#Russia expands its #propaganda presence in occupied #Ukrainian territories with a new project under the Russia Today media group, including Radio #Sputnik and the http://Ukraina.ru website.
According to RIA Novosti, the new program is titled "Novorossiya Today" and will focus on “frontline developments, a return to peaceful life, and infrastructure restoration.”
Tonight's film. I went to see it with my then 5 year old daughter at the pictures. I re-read the source novella by Ted Hughes recently.

▪️ Tried to portray the country as descending into chaos

Of all the #plotpoints of #Megalopolis, why did THIS have to be the one to play out in real life?
Seriously, universe, you could have given us Trump being show in the ass with a crossbow and said "sorry, the best I can give you is an acient #sputnik crashing into #Earth."
Then, after considering the question further, McDowell realized there was a precedent, but only one: Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, the Soviet engineer who developed #Sputnik & its launch vehicle. “From 1958 to 1959, when no one else had any #satellites in orbit, Korolev was the only guy in town.” #Musk is not the only guy in town circa 2025, but the rapid growth of his #space-based network may represent a Sputnik moment of its own.

Gods of Apollo
by Rob Cope from 2019
Using archival audio from NASA, Gods Of Apollo is an improvised soundtrack to the space race!
Ian Mann wrote on the Jazz Mann
“’..Gods of Apollo’ is like a movie soundtrack, a love letter to space and music...The journey begins with the near thirteen minute “Sputnik” which commences with almost subliminal looped ‘space noises’, sonar perhaps, these providing the backdrop for Cope’s solo soprano sax ruminations. These are thoughtful and unhurried and possessed of an almost zen like calm as he probes gently and airily...Mostly though the opener is about the leader’s serpentine sax meditations, his soprano a searching beam of light in the darkness of space..."

Jared S. Buss, the author of the 2017 biography “Willy Ley: Prophet of the #Space Age,” called him one of the architects of that era — a major player in #America’s early attempts at space exploration. “In the late ’50s when #Sputnik was launched, he was the person journalists turned to as an expert."

Spencer S. Hsu &Aaron Schaffer: tRump’s #DC U.S. attorney pick appeared on Russian state media over 150 times: Nominee Ed Martin did not disclose his #RT and #Sputnik appearances from 2016 to 2024 to the Senate. The State Department has said the networks act like arms of Russian intelligence.

That fall & winter, #EdMartin also spoke about #Ukraine. In a flurry of 14 spots over a 5-wk span in 2022 before #Russia’s invasion, Martin criticized what he cast as the drumbeat for war by interventionist Americans & repeated that #NATO should rule out Ukrainian membership, a key Russia demand.
In Oct 2021, Martin on his podcast & on Twitter promoted #RT; Margarita Simonyan, editor in chief of RT & #Sputnik; & an RT host over US authorities & social & traditional media.
#law #NationalSecurity
#Russia #StateMedia at the time promoted #EdMartin’s critiques in headlines such as one on #Sputnik International’s website in April 2023, “‘Trumped-Up’ Charges Against Former US President ‘Embarrassing’ to US,” & another in December 2023, “GOP Activist: ‘Stupid’ US Leaders Will ‘Throw Money’ at #Ukraine Unless Stopped by House.”

#EdMartin has been a prolific user of social & other media to defend #Trump & his policies. His presence on #Russia #StateMedia puts a twist on Trump’s frequent tapping of TV personalities to stock his 2nd admin.
Martin appeared as a panelist or commentator on more than a dozen #RT or #Sputnik programs beginning in Aug 2016, often introduced as a #Republican strategist….
