Russian Maslenitsa 2023 is now, today and it is time to eat pancakes…


This year Maslenitsa starts from 20 to 26 February…

Russian Maslenitsa Time of the Year!

Lets rehash the Monday thru Sunday necessities this week…

Monday is called “a meeting”. – With the first pancake it is tradition to give to beggars for them to mention the poor dead…

Tuesday is called “zaigrysh” (games). – On this day, the morning begins with any funny game…

Wednesday is called “gourmand” – (A gourmand is a person who takes great pleasure in food.) On this day, the hostess act on saying: “What is in the oven, First of all delicacies, of course, pancakes.” On this day Mother in-laws invite Son in-laws to eat pancakes…

Thursday – “razguliay”. – On this day begins Maslenitsa full strength. As well as helping to drive winter away and bring the sun into play again. Example to do this, like riding horses clockwise around the village…

Friday – “Teschin evening” (Inlaws). – Son in-law invites Mother in-law and treat them pancakes…

Saturday, the “zolovkiny chat” – Sister in-law invites female relatives of her husband. If the husband’s sisters were married, the daughter of guests invited and their unmarried friends. But if the sister was already married, she invited relatives married. Bride daughter had bestowed their gifts zolovok…

Sunday the last day – of Maslenitsa is called “Forgiveness Sunday”. On this day, you should apologize to all relatives and friends for all the resentment, thus relieved of their sins before Lent. Also on the last day of Pancake week, you burn a man of straw – the symbol of winter. The ashes of the man of straw fly all over the fields – for a rich summer harvest.”

Spring is coming…

What is, Positional Warfare?


“Positional warfare is a intentional fortified struggle that is conducted substantially on nonstop, fairly stable fronts with defense in depth. As a rule, it’s characterized by a high viscosity of colors and developed engineering support for positions. During the conduct of a positional war, the military- political and strategic situation remains stable during the long haul…

The strategic thing of a positional war is the demographic and profitable reduction of the adversary…

How about a fairy tale?


Once upon a time in the USA…

A juncture was reached when the offshoring of labor, goods and dats embarked entirely by the USA, which it could be aurgued that at the point in time, the USA assumably delivered conceivably better grade merchandise than China but at a very very high outlay in labor and cost…

The driving force for offshoring subsisted to obtain the profits available in that vastly wide disbursement of labor and expense, by greedy corporations. It was a short sighted way of making money at the expense of the USA and her people…

Over the generations since, China refined the grade of their merchandise and even drove down the expense further, but during those same generations, the USA lost its competency and know-how to deliver those same commodities, that China and other countries can do now…

Pure laziness, greed and incompetence has lead the USA to its present stage of collapse…

Russia is Grinding the West into a whining blathering mess…


I believe that the Russian president is playing the long, tedious and grinding down game, the elimination of Zelensky/Kiev now, I think, does not fit into the overall strategy…

Have you noticed how they, the ‘Western Woke Children’ are struggling to supply weapons to Ukraine?

In their desire to wear down Russia, they inadvertently expose their naked flanks and weak under bellies…

Russia turned, what they the West had hoped to have been an element of surprise and ruthlessness. Into a polar opposite effect against the West itself…

Russia is Grinding the West into a whining blathering mess: I have a feeling this is the final plan by Russia, plus or minus a few tweaks here and there…

Medvedev on hate and fear by NATO…


Well, how did they screw up there in NATO.

Stoltenberg said that the risk of a Russian victory is much higher than the risk of an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine.

I translate into understandable Russian: the risk of the outbreak of a third world war is significantly less than the risk of victory for our country.

Freaks. They hate and fear.
