Heat in Moscow and Central Russia


As 23 different regions declare states of emergency, the great drought of 2010 has far surpassed the definition of historic. With temperatures soaring as high as 40° in the shade, the heat wave is making headlines in Russia as it breaks one record after another.
Fires have cropped up around Moscow, which now sits in a haze of smoke from blazes in the surrounding bogs. In Yakutia, over 1,200 hectares of forest have gone up in smoke, and the Rostov region saw 700 hectares ravaged by a wind-whipped fire at the end of June. The country has also had to come to terms with the troubling possibility of tropical cyclones making their way into previously untouched areas such as central Russia.

The resulting wave of panic from the ministries, concerned by the economic fallout of this unusual meteorological phenomenon, is not likely to ease the minds of millions of Russians dripping in sweat from Moscow to Siberia and all points between.

If you wanna know who is "living" in the headphones of your 14 year old daughter, a very big chance is, that it will be Justin Bieber (the 16 years old young man, who's voice suspiciously high for his age - another mystery of showbiz) . Another suspects are - Katty Peary, Keshu, Vanessa Hudgens, Tailor Swiff, Demi Lovato, Zak Efron, and Miley Cyris. God bless all this people -never heard of them, ufff!

11 RUSSIAN SPIES

In public, they appeared to live ordinary American lives — working regular jobs and walking their kids to school.They posed as Canadians.

But, authorities say, 11 people accused in the U.S. of being "deep cover" Russian spies were anything but ordinary — speaking in code, engaging in covert money exchanges and communicating via private wireless networks.This is especially upsetting after a week as Obama shared the hamburgers with Medvedev. Apparently our spies were after American nuclear secrets .

It is hard to be a Russian spy nowadays -not the same respect as during sweet Cold War times.

Russian demographic worries.

Russia does worry about the declining population. The President and Mr.Putin constantly remind of the" problem". Orthodox Church leaders wining of "poor moral values". Russia wants desperately more new-born kids per squire kilometer.This is what some foreigners comment,I find it quite reasonable. -


Considering that the world is severely overpopulated it is ridiculous to consider the Russian situation "drastic." In fact, it could be argued that the Russian people would be better off with a lower population. Canada's population density is much lower than that of Russia, which allows for the resource wealth to grow.
Brian Lander, Montreal, Canada

It seems to me that a drop in the world population towards a more sustainable number would do us all a lot of good. Is the encouragement to produce more people yet another symptom of nationalism and grow-or-die economics?
Chris, Tokyo

I do not understand. There are over six billion people in the world. Why do we want more people consuming energy, causing pollution and contributing to global warming? Encouraging someone with several children to have another that will use more oil than I could possibly save by getting a hybrid vehicle, make no sense to me.
Cecil Chesser, minneapolis, minnesota, usa

There are almost seven billion people crowded onto this planet, does Russia really want to add to the problem? If the country believes it needs a larger population, perhaps it would be better to do more to encourage immigration.
Alexandra Travis, Leicestershire, England

If the government officials want hero mothers, they should stop the sex slave trade of Russian women to European brothels. It's a tragedy of national proportions - an entire gene base is being killed, drugged and raped into thin air, and the government is denying the very existence of slave trade. Moscow alone has 80,000 prostitutes, which is 8-10% of the population. It would be interesting to read about that in your blog - and the reactions of Muscovites to the rise in sexual violence against Eastern European women since the break-up of the USSR.
Olga, formerly of Voronezh

Rather than encouraging large families, President Medvedev should be encouraging immigration to Russia. Allowing in Chinese and Indians would help Russia connect with these emerging strong economies.
Jim Wild, London

Why is a declining population bad? We're always being warned that the earth can't support so many people. Instead of trying to increase their populations, countries with declining populations should focus on supporting their elderly and be glad that they're helping global resource sustainability.
Tasha Cady, Phoenix Az USA

After hearing only extremely negative comments on Russia from BBC reporters, even the slightly negative comments by James Rodgers seem refreshing. The fact that Russians manage to work in such extreme climatic conditions speaks volume about their mental and physical stamina. Even Eskimoes and Scandinavians take long winter breaks to get over harsh winters.

