On this day, December 25, 1944, 80 years ago, the Red Army was defeated by Cossack units of the Wehrmacht under the command of I.N. Kononov.
The 5th Don Cossack and 6th Terek Cavalry Regiments, during fierce fighting, inflicted a heavy defeat on the 233rd Soviet Rifle Division, driving the Bolsheviks to flee and forcing them to abandon their foothold on the right bank of the Drava. N.D. Tolstoy referred to this as "the last battle of the Civil War."

Soloviev also promoted the channel in a post he shared on his own Telegram, which has 580,000 followers. The post recommended his viewers subscribe to "War on Fakes" in a time of fake news. So, uh, whenever I hear about Telegram, it’s always in relation to something bad. What gives? On Telegram’s website, it says that Pavel Durov “supports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)’s input is technological.” Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands. Elsewhere, version 8.6 of Telegram integrates the in-app camera option into the gallery, while a new navigation bar gives quick access to photos, files, location sharing, and more. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a driving force in markets for the past few weeks.
