ly Pakosta told a government press conference on Thursday that the government made the decision to extradite Andrey Shevlyakov to the United States, but Shevlyakov is likely to use the opportunity to appeal the decision.
FBI Houston announced on social media in April 2023 that in cooperation with the Bureau of Industry and Security of the US Department of Commerce and Estonian Internal Security Service, a man who allegedly procured US-made electronics on behalf of the Russian government and military for more than a decade had been arrested.
Special agent in charge James Smith said that the Estonian citizen, Andrey Shevlyakov, was arrested on March 28 of that year on suspicion of procuring US-made electronics, including radar components and hacking software, on behalf of the Russian government and military.
«For years, Mr Shevlyakov's elaborate web of deceit allowed him to allegedly procure sensitive American-made electronics on behalf of the Russian military. His illegal acquisitions of sophisticated US technology endangered citizens in both Ukraine and the United States,» Smith said. The announcement says that at the time of his arrest, deliveries meant for Shevlyakov in Estonia, including 130 kilograms of radio equipment, were confiscated.
Shevlyakov purchased multiple items, including low-noise pre-scalers and synthesizers, used to conduct high-frequency communications, and analog-to-digital converters, which are components used in defense systems such as electronic warfare systems and missiles. In May 2020, Shevlyakov used one of his front companies to buy a licensed copy of the penetration testing platform Metasploit Pro. Shevlyakov allegedly exported at least 800,000 US dollars worth of items from US electronics manufacturers and distributors between approximately October 2012 and January 2022.
Shevlyakov engaged in this conduct despite being listed on a Department of Commerce-maintained list, known as the Entity List, that designates individuals and companies who are barred from exporting items from the United States without a license. He used false names and a web of front companies to evade the Entity List's restrictions.
If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years' imprisonment.

donate money without spending!
Little known pro tip for Estonian tax residents. If you pay taxes, i.e. if you have an income above the minimum tax-deductible whatever, you can get a part of it back if you donate.
The limit, sadly, is set to 1200€ per year (see source), and it also can be only up to 50% of your taxes (I cannot find this number right now, I might be wrong on this part). Meaning, if you pay 2400€ in taxes per year, you can still donate 100€ a month to a non-profit, then pay fewer taxes, basically meaning you donated money without losing any money.
Remember, this isn't about the one-time payment or the 0.02€ tax refund you get in spring. If you have a job, your employer is already pre-paying your taxes.
If your gross income is 1500€, your net income is about 1223€, and you pay about 222€ on income tax. You can donate 100€ to a non-profit.
More details on the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (or the "evil EMTA" as I call it). A list of non-profits that are eligible for the tax-deductible donation is there as well.

A far-right anti-immigrant party in Poland held a rally in the southeastern town of Sanok to protest Ukrainian refugees who have fled the Russian invasion of their country. The only people who showed up at the rally were its organizer, Karolina Pikuła, and one heckler.
On Sunday in Sanok, a town of 37,000 in southeaster  Poland near the border with Ukraine, Karolina Pikuła, a Confederation activist and associate of Braun, organised another protest against the “Ukrainisation of Poland” on the market square.
However, during the event – which Pikuła streamed live on YouTube – no one turned up. The only interest shown was from a man who came to argue with her.
In general, Poland has been very pro-Ukraine. It has welcomed more Ukrainian refugees than any other country. Polish leaders have made trips to Kyiv and have even addressed Ukraine’s parliament. Anti-Ukrainian activity in Poland is considered fringe.
A tiny ultranationalist party called Konfederacja (Confederation) has been trying to use the refugee issue to gain traction. It has failed.
Poland has been the largest recipient of refugees from Ukraine, millions of whom have crossed its border since Russia’s invasion in February. It is estimated that between 1 and 1.5 million remain in the country, as well as a similar number of Ukrainians who have previously migrated to Poland.
Poles have been overwhelmingly welcoming of the arrivals. A poll in July showed that 77% of the public had been involved in helping refugees, spending around 9-10 billion zloty (€1.93-2.14 billion) out of their own pockets on doing so.
Yep, 77% of the public in Poland have helped the refugees. Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott would find that unfathomable.

