La OTAN le marcó un gol decisivo a la URSS en 1975 con la CSCE de Helsinki a la hora de definir los “derechos humanos” excluyendo todos los económicos. En 2026 la definición de “terrorismo” de Occidente ya no la compra nadie del Sur Global.

3/ 05.12.1994 CSCE meeting in Budapest. Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear weapons in return for security guarantees. Yeltsin rejects NATO enlargement. It is not until 1997 that Russia gives up its opposition to NATO's eastward expansion through the NATO-Russia Founding Act.

La designación como terroristas a Palestine Action revela el carácter moldeable del concepto de terrorismo por parte del poder imperial, que sí es intrínsecamente terrorista. Precisamente la exclusión del terrorismo de estado provocó el fracaso en consensuar una definición precisa de lo que es terrorismo en los intentos llevados a cabo. Ese carácter difuso del concepto de terrorismo es extremadamente útil para el imperio, y su maleabilidad opera en direcciones de ida y vuelta, por ejemplo con el líder de Al Qaeda instalado en Damasco, pasando de tener una recompensa de 10 M$ a ser reconocido internacionalmente como presidente de Siria.

What about Russia? Russia is considered highly corrupt by global standards, both in everyday life and at the top of the political system.[1][2][3] ## Global indices and rankings On Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (0 = highly corrupt, 100 = very clean), Russia scores about 22 points, which is extremely low.[2][1] This places it in the bottom tier worldwide: around 154–157th out of roughly 180 countries in recent editions, its worst position since the index exists.[4][5][1][2] By comparison, most EU states are in the top half of the ranking, and even the worst‑performing EU member (currently Hungary) still sits far above Russia.[6] This gap reflects a perception that Russia’s public sector is significantly more corrupt than that of almost all European countries.[1][6] ## Everyday and administrative corruption Surveys cited by Transparency International indicate that over a quarter of Russian users of public services report paying a bribe within a 12‑month period.[1] Research and reporting describe bribes and “gifts” as routine in areas like healthcare, education, traffic policing, and licensing, effectively making corruption part of normal daily interaction with the state.[7][6] Such practices mean that access to services often depends more on informal payments and personal connections than on formal rights.[8][7] This also creates a regressive burden, as poorer citizens feel pressure to pay or risk losing access or facing harassment.[7][8] ## Systemic and political corruption Analyses from academic and policy sources describe corruption in Russia as systemic and “top‑down,” closely tied to the nature of the Putin regime.[3][9][10] Instead of competing oligarchs, many experts see a patronage network where political and business success depends on personal loyalty to the president and his inner circle.[9][3] This manifests in misuse of public funds, favoritism in state contracts, selective law enforcement, and the use of the judiciary and security services to protect loyalists and punish opponents.[10][3][9] Scholars also link this corruption with the suppression of political dissent and the erosion of democratic institutions, arguing that corruption is not a side‑effect but a core feature of the current system.[9][10] ## Impact on war and economy Transparency International and other analysts argue that corruption within the defense sector has undermined the effectiveness of Russia’s military, including in the war against Ukraine (for example through stolen funds, poor equipment, and falsified readiness).[6] At the same time, very high military spending—around 5–6% of GDP in recent years—occurs in an environment of weak oversight, amplifying opportunities for graft.[6] International sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s aggression have further strained the economy, while elite insiders often find ways to shield themselves more effectively than ordinary citizens do.[6] Former advisers and independent economists warn that the war and sanctions, combined with entrenched corruption, are likely to worsen poverty and inequality inside Russia.[9][6] ## How to interpret “how corrupt” Putting it bluntly, Russia is among the most corrupt states in the world on widely used indices, with corruption permeating both everyday administration and the highest levels of power.[2][3][1][9][6] It is better understood as a system where personal loyalty and informal payments often matter more than law, rather than a basically law‑governed state with some corrupt officials.[3][10][6] Are you mainly interested in the everyday, “petty” corruption Russians encounter, or in the high‑level political/oligarchic side of the system?

Congratulations to Russia: Here’s a concise timeline of the Russia doping scandal’s key events, based on the major reporting and investigations.[1][2] ## Timeline - **December 2014:** German broadcaster ARD airs a documentary alleging systematic doping in Russian athletics, triggering wider scrutiny.[2][3] - **Late 2014:** WADA creates an independent commission led by Dick Pound to investigate the allegations.[3] - **November 2015:** WADA says Russia’s anti-doping agency is non-compliant, and the IAAF suspends the Russian athletics federation after reports describe a “deeply rooted culture of cheating”.[1][2] - **May 2016:** *The New York Times* publishes testimony from Grigory Rodchenkov, the former Moscow lab director, describing a state-run program and sample swapping at Sochi.[2][1] - **July 2016:** The McLaren report finds evidence of widespread state-sponsored doping at the Sochi Olympics and across multiple sports.[3][1] - **2016 Rio Olympics period:** Russia’s track and field athletes face major restrictions, while some athletes compete only as neutrals.[3] - **December 2017:** The IOC bans Russia from the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, though some athletes are allowed to compete as neutrals.[5] - **2018–2019:** More cases continue to emerge from old samples and data, with ongoing sanctions and appeals across international sport.[6][2] - **December 2019:** WADA moves toward a four-year Olympic ban after Russia is found to have provided doctored and incomplete laboratory data.[8][1] - **2020s:** The scandal continues to produce late sanctions, disqualifications, and fallout from reexamined evidence.[11][8] - **April 2026:** Reporting says WADA investigations have identified around 300 punished Russian doping cases across 22 sports, showing the scandal’s long tail.[11] ## Main pattern The scandal started as allegations in athletics, then expanded into a broader state-backed system involving the Moscow lab, sports officials, and security services. Its consequences spread well beyond one Olympics, affecting Russian participation in world championships, the Olympics, and anti-doping governance for years.[8][1][2][3] Would you like a shorter version with just the 5 most important dates, or a more detailed year-by-year timeline?

