В октябре 1947 года более 78 тысяч украинцев были принудительно вывезены из Западной Украины в Сибирь и Казахстан. Сегодня Россия снова использует депортацию как оружие — только вместо эшелонов теперь самолеты и автобусы, а вместо сталинских приказов — "социальные программы" и фейковые паспорта. Фокус вспоминает, как проходила операция "Запад", и рассказывает, почему 1947 год звучит так болезненно знакомо в 2025-м.

Jackson Denka, CEO of Azura, believes crypto airdrops will eventually take a backseat to IPO’s, but what if there was a way to save them? Airdrops are a common practice among new crypto projects, but as much as 88% of airdropped tokens lose value within three months, according to data collected over the last seven years. A Sept. 18 report by DappRadar analyst Sara Gherghelas found that since 2017, projects have distributed over $20 billion in airdrops, but 88% of the airdropped tokens lost value within months, “highlighting the gap between short-term hype and long-term sustainability.”  Speaking to Cointelegraph, DappRadar’s head of content, Robert Hoogendoorn, said token distribution is key to success in an airdrop; projects want to place their token in the hands of diamond holders.  Read more

US President Donald Trump reiterated on Sunday that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told him India will stop buying Russian oil, while warning that New Delhi would continue paying “massive” tariffs if it did not do so. “I spoke with Prime Minister Modi of India, and he said he’s not going to be doing the Russian oil thing,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. Asked about India’s assertion that it was not aware of any conversation between Modi and Trump, Trump replied: “But if they want to say that, then they’ll just continue to pay massive tariffs, and they don’t want to do that.” Russian oil has been one of the main irritants for Trump in prolonged trade talks with India — half of his 50 per cent tariffs on Indian goods are in retaliation for those purchases. The US government has said that petroleum revenue funds Russia’s war in Ukraine. India has become the biggest buyer of seaborne Russian oil sold at a discount after Western nations shunned purchases and imposed sanctions on Moscow for its 202...

The question came from veteran macro investor Dan Tapiero, one of the few old-guard financiers whose entire career has revolved around spotting inflection points. “What if hyperbitcoinization is really just about to start?” he asked on Sunday, just as gold went vertical and confidence in fiat money began to crack like thin ice. It’s a question […] The post What if Hyperbitcoinization is really about to start? appeared first on CryptoSlate.

20 октября 1944 года первые японские пилоты вошли в отряд камикадзе, направляющих самолеты со взрывчаткой в корабли противника. Противником был флот Соединенных Штатов Америки — страны, в 26 раз превосходящей Японию. Герои-смертники не остановили победу США, но показали, как фанатичная идея руководит людьми, ведя их на смерть, и как "мелкий" враг может наносить большой вред.

Long-term Bitcoin holders took profits at record levels with realized gains hitting $1.7 billion daily as older coins re-entered circulation. The price of Bitcoin will have a challenging road ahead as long as long-term holders continue to take profits, according to analysts. The failure of crypto markets to recover was not due to manipulation, paper Bitcoin, or suppression, “just good old-fashioned sellers,” said analyst James Check on Sunday. Check added that the sheer volume of sell-side pressure from existing Bitcoin (BTC) holders is still not widely appreciated, and that it was “the source of resistance” at the moment.  Read more

The hunt was on Monday for the band of thieves who stole eight priceless royal pieces of jewellery from the Louvre Museum in the heart of Paris in broad daylight. Officials said a team of 60 investigators were working on the theory that the raid was planned and executed by an organised crime group. In France, it reignited a row over the lack of security in France’s museums, which the new Interior Minister Laurent Nunez acknowledged on Sunday was a “major weak spot”. The thieves arrived between 9:30 and 9:40am Sunday, shortly after the museum opened to the public at 9:00am, a source close to the investigation said. They used a furniture hoist to get access to the Apollo Gallery, home to the royal collection, and cutting equipment to get in through a window and open the display cases. A brief clip of the raid, apparently filmed on the phone of a visitor to the museum, was broadcast on French news channels. The masked thieves stole nine 19th-century items of jewellery, one of which — the crown of the Empress Eug...
