30/07/10 | GORDON DUFF: Some real details about Afghanistan

Afghanistan: Karzai is a failure and was always intended to be, a shill for Bush, Israel and India and the CIA’s drug program. Destabilizing Pakistan is simply a side benefit. A royal family has to be established in Pakistan and a parallel system of governance quickly put in place that will give Pashtuns in both Afghanistan and Pakistan a reasonable chance for a decent life with traditional values but within a constitutional framework.

22/07/10 | STANLEY McCHRYSTAL — NEW USA PRESIDENT?

"A bad workman quarrels with his tools" English proverb. Sir General Stanley McChrystal left his office to sir General David Petraeus. The specialist "to crush" and "to kill" has been replaced by the specialist "to get a deal" and "to make a price". McChrystal goes to Senate or even the Presidential election, leaving Petraeus with corruption and opium poppy and leaving American and other soldgiers with Taliban.

19/07/10 | HUMANITARIAN POLICY OF YANUKOVYCH: will campaign promises be translated into actions?

In Sevastopol the Party of Region hung many posters stating that friendship between two fleets mean friendship between the states. However, there are many question regarding translating campaign promises of Yanukovych into actions. Russian language as the second official language — this point is articulated not so loudly. Maximum — as a regional language in places of "the compact settlement".

15/07/10 | FOOTBALL CUP AND EURASIAN POLITICS: Episode of flood

So the World Cup itself went to Spain which needs some positive things so much. The die is cast and there is no way back even if those Dutch guys are right about Mr. Referee Wabb’s miss-watches. But the geopolitical context of contemporary sports is much wider. And these battles never stop.

03/07/10 | FOOTBALL WORLD CUP IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN REPUBLIC: Twilight of the European football

The most striking fact of the current World Cup is the shattering defeat of numerous European national teams. Both teams consisting of immigrants and their descendants (France) and purely national teams (Italy) suffered this fate. Which path would the football Russia choose?

01/07/10 | LOOKING THROUGH A LIST: Let’s stop our eyes on some events from russian news

So what can be defined like a common reason in all events mentioned above? Well, it is quite understandable. Russia , whatever it is like democracy, has some special attractivity in geopolitical scene. And this attractivity is about cultural reasons.

30/06/10 | MI-17 DEAL: Objectively and subjectively

So two highly-honored American Senators, Mr. Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala., ex D.-Ala.) and Mr. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), both members of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, had pushed not long ago the Pentagon to reconsider its plans to purchase Russian Mi-17 helicopters.

06/06/10 | KONONOV CASE: Why were collaborationists executed?

The Strasbourg Court ignored the fact that collaborationists were executed not for the adherence to a certain ideology and not for keeping German weapon at home, but for complicity in the brutal murder of partisans. This fact is not articulated by a Latvian official in the interview to RL. If we replace Soviet partisans with American commandoes and Kononov with American or English officer, the sentence to collaborationists will be the same.

24/05/10 | CASE OF VASSILI KONONOV: STRASBOURG VERSUS NUREMBERG. Scandalous verdict of the European Commission for Human Rights, which adjudged the legality of the prosecution of former resistance member, disputes the results of the Nuremberg Judgment

12-year-long legal dispute of Vassili Kononov and the Latvian ethnocratic regime resembles Franz Kafka’s novel "The Trial" with its absurd piling of the sentences, further inquiries, and appeals. By the way "The Trial", written in 1925, was also born by the European culture and in great many senses it became a prophecy of the coming fascism.
