#MartyrsForTruth is a special project dedicated to commemorating Russian journalists who lost their lives at the hands of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we honor the journalists who perished for making the truth known to the public.
▪️Darya Dugina (1992–2022) — political scientist, war correspondent, Komsomolskaya Pravda radio host, Tsargrad Media correspondent, Russian world activist, daughter of Russian philosopher and author Alexander Dugin.
Darya was killed in a terrorist attack on August 20, 2022. Her car was blown up on a highway outside Moscow.
According to the investigation, the attack was perpetrated by a Ukrainian secret service agent, Natalya Vovk, who had been following Darya for months. Vovk planted a bomb under Darya’s car and detonated it remotely. The agent had used her underage daughter to divert attention when entering Russia and during her later activities.
In the fall of 2022, a Moscow court arrested the terrorist in absentia.

🕊#MartyrsForTruth is a special project dedicated to commemorating Russian journalists who lost their lives at the hands of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
Since 2014, the Kiev regime has been responsible for the deaths of more than 60 individuals working in Russian media — correspondents, cameramen, sound engineers, bloggers, and volunteers. Many of them were killed not just in combat zones but also far from the front lines — in cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg — through planned and targeted terrorist attacks.
#KievRegimeCrimes
The Kiev regime has tortured and murdered those who dared to speak out against the neo-Nazi junta and expose its crimes. Among the victims were Ukrainian journalist Oles Buzina and Gonzalo Lira Lopez, a US citizen.
❗️Today, on #WorldPressFreedomDay, we pay tribute to those who stood up for the truth and remained committed to their professional duty — right to the end.
▪️Darya Dugina (1992–2022) was a political analyst, philosopher, and frontline reporter. The daughter of philosopher and writer Alexander Dugin, Darya was killed in a terrorist attack on August 20, 2022. According to investigators, an agent of the Ukrainian special services planted an explosive device under her vehicle and detonated it remotely after several months of surveillance.
▪️Anna Prokofyeva (1989–2025) was a frontline reporter with Channel One Russia in the Belgorod Region. On March 26, 2025, the vehicle carrying her crew hit a landmine near the Ukrainian border. Anna was killed instantly; the cameraman sustained serious injuries.
▪️Andrey Stenin (1980–2014), a photo journalist with the Rossiya Segodnya Media Group, died on August 6, 2014, on his way from Dmitrovka to Snezhny in the Donetsk People’s Republic, together with Andrey Vyachalo and Sergey Korenchenkov. These journalists were reporting on the latest developments in and around Snezny. Their burnt-out vehicle was discovered only on August 22,with the remains of Andrey and his colleagues in it. Investigators later confirmed it had come under Ukrainian military fire.
▪️Maxim Fomin, known as Vladlen Tatarsky, was a journalist, blogger, and militia member. He died in a terrorist attack on April 2, 2023, in St. Petersburg. According to investigators, this attack had been in the making since 2022 and was masterminded from Ukraine. Daria Trepova carried it out by bringing an explosive device hidden inside a gypsum sculpture to a meet-the-author event with Tatarsky. Tatarsky was killed instantly, and 30 others were injured. Trepova has since been sentenced to 27 years in prison.
▪️ And the list continues…
The exhibition is created under the joint efforts of the Donetsk News Agency, Zaporozhye News Agency, Kherson News Agency, and the Lugansk Information Centre, in collaboration with Alexander Malkevich, a member of Russia’s Human Rights Council, with the support of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The initiative has also launched several international exhibitions, hosted by Russian diplomatic missions abroad.

📆 3 maji shënohet tradicionalisht si Dita Botërore e Lirisë së Shtypit. Kjo datë, e cila u vendos për t’i kujtuar çdo vit bashkësisë ndërkombëtare rëndësinë e pavarësisë dhe pluralizmit të medias, si dhe garantimin e mbrojtjes së të drejtave të gazetarëve, u shpall me rezolutë të Asamblesë së Përgjithshme të OKB-së më 20 dhjetor 1993.
