Generous soul
The next gesture of goodwill was noted by the Russian government, having decided to write off 100% of the debt of Kyrgyzstan (to the Russian Federation). The total amount owed by Kyrgyzstan to the Russian Federation was almost a quarter of a billion dollars (240 million).
This, of course, is a brilliant strategic move that does not tolerate criticism. Russia writes off a debt to Kyrgyzstan, and Kyrgyzstan in return will love with faithful love virtually every Russian taxpayer. [Hosh] - dissect the free surface of Issyk-Kul, [Hosh] - walk around Kant and admire Manas. Mountains, air, warmth and in addition Przewalski's horses. And in order for love not to run low, Kyrgyzstan needs to be given a few more loans, and then debts and also write off debts on these loans ... But what else? We are a generous soul!

Tomatoes will not pass!
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited the Sochi residence of the President of the Russian Federation. Before flying to Russia, Erdogan spoke to journalists, answering questions about what he expected from the meeting with Vladimir Putin. According to Erdogan's answers, it became clear how the Turkish president sets priorities. The first thing Erdogan spoke about was not at all Syria, as many had expected, and not at all the long-term bloody conflict in this country. The first for Erdogan is the removal of all barriers in mutual trade and other economic interactions.
And the trade and economic barriers were lifted down during the visit of the “Sultan” to Sochi. That's just for tomatoes, our position was extremely important. Your tomatoes, we say, we will not let in on our territory for anything! And in fact. After all, tomatoes are a much more fundamental thing than, for example, the supply of Ankara C-400! .. They, tomatoes, if you will, are a strategic thing ...

And an interesting moment came after But father talked with the IMF missionaries. Having moved from such a visit, Alexander Grigorievich took and obliged the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus to render humanitarian aid to Ukraine ... The Belarusian humanitarian “basket”, which, as if through the Red Cross and as if on both sides of the contact line, packed soap, flour, pasta, stew, shampoo. A special combination is sugar, yeast and toilet paper. It turns out that a generous soul is not only Russia ... True, Russia does not ask the IMF for anything ...

The saboteurs met ...
The operational command of the People’s Police of the LPR reports on the successful special operation to liquidate the members of the commando of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Information about the liquidation of Ukrainian saboteurs is shared by Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Marochko.
They don’t know how to openly fight, they don’t want to, and especially nothing. But the attacks are becoming commonplace for the Ukrainian security forces. But there is someone to pick up. Let's not forget that in Yavorov, American and Canadian specialists continue to advise Ukrainian "heroes" who provocations and training terrorist groups around the world ate a whole pack of dogs.

Trash against winners
Ukrainian radicals have announced that they are conducting their own preparations for 9 May. The leader of the Ukrainian radical group of the OUN (banned in the Russian Federation) Nikolay Kokhanovsky (Mykola Kokhanivsky) on the social network Facebook writes that "he will not let the red hydra seep into Kiev." Under the "red hydra" Russophobe and neo-Nazi Kokhanovsky understands those people who are going to take to the streets of the city to the international action "Immortal Regiment".
And after all, somewhere this stinking trash was sitting, while such a notion as the friendship of nations was actively working. Not just sitting, but with all the "fibers" and "gills" wanted revenge. And since the revenge against the winners of Nazism is impossible by definition, we decided to fight with the portraits of the winners, with their graves and monuments. And, it turns out, this trash in Ukraine is not so little (as the Ukrainians themselves are trying to assert) if the overwhelming majority of the rest of the Ukrainian people prefer to keep quiet and close their eyes, looking for an excuse for themselves.

T-50. Everything goes according to plan?
At the beginning of this year, 7 celebrated its anniversary since the first flight of the Russian X-NUMX fighter of the T-5 generation, also known as the PAK FA. Seven years of work on fine-tuning the aircraft, however, his American counterpart F-50 is solemnly operated, not only in the United States, and the firstborn of the 35 generation F-5 also flies, even if there are fewer nuances and limitations in the Raptor’s flights, than flight hours.
Of course, there is an overwhelming desire that the domestic defense industry betrayed a new generation of combat aircraft per year. However, we ourselves see and discuss problems in the form of a shortage of professional staff, and, to put it mildly, not the most effective administration, coupled with not the most outstanding “successes” of the domestic economy. If there is no such tool as a mad printing press that the USA has, you need to proceed from objective realities. But the reality is that it makes no sense to chase after the American F-35 of Russia with the T-50 being created. But not to get out of the schedule for rearmament - completely. But it also happens that the implementation of the schedule shifts so much that the manufacturer itself begins to forget about the original goal of the project.

