Another good Russian village friend died…


Yes I have fond memories!

Nicolai or Nikolai Ivanovich.

He passed away last week and we just found out about it. I wish that his wife had let me know, I would have gone, the funeral was this last Monday in Moscow…

This wonderful man became a good friend of mine. I was not so much a friend with his wife (she tolerated me 🙂 ) but with Nicolai, he was my buddy. We traveled to town every week during the summer and shopped for food…

I was the one who saw the deterioration of his health and it crushed me. He was a good friend. He taught me to use a scythe, he helped with the fence, he taught me lots of new Russia words, he gave me his childhood fishing poll and he sat with me at our picnic table and we talked about life in general…

I was lucky to have such a good friend as he was… He was my друг (friend)…

I will miss him in my Tiny Russian Village escapades…

This winter we lost Boza, Nicolai and Boris, they say death it comes in threes and these were all three very good friends of mine…

Sad day today…

Why are the western media catching up now? Is it part of the “it wasn’t true then but we can definitely see it now” oops approach?


Ukraine’s National Militia says it “polices” the streets. So why does it also fight the police themselves?

Source: ‘Restoring order’ far-right style

The BBC report sounds ambiguous, or rather looks like a travesty. It has reached a point that it is impossible to continue hiding the facts in Ukraine, so they obfuscate the events which led to the present situation. Now that the situation has spiraled out of their control. They (west) start washing their hands of all wrong doing…

Yes for you MSM lovers? BBC report: http://www.bbc.com/news/av/43632454/ukraine-on-patrol-with-the-far-right-national-militia

Spring Finally Sprung and that cup of coffee, + my trip…


Coffee Time:

Established 1903, UK…

Our name, “Bourbon Coffee,” originates from the Bourbon varietal of Arabic coffee beans, which has grown wild in Rwanda for over a century.

A UK company has gotten Globus to carry this coffee and it is on sale for 129 rubles a 100 grams. I stretched the budget and got one today. Globus was packed this morning at opening and that is how you can tell easter is coming…

I am sipping a cup right now as I write this article and it is really good. may have to sell my body on the street corners and get more coffee. Except, no one would pay for a grouchy bear! 😉

I will count out my coins and get some more tomorrow. Gotta buy when the price is right…

Spring has sprung:

Mother nature wastes no time in Russia. As soon as Old Man Winter finally goes to sleep, she jumps on the band wagon and starts growing. She has to, for six months is the basic winter in our neck of Russia and if you snooze you lose…. +7 today and it feels like the Bahamas around here…

Spring in Russia… Yes it is…

Ice is melting, the piles of snow to the moon are disappearing and I found our car finally…

I have said very little about what happened in Europe:

I won’t talk (much) about twice being searched and harassed by police. This is while one of the times, six or seven Muslims walked by and called the cops everything but a white boy, while making interesting love signs with their middle fingers. I asked what about them and their language and finger jesters? I was told to shut up or I would regret opening my mouth….so I shut my mouth, jail is no fun…

The cops are scared of the Muslims and that was obvious….I was let go after they discovered I was an American, but they harassed me because they thought I was Russians…

I won’t say much about all the Russians being finger printed (and sometimes actually pictures taken of them. Maybe blood samples next?) at the border crossings and no, not by the Russian side of the border! Jeez people… The European side of the border just plain sucked to get through, Russia was efficient and a breeze. Thank you Russia for making life easier…

I will not say much about the cost of food has gone up twice to three times as much as the last time I was there. Seriously, outrageous….example: 5 € + for a simple McDooddle Big Mac burger. That is over 6$ and climbing. Thus I went to stores and utilized the fridge in the room and ate much cheaper (easily ate twice for the price of one burger)….besides McD’s is not really very good for you…

I will not say much about the hotel I use to love. It has been bought by new owners and has lost its charm. It is now owned by Turkish people and they have even opened a grocery store up across the street….the standards are totally different and now I will look for a new hotel system as I travel…

I will not tell about all that happened, because it was a very poor trip. From 24 hour hate Trump, hate Russia, Hate Iran, Hate China and BBC, CNN and SKY news led the way to the propaganda delights….but I did notice some underlining expressions. The graffiti is becoming sorta, “Time for a change!” as it is spread out over many many walls and doorways…

This sign is also in many doorways. Guards everywhere and cameras to stop you from being an animal… 😉

They say they will put you on YouTube and you can be a star…

Some images…

I was alone, help…

Then we lost most of the train for hours… Total of eighteen cars, I was in #2 from the engine…

Two cars only after we crossed the border into Europe….Many Russians were taken off at the border and ?????

