Tag: CIS

The “CIS” section on NAnews is dedicated to events, processes and decisions taking place across the post-Soviet region and affecting Israel, Ukraine, Jewish communities, repatriates and the wider Russian-speaking audience.

Here you will find news, analysis and explanatory articles about the countries of the former Soviet Union: politics, security, migration, economy, social change, international relations and regional conflicts.

Special attention is given to topics directly connected to Israel: aliyah, the situation of Jewish communities, relations between CIS countries and Jerusalem, the impact of russia’s war against Ukraine, sanctions policy, diplomatic crises and shifts in public opinion.

This section helps readers understand how developments in Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, the Caucasus, Central Asia and other countries of the region affect life in Israel and the international agenda.

For Russian-speaking Israelis and immigrants from the post-Soviet space, this topic is especially important. Many families, businesses, cultural ties and personal stories remain connected to the region. That is why CIS news is not only about foreign policy, but also about the daily reality of a large community in Israel.

This page features articles about political decisions, public protests, military threats, diplomacy, civil rights, economic changes and humanitarian issues shaping the new map of the region after 2022.

NAnews Israel News Nikk.Agency regularly updates the “CIS” section to help readers follow developments across the post-Soviet space and understand why they matter for Israel, Ukraine and the Jewish world.

The mechanics of “resetting”: why there are no riots in the Russian Federation, even though the war against Ukraine has long become a systemic humiliation of its own citizens

Механика «обнуления»: почему в РФ нет бунтов, хотя война против Украины давно стала системным унижением собственных граждан

The question “why doesn’t Russia rebel” is being asked in Ukraine and increasingly in Israel, where the war in Europe is not seen as a “distant conflict” but as part of a common axis of threats: Moscow–Tehran (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and other allied RF terrorist formations), suppression technologies, drones, missiles, sanctions, Syria. On the surface, […]

Missile strike by Russian terrorists on Kyiv on August 20, 2026: the shortage of Patriot proved more important than the percentage of intercepted targets

On the night of August 20, 2026, Russia once again assembled over Ukraine what is conveniently referred to in reports as a “combined strike.” Behind this brief definition were 168 drones, several groups of cruise missiles, “Kalibrs,” ballistic missiles, “Oniks,” “Zircons.” The main direction was Kyiv and the Kyiv region. By morning, the capital confirmed […]

Shelling of Ukraine on August 16, 2026: KN-23, Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih and Patriot shortage

Russia has once again used ballistic missiles against Ukraine, including North Korean KN-23s. But after the night of August 16, the main question is no longer just about the number of Russian missiles — Ukraine is increasingly vocal about Patriot interceptors, which allies have but are lacking near Ukrainian launch sites. On the morning of […]

PRISON AS A ‘BOND’: why ‘Brigade’, ‘Brother’, and ‘A Man’s Word’ explain Russia better than official speeches

ТЮРЬМА КАК «СКРЕПА»: почему «Бригада», «Брат» и «Слово пацана» объясняют Россию лучше, чем официальные речи

Understanding modern Russia through ceremonial formulas, state slogans, and pseudo-historical manifestos has long been impossible. The structure of this system is much more accurately revealed elsewhere: in the language of the zone, in the cult of power, in the hierarchy of ‘pahan — six’, in the romanticization of the bandit as a hero, and in […]

Russia will collapse — who will pay reparations to Ukraine and is it possible to divide the debt between regions?

Google Title: Russia will collapse — who will pay Ukraine hundreds of billions in reparations? What will happen to Russian reparations if the Russian Federation ceases to exist in its current form? Who will rebuild the destroyed Ukrainian cities, pay compensation to the families of the deceased, and return the cost of destroyed infrastructure if […]

The house where the children slept: Putin’s army destroyed a large Ukrainian family near Kryvyi Rih

On the night of July 30, 2026, a Russian ballistic missile struck the village of Radushne in the Novopolska community on the outskirts of Kryvyi Rih. It hit directly a private house where the Voronov family with many children lived. It was not a military facility, not a command post, and not a fortified position. […]

The Russian Ministry of Justice posted a film about “Hitler – the liberator”: the Nazi propaganda piece was published without historical explanations

Минюст России разместил фильм о "Гитлере - освободителе": нацистская агитка опубликована без исторических пояснений

A propaganda film of Nazi Germany “Hitler the Liberator,” created for the residents of the occupied territories of the USSR, was discovered on the official website of the Ministry of Justice of Russia. The video recording contains glorification of Adolf Hitler, anti-Semitic theses, and calls to cooperate with the occupying power, but the Russian Ministry […]

USSR 2.0 Unmasked — Why Russia is Rapidly Turning into a New Type of Labor Camp

СССР 2.0 без маски — почему россия все быстрее превращается в трудовой лагерь нового типа

The dream of returning to the Soviet Union in modern Russia is increasingly ceasing to be nostalgia and more often becoming a political program. But the problem is that it is not about the romanticized image of a ‘great power’ from television myths, but about recreating the darkest model of coercion, control, and suppression. For […]

March 18: 11th Anniversary of Russia’s Annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea — Jewish Community, Karaites, Krymchaks, and Israel’s Position

18 марта: 11-я годовщина аннексии украинского Крыма Россией — еврейская община, караимы, крымчаки и позиция Израиля

11 years ago, on March 18, 2014, Russia annexed Ukrainian Crimea, which led to long-term political and humanitarian consequences. This illegal annexation was carried out in violation of international law and without Ukraine’s consent. On the peninsula, among other ethnic groups, there was a Jewish community, including Karaites and Crimean Jews, small but significant peoples […]

Not only ‘Galicia’: Russian national formations in the service of the Third Reich and the uncomfortable memory of World War II

Russian propaganda has been using World War II as a political weapon for decades. When it needs to attack Ukraine, it repeatedly recalls the SS Division ‘Galicia’, the battalions ‘Nachtigall’ and ‘Roland’, Ukrainian nationalism, individual episodes of collaborationism, and wartime crimes. But as soon as it comes to Russian formations that served the Third Reich, […]
