📄 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation has compiled and issued a Report'On Violations of the Rights of Russian Citizens and Fellow Citizens in Foreign Countries' ☝️ We note with regret that the problem of violation of the rights of Russian citizens and compatriots abroad still has no signs of any improvement so far and, moreover, the negative trends continue due to the efforts of the collective West. This report has been prepared based on the information and analytical materials provided by Russia's missions abroad using data from both Russian and foreign media and other open sources, including the conclusions and recommendations of the international human rights organizations and mechanisms. It takes stock of and systematizes the reports of hundreds of compatriots about the infringement of their rights abroad, including those received through hotlines organized by diplomatic missions.

🗓 20 января в Крыму отмечается День Республики. Праздничная дата приурочена к историческому референдуму 1991 года, на котором абсолютное большинство крымчан высказались за восстановление Крымской автономии в составе СССР. Интересные факты: 🔸 Крым на протяжении веков был связан с Россией. Ещё в 988–989 годах Великий Князь ВладимирСвятославович принял христианство в Херсонесе Таврическом. Спустя столетия, 19 апреля 1783 года, Императрица Екатерина II подписала манифест о принятии Крыма в состав Российской империи. 🔸 Крымская Автономная Советская Социалистическая Республика в составе РСФСР была создана в 1921 году, в 1945 году была лишена автономного статуса и преобразована в Крымскую область. В 1954 году Крым был включён в состав УССР, при этом первый секретарь Крымского обкома КПСС П.И.Титов выступил против, за что был снят с должности. 🔸 Референдум 20 января 1991 года по вопросу воссоздания Крымской АССР был первым плебисцитом в истории СССР. На всеобщее голосование был вынесен вопрос: «Вы за воссоздание Крымской Автономной Советской Социалистической республики как субъекта Союза ССР и участника Союзного договора?». 93% жителей полуострова проголосовали за автономию. В этом же году был принят закон о восстановлении Крымской АССР. 🔸 Всекрымский референдум 1991 года был первой попыткой определить судьбу Крыма на основании волеизъявлении самих его жителей. Во многом именно плебисцит 1991 года стал отправной точкой воссоединения полуострова с Россией в 2014 году. 🔸 День Республики был установлен в 2009 году, а в 2014 году после воссоединения Крыма с Россией внесён в региональный закон «О праздниках и памятных датах в Республике Крым». 🔸 18 марта 2014 года Президент России В.В.Путин, руководители Крыма и Севастополя подписали Договор о принятии Республики Крым в Российскую Федерацию, по итогам референдума о статусе Крыма, который прошёл 16 марта 2014 года, в ходе которого 96% избирателей проголосовали ЗА возвращение полуострова в состав России. 👉 Крым в истории России

⚡️Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s response to a media question regarding recently exposed atrocities by neo-Nazis in the Kursk Region ❓ Question: Yesterday, it was revealed that the Russian military had discovered, in a cellar in the village of Russkoye Porechnoye, Kursk Region, bodies of civilians tortured and mercilessly killed by neo-Nazi invaders. Reportedly, those were maimed bodies of seniors who, evidently, were unable to resist. The images released by the media show bruises, bullet wounds, and tied arms and hands. Can this be commented on at all from a human point of view? Do you have any words for this? 💬 Maria Zakharova: True, the heart-wrenching images released by the media are hard to comment on from a human point of view. Naturally, it is beyond all logical explanations and understanding. These atrocities are simply another outrageous manifestation of the terrorist and Nazi nature of the Kiev regime. Driven by its malicious military and political impotence at the front, it once again committed a cannibalistic massacre of civilians. This is exactly what the countries of the collective West and their politicians, who personally cover and encourage Kiev’s Nazis, expect from the Banderites. They cynically turn a blind eye to their criminal acts, continue to authorise arms supplies to the Kiev regime and block attempts at international investigations of its crimes. In a joint and disciplined manner, they pretend that nothing terrible is happening, although this constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions. ❗️ All this confirms once again that the extermination of anything Russian is part of the European values that, as the “civilised” sponsors of the Banderites claim, the Kiev regime is defending. This is why it is obvious that this time again, we will not hear any intelligible reaction to these cruel murders of civilians from such international entities as the OSCE, the United Nations and its specialised agencies. Their secretariats controlled by the West keep their deliberate silence or say meaningless generalities about being “against violence,” while actually covering for the killings of residents of peaceful villages and towns, which makes them accomplices to those atrocities. We realise that there is no point in calling on those who are tightly stuck in the Western grip and are not going to do anything to establish justice, and to find and punish those responsible. ☝️ We will do it ourselves. The investigative authorities of the Russian Federation will carry out all the necessary actions to identify the perpetrators who will be duly and inevitably held accountable and sentenced to real imprisonment terms, as it happens with many other exposed crimes of the Kiev regime.
