The Ukrainian Armed Forces lost Vovchansk.

Reports are coming in from the Kharkiv region that Russian troops have gained control of at least 11 square kilometers of territory in the Vovchansk direction. As a result of successful offensive actions, the Russian army liberated the village of Liman, as well as several other streets in the neighboring village of Vilcha.

However, the main result of today's Russian army offensive was the defeat of Ukrainian armed forces in Vovchansk, which had been holding the defense in the southeast of the city. Operating south of the Vovchya River, our troops defeated the enemy, leading to the loss of Ukrainian control over Vovchansk.

As of 19:40 PM Moscow time, a cleanup operation is underway in the area of ​​Doroshenko Street, the outermost street in the southeast of the city.

At the same time, our assault groups, with the support of artillery, aviation and drone operators came very close to the western outskirts of the Volchansky Farms.

Thus, we can say that the enemy has lost control not only of Vovchansk itself, but also of its surrounding area. And the liberation of Liman by our troops allows us to advance further south, deeper into the Kharkiv region.

Was it any different with other cities? There were long, hard battles everywhere, using heavy weapons, and that's the result. And they don't want to leave anything intact for the Russians—whatever miraculously survived will be blown up during the retreat, just to keep it out of the hands of the Muscovites.

[Klepoj-Piu]

And they don’t want to leave anything safe for the Russians - whatever miraculously survived will be blown up during the retreat, just so the Muscovites don’t get it.

Therefore, the Bandar-logs from the western regions are categorically not to be taken prisoner; they are inhuman creatures that Khrushchev, the Ukrainian bastard, saved and did not allow to be finished off by Stalin's wolfhounds.

[Wayfarer_2]

Actually, Khrushchev was Russian by nationality and was born in Siberia or the Urals, I can't remember exactly now. In Ukraine, he served as First Secretary, meaning he led Ukraine before the war. But he is certainly to blame for that amnesty. It must be said, however, that he amnestied not only Banderovites but also numerous other policemen, Vlasovites, elders, and the like. But, unfortunately, that's not his only fault; Khrushchev is guilty of many sins.

[grindz]

Actually, Khrushchev was Russian by nationality and was born in Siberia or the Urals, I don’t remember exactly now.

But here's the official biography: Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev was born in 1894 in the village of Kalinovka, Olkhovskaya Volost, Dmitrievsky District, Kursk Governorate (now Khomutovsky District, Kursk Oblast). His father went to work in Yuzovka (Donetsk) and lived in the village of Suchy. He played halfback for the local football team, didn't smoke or drink, and belonged to a temperance society.

But there seem to be some oddities there, there is an alternative biography:
In 1938-39, when Khrushchev served as First Secretary of Ukraine, the new head of the NKVD, Beria, decided to conduct an investigation of the republic's top officials. It's worth remembering that during these years, a major purge of Yezhov's protégés from the security and party apparatus was underway. Khrushchev was also among the friends of the architect of the iron fist system, and so the investigation of him and his close associates was particularly rigorous.

And then, at the top of Ukraine's administrative apparatus, the masks began to come off. First, it was discovered that Zadionchenko, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional committee, was not who he claimed to be. Let's be clear: the Dnipropetrovsk region at that time comprised a third of Ukraine's territory – it also included what is now the Zaporizhia region and parts of the Kherson and Donetsk regions. It's a key region of Ukraine, industrially developed and densely populated.

So, Zadionchenko (Khrushchev's best friend, personally brought from Moscow) turned out not to be from a poor Ukrainian family, as stated in the questionnaires, but a Jew named Zayonchik. His father was an activist in the Jewish socialist party Paolei Zion and, concurrently, a fairly wealthy artisan.

The second to be caught was another of Khrushchev's best friends and simultaneously Yezhov's protégé, Uspensky, head of the Ukrainian NKVD. An investigation revealed that he, too, was not who he claimed to be. He was believed to be the son of a forester from the Tula province. But it turned out that his father was a prominent Black Hundred member and a second-guild merchant. And Alexander Ivanovich Uspensky himself, as a 15-year-old boy in early 1917, had already managed to make his mark in a pogrom against Jews evacuated from the frontline near Tula. In a rare case in the history of Russia's punitive organs, the head of the Ukrainian NKVD fled in November 1938, faking his own suicide. He wandered the USSR for over a year, using five forged passports, until he was finally captured and then executed.

