President flint ...
On Friday, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine considered the issue of returning to the 2004 constitution of the year, limiting the rights of the president in favor of parliament, as well as the issue of creating a so-called technical government - the “transitional government”.
By Friday evening, the voting was completed, and the draft on the return of the 2004 constitution of the year was adopted. 386 parliamentarians expressed their “yes”. This is more on 86 than was necessary to make the appropriate provision. The fact that the Rada will vote "for", in principle, it became clear immediately after Viktor Yanukovych himself said that he was not against the return of the constitution 10-year-old. At the same time, the president “flint” also agreed to the early election of the head of state ... Well, Viktor Fedorovich, well, a lump ...
In general, for all the concessions that one could imagine, Yanukovych went. It would seem that the radicals after that should dismantle the barricades and go home, again burying berdanki in Bandera caches (until the next Maidan), but the barricades are not only not dismantled, but even reinforced with brickwork and concrete blocks. What does this say? The fact that extremists have long been a rage - no political decisions can affect the course of events. And if they are not capable of influencing political decisions, then ... But what are we talking about? - Viktor Fedorovich - this is a well-known humanist ... And what if the president of Ukraine is aiming for the Nobel Peace Prize to stand in one row, for example, with Mikhail Gorbachev? ..

He admitted that he and his colleagues were threatened, but noted that they "will not retreat" and "will stand to the end."
Verkhovna Rada deputy from the Party of Regions Vadim Kolesnichenko called the events in Ukraine a coup d'etat and stressed that each region must "develop in proportion to their contribution to the economy."
Oleg Tsarev, deputy head of the Party of Regions faction of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, noted that an armed seizure of power had taken place in the country. He urged the participants of the congress to do everything possible so that this did not happen in those regions where a stable situation still exists, in particular, in Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov and Crimea. According to Tsarev, there are no guarantees that 20 thousands of armed people from Kiev will not be in the south-east of the country. He stressed that the main task is "not to allow chaos."
Russia was represented at the congress by the head of the Duma committee on international affairs, Alexei Pushkov, the governors of the Voronezh, Belgorod, Rostov and Bryansk regions. Their performances were greeted with applause, ITAR-TASS.

Sochi says goodbye to the Olympics
Winter Olympics 2014 ends. The Olympics, which makes us think about the development of sports, about the impact on the results of not only the direct talent of athletes, but also numerous technologies. Little things, nuances, tricks - today they also make their own quite significant contribution to the victory of one or another team, this or that athlete. As it is hardly possible in our time, the Olympics without politics and outside politics, so it is hardly possible to Olympics without technological struggle, which directly fits with the development of science.
At the time of the preparation of the material, the Russian team occupied the first team place in the total and in the number of awards won and in the number of gold medals. This sports triumph, which is a huge step forward after the failure of the Russian team in Vancouver, where our athletes managed to get only three "gold" for the whole team. True, and below Vancouver-2010, it seems, is simply nowhere ...
Aerobatics of Russian figure skating, bobsleigh, short track, skeleton. Even the Russian biathlon, which many fans simply gave up after a series of setbacks and scandals, “shot” in the men's relay. Yesterday, many Russian fans could, with the word “Russian gold on short track,” have a smile. Today it is an objective reality. One Victor An has made a miracle of three gold medals in Sochi! Koreans clearly bite their elbows. Yes, and the Americans have something to bite, because their former Victor Wilde also stands for the Russian national team and brings Russia gold awards. Someone will say that this is "someone else's gold." But let me ... Not all the Russians alone stand up for foreign teams (for example, biathlon Kuzmina).
Is there any reason to be upset? And he too is. Not exactly pleased (and to put it mildly) hockey players. More waited from the skaters. And frankly it is a pity for those boys from the orphanage to whom one businessman (we will not call his name) presented several tickets for the hockey Olympic final, where everyone hoped to see the Russians and our common victory. Not grown together ... Getting ready to look at others. Sorry, sorry, three times sorry, but what happened has happened, and you can tear your hair out, blame athletes and coaches for all deadly sins, but still you shouldn’t forget the main thing - it’s a sport, and it wins in sport (at least must win) the strongest. It is hardly worth it because of this, sprinkle ashes on your head ... Already pretty much spilled ... And why sprinkle, if our winter roads are one of the best athletes in the world. This shows the results of the Olympics.
A significant step forward in the development of domestic sports has been made. There are more cases, conclusions and decisions ahead. Was the Olympic holiday a success? Undoubtedly!
And as a small nuance: they wanted to make their contribution to the Olympiad and “Pussy” - they made ... The episode with the “walk” of the Cossack whip on girls, who, apparently, still misunderstood something in the colony, is an excellent touch to the Olympic program. Of course, we are not bloodthirsty at all, but let them not spoil a beautiful sports festival with their appearance ...

Iraq wants to go faster
Russian-made deliveries of military products to Iraq are on schedule, but Iraqis would like to speed up the process. This was stated by the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov. One of the reasons that is pushing the Iraqis to ask Russia to accelerate the pace of arms supplies is an acute and unresolved problem of terrorist activity in Iraq’s “democratised” territory.
It, of course, Russia may well accelerate and deliver to Iraq all those weapons that we are talking about in the contract, immediately "in a crowd", but only, as Comrade Saakhov said: "You don’t need to hurry (well, or this: the torpiss") ". The memories of the Russian writing off of Iraq after NATO’s “democratization” of its debt in almost 13 billion dollars are still fresh in memory. Write off the debt of a country that in terms of hydrocarbon reserves is one of the leading places in the Middle East! As the saying goes: he forgives everyone whom Iraq owes ... Or only to Russia? ..
Obviously, Iraq understands perfectly well that it’s not at all necessary to pay for Russia's weapons now ... They say that there are still more such "democracies" ahead - they must be taken while they give, and the more, the better. And in this regard, the question arises: did they manage to take the prepayment from the Iraqis, or did they decide to wait again - they say, “later” they will pay ...

In the ranks of sea pilots of the North fleet another centurion appeared. This is the name of the person who made one hundred landings on the deck of an aircraft carrier (aircraft carrier cruiser). There were four such aces in Russia. Lieutenant Colonel Igor Tsukur became the fifth. The "extreme" hundred landings on an aircraft carrier were exchanged in quite combat conditions - Russian pilots are engaged in air patrolling off the coast of Syria.
One of those news, which not only inspires optimism, but also gives reason to be proud of the Russian fleet, Russian military pilots. Out of the dullness and despondency of catastrophic timelessness, when sailors (and sea pilots, of course, too) could only dream of warships embarking on a long voyage, Russia proceeded to restore its combat power. Of course, there is still a lot of work ahead, but the beginning of such work has been laid, and, as you can see, it has been laid productively and efficiently. The experience with which the domestic fleet and sea aviation, certainly will not be superfluous. It will not be superfluous especially due to the fact that the “friends” of Russia are sleeping and seeing how to tear the country apart, having realized their own strategic tasks, they are sleeping and seeing how to bring things to the Maidan already at Manezhka or at the Palace ...

