Unbelievable!

Unbelievable!

 

It is well known that President Putin, as a true patriot of Russia, is ready for any sacrifice to raise the country’s prestige not only in sports, as demonstrated at the Sochi Olympics, but also in culture. For example, Putin spared no expense in acquiring rare Antonio Stradivari cellos for the country (the price of just one is 12 million dollars), for which the people adore him and are ready to endure any hardship for the sake of the promised bright future. Considerable funds are also invested in the media, where anyone willing to please the president for a fee is given airtime. Preference, it seems, is given to Russian‑speaking figures abroad who once left Russia and who are now ready—together with those who stayed—to beat their chests, swearing sincere love for Putin, the great Russian people, and its great country.

 

     

This opportunity is gladly provided by the TV program of the Kremlin’s “nightingale,” V. Solovyov, where they, along with Armenian participants, compete in singing praises to Putin and his peaceful, constructive policy toward fraternal Ukraine, where, according to them, Ukrainian fascists carried out a coup with America’s help. Putin, they say, showed great nobility by urgently organizing the escape of his protégé, the “legitimately elected” president of Ukraine, Yanukovych, who in his haste had to leave behind for the enraged crowd his beloved collection of golden toilets.

One must note the considerable talent of host Solovyov, who at times has to restrain the fervor of certain particularly zealous participants in the debates—such as the lawyer by nationality Zhirinovsky and the Armenians Bagdasarov and Kurginyan—who insistently call on Russians to march on Kyiv. Yet when the intensity of hatred subsides a bit, Vladimir Rudolfovich Solovyov reminds viewers of Putin’s words about Russia’s legitimate national interests, which the West—and especially the peoples of the entire post‑Soviet space—must respect.

Somewhat unexpectedly aggressive, against the general background, are the speeches of Yakov Kedmi, an Israeli and former Mossad officer who has become a regular guest on Solovyov’s show. He is simply delighted with every step Putin takes toward the West.

And this very Kedmi predicts that 2017 will mark the end of the European Community, and at the same time of Ukraine, and that after the meeting between Putin and Trump planned for April, America will abandon Ukraine, and the “fascist” government in Kyiv will inevitably collapse with all the ensuing consequences. Thus, according to the non‑Russian participants of Solovyov’s show, the great Russian people can expect a joyful event in 2017—the disappearance of the Ukrainian state. It is astonishing how quickly, with the help of the media, two fraternal peoples were brought to fierce mutual hatred.

It’s unbelievable, but exactly 100 years ago a small group of revolutionaries—among whom there was not a single representative of the Russian people—managed to plunge Russia into the abyss of civil war, when brother turned against brother. Yes, propaganda is a formidable weapon, especially in the age of television’s overwhelming influence on people’s consciousness.

But an even more surprising event on Russian television, to me, was a program by a certain Natanzon,

in which Jewish participants discussed issues of the Russian Orthodox Church. Should we expect interesting developments there as well?

Офигеть можно!

Офигеть можно!

 

     Известно, что президент Путин как истинный патриот России готов на любые жертвы для поднятия престижа России в области не только спорта, как это было продемонстрировано на Сочинской Олимпиаде, но и в области культуры. Так, Путин не пожалел денег на приобретение для страны раритетных виолончелей Антонио Страдивари (стоимость только одной 12 миллионов долларов) за что народ в нём души не чает и готов на любые лишения ради обещанного светлого будущего. Немалые средства также вкладываются и в СМИ, где всякому готовому за мзду ублажить президента в зомбоящике предоставляется возможность. При этом, предпочтение видимо отдаётся зарубежным русскоязычным представителям правдивого слова из числа некогда покинувших Россию евреев, готовых вместе с не покинувшими страну бить себя в грудь, клянясь в искренней любви к Путину, великому русскому народу и его великой стране.

 

 

            

 

   Эту возможность им охотно предоставляет телепрограмма кремлёвского соловья В.Соловьёва, в которой они с примкнувшими армянами наперебой поют дифирамбы Путину и его миролюбивой, конструктивной политике в отношении братской Украины, где по их словам украинские фашисты с помощью Америки совершили государственный переворот. Хорошо Путин проявил благородство, срочно организовав побег, своего ставленника, законно избранного президента Украины Януковича, которому в спешке пришлось оставить разъярённой толпе, подзуживаемой западными агентами, свою любимую коллекцию из золотых унитазов.

