Truck with coffins is kinda sad!
Going to be hard to rebuild very fast!
I hope to get pictures of the city as it gets rebuilt, we will see….

A group of rejects forced their way into a Russian power station on early Wednesday morning. They murdered two security guards, beat up two turbine room mechanics and planted explosive devices…
This is all to common in the world and these kind of actions by idiots does nothing to change the world. Except to maybe scare the innocent people…
What does something like this prove? What does these actions mean to the the demented mind? Why do we have to have sick people living among us, that only care to kill us?
Everyday I hear about bombings in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and even the latest a car bomb near the American border with Mexico…
It seems to me that the world governments have created conditions that perpetrate the desires of warped individuals to preform these acts of death…
Other words we have made our bed and we are being forced to lie in it…
It seems to me that we have begun to reach a boiling point in this world and now we are so numb to the constant death that we do not hear the facts of thousands dying everyday all over the world…
You do know what happens when something boils?

Drugs are a big issue in Russia!
I am a person that misses very little and Svet always is amazed at what I always see. I believe that you should be alert to what is around you. At least a little bit alert…
But to me it does not take someone to be alert, to see what I am seeing all over Russia as I walk and travel…
Svet and I have seen syringes stuck in trees as we travel. We have seen them laying on the sidewalks and in the playgrounds. I have written before about this issue…
Russia: A Hard Core Drug Problem is in Russia!
I see syringes everyday that I walk and today I got upset. Today after I took Boza back in from his walk, I removed 9 syringes like this from the playground and that is while the kids are playing…
The needle is still on this syringe in the picture above. It was a picture that I took just a few minutes ago. This syringe was most likely used by a large group of 20 to 30 year old that had a party last night in our playground by our building…
I have written about drug problems before and will most likely write about them again. Drugs are as serious of a problem in Russia as it is in America. In fact as I travel the world I am seeing drugs as a hindrance to the whole world. The whole world and that includes your world also…
So while people can keep their blinders on and ignore the state of the world. I guess I will keep my eyes open because I really do not want to be stuck with a needle like what you see above. I also do not want any children to experience the trials of getting aids and or other diseases, because of stupid people that throw their used needles in a playground for children…
I will also express my dissatisfaction at the ability of the mothers that allow their children to play around these type of dangerous items. But then I see some of these same mothers with a beer in one hand, a cigarette in their mouth and the cell phone between shoulder and ear, while pushing the baby carriage around the block…
Yes there are mothers in Russia just like the mothers you have in your country…
Ignorance is no excuse for the safety of your children!
Fancy That!

Russia’s Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) has dropped its plans to build a steel plant in the United States amid doubts about USA political will and over the recovery of the USA demand for steel. MMK had announced plans in September of 2007 to build a steel plant in the state of Ohio, with an annual capacity of 1.5 million metric tons. It seems that as soon as the plans were announced the bottom fell out from the world financially. This caused a pause in future plans…
The money was there to invest but the demand of a failing economy and political suicide in America has progressed farther to the point that MMK will no longer wait. They will invest in other aspects of steel elsewhere in the world. MMK made a decision after studying the other two Russian steel companies Severstal and Evraz struggle with surviving in the conditions prevalent in the USA…
That conditions go beyond just lack of steel usage in America, it centers around the fact that American steel has created its own death bed, so to speak…
The steel usage by Asian countries has risen exponentially due to huge infrastructure business. There seems to not be enough steel to go around on this side of the world and with a European Union in a cost cutting phase the future of American steel is shaky at best…
I have been reading about the future of steel in America and the Western Big News is expressing that steel is making a comeback. Of course this is in direct contrast to what the Asian and Russian news is expressing. In fact, China really is trying to get more American steel to use in China. So Russia has watched China test the waters in America here in the last few weeks. China has expressed interest to invest in America with their Ansteel. In fact an American company has signed an agreement with the Chinese and that therein leads to what came next…
Let the political games begin:
The US lawmakers told Geithner they were “deeply concerned” that Ansteel’s “direct investment in an American steel company threatens American jobs and our national security“.
“We believe that this investment allows the full force and financing of the Chinese government to exploit the American steel market from American soil,” they wrote.
China has asked America to kindly not make a political issue out of this but that was to no avail. This is the same bull that Russia constantly receives…
That is an important part of what makes or breaks future investments in America…