T-14. Waiting for deliveries to the troops
To obtain the maximum possible characteristics and increase the potential in the design of this combat vehicle, a number of original developments and technical solutions were used, which is why the tank seriously differs from the existing samples of its class.
As a continuation of the previous topic, a joke from the network: “It was 2030. The Ministry of Defense during the Victory Parade on Red Square showed samples of the latest Russian tanks "Armata" - now in a new color. " Let's hope that the joke will remain a joke, and the Armata tanks as a result of the program will not be “three prototypes,” but as many as are needed for the needs of the Russian army.

On the creation of security zones in Syria
In Syria, it is planned to create four security zones that will stop the bloodshed in the republic and help launch a political dialogue. According to Vladimir Putin, American President Donald Trump supported this initiative. Consultations were also held with Damascus and Tehran. “We all proceed from the fact that it is necessary to create mechanisms that would guarantee the cessation of bloodshed and create conditions for the start of a political dialogue,” the Russian president explained.
And more information on the Syrian theme: Deputy Director of the Department of New Challenges and Threats of the Russian Foreign Ministry Dmitry Feoktistov said that during the Syrian campaign, the Russian aerospace forces destroyed more than three thousand petrol tankers of terrorists and more 200 refineries for processing and pumping oil products.
It is expected that the memorandum on the creation of de-escalation zones in Syria will be signed in Astana.
Recall, April 3 began inter-Syrian negotiations there, in which Russia, Turkey and Iran act as mediators. Among the observer countries are the United States. This time, Washington raised its level of representation by delegating an assistant secretary of state.
The memorandum states that the guarantors of the cease-fire in Syria are Russia, Turkey and Iran.

Strategists are wrong
Washington strategists expressed concern that Moscow and Beijing would create a “formalized” alliance and could go ... to an armed conflict with the United States. The military alliance of the Russians and the Chinese looks strong enough to have enough power for an “intense and long war” with the overseas superpower. However, the military scenario seems unlikely to experts.
The reality is much different from such predictions. So far, both Russia and China, under the UN logo, have put pressure on the DPRK, effectively enforcing the Trump doctrine. It is reported that in the UN Security Council, Moscow supported Beijing’s proposal to end Pyongyang’s nuclear testing in exchange for abandoning the exercises of the United States and South Korea near the DPRK.

Iran: number twenty
The most important player in the Middle East arena is Iran. Despite complex relations with a number of countries in the region and with some world leaders, this state maintains and builds up its potential in various fields, including in the field of the armed forces.
In late April, 2017 was published an updated version of the well-known Global Firepower rating, which determines the defense potential of many countries around the world. The development of the army and related areas has allowed Iran to take 20 a place in the general list. With this result, he outstripped many countries in his region, leaving only Turkey ahead (8 place), Egypt (12 place) and Israel (15 place).
Of course, very limited financial opportunities lead to noticeable problems in the modernization of the army. Yet political will and certain military capabilities allow the Iranian administration not only to maintain the current state of affairs, but also to intervene in current conflicts. For example, Iranian military experts are involved in the fight against piracy in the Gulf of Aden, contribute to peacekeeping operations in Sudan, and also provide serious support to government forces in Syria.
In general, Iran successfully copes with the existing difficulties and solves the tasks. Mobilization of forces and resources combined with ideological training and other factors led to the construction of sufficiently powerful armed forces. From the point of view of defense potential, Iran rightly can be considered one of the leaders of the Middle East region.

Rear Admiral swears
Both the newest and largest warships of the Australian naval forces (universal amphibious assault ships (UDC) L 01 Adelaide and L 02 Canberra) have not left the berths since March 2017, due to problems with propulsion systems - spinners. These products manufactured by the German concern “Siemens” showed their low reliability. Ships defended in Sydney, the timing of the solution to the problem is unknown, perhaps it will take at least 6 months.
And what do we observe? The search for the guilty! But this is not possible for the debaters.
Industry and the fleet blame ... each other. Indicated, for example, inadequately qualified service of "azipods" by personnel (use fleet oils that do not meet specifications). In turn, the Deputy Commander of the Australian Navy, Rear Admiral Michael Noonan, protested these messages "in harsh form." How the commander swore, not specified.

