Windows to Russia

Smoker Dillies: Everyone is back from the dachas and the streets are packed with cars and people. The kids have started school today and it is a “three ring circus” again in Moscow… Sveta says, “Summer is the only time that we have a semblance of life in Moscow!” That I agree with and whatContinue reading Russians: They are back from the Dachas

I said that Sveta would be taking pictures with her new Samsung Zoom and she is. She loves that camera phone and it really is a great camera… My favorite of these pictures is the tunnel of art. In Moscow and in fact many cities in Russia. The underground tunnels that pass under a roadContinue reading Life in Russia: Sveta’s new Camera Phone

Two e-mails sent to me over the weekend, actually 50 e-mails, but these two I liked. The first one is from an Facebook reader that followed me back to my website and that e-mail is an exact echo of what I was thinking… “Obama blinked (thank God)…Putin is now leader of the free world…” NowContinue reading E-mails: People think alike, even if they try not to

Russia does not have to do anything, it can just sit quiet. The situation is advantageous to Moscow. Our leaders will be onlyContinue reading The west is playing in to Moscow’s hands on Syria by Georgy Mirsky

This morning Sveta and I got up early and went to the doctor. If you follow this blog then you know that I have a dozen articles and I think the healthcare in Russia is fantastic. Well once again I had to go in and see a therapist. That is what Russians call a MDContinue reading Darn a Russian Doctor visit again

I chuckled, then I laughed to myself and then I laughed out loud as I thought about the reaction to what Russia is talking about doing in the Duma. In fact it is a reason why I love Russia so much… Russia could soon reintroduce the ban on blood and organ donations for gay men,Continue reading Russia Stirs the Western Pot of Gays!

Syria is the beginning of the end… The west instigated it on purpose… The west antagonized it on purpose… The west infiltrated it on purpose… The west terrorized it on purpose… The west wants war – after war – after war – after war… Syria is the beginning of the end… And why are weContinue reading Syria the Beginning of the End

I see the people power photo all the time about the people and the power people really have over governments, but I never see it as in correlation with countries of the world.