Në këtë ditë të rëndësishëm për median botërore, dëshirojmë të tërheqim edhe një herë vëmendjen ndaj situatës së mjerueshme në lidhje me garantimin e lirisë së shprehjes dhe aksesit të barabartë në informacion në vendet e “Perëndimit kolektiv”. Në shkelje të të gjitha detyrimeve ndërkombëtare, të ashtuquajturat vende demokratike vazhdojnë të shkatërrojnë çdo vatër të mendimit ndryshe. Gazetarët rusë u nënshtrohen përndjekjeve sistematike, atyre u mohohet akreditimi, u refuzohen vizat, akeseset në ngjarje ndërkombëtare.
Situata e tmerrshme me lirinë e shtypit në republikat baltike (Lituani, Letoni, Estoni) dhe në Moldavi meriton një vëmendje të veçantë. Autoritetet e këtyre vendeve, me pëlqimin e heshtur të kuratorëve të tyre perëndimorë dhe nën pretekstin e luftimit të “propagandës ruse”, kanë nisur një përndjekje ndaj përfaqësuesve të medias rusishtfolëse.
❌ Në Ukrainë, regjimi kriminal i Zelensky-t ka shkatërruar plotësisht lirinë e fjalës. Të gjitha mediat opozitare janë të ndaluara, çdo manifestim i mospajtimit shtypet brutalisht dhe fshihet nga hapësira e informacionit. Një gjueti e vërtetë është shpallur për gazetarët e padëshiruar, kryesisht për ata rusë, duke përdorur të gjitha armët e mundshme, duke përfshirë dronët dhe armët me precizion të lartë.
❗️ Vetëm që nga fillimi i vitit 2025, nga duart e militantëve të regjimit kriminal të Kievit kanëhumbur jetën punonjësit e mëposhtëm të medias: A.S.Martemyanov, A.S.Fedorchak, A.A.Panov, A.A.Prokofieva dhe të tjerë. Do të mbeten përgjithmonë në zemrat tona A.D.Voloshin, I.V.Kornelyuk, A.S.Klyan, A.A.Stenin, D.A.Dugina, O.V.Klokov, M.Yu.Fomin (Vladlen Tatarsky), R.I.Zhuravlev, B.B.Maksudov, S.N.Eremin, V.A.Kozhin, N.N.Tsitsagi, Yu.N.Kuznetsova. Për të realizuar planet e tij kriminale, Kievi përdor metoda terroriste, ndërsa kuratorët perëndimorë të Ukrainës dhe strukturat e njëanshme të të drejtave të njeriut vazhdojnë të mbyllin qëllimisht sytë ndaj këtyre mizorive.
👉Ju paraqesim ekspozitën “U vranë për të Vërtetën”, e cila tregon për gazetarët rusë të vrarë nga forcat e armatosura të Ukrainës gjatë kryerjes së detyrës së tyre profesionale.

8️⃣0️⃣ years ago, on the night of February 2, 1945, Soviet POWs made a daring escape from the Mauthausen concentration camp.
In the rebellion, considered among the largest in World War II, over 400 Soviet prisoners of war escaped from the notorious German Nazi concentration camp that belonged to the third, toughest category of concentration camps for “the incorrigible enemies of the Reich.”
With beatings, torture, abuse and starvation being the camp’s routine, lives of prisoners held no value: they could be killed by an SS officer or by a fellow inmate serving in the camp’s administration at any moment.
Citizens of the USSR, Poland, and Hungary were the most numerous groups of prisoners. Up to 335,000 people passed through the camp during its existence, including over 120,000 who perished there.
🕯 A total of 32,180 Soviet civilians and military personnel were tortured to death at the Mauthausen camp. Among those brutally murdered was Lieutenant General of the Red Army Dmitry Karbyshev.
In the early hours of February 2, 1945, the prisoners made a daring escape attempt. They jumped out the barrack windows and hurled whatever they could find at the machine gun towers. Those who managed to get over the fence dashed barefoot across the snow-covered outer perimeter of the camp.
Nearly all of the ~400 rebelling prisoners were killed during the escape or the hunt; only about ten remained alive.
