I haven’t translated and published anything by Dmitry recently and decided to consult his Telegram after seeing a blurb at RT. Martyanov has posted on his site several video clips of various other parade participants rehearsing making it clear that there’s plenty of excitement prior to the parade. The Nazis of course would very much like to create havoc for the celebration, but must weigh the costs, although they’ve mostly ignored them in the past. Currently, Russia sees the UK being the main backer of the Nazis, although in reality the Outlaw US Empire remains #1 regardless Trump’s antics. Along with the rest of the world Russia celebrates May Day—the first—as International Labor Day, which the Outlaw US Empire refused to do since that celebration supports Labor, Peace and Socialism as President Clevland said at the time when voicing support for the alternative in September. That the USA needed to be exceptionally different is clear from the several competing histories and the fact that Oregon made the first Saturday in June its Labor Day holiday, which was the first nationally. But that takes us away from the remarks made by our friend Dmitry on April 30 in anticipation of the following day:
About the International Labor
Day If there was a reward for valiant labor in the United States, then its current president could become its recipient for the first hundred days of work, and especially for the beginning of the tariff battle.
At the same time, the hammer and sickle of his tariffs are directed against everyone.
Close neighbors are suffering, degenerates are crying in Foggy Albion, the half-witted old woman Europe is raging. They are having a hard time at all. They have to bow to make a ritual deal codenamed "kiss my ass". And then in the south of Europe, the light is gone... (Yes! Yes! Everyone understands who did it...)
China, however, has its own huge resources and a giant domestic market, and therefore its economy will certainly withstand any pressure. Here Trump made a mistake.
We almost do not trade with America, and the new brutal tariffs do not apply to us. They make no sense when there are illegal "restrictive measures", of which there are already 30,000 pieces!
But Trump broke the Kyiv regime to pay for American aid with minerals. Now military supplies will have to be paid for with the national wealth of the disappearing country. And the US Senate, led by the Republicans, is preparing to impose another "crushing sanctions" against us. Let's look at the response of the new administration. Trump's ratings have gone down, the "deep state" is putting up fierce resistance to him.
May is off to a stormy start. And by no means peaceful. Victory Day is still ahead.
Happy holiday! Happy May 1st! [My Emphasis]
Yes, plenty of events for Dmitri’s comic performance. But this next bit IMO is rather serious, and we know Mr. Mededev can get very serious:
The green unshaven chump said that he rejects Putin's proposal for a three-day truce on May 9 and cannot ensure the safety of world leaders in Moscow.
And who is looking for his guarantees? Just a verbal provocation. No more than that.
Nita understands that in the event of a real provocation on Victory Day, no one guarantees that May 10 will come to Kyiv. [My Emphasis]
What’s the threshold for a “real provocation”? Most readers know I’ve opined the Nazis will try to disrupt the celebration in as many locations as possible, not just Moscow. There isn’t much of anything to do for us spectators at a distance but to wait and see what happens.

If I were "the green unshaved chump," I'd take Medvedev's warnings very seriously and keep my mouth shut for a while. It's possible his trial, verdict, and sentence will be sent to him from Moscow in a hypersonic envelope. He lives off Washington, but keeps his life thanks to Moscow... For now.
I wanted to write an article with Dmitry Medvedev's and Maria Zakharova's responses to Zelensky's threat, but unfortunately I did not have time yesterday. I believe that the MFA spokesperson's Telegram post is worth reporting too:
"The statements that Zelensky has now made are not coincidental.
This is a classic threat by a terrorist of international proportions.
That is exactly why in one interview the Bankova leader also rejected the truce proposed by the Russian President for the (https://t.me/MID_Russia/56452) days associated with the celebrations of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, and explicitly threatened the world leaders who plan to arrive in Moscow on 9 May.
We have long known that Zelensky has nothing sacred - he betrayed his own veteran grandfather and deceived the people, and then, in order to remove witnesses to his shame, began to destroy every last Ukrainian.
The fact that the evil drug genie finally broke out of the bottle to the world and began to threaten the heads of countries is what we have long predicted and, unfortunately, we were not mistaken. Let me remind you that he extended his foreign terrorist experience to other continents when he carried out a series of extremist actions in Mali and (https://t.me/MID_Russia/43958) Niger. (https://t.me/MID_Russia/44033)
But today he has hit rock bottom: now he is threatening veterans who will attend parades and ceremonial events on the holy day with physical insecurity.
After every terrorist attack on the territory of Russia, the Kiev regime, its security services, and Zelensky personally boast that it was their handiwork and that it will continue to be so. Therefore, the phrase that he ‘does not guarantee security on 9 May on the territory of Russia’, as this is not his area of responsibility, is, of course, a direct threat.
Everything that Zelensky said during his interaction with the press once again proves the neo-Nazi nature of the Kiev regime, which has become a terrorist cell.
The demolished and torn down monuments to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War in Ukraine, the barbaric exhumation of the remains of Red Army soldiers and their hasty relocation from memorial sites to the outskirts, the ban on the wide performance of songs in Russian and the mockery of the symbols of Victory - proof that on 9 May Zelensky will honour the memory not of his grandfather, but as a cowardly traitor-collaborationist will salute the fascists."

I think Zelensky's threat and Trump's approval of the first export of US military equipment to Ukraine since assuming presidency, following the singing of the mineral deal with Ukraine, put the final nail on the coffin of Patrushev's proposal for a special US-Russian relationship against Europe's authoritarian drift - see my latest article on this: https://geopolitiq.substack.com/i/162679343/calls-from-moscow-for-a-special-us-russian-relationship-against-europes-authoritarian-drift
