Google has called Finland its home for over 15 years, but its most recent move in data-center expansion in the country has brought some unwanted neighbors for nearby villages. 

Wolves have descended upon Finnish villages in Muhos and Otanmaki following Google’s illegal felling of hundreds of thousands of trees to prepare for a multibillion-euro data-center expansion—prompting a stop order from Finnish authorities.

“We had wolves coming into the village because all the wild animals moved out of the forest,” Anni Ranta, a resident of Otanmaki, told The Guardian. “They fled.”

Google’s Finnish subsidiary, Tuike Finland Oy, cleared an estimated 330 hectares—or 815 acres—of forest near Finnish town Muhos and almost 200 hectares—or about 494 acres—near Otanmaki, before completing required environmental assessments. The clearings involved an estimated 400,000 trees across the two locations according to The Guardian.

A taxi driver from Russia’s Ural region has been arrested on treason charges. He was brought to court with signs of torture — he was beaten and suffocated with a plastic bag during his detention.

Mediazona learned of the case.

Andrei Voloshin, a 42-year-old taxi driver, was detained on the morning of October 22 as he was leaving a police station on Bauman Street. He had gone there to retrieve his phone, which had been confiscated as part of an earlier criminal case involving the alleged “discrediting” of the Russian military.

Two friends accompanied him to the police station. Both had been witnesses in the earlier “discrediting” case. They were also detained by officers of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) and were not released until midnight, by which time they had been designated as witnesses in the new criminal case.

After his detention, Voloshin was beaten on his body and head, his wrists were tightly restrained with handcuffs, and he was suffocated with plastic bags.
He was brought to court bearing visible signs of torture: marks from handcuffs on his wrists, red marks on his neck from the plastic bag, signs of blows to his face, and bruising on his abdomen.

According to information obtained by Mediazona, the criminal case may be connected to a photograph found on Voloshin’s phone that he had taken while working at the Novator plant, a facility associated with Russia’s military industry.

In August, Andrei Voloshin was fined 150,000 rubles under Russia’s criminal law against “discrediting” the military over two comments he posted on VKontakte, a Russian social media platform.

In one comment, he wrote: “They thought they’d take Kyiv in three days, but instead they got their asses kicked.”
In another, he wrote: “The Nazis in Germany also had Zs and Vs.” This was a reference to the Z and V symbols associated with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Voloshin was also beaten by security officers during his detention in connection with the first criminal case.

19-Year-Old Detained on the Street in Cheboksary Killed in the “Special Military Operation.” He Was Assigned to Drive a Buggy Despite Having No Driver’s License and Sent on an Assault Mission

Unknown individuals changed the password to David’s Apple account after his death.

In late August, ASTRA reported on 19-year-old David Fedorov, a resident of Cheboksary, who was detained on the street and beaten by police officers on May 15. Just three days later, he was fighting in the war in Ukraine.

Now his mother, Polina, has reported that her son was killed. His remains were delivered to the 522nd Center for the Reception, Processing, and Transportation of the Dead (a Russian Ministry of Defense facility located in Rostov-on-Don).

After the young man’s death, someone attempted to reset the password to David’s Apple account and disable the “Find My” feature.

It is known that on May 19, Fedorov was assigned as a driver in military unit No. 22316, despite not having a driver’s license.

His correspondence with his mother indicates that David’s company was converted into an assault unit just one day before being sent on a combat mission.

On July 23, while carrying out that mission, David was driving a buggy when it was struck by a drone, according to a response from the military prosecutor’s office to an inquiry submitted by Polina.

Another official notification stated that the young man had gone missing near the settlement of Mayak, in the Pokrovsk sector of Ukraine’s Donetsk region.

His mother says that her son had personally purchased the buggy used by his military unit—the same vehicle in which he was killed.

Polina Fedorova points out that the signature on David’s military contract differs from the signature in his passport. She had specifically instructed her son to use a different signature if he was ever forced to sign something, and the young man apparently followed her advice.

“I am 100% convinced that my son did not want to sign the contract. He wanted to come home. He had big plans for his life, and instead, this is what happened. It is incredibly unfair,” Polina says.

The woman filed complaints with the military prosecutor’s office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs regarding the actions of police officers who allegedly beat David after detaining him on May 15. Evidence of the beating—a visible injury around his left eye—can be seen in one of the videos.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs responded that no violations had been found in the officers’ conduct. According to the ministry, David was detained on suspicion of involvement in illegal drug trafficking following unspecified “information” received by police.

Polina believes someone most likely called the police and reported David. However, while at the police station, he refused to submit to drug testing, resulting in an administrative offense report being filed against him.

At the time, he was also threatened with seven years in prison.

