Sometimes I really think that this world needs to be stopped immediately, so that I and the rest of the people blessed with brains and the ability to use them, could just step off. The fact that British soldiers are going to march in Moscow at the 9th May parade, under portraits of the mass murderer of millions and in the capital of the country that was Adolf Hitler’s staunch ally, is really something beyond …

Bolivian President Evo Morales claimed a landslide re-election victory last night in elections seen as a referendum on his socialist reforms, The Times reports.
Official results were not due until Monday but exit polls gave him 62 per cent of the vote to Manfred Reyes Villa’s 23 percent, which would give him a huge majority allowing him to extend state control over the economy in the impoverished but resource-rich country.

Her home became a sanctuary for anti-Communists before she fled the island in 1964. Juanita Castro said she was approached …

Spanish communist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, whose country will soon assume the European Union’s rotating presidency, said that he will “cooperate fully” with US President Barack Obama, which also means cooperation on Middle East peace process, where Obama has clearly taken the side of the enemies of Israel.

I have read tons of books about the history of the 20th century. It’s the century of world wars, the century of brutal and murderous regimes, the century of the Cold War, the century of freedom fight, and the century of victories. It’s the century that interests me the most in the entire history.
It’s very unfortunate to tens of millions of people that the 20th century was the century of brutal and murderous regimes. Stalin’s …

Obama’s administration now ask their supporters to send an e-mail to “flag@whitehouse.gov” if they spot “misinformation” on health care reform. Basically, they ask everyone to rat out their neighbours, relatives, friends etc, if they …

Interestingly, Russian cinema has always had good films to offer. That was true in Soviet times and that is, apparently, true also today.
And it also seems that as in Soviet times, also today the artists in Russia are above politics and, fortunately, don’t have to obey the political guidelines that much. Yes, there is probably still censorship in Russian arts, although obviously not at same levels as there was about 20 years ago, but the …
