Windows to Russia

Wow people do read the articles!

I have many e-mails that pertain to the fact that I am lucky and have several Christmases yet to go. I stopped and thought about what they said and then smiled to myself and said to myself, “I am a lucky guy!”

I also have many e-mails telling me that I was a communist and I should rot in hell before I have any Christmases at all, those are my favorite e-mails! ~~

Therefore, it all starts with Thanksgiving and Sveta and I always have a nice special meal on that day. Then by the time Western Christmas comes around the games begin…

Being from the West I have a special place still for Christmas Western style and we always have some treat for that holiday and since I love Christmas songs, I sing many of them on Christmas Eve and day. (Poor Sveta) Then I get ready for the New Years in Russia and that is when Santa Claus Ded Moroz comes to Russia…

Side note here: I have seen articles in the Western press and they said that Santa had delivered 7 billion presents and yes he even went to countries like Russia, Cuba, China, you know them terrible countries, we even get presents…

Ded Moroz is not Santa Claus…

I hate to burst those Western elated and induced superiority bubbles, but Santa did not come to Russia, nor China at a Western Christmas time frame. Unless you call the profits that the Chinese make “Santa Clause” from all the sales of Chinese goods in America. China may agree with America then…

So no, I do not see Santa Clause on December 25th in Russia. I expect him to show up on New Years Eve and bring lots of presents at that time. We in Russia call Santa, Ded Moroz and he has a beautiful granddaughter called Snegurochka who helps him to deal with the pressures of Russian New Year. The kids in the East are just as excited, as the kids in the West…

But! That is not the end of it! As the New Year celebrations will come to an end eventually, we have to stop and think about a very religious holiday. Yes Russians have one more Christmas…

On the 7th of January it is Orthodox Christmas…

This Christmas is not affiliated in any way with commercialism and greed. Not that I can see at least and I have taken this Christmas to heart and am very thankful to have this day to understand that Christmas was not about money, material items and commercialism. Christmas is a solemn ritual and a joyous celebration…

I have three Christmases to enjoy in Russia, but the last one is the one that I like the best. It does not have a ($) dollar symbol in the window and when you open your ears and mind on the 7th day of January. You will see things in a whole new light…

The church bells ringing are in toll of what everyone greet all others with, “Christ is Risen!” (Христос воскрес!)

“Christ is Risen!” (Христос воскрес!) – That says it all to me…

PS: I need to add that even after January the 7th and Christmas is over, we still have another New Year holiday. The New Year that follows the real Christmas on the 7th of January that is…

So January 14th is the real new Year! According to the Orthodox…

I was drinking my morning cup of coffee and thinking about Santa Claus! Does Russia have a Santa Claus?

The answer is yes…

We in America believe that Santa Claus lives at the North Pole! Then on the 25th of December he delivers gifts to all the children in the world…

(link to north pole)

Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or simply “Santa” is a historical, legendary and mythical figure believed by many children to bring gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day…

The Russian Santa Claus:

In Russia, Santa Claus is known as Father Frost or Ded Moroz. He is usually illustrated with his granddaughter, the snow maiden, Snegurochka riding with an evergreen tree and presents in a traditional Russian troika. A troika is a sleigh drawn by 3 horses yoked abreast. The above photo below the Santa photo reads, “Happy New Year!” (click to read about Father Frost)

Real Christmas is now celebrated in Russia on January 7.  After the Russian October Revolution in 1917, the calendar was changed to place Christmas after New Year’s Day. This was done in order to place more emphases on the non-religious New Year’s Day. For this reason, the Russian Father Frost is associated with New Year’s Day rather than with Christmas…”

So the answer is yes: Russia has Christmas and Santa Claus, though different from in America, it just has a Russian twist to it…

It works for me…

The president of a large country should always comport themselves extremely politely and properly (I know this from my own experience). This was brilliantly demonstrated yesterday by Vladimir Putin, who radiated cool confidence during his annual ‘Direct Line’ Q & A session.

That’s why he’s the President.

But, to paraphrase the immortal definition of Mikhail Bulgakov, the vile Bandera scumbag decided to demonstrate his coolness through public insults. And, I can assure you, not because his nerves gave out after Russia’s head intimated at a duel in Kiev between Russia’s Oreshnik missiles and Western-supplied air defense.