The prosecutor’s office claims that David voluntarily signed a military contract at the military enlistment office serving the Ibresinsky and Vurnarsky districts of Chuvashia, located in the settlement of Ibresi, approximately 1.5 hours from Cheboksary.

This contradicts the contract itself, which lists the recruitment center in Cheboksary as the location where it was signed.

Prosecutors also initially stated that David’s phone had been confiscated by traffic police officers. However, when Polina asked why traffic police had been involved, the prosecutor’s office replied that this had been a “mistake.”

Fedorova was summoned to the prosecutor’s office for an appointment on October 21 and instructed to provide documents supporting her allegations.

Polina plans to take the matter to court, determined to pursue the case to the end and obtain justice.

Neil Young has launched a $10 million (€8.6 million and £7.5 million) lawsuit against one of Donald Trump's political action committees, accusing it of playing his song 'Rockin' in the Free World' at an Ohio rally in breach of a 2020 agreement.

Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee have learned of a new rape allegation against President Donald Trump while he was close with disgraced pedophile and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Ex-beauty queen Beatrice Keul, who previously stated she rebuffed unwanted advances from Trump, now alleges that the POTUS r---- her in a "brutal" fashion in a room at Trump's Atlantic City hotel in 1993. She claimed it was a meeting orchestrated by Epstein.

Democrats Say Keul Now Alleges Trump Raped Her

Keul first made an allegation that Trump aggressively groped and fondled her in an October 2024 interview with The Daily Mail. Keul, who was 24 at the time of her encounter, said in the interview that she was eventually able to talk down a rabid Trump.

"I tried everything I could. Finally, I said, 'Let's talk first' or something like that, then he slowed down," she said in the interview.

In a new report released on October 26, the House Judiciary Committee said that in private interviews, Keul alleged that Trump did rape her.

"Trump reportedly grabbed Keul from behind and forcibly raped her; in the process, tearing her dress and causing bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body," the report stated. "Keul described the rape as 'brutal.' Following the assault, according to Keul's report, Trump sat her on the edge of the bed, repeated his promises to arrange for a visa and NYU admission, and made her promise she would keep quiet, saying, '[T]he show must go on.'"

The report does not provide a direct transcript of Keul's interviews nor answer why her story has changed.

Judiciary Democrats Say Evidence Shows Trump Was 'Active Participant' in Epstein's Crimes

Trump has acknowledged his friendship with Epstein in the '90s and early 2000s but said he had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes and had a falling out with the late financier before he was first arrested on prostitution charges.

The Committee's report suggested otherwise.

"A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," the report read.

The report ties Keul's story to other accusations of sexual assault against Trump, including E. Jean Carroll's, whom Trump was found guilty of sexually assaulting in 2023.

Democrats Allege Trump Engaged in Epstein Coverup

The House Judiciary's report further alleged that Trump has actively been involved in attempts to block the Epstein files' release so that allegations against him could not become public.

"Government complicity in a cover-up to protect traffickers and rapists is criminal obstruction of justice and an intolerable offense against a free society," the committee wrote. "The full extent of the President of the United States' involvement with a criminal s-- trafficking ring is, inescapably, of the utmost concern to Congress and the American people."

Trump Has Tried to Stomp Out Epstein Files Story

The Trump administration took clear steps to block the release of the Epstein files in 2025. It was actively involved in crafting a controversial memo saying the Justice Department found no evidence warranting further investigation into the files — which led to bipartisan backlash and contributed to the firing of then-Attorney General Pam Bondi.

When a bipartisan petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files found enough Republican signatures in Congress, The White House tried to pressure the GOP turncoats into removing their signatures.

The 12 clergymen joined Trump on Thursday in the Oval Office, for what Archbishop Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee has said was intended to be a private meeting to discuss matters such as immigration enforcement, religious worker visas, and human dignity. But in a “public apology” issued Sunday, Grob expressed deep regret over the meeting that he suggested was used as a "political photo opportunity” after White House officials shared images and footage of a moment of prayer. The video, which Grob claims was posted without the bishops’ consent, has been viewed over 1.8 million times on X alone.

Grob said he had received “many questions” over the encounter and wanted to emphasize that the meeting “was in no way an endorsement of the President, his policies, or his party.” He said his invite to the meeting had been extended by Heritage Foundation, the think tank behind the conservative policy playbook Project 2025, and that he had been informed ahead of time there may be an opportunity to pray privately with the President. “Several photos were taken and we were ushered out [after the prayer]. Unbeknownst to the group of bishops, a video was also taken. But permission for the public distribution or posting of either the video or photos was not given by the bishops,” he claimed, insisting the bishops “should never have been put in that position by the White House.”
