Small Turnout In Russia for Solzhenitsyn
2008-08-07 13:22:00 Vale Alexander Solzhenitsyn! It may be argued that the genuine models of moral excellence are great and visionary but flawed individuals, rather than those such as Sathya Sai Baba, the failed ‘God’ who would be King of Kings. One may find it surprising that people’s sectarian views could not be raised above, and a tribute paid ...
Stars Shine At The Raisa Gorbachev Foundation Dinner
2008-06-09 00:59:00 Last night some of Hollywood's most glamorous came together to support the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation, a charity created by former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to raise money for fighting cancer in the name of the late Soviet first lady. Hugh Grant gave a moving tribute to his mother who he lost to the disease in 2001. Bono and his U2 bandmates also played a set for those attending the event, which took place at the Hampton Court Palace. The big money-maker of the event was an auction, which had the star-studded group offering large sums for the charity. Other stars at the annual dinner included Kate Beckinsale and husband, Petra Nemcova, Joan Collins, Orlando Bloom, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro and Joely RIchardson.

Mikhail Gorbachev - Christian (as in Follower of Christ)
2008-03-20 23:39:00 GOD IS IN CHARGEToday when I did my movie Thursday Thirteen I put in what I think is the most perfect clip in all of movie history. Judah Ben Hur (Charlton Heston at his most – sigh) has just been consigned to the galleys as a slave. It is Mesilla’s intention for his old friend to die of thirst along the trek. The problem is Mesilla’s best laid plans were ruined by a humble carpenter who was all about love. There is something in that scene that is sacred, profound, and quite simple. It shows the love of my ...
Franciscan friars: Mikhail Gorbachev is a Christian
2008-03-20 18:58:00 The Times reports that Franciscan friars at Assisi have confirmed that Mikhail Gorbachev, the last Soviet President, is a Christian after he was seen praying at the tomb of St Francis."Mr Gorbachev has long acknowledged that he was influenced by his grandmother, an Orthodox believer and is a a regular participant in peace conferences in the Umbrian town where St Francis is buried.Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer, has also turned to Orthodox Christianity and wears a cross round his neck.Father Miroslavo Anuskevic, a Lithuanian priest at the Basilica of St Francis, said he had spotted Mr Gorbachev - for years a professed Communist atheist - praying anonymously "in silent meditation" for half an hour at the tomb of St Francis "with very Oriental intensity" with his eyes closed, alongside his daughter Irina.President Reagan is said to have often wondered whether the Soviet Union's last leader was a "closet Christian," observing to aides at one point during a US-Soviet summit "I thi...

Rumble: Gorbachev and Louis Vuitton. The end of communism as we knew it. Or
2008-03-01 18:48:00 Apparently this ad has been around for a while, but I only noticed yesterday, spread over two pages of the Alitalia inflight magazine: Former Soviet leader and USSR president Mikhail Gorbachev now makes publicity the French luxury label, Louis Vuitton.The ad shows Gorbachev in a car with a Vuitton bag at his side. The picture is rather dark, suggesting the gloomy ages of the Cold War and Communism. Gorbachev looks through the window at the Berlin Wall, depicted in the background.There is an interesting twist to the whole thing:Poking out of the bag is a publication with the headline (in Cyrillic): "The Murder of Litvinenko: They Wanted to Give Up the Suspect for $7,000.", referring to Alexander V. Litvinenko, the former KGB spy who died last November after being poisoned with a radioactive isotope. On his deathbed, Litvinenko accused Russia's President Vladimir Putin of orchestrating his murder. The British authorities accused one of Litvinenko?s associates, Andrei Lugovoi, of the ...
It?s not a new JFK we need in Obama, but the next Gorbachev
2008-01-27 06:39:00 Did John F. Kennedy ride the winds of change into office or was he the “wind beneath our wings?” Either way, his election signified that, back on firm peace-time footing after President Eisenhower’s two terms, America was ready to move ahead with “great vigah.” With his uplifting oratory and youthful good looks, Barack Obama has drawn comparisons to Kennedy. Nor has he been quick to disabuse us of the notion that he can recover JFK’s fallen torch. For instance, in the spirit of JFK’s legendary challenge to “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country,” Barack issued a “call to serve” back in July. Describing we Americans as “our greatest resource — not our bombs, guns, or dollars,” he promised to increase national service opportunities if elected. He’d double the size of the Peace Corps and expand the AmeriCorps program. Also, he’d create a Craigslist-li...

john howard and mikhail gorbachev, brothers?
2007-11-23 09:00:00 As I was browsing Google News today, I noticed something that I never noticed before. Has anyone ever noticed that John Howard looks really like Mikhael Gorbachev?I've decided to download two pictures of these 2 men and do a side-by-side comparison of their mugs. And just to make it more interesting, I've painted Gorby's infamous red patch onto John Howard's balding forehead. Check this out:Tell me, that just doesn't freak you out a little bit. Could they be related? I'm thinking, possibly. But anyhow, they can't be close. Because apparently, John Howard snubbed Gorbachev when he visited the land Down Under last year.Bastard!Check out this article Gorbachev urges Australia to sign Kyoto, from The Age, Australia.Gorby's old. He's travelled more than 20,000 km just to get snubbed by John Howard. How can he do that an old man, someone brokered the end of the Cold War?Geez.

