Anton Alikhanov, the governor of the Russian exclave Kaliningrad, said Monday that the 18th-century German philosopher Immanuel Kant, who spent his entire life in the region, has a “direct connection” to the war in Ukraine, according to the local outlet RuGrad.

Speaking at a conference in the town of Svetlogorsk, Alikhanov said it’s impossible to discuss “profound ideas” in Kaliningrad without mentioning Kant. “I want to show that Immanual Kant, who was born here nearly 300 years ago, has an almost direct relationship to the global chaos […] that we are facing now. Moreover, he has a direct connection to the military conflict in Ukraine,” the governor said.

According to Alikhanov, it was German philosophy, whose “godlessness and lack of higher values” began with Kant, that created the “sociocultural situation” that led, among other things, to the First World War.

Today, in 2024, we’re bold enough to assert that not only did the First World War begin with the work of Kant, but so did the current conflict in Ukraine. Here in Kaliningrad, we dare to propose — although we’re actually almost certain of it — that it was precisely in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason and his Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals […] that the ethical, value-based foundations of the current conflict were established.

The governor went on to call Kant one of the “spiritual creators of the modern West,” saying that the “Western bloc, which was shaped by the U.S. in its own image,” is an “empire of lies.” Kant, he said, is referred to as the “father of almost everything” in the West, including freedom, the idea of the rule of law, liberalism, rationalism, and “even the idea of the European Union.”

Help Sharik and Other Pets of Our City to Survive

Many owners give up their pets. The reasons are different: some people abandon their pets when moving to a new place or when their pets get sick, while others may get tired of caring for an animal. However, the result is always the same – our furry friends are on the street, in danger, without shelter, food, and warmth.

And now, I would like to tell you about one specific dog, whose name is Sharik. He lost his owner, but unfortunately, that’s not his only grief. Sharik hears and sees almost nothing since his organs of vision are affected by cataracts. The dog is left all alone. However, he prefers not to leave his native yard. He usually lies under the barn roof to hide from rain and snow. The temperature is getting low, and compassionate people are trying to help the animal. They give him warm food and water. Sometimes those merciful people walk the dog: they take him out into nature and allow him to feel the taste of life again. During such walks, the dog can feel the love of friends and their caring attitude, but it is hard to become true friends in such conditions.

This case is far from the only one. Our country has thousands, perhaps several hundred thousand, animals that find themselves in a similar situation. Kind people who live in Svetlogorsky District are doing their best to help abandoned animals. They provide all possible assistance to weak, homeless, sick, and lonely cats and dogs.

In trying to solve the problem, employees of communal services only catch animals left without a home. After that, they kill those animals using the most inhumane methods. They do not even use anesthesia, as expected in many civilized countries. The services lack funds to buy such drugs. And apparently, they lack compassion and humanity so as not to commit unforgivable actions...

Local volunteers are trying to help in any way they can. However, alone they cannot cope with the incredible number of animals ending up on the street. In the warm season, abandoned pets are at least able to survive. But due to frost, they are increasingly dying. In particular, this concerns small dogs and cats who cannot survive in the harsh conditions of the street.

Some volunteers take animals from the street to their homes, thus giving them shelter and food. Some of them find good forever homes for those kittens already born. Someone feeds homeless animals every day. However, all the actions taken are not enough. Private shelters are needed to provide animals with even the bare essentials. But not everyone has the necessary amount of financial resources. After all, you should feed animals, pay employees, provide animals with veterinary care, etc. All this requires significant sums of money.

Volunteers are ready to create a shelter and do their best so that animals can live life to the fullest. But they need material assistance. Volunteers can only hope that the call will resonate in people’s hearts and that people will donate at least a small amount of money to create a shelter. This decision can save the lives of animals betrayed by people.

In Svetlogorsk, there are a lot of cats that can amaze you with their beauty and dogs that have so much love to give. In the shelter, such animals receive the necessary assistance. They are treated for parasites, cured, brought into proper condition, and transferred into the hands of responsible owners. If you are not yet ready to adopt a cat, you can take a pet for temporary foster care. For a while, you can become a happy owner of an animal, thankful for being rescued. Besides, you will be proud of yourself for giving the animal care, food, and shelter. However, even a simple donation can save someone’s life, maybe more than one.

Svetlogorsk Baltic sea

for the first time in my life I saw the sea .. it is so beautiful...)))

Итальянский перекус в стиле Гранд Фуди. Вкусная пицца и облепиховый чай. Расстроило мороженное с обилием льда, могли бы использовать молоко получше. Эклера марципанового утром не было, пришлось ждать целый час. Атмосфера внутри скучная, но официант старается. Поэтому оценка Дени ⭐️⭐️. #объедено #пицца #мороженное #облепиховыйчай #italianbistro #завтрак #светлогорск #гдепоестьвсветлогорске (at Светлогорск • Svetlogorsk) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdNDdi1oJlH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