Unless Russia abandons its goal of conquering new territory in Ukraine, peace talks have little chance of achieving anything. History shows that appeasement only strengthens and encourages aggressors and that aggressors can be stopped only with force. As the prime minister of Estonia, a frontline NATO country that endured half a century of Soviet occupation, I know what peace on Russia’s terms really means. Russian peace would not mean the end of suffering but rather more atrocities. The only path to peace is to push Russia out of Ukraine.     [ ... ]    What is at stake in Ukraine is not just Ukraine’s existence but Europe’s security architecture, with its core principles of territorial integrity, sovereignty, and prohibition of the use of force. We cannot allow the fundamental principles of the UN Charter and the European security architecture to be trampled underfoot. For that reason, Ukraine must win, the Russian aggressor must fail, and war criminals must face justice. No peace that is reached before these goals are achieved can ensure anyone’s security.
Prime Minister Kaja Kallas of Estonia, at the journal Foreign Affairs. (archived)
Estonian Prime Minister Kallas knows what she’s talking about. Countries next door to Russia have no illusions about the régime there. Often it’s people in the West who know next to nothing about Eastern Europe who are calling for an immediate negotiated settlement. That’s like trying to reach a “compromise” between a serial killer and an intended victim.
Russia has attacked Ukraine despite previous international agreements such as the 1975 Helsinki Accords and the 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances. And let’s not forget the United Nations Charter. Russia isn’t respecting those treaties and so there’s little reason to believe it would follow any new agreements.
Russia has never given up its colonialist and imperialist ambitions. It’s only when it starts acting like a normal 21st century country that there will be lasting peace in Eastern Europe. Leave the idiotic talk of bothsiderism to Elon Musk, “tankies”, and other brainless dupes of Putin. 
Prime Minister Kallas expatiated on the war and Russia’s responsibility for it in this interview on Australia’s ABC.

Monument to the Unknown Russian Looter
The Czech Republic (then part of Czechoslovakia) was colonized by Russian imperialists after World War II. During the occupation which lasted until 1989 the occupiers constructed a lot of Soviet war memorials. The purpose may have been to remind the Czechs of the Soviet military presence in the country.
Most of those monuments are now gone. But some creative Czech artists modified one of the remaining ones to make a statement about the mass looting in Ukraine by Putin’s invaders.
Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is an attempt to restore the Soviet Union of his youth in all but name. People in Eastern Europe have no illusions about Russia.
Americans need to learn a lot more about Eastern Europe so that they understand that Russia is not a normal country and Putin is not a normal leader.

Semi-insane would be treated in a similar way by Trump Republicans.
The Trump administration tried to normalize far right extremism. We need to shift the Overton window back to the area of democratic normalcy.

My #1 post of 2022
Our founders carried muskets, not assault weapons. And I don't think a single one of them would have said you have a constitutional right to an assault weapon with a high capacity magazine — or that that is more important than the right of the people who attended this parade today to live.   So yes, I'm angry. We as a nation deserve better.

17, 18, 19? :)
17. top 5 children’s books?
ah. hmmm. 1) i have forgotten every children's book i've ever read all of a sudden 2) as a kid i read a lot of estonian lit, which is unhelpful. i think i mentioned my fondness for krabat by otfried preussler before, and i think that's my number 1 fave though. it's really stuck with me through the ages
18. do you like historical books? which time period?
sure do! i prefer contemporary-to-that-time-period over historical fiction, usually, but exceptions can be made. anyway 1910s and 1920s is where the party's at, for me, but late 19th century can be pretty fun too.
19. most disliked popular books?
here's a random assortment:
a little life by hanya yanagihara - this is a study in misery, which i don't take issue with as such, but it reaches a point where it just becomes sort of... unintentionally comedic. moreover, i think it's not helped by the fact that the protagonist is beautiful and perfect in literally every way and everyone that isn't cartoonishly evil loves him. oh, and most offensive detail of them all, it's full of pro-contract law propaganda. get the fuck out of here with that!
the charm offensive by alison cochrun - i feel bad for dunking on it, because i really should not have been reading it, as known hater of romance, but 1) i try to keep an open mind 2) i fucking LOVE the bachelor. i had such high hopes for it to be juicy and full of drama and all i got was monologued on why the bachelor is Bad. the main leads had 0 chemistry, the author seemed to be angling for the fake dating trope, but honestly i forgot that it was even there. overall, a really shallow and boring book
the seven husbands of evelyn hugo by taylor jenkins reid - another one i feel bad for not liking. and i think i could have liked it, if i had gone into it with any other expectations. i repeatedly saw it presented as this epic, tragic queer romance of the ages, but it's pretty much just melodrama and celebrity gossip. which i love, but the dissonance was too jarring for me. and again, i just didn't feel the chemistry at all between the two women? the book basically just told us that they were in love over and over again, without really showing why
