She was a smart lady and as long as the press does not ask the correct questions, we will never get to the tangling tango…
That is what is wrong with the press and what the western press wants you to not see, hear and understand…
Russia has only the options to do deals as they are presented by the desired recipients. In this case during the Obama administration, with Hillary dancing with Obama in a one sided tango….games were being played. Yet we want to point fingers at Russia for playing the games. Remember it takes two to tango and if a bribe is needed, the other side will supply it when it is demanded and implied…
America buys off countries all the time….is it so hard to accept that America can be bought?
Because of Svetochka, we have several sites working. It looks like the damage done to the servers has been excessive and they had serious meltdown of hardware and such. That means we may or may not have any data left from the last year, at the actual server site. Svetochka is trying to reset 2016 and back to the beginning. She has backups for that…. 2017 we relied on their backups that have been done weekly…. stupid is as stupid does…
If she does then we are going to create an archive for Windows to Russia and keep the new posts separate from the old posts. Maybe even on a different server….but then, does it matter in the end?
WtR is on a new host right now. We grabbed a month at a cheap hosting and Svetochka moved her main site and WtR to the hosting. Then she salvaged almost all of her site, but WtR is 6000 posts, in comparison to 100 posts on her site. Big difference when it comes to data. Eg…it just took all night to upload 17,000+ backup images to WtR’s new database. That is just part of the images I had in the library, but it helps… 😉
Thus, posting is kinda like running naked in a snowstorm. You are not sure why you are out in the storm, much less naked! All of WtR’s clothes are gone…

What happened?
Lets just say….bad things and bad things do happen! Not the first time and not the last time….crying over spilled milk just will not happen in this case. Whodunit? You know the answer to that, whether you want to admit to that answer or not…
Yes Windows to Russia will continue, the out pour of emails and such to express, “Are You Guys Okay?”
Is all the reason that Boza, Svetochka and I need to keep posting…
News from the Tiny Russian Village and it is sad news…. One of the village people died this last week (No, not Vova!) but….A good friend of mine and I have talked about him before. The family has been in the village since the gentleman was born and he went to school in the area. He was a college professor and a very wonderful man. He knew English and his wife actually teaches English in a university. He will be missed and he died after a few years of fighting against cancer. They operated several times, but never could get it all and it finally finished him off. I remember the last conversation I had with him and it was this summer. He told me all about the Tiny Russian Village as he saw it as a little kid. He will be missed, may he rest in peace and harmony now! He enjoyed summer life in the village until the end…. maybe we will see each other on the other side?
Therefore, I have been informed that I cannot post anymore than a few posts in the next few days. 🙁 My boss and the best girl in the whole world, says so! I got that look and therefore, I will end this and only post again in a few days…
Windows to Russia – Has been destroyed at this point. We were not alone, if that makes everything better, but we lost at least 6000 posts and 10’s of thousands of images…
We finally got WtR tied up against the rocks on the internet shore and if the cyber-weather does not get hurricane like, we should be able to salvage something over time…
Boza is doing good (he does not have any websites), Svetochka is fine and grouchy for her sites died also and I decided that my heart was better if I stayed calm. Thus, I smiled and took a vacation from posting…
I will post tomorrow and I will even act like there is still over 6000 posts behind me. For there is and if I can get some of them together? We will create an archive of the old posts. Therefore, Windows to Russia just became reborn with this post. I have said many times, “Attack and attack! I will keep posting….”
Rossiya Markovskaya, 26, a graduate of the Far East Federal University Journalism College of Vladivostok ‘taki, worked as a reporter, presenter and screenwriter in the’ Vladivostok ‘television and radio agency.
Her nickname is, “Oboronyashka’ – which translates basically as: ‘Defense Cutie”!
Her name is, “Rossiyana” basically the same as if an American named their daughter ‘America’!
Welcome Russia’s new spokesperson for the Russian Defense Department…
The Russians have stopped playing fair!
Now show me what your defense spokesperson looks like?
