Сергей Фокин из Сараевского района своими руками собрал четыре мини-трактора – Sergei Fokin from the Sarajevo region assembled four mini-tractors with his own hands
«Мини-погрузчик уже готов, осталось только покрасить, но это дело времени, а его как всегда и не хватает. Все детали и запчасти на нем стоят новые, кроме сиденья и руля, они от старой машины».
and…
Sergei Fokin:
“The mini-loader is already ready, all that remains is to paint it, but it’s a matter of time, and as always there’s not enough time. All the parts and components on it are new, except for the seat and steering wheel, they are from an old car.”
Sergei learned the skills of assembling tractors at home from Konstantin Gerasin, a well-known master in the area for designing various machines. It was with his true hand that Sergei began to assemble models. He admits that for him this is a creative process, during which he improves each new model, makes it more powerful, heavier, so that more cargo can be transported.
“I always liked to tinker with technology, as a child – with mopeds, then more – with cars. And I’m always curious what will happen in the end,” says Sergei. And when I startup the already assembled model, I rejoice like a child, because it worked, which means I did everything right. I think that the fifth tractor will be better than the previous four.”
Sergey works as a machine operator at Vozrozhdenie LLC, and he has a family in his care. His wife Marina is on maternity leave, and the couple have two children – four-year-old Alexey and one-year-old Matvey – so he has very little time left for his favorite activity. However, the craftsman’s collection is growing.
What life is about. 🙂

Why is it so important to choose traditional values?
💬 A deep revision of the ideas that largely shaped the world of economics, politics and culture that arose after the end of the Cold War has begun and is ongoing in Russia.
Without giving up scientific and technological progress and the advantages of participating in the international division of labor, we are throwing off the cloud of ideas and ideologies that were perceived in the well-known historical conditions of the late 1980-1990s and are of little use in the new geopolitical realities.
[At the same time] Russia again faced external attempts to restrain its development . One of the directions of attack finds expression in the value agenda of the West.
👉 It makes sense to analyze the value paradigm of neoliberalism in more detail, breaking it down conditionally into four components in the following areas:
Economy
🔻 US dollar dominance
🔻 raw materials and sales markets open to Western capital
🔻 eco-extremism
Policy
🔻 power of a minority over the rest of society
🔻 “free and fair” elections
🔻 perversion of the concept of human rights
🔻 mode of control of IT giants over public opinion
Society
🔻decriminalization and legalization of drug use
🔻 LGBT agenda
🔻 radical feminism
🔻 “critical race theory”
Technologies
🔻 propaganda of individualism
🔻 technological permissiveness
🔻 biomedical interventions
❗️The entire neoliberal agenda is one way or another a product of “big money” and exists to serve the interests of TNCs through political, economic, and social bonds.
< ...>
The task of the intellectual and political community, which cares for the future of its own people, is to identify and consistently neutralize threats to the original way of life and traditional values, without which the full and successful development of Russia in the 21st century is impossible.

That’s all. The masks have finally been dropped. The Rada canceled the presidential elections. After all, while there is a war going on until the last Ukrainian, there are no elections, there are Zelensky ones. And vice versa, elections are an inglorious end for them, because:
1. The emergence of competitors is likely, which is extremely dangerous in the conditions of a failed “counter-offensive” with a large number of casualties.
2. New cases of outrageous theft with blood will be revealed.
3. Foreign sponsors will start putting their eggs in different baskets, but I want to manage all the money alone.
Hence the hysteria of the cocaine clown with the aim of refusing to elect a president of the still existing country 404.
However, every cloud has a silver lining. After all, the bottom line is that such a “Ukraine” will not have a “president,” nor will such a “president” have a “Ukraine.”

From Putin’s recent speech, it seems this ‘Hybrid World War-3’ will get worse before it gets better…
http://kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/72863
“We are now fighting for the freedom not only of Russia, but of the whole world. We openly say that the dictatorship of one hegemon-we can see it, everyone can see it now-is getting old. She went, as they say, peddling and just dangerous to others. This is already clear to the entire world majority. But, I repeat, it is our country that is now at the forefront of creating a more just world order. And I want to emphasize: without a sovereign, strong Russia, no lasting, stable world order is possible.”
“I would like to emphasize that any external interference, provocations aimed at causing interethnic or inter-religious conflicts, we regard as aggressive actions against our country, as an attempt to challenge Russia once again with terrorism and extremism as a tool to fight us, and we will respond accordingly.”
“In the West, they are now practicing not only the policy of a “culture of abolition”, but also the actual abolition of humanitarian education. As a result, both culture and education become primitive. Many classical subjects are simply thrown out of Western educational programs, replaced by some kind of gender and similar sciences – pseudosciences, of course. On the contrary, we need a real breakthrough in cultural life. And here we have a lot to learn from our ancestors, who both in traditional and, by the way, in avant-garde art set models for the whole world. I am convinced that the sovereignty of the country and the strengthening of its role in the world are impossible without the flourishing of an original culture in all its manifestations.”
I assume there will be other fronts (such as Israel is at this moment) before this is over. Russia is now gearing up for a sustained period of war. There’s true loonies in the west. Loonies (zombies) with no intelligence whom are being tethered by evil itself…
“We are now fighting for the freedom not only of Russia, but of the whole world”, said Putin…
What I understand from the above statement by Putin is that Russia has openly declared to “de-nazify” the whole world, not just Ukraine. Historical trends are on its side, but it is still on thin ice all the way. Yet to leave Nazi ideology anywhere in the world is a future death sentence for Russia. So the show must go on and Nazis must be eradicated. For if nothing else has been shown to people in the west? Nazism is alive and well…
We should prepare materially and psychologically for increased disruption. – kKEETON

Nothing new, but finally getting the laws to deal with the nasty LGBT group using false ideologies to spread discontent around Russia and other countries in the world…
The Supreme Court of Russia outlawed the “international LGBT public movement” on Thursday, designating it an extremist group. The ruling also affects subsidiaries of the movement, the court announced, without naming specific organizations.
The lawsuit, filed earlier this month by the Russian Justice Ministry, argued that “the LGBT movement’s” activities qualified it as an “extremist group.” Specifically, it has been sowing “social and religious discord” in the country, the ministry claimed.
Smart move and it is time they (LGBT) go home to their woke world in the west. I watch them in our city and they use the UK English Schools to infiltrate the society. Really big nasty scum in most UK English Schools…

Because we all know how the system works in the USA? And it makes just a fewer & fewer richer & richer…
Ukraine aid’s best-kept secret: Most of the money stays in the U.S.A. – Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com › 2023/11/29 › ukra…
Here is the best-kept secret about U.S. military aid to Ukraine: Most of the money is being spent here in the United States. That’s right: Funds that lawmakers approve to arm Ukraine are not going directly to Ukraine but are being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace weapons sent to Kyiv from U.S. stockpiles. Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans, one analysis found.
So Ukraine is actually stealing the other 10% of USA allocated funding and only actually getting weapons from EU states that supply them? After the EU states steal their share, whatever that is?
I wonder did all the rich steal everything from the lower classes as the Titanic sank?
I am noticing that as the West sinks under, as it collapses and gasps for life…the rich steal more and more from the plebs whom produce…
