Wow. The summary alone blew me away. I already thought this bloodless “take-over” was something for the history books, to be retold forever but this is one hell of a heroic deed. No wonder the west is pissed. It was caught with it’s pants down and rebuffed in a way (blood(y)less) that has not occurred, ever, in history by popular revolt. LOL. Crimea will not EVER go back to Ukraine. If there was doubt about this, now you know…

The European Parliament’s president, Martin Schulz, has warned Athens against deviating from the EU’s common policy towards Russia.
The Greek government, Schulz has said, is calling upon its European partners for solidarity.
“For our part we can demand solidarity and guarantees that solidarity should not be discontinued as a result of unilateral deviation from common action,” Schulz said.
And again said, “This is what he (Tsipras) should be guided by in Moscow. The European Union expects this of him as the head of government of one of the EU member-countries.”
Fear is running rampant in the EU today as Greece meets with Russia at the Kremlin. A meeting that is shuddering the world, as it waits for the outcome. Is this the beginning of the end of the EU? For no matter what, the EU will have lost its unity of common policy…
For that to happen is naught but a simple thing, as simple and easy as Russia buying fruits again from Greece…
Oh my, how powerful the Russian sanctions against the EU have become!
Food is money and the EU found that out the hard way…

Now let me see… the US has worked overtime to ignite up into a war; Europe against Russia, Saudi Arabia against Yemen, Japan against China and today I read about North Korea against South Korea. It seems all of a sudden that North Korea has the actual ability to attack the U.S. with a Nuke (? no proof just U.S. says so!) and that means South Korea, who has been trying to get a better life with the North, needs tons more nukes to protect itself and they all come from the USA… War and fuzzy time for all…
Therefore while you watch, “Dancing with an Ass” on TV, the rest of the world, excluding a few wannabe US clones, is getting pissed at the shenanigans of the western lead U.S. destruction…
Now let me see; This is all because the U.S. is a dying Super Power and they do not want to go away quietly as they cease to exist…

I have a confession to make and a huge favor to ask all of you. I really REALLY need your help now.
But first, my confession.
Over the last year I have been leading a double life. There was me – a “celebrity” pianist hopping from a concert to a concert, all over the world; learning new pieces, meeting fans, recording, chirping about my happiness in upbeat interviews.
But there was another me: not a musician but a regular human being – a daughter, a mother, a wife. And this human being was watching helplessly how the country of my birth, of my childhood, of my first falling in love – this country was sliding ever faster into the abyss. Children die under bombs, old ladies die of starvation, people burned alive…
The worst thing that can happen to any country is fratricide war, people seeing each other, their neighbors as enemies to be eliminated. This is what has befallen my beautiful Ukraine. My heart was bleeding. You all saw on TV screens all over the world a magnificent revolution, the people of Ukraine raising in fury against their corrupt rulers, for a better life. I was so proud of my people! But the ruling class doesn’t let go easily. They managed to cunningly channel away the anger, to direct it to other, often imaginable, enemies – and worse, to turn people upon themselves. Year later, we have the same rich people remaining in power, misery and poverty everywhere, dozens of thousands killed, over a million of refugees.
So, I took to Twitter ( how many of you know I have a Twitter account? LOL) under a name “NedoUkraïnka” – a word roughly meaning “Sub-Ukrainian”, a stab at Ukrainian Prime Minister who called Russian-speaking Southern and Eastern Ukrainians “SUBHUMANS”! Yes, I kid you not. In an official written document. I am a subhuman, my husband, my mom….I mastered Ukrainian language perfectly, far better than a so-called “president” of Ukraine. But I don’t speak it to my family, I didn’t sing lullabies to my son in Ukrainian, when I sleep I never see the dreams in Ukrainian, when I will be dying my last words will NOT be in Ukrainian….
Sorry, I got carried away telling you those things… To get back to my story – I took to Twitter in order to get the other side of the story heard, the one you never see in the mainstream media – the plight of my people, the good and bad things that were happening in Ukraine. I translated news stories from Ukrainian language websites, I translated eyewitness accounts of atrocities….
I became really good in unmasking fakes published by Western media in order to make one side of the civil war look whiter and softer than Easter bunny, and another – as sub-humans, not worthy of mercy, the “collateral damage.
To give you just one example: one of my feats was to confront French fashion magazine “Elle” who published a glowing cover story about women in Ukrainian army. After the research I have shown to the magazine in my Twitter posts that the “cover girl” they have chosen to show was in fact a horrible person, open Neo-Nazi, racist, anti-Semite who boasted of murdering civilians for fun! The magazine issued a written public apology.
I was very proud! But with time my activities attracted a lot of vicious haters. I was a particularly important “target” because of being Ukrainian, thus – a traitor. I thought I knew hate – my playing on YouTube certainly “attracted” a fair share of hate mail. But I was mistaken. Death threats, wishes for my family to die, calling me “paid Kremlin wh*re”…the list goes on and on.My haters didn’t stop there. Trying, in their own words, to teach me a lesson, they have now attempted to silence me as a musician.
I am scheduled to play Rachmaninoff Concerto #2 with Toronto Symphony Orchestra this week. Back in December someone in the orchestra top management, likely after the pressure from a small but aggressive lobby claiming to represent Ukrainian community, has made a decision that I should not be allowed to play. I don’t even know who my accusers are, I am kept in the dark about it. I was accused of “inciting hatred” on Twitter. As the “proof” , ironically enough, they presented to the orchestra my tweets containing, of all things, Charlie Hebdo caricatures depicting lying media!!! We all know what those who can’t tolerate free speech did to Charlie Hebdo journalists.
Now, the orchestra based in one of the freest democratic countries is bending over to the same kind of people, helping them to assassinate me – not as a living person yet , but as a MUSICIAN for sure.
Yes, Toronto Symphony is going TO PAY ME NOT TO PLAY because I exercised the right to free speech.
Yes, they will pay my fee but they are going to announce that I will be unable to play and they already found a substitute. And they even threatened me against saying anything about the cause of the cancellation. Seriously.
And I thought things like this only happen in Turkey to Fazil Say?
Now, the plea.
Before you decide to help me – If you wish, please take time and read my tweets. You might find some of them offensive – perhaps. The satire and hyperbole are the best literature tools to combat the lies. Bear that in mind when reading.
Here is what I ask you to do for me, and in defense of freedom even if you disagree with me on politics (LOLl!)I ask you to raise your voice and tell Toronto Symphony that music can’t be silenced.
Ask them to let me play.
If you want to write something – great!
Or just share a photo I made ( sorry, I made it on my phone, nothing fancy)
Ask your friends to join in.If they do it once, they will do it again and again, until the musicians, artists are intimidated into voluntary censorship. Our future will be bleak if we allow this to happen.
Please stand with me.