Where is the Russian-Chukhon border?
In the week, the foreign ministers of Russia and Estonia - Sergey Lavrov and Urmas Paet - put their signatures on the border treaty. At the same time, many news agencies presented this event as a truly breakthrough: they say that the parliamentarians quickly ratify the agreement both in Moscow and in Tallinn, and therefore now there can be no territorial claims from the two states to each other. Of course, signing a border treaty between neighbors is a necessary and correct thing. However, with the euphoria about this and the words about the absence of territorial claims should be postponed.
So that the Estonian parliamentarians once again do not “supplement” the contract with their own points (“one person”), as was already the case in 2005, the Russian parliamentary delegation even went to Tallinn. How popular will our parliamentarians be to explain to their Estonian colleagues that the document signed by Lavrov and Paet should be ratified, and not what the most zealous Estonian lawmaker will write in this document with a pencil ... interesting question ...
By the way, in Estonia itself, the estimates of the signed agreement are ambiguous. Nationalist organizations demand stiffness from the authorities: they say, we must again demand that Russia recognize Estonia, for example, Pechora, Ivangorod and Izborsk (as in the Tartu Peace Treaty of 1920, which in Estonia is not inferior to the Bible in Estonia ...)
And, for example, Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip, said that the new treaty will only increase the security of Estonia ... Sorry for the incorrect question: what will increase? ..

Some kind of insurmountable struggle to fight with monuments (or even with places where monuments stood at the time) is observed in certain political and social circles of the Baltic republics. In Estonia (and not only in it), the Estonian economy did not have enough time to take into account the losses it had suffered from hackers because of the transfer of the Bronze Soldier (Monument to Tallinn’s Liberators from Nazism) from the center of the Estonian capital to the memorial cemetery. attacks on bank sites by opponents of the actual reference of the memorial in 2007, as in this “small but proud country”, they again decided to play with their “national identity” and arrange another provocation.
In Estonia, with the support of the authorities on the site of a memorial to fallen Soviet soldiers in battles for the liberation of the republic from Nazism (on the site of the Bronze Soldier), they are now going to open a memorial to the victims of communism and the victims of Soviet occupation. 55 columns with the names of "tortured".
Apparently, these 55 pillars will have to convince the entire million of the remaining, and not left for work to Britain or Sweden, Estonians that the Soviet occupation of Estonia was “the same”. But then, you know, people can’t figure out in any way: why they didn’t notice this occupation, and who, in fact, its victim ... Maybe they “occupied” at night, while the Estonians slept peacefully, and in the morning, the “occupants” covered their tracks, building factories , hospitals, schools, theaters and libraries ...

Letters from oligarchs
From awareness of a possible civil war, gentlemen, the Ukrainian oligarchs began to shake.
February 19 "Ukrainian Truth" led by Dmitry Firtash, who spoke in support of a peaceful resolution of the conflict. The text of the appeal of Firtash addressed to the leadership of the country was distributed by the Federation of Employers headed by a businessman.
“Ukraine has come close to civil war in the last 24 hours,” Firtash believes. “The Federation of Employers and I personally support exclusively a peaceful solution to the political crisis. The use of force by any of the parties is unacceptable, ”he noted. And here is the main message: “Ukraine is a young, but strong and united state. Ukrainian business opposes any actions that may lead to the division of Ukraine. We are for a strong country, for its economic and social development, for the growth of citizens' welfare. All this is possible only in peacetime. ”
Similar statements, which also traced anxiety for "increased welfare," were made by other oligarchs.
Rinat Akhmetov convincedthat "there are no such circumstances that justify the use of force against the civilian population." This is stated in a popular statement by the press secretary Akhmetov.
Akhmetov also calls for “stopping the bloodshed on the streets of Kiev, for all opposing forces to urgently return to the negotiation process and not for a minute stop working until a solution is found for Ukraine’s withdrawal from a deep political crisis.”
Expressed through the press service and businessman Victor Pinchuk. His words are given by Tatyana Fedorkova ("Mediaport").
Resolution of the conflict between the government and the protesters should be achieved by peaceful means, the statement says. “A peaceful solution must be found, it is necessary to refrain from the use of force, and to find a compromise,” said Pinchuk.
According to the businessman, it is time for a compromise. “For each of us,” noted Pinchuk, “love for Ukraine should be much more important than any other feelings and interests.”
It seems, however, that if some “feelings and interests” are driven by oligarchs, then this is “love” for money, which, when the country goes beyond the “threshold” of the civil war, will remain in their pockets and accounts are far from fully. It is important for the oligarch to keep their capital under any authority. And statements about the world are a neutral position that suits both ours and yours. That is why the treatment is surprisingly similar, as if one speechwriter wrote them.
Anyone who loves his country, does not declare publicly about love. This man, like the Kharkov mayor of Kernes, says that his city lives and works, and nothing will remain of the possible local “Maidan” “for one hour”.
That's it.

"While I am writing this, there is a great battle on Euromaidan not only for Ukraine, but also for the future of Europe and, in many respects, for the future of the world, which may sound too much at Churchillian at first glance, but just think: democratic protests that shook the world from Thailand to Turkey, Ukrainian ones occur closest to the West, ”says journalist Melik Kaylan in an article published by Forbes (a source in the translation "Inopressa").
“We can easily drown in a long list of our own problems,” says the author of the article. “In the end, the EU will not even pay Ukrainian energy bills or budget deficits. Russia will do it with readiness, ”he notes. We also know, the author argues, that autocrats often seek quick improvements in chaos, while democratic leaders are paralyzed by official procedures (compare China and India).
What should the West do? “Let's select the sharpest propaganda tools that we handed to autocrats,” advises the journalist.
In some regions of Ukraine supporting Yanukovych, posters with inscriptions have spread: “The EU means legalization of same-sex marriages”. “One thing is to demand respect for basic human rights, and another is to demand a sexual revolution,” the author believes.
“Another problem: globalization of finance ... We cannot demand that international banks and groups of companies, like Russian oligarchs, own the natural resources of others,” says Kaylan.
“We must put an end to our own nascent fragmentation and erosion of national-state identity. No other countries will subscribe for the loss of their statehood and traditions, ”the article says.
“Those who want to join us, even in our present state, may better understand what we stand for than we ourselves. Yes, Euromaidan needs our support, but, oddly enough, we need them more, ”makes the original conclusion Kaylan.
It turns out, let's add from ourselves, without Ukraine, Europe and in general Western civilization will completely get lost. So why do we need the EU "euromaidan"! Mother Europe, immersed in the sins of democracy, decided to improve spiritually spiritually ...

