I wish we are politer in our comments. Russia is a nice unpredictable country with its own sense of humour. Have you noticed a new trend from Russia: supplying "sexy spies"? It is meant to make fun for all of us. (Thank You, Mother Russia.) Now this Anna Fermanova, a cosmetologist in U.S.,...

The lights are still on in the Hitler bunker Süddeutsche Zeitung - Germany. The Nazi satire "Gitler Kaput!" is causing a furore in Russia. Sonja Zekri plays down its historic references in the Süddeutsche Zeitung: "It did not come as a complete surprise when the Peterburg communists ...

Every little bird nowadays tries to be an oracle. Dollar being 1.40 per Euro, they cried "oh, it gonna change soon!". Oil under 80 - they were sure it was the bottom. Haven't you noticed what the real experts were saying? You should have read Soros at the beginning of 2008. Have you ever s...

It will be soon 3 months since the last escalation of the war. Just in a few days since the start there were already very useful comments and information which I encounter now. Something wrong must be with the reporting itself, if I learn it all not from the TV channels and internet portals I presum...

The website http://www.ingushetia.org seems to be very much emphasizing its tendency to be independent. What makes Ingushetia hate so much Russia? I think some answers can be found just on the site. If we look back a bit, under Stalin many nations in Caucasus were treated bad. Nowadays it seems tha...

A few days ago the French got offended because Tunisians whistled on the French national anthem before a football match. Sarkozy said anti-French jeering. Latvians disgusted a joke on their national anthem made by Russians during the popular song festival in Jūrmala (Russian event in Latvia) this su...

Mr Bean became a part of pop culture. We see him even in cartoons. I wouldn’t say he's omnipresent, but he is probably very much like a celebrity. Those who have never seen his comedies think Bean is a name of the actor who plays Atkinson. :) On some occasions Mr Bean is being placed in the old joke...

Romanians became the victim of consumerism because of their tendency to join the Western World, regardless of the consequences. Moreover Romania is very much Americanized, and as we know, Americans are the first consumers in the world What does it mean to join "the Western World"? They jo...

Well, in as far as I heard from other people, during the USSR times, people were much happier than today in Russia, but what is really important is that everybody "were doing something", I mean everybody had a job. Moreover, the population could afford many things by the salaries they ear...

I can subscribe once again to what I said about "Why Kosovo is different from South Ossetia" It must be on page number 4 (four! ) I don't repeat it here, as these passages become too floody, indeed. Who is that subject S.Ossetia who "wants to join Russia"? Do you mean incorporat...

Briefly, events in Ukraine were catalyzed by Russia‘s war against Georgia, and everything that was related to it.

Ok, I will also make letters bigger: "As you have similarly tried to distract attention from the essence of any problem by turning to some subjects that are not in any way related to the problem (very often it is the USA round every corner of your problems ), so you do now again." Was it ...

If you say “a man killed another man” – it’s in a grey zone, because all we know that this might happen also in self-defence or in defence of other peoples’ lives. It also might be homicide or it might be manslaughter… It depends . Policeman is also a man subject to the rule of law. There is our po...

A flash on the events and counting casualties: Deaths in South Ossetia fighting, Saturday, August 02, 2008 „At least six people have been killed... Georgia has denied initiating an exchange. ... Eduard Kokoity, South Ossetia's de facto president, told Interfax news agency that "our response to...

Yes, and you proved by your previous posts that you were not able to understand neither 2x2=4, nor that 10 meant ten – by having been arguing the former equation, and keeping writing such stuff as “10+10=100”. And if you haven’t heard of 10 Commandments, then take the Bible and read them. Please ed...

History itself is not a science about what is good and what is bad. Secondly, you don't seem to learn from your history. The reason for that might also be the version of history you wrote. Since good and bad for you has only relatively utilitarian meaning, a completely rewritten history is nothing ...

If we call good political decisions those that are based on denial of ethics, then what is good after all? history will tell what desigion was bad what good. Sometimes rulers iron will and fist are bringing more good to nation that if they were great moralists or complietly boun by ethic. History i...
