Interview I did on RT yesterday, after observing the DPR referendum (from September 23-27) on whether to join Russia.
UPDATE: Censortube removed the video, but it’s still on my Odysee and on my Telegram.
During that time, I visited areas where voting was occurring in homes/apartments to lessen the opportunity for Ukraine to shell large crowds. Wherever I went–central Donetsk, hard-hit northern & western Donetsk, hard-hit Gorlovka, Mariupol, I saw relaxed people keen to vote (as opposed to Western BS narrative about guns to their heads).
I have a lot of footage from these days which I am nearly done subtitling (I do it manually and of course can’t do so when I’m out on the streets, which I have been, so it’s taking time) and will share here soon.

Thanks for all that you are doing, Eva.
This is amazing. The powder kegs that were carefully crafted at the Diktat of Versailles have been repeated in Crimea, and more so in Donbas. The parallels are palpable – just too astonishing – and contrived by the same ‘hidden hand’. I went investigating further – this from September 1938.
[Excerpts … attempt at *emphasis* added ]
“For nearly two decades the Germans, *as well as the various other nationalities in Czechoslovakia*, have been *maltreated in the most unworthy manner, tortured, economically destroyed*, and, above all, prevented from realizing for themselves also *the right of the nations to self-determination*. All attempts of the oppressed to change their lot failed in the face of the brutal will to destruction of the Czechs. The latter were *in possession of the power of the State and did not hesitate to employ it ruthlessly and barbarously*. England and France have never made an endeavor to alter this situation
I recognize gratefully that at last, after 20 years, the British Government, represented by Your Excellency [Chamberlain], has now decided for its part also to undertake steps to put an end to a situation which from day to day, and, indeed, from hour to hour, is becoming more unbearable. For *if formerly the behavior of the Czechoslovak Government was brutal, it can only be described during recent weeks and days as madness*. The victims of this madness are innumerable Germans. *In a few weeks the number of refugees who have been driven out has risen to over 120,000. This situation, as stated above, is unbearable, and will now be terminated by me.*
[…]
*I have*, with the best intentions and in order to give the Czech nation no justifiable cause for complaint, *proposed – in the event of a peaceful solution – as the future frontier, the nationalities frontier which I am convinced represents a fair adjustment between the two racial groups*, taking also into account the continued existence of large language islands. *I am, in addition, ready to allow PLEBISCITES to be taken in the whole territory which will enable subsequent corrections to be made, in order-so far as it is possible-to meet the real will of the peoples concerned*. I have undertaken to accept these corrections in advance. *I have, moreover, declared myself ready to allow this PLEBISCITE> to take place under the control either of international commissions or of a mixed German-Czech commission. I am finally ready, during the days of the PLEBISCITE, to withdraw our troops from the most disputed frontier areas, subject to the condition that the Czechs do the same*. I am, however, not prepared to allow a territory which must be considered as belonging to Germany, on the ground of the will of the people and of the recognition granted even by the Czechs, to be left without the protection of the Reich.
*As much in the interest of the tortured, because defenseless, population as well as with regard to the duties and prestige of the Reich, it is impossible for us to refrain from giving immediate protection to this territory.*
[,,,]
*Your Excellency assures me that it is now impossible for you to propose such a plan to your own Government*. May I assure you for my part that it is impossible for me to justify any other attitude to the German people; since, for England, it is a question at most of political imponderability, whereas, for Germany, it is a question of primitive right of the security of more than 3 million human beings and the national honor of a great people.
I fail to understand the observation of Your Excellency that it would not he possible for the Czech Government to withdraw its forces so long as they were obliged to reckon with possible invasion, since precisely by means of this solution the grounds for any forcible action are to he removed. Moreover, I cannot conceal from Your Excellency that the great mistrust with which I am inspired leads me to believe that the acceptance of the principle of the transfer of Sudeten Germans to the Reich by the Czech Government is only given in the hope thereby to win time so as, by one means or another, to bring about a change in contradiction to this principle. For if the proposal that these territories are to belong to Germany is sincerely accepted, there is no ground to postpone the practical resolution of this principle.”

– Adolf Hitler – letter in response to Chamberlain – September 23, 1938 – re Sudetenland
A follow up comment …
“I myself have taken the first step into these [Sudeten German] territories. I was greatly moved by two pictures. For one, I had often witnessed joyous jubilation and enthusiasm. It was the first time that I saw tears of joy in the eyes of hundreds of thousands there.
Secondly, I witnessed gruesome destitution! When Englishmen like Duff Cooper and Mister Eden go around claiming there had been injustice done to the Czechs – well, they should just see what had happened there in reality. How can they twist the truth like that?! I saw entire villages malnourished, entire cities run down.
My Volksgenossen, it is up to you now to fulfill an obligation of honor! We must take these people into the midst of our Volksgemeinschaft and help them.”
Adolf Hitler – speech at the opening of the new Winterhilfswerk – Berlin, October 5, 1938