State Department has no time
Viktor Yanukovych declared his readiness to hold early presidential and parliamentary elections, said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, commenting on the results of the talks between the foreign ministers of Poland, Germany and France with the Ukrainian president. Yanukovych also agreed to the establishment of a government of national unity and to change the constitution. Reports about it Interfax.
The words Tusk quoted by "Gazeta Wyborcza". The Polish Prime Minister added that it was proposed to hold elections during the current year, to form a transitional government within 10 days, and to adopt a new constitution until summer.
True, Tusk made a reservation: the European ministers at the meeting "it was difficult to understand whether indeed the obligations of Viktor Yanukovich could be taken seriously."
UDAR leader Vitali Klitschko, following talks with the foreign ministers of Germany, France and Poland, said that no agreements on resolving the crisis in Ukraine had yet been reached: “When we have a result, we will tell you about it <...> no results yet”.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry called on the Ukrainian president to negotiate with the opposition and said that visa sanctions against a number of Ukrainian citizens have already been enacted. Told about it correspondent RIA "Novosti" Alexey Bogdanovsky.
“There is no time for intrigue and games. President Yanukovych must immediately undertake serious negotiations with opposition leaders to create a transitional government with broad support, ”Kerry said in a statement. It goes on to state: “We unequivocally condemn the use of force against civilians by the security forces and call for them to be withdrawn immediately. <...> The people of Ukraine and the international community will hold those responsible for what happened, and the US has already begun to impose visa sanctions against Ukrainians responsible for the violence. "
To this must be added the following. American officials are in such a hurry to arrange the "Arab Spring" in Kiev, that they do not even have time to coordinate with each other "events". One scares sanctions, the second declares that he has already introduced them. The State Department does not even have time to phone the White House.
“There is no time for intrigue and games,” you say? Why, intrigue and games are what the United States has been doing with the past few decades with great enthusiasm.
Eh, Belovezhskaya Pushcha ... That shameful drunken agreement will go around long!
Another American point of view on the future of Ukraine was expressed by Ambassador Jeffrey Payette.
The President of Ukraine should not resign: the country needs him to carry out political transformations. Such an opinion is in Kiev, the US Ambassador to Ukraine Jeffrey Payette expressed in an interview with the American television channel CNN, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Ivan Pilshchikov.
When a journalist asked if, from the ambassador’s point of view, Yanukovych should leave, Payette answered: “No, our position is different. President Yanukovych must lead his country into the future. The path to this should lie for him through a new government, changes in the constitution, political structure. ”
It turns out that we add from ourselves that the ambassador entrusted Yanukovych with historical responsibility for the transition to the realization of the western scenario. Do not go, Mr. Yanukovych, and do as we want - that's the ill-veiled promise of the State Department.

The ruling media of the United States never got out of the Cold War era. The Fourth Power continues to denigrate the Russians and their Olympics in newspapers, magazines, the Internet. And it cannot be said that Americans have a special imagination. American propaganda is completely degraded. In the US, journalistic thinking itself, which is still based on the canons of the Cold War, has degraded. The biased hacks seemed not to read the speeches of Ambassador McFaul about the "reset". While McFaul was outraged by “anti-Americanism,” journalists continued to do everything to ensure that this anti-Americanism completely devoured McFaul. Do you know what we are dealing with? With another failure of Obama. Double standards devoured itself.
The other day Canadian speed skater Brittany Schussler published a snapshot on Twitter: she and Putin. By the standards of Western inhabitants, this is a wild horror: Schussler not only took pictures with the "tyrant" and the repressor of homosexuals, but even among others she asked for such a picture of the Russian president! .. Brittany was immediately branded by western inhabitants. Compatriots felt that Schussler supported "a tyrant who persecutes LGBT people." Harassment has reached such proportions that the athlete had to remove a photo from Twitter. She had to make excuses: she wrote that she was misunderstood (this is now an ordinary excuse, even Obama does not hesitate to use it).
Interestingly, there were those who supported the frightened girl. One user called the critics of the athletes not somehow, but “intolerant fools”, which is quite remarkable. By such, he means those who are "obsessed with one topic and confident in their own rightness." He gives them advice "to return under the stone from which they got out."
And indeed, homosexuals, if you look, are completely deprived of tolerance (tolerance) towards, say, other people. That is, those who scream the most about tolerance are hardly any different. You are taking photos with Putin - a supporter of the tyrant. Rejoice at the reception in Sochi - the enemy of the blue. And in general, the Russian influence is pernicious. Here we are, LGBT, are good. Criticism in a similar spirit is no longer a degradation of the personality, it is nothing but its complete disintegration. Schizophrenia. Everything is interpreted in an extremely narrow sense and is subject only to him, this narrow sense. It is clear that there is no tolerance even close. On the contrary, there is complete intolerance for everything.
Another comrade advised Brittany not to apologize and added that even though some people think that “the world should only revolve around the gay community,” it is not.
But the voice of brawlers has always been stronger than the voice of reason. Schussler is not the only victim from Canada.
As the media writes, Gladys Stojko, the wife of a Canadian figure skater, also deleted the photos from the meeting with Putin. Countrymen and countrymen with their comments so frightened her that she deleted the account at the same time.
Recently, an initiative comrades from Moscow was created site "Rumors of Sochi"where the fake news about the Sochi Olympics are classified and numbered.
In the US, they write about rusty water from Sochi cranes, referring to a photo on Twitter. In fact, the picture was used in 2012 to illustrate the news about the low quality of drinking water in Ukraine.
The “news” about the massacre of stray dogs in Sochi is also savored. There is an illustration - but it is also taken from the past, and also Ukrainian. In 2012, she illustrated an article about the burial of dogs near Donetsk.
But the toilet is supposedly in Sochi: “Sochi is a territory of friendly people. Here you can sit in the company of friends with a glass of beer right on the toilet. "Please pass me toilet paper."
Rows of toilet bowls stand along the walls. Sit down, do not get bored. The main thing is to not remove the states. Or a skirt.
The site denies: “In fact, this photo was taken in Russia, but in a different place. This is a toilet at the University of Kazan, and the photo was taken by Max Lomakin for the BBC.
They write in the West that Putin stole all the money for the infrastructure support of the Olympics, and then handed them over to the police so that you could make the unfortunate gays happy. There was absolutely no money left to build, so the gloomy Soviet reality surrounds the athletes and guests: collapsed houses, scattered roads, homeless people. Well, but there is an inscription: “Welcome to Sochi!” Refutation: the photo was taken by Kai Pfaffenbach (“Reuters”) in Sochi, but February 19 is 2013 of the year.
The money that the door handles were inserted into was also stolen by Putin. Or his officials, what the difference. American journalist Barry Pettsky tried to open a hotel room, but the door handle remained in his hand. Quote from the site: “Barry himself two days later wrote that this photo was not taken in Sochi. In addition, Barry said a wonderful phrase: "The best part of every Olympiad is about ... the organizers."
More fakie: in Sochi, paint the grass from the spray guns; the person responsible for the undisclosed Olympic ring is killed; hacker attacks on fans' computers are conducted, but not simple attacks, but gay ones; in Sochi, it is forbidden to throw used toilet paper into toilet bowls and it is recommended to eat it, etc.
In principle, much of this should be classified as a satirical news (something really applies to them) and just laugh well. However, reprints from Twitter or The Daily Currant (an exceptionally satirical newspaper) by mainstream publications like The Washington Post are no longer funny.
And that's what said on the eve of the Olympics, American President Barack Obama: "If Russia does not have gays or lesbians among its athletes, this only makes its team weaker." And this is not a fake. And it is not surprising that after these words the journalists got into Obama’s dirty laundry. Everything was done according to the saying: “For what they fought, they ran into it”. Now the world community considers Barak Hussein to be a rascal and the first blue president of the United States. Already It revealedthat several years ago, the future president often visited not only gay nightclubs, but even special saunas.
Well, is not it a degradation?

