March of Heroes from the Sixth Chamber
March 16 on the streets of Riga was held a very familiar event for modern Latvia: the march of veterans of the Latvian SS Legion. Under the white and brown banners, several “heroes” shuffled around the city, which, by the way, is the capital of a state that is part of the European Union.
There were really only a few old “heroes”, but they were accompanied by an impressive crowd consisting of the Latvian “heroes” of the new spill. Bravura marches, ear-to-ear smiles and an indestructible expression of joy for, without a doubt, a glorious past, were given out by those who actively welcomed the irresistible “patriotism” of the Latvian Nazis. In the crowd were also deputies from the ruling coalition. Everyone literally read happiness from the fact that during the war years soldiers of the Latvian SS Legion, who unequivocally fought for the freedom and independence of Latvia, killed tens of thousands of civilians not only in Latvia itself, but also within the borders of modern Poland and Belarus . But how about that? You need to fight for your independence so that villages burn with people locked up in large barns. It is necessary to fight for independence in such a way that everyone who disagrees with such independence will rot in the concentration camp. It is necessary to fight for independence unequivocally with the words: “Jews, your place in the cemetery!” And “Russian invaders - death!” For Latvia, apparently, there is no other way ...
Any sensible person, seeing this costume show in front of him with representatives of the Latvian legislators in the same line with the accomplices of the fascists, understood the meaning of the phrase “fists itch” very directly. However, this time they did not enter into hand-to-hand combat with marching "people's favorites" and with those who supported these favorites under the white arms. And indeed, what will change if the situation again results in what is usually called wall to wall. Broken noses and loose teeth in this case, most likely, will no longer convince the “heroes” of their wrongfulness.
This march should be treated only as a column of mentally ill individuals whom they decided to show the whole world: they say look good people if you try to rewrite historical facts, then the same thing can happen to you. You know that insane people really need fresh air in order not to completely quarrel with the latest sparks of brain activity: here they walk around Riga, breathe the Baltic air, maybe someone in the crowd even managed to heal with the famous patriotic Riga balm and get stuck his no less patriotic Latvian sprats ...
Well, if there were also representatives of the Latvian authorities among the walking insane, so it seems that they were sitting in a room in their ward No. XXUMX, and they decided to grab their banners, and arrange an open day with an exit for everyone to see. This only proves once again that Latvia is, you know, the most democratic country in the world: here even the patients of psychiatric clinics have the opportunity to feel like heroes.
As a result, the patients passed, and then it was necessary to proceed to the hospital for the next emergency hospital - a bed room, hopefully, that's enough for everyone. And if not enough, Russia will help ... Well, that you, in fact, the Russians are not mad at the patients.
"Billy, charge!"
March the twelfth was filled with events related to “Augustus. Eighth. " First and foremost, we are talking about Ukraine. First, the press got the information that the official authorities of Ukraine (Ministry of Culture) revoked the license for the rental of the film by the Russian director Dzhanik Fayziev. The ban on the film by that time concerned two more CIS countries: Moldova and Azerbaijan. And in early March, Ukraine joined this sweet couple. This caused a storm of enthusiasm from outside the country’s over-patriotic citizens, who caught Russia trying to impose its vision of the events of the 2008 model of the year on independent Ukraine. It was reported that such a decision was taken as a friendly move towards the brotherly people of Georgia. In a number of Ukrainian publications called “August. Eighth, "everything with anything, but not a feature film. In general, the followers of the glorious ideas of Viktor Yushchenko enjoyed the joy at the ban of the Russian band.
But here is bad luck. Some time passed, and it turned out that the Russian film dedicated to the conflict between Russia and Georgia, 2008, will still be admitted to a mass show in Ukraine. Such a blow below the belt from their Ministry of Culture "vilna Ukrainian patriots" is clearly not expected. What to do? Extinguish the fire with the help of gorilka? Or maybe review their homegrown documentaries about the heroic deeds of Stepana Bandera? And maybe again with tents but on the Maidan? And while the Ukrainian “prohibitors” are thinking about the revenge on their choice of the Ministry of Culture, they can only rejoice over their neighbors from Chisinau. And this joy must be truly exorbitant.