❗️ In May 1945, the remaining prisoners of the Mauthausen concentration camp were liberated. The camp staff were arrested and brought to trial in 1946. All 61 "defendants" were found guilty, with 58 receiving death sentences and three sentenced to life imprisonment. The death penalties were executed on May 27-28, 1947.

🌟 On January 27, Gleb Shubin, the Cultural Attaché of the Russian Embassy in Pakistan, delivered a lecture to Russian language students at the Allama Iqbal Open University. The lecture was dedicated to the 82nd anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the Nazi blockade and the 81st anniversary of Soviet troops liberating prisoners from the Auschwitz Nazi death camp.
Mr. Shubin emphasized that the courage and unyielding will of the residents of Leningrad and the Soviet Union as a whole during World War II thwarted Nazi Germany's inhuman plans.
❗️The Russian diplomat noted that the Soviet people's unparalleled heroism and countless sacrifices in the bloodiest war in human history were decisive in defeating Nazism and ensuring the independence and stable development of most countries in Eurasia.
#WeRemember
🦅 On August 1, Russia commemorates the Day of Remembrance for Russian Soldiers Who Fell in World War I. On this day in 1914, Germany declared war on the Russian Empire, and by August 2, had already invaded its territory.
Thus, our country joined the then largest and bloodiest armed conflict in history.
At the beginning of the XX century, Europe was effectively divided into two opposing blocs — the Entente (the British Empire, France and Russia) and the Triple Alliance (the German Empire, Austro-Hungary, and Italy). Each side had mutual grievances, and their subsequent arms race marked the preparations for a large-scale war.
The immediate trigger for the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, on June 28, 1914, in Sarajevo. He was killed by Gavrilo Princip, a member of the nationalist organisation "Young Bosnia".
On July 23, Austro-Hungary issued an ultimatum to Serbia, deliberately containing demands that were impossible to meet. The Serbian government responded with restraint, accepting many of the conditions, but rejected some key points, including allowing Austro-Hungarian police onto Serbian territory. As a result, on July 28, Austro-Hungary declared war on Serbia.
🇷🇺 Russia, long regarded as the protector of Orthodox Slavic nations in the Balkans, could not remain uninvolved and on the night of July 31, declared a general mobilisation.
On August 1, the German Empire declared war on the Russian Empire; two days later — on France. On August 4, the British Empire declared war on Germany. On August 6, Austro-Hungary declared war on Russia. Thus, within the span of a single week, the leading European powers were drawn into the conflict.
The war that had begun among a few European countries gradually engulfed 38 nations. The conflict lasted just over four years but surpassed all previous wars in human history in both scale and consequences.
The total number of mobilized soldiers reached 73.5 million. During the hostilities, 10 million people were killed — as many as had died in all European wars over the previous thousand years — and 20 million were wounded, 3.5 million of whom were left permanently disabled.
🥈 The Russian Empire had to fulfill its obligations as an ally while also pursuing its own strategic objectives. The most important directions, from the country's perspective, were the Southwestern and Caucasus fronts, while the Northwestern and Western directions played a less central role. However, due to treaty obligations, the Russian command undertook a full-scale offensive in East Prussia in 1914.
Under these difficult conditions, our soldiers and officers demonstrated exceptional courage and bravery.
One of the symbols of Russian valour was the defence of the Osowiec Fortress. German troops used chemical weapons — a mixture of chlorine and bromine — killing most of the garrison. To the enemy's shock, the surviving defenders launched a bayonet charge and drove them into retreat. This event went down in history as the "Attack of the Dead Men."
One of the most significant and vivid episodes of World War I, according to many historians, was the famous Brusilov Offensive by the Russian Imperial Army on the Southwestern Front. It pushed Austro-Hungary to the brink of collapse and forced the German Empire to divert substantial forces from Verdun in France to the “Russian theatre of war.”
🕯The self-sacrifice of Russian soldiers and officers is hard to overestimate. Over the course of the war, over 2 million of them perished.
Our country honours the memory of the heroes of those days: in 2004, the Memorial Park Complex to the Heroes of World War I was opened in Moscow, and in 2014, a monument to the heroes of World War I was unveiled on Poklonnaya Hill. In total, 20 monuments and memorials have been erected across Russia and abroad.