Moscow Diary: Traffic jams

Moscow Diary: Traffic jams

Russian passion for cars and how the capital's roads have changed since communist times.

STUCK IN TRAFFIC

"You must have seen a lot of changes," people often say when I tell them I first came to Moscow in the last years of the Soviet Union.

Moscow traffic jam
A Moscow traffic jam: Major roads are often clogged with cars
If there is one thing which stands out above all others, it's the traffic.

There was a joke in Soviet times. It went something like this:

Sergei had been waiting for ages to hear when he would get his new car. Finally, the call came. "We'll deliver it on Tuesday 12th March, 19xx" (here you'd add a date in about five years' time).

"Oh no," says Sergei. "That's the day they're coming to fix the washing machine."

Sergei wouldn't have to wait that long these days. Foreign manufacturers have flocked to Russia. They've set up factories here to feed the insatiable demand for a set of wheels.

Late last year, the authorities in Moscow estimated that there were three million cars registered in the Russian capital. That number is growing by 10% annually. Many more are driven into the city every day.

It's the most obvious sign of Russia's new wealth.

In the dying days of the USSR, car parts were in such short supply that motorists went to extraordinary lengths to frustrate thieves.

If it began to rain, drivers would suddenly leap from their vehicles to tend to their windscreen wipers. They kept their wiper blades in the glove compartment. Leaving them on an unattended parked car was an invitation to robbers. A replacement set was hard to come by.

Now there are shops stacked with spare parts. Some of them are even open round-the-clock.

Sometimes it feels like there's heavy traffic 24 hours a day, too.

President Putin at wheel of new car at Avtovaz plant, 18 May 07
Russia's new models are a far cry from boxy Soviet-era cars
Moscow has extraordinarily wide roads. Its inner circular route is called "The Garden Ring". I suppose it must once have been green.

Now it's six lanes of traffic which often moves painfully slowly. Last autumn, it ground to a complete stop. The Spartak football team's bus got stuck. The players had to finish their journey to the stadium by metro.

You can understand why the desire for car ownership is so strong here. For decades, getting behind the wheel was nothing more than a dream for many people here. Millions more Russians now have the chance to take to the road.

But one of the side-effects is that it's impossible to be sure how long it will take you to get anywhere by car. There are fears that it will begin to take a toll on the economy. There were even reports last year that the mayor was considering making city employees start their working day at 0700 so they could beat the traffic.

That hasn't happened - at least, not yet. It's unlikely to be popular in a city where, in midwinter, it doesn't get light until 0900.

So what's the answer? Some Muscovites ask me about the congestion charge in London. In a city where having to pay to park is still considered daylight robbery, the idea of paying to drive won't be an overnight hit

Visiting concert of Aria in Moscow

neoro-network of Moscow's tube


The Traffic jams become such a problem in the streets of Moscow, that everyone (even the ministers and the oligarchs) using subway "metro" - the best in a world.And as you can see Russians are reading a lot.

The concert was awesome and backstage I met my old colleagues -Sergei Popov and Vladimir Holstinin
I wanted to see "ARIA" with a new lead vocal, not only because of this song:
But since I love this song, I give you a translation.


No witch, nor an enchantress
came to my house one day
Not in the height of full moon
but a bright summer day

Most times in sunrise time
I come to you in dream
but all is different this time
She said that day to me

Exhaustion, loathing and pain
Of madness darkest fear
You hold the very hell of earth,
like sky upon your back
And every one of you is mad,
in both love and war
But life's no sound to just cut off
She said that day to me

chorus:
It's high over there
No one around
It's as lonely there as here
It's high over there, and clouds race...
T'wards a long ago extinguished star

While you still live,
don't simply die
and look upon this world
So many here have lost their soul
they all are dead inside

But walk around, laughing
not knowing they are gone
Do not rush your final hour
She said that day to me

*chorus*

escape from life is possible
but never that from death
LIfe itself will fold its wings
And I'll return back here

No witch, nor an enchantress
Came to my house that day
But by mistake, to quench her thirst,
On that day death dropped in

*chorus*

And below, the Russian version, for those skilled in the tongue.