The president election in Russia is one month after the Winter Olympics…. Just one more example of Politicized Sports, by a bunch of psychotic prevarication of wieners that run the Western Empire…. As I say everything goes round and round…
Every night when I go out,
The monkey’s on the table,
Take a stick and knock it off,
Pop! goes the weasel…
Boza and I are adjusting to Moscow. Not easy for us country boys, but for Svetochka we do it…
I packed the car Friday night and Saturday morning, I then looked around at around 9 a.m. Saturday and told Boza, “Lets go!”
Yes I travel Russia alone. I am not that scared American trying to hide in Moscow and talk good or bad about Russia. If I say traffic sucks, then you can bet money that I am living it daily many times. If I say Russians act a certain way? I say it from experience and not wanting it to be that way…. I live real Russia…
He was not happy, but we left the Tiny Russian Village and started the long hard trip home. Traffic sucks and Boza and I were alone, no Svetochka to be the navigator. I know the way by heart and about 6 p.m. Saturday night we were within range of home. The hard part was the famous terrible MKAD ring highway around Moscow…
MKAD in red…. We get on it around M2 at the bottom and go to the top. Either MKAD or through the center of Moscow…
The MKAD is hell with wheels. It is always so full that you have issues deciding if it is rush hour traffic or just idiots who have nothing better to do than drive around and around the huge 100 kilometer ring road. I saw so many wrecks, hundreds of people watching movies on there special built in screens in the dash and women putting on makeup…
No wonder there is hundreds of wrecks on the MKAD everyday…
One point there was three wrecks, broken down cars, in three separate lanes of the MKAD. One on the right side, left side and in the middle. That was a mess and each spot had cops dealing with each separate issue. Then as always, just a little farther down the road, due to a Russian idiot cutting off people to get around the mess, they wreck also. I watched a SUV weaving in traffic and within a 100 meters, he cut off a Volvo wagon and smash. That makes for hours of driving and all you have to do is go thirty kilometers. The MKAD is a madhouse, a six lane bumper car madhouse… 😉
I sat behind a huge truck and we made our way slowly home. Time is not a factor, but my life is and Boza life is important also and his comfort. To be wrecked would be hard with a doggy in tow…
It is what makes Russia, Russia…
Going to get a radio, We do not have one (working) in the Volga and it is time. I needed some music and they are cheap and easy to install now. Aliexpress has a radio that has built in speakers and is just down our alley. Look at link below, going to order as soon as I find the money…
Counts on the day and exchange rate, but from 1000 to 1500 rubles (delivered) buys this radio and it will solve the issue to have to install speakers in the doors. Has USB, SD Card, Bluetooth, AM-FM and what else is needed! Just will make the time go better. We have a radio in the dash, but it is dead and this will slide right in, with basic wire hook up…
Russians are buying it like crazy, gotta be good right?
Therefore, Boza and I are trying to adjust. Svetochka is still sick, but getting better and she had to go to work today. I am not sure if it will make her better or not. She seemed to get better when Boza and I showed up. 😉 She was worried and was going to tell me to stay in the village, but I left, knowing she would argue with Boza and I leaving. We came anyway, Boza and I are that way…
In a few days we will be back on track in Moscow, just so many people everywhere. Makes it hard on Boza and I…
Time to go, I need to take a nap and get my system on track. Regardless if I seem non-stop at times, I still have had six heart attacks in my life and I must keep that in mind. So, take a nap I will, then Boza and I will walk for an hour or so and try to stay out of the 15 to 20 million people that inhabit Moscow at any given time…
Svetochka has the flue and she is not doing that good. Boza and I are 500 kilometers away and today, I have to get the place ready for us to leave. The Tiny Russian Village will most likely have to do without us this winter. Svetochka comes first…
Therefore, it will be a few days before I post again, for Boza and I have to get ready. Boza and I have walked twice already this morning, his eyes are doing great and I will spend the day gathering and packing the car. For soon the snow will fly deep and cold. Then we will not get out for six months, except by foot and that is okay in itself, it just does not work on trying to get Boza back to Moscow…
Vova will be sad and I know winter gets long for him here, but I will be back in the spring. I have tons of stuff to do at the Tiny Russian Village and it does not get done sitting in Moscow…
Therefore, I will see everyone in a few days. The goal is to leave Sunday morning about 3 a.m. and get home to our girl Sunday. She sounds terrible and we need to get there to help her…
Grandma would have said, “Takes two to tango!”
