This is terror in real time.
Right now, as the world sleeps, Ukraine is under the largest drone assault of the war. Hundreds of Russian Shahed drones are flooding the skies. Sirens scream. Cities shake. Fires rage.
From Kyiv to Lutsk, from Khmelnytskyi to Zaporizhzhia—millions are sheltering in fear.
This is not history.
This is not a headline.
This is happening now.
Do not scroll past it.
Do not look away.

Moscow’s May 9, 2025 Victory Parade: Remembering the Truth Behind the Spectacle
On May 9, Russia will stage its annual Victory Day parade in Moscow’s Red Square — a lavish display of military power wrapped in historical myth. For Vladimir Putin, this is more than a commemoration of WWII’s end: it’s a weapon of memory, used to justify today’s aggression.
1. Russia’s Distorted WWII Narrative
The Kremlin promotes the “Great Patriotic War” as a uniquely Russian triumph over Nazi Germany — erasing uncomfortable facts:
In 1939, the USSR signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with Nazi Germany, jointly invading Poland and launching WWII.
Stalin helped rebuild the German war machine, providing fuel, grain, and raw materials.
Before Germany’s betrayal in 1941, Moscow’s military cooperation enabled Hitler’s early victories in Europe.
2. The True Battlefield: Ukraine
Hitler’s main target in the East was Ukraine, not Russia.
Ukraine suffered two genocidal campaigns: Stalin’s famine in the 1930s and Hitler’s extermination plans.
Over 5–8 million Ukrainian civilians died; millions more were enslaved or died in uniform.
3. Western Support — The Forgotten Contribution
The Soviet Union relied heavily on U.S. and Allied Lend-Lease aid — from tanks to trucks, even uranium.
Without this aid, as Khrushchev admitted, the Soviet advance from Stalingrad to Berlin would have been impossible.
4. Postwar Betrayal and Repression
At Nuremberg, Soviet war crimes were buried to maintain the Allied front.
Western powers forcibly repatriated Soviet refugees under Operation Keelhaul, often condemning them to death or the gulag.
5. Putin’s Victory Day: Past as Political Weapon
Putin uses May 9 to sanctify Russian imperialism and excuse modern-day aggression.
By inviting Western dignitaries, he seeks to legitimize Russia’s narrative and expand influence.
Why This Matters Today
Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova — today’s Kremlin targets — are heirs to the suffering the Soviet Union helped unleash in 1939.
Western leaders must reject participation in Russia’s historical spectacle and stand with the nations once devastated by Moscow’s ambitions.
Remember on May 9: This is not just a parade — it’s a rehearsal for Putin’s bigger geopolitical ambitions.
