The bottom bar has an iconic image and reads "KOSOVO - the Holy Land of Serbia".

Actually, which ones were Russian?
Lenin was heavily mixed and highly anti Russian, Stalin was Georgian, Khruschev Ukrainian, Brezhnev also, and Andropov an Ossetian Jew.

I assume it's the drugs.
For Stuyvesant, it's also attempted arson.

For political opposition to have ended, it had to begin at some point.
Yeltsin's opposition were the communists, whose end I welcome wholeheartedly.
It really puzzles me: the end of Soviet rule was...

Yes, because whichever black we elect into office, he'll be a crackhead.
People are not that stupid (those living in Washington DC excluded).

I'll give you a clue: 90% of either candidates' policies are in the second category.
The other 10% are a fluke.

When has that ever stopped them?

I'll be cautiously optimistic.

And that's a good thing?
Have you seen the Congress?

Yes it was.
I'm not claiming Russia has never been defeated.
While it's true our major defeats were few in number, this is true of practically any country.
Look at Germany: just two decisive...

Not to mention he's a judo champ.

Here's why he won't win: his support in any given poll is usually lower or equal to the margin of error of that poll.

Turkey, of course.
Russia was up to the early 20th century backwards (and from 1905-1914 progressively less so, but unfortunately that all ended), but not devastatingly so.
Austria-Hungary was...

I'm sure just about every Russian would agree with Putin's comment.
Here is another wise thing he said "Anyone who doesn't regret the fall of the USSR has no heart, anyone who wants it back has no...

No one like that.
There isn't even a real choice anymore because only one group deserves the power.
They will tame but not destroy the oligarchs (to destroy them would be to destroy the economy)...

I fail to see the ape :wub: reference in that :thumbsdow

They claim to be social democrats, but I doubt they have any serious ideology behind them.

There are no official opinion polls and the election campaign isn't fully under way yet, so it's hard to...

No, because Putin's approval rating hovers at 85% (I can't say I'd disapprove if asked, either, and this time I'm being serious) so whoever he endorses will almost surely be elected. I'd say Sergei...

Then again he writes with a subtle, but noticeable, anti Soviet bias, and indeed covers everything barely going in depth.

Normally I'm against separatism, but Somalia is a failed state in the most literal version of the world: the state fails to exercise any of the powers it theoretically has.
As such, just about any...

It's considered a victory in Russia as it depleted both sides extensively, with the Russians having the ability to reinforce and the French being left in highly diminished numbers.
As for a lack of...

No better time to confess than now, while the President is still Bush.
His legacy is more or less horrible anyway, so he can afford to give out undeserved pardons to his cronies.

Supposedly only 1 in 5 Dutch can sing their national anthem.
Russia is not much better, the new words suck, so not many people bothered to...

Saw this on BET and it just about made my day.

If they committed a crime, that's not so bad.
Either way, it seems to me that making it mandatory to press charges within x days of evidence suggesting guilt being uncovered seems like a better...

To those who think this is a breakthrough: this party was already governing for years and has in fact, as a result of these elections, lost some marginal number of parliamentary seats, meaning it did...