Good Luck…

President Carter elaborated as follows: “It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or being elected president. And the same thing applies to governors, and U.S. Senators and Congress members. So, now we’ve just seen a subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect, and sometimes get, favors for themselves after the election is over… At present, the incumbents, Democrats and Republicans, look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves. Somebody that is already in Congress has a great deal more to sell.”

Сегодня в России начинает работу Национальная система платёжных карт, которая создана для защиты россиян от возможных последствий зарубежных санкций. Ожидается, что в течение апреля в НСПК будут переданы транзакции по выпущенным в России картам MasterCard. Ситуация с Visa сложнее и может потребовать больше времени. Создатели национальной системы уверены в её надёжности.
Today in Russia begins the national system of payment cards, which is designed to protect Russian citizens from the effects of foreign sanctions. It is expected that during this month of April the NCPS (National System of Payment Cards) will be transferred to Russia and the transaction issued within Russia for Russian MasterCard. The situation with Visa is more complicated and may require more time. The creators of the national system of confidence in its reliability.

S.I.O.P. which stands for Single Integrated Operational Plan and the one Europe should be worried about is the plan that as they nuke Russia they nuke all of Europe as a contingency issue. A radioactive wasteland buffer that no one will cross for many years…
It was known to us as we studied in germany as nuclear specialists. We were taught that the Soviet Union had no true desires to have nukes for anything but deterrent / self-defense and they never went past that point. They (Soviets) did not look at nukes as offensive weapons…
Now us Americans on the other hand, were training to use nukes as an aggressive weapon (just as we did from the very beginning against Japan) and during the year I spent in Germany, I became very familiar with the S.I.O.P.s that embraced Europe with its tale tale death umbrella…
S.I.O.P.s have been used by Hollywood as a fictional construct in movies. This I figured was done on purpose to relay any fears of the populace that the fact we had massive plans to destroy the world and do it first, before anyone else could do it, is kinda scary. Therefore, it is best to make it Hollywood and let the scares be fiction…
S.I.O.P. may have a new name now (?), but that does not alleviate the issue of what it is about and I promise you that we are no less war-gaming 24 hours a day than we were in the 70’s and to be honest, knowing them the way I do, they are much worse and much more secretive than in the past…
This original plan was from 1961 to 2003 and then we announced that it was over! Sorry nothing is ever over until the “Fat Lady Sings” and she has not sung yet, believe me…
Britain was in on this from the begging and most of Europe has either ignored the facts or just plain too dense to see the writing on the wall. Regardless, the U.S. considers Europe as their backyard and if the U.S. wants to dig up the garden and sow it with radioactivity, so be it…
You should realize that the Soviet Union had no such desires and this was admitted to by the U.S. and only the U.S. has had and always has such desires to systematically destroy the world in an orderly fashion. We were taught well, that only (only!) 108 million Soviets would die and we would then successfully be able to take over the resources from the rest of the country with relative ease…
Time to wake up people. There is a special tailored S.I.O.P. for even all us extra people in America. These plans include the whole world, from top to bottom…