Noticed the public
At the end of April, the Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint British Air Force, aka Project Airseeker, performed a mission off the shores of the Kaliningrad Region to collect data on the naval base of the Baltic Fleet, reports Popular Mechanics, citing foreign online publications.
“However, British intelligence officers did not suspect that hundreds of thousands of users of the Flightradar24 and Planefinder websites, which can track passenger airliners, were watching the flight of their top-secret" rivet ". RC-135W also did not go unnoticed: a spy plane with a tail number RRR7220 at an altitude of eight kilometers was seen at the borders of Russia, ”the publication says. According to observers, “the reconnaissance mission was failed miserably: the suspicious maneuvers of the Rivet Joint, at a distance of about 100 kilometers from Kaliningrad, were not ignored by the public.”
In addition, it became known that the British intelligence officer acted in escort of the American F-35A fighter-bombers in order to study the Russian air defense systems.
It becomes more and more difficult for the Western military to quietly fly reconnaissance. If before such flights were monitored by the Russian military, now the international community will be the last to help.

The secret becomes clear
The Washington Post talked about a “clear testimony” revealing the secret of why Putin “chose” Donald Trump over his election rival Hillary Clinton. The role of the “agents”, those who “merged” the documents, the disinformers is not known in detail, but it is “obvious” that Putin objected to the possible “hard line” of H. Clinton.
According to the publicist Simon Waxman, V. Putin didn’t like H. Clinton’s hard position on Russia at the time when she was secretary of state, and her harsh statements during the election campaign. Many also suggested that since Putin personally accused Clinton of supporting 2011 protests of the year against the Russian government, he has since been willing to “take revenge”.
Interestingly, according to this expert, Trump is “a militant humanist like Putin, not Clinton.” He uses the moral argument not to justify the "idealistic transformation", but as an additional weapon in the struggle for power, security, internal support, even for fame. For Putin, humanism is also a “powerful propaganda tool” that helps him to preserve his image among many Russians and allies — the image of a fair leader sticking to a firm line and preventing “western invasion.” The same can be said about Trump, whose strike on Syria was met with applause from the Americans.
Waxman’s conclusion: Mr. Trump’s “perverted” transition to “militant humanism” is ... a Clinton victory.
Perhaps this lady lost the election, but her ideology lives on.
Perhaps we add, Trump in recent weeks is putting pressure not on Syria, but on the DPRK precisely in order to dissociate itself from the accusations of "Clintonism." With regard to North Korea, the Trump team deliberately sharpened the topic of US national security, although the Koreans in no way threaten the Americans. Is that the evil propaganda videos shoot, and then in response to the American ships sailing.
However, experts in world politics, including the notorious B. Johnson from the city of London, say that Trump may hit Syria for a second time. If Putin does not leave from there.
Putin did not leave.

Vladimir Putin met with Angela Merkel. The agenda of the negotiations included the following items: implementation of the Minsk agreements, the situation in the Middle East, the fight against terrorism and, of course, the prospects for economic cooperation between Germany and Russia.
The Russian leader recalled that Germany remains the leading economic partner of Russia, “despite the well-known political difficulties and fluctuations in the global economic situation.” “Speaking about the state of affairs in bilateral trade, we noted with satisfaction the emerging growth in trade turnover: its volume increased by 43% in January-February,” Putin said. “I note that Germany is the largest buyer of Russian natural gas, and supplies from Russia cover almost 35% of the German market’s needs.”
Today, there are very few points of convergence between the leaders of the two states. In fact, the only topic on which Merkel and Putin converge is the issue of expanding economic cooperation (to put it simply, Russia's supply of energy raw materials to Germany). Frau Merkel perceives almost all the other questions critically: here the situation in Ukraine, the notorious human rights, and even readiness for closer cooperation with Russia in the fight against terrorism, which will inevitably run across the figure of Assad, against which the whole West collectively objects.
Merkel's brief visit was a purely formal event, under which Frau Chancellor showed that she is still an influential political figure in Europe. And in the world.

