‘Novorossiya’s’ ‘Leftist’ Friends
The Interpreter ^ | May 30, 2015 | Aleksandr Volodarsky

Posted on 05/31/2015 9:09:30 AM PDT by Agog

The annexation of Crimea, the “Novorossiya” project, and the fight against the “Kyiv junta” are not supported in Russia alone. There are political forces around the world, both marginal and relatively respectable, which voice their support for the separatists in the Donbass. At times, activists themselves travel to the war zone as volunteers, but they mostly hold demonstrations in support of the separatist republics and pressure their governments to renounce their support for Ukraine and “stop the aggression against Russia.”

CBC “Fifth Estate” has a riveting documentary about Putin
called “Putin’s Long Shadow”.

Imagine that, a source that does not regurgitate the propaganda spewing from Russia Today, Sputnik and Zero Hedge.

Should I have provided you with a trigger warning?

The Interpreter is controlled by Russians who are no friends of Putin. I find that refreshing. Clearly you disagree.