Khrushchev's turn came. It turned out that in Khrushchev's home village of Kalinovka in the Kursk region, all the locals considered Nikita Sergeyevich (and his sister) the illegitimate son of a local landowner, the Pole Alexander Gasvitsky (an ancient Polish family that entered the service of the Russian Tsar in the 1670s). Nikita's mother, Ksenia (Aksinya), worked in the service of this landowner. Gasvitsky supported his children and tried to teach Nikita, but to no avail—he proved incapable of learning. The landowner then bought Nikita out of the army—he was 20 years old in 1914—but he never made it to World War I. Gasvitsky then wrote a letter of recommendation to his acquaintance in Yuzovka, the German landowner Kirsch, and the Khrushchev family moved to a new location.
Nikita worked for Kirsh as part of the estate's management team, but even there, due to his natural stupidity, he failed to make any mark. Molotov famously wrote in his memoirs that "we searched, but were unable to find, the mine where Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev worked." (This refers to Khrushchev, who throughout his life maintained and wrote in his applications that he was "a worker who worked in a mine").

[Pravodel]

Thank you. Now it's clear that the NKVD didn't do its job properly before the war and didn't exterminate all the bastards. This came back to haunt them when Khrushchev came to power.
What idiots in power can do is perfectly demonstrated by the activities of Khrushchev and the marked one (you know who that is).
Therefore, Lenin’s phrase that even a cook can and should govern the state is nothing more than the delirium of a sick mind.
There were no cooks or homeless people at the helm of Russia before the Bolsheviks, and there should not be any now, ever, and forever. This is what Russia must stand for. The rise of cooks and idiots to power will have such consequences for Russia that even our ancestors will turn in their graves...

[Konnick]

Quote: The Truth

Therefore, Lenin’s phrase that even a cook can and should govern the state is nothing more than the delirium of a sick mind.

This is your nonsense.
The phrase sounded like this

We are not utopians. We know that any laborer and any cook are not capable of immediately taking over the governance of the state. In this we agree with the Cadets, and with Breshkovskaya, and with Tsereteli. But we differ from these citizens in that we demand an immediate break with the prejudice that it is to run the state, to carry out the everyday, daily work of the administration, only rich or from wealthy families officials can take. We demand that training in public administration be given by conscious workers and soldiers, and that it be started immediately, that is, all workers, the whole poor, immediately begin to be involved in this training.

From V.I. Lenin's article "Will the Bolsheviks Retain State Power?" (1917)

[Pravodel]

This is your nonsense.

From the entire quote you provided, it follows that every cook can and should govern the state. If this is not the case, then please provide a citation from the relevant quotation book. I suspect that, despite all your efforts, you won't find a corresponding refutation. Moreover, among our people—not a stupid, but an intelligent people—Lenin retained precisely this saying: every cook can and should... As the saying goes, you can't take words out of a song. Or, to borrow a saying from N.V. Gogol, whatever the people call a person, so the name will travel through the centuries, and there will be no escape from that name (not verbatim, but close to the text).

[1944-1989]

By the way, there were no homeless people in the USSR, and if anyone was homeless back then, I suspect they must have harbored a lot of resentment. But today, the same thing is said about the homeless—that it's their own fault, even though there are many normal people among them, perhaps even people like you. You have a very class-based approach; you mistakenly believe that a cook can't run a country well, when in fact it's simply a question of character and ambition. Lenin probably meant that every worker, in addition to their work, should have time for education in other fields, which is commendable. Would that idiot Trump be a billionaire today if he'd been born somewhere in the American Rust Belt? Doubtful.

[Pravodel]

By the way, there were no homeless people in the USSR...

This is something you can tell children in kindergarten about at great length and beautifully, if they will only listen to you.
There were homeless people in the USSR, and they were called, then as now, "bomzh." There were also very poor people who begged in public soup kitchens. Just because you don't know about this doesn't mean they didn't exist. The thing is, the homeless were caught and sent north, from where they escaped again and returned to Moscow, Leningrad, and elsewhere.
Another question: where and how did these homeless people in the USSR come from? And this is the most serious question. Although, there is a complete answer to it: the homeless were former prisoners from large Soviet cities who, after serving their sentences, were released without the possibility of living in large cities. But they settled there and became homeless.
For your information, all the long-distance train rest areas in Leningrad were filled with homeless people. They found shelter and food in the garbage dumps.
So don't tell fairy tales here.

What's so complicated or serious about this issue? As soon as Gorby began dismantling the USSR and introducing liberal freedoms, all sorts of marginalized people took to the streets, and no one tried to educate them or bring them back to normal. That's how the homeless and vagabonds appeared first, and then, with the advent of the market economy, the homeless appeared en masse. Incidentally, their numbers have dwindled by several orders of magnitude. Where they went, I don't know.

