Why did Hitler's ally Bulgaria refuse to fight against the USSR? Bulgaria was the only European ally of the Nazis that categorically refused to take part in the war against the Soviet Union. The Bulgarians remembered that it was thanks to Russia's victory in the war against the Ottoman Empire that their homeland had regained its independence in 1878. Tsar Boris III invariably refused Hitler's repeated demands to send troops to the Eastern Front. In Bulgarian society rumors circulated for a long time that the Führer had him poisoned because of it. 🔔 Russia Beyond #russia #news #freedom

Jail White Men To Save The Planet — Jane FondaHumanity’s best chance to save the planet from climate change lies in locking up white men, Hollywood actress Jane Fonda told an audience at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday. “This is serious - we’ve got about seven, eight years to cut ourselves in half of what we use of fossil fuels, and unfortunately, the people that have the least responsibility for it are hit the hardest - Global South, people on islands, poor people of color,” the Barbarella star explained, insisting, “It’s a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop.” “There would be no climate crisis if there was no racism. There would be no climate crisis if there was no patriarchy. White men are the things that matter and then everything else [is] at the bottom.Follow on https://obo.sh/@russiatoday **rt** #russia #news #freedom

5 MOST RUSSIAN TV series from the U.S.American cinema has stories that can’t do without Russian characters. This is often the case with anything space-related, for instance. Many will remember the legendary Pavel Chekov of USS Enterprise in the 'Star Trek' universe; then there was commander Susan Ivanova - the second-most important person on the 'Babylon 5' station. The theme of spying is, perhaps, even more prevalent – be it about the Cold War ('Stranger Things') or the recent past ('Homeland'). There’s also chess ('The Queen’s Gambit'), IT ('Devs'), and other areas where Russians and Soviets are globally significant But, sometimes the Russian connection is itself central to the plot. So, without further ado, here are some of the most Russian shows to have emerged out of Hollywood in recent years.🔔 Russia Beyond #russia #news #freedom