Learning is light and ignorance is darkness
The results of a survey by the National Science Foundation of the United States showed that one out of four Americans had not heard anything about the structure of the solar system and thought that the sun revolves around the earth. This is reported by the channel "RT".
The newspaper "Daily Mail" writes that more than 2,2 thousand Americans took part in the study. The survey provided answers to nine basic questions in physics and in biology. Only 74% of respondents indicated that the Earth revolves around the sun, and not vice versa.
Less than half of the respondents (48%) knew that humans were descended from earlier mammalian species. Total 39% on the question of the origin of the universe answered that it began with the Big Bang.
The results of the survey will be included in the report of the foundation, which will be presented to congressmen and Barack Obama.
Sorry, we add, this poll was not conducted in the Congress and the White House. It would be very curious to get a percentage from there.

Putin and Obama: find three differences
The presidents of the United States and Russia have many similarities. So says Michael McFaul, passes BaltInfo with reference to "RBC".
McFaul noted: “Both have an analytical mind. They both think a lot about their country, about their place in the world, and they are both straightforward. ”
The ambassador added that Obama does not like "empty talk, after which everyone is trying to understand what is behind them." “The President of the United States does not speak in the same way as President Putin. I think this is a very useful approach, even if there is disagreement, ”McFaul said.
Something, we will add from ourselves, presidents and differ. For example, Vladimir Vladimirovich, unlike Barak Hussein, does not sympathize with the "blue". The parliament is not hostile to Putin — as much as Congress is opposed to Obama. Putin has a rather high rating among the population of Russia, which cannot be said about Obama, who is considered to be almost the worst US president in all of American history. Finally, Putin is very lucky in foreign policy, which develops in favor of Russia as if on purpose: the rise in oil prices, the global crisis that hit the West, the whistleblower Snowden in Sheremetyevo, the desire of Washington to curtail “the game” in Syria or abandon the bombing of Iran. Even the fight for homosexual rights, led by Obama, left the head of the White House sideways. Putin, on the contrary, is now considered the defender of traditional family and social values throughout the world.
And thanks to Snowden, the United States is now compared to the totalitarian state from the novel by J. Orwell. The main movers of totalitarian ideas declared the Ministry of Homeland Security and the NSA. Russia, on the contrary, becomes a fighter for rights and freedoms. Russia represented by Putin, of course.
There is so much difference between the presidents that a logical question arises: where is the similarity? Question the color of the skin, mind you, we are not affected.
Well, five kopecks about the empty talk mentioned by McFaul. What, if not idle talk, are Obama's statements about American exclusivity? After all, this topic has caused widespread negative feedback throughout the world. Few, except for the Americans themselves, consider Americans exceptional. This was confirmed by the publication in the New York Times of a famous article, signed by V. Putin and received a lot of enthusiastic reviews, including Western readers.
To recap: President Obama is just a gift for Russia. For every American failure, the Russian president responds with new success. No wonder American conspiracy theorists have long called Barak Hussein a Kremlin agent recruited personally by Putin ...

* “You can legally walk. It is difficult to walk "- a phrase from the movie" Garage "
On Friday, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine considered the issue of returning to the 2004 constitution of the year, limiting the rights of the president in favor of parliament, as well as the issue of creating a so-called technical government - the “transitional government”.
By Friday evening, the voting was completed, and the draft on the return of the 2004 constitution of the year was adopted. 386 parliamentarians expressed their “yes”. This is more on 86 than was necessary to make the appropriate provision. The fact that the Rada will vote "for", in principle, it became clear immediately after Viktor Yanukovych himself said that he was not against the return of the constitution 10-year-old. At the same time, the president “flint” also agreed to the early election of the head of state ... Well, Viktor Fedorovich, well, a lump ...
In general, for all the concessions that one could imagine, Yanukovych went. It would seem that the radicals after that should dismantle the barricades and go home, again burying berdanki in Bandera caches (until the next Maidan), but the barricades are not only not dismantled, but even reinforced with brickwork and concrete blocks. What does this say? The fact that extremists have long been a rage - no political decisions can affect the course of events. And if they are not capable of influencing political decisions, then ... But what are we talking about? - Viktor Fedorovich - this is a well-known humanist ... And what if the president of Ukraine is aiming for the Nobel Peace Prize to stand in one row, for example, with Mikhail Gorbachev? ..

Ukraine needs "peace and law"
At the congress of deputies of local councils of the south-east of Ukraine, which was held at the Palace of Sports in Kharkov, 3477 people's deputies from the eastern part of the country arrived. According to Mikhail Dobkin, chairman of the Kharkiv Regional Administration, they gathered to "save the country."
The congress participants spoke in favor of the peace and unity of the country. Mikhail Dobkin stressed that Ukraine needs "peace and law" and promised "not to allow fascism." The head of Kharkiv, Gennady Kernes, stated that the congress is an attempt by "adequate politicians from the east of the country to stabilize the situation." He admitted that he and his colleagues were threatened, but noted that they "will not retreat" and "will stand to the end."
Verkhovna Rada deputy from the Party of Regions Vadim Kolesnichenko called the events in Ukraine a coup d'etat and stressed that each region must "develop in proportion to their contribution to the economy."
Oleg Tsarev, deputy head of the Party of Regions faction of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, noted that an armed seizure of power had taken place in the country. He urged the participants of the congress to do everything possible so that this did not happen in those regions where a stable situation still exists, in particular, in Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov and Crimea. According to Tsarev, there are no guarantees that 20 thousands of armed people from Kiev will not be in the south-east of the country. He stressed that the main task is "not to allow chaos."
Russia was represented at the congress by the head of the Duma committee on international affairs, Alexei Pushkov, the governors of the Voronezh, Belgorod, Rostov and Bryansk regions. Their performances were greeted with applause, ITAR-TASS.

Now the question arises: what was concrete in order to prevent the Nazis from reaching the south-east? They suggested it at the congress. I would like specific facts, not empty slogans and statements. What is the position of Russia, since our representatives were there.

1. Maydanutye and trinity can gnaw through. I think the probability of this is very high.
2. Now I look - Yanukovych pushes speech on Kharkov TV. With a live president, their hands are tied, more than one decision will not be happy before its signing by its president. He says that the coup, I am the president, I will not retire. In the end, he is the Supreme Commander. At least something sensible undertaken.
3. After a couple of weeks, the chaos in Kiev will reach the absolute. Then it will finally become clear who steers in the Rada.

