Chechen War is Over?
2008-07-06 02:57:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated July 12:A Norwegian Russophile of unknown motivations came to the blog to comment on the post about the execution of six Russian conscripts. He repeated the usual pro-Russian propaganda about the crazy Chechen War.I don't know about the Norwegians, but the truth is that almost all Greeks, Serbs, Montenegrins and Macedonians will always line up with Russia. I'm not sure about Bulgarians. Also you are going to see this to some extent in Romania, especially in Moldova. It's not so much Pan-Slavism (which doesn't really exist in a rational form), but more Pan-Orthodoxism.For instance, the Poles, Czechs and Ukrainians are all Slavs, but you don't necessarily see pan-Slavism with them. In the Poles, it is almost nonexistent. This is due to the Catholicism of the Poles. In the 20th Century, there were horrible wars waged with Polish Cat...

Six Russian Conscripts Beheading
2008-07-05 12:46:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated July 8. I am posting this video because it is related to the neo-Nazi beheading video that is creating such a storm on the Internets.This is one of the sickest, most messed up videos I've ever seen. I watched it once and I don't think I can watch it again. My regular readers probably don't even want to watch this, but there's tons of people on the Net who love this stuff, so here it is.I've been listening to it a few times this morning to test it (with the visual removed, only the sound) and just the sounds are bad enough. This is worse than the neo-Nazi one if you ask me.Recently, the neo-Nazi video was proven to be real, sadly. The family of the poor man beheaded in the video recognized him when they saw the movie on the Internet.Subsequently, Russian law enforcement, which had originally dismissed the video as a fake (I never t...

Market Vectors Russia (RSX): 'Newfound wealth'
2008-06-23 00:00:00 "In a year wracked by economic uncertainty and stumbling global stock markets, Russia has been an unlikely standout performer," explains global investment expert Nick Vardy (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2125).In- his Global Bull Market Alert (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2125), the advisor asserts, "The Market Vectors Russia ETF (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=rsx) (NYSE: RSX (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=rsx)) is a bet that Russia's buoyant stock market performance this year is set to continue.""Even as China is now down by more than 50%, bad boy Russia's performance has been second only to Brazil this year and it actually has outperformed its BRIC rival by a hair during the past three months. "Despite Russia's reputation as a country rife with corruption, scant respect for genuine democracy and the Rule of Law, it's always hard to argue with success.

The Russian Character Again
2008-06-07 06:48:00 Updated June 18:It's always a bit difficult to touch on national characters, especially nowadays in PC times, but as long as one avoids biological racism and instead sees national character as cultural and shaped by history, geography and whatnot, it certainly is a valid endeavor.The very notion that examinations of national character (national culture, really) is "racist" is one of the most sickening notions that has warped out of the anti-racism of the 1960's. In inventing the most un-progressive notion of Identity Politics (essentially ethnic nationalism of one sort or another, and automatically a precursor to some sort of fascism, thus) the Left in the 1960's opened the barn door for this kettle of worms.Nowadays, rightwing nationalists probably scream racism as much as leftwingers do. If anyone criticizes their crappy and reactionary culture (note the long Left tradition of cultural critique here), the Right, and increasingly, even the Insane Left, screams racism.This is sad...

Singapore MM Lee: Why we are investing in Russia
2008-06-07 04:05:00 Singapore MM Lee: Why we are investing in Russia By Sue-Ann Chia MOSCOW - SINGAPORE wants to do business with Russia because it wants to diversify its economic portfolio, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said here yesterday. By taking part in both ‘oil-rich’ and ‘oil-poor’ emerging economies, the volatility of business risks can be reduced. ‘I’m in favour of spreading our bets because you might have a recession in East Asia, but there might be no recession in Russia or the Middle East because they are oil states and they can survive the recession,’ he said. ‘From a broad strategy point of view, the wider we spread our nets, the better we’ll be able to ride the ups and downs of the market.’ Trade cycles are not synchronised in China, India, the Middle East and Russia, he noted, adding: ‘If you have a downturn there in Asia…you get the upsides here. These are factors that every businessman must take into account....

