By Maxim Kononenko One day, Vladimir Vladimirovich™ Putin was sitting in his Kremlin office thinking up questions for his annual conversation with the people of Russia. The phone rang. Vladimir Vladimirovich™ picked up. "Hey, pal," said Federal Security Service director Nikolai Platonovich Patrushev. "We've got a problem." "What now?" said Vladimir Vladimirovich™. "That American meteorologist, Scott Stevens," Nikolai Platonovich said. "Somehow he found out that hurricanes Rita and Katrina were artificially created using a secret weather weapon developed by Soviet scientists." "What kind of weapon?" "You remember when Zhirinovsky threatened to shift the Earth's axis?" Nikolai Platonovich asked. "It's the same weapon." "Why didn't I know about it?" Vladimir Vladimirovich™ exclaimed. "Does Zhirinovsky know?" "I shouldn't be saying this over the phone, but Zhirinovsky is the one who invented the weapon," Nikolai Platonovich said. "You're saying he's a scientist?" "Of course not," the director said. "He's a lawyer. But he put us in touch with an acquaintance ... >> full

Despite all revolutions, reforms, democratic constitutions and national elections, main principle of a state system of Russia from Ivan Terribl's times remains oprichnina. This principle penetrates all history of Russian totalitarian statehood, brightly being revealed in Putin's today's ruling. Although, in Soviet time division into "zemshchina" and "oprichnina" had not so territorial character, as at Ivan the Terribl. The formal government of the USSR which has been written down in its constitution, - the Soviet authority - was as a matter of fact zemshchina. It only nominally "counted" with authority, but did not rule. The real authority in the country was the CPSU with the ramified system of the Communist Party committees and regional committees. Thus officially - in reply to the claim of protectors of rights of West - communistic leaders just exactly without a trace denied the illegal absolute power of the CPSU, as well as Ivan Terribl in due time impudently denied the presence ... >> full

Sovietization by Stealth Tuesday, October 4, 2005. Issue 3266. Page 10. By Konstantin Sonin The debate about why the Soviet Union collapsed began the day after it happened. As often happens with questions like this, however, no clear-cut answer has been found and probably never will be. Most people do have a strong opinion on the subject. Some believe, for example, that the collapse was caused primarily by increasing disparities in the economy that resulted from extreme centralization of production and management and the political leadership's inability to respond to increasingly acute economic problems. Others contend that the union fell apart as the result of the subversive activities of spies and agents of influence employed by our Cold War enemies, the treachery of Mikhail Gorbachev and so on. Both groups are so sure they're right that they don't even argue any longer. The question of what led to the collapse of the Soviet Union now gives rise to heated debates only among professional political scientists. But the question is not ... >> full