It is possible that Yanukovych specifically behaves the same way as Gorbachev during the active phase of the collapse of the USSR, perhaps his task is to destroy Ukraine with the aim of returning most of it to the “father's house” (reunification with Russia). Here, many say that the bucha in Ukraine is the work of the United States, but it is possible that Yanukovych and ours agreed in advance to launch events in Ukraine according to such a scenario, that there would be a sufficient reason for the reunification of the Russian people. If so, then of course they are great, I take off my hat, and of course they are ready for events, unlike the United States and the EU, which, to put it mildly, is a “bone in the throat”. In this case, the absurdity of the actions of Yanukovich, in fact, the proclaiming (encouraging) radicals, and the enormous spending on the "northern" and "southern" streams and the recent US statement that Yanukovych should stay and bring order, are understandable.

We do not need the collapse of Ukraine! Do not invent fiction ....... Friendly Ukraine is our sister, Ukrainians are brothers! Under the condition of creating a union of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine (not necessarily within the framework of a single country), we are not afraid of euro-gay or mattress with hamburgers, And everyone will have gas, and we will rest in the Crimea in Ukrainian as at home, and Belarusian Bulba and milk we will eat ........... The collapse of Ukraine is the last resort to which Russia can go, I think the Ukrainians will find the strength to cope with a cancer!

Sochi says goodbye to the Olympics
Winter Olympics 2014 ends. The Olympics, which makes us think about the development of sports, about the impact on the results of not only the direct talent of athletes, but also numerous technologies. Little things, nuances, tricks - today they also make their own quite significant contribution to the victory of one or another team, this or that athlete. As it is hardly possible in our time, the Olympics without politics and outside politics, so it is hardly possible to Olympics without technological struggle, which directly fits with the development of science.
At the time of the preparation of the material, the Russian team occupied the first team place in the total and in the number of awards won and in the number of gold medals. This sports triumph, which is a huge step forward after the failure of the Russian team in Vancouver, where our athletes managed to get only three "gold" for the whole team. True, and below Vancouver-2010, it seems, is simply nowhere ...
Aerobatics of Russian figure skating, bobsleigh, short track, skeleton. Even the Russian biathlon, which many fans simply gave up after a series of setbacks and scandals, “shot” in the men's relay. Yesterday, many Russian fans could, with the word “Russian gold on short track,” have a smile. Today it is an objective reality. One Victor An has made a miracle of three gold medals in Sochi! Koreans clearly bite their elbows. Yes, and the Americans have something to bite, because their former Victor Wilde also stands for the Russian national team and brings Russia gold awards. Someone will say that this is "someone else's gold." But let me ... Not all the Russians alone stand up for foreign teams (for example, biathlon Kuzmina).
Is there any reason to be upset? And he too is. Not exactly pleased (and to put it mildly) hockey players. More waited from the skaters. And frankly it is a pity for those boys from the orphanage to whom one businessman (we will not call his name) presented several tickets for the hockey Olympic final, where everyone hoped to see the Russians and our common victory. Not grown together ... Getting ready to look at others. Sorry, sorry, three times sorry, but what happened has happened, and you can tear your hair out, blame athletes and coaches for all deadly sins, but still you shouldn’t forget the main thing - it’s a sport, and it wins in sport (at least must win) the strongest. It is hardly worth it because of this, sprinkle ashes on your head ... Already pretty much spilled ... And why sprinkle, if our winter roads are one of the best athletes in the world. This shows the results of the Olympics.
A significant step forward in the development of domestic sports has been made. There are more cases, conclusions and decisions ahead. Was the Olympic holiday a success? Undoubtedly!
And as a small nuance: they wanted to make their contribution to the Olympiad and “Pussy” - they made ... The episode with the “walk” of the Cossack whip on girls, who, apparently, still misunderstood something in the colony, is an excellent touch to the Olympic program. Of course, we are not bloodthirsty at all, but let them not spoil a beautiful sports festival with their appearance ...

Iraq wants to go faster
Russian-made deliveries of military products to Iraq are on schedule, but Iraqis would like to speed up the process. This was stated by the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov. One of the reasons that is pushing the Iraqis to ask Russia to accelerate the pace of arms supplies is an acute and unresolved problem of terrorist activity in Iraq’s “democratised” territory.
It, of course, Russia may well accelerate and deliver to Iraq all those weapons that we are talking about in the contract, immediately "in a crowd", but only, as Comrade Saakhov said: "You don’t need to hurry (well, or this: the torpiss") ". The memories of the Russian writing off of Iraq after NATO’s “democratization” of its debt in almost 13 billion dollars are still fresh in memory. Write off the debt of a country that in terms of hydrocarbon reserves is one of the leading places in the Middle East! As the saying goes: he forgives everyone whom Iraq owes ... Or only to Russia? ..
Obviously, Iraq understands perfectly well that it’s not at all necessary to pay for Russia's weapons now ... They say that there are still more such "democracies" ahead - they must be taken while they give, and the more, the better. And in this regard, the question arises: did they manage to take the prepayment from the Iraqis, or did they decide to wait again - they say, “later” they will pay ...

Mediterranean Centurion
In the ranks of sea pilots of the North fleet another centurion appeared. This is the name of the person who made one hundred landings on the deck of an aircraft carrier (aircraft carrier cruiser). There were four such aces in Russia. Lieutenant Colonel Igor Tsukur became the fifth. The "extreme" hundred landings on an aircraft carrier were exchanged in quite combat conditions - Russian pilots are engaged in air patrolling off the coast of Syria.
One of those news, which not only inspires optimism, but also gives reason to be proud of the Russian fleet, Russian military pilots. Out of the dullness and despondency of catastrophic timelessness, when sailors (and sea pilots, of course, too) could only dream of warships embarking on a long voyage, Russia proceeded to restore its combat power. Of course, there is still a lot of work ahead, but the beginning of such work has been laid, and, as you can see, it has been laid productively and efficiently. The experience with which the domestic fleet and sea aviation, certainly will not be superfluous. It will not be superfluous especially due to the fact that the “friends” of Russia are sleeping and seeing how to tear the country apart, having realized their own strategic tasks, they are sleeping and seeing how to bring things to the Maidan already at Manezhka or at the Palace ...

All of them are students and followers of Hero of Russia, Major-General Apakidze Timur Avtandilovich, the commander of 56 SCAD, and subsequently the deputy commander of naval aviation, who died tragically during a flight on SU-27. Thanks to him, after the collapse of the USSR, carrier-based naval aviation was preserved and still exists!

Where is the Russian-Chukhon border?
In the week, the foreign ministers of Russia and Estonia - Sergey Lavrov and Urmas Paet - put their signatures on the border treaty. At the same time, many news agencies presented this event as a truly breakthrough: they say that the parliamentarians quickly ratify the agreement both in Moscow and in Tallinn, and therefore now there can be no territorial claims from the two states to each other. Of course, signing a border treaty between neighbors is a necessary and correct thing. However, with the euphoria about this and the words about the absence of territorial claims should be postponed.
So that the Estonian parliamentarians once again do not “supplement” the contract with their own points (“one person”), as was already the case in 2005, the Russian parliamentary delegation even went to Tallinn. How popular will our parliamentarians be to explain to their Estonian colleagues that the document signed by Lavrov and Paet should be ratified, and not what the most zealous Estonian lawmaker will write in this document with a pencil ... interesting question ...
By the way, in Estonia itself, the estimates of the signed agreement are ambiguous. Nationalist organizations demand stiffness from the authorities: they say, we must again demand that Russia recognize Estonia, for example, Pechora, Ivangorod and Izborsk (as in the Tartu Peace Treaty of 1920, which in Estonia is not inferior to the Bible in Estonia ...)
And, for example, Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip, said that the new treaty will only increase the security of Estonia ... Sorry for the incorrect question: what will increase? ..