“Be careful of the company you keep!” and / or, “You are the company you keep!”
My grandma loved this saying and she said it from her experiences. She kept the wrong company and ended up with issues that carried with her her whole life…
This is what the U.S. should be thinking about, for lately it seems that the company that the U.S. prefers, is really sick company and we support them like they are the Crown Jewels of love and friendliness…
Simply look at Saudi Arabia:
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a standout amongst the most oppressive administrations upon the earth. The administration does not try to hold fake elections or exclude political spites, or even profess to be in any capacity, voter based or regarding of any human rights. The king (dictator) is indisputably the despot, and the nation and everything in it is viewed as his property and only his property. The tenet of the Saudi government is implemented with severe suppression. Decapitations happen on a regular schedule. Beating, torment, detainment without charges, stoning, and other amazing infringement of essential human rights are viewed as normal. Individuals are executed for unlawful acts like “offending the lord” or “witchcraft.” The Saudi kingdom is led by a circle of affluent individuals who survive the misuse of both bankrupted Saudis and visitor specialists from different nations. Destitute individuals from all through the area are fiercely abused in the Saudi oil fields. Their wages are some of the lowest in the world, as low as just pennies an hour…
Therefore, “Be careful of the company you keep!”
Is very impertinent in this case. In fact it is imperilment to the people of the U.S. and it seems that no one cares. Literally, no one cares that the company that we keep all over the world is some of the most treacherous countries there is. We tolerate and act like we are best buddies, with countries who are notorious for past nefarious deeds against the whole world. Just as we are doing right now to the whole world…
It is sad, because we accept with hardly a second thought that countries like Russia, North Korea, Venezuela, China, Iran, and many more, are the bad guys. We accept the lies about them, but yet we hold hands and kiss and hug a country like Saudi Arabia, a country that is truly at the bottom of the barrel, when it comes to reality…
Now that’s Western hypocrisy at it’s finest…

It is snowing like crazy in Moscow right now, it looks like it is sometime in January, but while it was a mild winter, it has been a long winter. Old man Winter just does not want to take a siesta this year…
So I guess this is Old man Winters April Fools joke on us this year…
All I know is that soon, Sveta and I are going to make a trip to the hardware store, then at the store pick up supplies for working on the village home and then off to the village. At least for me…
I think Sveta needs a break from me, like I said it has been a long winter and it is time for me to recoup from living in the big city. I do not do well in the city, whereas Sveta thrives in it. I thrive in the village and by the time I have spent three months there, I am 100% better in health…
I am back to using nitro once a day (mainly at night) due to Variant (Prinzmetal’s) angina and microvascular (smallest vessels) angina attacks. I take a long lasting nitro pill twice a day, but I seem to have become immune to that now and two shots of liquid spray nitro does not even give me a headache anymore. I had broken the need for spray nitro after the last village stay of about 6 months and find it sad that we have to fall apart. maybe getting back there will reverse the nitro thing again…
So I am too grouchy at this point in life, after five months in Moscow and to be honest with you, I would prefer to die in the forest and Russian village than in Moscow, with 15 million people just in the core of the city…
I am going to put in a huge garden this year and hopefully will have a chainsaw pruner to finish cleaning the yard up. Then I am going to cut and stack firewood for the winter. Just maybe Boza and I will stay there all winter this time also, after a few months back in Moscow for the fall season… ???
I am going to post from the village, just like last year and the front page of the blog will have all those posts so that you can keep up on what is happening in a tiny Russian village. Tiny is actually too big of a word, for it looks like only one person lives there anymore and that is sad. I feel inside myself that I need to live there full time and that is what is in my heart and mind…
Sveta loves to visit and play around, but she can only be gone from Moscow so long and I have to accept that. Sveta is a city girl and she has no more comprehension to live permanently in a village, than she would to live in America. It just will not happen…
I am looking forward to seeing what has been done on the monastery and I hope this year to be able to climb to the top and see the world from the tower. I also hope that the same guys are there working on it again for they did a good job and I am really wanting to hear the bell ring again in the bell tower…
I will write more about the village as we get closer to going…
