Russia gives Estonia a pair of dead donkey's ears instead of territory <NOBR>06/23/2005 12:27</NOBR> The Russian administration prefers to ignore continuing territorial claims from the former Soviet states It seems that Russia and Estonia will not be able to regulate the boundary dispute in the nearest future. Russia's Ministry for Foreign Affairs released a statement Wednesday, which said that it would not be possible to ratify the border agreement with the former Soviet republic of Estonia because of amendments introduced by the Estonian parliament. The Estonian opposition demanded during the discussion of the Russian-Estonian agreement the USSR's "occupation" of Estonia should be included in the text of the agreement in 1940-1991. It is noteworthy that the pro-governmental bloc in the Estonian parliament was ready to ratify the original version of the document, which was signed in Moscow on May 18th by Russian and Estonian ministers for foreign affairs.

June, 21, 2005 The Way to Slavery. Double III Our remarkable compatriot Peter Chaadaev almost 200 years ago stated the idea, that Russia , probably, has the historical role to be a certain lesson for other peoples, showing what should not be done anyway. It looks like we continue to play this role for all these 200 years with masochism eagerness. Another outstanding thinker, Austrian economist Fridrih fon Hayek, when he was writing his well-known "The Way to Slavery" (this book has just been republished in Russian), certainly, could not even imagine, that except for two ways to slavery, described by him - fascism and communism - there could be one more, by which they would lead people under the banners of fon Hayek and with his name on their lips.

Disputed Polish cemetery reopens Lviv cemetery Thousands of Poles and Ukrainians attended the ceremony The presidents of Ukraine and Poland have paid tribute to countrymen who died fighting each other 85 years ago. Ukraine's Viktor Yushchenko and his Polish counterpart Aleksander Kwasniewski were attending ceremonies to remember those killed in 1918-1920. A memorial to Ukrainians killed fighting Poland was unveiled before a Polish war cemetery in Lviv, now part of Ukrainian territory, was reopened. Since the end of the USSR, relations between the neighbours have got better. The Lviv graveyard, built when the city was part of Poland, had always been a contentious issue, as it became a symbol of Polish victory in territory that was fought over for centuries. The BBC's Helen Fawkes said ties improved significantly after many people in Poland backed the Ukrainian opposition protests of the Orange Revolution last year, which led to Mr Yushchenko becoming president. Shared loss More than 2,000 Polish soldiers are buried ... >> full
