As rescuers continue to search the burned-out shopping mall in the city of Kemerovo, many have been frantically trying to reach their relatives, including children who were in the mall’s cinema or play area when the fire started.
The ring in the middle of the map is the original Brown Line….the large oval shaped ring (thin line) is the new (but really old) huge ring to get around the city of Moscow…
The Brown Line is a very useful ring of subway (metro) and the new (but old) circle and or ring as they call it, will ensure the growth going forward, as Moscow expands in size…
The huge ring has been there a long time, but it was never envisioned to be transporting passengers. It was a dual freight line to help transverse the city and make getting goods from one side to the other easier. But….due to the fact that passengers were not to use it. They never cared to make user friendly stations. This is what has taken time to revamp. Adding stations and rebuilding the old stations…
It seems that they garnered a great idea and I think large parts are in use as of right now. It is not a complete circle yet for passengers, but it looks to get done in 2018 as they wanted to do…
Better view of the new ring only…
The subways (metros) in Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Seoul are the only subways that carry near the same and or sometimes more passengers than Moscow’s Metro. The Moscow Metro is the busiest system of mass transit in the Europe section. This is more than twice the number carried by the London Underground Rail, which has 270 stations compared with the Moscow metro’s 163….thus, the stations in Moscow are crammed pack like sardines at times…
2.4 billion annual passengers Plus rides the Moscow Metro….it is true, I have been there and squeezed through the tunnels of Moscow with thousands of thousands of humans at a time…
Iraq: That country that most Americans could not even find on the world map. Is still a destroyed country and suffering daily from….Oops, I am sorry boss-um, don’t beat me…
There is an interesting reflection happening: people seem to falter toward Marxism. They do not know that they are Marxists (as they frankly know nothing through veridical experience at all), but they dwell deep within their ego as Marxists…
Do not count on the people (pitchforks and tar is a so so bygone era) to wake and change their existence. Well, I do know about the US, in the USA, people are extremely cowardly…
Therefore, if people are penchant to Marxism, what pray tale are the governments?
The governments are the “all the above” answer on the multiple choice question, on the test….all governments are one and the same brute and all governments develop along the same bearings…
I seem to have discovered that:The ideal plight for the Marxist is a “no framework of politic” existence, since any and all governments (whether a democracy, socialism, communism or a dictatorship) is a structure for building and sustaining class enmity, through which it flourishes at our expense…
Well it is that time of the year again. The time frame that I hop on a train and disappear for a week or so to oblige my duty to leave Russia. I have to do this basically twice a year…
Plus we are studying my MRI results. When you have any doctor type stuff done in Russia, all information is given to you and in the case of the MRI, they gave us a CD ROM and downloaded it all to a flash drive for us. I am using a special software reader of the images that they supplied also. It is really cool…
Everything looks like it is all still good. They seem to have found the remains of my tumor, but it was less than 3 millimeters (now) and at one time it was twenty millimeters….benign brain tumor….a gliomas that grows from inside the brain and not a outward growing inward meningioma…
Now I have a base data to go from here on out with. If things happen, I have some ability to pinpoint any future issues…
Cross you fingers and hope I sail smoothly to the end with no more brain tumors…
Had a sad moment today! 🙁
I miss my buddy Boza… Tiny Russian Village time is getting close and he will not be with me this time. That is sad and I wanna cry…
But I will walk the Tiny Russian Village and in my memories, Boza will be there prancing and dancing our way around…
Life is good and having a doggy like Boza was a priceless treasure…
When Litvenenko was poisoned, the press all had pictures from his hospital bed. Has anybody seen the Skripals since they were found slumped on that bench?
They had this guy plastered front page news, as he died, 24/7/365 days for awhile….So where the hell is the Skripal’s last will and testament media style, just like Litvenenko had done to him?
The Skripals needs to get on the bandwagon and get their images all over the place. Litvinenko was everywhere…
It’s strange that a British-American intelligence TV drama Strike Back had several episodes featuring Novichok nerve agent and Evil Russkies last year. Someone orchestrating political theater in the UK watches a lot of TV, or is advised by its producers. https://t.co/Pq2TIWn8xDpic.twitter.com/qEbc72T8J7
Therefore, we had this just foolishness recently (below link/article;) “featuring Novichok nerve agent and Evil Russkies” ….hmm, kinda makes for some interesting belly button contemplating thoughtfulness…
Never have so many stations opened in Moscow at a time. The city and the Moscow Metro will open 21 new metro stations this year, said Deputy Moscow Mayor for Urban Development and Construction Marat Khusnullin.
“This year we plan to put 51 kilometers and 21-24 stations into service,” noted Khusnullin. He added that the Salaryevo-Stolbovo section may also be opened. The Deputy Mayor stressed that never had so many metro stations been opened in Moscow in such a short time.
Facebook illegally blocked me several times. Then that started a bunch of more blocking of legit accounts and legit thoughts and ideas….Now, Facebook has been caught with its true colors flying….well actually because the Democrats lost the presidency, what was okay under an Obama win is now a bad bad thingy…
I love when liberals feed on other liberals! It shows the nature of the beast…
Advertisers threaten to quit Facebook over Cambridge Analytica scandal
Advertisers threatened to abandon Facebook last night as Mark Zuckerberg apologized for the Cambridge Analytica scandal and admitted that the company made mistakes.
Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder and chief executive of the US technology giant, broke his silence to head off a revolt among users and financial backers. He described the incident as a “major breach of trust” and said he was open to further regulation of the website.
I very much hope that Facebook crashes and stays in the gutter. Yes I take it personal, that I have been blocked for telling truth and being an American living in Russia. That was a huge issue, Facebook actually, because I was in Russia, would not allow many things I would say and write about…
I am thinking…
So with that going on, how the hell did Facebook get overrun with Russians and effecting our elections in America?
Facebook blocked me years ago, for just living in Russia!
Hmm….this is “Cambridge Analytica scandal” is actually just the tip of the iceberg…
St PETERSBURG, March 22. /TASS/. A Russian Army officer did on a military base in the southwestern Belgorod region during a routine drill on Tuesday as he tried to protect a soldier from the explosion of a combat hand grenade, the press service of the Western Military District told reporters.
“On March 20, an army officer died during a routine drill on a firing range during an exercise in grenade throwing from a trench,” the press service said.
A grenade slipped from the conscript soldier’s hands after he had pulled out the safety pin. The officer pushed the bewildered soldier aside and then shielded him with his own body.
“As a result of the explosion, the officer received multiple wounds while the soldier remained unharmed,” the press service indicated. “Physicians fought for the officer’s life but didn’t manage to save him.”
It added that the commanders of the base had recommended the officer for a posthumous decoration for this display of heroism.
