More or less Jews in general are as bad or as good as any other people around. Therefore, they can be hardly blamed for the living hell called Gaza. As far as the Israeli policy in Palestine is concerned, it is most vividly and comprehensively described in 'Occupation 101', the prize-winning documen...

Ukraine is the only country among the ex-Soviet republics (excluding the three Baltic States) that has qualified in the Freedom House list as a free country. One may question the fairness of different index lists made by various organizations, but perhaps fierce debates are not applicable in this ca...

Newrussian town, what a stinky piece of crap you are! Probably you don't find colonial wars lately waged from the sneaky Kremlin enough yet. Last August scores of your fellow countrymen did find death while trying to conquer parts of this country. One sending sons or husbands to other countries for ...

Appeal to the Secretary General and to the Heads of State and of Government of the member countries of the United Nations FOR AN INTERIM UNITED NATIONS ADMINISTRATION IN CHECHNYA We citizens of Chechnya, of Russia, and of the whole world address this appeal with confidence to the United Nations and ...

And you are right not only Georgians and Russians called that region like Ossetia. There is some misunderstanding between what I wrote and how you inferred it. This phrase - The verb 'divide' is quite confusing here, 'coz it doesn't say who were calling these areas 'North Ossetia' and 'South Osseti...

Ossetians lived in the South Ossetia mentioned by Gogebashvili as separate rural communities and that is why at that time they don’t have centralized state. As to Gogebashvili message He definitely told about South Ossetia which was the same part of Ossetia as North Ossetia. The verb 'divide' is qu...

Gogebashvili is indeed a famous writer and teacher and you correctly describe this translated material as contradictory. Having no desire to be accused of free interpretation of his phrase, I at the same time can’t but point out that the Ossetians have settled not only in mountainous areas but also ...

Let the other users judge whether an example with Rim/Rome can be compared with the case of Tskhinvali or not. If it were purely a linguistic issue, then definitely I wouldn't mind even though you start pronouncing Stalin's birthplace as Gor or the Georgian capital as Tiflis (this is how it sounds i...

Those who obediently apply the official Russian dictionary in regards with the Caucasus may not know that the name Tskhinvali even without the last letter ‘i’ still has Georgian origin and literally means ‘hornbeam’. But I won’t be surprised if the city gets renamed some time soon. After all, the fa...

Newrussiantown, You better cease your miserable mumbling turning into your own mockery and tell the audience what your bastard military have been doing to the Chechen nation for years. Also inform others how your bastard soldiers stole scores of toilet bowls from conquered military bases - in respon...

Sektor_Gaza Have you heard , what military division of Russian army has been first to strike a blow to Georgian Army bombing and killing citizens of Tskhinval? Answer: Chechen battalion. Yes Chechens were first to beat Georgian Army. I thought a person with such an impressive nickname would likely s...

I registered with the Euroforum in September and liked it as I found a place where people politely share ideas and opinions. Since then the number of Russians posting here have significantly multiplied which in itself is all right. What makes me laugh is that new ones write identical opinions (ditch...

You may call himself googie, legenda, fable, guest, host and any kind of crap but when you stink, you're doomed. Countries can't be idiotic and non-idiotic - leaders can - and if one fails to realize it, then that xenophobe must be the most complete dumbf*** walking on Earth. While only too narrow-m...

It's worth mentioning that 29/09/2000 is the date when Ariel Sharon went to visit a disputed area in Jerusalem which sparked angry protests consequently turned into the II Intifada. Here are some other casualty figures. Brackets indicate people aged under 18. Figures are taken from the UN: 2005 - 21...

Well for some unconscious people the Chechen tragedy where 250 000 people have been killed is a struggle against terrorism, the recent Tskhinvali events are genocide - I thought this term and fables about two thousand casualties were acknowledged by its inventors as a propaganda failure - the milita...

Stalin indeed was Georgian but ruled the Russian Empire which was shamelessly called the Soviet Union. I know some unions, such as EU where countries enter not after military invasions and occupations but on their own will. Stalin finished off with independence of his own homeland by dispatching Red...

While RusNeko sounds sincerely upset with current level of relations with the Ukraine calling it a tragedy, two other gentlemen are more than convinced that the problem lies with the leadership only and as soon as it leaves the scene in Kyiv, everything will go smoothly. However, the stark distance ...

The logic and terminology used by Independent pretty much sounds as another piece of Cacaphonia from the Putin's propaganda machine. And probably I wouldn't reply at all, but I can't refrain myself from quoting this masterpiece: It made it very clear to the rest of the world that it is not fair to r...

There is not such a thing than historic land. If so, how come Israel was established in Palestine and not, say, in Madagascar? The very idea of bureaucratic institutions such as UN, OSCE, EU and all other international organizations includes acting as mediator in solving conflicts. This is why the ...

So it leaves us to situation where they still have better rights to that land than Georgia has. All names, including that of Tskhinvali, churches, monasteries, cemeteries are Georgian in that region. A few existing Ossetian names are originated from some Bolshevik ringleaders, Znauri for example. T...

If S-Ossetians are willing to be depended of russia - or even to join it - it is their own business. I doubt. Tskhinvali is home of Ossetians, but it's not their homeland. They represent a diaspora only and the right of self-determination is applied to those living on their historic land. Back to t...

I believe the future will make South Ossetia be divided into several parts. I doubt all the population wants to be independent from Georgia. Thus, I am sure separatists will appear. People talking about 'the independence of South Ossetia' can be divided into comics, hypocrites and fools. Independen...

Iordan, your name is quite popular in Bulgaria, it also sounds like a Biblical river and an Arabic country, but you still very much sound Russian. Tskhinval?! If a final letter so irritates you, let's cross them out everywhere and see what we'll get: Mosco, Bal, Zagre, Hagu, Grozn, Bak, Sofi, Kie.. ...

What MILITARY has posted indeed appears to be correct, because there is a huge difference between how the army performed on the ground and how the political leadership acted. Up to the brigade level the military, especially artillery units worked quite effectively. They quickly wiped out the militan...
