Just talked to a friend in the south of Russia 🇷🇺 and asked about COVID-19 vaccine - he says he and all his family categorically don't want to get vaccinated with Sputnik V.
He says he will wait as long as it's possible to avoid it (meaning mandatory vaccinations enacted in some republics).
The level of distrust towards the government-sponsored vaccine I've heard in his voice is shocking and very sad, especially as his parents are 70+ and unvaccinated too.

#ECCPlagiarism started becoming a thing on Twitter, as there were at least 5 other blog posts by different authors in the community that were found to be plagiarized.
So what did EC-Council do? Take down the entire blog of course!
Is it just me, or does that also tell you they're afraid of discovery?
Here's their statement regard the plagiarism. It's as hollow as you would imagine.
Maybe the 18 June data was injected into AIS too early by Russian mistake

Gazprom-owned NTV 🇷🇺 complains about vaccine hesitancy in Russia:
> Africans got vaccinated and defeated Ebola. What about us? We're certainly not Africans. We haven't defeated anything
Fun fact: Russian troll farms has been busy spreading anti-vaccine nonsense in US and Europe over the course of 2020.
As it comes out, all that bullshit is being translated from English back into Russian and widely spreading on Russian social media.
Vaccination uptake in Russia in mid-2021 is ~13%.

But also - I am finalizing the section on philosophy and the way it was used in the USSR for propaganda purposes, and it's super interesting how they used Arabic philosophy.
Avicenna, for example, was from present-day Uzbekistan. So promoting him did several things: 1) affirmative action; 2) political favor with modern Arabic allies; 3) showing that all of the peoples of the Soviet Union had progressive philosophers in their past.