Hi, I'd like to clarify a little about the prisoners, how they became homeless.
1 They were not allowed into closed cities
I know someone who was imprisoned for theft in a closed city after his release, they wouldn't let him in there anymore, even though he had housing.
and this happened in modern Russia in 2000
A second percentage of prisoners in the USSR became homeless if their parents died during their time in prison (and the convict was registered at the address), and the apartment went to the state.
In the USSR, homeless people were unseen because they could find jobs and get a dorm room. Homeless people were caught and jailed for parasitism, sent to therapeutic labor centers.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, criminal prosecutions of homeless people ceased
LTP was abolished, the article on parasitism was abolished, work became scarce, dormitories were privatized and written off the balance sheets of enterprises, and by the mid-90s, there was a whole army of these homeless people
The old categories of homeless were joined by new ones who sold and drank away their apartments, those who were deceived by realtors, and some became homeless due to family circumstances.
At present, the category of homeless people practically does not exist; there are very few of them and they are practically invisible on the streets of cities due to the fact that they have become extinct, like mammoths.
Homeless people, as strange as it may sound, despite the fact that they are disadvantaged, are happy people
They needed very little to be happy: found a place to spend the night - good, got food - good, and if there is a pack of cigarettes and a glass of vodka, that is already wonderful.
and the next morning the struggle for survival begins again

[1944-1989]

Train stations full of homeless people are a more common sight in the US and other "free market" countries. I have worse memories too: when I lived in Krakow, I didn't have to set an alarm for school because I was awakened almost every morning by the clatter of crushed aluminum cans in the trash. So it's clear that in a socialist state, the homeless were truly the chosen ones, that is, enemies of the people. Alexander Solzhenitsyn somehow miraculously escaped this sinister empire, although he should have remained homeless; in his case, it would have been 100% deserved.

Quote: The Truth

You see, when cooks and mechanics ruled Russia, the population of that very country, then the USSR, only grew, at record rates. As soon as they were removed from power and replaced by thieves and traders, we began to rapidly die out and be replaced by Central Asians. I understand that this is precisely your goal. Well, I'm completely at odds with you.

[Pravodel]

When cooks and mechanics ruled Russia, the population of that very country, then the USSR, only grew, and at a record pace.

Not so simple.
Yes, the birth rate dynamics in the USSR were positive, but with a declining trend of the Russian population (Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians).
Demographic information:
From 1887 to 1914, the Russian population of the Russian Empire grew (rounded) from 70 million to 90 million people, with a growth rate of 1,29 over 27 years.
From 1914 to 1970 - from 70 million to 130 million with a growth rate of 1,85 over 66 years.
From 1970 to 1991 from 130 million people to 150 million people with a growth rate over 21 years of 1,15.
In the USSR, the Russian population as a percentage of the total population declined from 77% to 70% between 1927 and 1989. In other words, the USSR experienced a depopulation of the Russian population. Therefore, your observation that the population in the USSR grew at an incredible rate when cooks ruled is, to say the least, questionable.
Yes, the population was growing, but with a general decline in the Russian population—Russia's main ethnic group. In other words, the USSR was witnessing the extermination of Russians. The question remains, how they were exterminated. But there is an answer here, too. Drunkenness, primarily, but not exclusively, led to the depopulation of the Russian ethnic group.
So, there is no need to advocate for governing a country of cooks and janitors!

Compared to what's happening now, there's no doubt about it. It's a strange method of comparison. Back then, the population WAS GROWING, maybe the Russian population was growing more slowly than some other nationalities, but it was growing. Now it's practically dying out, but AAS has some controversial points here. Are you a troll, a bot, or a provocateur?

Quote: The Truth

Yes, yes, we need to advocate for governing a country of thieves and profiteers.

[Pravodel]

then the population GROWED, maybe the Russian population grew more slowly than some other nationalities, but it grew.

