Economy is more than exchange rates. http://www.worldbank.org/en/country/russia/overview Russia’s anticipated economic recovery has been delayed, and the country continues to adjust to an adverse external environment of lower oil prices and international sanctions. In 2015, the consequences of these twin shocks caused real GDP to contract 3.7 percent. |

Vladimir Putin spoke at the plenary session of the State Duma today. He links the Nazi invasion of the USSR with "aggressive acts" of NATO today. That Putin never forget injustices, old and new, and often use it as a weapon in the political game is well known. But is not this taking it too far? http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/52198 The main lesson of the past war is well known: it could have been prevented. It took a timely and firmly curb the uncontrolled Nazis and their accomplices, but it did not happen. For direct suggestions of the Soviet Union - our country - on joint action, the collective defense followed by a direct refusal or these proposals simply zabaltyvaet. http://static.kremlin.ru/media/events/video/ru/video_low/QLewFjZfdd3uwLipj9p6HrtdEgY9UbE9.mp4 |

A visual aid to Putin's speech yesterday. Russia always want some bufferzones in their western front. As everyone can see they already have large bufferzones. Except against Estonia and Latvia. There is Kaliningrad also, the tiny exclave next to the Baltic Sea, but that is special so leave that out. Isn't this enough, Putin? Or should Estonia and Latvia worry? |

An interesting opinion of oppositional politician, former deputy of the Russian State Duma (parliament), Vladimir Ponomarev (an interview to Ukrainian media) - https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Ffocus.ua%2Fworld%2F352178%2F&edit-text= P.S. Google translate some phrases incorrectly, "валить" (i.e. bring down or overthrow) it means in the Russian slang "to leave" and also it means "to kill", depending on a context. So, the sense of humorous internet proverb in the article heading - when someone offers it, the patriot answer is "whom to kill?" and the liberal answer is "where to leave?" Also, the Google translate "The price of oil has dropped to such an extent that the cost of the Crimea and the Donbass, a small on a national scale, undermined economy", but the real sense is "The price of oil will NOT drop to such an extent that the cost of the Crimea and the Donbass, a small on a national scale, can undermine economy". |

Turkish media: Turkey, Russia take step to mend ties, FM to go to Russia Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has expressed his “regret and sorrow†to Russian President Vladimir Putin in a letter addressing the downing of a Russian jet in 2015, expressing his desire to restore bilateral ties, the Turkish and Russian presidencies have said. The letter follows a series of goodwill gestures from Turkey to Russia in a bid to normalize the bilateral relationship that has been severely hit due to heavy trade and tourism sanctions imposed by Moscow. In related news, it was also announced that Turkey’s foreign minister, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, will go to Sochi on July 1 to attend a regional summit where he could also meet with his Russian counterpart. http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkeys-erdogan-says-sorry-over-downed-russian-jet.aspx?pageID=238&nID=100969&NewsCatID=510 |

After Brexit it's obvious that Turkey now could join the EU is impossible. So what to do? Join the Eurasian Economic Union? |

So, the sense of humorous internet proverb in the article heading - when someone offers it, the patriot answer is "whom to kill?" and the liberal answer is "where to leave?" Yes, Igor. Translations can sometimes be very wrong. Even translations between Belarusian and Russian.

Putin: "NATO would gladly fight Russia to the last Finnish soldier"! http://yle.fi/uuhttp://yle.fi/uutiset/putin_nato_would_gladly_fight_russia_to_the_last_finnish_soldier/8999170 Visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that NATO membership for Finland would be the country's own affair. However, he pointed out at a press conference after talks with President Sauli Niinistö that if Finland were to join, its defense forces would be part of a NATO infrastructure extending up to Russia's border, and that things would change. Vladimir Putin. Stop your warmongering! Simple as that. Some more! He let it be understood that in this case Russian troops would no longer stay 1500 kilometres back from the Finnish border, as they do now. For heavens sake. Alakurtti is 60 km from the Finnish border. http://yle.fi/uutiset/russia_moves_first_troops_to_arctic_base_near_finnish_border/7736771 Perkele! |

Putin pins an award on the man who allegedly hides his billions. https://meduza.io/en/news/2016/07/04/putin-pins-an-award-on-the-man-who-allegedly-hides-his-billions In the aftermath of the release of the Panama Papers, Vladimir Putin told reporters that he is proud to have friends like Sergey Roldugin, who the president says has spent almost all his earnings on musical instruments, which he donates to Russian state institutions. The number of people living in poverty--defined as those having a monthly income below the official minimum living wage--is about 14.2% of the overall population! Two men that heard enough. |

"Being shot by the cops here easier than in Russia" - the Russian living in San Diego, about the freedom in the United States in comparing with the Russian Federation. "By the way, I don't want to sound like I don't like the States. Good country: rich, industrious, kindly, beautiful and comfortable. But don't say about the freedom". https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Flenta.ru%2Farticles%2F2016%2F07%2F25%2Fsan_diego%2F&edit-text= |

LOL:) It's St. Vladimir's Day, which marks the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of the Russian people. St. Vladimir AKA Valdamarr Sveinaldsson. Vladimir's father was prince Sviatoslav of the Rurik dynasty.[6] After the death of his father in 972, Vladimir, who was then prince of Novgorod, was forced to flee to Scandinavia in 976 after his brother Yaropolk had murdered his other brother Oleg and conquered Rus'. In Sweden, with the help from his relative Ladejarl HÃ¥kon Sigurdsson, ruler of Norway, he assembled a Varangian army and reconquered Novgorod from Yaropolk Thousands of Moscow Patriarchate pilgrims gather in Kyiv, Ukraine for tense celebration. |

Moscow airport Sheremetyevo has opened its first company store "Kalashnikov". I wonder if it's taxfree... https://twitter.com/rianru/status/765985078828826624 It's only replicas but it makes me wonder... What could possibly go wrong? |

A couple of hours ago a Myasishchev M-55 was spotted at 59.000 feet above the Baltic Sea. With the transponder turned on:) Thank you Russia. https://twitter.com/flightradar24/status/767675134283018240 Next lesson is that the Baltic Sea is not only a Russian sea. There are many other countries that are sharing it! |