I propose to replace the name of Estonia with the historical one - Chukhonia, on the border to erect a monument to the Soviet people tortured by the Estonian Nazi Democrats. And that the monument was large and prominent for the Chukhon side.

I respect Lavrov, but what the hell is a border treaty with an illegal state entity? I want to remind you that Peter I not only won, but also bought from the Swedes the land of Livonia, Estland and Ingermanland. He gave one heap of thalers and another heap of efimkov for these lands. Total - two heaps of gold.
Therefore, Estonia is the legal land of Russia. And considering that Kolyvan, Yuriev and other cities on this land are founded by Russians, it turns out that Estonia is also an EXCELLENT RUSSIAN EARTH, temporarily occupied by one of the barbarian swamp tribes.
Proceeding from humane considerations, the Russians allowed the Estonians to live on their rightful land. But they were wrong: the cunning invaders decided to assign OUR EARTH. This can not be allowed.
We must demand: Estonians - out of the original territory of Russia.
(As a last resort, you can think about leaving this land to them. But only if they return the money paid by Peter I with the corresponding percentages during the use of our legal land).

55 poles
Some kind of insurmountable struggle to fight with monuments (or even with places where monuments stood at the time) is observed in certain political and social circles of the Baltic republics. In Estonia (and not only in it), the Estonian economy did not have enough time to take into account the losses it had suffered from hackers because of the transfer of the Bronze Soldier (Monument to Tallinn’s Liberators from Nazism) from the center of the Estonian capital to the memorial cemetery. attacks on bank sites by opponents of the actual reference of the memorial in 2007, as in this “small but proud country”, they again decided to play with their “national identity” and arrange another provocation.
In Estonia, with the support of the authorities on the site of a memorial to fallen Soviet soldiers in battles for the liberation of the republic from Nazism (on the site of the Bronze Soldier), they are now going to open a memorial to the victims of communism and the victims of Soviet occupation. 55 columns with the names of "tortured".
Apparently, these 55 pillars will have to convince the entire million of the remaining, and not left for work to Britain or Sweden, Estonians that the Soviet occupation of Estonia was “the same”. But then, you know, people can’t figure out in any way: why they didn’t notice this occupation, and who, in fact, its victim ... Maybe they “occupied” at night, while the Estonians slept peacefully, and in the morning, the “occupants” covered their tracks, building factories , hospitals, schools, theaters and libraries ...

Letters from oligarchs
From awareness of a possible civil war, gentlemen, the Ukrainian oligarchs began to shake.
February 19 "Ukrainian Truth" led by Dmitry Firtash, who spoke in support of a peaceful resolution of the conflict. The text of the appeal of Firtash addressed to the leadership of the country was distributed by the Federation of Employers headed by a businessman.
“Ukraine has come close to civil war in the last 24 hours,” Firtash believes. “The Federation of Employers and I personally support exclusively a peaceful solution to the political crisis. The use of force by any of the parties is unacceptable, ”he noted. And here is the main message: “Ukraine is a young, but strong and united state. Ukrainian business opposes any actions that may lead to the division of Ukraine. We are for a strong country, for its economic and social development, for the growth of citizens' welfare. All this is possible only in peacetime. ”
Similar statements, which also traced anxiety for "increased welfare," were made by other oligarchs.
Rinat Akhmetov convincedthat "there are no such circumstances that justify the use of force against the civilian population." This is stated in a popular statement by the press secretary Akhmetov.
Akhmetov also calls for “stopping the bloodshed on the streets of Kiev, for all opposing forces to urgently return to the negotiation process and not for a minute stop working until a solution is found for Ukraine’s withdrawal from a deep political crisis.”
Expressed through the press service and businessman Victor Pinchuk. His words are given by Tatyana Fedorkova ("Mediaport").
Resolution of the conflict between the government and the protesters should be achieved by peaceful means, the statement says. “A peaceful solution must be found, it is necessary to refrain from the use of force, and to find a compromise,” said Pinchuk.
According to the businessman, it is time for a compromise. “For each of us,” noted Pinchuk, “love for Ukraine should be much more important than any other feelings and interests.”
It seems, however, that if some “feelings and interests” are driven by oligarchs, then this is “love” for money, which, when the country goes beyond the “threshold” of the civil war, will remain in their pockets and accounts are far from fully. It is important for the oligarch to keep their capital under any authority. And statements about the world are a neutral position that suits both ours and yours. That is why the treatment is surprisingly similar, as if one speechwriter wrote them.
Anyone who loves his country, does not declare publicly about love. This man, like the Kharkov mayor of Kernes, says that his city lives and works, and nothing will remain of the possible local “Maidan” “for one hour”.
That's it.

"While I am writing this, there is a great battle on Euromaidan not only for Ukraine, but also for the future of Europe and, in many respects, for the future of the world, which may sound too much at Churchillian at first glance, but just think: democratic protests that shook the world from Thailand to Turkey, Ukrainian ones occur closest to the West, ”says journalist Melik Kaylan in an article published by Forbes (a source in the translation "Inopressa").
“We can easily drown in a long list of our own problems,” says the author of the article. “In the end, the EU will not even pay Ukrainian energy bills or budget deficits. Russia will do it with readiness, ”he notes. We also know, the author argues, that autocrats often seek quick improvements in chaos, while democratic leaders are paralyzed by official procedures (compare China and India).
What should the West do? “Let's select the sharpest propaganda tools that we handed to autocrats,” advises the journalist.
In some regions of Ukraine supporting Yanukovych, posters with inscriptions have spread: “The EU means legalization of same-sex marriages”. “One thing is to demand respect for basic human rights, and another is to demand a sexual revolution,” the author believes.
“Another problem: globalization of finance ... We cannot demand that international banks and groups of companies, like Russian oligarchs, own the natural resources of others,” says Kaylan.
“We must put an end to our own nascent fragmentation and erosion of national-state identity. No other countries will subscribe for the loss of their statehood and traditions, ”the article says.
“Those who want to join us, even in our present state, may better understand what we stand for than we ourselves. Yes, Euromaidan needs our support, but, oddly enough, we need them more, ”makes the original conclusion Kaylan.
It turns out, let's add from ourselves, without Ukraine, Europe and in general Western civilization will completely get lost. So why do we need the EU "euromaidan"! Mother Europe, immersed in the sins of democracy, decided to improve spiritually spiritually ...

