Today is Friday, March 14, 2025, in London. "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.
If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral,
the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."
--Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Rock Rachon
Rock Rachon on Substack, Michał Rachoń
After Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk ordered the criminal shutdown of TVP World news
and removal the "Reset" series from the net (including from YouTube), Michał Rachoń opened
a subscription channel on substack. You can still support the voice of freedom here,
despite Poland's relapse into totalitarian thuggery.
"Poland has seen a drastic violation of the law and the constitution over the last six months" said
Andrzej Duda, President of Poland, July 15, 2024
RESET
TVP World Series, Michał Rachoń
“Reset” – The documentary, by Michał Rachoń and Sławomir Cenckiewicz, presents unknown documents and information
on the Polish-Russian relations reset from 2007-2015.
10,000 analyzed documents from public archives from Poland and abroad, recordings and photos that have never been
published before, interviews with those involved in the process of building a “new philosophy” of relations with
the Russian Federation under Vladimir Putin – “Reset” refers to documents and decisions of politicians ruling Poland
at the time, shows relations with the Russian Federation in the years before Russia’s attack on Ukraine.
Poland joined NATO on March 12, 1999.
“RESET with Russia” Docuseries Playlist
On orders from the Donald Tusk administration, the series "Reset" has been removed from the online platform of Telewizja Polska.
Michał Rachoń's documentary disappeared a few hours after the new authorities enter the station's headquarters on December 19, 2023.
The series has also been censored on YouTube.
It appears that the thuggery and complicity with Putin's criminal regime that Poland fought so hard against has returned with full force.

I believe it is the final track on his 1989 album,

OH, THE RED VIBURNUM IN THE MEADOW
Ukrainian patriotic march first published in 1875 by Volodymyr Antonovych and Mykhailo Drahomanov.
The modern version was written by the composer Stepan Charnetsky in 1914, in honor of the Sich Riflemen
of the First World War. The song was later adopted by the Ukrainian People's Army of the Ukrainian War of Independence
against the Soviet Union.

Servant of the People s3e1-3 2:39:58
Servant
of the People is a Ukrainian political comedy series produced by Kvartal 95 from
2015 to 2019. It starred Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the role of the corruption-fighting president
of Ukraine. The show was produced in the Russian language.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
ran for president, for real, under the banner of the "Servant of the People"
party in 2019 and won. He has served as president since 20 May 2019.
Note that as long as Russia occupies part of Ukraine, the country's constitution disallows
holding a presidential election, because a national election held now would disenfranchise
all the people in the illegally occupied territories.
So in addition to delaying Ukraine's entry into NATO,
Putin's criminal invasion of Ukraine means that he has to deal with his nemesis
Volodymyr Zelenskyy as president of Ukraine for as long as the Muscovites occupy
part of its sovereign territory.

Ой у лузі червона калина похилилася,
Oy u luzi chervona kalyna pokhylylasya,
Чогось наша славна Україна зажурилася.
Chohos nasha slavna Ukraina zazhurylasya.
А ми тую червону калину підіймемо,
A my tuyu chervonu kalynu pidiymemo,
А ми нашу славну Україну, гей-гей, розвеселимо!
A my nashu slavnu Ukrainu, hei-hei, rozveselymo!
А ми тую червону калину підіймемо,
A my tuyu chervonu kalynu pidiymemo,
А ми нашу славну Україну, гей-гей, розвеселимо!
A my nashu slavnu Ukrainu, hei-hei, rozveselymo!
English transation
In the meadow, there a red kalyna, has bent down low ,
For some reason, our glorious Ukraine, has been worried so.
And we’ll take that red kalyna and we will raise it up,
And we, our glorious Ukraine, shall, hey – hey, cheer up – and rejoice!
And we’ll take that red kalyna and we will raise it up,
And we, our glorious Ukraine, shall, hey – hey, cheer up – and rejoice!
Marching forward, our fellow volunteers, into a bloody fray,
For to free, our brother – Ukrainians, from hostile chains.
And we, our brother – Ukrainians, we will then liberate,
And we, our glorious Ukraine, shall, hey – hey, cheer up – and rejoice!
And we, our brother – Ukrainians, we will then liberate,
