Watershed press conference by top Novorussian officials (MUST SEE!)

Dear friends,

There is no overstating the importance of this press conference by by Alexander V. Zakharchenko, Chairman of The Council of Ministers of The Donetsk National Republic.  As as soon as I saw it myself, I asked two of our Teams (Russian and Oceania) to work together on a translation as fast as possible.  They did as stellar job and I can now share this video with you.   I want to especially mention and thank the following people:

• Transcription/Translation and Timecoding by Marina - Without Marina this would simply not be possible. Heavily indebted to her help!
• English proofreading and editing by Erebus,Michael and Vaughan
• French Translation and release by Jean-Jacques (in progress as we speak) @ The French Saker
• English editing and video publishing: Augmented Ether

To all of you we all - and I personally - owe a huge THANK YOU for your fantastic work, professional skills and heroic dedication to bring the voice of Novorussia to the rest of the world.  In this "information war" the speed at which you made this crucial press conference available is a major victory against the Empire's propaganda machine!

This is the first time that we hear what the new - post Strelkov - commanders have to say.  This is the first time that the Novorussians are going on the offensive.  And this is the first time that we get to hear the views, values and ideas of the people fighting against the Nazi junta.  This is truly a watershed moment.

Many thanks and kind regards,

The Saker

PS: There is an important error in the translation: at 16:53, the subtitles say "we did not capture any regional administrations". They SHOULD say "we were not THE FIRST to capture any regional administrations"

Press-conference of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov, Moscow, August 25 2014

Subtitled video of the Press Conference of Borodai and Strelkov 10 Jul 2014

Lavrov press conference in Geneva after agreement with USA (with link to Kerry's press conference)

Important:make sure to also listen to the press conference by John Kerry gave in another room (to signal that the US and Russia are really enemies I suppose) at the same time.  Click here to listen to it.  The video is choppy and "jumps", blame the US State Department or YouTube, not me.  If I get a clean one I will post a link to it here below.

Foreign Minister Lavrov's press conference today (in English)

As always, Lavrov makes a brilliant case for his point of view.  I still think that Russia made a major mistake, but I can't help liking Lavrov a lot and finding him absolutely brilliant.  I hope that he has some kind of game-plan I am not aware of.

It's a long press conference, but at least listen to his reply to the first question as it is about Syria and his answer is nothing short of brilliant.  But if you can - listen to the full thing.  It is a major review of Russian diplomatic and political goals for the near future.

What will you pay attention to today?

Today, on September 11, 2010, the Big Brother's corporate media wants you to focus on some ignorant redneck in sunny Florida who want to burn Korans. The other option would be to focus on the topic of the "Ground Zero Mosque" - nevermind that it is not on, but only near, the site of WTC.

I suggest that you the watch press conference and debate which was held at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. on 9/8/10 by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth:

PS: notice the immediate and not-so-coincidental appearance of some real kooks at the Q&A part of the conference?
