50 years ago, the USSR started by imposing the idea “Zionism = racism” on the world, and modern Russia, in alliance with Iran and anti-Israel forces, continues to exploit the same narrative — only under new slogans.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry reminded that on November 10, 1975, the USSR achieved the adoption of Resolution 3379, declaring Zionism a “form of racism”. Today, Russia, relying on Iran and its allies, repeats the same rhetoric under the guise of “fighting Nazism” in Ukraine. 50 Years Later: A Reminder from Israeli Diplomacy On November 10, […]

PRISON AS A ‘BOND’: why ‘Brigade’, ‘Brother’, and ‘A Man’s Word’ explain Russia better than official speeches
Understanding modern Russia through ceremonial formulas, state slogans, and pseudo-historical manifestos has long been impossible.