State Department has no time
Viktor Yanukovych declared his readiness to hold early presidential and parliamentary elections, said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, commenting on the results of the talks between the foreign ministers of Poland, Germany and France with the Ukrainian president. Yanukovych also agreed to the establishment of a government of national unity and to change the constitution. Reports about it Interfax.
The words Tusk quoted by "Gazeta Wyborcza". The Polish Prime Minister added that it was proposed to hold elections during the current year, to form a transitional government within 10 days, and to adopt a new constitution until summer.
True, Tusk made a reservation: the European ministers at the meeting "it was difficult to understand whether indeed the obligations of Viktor Yanukovich could be taken seriously."
UDAR leader Vitali Klitschko, following talks with the foreign ministers of Germany, France and Poland, said that no agreements on resolving the crisis in Ukraine had yet been reached: “When we have a result, we will tell you about it <...> no results yet”.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry called on the Ukrainian president to negotiate with the opposition and said that visa sanctions against a number of Ukrainian citizens have already been enacted. Told about it correspondent RIA "Novosti" Alexey Bogdanovsky.
“There is no time for intrigue and games. President Yanukovych must immediately undertake serious negotiations with opposition leaders to create a transitional government with broad support, ”Kerry said in a statement. It goes on to state: “We unequivocally condemn the use of force against civilians by the security forces and call for them to be withdrawn immediately. <...> The people of Ukraine and the international community will hold those responsible for what happened, and the US has already begun to impose visa sanctions against Ukrainians responsible for the violence. "
To this must be added the following. American officials are in such a hurry to arrange the "Arab Spring" in Kiev, that they do not even have time to coordinate with each other "events". One scares sanctions, the second declares that he has already introduced them. The State Department does not even have time to phone the White House.
“There is no time for intrigue and games,” you say? Why, intrigue and games are what the United States has been doing with the past few decades with great enthusiasm.
Eh, Belovezhskaya Pushcha ... That shameful drunken agreement will go around long!
Another American point of view on the future of Ukraine was expressed by Ambassador Jeffrey Payette.
The President of Ukraine should not resign: the country needs him to carry out political transformations. Such an opinion is in Kiev, the US Ambassador to Ukraine Jeffrey Payette expressed in an interview with the American television channel CNN, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Ivan Pilshchikov.
When a journalist asked if, from the ambassador’s point of view, Yanukovych should leave, Payette answered: “No, our position is different. President Yanukovych must lead his country into the future. The path to this should lie for him through a new government, changes in the constitution, political structure. ”
It turns out that we add from ourselves that the ambassador entrusted Yanukovych with historical responsibility for the transition to the realization of the western scenario. Do not go, Mr. Yanukovych, and do as we want - that's the ill-veiled promise of the State Department.

Edible paper
The ruling media of the United States never got out of the Cold War era. The Fourth Power continues to denigrate the Russians and their Olympics in newspapers, magazines, the Internet. And it cannot be said that Americans have a special imagination. American propaganda is completely degraded. In the US, journalistic thinking itself, which is still based on the canons of the Cold War, has degraded. The biased hacks seemed not to read the speeches of Ambassador McFaul about the "reset". While McFaul was outraged by “anti-Americanism,” journalists continued to do everything to ensure that this anti-Americanism completely devoured McFaul. Do you know what we are dealing with? With another failure of Obama. Double standards devoured itself.
The other day Canadian speed skater Brittany Schussler published a snapshot on Twitter: she and Putin. By the standards of Western inhabitants, this is a wild horror: Schussler not only took pictures with the "tyrant" and the repressor of homosexuals, but even among others she asked for such a picture of the Russian president! .. Brittany was immediately branded by western inhabitants. Compatriots felt that Schussler supported "a tyrant who persecutes LGBT people." Harassment has reached such proportions that the athlete had to remove a photo from Twitter. She had to make excuses: she wrote that she was misunderstood (this is now an ordinary excuse, even Obama does not hesitate to use it).
Interestingly, there were those who supported the frightened girl. One user called the critics of the athletes not somehow, but “intolerant fools”, which is quite remarkable. By such, he means those who are "obsessed with one topic and confident in their own rightness." He gives them advice "to return under the stone from which they got out."
And indeed, homosexuals, if you look, are completely deprived of tolerance (tolerance) towards, say, other people. That is, those who scream the most about tolerance are hardly any different. You are taking photos with Putin - a supporter of the tyrant. Rejoice at the reception in Sochi - the enemy of the blue. And in general, the Russian influence is pernicious. Here we are, LGBT, are good. Criticism in a similar spirit is no longer a degradation of the personality, it is nothing but its complete disintegration. Schizophrenia. Everything is interpreted in an extremely narrow sense and is subject only to him, this narrow sense. It is clear that there is no tolerance even close. On the contrary, there is complete intolerance for everything.
Another comrade advised Brittany not to apologize and added that even though some people think that “the world should only revolve around the gay community,” it is not.
But the voice of brawlers has always been stronger than the voice of reason. Schussler is not the only victim from Canada.
As the media writes, Gladys Stojko, the wife of a Canadian figure skater, also deleted the photos from the meeting with Putin. Countrymen and countrymen with their comments so frightened her that she deleted the account at the same time.
Recently, an initiative comrades from Moscow was created site "Rumors of Sochi"where the fake news about the Sochi Olympics are classified and numbered.
In the US, they write about rusty water from Sochi cranes, referring to a photo on Twitter. In fact, the picture was used in 2012 to illustrate the news about the low quality of drinking water in Ukraine.
The “news” about the massacre of stray dogs in Sochi is also savored. There is an illustration - but it is also taken from the past, and also Ukrainian. In 2012, she illustrated an article about the burial of dogs near Donetsk.
But the toilet is supposedly in Sochi: “Sochi is a territory of friendly people. Here you can sit in the company of friends with a glass of beer right on the toilet. "Please pass me toilet paper."
Rows of toilet bowls stand along the walls. Sit down, do not get bored. The main thing is to not remove the states. Or a skirt.
The site denies: “In fact, this photo was taken in Russia, but in a different place. This is a toilet at the University of Kazan, and the photo was taken by Max Lomakin for the BBC.
They write in the West that Putin stole all the money for the infrastructure support of the Olympics, and then handed them over to the police so that you could make the unfortunate gays happy. There was absolutely no money left to build, so the gloomy Soviet reality surrounds the athletes and guests: collapsed houses, scattered roads, homeless people. Well, but there is an inscription: “Welcome to Sochi!” Refutation: the photo was taken by Kai Pfaffenbach (“Reuters”) in Sochi, but February 19 is 2013 of the year.
The money that the door handles were inserted into was also stolen by Putin. Or his officials, what the difference. American journalist Barry Pettsky tried to open a hotel room, but the door handle remained in his hand. Quote from the site: “Barry himself two days later wrote that this photo was not taken in Sochi. In addition, Barry said a wonderful phrase: "The best part of every Olympiad is about ... the organizers."
More fakie: in Sochi, paint the grass from the spray guns; the person responsible for the undisclosed Olympic ring is killed; hacker attacks on fans' computers are conducted, but not simple attacks, but gay ones; in Sochi, it is forbidden to throw used toilet paper into toilet bowls and it is recommended to eat it, etc.
In principle, much of this should be classified as a satirical news (something really applies to them) and just laugh well. However, reprints from Twitter or The Daily Currant (an exceptionally satirical newspaper) by mainstream publications like The Washington Post are no longer funny.
And that's what said on the eve of the Olympics, American President Barack Obama: "If Russia does not have gays or lesbians among its athletes, this only makes its team weaker." And this is not a fake. And it is not surprising that after these words the journalists got into Obama’s dirty laundry. Everything was done according to the saying: “For what they fought, they ran into it”. Now the world community considers Barak Hussein to be a rascal and the first blue president of the United States. Already It revealedthat several years ago, the future president often visited not only gay nightclubs, but even special saunas.
Well, is not it a degradation?