Louis Vuitton Ad Shows Gorbachev Accompanied by Subversive Text
2007-11-07 08:34:00 Even if you don?t read Russian, a recent print ad for Louis Vuitton is something of a visual joke: Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the last leader of the old Soviet Union, sits in a limousine as it passes a remaining part of the Berlin Wall, an open Louis Vuitton bag beside him. If you do read Russian, the ad seems to be even more curious: poking out of the bag is a publication with the headline, ?The Murder of Litvinenko: They Wanted to Give Up the Suspect for $7,000.? The reference is to Alexander V. Litvinenko, the former K.G.B. spy who died last November after being poisoned with a radioactive isotope, polonium 210. On his deathbed, Mr. Litvinenko accused President Vladimir V. Putin of orchestrating his murder; the British authorities have accused one of Mr. Litvinenko?s associates, Andrei K. Lugovoi, of the crime, and have requested his extradition from Russia, which the Kremlin has refused.

The New Face of Louis Vuitton...Mikhail Gorbachev!?!
2007-08-02 21:02:00 When it comes to promoting their luggage, luxury brand Louis Vuitton has looked beyond the usual suspects of starlets and young models to be the face of their new fall/winter ad campaign. Instead they've chosen former Soviet Union president, Mikhail Gorbachev. Yeah, I was shocked too. And for the female counterpart cast in these more upscale ads, Louis Vuitton has chosen 64 year old French actress, Catherine Deneuve.The ads (as you can probably tell, because they've got her signature style written all over them) were shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. They feature the former Soviet Head of State sitting in the backseat of a limousine as he passes by a part of the Berlin Wall. I must say that I really like these ads. They definitely speak to the sophistication that one expects from the Louis Vuitton brand. And I also must commend LV for looking outside the box for spokesmodels. Who would have ever thought that a 64 year old woman would be the face of a well known l...

Now, he's advertising luggage (although to be fair, it is upmarket luggage). Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, is appearing in an advert for Louis Vuitton travel bags. Mikhail Gorbachev is one of the stars of the new ad campaignIt might seem an odd choice for a Nobel Peace Prize winner who has a nice pension, bodyguardsand the right to live rent-free in a state residence of his choice. But this, it seems, is a special case. Or suitcase. Mr Gorbachev, 76, is giving all the proceeds of his modelling job to former U.S. vice president Al Gore's climate change campaign. In this picture for the campaign, taken by Annie Leibovitz, he is seen with the bag riding past the remains of the ultimate symbol of communism's collapse - the Berlin Wall. French actress Catheri...

The Odd Couple - Mikhail Gorbachev and Louis Vuitton
2007-07-30 09:13:00 I would never have imagined Mikhail Gorbachev appearing in a fashion campaign, even if it is only for a bag.The ad itself is beautifully shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, and is extremely powerful visually.I am not a fan of the monogram Louis Vuitton bag because of the amount of fakes that flooded the market, which now make the bags look cheap and tacky. I would assume Louis Vuitton are aware of this and in an attempt to shake that image have put a man of great esteem, power and respectability in their ad.Clever.Sourcehttp://redcarpe-tfashionawards.blogspot.com/fee-ds/posts/default?alt=rss

Gorbachev Speaks Out Against The USA
2006-11-05 13:27:01 Taken from Reuters BERLIN (Reuters) - Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, who played a key role in ending the Cold War, said the United States had squandered an opportunity to improve global politics after the Cold War, a paper said on Friday. In comments that were among the harshest he has made about the United States, Gorbachev compared U.S. foreign policy to one of the deadliest diseases on the planet — AIDS. “Today our American friends are suffering from an illness worse than AIDS. And I would say this is the victor’s complex,” Gorbachev was quoted as saying in an interview with the Netzzeitung. Unable to extricate itself from its Cold War mentality, the United States was playing a dwindling role in world politics, while Russia, China, Brazil, Europe, India and Japan were becoming stronger, Gorbachev said. North Korea, which said on Monday it had successfully completed a nuclear test, was an example. Only China and Russia were in a position to hand... |