Russia’s Mir mini-submarines have discovered new gas hydrate fields on the bed of Lake Baikal this season. The gas hydrate layers were discovered for the first time during the second stage of the Lake Baikal expedition in 2009. Studying gas hydrates is a promising and urgent trend in contemporary science since they can be used as an additional source of energy.
Gas Hydrates are ice-like crystalline solids formed from mixtures of water and natural gas, usually methane. Concerning their importance, Alexander Ermolev, the head of the department for the development and exploration of gas and gas condensate deposits at the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas, has this to say.
“In 1070, researchers of the department discovered and experimentally proved the existence of underground gas hydrates. The research now underway has significance for industry and is linked with the production of gas from gas hydrate deposits,” Alexander Ermolev says.
It is quite a difficult task to produce gas from gas hydrates because these crystals disintegrate when they are lifted to the surface and gas explodes as the temperature and pressure changes. Last year, Mir submersibles failed to lift the gas hydrates successfully from the bed of Lake Baikal. This year, experts use new equipment specially developed for this purpose. They hope they will be lucky this time. The Russian developments are basically linked to the extraction of gas hydrates from underground deposits, which were discovered by Soviet scientists in the 40s in permafrost in the Russian Far North, says Alexander Ermolev.
“There are several patents but they are linked with the lowering tabular pressure and increasing temperature,” says Alexander Ermolev.
“However, there is need to realize these two processes under tabular conditions,” Alexander Ermolev said.
Gas hydrates are logically described as a fuel of the future because one cubic meter of gas hydrate produces up to 200 cubic meters of methane. Experts have estimated that 25 trillion cubic meters of gas lies on the Black Sea bed in crystalline from.
This means that the Black Sea is capable of producing more gas than the Arctic and most importantly, this gas is cheaper.

The written appeal was filed on May 5. The appeal process in Russia takes a minimum of 30 days. So they expect to receive a date for the appeal hearing in the near future.
Kyle
Update: The argument for Pastor Phillip’s appeal has been scheduled. It will take place on June 23 before a panel of three judges of the Moscow City Court. As is true with court dates in the United States, this date is subject to being changed. If a change takes place, we will update this site as soon as possible. In the meantime, please pray that the appeal will be successful and that Pastor Phillip will be released immediately after the argument.
Medvedev just expressed in the last few weeks about this bill and endorsed the expansion of the Federal Security Service (FSB) powers. Now very quickly the Russian parliament passed a government-proposed bill expanding the powers of the Federal Security Service (FSB).
Also the Russian Deputies have now been allowed to boast of the record number of bills passed during this spring session.
As I have been saying that things have kicked back into high gear here in Russia since the Reset between America and Russia was crushed by the powers to be…
It seems like everything in Russia was set on a back burner (so to speak). The agendas were stalled to see if America was sincere about her motives…
The straw that seemed to break the camels back was when the American Administration sent Clinton on a little trip to disrupt issues in Ukraine, Georgia and several other countries. This little jaunt was a deliberate undermining of dealings that Russia had been working on in her own back yard…
Much has been going on quietly behind the scenes as we all watched the reset between America and Russia. Svetlana and I like many people in Russia had big hopes for a better relationship between two old adversaries. Was that too much to ask for? Looks like it was…
Now with the realization that America was not sincere. Mevedev has become a different person. He is still Medvedev, but now you can see something new in his eyes. Medvedev is not like Putin and would never make a great poker player. Putin’s eyes do not give him away but Medvedev’s do…
I said earlier in a post that Medvedev was a touch naive when he went to America this time. I see in his eyes that he learned something from that trip…

Hello,
I was drinking my morning cup of coffee and reading a newspaper that my Wife brought home to me. (Yes, I can read)
There was a particular article that caught my attention because it was not typical news, like death and destruction. It was about the Children Trains that were built during the Soviet era.
The way I understand the purpose of these Railways, is that Teenagers are taught the skills of Engineering on a Train. The Children’s Railroads were started because the rail business in Russia (CCCP) has always been so large that they needed a manpower pool to get a constant supply of employees.
This is a list of the children trains in Russia still functioning!
Many children’s railways are still functioning in post-Soviet states and Eastern European countries. Examples include a children’s railway in Minsk, one in Yaroslavl and many other cities.“(Wikipedia)
I found this very interesting and never knew such places existed until today. I wish that I had such an opportunity when I was a teenager. I would have taken advantage of the opportunity to become a Engineer on a Train.
I keep saying that I learn something new everyday!

Our Village. The Village: Sunrise to freedom that we go to has had another death. A 83 year old lady that I called Goat Lady died of cancer recently. It was not known until to late.
There are only about 10 people left in the village.
We found out about it through Svet’s Mother and her son Misha! They are down at the village enjoying some fresh air and sunshine.
There are only about 10 people left who live full time in the village.

Our Volga, Model 2410, We call her Nelly!Hello,
I was drinking my morning cup of coffee & thinking about Volga cars!
We own a Volga model 24. It is a lot like a 1960’s car from America & it is a Tank! (For lack of a better word)
We are going to do a 3 part article on the Volga Car! From model 21 to present day!
The Volga is the flagship car of the Soviet Union (and Russia) & foreign cars have almost sent the
Volga to its grave…. (Some would say that would be good)
I think the Volga is one of the best cars I have ever owned!
So came back tomorrow & see part one.
