Exiled anti-war Russian politician says Putin is losing support amid crackdowns

Boris Nadezhdin, a longtime anti-war Russian politician, fled Russia after a summons from the Investigative Committee and a government crackdown that briefly barred him from leaving the country; now in Paris, he says opposition voices are growing and Putin’s popularity is slipping, but he remains uncertain about a durable peace as authorities intensify repression, including blocking the liberal Yabloko party from the ballot.

Hasina's Delhi address: exiled Bangladesh leader signals return amid political tremors

Exiled former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina, living in New Delhi after a 2024 crackdown and her ouster, is set to speak via videolink at a private event in New Delhi alongside her son and Awami League leaders—her first public appearance in two years. Dhaka has sought her extradition, but India says it has no role in organizing the speech and Bangladeshi media were barred from airing it. Analysts say the address could hint at a December return and mobilize Awami League supporters, even as observers warn it could fuel instability amid Hasina’s death sentence in absentia for crimes against humanity.

Nadezhdin Exits Russia, Says He’s Alive and Free—From Paris

Opposition figure Boris Nadezhdin says he has left Russia amid government pressure that forced him to suspend his bid for September parliamentary elections; in a Paris video, he says he’s alive and free but not yet back home, after being fined for extremist symbols and branded a foreign agent. The departure details are unclear; he plans to reassess his future while avoiding imprisonment. Nadezhdin rose on a 2024 pro-peace bid and has held various political roles, but is now outside Russia due to authorities’ pressure.

Exiled anti-war Russian figure Nadezhdin flees to Paris after foreign-agent designation

Old Ice Age relic that can exile key cards in any Commander game

An Ice Age artifact called Jester’s Cap can exile cards from an opponent’s library; with recursion or reanimation (e.g., via Toph, the First Metalbender or other artifact-reanimators) it can repeatedly remove threats, potentially crippling a Commander deck. The piece compares it to other exile options (Extract, Sadistic Sacrament, Grinning Totem) and notes that in Commander the payoff is often limited by redundancy in decks. Despite its age and a low price (~$0.39), it’s rarely played (EDHREC shows under 5,000 decks), making it a surprising but risky tactic.