 

   Надо отметить недюжий талант ведущего Соловьёва, которому порой приходится сдерживать пыл некоторых особенно ретивых участников теледебатов, в частности адвоката по национальности Жириновского и армян Багдасарова с Кургиняном, настойчиво призывающих русских к походу на Киев. Правда, когда накал ненависти  несколько снижается, тот же Владимир Рудольфович Соловьёв напоминает слушателям слова Путина о законных национальных интересах России, с которыми должен считаться Запад и особенно народы на всём постсоветском пространстве.

    Несколько неожиданно агрессивно на общем фоне звучат выступления, уже ставшего завсегдатаем у Соловьёва, израильтянина, бывшего сотрудника Мосада Якова Кедми, который просто в восторге от каждого шага Путина в отношении Запада.

 

 

    Так вот этот самый Кедми предрекает, что 2017 год станет концом Европейского Сообщества, а заодно и Украины и, что после намеченной на апрель месяц встречи Путина с Трампом, Америка оставит Украину, и фашистская власть в Киеве неизбежно рухнет со всеми вытекающими последствиями. Итак, со слов не русских участников Соловьёвского телешоу, великий русский народ в 2017 году ожидает радостное событие, исчезновение государства Украина. Диву даёшься, как легко в короткий срок удалось при содействии СМИ привести к лютой взаимной ненависти два братских народа.

  Офигеть можно, но ведь ровно 100 лет назад также небольшой группе революционеров, где не было ни одного представителя от русского народа, удалось ввергнуть Россию в пучину гражданской войны, когда брат пошел на брата. Да, пропаганда является грозным оружием особенно в век всесильного влияния на сознание людей телевидения.    

    Но ещё более удивительным событием российского телевидения представилась мне программа некоего Натанзона, 

                                                               

в которой евреи обсуждали вопросы русской православной церкви. Неужели и там надо ожидать интересных событий!

Kremlin‑Style Cutlet

Kremlin‑Style Cutlet

 

 

   It is well known that there is a dish called “Chicken Kyiv,” made from chicken. Today, during the period of confrontation with Ukraine, Russia has presented a new culinary invention in response — one that supposedly also solves a food‑supply problem — namely, the “Kremlin Cutlet.” The recipe was shared online by the head of the National Guard, General Zolotov (https://youtu.be/w7_HexIZcGs).

   It must be said that the cooking method is the same, and it differs from the Kyiv version only in that, instead of a pounded chicken breast, it uses a cutlet made from Navalny. Of course, no one has yet tried the dish proposed by the general, since Mr. Navalny is being held in prison, and the hungry public is waiting for him to be released.

   I suppose that as soon as the National Guard’s ideological adviser, Khinshtein — who, unlike Zolotov, has a higher education — properly writes up the recipe, Navalny will be handed over to the general, whose hands are itching to feed the Russian people with this budget‑friendly dish.

Агенты Путина в ловушке

Агенты Путина в ловушке

 

  Лидера пророссийского блока «Армения» экс-премьер-министра Армении Роберта Кочаряна при его попытке покинуть страну задержали в аэропорту Звартноц. Главе партии «Процветающая  Армения», не преодолевшей по результатам выборов 4% барьер, бизнесмену Гагику Царукяну, против которого возбуждено уголовное дело по обвинению о не уплате налогов в особо крупных размерах, также выдан запрет на выезд из Армении. По установленным многочисленным фактам о подкупе избирателей будет произведено расследование. Как сказал премьер-министр Пашинян:  «У сил, раздававших взятки больше шансов не будет». Так, может случиться, что и путинский засланец глава партии «Сильная Армения» миллиардер Самвел Карапетян может оказаться за решёткой.

 

    По результатам выборов и выявленным нарушениям со стороны путинских агентов, вызвавшим у народа Армении особо сильное противление, возможность, что Пашиняну удастся дать стране новую Конституцию вполне вероятна. Новая Конституция устранит пункты, мешавшие налаживанию дружеских отношений с соседними странами, без чего исключено благополучие армянского народа.

