Russia to build 10 emergency services centers in the Arctic 04:08 27/12/2010 The Russian emergencies ministry is planning to build ten centers to monitor the operation and safety of oil and gas pipelines on the Arctic coast. >> Other news of the day The Russian emergencies ministry is planning to build ten centers to monitor the operation and safety of oil and gas pipelines on the Arctic coast, Emergencies Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Monday. "One of the problems in the Arctic is the safety of oil and gas pipelines built on frozen ground. The thaw [in spring and summer] causes deformation of earth layers and, consequently, leads to leaks, ruptures and explosions at pipelines," Shoigu said in an interview with Russia 1 television. "We have decided to build ten centers along the coast in the Arctic," he said. "They will combine meteorological, rescue and even borderguards services — all that is needed to tackle emergency situations." Russia,...

Anti-Russian hysteria in England Tags: World , Russia , England , Sports , World Cup 2018 , 2018/2022 World Cups , Commentary Sergei Saenko 6.12.2010, 15:50 England is threatening to withdraw from FIFA in protest over England not being allowed to host the World Cup Championship in 2018, as Russia was chosen instead. Judging by the British press and declarations made by football public figures, England is very upset over the fact that the 2018 World Cup will not be held on the British Isles. The British media have moved from exposures to outright insults. Abusive materials are published not only by tabloids but also by serious British newspapers, which does not do them credit. First of all, accusations are showered on FIFA and its Executive Committee, because its members dared to vote against England. The British press and some football officials are demonstrating un-gentlemanlike behavior. They are accusing FIFA officials of corruption and demand a reform of this respecta...

How to tell a terrorist from a freedom fighter Tags: Society , terrorism , UN Security Council , World , Commentary Anatoly Kudryavtsev 28.09.2010, 17:00 The UN Security Council returns to the discussion of the "international terrorism" term. So far there is neither a general definition nor a common comprehension of what terrorism and especially international terrorism is. The UN has always had difficulties with this term. During the Cold War, when the world was divided into two camps, every state defined this concept in line with his ideological position and geopolitical interests. In that situation the same persons could be regarded as terrorists in the West and freedom fighters in the Communist camp and vice versa. The end of the Cold War did not bring single-mindedness on this issue. While the US called some people in the Middle East terrorists, they were declared freedom fighters by some developing countries. Dramatic differences in the c...

NATO: regional organization or world policeman? Tags: World , Commentary , Russia , Politics , NATO Maria Chupina 2.10.2010, 20:14 Russia hopes that NATO’s new strategy to be passed in Lisbon in November will provide for collective defenses which stay within the bounds of international law. According to Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko, Russia expects NATO to abstain from taking decisions bypassing the UN Security Council, as it happened before. Moscow hopes NATO’s new strategy to shift emphasis from Article Five of the NATO Charter, which allows for independent decisions beyond the bounds of international law and within the jurisdiction of the UN Security Council. The UN Security Council, the minister says, should have the last say on security matters. Russia and NATO should cooperate within the bounds provided by the Founding Act and the Rome Declaration, which means that peace-keeping operations can be held only by the decision of th...

Iran ready to cooperate with Russia in the Middle East Tags: Middle East , Commentary , Iran , Politics , Russia , World Elizaveta Isakova 29.09.2010, 19:44 Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi, Iran's Ambassador to Russia, spoke with the VoR reporters on Wednesday. Among other things, he stated that Iran is ready to cooperate with Russia on the conflict resolution in Afghanistan and in the Middle East. Russian politicians are currently urging the involvement of Iran in the resolution of regional problems as this may distract the country from its nuclear program. Washington also welcomes the initiative and especially notes Iran's influence in the Gulf. However, experts doubt that nuke-obsessed Iran will agree to be a peacekeeper. Iran is also unlikely to cooperate with the US which is negatively perceived in the country. Still, Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi says Iran is ready to cooperate with Russia on regional security.Iran is not ready to serve a peacekeeping missio...

2008. 04. 10. Ma érdekes látványosságban volt részem. A városunkba költözött egy muszlim házaspár, a gyerekeikkel. 11-en vannak. Nagyon kedves, szerény emberek, libasorban közlekednek az utcán. 2010. 01. 01. B.U.É.K. Jópofa emberek ezek az arabok.. Hat család van a városban, és mindenkire mosolyognak. Egyszer volt csak balhé, amikor bécsi szeletet szerettek volna enni az étteremben, és csak a végén derült ki, hogy nem borjú, hanem disznóhúsból készült. 2012. 03. 15. A szomszéd házat megvette egy család. Ahmed Ibd'n Al Mahmudnak hívják. Vicces ember, mindhárom feleségére zsákot húzott, és azok csak úgy mászkálhatnak az utcán. Vajon mit hordanak a zsák alatt? Még egy zsákot?Tele vannak ezek pénzzel. Pedig nem is dolgoznak. Valami szövetségük van, és egymásnak adnak pénzt. Később meg ők segítik ki az új bevándorlókat. Tetszik ez a szolidaritás... 2015. 10. 28. A másik szomszédunk is muszlim lett. Ők régi magyar család, de valamiért áttértek. Mondjuk Gizi néni elég hülyén néz ki...

Today Piotr Dutkiewicz, professor at Carleton University in Ottawa shared his view on the upcoming event. Interviewer: What issues do you plan to discuss at the forum? Dutkiewicz: There is a plenty of things to discuss at this high-level meeting. First of all that we are not yet out of the last economic crisis. That’s probably one of the most important issues, how the world would look like economically in a few years from now. Secondly, we are in the period where the unipolar world dominated by one country and is almost over. It will take just maybe few years to be broken into the different international order and much more multipolar, if you wish, but probably less stable. So, this is th...

Spiritual birth of the Motherland Tag cloud: Orthodox Church , Society , religion , Commentary , Russia Mikhail Aristov 27.07.2010, 16:10 On July 28th, Russians will for the first time celebrate the recently established Rus Baptism Day. On this day the Russian Orthodox Church also commemorates Saint Prince Vladimir of Kiev who baptized Russia and made Christianity its official religion. The new Russian holiday becomes a good reason for both thinking about our ancestors’ historic choice and considering our own life plan. This is precisely what happened more than a thousand years ago when Grand Prince Vladimir turned to studying basic religions of Europe and Western Asia. He invited wisemen from across the world to Kiev and then sent his own legates abroad to gather information on various confessions. Thus, he got a complete insight into the principal “types of world civilization”, as present-day geopolitical experts would put it. Prince Vladimir,...
