Victorious communiques, starting from the pilot returned from Lithuania - the subjugator of NATO air space, up to more than doubtful "victory" in Nalchik, hints to foreign ill-wishers from the lips of the president homself, - we are not what we were, - all this was too much, even for the Russian TV. Listening to these kettle-drums, fanfares and other drums, the suspicion was born, that they have already begun to celebrate anniversary of exile of Poles from Moscow , however the calendar has prompted, that before this significant date still are a couple of weeks. As the continuation of the chronicle of greatness of power, has sounded during one of these days from pages of the newspaper "Komersant" the message, that they have got the document containing developed by ... >> full

Speaking on the Russian NTV talk show ´´Voskresnyi vecher,´´ Federation Council speaker Sergei Mironov said that the main social problem in Russia is the demographic crisis it is experiencing and said that if Russia does not solve it, Russia will cease to exist as a nation. ´´The problem is called the ´Russian Cross´ because the crossing at one point of the falling curve of the birthrate and the rising curve of mortality. If the present trend is not reversed, in 75 years the population of Russia will fall to 45 million from the present 143.5.

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 10/26/2005 12:44 AM Starving Soldiers and ICBMs That Work October 24, 2005: The ranking of nations, according to their level of corruption, shows Russia getting worse in the past year, now being near the bottom of the list, along with hopeless cases like Albania and Sierra Leone. While the government publicizes some big anti-corruption cases, where senior officials are sometimes busted for trying to extort large bribes, a wider survey reveals that the corruption is still widespread and resistant to any cure, so far. An example of how this works can be seen in the complaints of soldiers, especially conscripts, about abuse while in the military. Shortages of equipment, ammunition, and even food, are common. And there are conscripts, their starved bodies returned to their parents, to prove it. The government goes through a show of punishing commanders responsible, but the corruption continues. Now the government controls most of the major media, and there are few stories of starving soldiers, and ... >> full

Besides the purely Chechen, men from FSB intensely attack in broken open all Moslem sites. Nevertheless, attacks on the Chechen sites aren’t anything new. For example "Caucasus- center" the State Security Agents attack already 6 years in a row. It is possible to consider as innovation the fact that FSB attempts to present these attacks as the voice of "Russian masses", said, attacks cattle from the "patriotic considerations". What’s here to say? The leaders of this decorative "mass meeting" from FSB to the Russian patriots do not have not the least relation as all leaders into those bedropping in the authority of international group. In this "action" from the very beginning actually don’t participate any non-governmental national- patriots. I passed on the forums of the patriotic organization (they are not too much) and explained the following. No one participates from RNE in ... >> full

It spans four centuries of Russia's political history - from the moment the empire began to evolve until its evolution into a democracy. Why have you written this book right now? In large part because there is an extensive debate going on in the West over whether Russia is ready to abandon its imperial thinking and ambitions. I suppose it is not easy to forget that the country was once a great empire; it is not easy when your ... >> full