Putin and Russia's Sporting Achievements

 

Tank Biathlon

 

As is well known, the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi was Russia's last. Putin's attempt to secure Russia's victory at any cost, using a carefully orchestrated plan to swap athletes' urine with doping, ended disastrously. Russia was banned from all Olympics and other international competitions. Putin, one might say, has completely destroyed sport in Russia. Without competition, there is no sport. It's pointless to talk about sporting achievements without participation in competitions. This is what happened in Russia. Putin, pursuing his political goals, decided to reinforce his victory with sporting achievements, interpreting the Olympic victory as the national superiority of the Russian people, defined by the infamous word "Nazism." Incidentally, Russian Nazism is not much different from German Nazism. (1) Thus, Hitler's propaganda explained the Germans' athletic success at the 1936 Olympics as a dominant superiority over other nations, and not just in sports. However, it should be noted that the Germans won the Berlin Olympics fairly, while the Russians achieved a medal through sheer deception, and even then, they finished behind Norway. I foresaw Putin's intention to attack Ukraine after his planned Olympic victory in an article written four months before the annexation of Crimea:

 

"One thing is clear: Russia will not invade Ukraine before the Sochi Winter Olympics, lest it repeat the failed 1980 Moscow Olympics. Therefore, the Ukrainians must hurry to join the EU before the end of the Sochi Olympics." (2)

 

The international sporting festival – the World Cup – has begun. Russia is not participating in this celebration. Putin has made his country a pariah. The country has been banished from all international competitions due to the shameful urine-swapping scheme. The only competition Putin has organized instead of sports is the tank biathlon.

The following is a series of articles dedicated to Russia's sporting achievements under Putin.

 

Tank Biathlon Instead of the Olympics

 

Due to Russia's shameful exclusion from the Olympics (1, 2), the Kremlin has devised another form of international competition – a military one. From now on, Russians compete in the art of killing. So, instead of Olympic competitions, Russia holds annual world tank competitions, the number of which is off the charts in the country, the so-called "Tank Biathlon." This competition is about who can best use military equipment – ​​tanks, planes, and missiles – to kill people. Not a day goes by without the idiot box showing something about military service or the development of cutting-edge military technology that leaves Western competitors far behind.

 

It seems that Russia produces nothing to improve people's lives, except weapons of murder. While in America, peaceful private companies are successfully launching rockets into space, planning to take tourists to the Moon and Mars, in Russia they're still using space technology from the last century. They don't even dream of reaching the Moon anymore. Meanwhile, militarization and war propaganda are rampant, reminiscent of pre-war Nazi Germany. It's noteworthy that Russia is already preparing young children as cannon fodder for war, dressing them in soldiers' uniforms.

Mutko's Urine as a Symbol of Russian Sport

 

 

 

On December 31, 2018, the ultimatum issued by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Council to ensure access to samples from the Moscow anti-doping laboratory expired, after which Russian athletes will be barred from participating in international competitions. This circumstance clearly points to the state's culpability, represented by then-Minister of Sport Mutko, in the mass doping of Russian athletes with banned substances, which they used to achieve record-breaking results. Moreover, it was discovered that state agencies, including the FSB, were involved in swapping urine samples to conceal the violations. Henceforth, samples containing Mutko's swapped urine are a national treasure and a hallmark of Russian sport. Mutko's urine is a symbol of Russia's sporting achievements.

 

Naturally, without instructions from Putin, who, like Nazi Hitler (1), uses sport for propaganda purposes, Minister Mutko would not have dared to force athletes to use doping. It's also absolutely clear that Putin cannot allow international experts to test the samples stored in the laboratory, otherwise he will face shame. Furthermore, the ultimatum also includes a clause mandating punishment for those responsible for a crime that, by all laws, is nothing less than criminal, which is unacceptable to Putin (2). After all, if the case goes to court, there's no guarantee that Mutko won't crack. That's why, despite Russia's phenomenal achievements at the Sochi Olympics, Putin stripped Mutko of his ministerial post and stripped Russian athletes of their right to participate in international competitions.

The Russian Empire has no place at the Olympics.