Not that socialism, not that capitalism
In the West, it is believed that Russia is simultaneously moving closer to its Soviet past and is immediately moving away from it. The curvature of the consciousness of the masses is apparently the political situation: instead of socialism in the country is capitalism. The latter contributes to the fact that replaced by a mass May Day demonstration came gardens and orchards. From the USSR, however, only the desire for total censorship was inherited.
The victory of kebabs, beer, private farming and other attributes of well-fed capitalist life over the communist May Day has been obvious for a long time. Therefore, the slogans of the thinned-out demonstrators have also changed. The current May Day is somewhat similar to the run-up to the next Russian holiday - Victory Day: the word “victory” often flashes on the posters of those who consider themselves to the working people according to a long-standing tradition.
The popularity of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the party that should be associated with the holiday of workers, is kept in the country at a relatively low level. In May last year, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation was ready to vote in elections, if those were held on the nearest Sunday, only 14% of voters, while for United Russia - 35% (poll data Levada Center). In reality, in the elections to the Duma (September 2016), the discrepancy between the parties turned out to be a lot more: KPRF - roundly 13%, "ER" - 54%. Figuratively speaking, more than half of the voters were in favor of kebabs and beer, and only 13% voted for the ideology of communism and images of former leaders fanned by historical glory.

Recall history adopting the same Su-27. They even had to almost completely redo the already finished experimental aircraft, when it turned out that according to its characteristics it did not reach the F-15. And what is the result? As a result, we got a car superior to the enemy in all LTH, albeit later amers, but better. It’s so happened here that we always catch up with them and even the USSR, with all its financial and industrial power, has mainly caught up with the United States. This, however, did not concern only Cosmos, there we were ahead. So what? But our managed to create weapon The best on TTX, than at mattresses. In addition, it was much cheaper and more reliable. Hurry is needed only when hunting for fleas. But another principle must not be forgotten: hurry hurry, and then you can be completely late. In general, we must look for a middle ground, and I think so that ours have found it, this is Su-35 ... A beautiful car, not inferior to the mattress "fifth" generation. Another thing is that there are very few of them in the troops. But here again, the legacy of the damned 90-x, and even a permanent crisis in the economy. But this is a discussion from another area.

And more information on the Syrian theme: Deputy Director of the Department of New Challenges and Threats of the Russian Foreign Ministry Dmitry Feoktistov said that during the Syrian campaign, the Russian aerospace forces destroyed more than three thousand petrol tankers of terrorists and more 200 refineries for processing and pumping oil products.

It is expected that the memorandum on the creation of de-escalation zones in Syria will be signed in Astana.
Recall, April 3 began inter-Syrian negotiations there, in which Russia, Turkey and Iran act as mediators. Among the observer countries are the United States. This time, Washington raised its level of representation by delegating an assistant secretary of state.
The memorandum states that the guarantors of the cease-fire in Syria are Russia, Turkey and Iran.

These security zones will become time bombs. The same Idlib has long been turned into a gadyushnik, where all the fighters who had left Aleppo settled down from the suburbs of Damascus. What is the calculation? The fact that they are all re-educated and become good? Rave. The policy of Russia in Syria from the show-theater more and more turns into an ostrich one.

Strategists are wrong
Washington strategists expressed concern that Moscow and Beijing would create a “formalized” alliance and could go ... to an armed conflict with the United States. The military alliance of the Russians and the Chinese looks strong enough to have enough power for an “intense and long war” with the overseas superpower. However, the military scenario seems unlikely to experts.

The reality is much different from such predictions. So far, both Russia and China, under the UN logo, have put pressure on the DPRK, effectively enforcing the Trump doctrine. It is reported that in the UN Security Council, Moscow supported Beijing’s proposal to end Pyongyang’s nuclear testing in exchange for abandoning the exercises of the United States and South Korea near the DPRK.

Logical decision. I think that no one wants to get a nuclear desert next door because of a cheeky. Not the Koreans themselves will explode, so the Americans will help.

