| From Russia, with recipes. | | 2008-05-26 15:25:00 | | May 27 ... Cookery is a constantly evolving and adapting art and science, and it can be difficult if not impossible to determine the roots of many dishes – even the fiercely national ones. Most dishes are like mongrel dogs, with a little bit of a lot of influence. Often the Anglicised names of dishes are a clue. There must be twenty different spellings of ‘pilau’ in old English cookbooks, for example. Sometimes a recipe would simply be designated ‘in the Spanish style’, or ‘the French way’, or ‘Italian fashion’. By the nineteenth century, a few cookbooks started to appear that proudly demonstrated and promoted ‘foreign’ food. A ‘coulibiac’ is, according to the OED ‘A Russian pie of fish or meat, cabbage, etc.’ The cabbage appears again, I see – which is ironic as this post arose out of my need to balance Pushkin’s ‘national monotonous diet’ idea. Here are a couple of ‘Russian pies’ à la English-language cookbooks - one simply na | | By: The Old Foodie | | |

The past President's old KGB Soviet mentality is returning to the fore of his public psyche and this may just explain his decision earlier this year, to display Russia’s heavy weapons in May for a Soviet-style Victory Day parade in Red Square.Soviet parades of this type were an important feature of cold war mentality and once again in 2008 tanks and missiles will rolled out for the world to see. The authorities had promised to include the very latest weaponry including T-90 tanks and Topol-M long-range ballistic missiles.Putin insisted that the parade was not meant as a saber rattling exercise:"The outgoing Russian leader said that Friday's parade to mark the end of World War II would demonstrate Russia's growing defense capabilities.

| News: Russia - Elections rigged. Zimbabwe - Elections to be rigged. | | 2008-04-22 16:38:28 | | From Russia with fraud.Ahead of last month's presidential election in Russia there was widespread suspicion the poll was fixed in advance. Last week, physicist and computer expert Sergei Shpilkin posted his analysis of the official results, showing some strange anamolies: a disproportionate number of polling stations returned round numbers - numbers ending in a zero or a five - for both voter turnout and Medvedev's percentage share.His conclusion: local election officials had been told in advance what percentages to "deliver" for Medvedev, Putin's handpicked successor, and for how many people needed to "vote". (Full)Zimbabwe's Mugabe follows the 2000 Florida example:"Recount until we get what we want!"Zimbabwe’s election officials, at the government’s behest, began a partial recount on Saturday of the disputed presidential election results, while a human rights group accused members of the ruling party of running “torture camps” to punish opposition supporters.Opposition leader | | By: The Road to the Horizon | | |

| Putin Has Only Isolated Russia Further | | 2008-04-07 18:56:01 | | Eftychis has an interesting post over at New School Politics on Putin's inability to alter the international system. He has many great points, but there's one in particular I thought was very interesting:Russia under Putin has in fact moved backwards from the proactive involvement of Yeltsin in the 1990’s. Yeltsin gained Russia G8 membership and even tried to move it closer to NATO, whereas Putin has attempted to juxtapose Russia as a competitor to NATO. Putin’s practices have only increased the isolation of Russia, had he not embarked in seven years of extreme nationalistic policies, it is likely that rising oil prices and globalization would have carried Russia much further than where it is today.

| Russia according to Vladimir Putin | | 2008-03-22 04:44:00 | | "Russia demands more respect from and equality with Washington and a free hand in world politics. In key respects, Moscow’s new foreign policy grows out of the logic of its ever more autocratic and neo-imperial political structure.” Two Thousand and Seven was the year that the Russians once again growled for attention. Like a bear returning from a long sleep after nearly two long decades, it first attracted this author’s attention in June with Putin using some stiff language while addressing Bush over the U.S. missile defense shield in Eastern Europe. Not long after, the Russians engaged in some in some good old-fashioned saber rattling by resuming the Soviet-era practice of sending strategic bombers on long-range flights well beyond its borders. By October, Putin was cozying up with an old foe in Iran; proving that although Russia's relationship with its southern Persian neighbor has been rocky, both nations share a common passion, distrust for the west and the United States in | | By: American Interests | | |

Neither region is recognized by any country internationally. Both regions have strong economic and political connections with Russia, and Russia has peacekeeping troops in both regions. In other words, Russia has a lot of leverage in these two areas.Russian MPs voted unanimously yesterday to urge the Kremlin to recognize the two regions as independent if Georgia succeeds in its goal to join NATO. Russia has already decided to send more peacekeepers to both breakaway states.Why is Russia being provocative?There are four main reasons Russia flaunting its influence and being confrontational:• Possible NATO membership for Georgia and Ukraine• Kosovar independence• American approval of new shipments of arms to Kosovo• The European missile shieldThe first impetus for Russia’s actions is the same impetus for | | By: Thoughts on the World | | |

Meanwhile, foreign companies will face increasingly tough conditions in their bids for Russian resources. According to newspaper Kommersant, amendments in the law on subsoil resources will come into force already in the course of this year. They must be seen as preparations for a more extensive law on foreigners’ access to Russian strategic sectors, to be discussed by the State Duma this March and come into force on 1 January 2009. It is clear that the new law will impose considerable restrictions on foreigners’ participation in companies engaged in strategic sectors. In addition, the law will also extend the list of strategic sectors.

Why the change in the position?Recent eventsDid any recent events provoke Russi into making this move?• Kosovo independence (and Russia’s inability to prevent it)?• Upcoming Russian elections?• The recently released IAEA Iran report (which eased some pressure on Iran)?None of these events seem a likely impetus for Russia’s actions, for mostly obvious reasons:• Why would Russia want another geopolitical loss after Kosovo?• Putin is expected to stay in power in elections anyway.• The IAEA report made Iran look like the good guy.Another possibilityIt is quite possible the White House made a deal with Russia and Putin to move forward with sanctions.

Russia was weak, and the citizens of Russia didn’t like it. They had been the strongest nation on Earth, in power with the United States, for 50 years. And they wanted that prestige and influence back. Russia was sliding down a nasty slope.So along c | | By: Thoughts on the World | | |
