Windows to Russia

In Ukraine nothing is done until “well” it is done! I have stayed very quiet about all the exit poll statements that give Viktor Yanukovych the presidency over Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. The Western press and half the Eastern press have given the win to Viktor. I like to be more accurate on what I print and exit polls at 50% of the vote is not accuracy…

The gap has closed steadily and surly as all the votes come in. Looks like it is much closer than you think. Statements of: It will be a week before all final results will be tallied, the gap between candidates has narrowed to less than 3% with only 80% of the vote counted and the fact that the Ukraine embassy in Moscow shut the doors early against a whole bunch of voters for the Ukraine election shows that issues are far from secure.

The last video shows how many people were denied the right to vote at the Ukraine Embassy in Moscow and if it happened here in Moscow it happened all over the world.

Democracy is they name…

I had a good reader send me a article link that is very important. (Link to the article) I let this article slide because I have all this type of information been constantly fed from the Kremlin website and I just read and tossed aside. I realize that was a mistake… (Some items I still need to address.)

This is a direct feed that comes from the presidents website in Moscow. This is how I follow the happenings in the Kremlin. You can expect the list to be virtually all new items everyday. That is how active the site has become. Medvedev is very open about what he does and tries to assure that everything gets posted properly. I really only see one area that needs to improve and think that they need to start giving more information about the meetings between Medvedev and Putin. This would help dispel all these rumors about a rift between powers, now and to be! But I really think as the site develops they will start including more about their meetings…

If sanction support from China against Iran was even a consideration at any point. That point is gone. America has sufficiently pissed China off to exclude any form of help for at least a year on the political front. I read the Western press and their stories how China and America go through this all the time. I read how this is really no big deal… (Ok…)

It is official: Russians have visa free travel with South Ossetians. Svetlana thinks this is cool because we can travel there no with no hassles. South Ossetia is a beautiful country and will make a good trip coming up in the next year.

Windows to Russia…

It is fun to watch the Western world get their faces all twisted up in a tissy when Russia does things that are considered bad and evil by Western standards. Even when it is the West that helps do these evil things…

What am I talking about?

The proposed sale of the French navy’s 23,700-ton Mistral-class amphibious assault ship to Russia by a NATO country, France!

This is a good article from a good news website that I feel compelled to let you have a read with. The upcoming election in Ukraine is really an important issue.

As America Meddles: “While most Americans are completely unaware of the fact that Ukraine is not only facing its worst financial crisis since its official inception, but Sunday’s election is being sold to its citizens as their only chance at fixing this crisis. Likewise, Americans are most likely oblivious to the fact that the current government is a puppet government installed by the USA. Unfortunately for the USA, and much more so for Ukraine, the puppet in charge was so inept that America could do little in Ukraine, while the people of Ukraine fell into a seemingly unending abyss.”

The Ukraine people deserve much better than what they have had to endure…

Looks like Georgia is having some media issues. It seems that the West Media is turning away from Sassy. I have been watching this develop for sometime and has accelerated since the EU report on the Georgian War:

Daniel Kunin, the American advisor, who has been working with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili in recent years, left the head of state.

“In recent times the advisor has preferred not to interfere in the affairs of the President of Georgia,” the VZGLYAD reports citing to the Rezonansi [Tbilisi newspaper], in each turn citing to sources, close to Kunin.

Saakashvili’s administration refuses to comment the message.

Kunin, American political technologist, was one of the closest people to the Georgian leader. His mother is the ex-governor of Vermont, and has good ties in U.S. political elite, the newspaper notes.

“Kunin was the chief advisor to Saakashvili and the connecting link with American authorities,” the Rezonansi says.

Eutelsat, the European satellite company, disconnected the First Channel of the Public Broadcaster of Georgia, from the satellite, said Levan Gakheladze, the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Public Broadcaster – Interfax. The same had previously been done with the First Caucasian Channel.

According to Gakheladze, no official reason was named.

“Meanwhile in Paris, where Giya Chanturia, the general director of the Public Broadcaster of Georgia, currently staying, in informal talks it’s said the decision was made under the pressure of Russian companies, i.e Russia,” Gakheladze said.

First Caucasian TV channel, broadcasting from Tbilisi, yesterday was disconnected from French satellite, belonging to Eutelsat.

According to Zurab Dvalim the director general of the channel, from January 15th to 28th the First Caucasian was working in test regime, and was disconnected due to expiration of that term – BBC Russia.

The channel managers are conducting negotiations on terms of use with the French company, Dvali said.

He believes that the channel could be disconnected “not without Russia’s help.”

Dvali cannot rule out Moscow is exerting pressure on France to prevent it from extending the agreement.

The First Channel [broadcasting in Russian] started its work in Internet on January 4th, later it became available via satellite. Most part of information messages is devoted to Georgia, the rest – to news from Russia [in particular, North Caucasus] and the entire world.

The channel is based on the Public Broadcaster of Georgia. According to the idea of the Georgian side , the main audience must be national minorities in North Caucasus, the channel was available in all its regions.

I really think that Sassy and his ex Ukraine President – Buddy need to just go to another country and live happily forever after on the billions of dollars they stole from Georgia and Ukraine… (Maybe America?)

Another reader sent me a link of a subject that has to do with Russia. It was actually a very good article about McDonald’s and her 20th year anniversary in Russia! I do not give The New York Times much credit for capabilities to write the truth but in this case they did a good job. Andrew Kramer the author does a fair job off staying unbiased against Russia!