Here it is just useless.
Even if the Americans agree, the DPRK will stop the tests, and the Americans will immediately continue the provocations. Because they are Americans.
And how, interestingly, South Korea can conduct exercises "not near" the borders of the DPRK. There the whole country is near the borders.

Iran: number twenty
The most important player in the Middle East arena is Iran. Despite complex relations with a number of countries in the region and with some world leaders, this state maintains and builds up its potential in various fields, including in the field of the armed forces.
In late April, 2017 was published an updated version of the well-known Global Firepower rating, which determines the defense potential of many countries around the world. The development of the army and related areas has allowed Iran to take 20 a place in the general list. With this result, he outstripped many countries in his region, leaving only Turkey ahead (8 place), Egypt (12 place) and Israel (15 place).
Of course, very limited financial opportunities lead to noticeable problems in the modernization of the army. Yet political will and certain military capabilities allow the Iranian administration not only to maintain the current state of affairs, but also to intervene in current conflicts. For example, Iranian military experts are involved in the fight against piracy in the Gulf of Aden, contribute to peacekeeping operations in Sudan, and also provide serious support to government forces in Syria.
In general, Iran successfully copes with the existing difficulties and solves the tasks. Mobilization of forces and resources combined with ideological training and other factors led to the construction of sufficiently powerful armed forces. From the point of view of defense potential, Iran rightly can be considered one of the leaders of the Middle East region.

Rear Admiral swears
Both the newest and largest warships of the Australian naval forces (universal amphibious assault ships (UDC) L 01 Adelaide and L 02 Canberra) have not left the berths since March 2017, due to problems with propulsion systems - spinners. These products manufactured by the German concern “Siemens” showed their low reliability. Ships defended in Sydney, the timing of the solution to the problem is unknown, perhaps it will take at least 6 months.
And what do we observe? The search for the guilty! But this is not possible for the debaters.
Industry and the fleet blame ... each other. Indicated, for example, inadequately qualified service of "azipods" by personnel (use fleet oils that do not meet specifications). In turn, the Deputy Commander of the Australian Navy, Rear Admiral Michael Noonan, protested these messages "in harsh form." How the commander swore, not specified.

Noticed the public
At the end of April, the Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint British Air Force, aka Project Airseeker, performed a mission off the shores of the Kaliningrad Region to collect data on the naval base of the Baltic Fleet, reports Popular Mechanics, citing foreign online publications.
“However, British intelligence officers did not suspect that hundreds of thousands of users of the Flightradar24 and Planefinder websites, which can track passenger airliners, were watching the flight of their top-secret" rivet ". RC-135W also did not go unnoticed: a spy plane with a tail number RRR7220 at an altitude of eight kilometers was seen at the borders of Russia, ”the publication says. According to observers, “the reconnaissance mission was failed miserably: the suspicious maneuvers of the Rivet Joint, at a distance of about 100 kilometers from Kaliningrad, were not ignored by the public.”
In addition, it became known that the British intelligence officer acted in escort of the American F-35A fighter-bombers in order to study the Russian air defense systems.
It becomes more and more difficult for the Western military to quietly fly reconnaissance. If before such flights were monitored by the Russian military, now the international community will be the last to help.

The secret becomes clear
The Washington Post talked about a “clear testimony” revealing the secret of why Putin “chose” Donald Trump over his election rival Hillary Clinton. The role of the “agents”, those who “merged” the documents, the disinformers is not known in detail, but it is “obvious” that Putin objected to the possible “hard line” of H. Clinton.
According to the publicist Simon Waxman, V. Putin didn’t like H. Clinton’s hard position on Russia at the time when she was secretary of state, and her harsh statements during the election campaign. Many also suggested that since Putin personally accused Clinton of supporting 2011 protests of the year against the Russian government, he has since been willing to “take revenge”.
Interestingly, according to this expert, Trump is “a militant humanist like Putin, not Clinton.” He uses the moral argument not to justify the "idealistic transformation", but as an additional weapon in the struggle for power, security, internal support, even for fame. For Putin, humanism is also a “powerful propaganda tool” that helps him to preserve his image among many Russians and allies — the image of a fair leader sticking to a firm line and preventing “western invasion.” The same can be said about Trump, whose strike on Syria was met with applause from the Americans.
Waxman’s conclusion: Mr. Trump’s “perverted” transition to “militant humanism” is ... a Clinton victory.
Perhaps this lady lost the election, but her ideology lives on.
Perhaps we add, Trump in recent weeks is putting pressure not on Syria, but on the DPRK precisely in order to dissociate itself from the accusations of "Clintonism." With regard to North Korea, the Trump team deliberately sharpened the topic of US national security, although the Koreans in no way threaten the Americans. Is that the evil propaganda videos shoot, and then in response to the American ships sailing.
However, experts in world politics, including the notorious B. Johnson from the city of London, say that Trump may hit Syria for a second time. If Putin does not leave from there.
Putin did not leave.

