Windows to Russia

This morning at 5:30 am, Boza and I stood on the crest of a hill looking out over kilometers and kilometers of vast expanse of land. The land was full of trees, farms, lakes and peace. Not quiet, but peace… I could hear a farm tractor in the distance and saw the old Soviet blue […]

When I grew up my grandma would make these wonderful burgers. They were so good and my favorite color of purple, that I would eat three or more if allowed. This meat burger was wonderful and there always seemed to be lots of extra patties when these big purple meat patties were served. Later in […]

I have discovered the pattern of development in this Russian village’s past. It was a female monastery to start with, then it became a village called Communal and that was a farm village, then it became a school for the deaf and blind and then it became just simply a village. Now we will add […]

I chose today, due to the cloud cover, to wash all the dishes and my clothes. It is hard on me to stand in the hot sun too long and I took advantage of a partly sunny day. If this day holds on to partly sunny, I will most likely install a carburetor on our […]

Many many moons ago the West started it (That impossible lenticularis motion of ignorance that the world seems to rotate through every few hundred years!) and actually, virtually everything is a failure, except for making the rich richer.

This is the start of the Russian Village Posts and this is the page that will be presented from now and tell the end of summer when I have to come back home. The blog is above in an easy to find link. This page / post / article / whatever will be full of […]

The U.S. has been given a red line and if the U.S. is wanting a war, then cross it, or else shut the hell up and go back to playing footsie propaganda with the American population… Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov Wednesday said he would not recommend anyone attack the Crimean peninsula, even if it […]

Boza and I are bachelors again for at least 10 days. Maybe longer and maybe not! Therefore I decided to post some pictures that Sveta and I took, mostly by Sveta… The Martin family of birds thrive in this village. The Bell Tower is a Purple Martin / Scissor-tail Swallow haven and the old packed […]

I posted this many years ago and decided to bring it forward, for while some of the information has changed, the time frames have changed, the needs and desire have not and most likely things will change a million times before they are done. The data given in the post is accurate and important… The […]