No. Insults are the middle finger (or, with respect to this particular individual, his appendage for playing the piano), which the lousy defunct druggie gave… to Trump. Like, here you go! No negotiations with Russia are possible under these circumstances, so you’ll continue to give us money and weapons.

Such rhetoric frees you from the need to observe decency. The President said yesterday that negotiations with this sleazebag are only possible if he is legally returned to the post of head of state. The little runt realizes that this is unrealistic, so he doubles down on war. But this unbridled mongrel was wrong here too: no one needs him in this war, and he won’t remain on the throne for long. He will very soon be relegated to the cesspool of history, where the sewage will absorb this nonentity in the suffocating miasma of oblivion…

Президент большой страны должен быть предельно вежливым и корректным (знаю это и по собственному опыту). Что вчера в ходе прямой линии блестяще продемонстрировал Владимир Путин, который излучал уверенность и спокойствие.

На то он и Президент.

А вот, перефразируя бессмертное определение Михаила Булгакова, самая гнусная бандеровская мразь решила показать свою крутость в публичных оскорблениях. И, смею вас уверить, не потому, что нервишки сдали после слов Главы России про дуэль «Орешника» в Киеве с западной ПВО.

Нет. Оскорбления – средний палец (или, применительно к данному персонажу, его музыкальный «орган» для игры на фортепьянах), который просроченная наркоманская гнида показала… Трампу. Типа, вот тебе, никаких переговоров с Россией, ибо при таких отношениях они невозможны. Будешь и дальше деньги давать и оружие.

Такая риторика освобождает от необходимости соблюдать приличия. Президент вчера сказал, что переговоры с этой тварью возможны только в случае её легального возвращения на пост главы государства. Недоносок понимает, что это нереально, и ставит на войну. Но распоясавшийся ублюдок и здесь ошибся: он и на войне никому не нужен, и долго не удержится в кресле. История совсем скоро сольёт его в выгребную яму с нечистотами, которая и поглотит ничтожество в удушливых миазмах забвения…

It’s impossible to ignore the editorial published in The Times, where the bastards called the terrorist attack on Igor Kirillov and his assistant a “legitimate act of defence.”

Well, then… According to this logic:
1. All NATO decision-makers from countries that provided military assistance to Bandera Ukraine are participating in a hybrid or conventional war against Russia. There’s a whole legion of them. There’s not even enough space to list them, but all these individuals can and should be considered legitimate military targets for the Russian state. And for all Russian patriots, for that matter.
2. The people who committed the crimes against Russia named above always have accomplices. And they, too, are now legitimate military targets. These may include the lousy jackals from The Times, who cowardly hid behind an editorial. Meaning, the publication’s entire management team.

Logical? Very! So, be careful! After all, anything goes in London…

Невозможно проигнорировать публикацию в The Times. Ублюдки в редакционной статье назвали теракт против И. А. Кириллова и его помощника «законным актом обороны».

Ну что ж… По этой логике:

1. Все должностные лица стран НАТО, принимавшие решение о военной помощи бандеровской Украине, участвуют в гибридной или обычной войне против России. Имя им – легион. Перечислять не буду, места жалко. И все эти лица могут и должны рассматриваться как законная военная цель для российского государства. И просто для всех патриотов России.

2. У лиц, которые выступили исполнителями преступлений против России, поименованных в п. 1, всегда есть пособники. И они тоже отныне законная военная цель. К ним могут быть отнесены и паршивые шакалы из The Times, которые трусливо спрятались за редакционной статьёй. Стало быть, это всё руководство издания.

Логично? Вполне! А значит, be careful! Ведь в Лондоне много чего случается…

UN General Assembly adopts Russian-backed resolution on fight against neo-Nazism – The document was supported by 119 countries, 53 were against, ten abstained.

It really is good that Russia forced a start to this mess. For every year the West was like a virus and destroying more and more countries with messed up ideologies…

Remember that the West is not the world. The West is the infestation of the world and a cancer upon world peace. – kKEETON…