In fact, Putin is quite an experienced politician to understand that it is not Clinton and Trump who are shaping the strategy of US foreign policy. There is a steady "group of influential people" who are the true creators of American politics, foreign and domestic. Whatever the future and elected presidents of the United States may state, they will do exactly what they are told to do. Trump's behavior is more proof of this. In this context, Trump was beneficial to us not because he would throw himself into Putin’s arms and begin to “be friends.” A friend of him is no better than Clinton. Trump simply, with his vague gestures, creates such turbulence within the United States that the European allies sensed the weakening of the lord's hand on their neck. And as a result - incomprehensible waverings of Hungary, Italy, France. Yes, and Merkel said something differently. With Clinton, everything would be exactly the same as under Obama. And the EU would stand, as before, at attention. That's the whole difference. In three lines. And here they talk about Syria and Ukraine as independent phenomena at a time when these are just tools in an attempt to drive Russia into a “stall”. And by the way Putin reacts, you can only make sure that this is the way it is. The main conflict takes place along the axis of the USA - Russia - China. All other "wars" are only the background of this confrontation and a means to correct the economy. The issues of humanity, liberality, human rights and other "moral aspects" are for the electorate, so that they will not be busted when they see the figures for the next budget. And about Clinton's "ideology" - I roll under the table ...
Monster_Fat
What nonsense write newspaper. Putin did not "merge" anyone and did not "choose". Clintons was hacked to death by a “shadow cabinet,” the US governor. Against the Clinton family, too much dirt was accumulated because of their dirty trading business, if it were possible, they could have been pulled out and inflated a scandal, and not necessarily Putin. Here that this did not happen and put Trump. In addition, Trump was put in order to cut all the Gordian knots that had accumulated in the US (and indeed in the whole world), and which the previous administrations did not dare to touch, writing off the consequences of his insanity and unpredictability. , and after the "write off" and Trump himself or "impeachment" or "heart attack", or "bullet agent of the Kremlin." And then the time will come or go back to Clintons, or to someone else, "more comfortable" ...
ARES623
This is unlikely. Trump crawled out like hell out of a box. Nobody waited, All media vs Trump so far. And the media is governed by that very "shadow". And if, for any reason, Trump does not “reach out” to the end of his term, then Clinton will not take the Oval Office anyway. And after four years, Clinton will become even older and more painful. And no matter who comes to power in the United States, the essence of the country's political line will not change.
Influential frau
Vladimir Putin met with Angela Merkel. The agenda of the negotiations included the following items: implementation of the Minsk agreements, the situation in the Middle East, the fight against terrorism and, of course, the prospects for economic cooperation between Germany and Russia.
The Russian leader recalled that Germany remains the leading economic partner of Russia, “despite the well-known political difficulties and fluctuations in the global economic situation.” “Speaking about the state of affairs in bilateral trade, we noted with satisfaction the emerging growth in trade turnover: its volume increased by 43% in January-February,” Putin said. “I note that Germany is the largest buyer of Russian natural gas, and supplies from Russia cover almost 35% of the German market’s needs.”
Today, there are very few points of convergence between the leaders of the two states. In fact, the only topic on which Merkel and Putin converge is the issue of expanding economic cooperation (to put it simply, Russia's supply of energy raw materials to Germany). Frau Merkel perceives almost all the other questions critically: here the situation in Ukraine, the notorious human rights, and even readiness for closer cooperation with Russia in the fight against terrorism, which will inevitably run across the figure of Assad, against which the whole West collectively objects.
Merkel's brief visit was a purely formal event, under which Frau Chancellor showed that she is still an influential political figure in Europe. And in the world.