Other records held by Russia: Russia’s athletes have been at the center of one of the biggest doping scandals in modern sport, with evidence of a state-backed system uncovered by WADA and later investigations. Reports say the scheme involved dozens of sports and hundreds of punished athletes, with track and field and weightlifting among the most heavily affected.[1][3] ## What happened Investigators found that Russian sports officials, lab personnel, and security services helped hide positive tests, swap samples, and interfere with testing. The 2015 WADA report described a broad, organized system, and later reporting said more than 1,000 athletes may have benefited from it in some way.[2][3] ## Main consequences Russia’s anti-doping agency was ruled non-compliant, and Russian sport faced major sanctions, including bans from major events and restrictions on national symbols. In track and field, individual Russian athletes also received long bans and result disqualifications after cases tied to the wider cover-up were adjudicated.[4][6][1] ## Current picture The fallout has continued for years, with new cases still being resolved from old lab data and past samples. Recent reporting says some Russian athletes are again being allowed to compete under certain conditions, but the country’s anti-doping history still shadows its international participation.[5][1] If you want, I can give you a short timeline of the Russia doping scandal or a list of the most notable athletes involved.

Tu fais comme cx que tu crois combattre en toute bonne csce : à l'affût du FD qui implique des "blancs" ms pour justifier le : "circulez y a rien à voir, C juste du racisme". Avec la même hargne imbécile et fanatique. Les antifas et les fas sont les 2 faces d'une même médaille...

Yes and if they push ethnonationalism it will produce exactly the balkanization of Russia that organizations like the CSCE and NATO wants so the question is if these are idiots or NATO tools.

🇷🇺🎙️ Iulia #Zhdanova We express our bewilderment regarding the topic for discussion proposed by the Georgian Chairpersonship within the framework of the “Security Dialogue.” The Code of Conduct on Politico-Military Aspects of Security, adopted at the #CSCE summit in Budapest in 1994, contains not a single mention of specific groups of non-combatants in the context of armed conflict. We are firmly against the erosion of the provisions of the Code and attempts to artificially apply them to unrelated issues, including climate, the situation of women and children, etc. 📍At the 1139th #FSC meeting 🗓️ June 10, 2026 t.me/armscontrolrus/8712

ENUGU TAKING CENTRE STAGE AT THE 2026 CSCE CONFERENCE I had the honour of serving as a panellist at the International Session of the 2026 Conference of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) held in Quebec City, Canada. The session brought together engineering professionals, academics, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders from different parts of the world to exchange ideas on infrastructure development, sustainability, innovation, and the future of engineering practice. During my presentation, I shared insights into the ongoing infrastructure transformation taking place in Enugu State under the visionary leadership of Governor Peter Mbah. The audience was fascinated by the scale, speed, and strategic coordination of projects being simultaneously executed across multiple sectors. Many participants described the developments as a leadership wonder and expressed amazement at the deliberate integration of infrastructure, education, healthcare, technology, tourism, transportation, industrialisation, agriculture, and economic development into one coherent vision. Particular attention was drawn to the State's investments in Smart Schools, Technical Colleges, Model Secondary Schools, and the extensive network of modern Primary Healthcare Centres being developed across the State. Participants were especially impressed by the Smart School initiative, which is redefining public education through the deployment of digital learning tools, smart classrooms, science laboratories, innovation centres, and technology-enabled teaching methods. They noted that the initiative represents a deliberate effort to prepare the engineers, scientists, innovators, and leaders of tomorrow today. The State's ambitious water sector reforms also generated significant interest. I highlighted the ongoing rehabilitation and expansion of water infrastructure aimed at restoring regular access to potable water to urban and rural communities, ending years of inadequate supply and improving public health, productivity, and quality of life. The State's road infrastructure programme garnered significant recognition for its scale, strategic importance, and transformative impact. These investments are strengthening transportation networks, facilitating commercial and agricultural activities, reducing travel time, improving access to communities, and contributing to sustainable economic growth and an improved quality of life for residents. Participants were equally impressed by the development of the Enugu International Hospital, a flagship healthcare project designed to position Enugu as a leading medical destination in Africa while reducing medical tourism and providing access to world-class healthcare services. The completed International Conference Centre and the ongoing ICC Hotel project were highlighted as critical investments in conference tourism, hospitality, and business travel. Together with the revitalisation of Hotel Presidential, these projects are creating the supporting infrastructure necessary to attract international conferences, exhibitions, investors, and major global events to Enugu. The ongoing restoration of the Aluminium Extrusion Industry at Ohebe Dim in Igbo Etiti was recognised as a strategic industrialisation initiative capable of reviving manufacturing and creating jobs. Participants were equally impressed by the State Government's deliberate efforts to reactivate long-dormant economic assets through innovative public-private partnerships. Particular attention was drawn to the ₦40 billion Sunrise Flour Mills revival project in Emene, the revitalisation of Enugu United Palm Products Limited (EUPPL), and the successful revival of Niger Gas. Together with ongoing plans to restore Niger Steel and other strategic industrial assets, these initiatives were viewed as clear evidence of a determined drive to restore Enugu's status as one of Nigeria's foremost industrial and commercial hubs.
