ZIL 112, 1951. A Soviet Russian racing car from their the Likhachev plant , which was also responsible for making government limousines. The race car was nick-named  “cyclops” because of its single central headlamp. The car's fibreglass bodywork imitated the GM La Sabre dream car designed by Harley Earl in 1950. It was powered by a ZIL V8 engine modified for racing

Человеку надо совсем немного: чтобы тишина на сердце была, под ногами клочок луга, над головой кусочек неба синего и чтобы обязательно было с кем поделиться — и печалью, и радостью… /Виктор Лихачев

What a man needs is a little silence in his heart, a patch of meadow underfoot, a piece of blue sky above his head. Аnd to have someone to share both sorrow and joy with…. /Viktor Likhachev

Se lavori, ma il tuo stipendio copre solo l'acquisto di cibo, vestiti, alloggio e servizi comunali, il prezzo del tuo lavoro è uguale al prezzo del lavoro di uno schiavo.

The Azov Regiment is frequently invoked to conjure what Russian-Israeli historian Vyacheslav Likhachev calls the “myth [of] Ukrainian fascism”, and many Western press sources in 2022 continue to treat the association between “Azov Regiment/Battalion” and “Neo-Nazi” as axiomatic, with some even attempting to draw unsubstantiated links between Azov and white supremacist terrorists in the West.

Multiple expert assessments made in 2022 conclude the modern Azov Regiment is a fairly typical fighting unit, with little, if any, political bent.

The Azov Regiment of 2022 bears little relation to the ragtag militia the Azov Battalion of 2014, formed from a few dozen football hooligans, and – yes – far-right extremists.

Crucially, in late 2014, Azov was absorbed into the Ukrainian National Guard, allowing greater state oversight, with considerable attention paid to cleansing the ranks of far-right elements, in what should be recognised as an example of successful deradicalisation.

The Azov-Nazi obsession demonstrates a remarkable failure to engage with Ukrainian sources, including the experiences of its Jewish community, which has long been scathing of the Russian claim that neo-Nazim is widespread in Ukraine.

Anti-Semitism has little resonance even among more extreme Ukrainian nationalist elements, while polling demonstrates that Ukraine is among the least anti-Semitic and xenophobic countries in central-east Europe.Read more: Putting Putin’s false history of Ukraine into perspective

Ironically, neo-Nazi military units with thousands of soldiers under arms operate openly among the invading Russian forces.

OTD in Music History: Composer, conductor, and pianist Sergei Prokofiev (1891 - 1953) is born in what is now Ukraine. Prokofiev's amazingly charmed early life in Imperial Russia was almost a mirror image of his final miserable years, which were spent suffering under Stalin's repressive Soviet regime. Recognized as a child prodigy from a very early age, Sergei Taneyev (1856 - 1915) arranged for the young Prokofiev to spend the Summer of 1902 studying privately with Reinhold Gliere (1875 - 1956). Further lessons with Gliere followed the next year, and then in 1904 Prokofiev traveled with his mother to St. Petersburg to meet Alexander Glazunov (1865 - 1936), who was a professor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Glazunov urged Prokofiev's mother enroll Prokofiev at the Conservatory right away, even though he was still several years younger than most of his classmates. She accepted this invitation, and while there, Prokofiev studied under Anatoly Lyadov (1855 - 1914) for harmony and counterpoint, Nikolai Tcherepnin (1873 - 1945) for conducting, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844 - 1908) for orchestration. Prokofiev ultimately finished his years of schooling by entering the so-called "battle of the pianos": a highly cutthroat competition open to the five best piano students at the Conservatory, for which the grand prize was a beautiful grand piano. Prokofiev won -- by performing *his own* recently composed 1st Piano Concerto. Soon thereafter, Prokofiev journeyed on to London, where his nascent professional career was jumpstarted by legendary impresario Sergei Diaghilev (1872 - 1929) and his famous "Ballets Russes"… PICTURED: A photograph showing the young Prokofiev at the piano, which he signed and inscribed to a fan in Cyrillic (translated: “To A.A. Likhachev from SPKRF”) in 1927 during his historic return to Russia on his first concert tour of the Soviet Union.

Hungary exits Russian 'spy bank' after US sanctions

Hungary quits IIB Bank after US sanctions

The Hungarian government decided to exit the Russia-controlled International Investment Bank (IIB) after the United States imposed sanctions on three senior officials of the financial institution. Russian nationals Nikolay Kosov, the bank's former chairman, Georgy Potapov, and Imre Laszloczki a Hungarian citizen, were named on the sanctions list.

Before Budapest's decision the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and Romania have already quit or started the withdrawal process from the bank that is often referred to as Moscow's trojan horse' in the European Union.

US Ambassador David Pressman held a press conference on Wednesday where he announced the sanctions. "The presence of this opaque Kremlin platform in the heart of Hungary threatens the security and sovereignty of the Hungarian people, their European neighbors, and their NATO allies," Pressman said. “Unlike other NATO allies, Hungary has dismissed the concerns of the United States government regarding the risks its continued presence poses to the alliance,” the ambassador added.

Pentagon leaks: Orban called the U.S. one of his main adversaries

Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban was also mentioned in the recently leaked CIA assessment. Orban reportedly called the US one of the top three adversaries of his party. According to the leaked document the comment was made during a Fidesz parliamentary meeting in February. The leaked CIA document states that Orbán’s statement “constitutes an escalation of the level of anti-American rhetoric in his discourse.”

Relations between Washington and Budapest are tense, many because of Orban's close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin.  Hungary was the only EU member state without an invite to US President Joe Biden's Summit for Democracy last month.

Hungary signs new energy deal with Russia 

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto signed new agreements in Moscow to ensure Hungary's continued access to Russian energy. The Hungarian FM met Russian Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Alexander Novak and Alexey Likhachev, chief executive of Rosato, AP reports. Szijjarto said Russian state energy company Gazprom had agreed to allow Hungary, if needed, to import quantities of natural gas beyond the amounts agreed to in a long-term contract that was amended last year. 

Szijjarto is one of the only EU officials that have met Russian officials in Moscow since Russia invaded Ukraine. “As long as the issue of energy supply is a physical issue and not a political or ideological one, like it or not, Russia and cooperation with Russia will remain crucial for Hungary’s energy security,” Hungary's top diplomat said. 

Belarusian Foreign Minister holds talks with Szijjarto in Hungary

On Tuesday, Belarusian Foreign Minister Sergei Aleinik arrived in Hungary, to meet with Minister of Agriculture István Nagy and Minister of Foreign Affairs Peter Szijjarto. Szijjarto has just arrived back from Moscow where he sealed new energy deals with Russia, despite EU criticism. Alenik took part in an intergovernmental meeting where economic cooperation was discussed between the two countries.

In March the European Parliament adopted a resolution that underlines the importance of strengthening EU unity concerning Belarus, including the diplomatic isolation of the current regime.  The resolution includes a paragraph on Szijjártó's recent trip to Minsk.