 

The Russian Empire was banned from the 2018 Winter Olympics due to doping administered to Russian athletes at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, at Putin's instigation. Their success was intended to boost Russia's international prestige, which had declined with the collapse of the USSR. According to Putin's plan, victory at the Sochi Olympics was supposed to secure his popularity as a caring leader worthy of the people's love and respect. Yes, Putin needed popular support before his planned return of Ukraine to the imperial fold, with the help of his protégé Yanukovych. Incidentally, I warned about this strategic goal of Putin's long before the insidious attack on Ukraine began (1, 2). True, not everything went smoothly: due to the Maidan, the traitor Yanukovych was forced to flee, and instead of all of Ukraine, Putin was left with only Crimea and Donbas. Ukrainian patriots managed to suppress the rebellion in Kharkiv and Odesa. Of course, the Russian people, known for their imperial worldview, favor President Putin, ignoring the fact that lies and evil, which have already become Putin's calling card, are punishable. Everything has a price; that's just the way the world works.

 

And today, Russian athletes are paying the price for deceiving their beloved president. The WADA Committee recommended that the organization's Executive Committee ban Russia from international sporting competitions for four years. The fact is that Russia failed to comply with all the requirements regarding providing data from the Moscow anti-doping laboratory to experts, and the data that was provided turned out to be altered, which was naturally noticed. As a result, as expected, the very status of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) was put at risk. In short, until Russia acknowledges the McLaren report, Russian athletes will not be able to participate in international competitions. In an interview with the BBC, RUSADA head Yuri Ganus unequivocally blamed the authorities for the current situation, saying he knew who was specifically behind the sample swapping. Furthermore, he made it clear he feared for his own life, citing the sudden, simultaneous deaths of perfectly healthy RUSADA officials Sinev and Kamaev, who knew about Putin's interference in sports. (https://www.bbc.com/russian/features-50525144)

 

In short, until Russia acknowledges the McLaren report, Russian athletes cannot participate in international competitions. Putin understands perfectly well that admitting to sample manipulation is tantamount to admitting to a criminal offense committed by himself, because in Russia, no one would dare commit such a large-scale crime without Putin's knowledge. Minister Mutko and the FSB agents involved in the sample swapping are merely executing the will of the President of All Rus'. (3,4)

 

Russia should be excluded from international sporting competitions altogether, as an empire that suppresses the sovereign right of other peoples within the empire, except for the Russians, to compete under their national flags. For example, in the United Kingdom, the Scots and Welsh compete in the World Cup alongside the English, each under their own national flag.

Russia's International Shame

 

It has happened! Justice has finally prevailed. Putin and his Russia have received what they deserved. No country has ever suffered such global shame. The criminal interference in sports by St. Petersburg gangster Putin (1,2) could not go unpunished. For the mass doping of athletes, carried out at the direction of President Putin, and the state's cover-up of criminal manipulation of doping samples, Russia has been suspended from all international sporting competitions for four years. Furthermore, all state officials in charge of sport are banned from attending sporting events. In short, the World Anti-Doping Agency has ruled to isolate Russia for violating sporting regulations and for deceiving Russia as a state. True, Russia had a chance to avoid punishment and spare the fate of its athletes, but only if it admitted guilt. However, this, for obvious reasons, was unavoidable, as Putin's criminal role would inevitably be revealed. In a totalitarian state like Russia, nothing can happen without Putin's knowledge. It is difficult to imagine that Minister Mutko, especially with the involvement of the FSB, could disobey orders from above.

There's only one conclusion to be drawn here: Putin's Russia is a criminal state. Russia's uncovered crimes in sports are just the beginning of a series of more serious crimes, and I wouldn't be surprised if Putin shares Milosevic's fate. It's worth noting that the vast majority of Russians admire how their president, using the laws of Western democracy, brazenly lies, denying his crimes, even though, for example, it's clear without any investigation who shot down the Malaysian Boeing. The Russian people are simply delighted by the blatant lies of the "they-are-not-there," or how the Kremlin maniac gets rid of people undesirable to the regime in such a way that the West is powerless to prove anything. Putin has revived the imperial worldview and Great Russian chauvinism inherent in the Russian people, who had been lost after the collapse of the USSR (3). For Putin's unspoken goal of restoring the empire within the borders of the USSR, the Russian people are willing to endure any hardship, especially exclusion from competitions, even though it's clear that the Russian people are the most...

 

I am certain that Putin is using WADA's decision to fuel anti-Western sentiment among the people and support them in their fight against the enemy encroaching on Russia's sovereignty.

 

Russia is a prehistoric lizard that has survived to this day, and it has no place in the modern world. Ronald Reagan rightly called Russia the Evil Empire, but today Russia can also be called the Empire of Lies (4). Putin has clearly demonstrated that evil and lies go hand in hand.

