Windows to Russia

A couple of years ago I talked about this and I thought that this would be a great idea. On election ballots the people in Russia have a chance to vote, “Against All!”

Other words, if you think that all candidates suck, then you can vote that they suck, by telling everyone, “I am against All of them!”

I understand that this was part of the older system to vote and now the Duma is talking over bringing it back on a federal level. It is now already being allowed on a local and regional level. Six regions have already voted it in and now the much longer process of being on a federal level will have to start…

I wish the west would do this. Could you imagine the turn out to tell the idiots in office that we do not want any of you. For when you have a vote for “Frick or Frack,” there is nothing to vote for and I remember the last few presidential election is America. It was truly a vote for the lessor of the two evils and both candidates are and have been pathetic…

I am glad Russia is doing this for you have a right to vote for no one and that vote deserves to be heard. For “Nobody” is and can be a powerful candidate…

Wow we have had fantastic weather these holidays, but it soon will end and outside now it is starting to drop, both the snow is blowing and the mercury is going down. I will not complain as we have had wonderful weather and the ground was almost empty of snow. Sometimes we get a break here in Moscow and this year that break from the weather was extended. Those are my thoughts as I sip a cup of wonderful coffee…

I see thousands of articles about how the weather with Russia and America have switched. I see thousands of articles that proclaim Global Warming is to blame. I see thousands of articles blaming HAARP. I see just thousands of articles that blame anything and everything there could be and I see thousands of articles about how terrible it is in America. I realized that all these articles are to distract people and it is working…

I have to say that the Americans are crying as loud as the Russians did years ago when the temperatures in Russia hit record highs and we burned up half the country in wild fires. Seriously the Americans are acting like a bunch of wimps who have frozen butts, just like the Russians acted like a bunch of wimps years ago as they thought their hair was going to catch on fire from the heat. I swear people complain about everything and I hear people complaining about the weather we have had in Moscow, but not me! I won’t complain and I can tell you that Sveta has loved this warm weather…

Oh no! Here comes the cold weather… 🙂

Everyone get warm or cooler! Whatever the need is where you are located and have fun. Have a nice day…

Simonov Monastery (Russian: Симонов монастырь) located near Moscow was originated around 1370 by Feodor the monk, who is a nephew and disciple of famous St Sergius of Radonezh. During the 15th century, the monastery was the wealthiest and most renowned in all of Moscow. Among the famous monks who lived and worked there were Vassian Patrikeyev and Maximus the Greek. The monastery was heavily fortified and as almost all monasteries, it defended the cities that it was near. This monastery defended the south side of Moscow…

The monastery was destroyed by the Bolsheviks in 1923, as were most monasteries in the Soviet Union. This monastery became an automobile plant. Some structures survived and not long ago the Moscow government created plans for a reconstruction of the monastery…

I could have used a picture from today and you really do not see the monastery in her splendor. So I used this beautiful painting of the monastery to show how she looked in the early 1900’s before it was destroyed to make room for the Soviet industrial world…