That is enough and while I had fun, I also found things very interesting and getting bad. Very unhappy people, just like I said once about Ukraine….it is looking rough and being taken over by immigrants. Literally…

As the police in Europe told me a dozen times, “Move along now, nothing to see here!”

Have a nice day, I am and I also am so happy to be back to my Sweetie in a safe and sound Russia…

That is why I love Russia…

Moscow has begun the delivery of the S-400 Triumf to China…


MOSCOW, January 18. /TASS/.
Moscow has begun the delivery of the S-400 Triumf air defense missile systems to China under the 2014 contract, a source close to the Russian system of military cooperation told TASS on Thursday.

“The implementation of the contract has begun, the first shipment has been sent to China,” the source said.

According to the source, the shipment includes a control station, a radar station, energy and support equipment, spare parts, various tools and other elements of the S-400 system.

The source also said that the contact with China stipulated neither technology transfer nor licensed production.

In 2017, Russia trained a group of Chinese military servicemen to use the S-400 systems.

Meanwhile, Russia’s Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation has declined to provide any comments.

Contract with China: In November 2014, it was announced that Russia and China had signed a contract on S-400 supplies, and in November 2015, Russian Presidential Aide on Military Cooperation Vladimir Kozhin confirmed the contract. In June 2016, head of Russia’s Rostec State Corporation Sergei Chemezov said that the Chinese Army would receive the S-400 systems no sooner than 2018. On December 7, 2017, Chemezov said that the delivery would begin in the near future.

China is the first foreign purchaser of these air defense systems, while the second one is Turkey. In July 2017, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that “certain documents” concerning the purchase of the S-400 systems had been signed. On September 12, 2017, Russia confirmed that a contract had been made. Turkey is the first NATO member state to purchase the S-400 Triumf systems.
S-400 system

The S-400 Triumf (NATO reporting name: SA-21 Growler) is the most advanced long-range antiaircraft missile system that went into service in 2007. It is designed to destroy aircraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, including medium-range ones, and can also be used against ground objectives. The S-400 complex can engage targets at a distance of 400 km and at an altitude of up to 30 km.

At present, only Russia’s Armed Forces are equipped with the S-400 systems. There are plans to supply them to four countries – China, Turkey, India and Saudi Arabia.

Russia is turning these antiaircraft missiles out at a incredible pace and now China will start mass producing them…. Russia and China are getting ready for war and we have no one to blame but ourselves as they arm to counter The Western Empire’s collapse psychosis…

Looks like China is calling the system, “Tomb Stone”….name for the Multimode Engagement Radar..

Hmm..

Gavin Williamson: “Frankly Russia should go away and shut up”


Pack your bags Russia and find somewhere else to put your country! 😉

Gavin Williamson, Secretary of State for Defense of the United Kingdom…

Go away where?
Shut up for what reason?
How does a country go away?
What has Russia said that is wrong?
Is this guy mental?

“Russia should go away and should shut up”.

Oh dear, oh my!

The “NY State Senate Bill S7708” – the band aid to cover up the real problem…


I was flabbergasted to even think that we have an issue in America with rape by cops against arrested persons? What the hell…

Relates to establishing incapacity to consent when a person is under arrest, detention or otherwise in actual custody.

Source: NY State Senate Bill S7708

New York lawmakers passed a bill to keep cops from forcing sex with the people they arrest. No, this is not a falsification of games about rape. Fact: Up until now and still in 34 other states in America, cops in New York state could have sex with people in custody (whom they arrested), so long as the cops claimed it was mutually associated… (Other words, consensual sex!)

I am confused at to how far we have fallen as a first world country….this is a band aid to cover up the real issue of morals within the system….lets make a law to fix what was way to common placed it seems…

Why is this even an issue in the first place?

It seems to me that before the bill was passed, cops would/could/have arrest(ed) people just to have sex with them, either against their will or not…