Russian Neo-Nazi Video Is Real
2008-06-06 06:30:00 Updated June 18:The infamous Russian neo-Nazi beheading video, which can be found on this site here, along with a long post describing it and giving background to it, has long been rumored to be a fake. I never thought it was a fake, simply because faking such an act so well requires the facilities of an expensive movie studio. There is no evidence that these amateurs had access to such a studio.However, new evidence has just emerged that the video is real and is not a fake, according to Russian law enforcement (LE). I figured as much. The Russian neo-Nazis are completely out of control; they assault and kill people all the time, and not a whole lot is done about them. It made sense that sooner or later they would take to the next level and commit a homicide on tape a la Al Qaeda and the insurgents in Iraq.Kistaman Odamanov from Dagestan said that one of the men killed on the tape was her brother, Shamil U. Odamanov, 24. Her father, Umakhan, and her brother, Artur, along with other...

Prometheus Unbound?
2008-06-06 05:17:00 A Ukraine eternally condemned to be split between east and west is the image that persistently lingers on the retina of imagery as historical, cultural, lingual, and religious differences are allowed to dominate over unifying forces in world perceptions of the country's national identity. The image of a country fettered to its historic fate is today however confronted by a contrasting picture with roots in regional and national myths, linking together nations reunited in freedom at the shores of the Black Sea. Less known is that its origins are to be found in the ancient myth of Prometheus - the titan who stole the fire from the gods and gave it to man.Prometheus (Gr. he who thinks ahead) brought man the enlightenment - fire and knowledge - denied to her by higher powers. In eternal punishment, Zeus had him chained to a rock on mount Kaukasos, where an eagle was set to feast on his liver. His self-sacrificial torment was eventually ended by Hercules, who killed the eagle and set th...

Unhappy with the manner in which Russians who visit Goa are treated, the Russian consulate has shot off letters to the state government during the last few months. “In the last few months, the Russian Federation’s consulate in Mumbai has sent ten letters referring to 16 incidents. In the letters, the Russian Federation draws the authorities’ attention to police action and inaction in cases relating to homicide, cheating, assualt, property matters and wrongful deportation of Russians,” said an official from the home department. Advocate for the consul general of the Russian Federation in Mumbai, Vikram Varma, refused to comment on the correspondence between the Russian consulate and the Goa government. “But I can confirm that far more attention on matters concerning R...

Flights to Russia: Is KD Avia the new Icelandair?
2008-06-02 17:59:00 If you’re old enough to remember flower power and Woodstock, then you’ll probably recall the Keflavík stopover. Budget-conscious air travellers in the sixties used Loftleiðir (now part of Icelandair) to hop between the USA and Europe. Loftleiðir undercut the high fares of IATA airlines and pulled a young crowd of first time travellers. It also really put Iceland on the map. The Keflavík stopover gave a day or two of awesome geysers, cool waterfalls, and fiery brennivín. Nowadays, the Keflavík hub still gives Iceland an international visibility denied to most territories of similar size. This year has seen the launch of a similar hub-and-spoke operation at Kaliningrad, Russia’s exclave on the Baltic. For years, Kaliningrad was a pain to reach. Now, thanks to KD Avia, it is suddenly one of Russia’s best connected cities and a great gateway to Russia from the west. No more tiresome changes of airports at Moscow. You can fly into Kaliningrad with KD Avia, quic...

Russia: Oil Export Duty at $398.1 per metric ton!
2008-06-01 11:32:00 MOSCOW, June 1 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's oil export duty will rise to a record $398.1 per metric ton from June 1, 2008, in line with global market trends."The average [crude] price was $102.8 per barrel for the March-April monitoring period, which puts the maximum duty rate at $398.1 per metric ton. Therefore we will reach a record export duty on Russian oil that will be fixed at $398.1 per metric ton from June 1," Alexander Sakovich, deputy head of the customs payment department at Russia's Finance Ministry earlier said.He said export duties on light oil products would rise to $280.5 per metric ton from June 1, 2008, from the current $241.4 per metric ton, and duty on heavy petroleum products would grow to $151.1 per metric ton from $130.1.The Russian government adjusts export duty on crude and petroleum products every two months, depending on changes in the Urals blend price on world markets.The average price of Russia's benchmark Urals crude blend was $93.36 per barrel in the f...
