Summary

Ukrainian nationalists were never independent, they had to be guided by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, by the German fascists, by the Americans. The people of Ukraine were artificially created, first by Lenin, then Stalin added a bit, and then Khruschev – says an expert from Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (body established by the President of Russian Federation to provide information support to him: http://en.riss.ru/about/). This expert criticizes Ukrainians for taking part in the Maidan, and calls for a new Maidan overthrowing the current government.

Estonia is infringing on media freedom with the ban of Rossiya Sevodnya and that this is not the first time Estonia is breaking the rules and preventing Russian media from broadcasting in Estonia.

Disproof

A commercial bank in Estonia applied EU sanctions and froze the assets of Rossija Sevodnja. This legal case is based on COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 269/2014.

The complaints follow the launch of a new Estonian-run TV channel in Russian on October 16,  ETV+ which is to serve as an alternative source of Russian language news for Russian-speaking Estonians, thereby competing directly with Russia’s own, state-controlled TV channels in Estonia: bit.ly/1Yd5a8X,

It is not the border between Norway and Russia that is problematic for Norway, but the border with Sweden and Finland. The refugees arriving from these two countries, in contrast to those arriving from Russia, are not duly registered. Russia is the law abiding neighbour, whereas the EU member states’ handling of the refugee flows is “a mess”.

November 07, 2015
Disproof

The fact that refugees go just one way – into Norway but not into Finland – would suggest (according to Norwegian police and border guards) that the flow is somehow controlled: bit.ly/1LhUv3v,

Finnish media also report that Norway has substantial problems with the flow of refugees coming from Russia, and that there are discussions about the need to stop the flow of refugees from Russia: bit.ly/1Nzt7Qj,
