Windows to Russia

That 500 ton all at once dump of gold paper certificates and other games the other day, just made life all the better. While the masses can not see how stupid it all is in the long term. Countries like Russia and China, who plan on being around longer than next week. Just smile big […]

Sveta and I like to walk on Sundays. We walk to the Globus and eat at the cafe there. They have an unbelievable array of food and it is very cheap. The bottom left picture is the food we bought. The rest of the pictures are from the top left – Boza the very nosy […]

I have watched over the years and have come to a conclusion about Russia: This is all over a cup of wonderful coffee as I do some thinking’s this morning. Russia is a country that wants real peace on Earth… I look at it this way: Russia had a chance during the war that Georgia […]

One thing is very clear and the price of beef is showing it! The production of beef in Russia is at full swing and the prices are dropping like a rock, here in Moscow. Beef is so cheap that Boza is a happy byproduct of that cheapness. Boza eats nothing but raw beef and raw […]

The actions of the United States and its allies in Syria have only led to escalating violence and chaos. Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has committed serial aggression, isolating, demonizing, dividing and destroying Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and now Syria. In each case, it has cited higher motives and good […]

I see this sauce when we visit friends and usually it is home made. The sauce can also be bought at the store and it is really a terrific flavor enhancer for meat of almost any type. I understand that it is a Georgian recipe originally, but Russians have no issues in telling you that […]

It is interesting how Russia is closing loopholes that the west has been using to create a terrorists situation in Russia at times.
