Azione di protesta delle Pussy Riot davanti al Padiglione della Russia alla Biennale di Venezia: "Il sangue è l'arte della Russia"! Fumogeni, tensioni con la polizia e tentativi di sfondamento. Dopo circa mezz’ora di scontri il gruppo si è allontanato….

una cosa non si è detta abbastanza del raid che ha azzoppato l'aviazione strategica russa: la Russia di oggi non ha più la capacità tecnologica di costruire in serie aerei di trenta anni fa. Questo per chi continua da noi a straparlare di superpotenza russa. E' ormai uno stato fallito.

As a European, this US triumph of white suprematist-eugenicist-oligarchic cruelty feels like a taste of what Germany could be hadn't it decisively repudiated Nazism nor taught its horrors in school for years Plus Nazism lasted only 13 years, while US structural politics of cruelty are centuries old