Well, judge for yourself, for almost three years Moldovans could not elect a president. Three acting persons were replaced, and Chisinau - in any way. And after all, this should happen: it was enough to see a “terrible Russian film” out of Moldova’s eye, as Moldovan parliamentarians almost had to vote for at least some president with two hands. And Nikolay Timofti got into the presidency of 16 in March. Literally, he was seated by parliamentarians. I did not want to - this is another question. In general, he has been sitting for a couple of days, thinking ... Apparently, the creation of Janik Fayziev impressed our Moldovan friends so much that he “had the will” in fire order. Immediately there was a political coalition, which was not in the country for several years. But it’s not for nothing that Lenin once said that cinema is the most important of the arts ...
It seems that everything is in order with the president in Azerbaijan, therefore, apparently banning the Russian film seems to be a gift to Mikhail Saakashvili on the five-year anniversary of the unanimous decision of the Georgian parliament to join NATO. Well, to sweeten the pill to your neighbor. And it’s not enough that the Alliance doesn’t accept Mikhail Nikolozovich, and even these Russian directors are fussing out - they release all kinds of films. So we decided to show that the Azerbaijani sympathy towards Tbilisi is like humanitarian aid. In Baku, we thought that we would officially ban it, and there, in fact, the Internet is there: who needs it, and so they will see ... They have banned the rooster to trample chickens ...
In general, Janik Fayziev should be happy. Not every Russian director gets such an advertisement from the leaders of the former Union Republics. Now, those Russian filmmakers who want to break through their tapes into multimillion-dollar rental should be advised to make films such as The Bitterness of a Red Tie or Take the Tube, George!
Milkmaid and captive
The story with one of the main "military captives" of recent times - Private Andrei Popov ended prosperously and corny. The story of the appearance of a private soldier, who had been absent for 11 years, made a great impression on many Russians. Recall that Private Popov disappeared in the 2000 year from the military unit in which he served, and appeared in his homeland (in the Saratov Region) in the summer of 2011, stating that he had been forcibly held at one of the Dagestan brick factories for a long time. A storm of indignation among the public was caused by the fact that the Saratov law enforcement officers, instead of meeting with the bread and salt, who returned from the "heavy captivity of the hero", took him into custody on charges of desertion. Popov felt sorry for everything from Kaliningrad to the Kuril Islands, but not the investigators of the prosecutor's office, who decided to check the testimonies of the private. After checking, it turned out a lot of interesting details about the decade of "captivity" of the serviceman. It turned out that Andrei Popov in captivity managed to acquire computer equipment and a new mobile phone, and the “monsters-overseers” literally forced him to register at Odnoklassniki and comment on the status of beautiful girls ... At the same time, the “Caucasian captive” never called his he didn’t tell his relatives that he languishes in the Dagestan "dungeons".
But the “misadventures” of ordinary Andrei Popov on the “coercion to Odnoklassniki” did not end. Local "torturers" brought Andrew to ... the wedding. They literally with a lasso around their necks forced the “Russian hero” to marry a Dagestan 42-year-old milkmaid. This is torture, this is torture ... The wedding between ordinary Popov and the milkmaid Kurbanchieva was played according to Muslim custom, as a result of which they inflicted another irremediable emotional and physical injury to the soldier, namely, circumcision.
In what way, the “hero” managed to escape from the tenacious embrace of the loving Dagestani milkmaid, the investigation did not begin to establish, but it established another episode of their life as a prisoner. Before being “captured” by bloodthirsty Dagestani bricklayers, Andrei Popov voluntarily languished in one of the Saratov basements for about 3 weeks after leaving a military unit in 2000.
In general, after such details, it is safe to say that the land has filled the storytellers at all times. Andersen, the Grimm brothers, Astrid Lidgren, Private Popov ... Only now the Russian storyteller did not receive the key to the city, but a couple of years of a colony-settlement, where he could no doubt transfer all his torments to paper - there is time.
