  • Yes, one Russian college teacher was fired because he was accused of spreading Russian propaganda (so much for free speech). He wasn’t even allowed to defend himself. The accusation was started by a TV political commentator (absolute clown, claims Putin is far-left), the University fired the teacher and reiterated their support for Ukraine.

    Also yes, we have some Ukronazis in our country. There are also Ukrainians that are pro-Russia, so Ukrainian immigrants are a mixed bag. But the Communist party has been taking a beating in the media. They frequently have to assert that they have no connections to Putin, because news reporters keep asking them the same questions (with obvious malicious intent). This war has been an excuse for rampant anti-communism in the media. Anything goes these days.


  • I’m from Portugal, a country that has no history with either Russia or Ukraine. No one here knows anything about the history of both countries. So it was very surprising, that when this war broke out for there to be an absolute insane support for Ukraine. People here are deluded that Ukraine can still win this war, they have no clue what’s going on in the front lines. Even the tiniest achievement by Ukraine is celebrated by the media. It’s ridiculous how much anti-Russian sentiment there is. Our participation in the war has been pretty much non-existent, so the fanatic support for Ukraine is even more ridiculous.










  • The best VPN service is to create your own. Rent a small cloud server on a far away country, and install Open VPN. This is the best form of secrecy online, that I can think of. Of course, it’s still possible to identify you. But it seems much harder to do so.

    Either your VPN server would need to have it’s connections monitored, or access to logs from the problematic websites would be required. It’s also necessary for the company which is hosting your server to disclose that your VPN server’s IP is associated with you. And even then, if you encrypt everything in it, there is still room for plausible deniability. But all of this, is a much bigger hassle to the authorities than to just use a traditional VPN service.

    With a normal VPN, especially if they have servers in NATO countries, they will provide all logs requested to them and you’re toast. Basically, you’re paying for a false sense of security.
