Windows to Russia

Sammy ran perfectly and the trip to Moscow was almost flawless. Only took 8 hours and we beat the rush hour traffic by about an hour. Which means that we were able to cruise smoothly into home. About 500 kilometers total traveled and despite constant road work being done the whole way back, watermelon trucks […]

Have to say goodbye to the Tiny Russian Village. Moscow is the next stop. We will leave around 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. tomorrow and get on our way to the big city… Vova is sad and he is going to fix a rabbit for me to take home to cook. Yummy! Svetochka makes faces […]

[contentcards url=”http://www.mid.ru/en/foreign_policy/news/-/asset_publisher/cKNonkJE02Bw/content/id/2831724″] It is regrettable that the law on sanctions against Russia has come into effect in the United States. Its very title – “Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act” – speaks for itself. Its initiators are trying to impress on the US public a certain image of our country. This is a very short-sighted […]

Persistence is important. Possibly a few choice words and some immediate prayers to the lessor gods help also? Maybe sacrifice or two on the gods alters might help at the same time, but I decided not to go that far…. Sammy the Volga is done… The final piece of the journey to rebuild Sammy, was […]

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said… “You can see what is going on inside the United States, how big fight is going on there, and [the fight] is very lengthy, not in terms of the past but in terms of the future — [it is the fight] for the White House… It is necessary to escalate some story in the country, to speak about their potential steps, […]

It actually is very simple… (Just one example of thousands and thousands.) I like the Russian cola. It is pretty good and the Coke/Pepsi is okay also. But in this particular case Coke (hard to find diet in villages) is sugar based and the Russian cola is no sugar, no calories and yes, Coke Zero […]

Time marches on, but TRV seems to have an ability to curtail that flow of time. It can’t stop it, but it deflects it and makes it slow down as time seems to struggle finding its way back. It is always three steps forward and two back in the Tiny Russian Village… I thank God […]

We mandate and dictate the world through the dollar. The dollar is made robust because oil is exchanged in dollars, for most of the worlds transactions. If oil was not exchanged in dollars, the US would collapse financially… (Simplified, but accurate enough as a statement…) Venezuela is one of a group (Iran, Russia, China, Brazil, […]

Lets make it simple… The infiltration by America into Ukraine and the chaos installed there, is and only is about Russia…. The bone of contention being brought forth against North Korea, in such a verbose and circuitous manner by America, is and only is, all about China… The same thing has happened all through modern […]

+8 this morning. Boza got me up at 1:30 a.m. – Ugh… Walked and Boza has been sleeping soundly for many hours now. That is good and Svetochka has been sleeping soundly also. Me? I have been posting articles, to irritate people on the internet. My hobby is such as that… Typical of what Svetochka […]
