Russia Finally Stops Sale of Children

According to FoxNews Russia has finally put to an end adoption policies that have been hurting Russian Children for decades.  It took a case of a woman sending an adoptive child back on an airplane alone like spoiled food to prompt an end to polices that have results in detriment and deaths to Russian children.  Russian Children belong with caring Russian parents rather than acting as accessories for immoral Americans who treat them like trash when they get bored.  It is high time that Russia put an end to this!

Russia & America: Not So Different After All

My American friends keep telling me I never say anything positive on this site so I figured I’d do so.

Many Americans and Russians never ponder, thanks to so much cold war era propaganda, the similarities between our two countries.

The symbol of Russia is an eagle, as is the symbol of America.  Both in fact derive from the same source; the symbol of the Roman Empire.

The flag colors of Russia are White, Blue & Red, the same colors which make up the American flag.

Both Russia & America have a long standing commitment to a representative government; The Russian ‘Zemsky Sobor’ Read Full Article [...]

Russia, Belarus, the West, & Market Manipulation

Yesterday morning was interesting.

Numerous media outlets published stories saying that Russia was cutting off oil supplies to Belarus, and thus with it, supplies to markets in West Europe.  These stories were all released around 5-7 AM EST, just in time to panic the US futures markets.

This caused a healthy spike in oil prices hitting almost 82 dollars a barrel.  By 10:30 the press was recanting the story.  No worries all is well!  Belorussian oil refiners say there’s been no stop or slowing of supply, and it looks like an agreement is forthcoming for 2010.

So oil starts to fall back, Read Full Article [...]

Paleo-cons, Neo-Cons, & Dems Unite for New Cold War

By Aleksandr Aleksandrovich

While politicians in America work overtime to try to deflect attention from their embrace of socialism one might thing that parties are divided on all issues.  This would be inaccurate however for one issue has managed to unite all sides from the idealists who supported Ron Paul, to the Neo-Cons who backed McCains attacks on Russia, to Democrats, once again bemoaning murdered journalist as though Vladimir Putin stalks them himself every evening.  Not buying it?  Consider what has come this week.

FoxNews, a leading NeoConservative outlet this week suggested that Russia was defending Nazism, as well as Stalinism Read Full Article [...]

Lord’s Prayer/Our Father

A friend recently asked where to find the Lord’s prayer, as it is called in English, in Russian.  This is a very important prayer in our church, and it is recited during liturgy.  I noticed that very few sites call it this and it can be difficult to search for if you’re not familiar with the Russian language.

Below are both the Russian language and Old Church Slavonic versions:

Russian:

Отче наш, сущий на небесах, да святится имя Твое;

да приидет Царствие Твое; да будет воля Твоя и на земле, как на небе;

хлеб наш насущный дай нам на сей день;

и прости нам долги Read Full Article [...]

Gambling is Wrong But Is it a Right?

Recently Russia decided that Casinos do not have the right to operate anywhere they please, and that as such many would have to close their doors.  Also the Russian Orthodox Church has come out in support of this decision, which is not surprising given that gambling is considered sinful, and these casinos have seduced many Russians into throwing away their lives on the un-Christian culture casinos promote.  Some in the west however have suggested that this is ‘puritan’ in nature, and not the realm of government to decide.  Let’s look at the facts.

Firstly the westerners saying that government shouldn’t Read Full Article [...]

An Observation About the ‘Kremlin’

Watching American television last night I once again was introduced to what I find to be a very strange phenomena.  The show was speaking about the Moscow Kremlin.  The building being called the Kremlin was in fact a very poor model of St Basil’s Cathedral in Red Square (in fact adding Red Stars and Catholic Style crosses to the cupolas in very poor taste; the juxtaposition of soviet and western Christian symbols as well as poor paint job was very difficult to swallow.).  An Architect character in the program called the building displayed ugly (unlikely for any architect of Read Full Article [...]
