@Igor. Come to think of Lilliputs. Donbass and Georgia are also Lilliputs. Oh. Forgot. Russia are bigger and therefore have the natural right to intervene. Finland has this to worry about! https://tvrain.ru/news/spetssluzhby-420185/ On the other hand. Putin can be very funny:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhZOi2y75SM Another Lilliput country:) Kazakh song: "Kazagym aj" - Gauhartas (550th anniversary of Kazakh Khanate) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBmFGoZuBiA |

Russia has an obsession for history. Panfilov’s 28 Men. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE-39Mguh1k The regiment consisted mainly of recruits from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. http://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/premiar-for-rysk-film-om-hjaltedad-som-ar-en-myt Today's Russia has every reason to honor the many self-sacrificing Soviet soldiers who fought during the war. |

US actor Steven Seagal given Russian citizenship by Putin http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-37858513 Seagal, whose grandmother was from Vladivostok in Russia's far east, has made frequent trips to Russia in recent years and visited Kamchatka and Sakhalin in September. My GF's grandmother is also from Russia. Perhaps Putin will invite my GF to Russia:) Hmmm. I think I have to learn more Russian... |

That Russian RT and Sputnik are spreading fake news is very well known. Now the American CNN does the same! No, CNN, US Marines do not train on Norwegian-Russian border CNN draws fire from Norwegian Army and Moscow’s RT news network for misleading headline. The story spread like wildfire. http://thebarentsobserver.com/en/security/2016/12/us-marines-do-not-play-wargame-norwegian-russian-border To keep tensions from getting too high during the Cold War, Norway declared more than 50 years ago that no NATO exercises would take place anywhere near to the Russian border. However there are some Norwegians "på tur" close to the Russian border. |

"This murder is clearly a provocation aimed at undermining the improvement and normalization of Russian-Turkish relations, as well as undermining the peace process in Syria promoted by Russia, Turkey, Iran and other countries interested in settling the conflict in Syria," Putin said in a statement on Monday evening. The "only response" to the attack that Moscow "should offer" is "stepping up the fight against terrorism," the president added. "The killers will feel it," Putin said. |

Tomorrow it's 25 years since the final demise of Soviet Union. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qyz7poxAnGI Now it's "only" Russia. Love the smell of hawthorn in the morning.

Hehe:) http://siberiantimes.com/other/others/news/n0832-alcohol-poisoning-in-irkutsk-is-an-outrage-says-putin-as-death-toll-hits-75/ СчаÑтливого Ðового Года и РождеÑтва! |
