🙋 109th Weekly protest

An Alternative to Putin’s Regime. Portugal as a Target of Propaganda. Power Outages in Portugal.

You're watching the news from the weekly rally at the Russian Embassy in Lisbon. Today is May 3, 2:30 PM.

On April 25, we held the conference "Russia Needs April 25." Together with you, we aim to develop a vision for an appealing alternative to Putin’s regime—one that unites, inspires, and encourages Russians to engage in self-organization. Video recordings in Russian are already available in the ADRL Talks section of our website:

The editorial team at Posle.Media, which includes one of the conference speakers, Ilya Budraitskis, has published a translation of a comprehensive article on the Portuguese revolution. We're working to address the fact that so few Russians are familiar with this important history:

We're also launching a project to create a database of the best examples of laws and ways of life from around the world—resources that will be valuable in shaping the Russia of the future. If you'd like to contribute to this effort, contact us at [email protected].

We are not alone on this path. On April 30, Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi presented a comprehensive, peer-reviewed plan for Iran’s future. “We have to light a new fire—a fire of enthusiasm, a fire of hope,” said Reza Pahlavi.

On April 28, Portugal, Spain, and parts of France experienced the largest power outage in Europe in the past 20 years. It became clear that in such situations, communications, internet access, and ATMs fail within an hour. On May 2, The Guardian reported that the network operator Red Eléctrica ruled out a rare atmospheric event and found no evidence of a cyberattack—though the investigation continues.

That same day, the Portuguese with Tatyana YouTube channel published a story about how power plants were restarted after an emergency shutdown was triggered by two solar parks in southwestern Spain. It also explained how the integrated Iberian power grid allows countries to share capacity during shortages.