The Russian Empire in the Olympic Results or Sports and Politics

 

The well-known slogan "sports outside of politics" is true, but not in all cases. In countries with totalitarian regimes, where no public organization, including sports organizations, can function without the participation of the state, this slogan not only fails to work, but, as has been revealed in Russia, it is used to cover up criminal cases initiated by the government itself. Today, the real state of sports in Russia is reflected in the slogan "victory at any cost." And that price has proven high. Due to the use of doping imposed by the highest sports authorities, under the patronage of the FSB, some athletes lost the right to participate in the 2016 Olympics. It is difficult to imagine that Sports Minister Mutko was unaware of the ongoing top-secret operation, for which his department served as a cover. Otherwise, why would the state need it at all?

 

 

Sports Minister Mutko

 

The Ministry of Sports is the conductor of state policy in the sports community. Incidentally, only Russia has a Ministry of Sports; in other countries, at best, a ministry of education or culture has a sports department. I'd like to point out that the doping scandal that erupted just before the Olympics is only just beginning, and its consequences are likely yet to come. In totalitarian Russia, no government official would dare take a single step without Putin's knowledge, so it's entirely logical to assume that athletes were doped on the eve of the 2014 Winter Olympics under President Putin's direct orders. Putin needed to bolster his prestige ahead of Russia's planned military invasion of Ukraine.

 

I'd like to boast: back in 2005, I foresaw Russia's aggression against Georgia and Ukraine in my article "The Terrible Price of Protecting the Rose Revolutions" (1), and in my 2006 article "Whose Crimea Is It?" (2), I directly pointed to Russia's inevitable seizure of Crimea. A year before Russia's attack on Ukraine, in my article "Ukraine – a Victim of the West's Immorality Towards Russia" (3), I wrote:

 

By exploiting the reluctance of Ukraine's large Russian population to live in democracy and separatist sentiments, Putin, under the pretext of protecting their rights, could send troops and split Ukraine, presenting the West with a fait accompli. The main question is how willing the West will be to swallow this bitter pill. Of course, a war won't break out over Ukraine, Putin understands this perfectly well, but what actions, most likely economic in nature, will follow, and are they really so terrifying for Russia? Will the West demonstrate principledness or surrender Ukraine, as it surrendered Chechnya, allowing Putin to brutally persecute the Chechen people? Or will it continue to purchase Russian energy resources, opting for a purely pragmatic approach, ignoring Sakharov's justified words that the most pragmatic approach is a moral one. One thing is clear: Russia will not invade Ukraine before the Sochi Winter Olympics, lest it repeat the failed 1980 Moscow Olympics. Therefore, Ukrainians must hurry to join the EU before the Sochi Olympics.

 

The fact that Russia attacked Ukraine after the Sochi Olympics, and not before, already points to a direct connection between politics and sports in Russia. Previously, due to Russia's backward policies, it was kicked out of the G8. Now it's the athletes' turn. The involvement of Russian athletes in Putin's political ambitions has resulted in personal tragedy for each of them. By banning all Russian track and field athletes from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, Russia has been shown where it belongs. It seems Russia will soon have no place in polite society at all.

 

Now I want to focus on the broader impact of the political situation in the Russian Empire on sports in general.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has never won a Summer Olympics. Moreover, in the last two Olympics, Russia has not finished higher than fourth. The main reason is that a large number of medals were won by the nations of the former Soviet Union, which, with the collapse of the USSR, gained the opportunity to independently participate in international sporting competitions.

 

Table 1: Results of the 2016 Summer Olympics

   Thanks to international sporting competitions, the world learned about the existence of Kazakhs, Turkmens, Tajiks, Georgians, Azerbaijanis, and other peoples, whose athletes were considered Russian abroad during the Soviet era. Even today, athletes from nations that have not yet achieved independence are considered Russian at the Olympics. If the remaining peoples of the Russian Empire—Tatars, Chechens, Kabardians, Dagestanis, and others—achieved independence, then I fear the Russian Empire would not be among the top ten countries at the Olympics.

In the end, I want to say that it's good that after the collapse of the USSR, the peoples of the former Soviet republics gained freedom; otherwise, they wouldn't be participating in international competitions today.