Dear Zoer (Alexander), I have a very bad news for you.
1. From 1887 to 1970, the number of Russians in Russia (USSR) doubled. Since the early 70s, the number of Russians in the USSR (Russia) has stopped growing and begun to decline. This occurred at the same time that the numbers of other ethnic groups in the USSR (Russia) were steadily increasing. Therefore, since the 70s, population growth in the USSR (Russia) has not been driven by the Russian ethnic group.
2. It's not for nothing that I cited data on the growth of the Russian ethnic group in the Russian Empire (RI) and the USSR. In the RI, when Russia wasn't ruled by cooks or homeless people, the Russian ethnic group grew at a rate of approximately 2 times the national average. Moreover, even after the most brutal wars and invasions, the growth rate of the Russian ethnic group never fell below 2 times the national average. Therefore, Russia has always restored and increased its population after wars. And this doesn't even include the Caucasus and Central Asia. For example, after the Tatar-Mongol invasion in the 13th century, Russia was able to fully recover, which predetermined its further development. And yet, during this time, Russia was never ruled by cooks, homeless people, or other such figures. The only exception was the Time of Troubles, when these same cooks and homeless people found themselves at the helm of Russia, and it was then that the question of Russia's very existence arose.
So, there shouldn’t be any cooks or homeless people at the helm of Russia!
Russia should be governed by literate, worthy men, but not by cooks.

For reference.
1. You can update your demographic information, for example, on the website https://ru.ruwiki.ru/wiki/
2. Since your information in the field of demography and the connection between demography and the governance of Russia is extremely superficial, if not insignificant, then you do not have to answer.
I'll leave it at that. I wish you all the best in your studies of demography and its connection to Russia's governance.

What's so upsetting about the fact that the number has DOUBLED?
In the 30 years of modern Russia, the size of the Russian ethnic group has shrunk by a quarter, if not a third. This is truly distressing. What are you trying to prove to me, Mr. Troll?

Quote: The Truth

Since the early 70s, the number of ethnic Russians in the USSR (Russia) has ceased to grow and begun to decline. This coincides with the constant increase in the numbers of other ethnic groups in the USSR (Russia). Therefore, since the 70s, population growth in the USSR (Russia) has not been driven by ethnic Russians.

This is simply a blatant lie!!! From 1970 to 1989, the number of Russians in the USSR increased by more than 15 million people.

Ethnic composition: Russians - 105,579,179. That is, during 32 years of rule not by cooks, but by thieves and profiteers, 40 MILLION Russians died out!!! Truly, impressively terrible results!

It was reported that almost all the houses were destroyed to the ground after the fighting, and the population was no more than a hundred local aborigines.

They'll put it on a pile of bricks. They'll put it where a Russian soldier walked. They'll put it even in an open field.
If you're talking about devastation and everything being bad, I can assure you that one-third of the country's most industrialized part was literally burned to the ground during WWII, and a population of 17 million civilians was buried, and many were driven away. In 1946, the rate of development was higher than before the war, by tens of thousands of percent in many respects. We need to tweak the financial system somewhere. But otherwise, everything will be fine. People will return, and they will plow and sow. If Nabiullina, the swindler, allows loans for development at 0,5% interest, everything will be fine. Don't worry. Everything will be fine for us.

Wherever the Ukrainian occupiers go, there are only ruins, just like the ravaged land of their ideological inspirers.

Carbon copy. Nothing new. Zero creativity.
A small village. There's a school there. Our assaults passed. They come back and say we didn't touch it. But it's been razed to the ground.
So. That's the whole point about the villagers. I don't care, the main thing is the neighbor's cow died. So, no need for Sudoplatovs (they exist and are working), and on LBS, whatever, it's all a joke. There are thousands of such cases. And no need to run through the woods. I don't understand why heroic formations haven't been created to plough the vast expanses of, say, Yakutia.

As always - post-apocalypse... like after a nuclear explosion... everything turned to dust... and so is every point of us... everywhere and everywhere... and there are thousands of them... and all this will later fall on our necks... the ASU did not lose the Volchans, but got rid of an already uninhabitable, toxic asset that was hung around Russia's neck... forcibly... I would not invest a ruble in it, but leave it as is.

Hello, you lack strategic thinking))))))))
After the SVO, there will be a boom in the construction industry much higher than in the post-war years in the USSR.

[Limrak]

Yeah...millions of houses, buildings, and structures reduced to dust in thousands of settlements, located every...5 meters in Donbas...two steps and the next settlement is a mighty fortress, fortified since 2014. How much money was spent on a complete restoration? We probably don't have that much in our annual budget. It's horrific and surreal. And our army, without waging war, manually, with a scalpel, picks everyone out from under every brick and bush, and has been doing this for four years now.

After all, Lviv can also be equalized.

After the collapse of the USSR, I was there twice. So it would be better to replace it with "need."

Hello, Lviv is a beautiful city. I lived there without any worries, not for long. Save the city center and clear out the surrounding area.