Trojan horse tramples on F-35
During the week, the British accused Chinese hackers of hacking into BAE Systems' computers in order to obtain information about the design features and characteristics of the F-35 aircraft. At the same time, in London they said that although they are extremely concerned about the extreme activity of Chinese cyber spies, they are still confident that British computer networks compare favorably with the fact that at any moment they can determine who stole military secrets, where he stole and why. Without a doubt, this is a real achievement of Her Majesty's antivirus and antispyware programmers. It's one thing to know who stole, another thing to return the stolen ... In principle, in the case of the usual Chinese copy-paste in this case, the return of the stolen loses all meaning.
Immediately you can imagine how much time and money the Chinese authorities are saving on extracting classified information. Where it is necessary to introduce agents, invent legends for them, allocate huge money for the maintenance of residency, the PRC costs the good old Trojans ready to gallop around the British and American databases and collect everything that Beijing needs.
True, there were thoughts about the fact that the Chinese were stealing the terrible secrets of F-35 - this is just a duck, which covers the current inability to bring the fighter to mind. Perhaps it was the scandals with the interception of information about the systems of the aircraft F-35 and the fact that the Canadians suddenly decided to postpone the signing of the contract for the purchase of this aircraft.
Whatever it was, but it is not necessary to deny that modern espionage is far from being as romantic as in the times of Colonel Isaev. Where pastor Schlag, Professor Pleischner, and at least one radio operator, Kate, are now needed, they are completely managed by one code lieutenant Lee, who with the help of program codes can extract a decent fish from muddy water. Army of Chinese Troyans - the answer to the expansion of NATO! Now imagine if the West would speak to the address of the Chinese spyware software “And I will ask you to stay ...” or at least occasionally disconnect computers with secret information from the Internet. So much for “Eustace Alex” made in China.
Demob train
This week, passions flared up around the NATO transit point near Ulyanovsk. The top military and foreign officials are trying with all their might to reassure the Russian public, presenting literally iron arguments every time. First, Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin said that there is no need to be afraid of American dry closets, namely dry closets and toilet rolls, according to Rogozin, will go by rail over the territory of Russia. Then he added iron to the argument that the Ulyanovsk center was white and fluffy, the deputy head of the Foreign Ministry, Mr. Lukashevich. He said that there would not be a single person from the NATO personnel at the Ulyanovsk transit point.
If you combine the words of two high-ranking Russian officials, then something like this will happen near Ulyanovsk. First, NATO cargo will fly by air from Afghanistan. If the NATO troops are suddenly accompanied by cargo, they will have to overload unused purpose rolls and toilets into trucks to get to the railway with short dashes, crawls and rolls of blindfolded eyes. All of this will be monitored, as Minister of Defense Serdyukov, representatives of the Russian special services, said earlier.
They run, it means that a couple of NATO with a dry closet, and next to them with a dozen of our “people in black”, so that those toilets in the right direction would carry ... Upon arrival at the transshipment railway point, the NATO escorts will have to disappear (after traveling on our soft KamAZ "And" Urals "), and the Ulyanovsk movers, who responded to Serdyukov’s ad in a local newspaper, will come into action. These guys will load NATO's belongings into Russian echelons with glass breakage naturally, with unwinding of toilet paper and other events accompanying the big relocation. And as soon as the last roll is thrown into the car for the transportation of coal, so the composition will roll in the direction of the Baltic, skipping all the fast and lettered.
It is terrible to think what NATO sparkling cargoes will turn out after such a trip ... And it’s even more terrible to think what will happen with the Alliance military personnel accompanying the cargo by rail, because they don’t know that at our stations the toilets in the cars are locked by a conductor and their toilets sealed the Russian special services. They will be lucky if they don’t get into the compartments of the Russian demobels with guitars ... If they knew such a scenario of moving to Brussels and Washington, it would be better to get a direct channel from the Indian Ocean to Afghanistan so that they could swim their biotules through it ...
