Today I find some details on my post "Have you ever made a snowman?". More than one hundred snowmans in the center of Moskow was a kind flash mob by Slava Polunin 25 of January 2005. You can read report on this in Bolshoy Gorod (Big city).
Today snowmans stayed on the Arbat street again! That's just like a fairy tale. =)

Propaganda - US and USSR
In fact, the distance between Bush administration rhetoric and observable reality in some areas is beginning to look almost reminiscent of Soviet Communism. And as in the Soviet Union, this gap is also becoming more and more apparent to the rest of the world.

I am write about discrepancies in George Bush's foreign politics, yesterday. Now we had it in The International Herald Tribune.
I wouldn't say Bush is right or wrong. I'm just see growing misunderstanding in relationships between Russia and USA.Shy flora and fauna of lake Seliger

Propaganda
An experienced Soviet propaganda journalist had to go through a five-year university course as he needed extraordinary skills in order to have his articles published in Pravda. The most common requisition on "analyzing" international affairs was - (1) take facts about any event in the world, (2) consider conclusions that should always be like, "West is evil and is moving towards its collapse" and (3) construct any number of arguments to prove beyond doubt the inseparable link between (1) and (2).

Konstantin in his Russian Blog explores propaganda in United States. In his detailed review of article by Anthony Robinson he finds a lot of discrepancies clearly visible inside Russia. That's very sad to see official position about Russia in major mass-media, looking absolutely similar Soviet propaganda 30 years ago.

Bloggers about Russia
There is some fresh positive:
I really loved Russia and I have a strong desire to go back. I dont think God would give me this passion if He didnt want to do something with it. When I first got to Russia, I thought it would be a one time trip and I could do something cool for God and say I've been there and done that, but thats not what happened. I fell in love with the people of Russia and I wanted to go back again, even before I had left!

That's why I love Russia--that and all the crazy things related to their vodka-induced stupors.

Time in Russia was great. We were there during a very cold week of the coldest winter they have had in about 30 years, but that was actually kind of fun (I'm kind of sick, I know).

and negative opinions:
I'm shocked, shocked to read this morning that Russia caught British intelligence hiding a listening device under a fake rock!

After the fall of the communist menace, Russia has embraced racism and nationalism, and being of a racial minority (especially of African descent) is now very dangerous in Russia.

Total score is 66%(+) vs. 34%(-). Thanks for trust!
Energy empire
Russia has staked out plans to recapture its Soviet-era space-race glory and start mining the Moon for a promising energy resource that scientists say could meet the Earth's power needs for more than a thousand years.
Nikolai Sevastyanov, head of Russia's giant Energia Space Corporation, has unveiled plans to build a permanent base on the Moon within a decade and to start mining the planet for helium 3, a sought-after isotope, by 2020.

As for me, I support any space projects, because it unites people. Good luck.