Не ведьма, не колдунья
Ко мне явилась в дом,
Не в пору полнолунья,
А летним, ясным днем...

Обычно на рассвете
Я прихожу, во сне,
Но все не так на этот раз...
Она сказала мне

Усталость, ненависть и боль,
Безумья темный страх...
Ты держишь целый ад земной
Как небо, на плечах!

Любой из вас безумен -
В любви и на войне,
Но жизнь - не звук, чтоб обрывать...,
Она сказала мне

... Там, высоко - нет никого
Там также одиноко, как и здесь
Там, высоко - бег облаков
К погасшей много лет назад звезде

Пока ты жив, не умирай,
На этот мир взгляни -
У многих здесь душа мертва,
Они мертвы внутри!

Но ходят и смеются,
Не зная, что их нет...
Не торопи свой смертный час, -
Она сказала мне

Сбежать от жизни можно
От смерти - никогда.
Сама жизнь крылья сложит
И я вернусь сюда...

Не ведьма, не колдунья
Явилась в дом ко мне,
А летним днем испить воды
Зашла случайно смерть

GATES and Buffet Seek "Fathers of all the nations"


GATES and Buffet Seek "Fathers of all the nations"

Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, the richest people on Earth, have publicly declared their intention to transfer half of their billion-dollar fortunes to charity. these people live in the established economic and political system where such behavior is customary. When people are very wealthy or just well-off, and they do not donate, they are looked upon with a disdain, and in some cases, there are possible issues with the government. Superstition may be a part of it

Bomber project

The Amerika Bomber project was an initiative of the Reichsluftfahrtministerium, the Nazi Germany Air Ministry, to obtain a long-range bomber aircraft for the Luftwaffe that would be capable of striking the continental United States from Germany. Requests for designs were made to the major German aircraft manufacturers early in World War II, coinciding with the passage of the Destroyers for Bases AgreementText to all photos by Wikipedia

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad issued a tough warning to the United States over efforts to introduce new sanctions against Iran. He said that the main purpose of this document was to reduce the increasing international pressure on the Zionist regime (Israel. - Ed.). He added the US’s efforts will be in vain. He stressed that the Iranian nation will retain its right to fight against the impairment of its legitimate rights.Can they all just get along already:)

Nature is experimenting...

Был кот своей кормежкой недоволен,
Лениться стал, и был за то уволен.
Сам думает: "Не велика и честь
Служить весь день, а досыта не есть!
С моим талантом и к труду охотой
Получше подыщу себе работу".
И тут же видит объявленье он:
"Нужна собака… Адрес… Телефон…
Кормежка дважды в день… жилье… Однако!
Пойду-ка, поработаю собакой.
С моим умом и при таких усах
Гораздо лучше я любого пса.
Способнее на свете нету зверя!"
Пришел туда и ну ломиться в двери.
Хозяин был изрядно удивлен:
"Что вам угодно?" – спрашивает он.
А кот в ответ: "Я к вам по объявленью!"
"Но вы же кот!"
"К большому сожаленью
Котом родился, не моя вина.
Работа эта очень мне нужна.
Я точно справлюсь, только время дайте!
Ну что я нанят?"
"Нет! Сперва полайте!", –
Хозяин требует.
А кот своё: "Чудак!
Ведь лаять может и любой дурак,
А у меня полным-полно талантов:
Могу клубки катать, играться с бантом,
Могу мурлыкать и ловить мышей,
Могу качать и нянчить малышей.
Еще могу на дерево взобраться.
Да разве может пес со мной тягаться?
Он жалок весь – от носа до хвоста…"

Хозяин слушал целый час кота.
Тот о себе еще бы долго баял,
Но у калитки громко пес залаял.
Хозяин в тот же миг возник в окне,
Кричит: "Вы мне подходите вполне!
Работа ваша!" Дом стеречь от вора
Был нанят пес без лишних разговоров,
А кот поплелся прочь, бурча: "Зачем
Им глупый пес? А я-то хуже чем?"
Хозяин вслед: "Уменьем не владеешь –
Хоть всем хорош, да лаять не умеешь!"