Merkel made an on-call meeting with Putin on the same duty trip. On this, in fact, everything. Nothing new or intelligent was expected from this meeting, and these expectations were completely justified.
To be or not to be
Frau has elections on his nose. And she needs the voices of the electorate. Here and galloped ... for voices.
Listening to their press conference ... a complete divergence in the main directions of foreign policy. Only the Minsk Agreement: both are FOR.
As for gas, gas went from the USSR to Europe.
In the history of the Anglo-Saxons always prevented the formation of the axis of Berlin - Moscow. And this time they do and will do everything so that a broken curve emerges from the axis. From this, Germany only loses.

I watched the press conference yesterday. It was enough to hear from the chancellor that "the change of power in Ukraine took place in a democratic way," and everything was put in its place. Seeing nothing and not hearing Europe, led by Germany, will continue to put sticks in the wheels.
Not that socialism, not that capitalism
In the West, it is believed that Russia is simultaneously moving closer to its Soviet past and is immediately moving away from it. The curvature of the consciousness of the masses is apparently the political situation: instead of socialism in the country is capitalism. The latter contributes to the fact that replaced by a mass May Day demonstration came gardens and orchards. From the USSR, however, only the desire for total censorship was inherited.
The victory of kebabs, beer, private farming and other attributes of well-fed capitalist life over the communist May Day has been obvious for a long time. Therefore, the slogans of the thinned-out demonstrators have also changed. The current May Day is somewhat similar to the run-up to the next Russian holiday - Victory Day: the word “victory” often flashes on the posters of those who consider themselves to the working people according to a long-standing tradition.
The popularity of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the party that should be associated with the holiday of workers, is kept in the country at a relatively low level. In May last year, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation was ready to vote in elections, if those were held on the nearest Sunday, only 14% of voters, while for United Russia - 35% (poll data Levada Center). In reality, in the elections to the Duma (September 2016), the discrepancy between the parties turned out to be a lot more: KPRF - roundly 13%, "ER" - 54%. Figuratively speaking, more than half of the voters were in favor of kebabs and beer, and only 13% voted for the ideology of communism and images of former leaders fanned by historical glory.

Americans, oddly enough, have calculated the real attitude of the Russians to the office of Medvedev. Apparently, this attitude "in open social networks" is strikingly beyond the eyes of overseas analysts. So they developed a multidistributor to discredit Medvedev. Vladimir Vladimirovich will remove it, they will write it down as an asset, and they will blow up about it at every corner. He will not remove, they will water that the president is at one with the "embezzlers". Along the way, additional operations are carried out to discredit the authorities.
At first glance, everything is logical and consistent. But ... The president can also remove the prime minister, and, figuratively speaking, put Chubais in prison. Then the whole scheme conceived by the West collapses.

All with the last Day of International Solidarity of Workers and the upcoming Victory Day of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War!
Previously, May Day had a natural content and name, and now a politically correct name (Day of Spring and Labor) and no content. As for the desire of people to quickly leave for hacienda, it is not private ownership aspirations, but the natural desire of people to change the situation and grow something of their own, and not have chemistry from supermarkets. And when the USSR people sought to give, no one of the philistinism in this did not see. In the USSR, there was a lot of pretentiousness and formalism (and now perhaps less?), But behind all this pretentiousness all the rights of workers were respected. Even those that Western workers did not dream. For example, free housing and trips. The bourgeois over the hill were forced, especially after World War II, to mainly respect the rights of workers in order to reduce the risk of social and political protests. For most people, the day of spring and labor is just an extra day off, and for the authorities and near-power structures it is a reason to show that we have another official reason for the show unity. We now, unfortunately, all the workers are every man for himself, if only he does not lose his job. The only thing that still somehow unites the population in Russia is the Day of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. This holy holiday of power is being exploited intensively in order to extend a little longer. And then different provocations like N. Poklonskaya are allowed, either with a portrait, or with an icon of the former emperor Nicholas 2, for the action "Immortal regiment". But, unfortunately, the memory of the Great Victory is gradually fading into the past along with honored veterans. As for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, it’s just a parody of the Communists, an illusion of the opposition, an opportunity for the authorities to dispose of the “protest” electorate in the next election.
