Soviet Time Tidbit: Gates to Hell – Door to Hell: The Gates of Hell is a huge gigantic wide hole found in Turkmenistan. It is not a natural occurring hole but helped to development by a 1971 Soviet drilling accident that caused the hole to leak dangerous gases. Scientists figured the best solution was to burn the gas off so they set fire to it. It was suppose to burn out in a few days….It has been burning non-stop since then and its glow can be seen from miles away. It is not known when (or if) the fires will burn out. 1971 to 2018 = 47 years…

Information: Gate of Hell is located near Derweze, which is a village in Turkmenistan of about 350 inhabitants, located in the middle of the Karakum Desert, about 260 km north from Ashgabat. Darvaza inhabitants are mostly Turkmen of the Teke tribe, preserving a semi-nomadic lifestyle…

The Derweze area is rich in natural gas and while drilling in 1971, Soviet geologists tapped into a cavern filled with natural gas. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole . To avoid poisonous gas discharge, it was decided the best solution was to burn it off. Geologists had hoped the fire would use all the fuel in a matter of days, but the gas is still burning today. Locals have dubbed the cavern “The Door to Hell”.

The whole drilling rig collapsed into this hole and it is still unknown what became of the huge rig. But definitely that added to the folklore, as they say in the rumors, The drilling rig is on the other side of the door to hell…

“In the darkness of night, flames dance and lick the air, casting an ominous glow that can be seen from miles around in the desert of Turkmenistan. The source of all this light and heat is a massive crater, in which blazes an unceasing inferno, dubbed by locals the “Door to Hell.” For decades, the fires within the pit have been burning without end, fed by a seemingly unlimited pocket of natural gas. The “Door to Hell” might easily be placed among the world’s most incredible natural wonder–that is, if it wasn’t man-made. So, what manner of mortal man cast open this gaping chasm and set alight its endless fire, seeming so much like an apocalyptical vision? Well, they were geologists, actually.”

This video is great and really as you look into the hole, you can just see how it is the entrance to hell and falling into the hole would be hell, as you are cooked alive, screaming…

I found a cool place to walk. Very few people, except to cross it to the other side and it goes for kilometers straight ahead. If I had a bike, it would be perfect for me to ride at. No hills and few people…

I also found a McDonald’s (Макдоналдс) and it has a McCafe (МакКафе) also. Good place to grab a coffee (“кофе”, not to be confused with place to drink coffee a “кафе”.) and sit awhile. Go to a кафе to drink a кофе… 😉

I hope to take Svetochka there Sunday…

The plans for the Russian Antarctic Expedition and the parameters of its activities for 2018–2022 have been approved. The new plan is similar to the 2013–2017 expedition and aims to expand Russia’s presence in the Antarctic. In 2018–2019, there will be 110 members of the Russian Antarctic Expedition without counting the ship and aircraft crews; starting from 2021, there will be 125 people on the winter staff and 120 people on the seasonal staff. The plan envisages that the number of the Antarctic stations will be the same as in 2017 until 2020, and starting with 2021, another station (Russkaya) will be added to the all-year stations…

Now you gone and done it….I have said before, do not get the Russian woman involved. They run the country. When they get grouchy? The men have no choice but to defend them…

Sveta and I travel a bunch and or have traveled at times a bunch. We plan om traveling even more and that is to various parts of the world. China is one place that we have a desire to go to. Svetochka is even learning Chinese, just to go to China…

This morning I was thinking how, in many of our travels, us white type people (I consider European descendant whites as the type I am talking about. I am German/English.) are very much a minority. Even in a city like Tallinn, Estonia, the whites are outnumbered by immigrants and tourists. The last time I was in Estonia, thousands and thousands of Chinese were all over the place in Tallinn. They over ran the whole system, politely, but still groups of a hundred at a time, with three or four groups visible at a time, overruns a system set up for smaller groups…

It does not matter if they all live there. Some will, some won’t and it just got me thinking…

I find the same issue at the Russian railway stations. I hop a train and find myself amongst thousands of Chinese tourists, all with cameras and smiles on their faces…

They are polite and good people, better than I can say about some others I see….then I looked up population spread across the world. I found something that was interesting. Whites are starting to become a dying breed…

We may have circumvented the globe at one time, but our breeding habits are lacking compared to most other groups on earth. This has not always been this way. But we have become this way…

I am seeing this passed around…>>

I agree that we have at least this many skin colors. Not sure about the percents, but I see lots of data to support such thinking as these numbers…

Globally in 1900 whites were 35% to 40% of the world population…
2010 or so about 20% is white…
In 2050 whites will be in single digits of the total world population, about 9% of the total…

I don’t know?

I am not a scientist that can have the funds to do such a study, but I travel. Sveta and I travel and see a changing world. The world has changed tremendously, just in the last 10 years that Sveta and I travel…

I will just say; us white people need to get on the band wagon and have a few more babies! (Does that make me racists?) 🙂

Or is it too late?

I find it interesting…

The Crisis Is Only In Its Beginning Stages Paul Craig Roberts Many, including Russia’s President Putin, have asked why the US launched an illegal attack on

Russia, China and Iran (and many many more countries in the world) are biding their time. Everyday that goes by, the Western Empire weakens that much more, that much more debt is pilled up and the moral structure rots a little more…

Time is the factor to look at…

Paul Craig Roberts has it pretty accurate and the actions of the opposed will only bring more of the same. But, when facing a psychotic crazy person, who has nothing to loose. You must weigh and measure the reactions against their actions. If that psycho is a 1000# bully? You must wait until the time to strike is perfect…

Then and only then will you rid yourself of that psycho bully…

Until then, wait we must…

A pedestrian dry fountain will open at the Luzhniki sports complex. During the day, it will work in a “dancing mode”, with water jets of various heights shooting from underground, some slower, some faster, resembling a waltz. After nightfall, the water’s dancing steps will be illuminated by a colorful light show. The fountain will be turned on for the first time after the 2018 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony.

Tidbit of information: there are at least 594 fountains in Moscow…

The activities cover three key areas: sport, leisure and creativity, and advancement in education. All lessons are free. Training has already started in 2,873 groups. Another 1,276 groups are also being formed now to include a total of 17,123 people.

Training courses cover a variety of physical activities, from Nordic walking to gymnastics and special sport programmes. The project also features the Learning to Stay Fit courses, where experienced doctors will give advice on a healthy lifestyle and correct diet and how to take care of their health.

Creative studios offer city residents dancing, singing and drawing lessons, as well as lessons in ornamental and applied art. Older people are invited to attend English-language or computer literacy courses.

Launched by Sergei Sobyanin, the project is not confined to classes; participants in the project will have an opportunity to test their skills in competitions and festivals that will be held in their districts and areas, as well as in the city format. These will include the Super Granny and Super Grandpa festivals and the Say No to Your Age dancing marathon.

Old-age pensioners, or women who are at least 55 years of age and men who are at least 60 years of age, are invited to join the project if they have permanent residence in Moscow by submitting an application to any local social services centre; those interested must produce their passport, individual insurance account number in the pension insurance system and Moscow resident social card. Social services centres offer information on the schedule of classes, so people can choose the time that is convenient for them. The groups are being formed in all districts across the city on the basis of residents’ preferences.

Maybe they will let me join?
