“Fear nothing. Giving up is forbidden.”
Flowers left by my daughter Ailis Halligan, studying Russian Trinity College Dublin, at Russia’s embassy in Dublin in memory of Alexei #Navalny .

Russia and Estonia facing off across the Narva river border on #VictoryDay - Russians blasting patriotic music and Estonians responding with anti-Putin banners.

Videos on Russian telegram channel Горизонтальная Россия. Russian Santa - Father Frost - arrives in Belgorod in an armoured personnel vehicle. His “sleigh got stuck in the forest” and he was “saved” by the Russian army, he explains to the crowd (likely kids)

I placed flowers outside the Russian Embassy in Dublin today.

Ничего не бойтесь
Нельзя сдаваться

Fear nothing
We cannot give up

RIP #Navalny

Jonny Tickle Get water to boiling first

To me, a country who feels the need to weave patriotic military propaganda into an age-old and much-loved children’s tradition is a country who knows all is lost

Jonny Tickle There’s been news of these decs for days. How can the fact of the capital’s support of Russia’s invasion exceed your expectations? Propaganda has always been there in Moscow if you look hard enough

Sr Miriam McNulty The funeral service was beautiful. I loved the pictures of Brother Herbert, the one below especially. Here’s my own photo of Herbert with a very small Ailis Halligan, complete with halo. He could have stepped from a fresco. #TurveyAbbey

Liam Halligan Ailis Halligan Great words just now.. I’d vote for you .. yourself , Nigel and Neil Oliver … get the band together… new politics or we’re shackled for life under the globalist woke yoke.

Ailis Halligan Yılda bir kaç milyar dolar kazanmak kolay iş değil. İyi saksafon çalmalı.!

Ailis Halligan I don’t agree with this move. The arts aren’t weapons. What do you think?

Ailis Halligan Francis Scarr good spot Ailis Halligan !!!!
