NEXTA, an independent news organization which primarily covers Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine reports on Twitter that state-approved Russian media is getting increasingly shambolic and surreal in its explanations for apparent anti-government incidents.

Lenta (Лента.ру) blames the arson of the car of a senior Russian general on a perpetrator who had been kidnapped and hypnotized by Ukraine. 😵‍💫

The Kremlin leadership doesn’t want people to consider that it’s actually Russians who may be engaging in resistance.

The Kremlin claims that the car bomb which killed ultra-nationalist propagandist Darya Dugina was the work of Ukraine. But the FSB’s story claiming it was carried out by a Ukrainian woman in a neon pink hoodie who escaped to Estonia is as laughable as Putin’s pretext for invading Ukraine.

And more recently, Dmitry Litovkin, another pro-Putin propagandist, mysteriously fell ill and died after being placed in an induced coma. He was 51 – not terribly old.

It is not Ukraine but Vladimir Putin who has a long history of killing Russians for his own purposes.

'Putin Has Been Killing His Opponents For Years' Says Wife of Russian Opposition Leader

We can’t say for sure who is responsible for these recent incidents. But there are reports of an anti-Putin National Republican Army active in Russia.

Did Russian resistance kill daughter of Alexander Dugin?

The Tatterflowers have faded from all shops - no harm, no fowl! Eeehee. As for the exchange, why don't we leave that up for the rest of the week? Just in case there are any stragglers who need to collect their last-minute rewards! 

Por Julio Cortázar

La lenta máquina del desamor,

los engranajes del reflujo,

los cuerpos que abandonan las almohadas,

las sábanas, los besos,

y de pie ante el espejo interrogándose

cada uno a sí mismo,

ya no mirándose entre ellos,

ya no desnudos para el otro,

ya no te amo,

Things are going Really Well in Tattered World, everything is Really Fun And Good and definitely no once-defeated tyrants have risen again through the power of a sabotaged ritual to seize and remake the Enchanted Forest,