For days on end, I get angry with them, and the hunt is to shout at them directly, but it is already useless ... you are only aggravating everything. They are really like children in their minds, these cheap maneuvers are moving into adulthood from school, when school basketball teams draw caricatures on each other and dance performances.

All this slander is exclusively for “internal use” in the USA itself and in some places in the West (like the UK or Belgium), where ordinary citizens do not know anything about Russia and the Russians.
In Bulgaria, the West also organized a nehil smear campaign, but the mood was different - corruption and bribery, the Russians plundered everything. Well, totalitarianism, authoritarianism, the infringement of human rights. In the comments, Bulgarians snapped that homosexuals were not people, but corruption in the West was even greater.
Once we wrote that a group of journalists came to a hotel in Sochi, where they booked rooms a year and a half ago. And the hotel, due to authoritarianism, corruption, theft and bribery, was unfinished. And then it started: four people settled in a room for two, rusty water from taps, something about toilets ...
The Bulgarians know Russia and the Russians well, many maintain direct ties, and therefore it was only a single unfinished hotel, not Sochi, and even more so - about Russia as a whole. But the slanderers were so laughed at and filled up with angry comments that there was no second attempt.
And within the United States itself passed, the people shaval and asked for more.

It is terribly unpleasant to read news from free Western media ... Arrogant lie, and nothing more. Now I am on a business trip in Rosa Khutor (but I was also in the Olympic Park). Everything is organized very well. The scale is amazing! A lot of work has been done! For me, this is the first Olympiad, but athletes participating in other games note high organization and comfort, including at sports facilities ... They say that this was not the case in Vancouver! If earlier I allowed some skepticism about the Sochi Olympics, now I have no doubt: everything is organized at the highest level! The scale of both sports and infrastructure facilities is staggering! Beautiful, clean, comfortable :) I, as a patriot of my country, am proud of this Olympiad! And I spat on what they write Western marazmatik.

Author hammer, excellent article. The West has always yelled as soon as something was good with us. Let the pink president and his flower community take their mouths and hands. And we, guys, OLYMPIAD. And not only here, but around the world. Apparently, except for America. We cheer for ours, laugh at America.
Learning is light and ignorance is darkness
The results of a survey by the National Science Foundation of the United States showed that one out of four Americans had not heard anything about the structure of the solar system and thought that the sun revolves around the earth. This is reported by the channel "RT".
The newspaper "Daily Mail" writes that more than 2,2 thousand Americans took part in the study. The survey provided answers to nine basic questions in physics and in biology. Only 74% of respondents indicated that the Earth revolves around the sun, and not vice versa.
Less than half of the respondents (48%) knew that humans were descended from earlier mammalian species. Total 39% on the question of the origin of the universe answered that it began with the Big Bang.
The results of the survey will be included in the report of the foundation, which will be presented to congressmen and Barack Obama.
Sorry, we add, this poll was not conducted in the Congress and the White House. It would be very curious to get a percentage from there.

Well, right, why slaves knowledge? They need to trap. If this survey is conducted among the elite, then I am sure that the results will be very different. However, it would all be funny if we (that Latvia, that Russia) did not go the same way.

We also seem to approach this. Recently interviewed one "miss something", she also does not know what's going on around.

Hmmm, at that pace, again over 100, again, supporters of the Earth’s rotation around the Sun will go to the fire!
Although, according to the Hubble telescope, the sun revolves around America.
And the Russians are again illegally basking under the rays of the American sun!

Putin and Obama: find three differences
The presidents of the United States and Russia have many similarities. So says Michael McFaul, passes BaltInfo with reference to "RBC".
McFaul noted: “Both have an analytical mind. They both think a lot about their country, about their place in the world, and they are both straightforward. ”
The ambassador added that Obama does not like "empty talk, after which everyone is trying to understand what is behind them." “The President of the United States does not speak in the same way as President Putin. I think this is a very useful approach, even if there is disagreement, ”McFaul said.
Something, we will add from ourselves, presidents and differ. For example, Vladimir Vladimirovich, unlike Barak Hussein, does not sympathize with the "blue". The parliament is not hostile to Putin — as much as Congress is opposed to Obama. Putin has a rather high rating among the population of Russia, which cannot be said about Obama, who is considered to be almost the worst US president in all of American history. Finally, Putin is very lucky in foreign policy, which develops in favor of Russia as if on purpose: the rise in oil prices, the global crisis that hit the West, the whistleblower Snowden in Sheremetyevo, the desire of Washington to curtail “the game” in Syria or abandon the bombing of Iran. Even the fight for homosexual rights, led by Obama, left the head of the White House sideways. Putin, on the contrary, is now considered the defender of traditional family and social values throughout the world.
And thanks to Snowden, the United States is now compared to the totalitarian state from the novel by J. Orwell. The main movers of totalitarian ideas declared the Ministry of Homeland Security and the NSA. Russia, on the contrary, becomes a fighter for rights and freedoms. Russia represented by Putin, of course.
There is so much difference between the presidents that a logical question arises: where is the similarity? Question the color of the skin, mind you, we are not affected.
Well, five kopecks about the empty talk mentioned by McFaul. What, if not idle talk, are Obama's statements about American exclusivity? After all, this topic has caused widespread negative feedback throughout the world. Few, except for the Americans themselves, consider Americans exceptional. This was confirmed by the publication in the New York Times of a famous article, signed by V. Putin and received a lot of enthusiastic reviews, including Western readers.
To recap: President Obama is just a gift for Russia. For every American failure, the Russian president responds with new success. No wonder American conspiracy theorists have long called Barak Hussein a Kremlin agent recruited personally by Putin ...

Obama took over the wrinkling of eyebrows from Putin, only Putin wrinkles and moves his brows naturally, and Obama copies like a monkey, which makes him look ridiculous and even stupid))

Obama is like McFaul, but with Putin there is no resemblance to anything.

Do not sing the praises of our president, he just performs his duties on the external front. He does this with dignity, but inside the country he is surrounded by faces from the film “Biochemistry of Betrayal” and he is unable to cope with them;

“It’s not for nothing that American conspiracy theorists have long called Barak Hussein a Kremlin agent personally recruited by Putin ...”
I hope the recruitment did not take place in a gay club or sauna.
