Vladimir Palputin?

Russian Parliament Duma today has approved presidential terms in Russia from 2 terms(1 term-4 years) into 3 terms.Before this,the Presidential Limitation Act has protect Russia from fall into dictatorism based on Stalin leadership.After Cold War ended,Russia supposed to be democratic country,instead Vladimir Putin,ex-President,now Prime Minister has rules Russian with his iron fist.

He seems like Palpatine in Star Wars character,did I told you that earlier?

With Barack Obama will be the next US President this January,Putin has been seen by some Russian as a leader that bring Russian glory back when it was Soviet Union.

Can Obama deal with this Palputin?Would it Russia finally underlines United States under passive Barack Obama?

We shall see this.Another Cold War in making.

Medvedev or Putin in Russian Power?

"The force is strong with you,my young Medvedev.."

War of South Ossetia 2008,Georgian army 37,000,Russian:100,000 .


Vladimir Putin no nonsense economic agenda.


Medvedev?Why you're behind of Putin?



The Sith in reality life.Vader Medvedev and Sidious Putin.

Well,honestly,I love Russia.It's a vast country,the biggest country in the world,diverse ethnic,east to west covers 7,000 kilometres,joining Canada and United States in single state.I was in St Petersburg last June,and I'm impressed with great history,architecture and unique political situation,after Soviet collapse.

Seriously,I like Vladimir Putin.Very much.He is always bold,influncing,confident,never talk rubbish and most of all,he is the only one who can snub Bush with his own power,he was the one who building Russia from ashes and ruins of Soviet perestroika failure,and according to Russians that I met,they told me that Russia will rise--again.

Vladimir Putin is a very tough guy to handle.I think he is a great example of sexy politics,he's the one,he will tackle each and every issues,either domestic or international affairs,like Gary Caldwell,Nemanja Vidic or Martin Skrtel football defensive tackle--no nonsense.With his father who has history as a sabotage group in KGB,he is really thick blood of his father.Looking the way he's tackled Moscow theatre hostage,Beslan school hostage,Dagestan and Chechnya,he is proven--cold blood,yet effective in the way he's dealing crisis.He is the one who bring Russian economy to glory(charts in picture) and of course,it shows a sign,either you're inside or outside Russia,do not mess with Vladimir Putin.

Of course he is not an icon for liberalist like me.He is definite dictator--no doubt,that's for sure.But looking on his determination and vision,what the hell next we don't even know.The Caucasian areas,which problematique with disputes and skirmishes of war,are now turns bigger.Georgia,is the next victim.An attempt to wipe off Georgia from map,and of course,an order from Russian President,Dmitry Medvedev.But is that Medvedev really,really in power?

Medvedev,he is more like Darth Vader of Putin,the Emperor Palpatine.Medvedev maybe President of Russia,but Vladimir Putin,indeed influenced him,a lot.Electing Putin as Prime Minister is showing that who is actually incharged in Kremlin.

I always hate dictators.Naah,not really.Who saying that?I like Palpatine,I like evil genius.Like Palpatine,Putin are definitely Palpatine in reality life,in Russia especially.I prefered evil genius than honest dumbass.

People like Putin or Mahathir,or Hitler,or Stalin,or Lee Kuan Yew are the people who lives with thoughts of mass destruction,i really seeing them like a predator,staring,manipulating,it's so sexy in politics.

By the time I wrote this blog,it might hurt my fellow Georgian friends,who was already been tarnished by unsettled wars,I'm not writting this particular blog to support Vladimir Putin act to attack Georgia.I just want to say,like a foodchain system,the bigger will eat the small.Medvedev?Who is Dmitry Medvedev anyway?

This war are actually heading to US who trying to be dominant in this disputable area,and a warning of Putin to US "This is what you'll get,when you mess with us."(Karma Police) statement.

By the time I wrote this blog,I pay my tribute to all 20,000 victims of this war and pray them for their safety.I like Putin,but don't support this war.I adored Putin's leadership,but not his black of soul.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn(1918-2008).

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a Russian poet,dramatist,novelist,and artist,notably with his work that awares the world about Gulag,a Soviet Union labour camp system.He received Nobel Prize in Literature in 1970,and exiled from Soviet Union in 1974.

He was born in Caucasus region of Kislodovsk,with humble beginning as peasant in mountainous region.Solzhenitsyn then studied mathematics in Rostov State University,and in the same time correspondent course in Moscow Institute of Philosophy.

During World War II, he served as the commander of an artillery unit in the Red Army,and February 1945 was his worst memories ever.He was arrested while serving at East Prussia,for derogatory comments about Josef Stalin.He was accused in Article 58 of Soviet Criminal code,and served in eight years in labour camp.

From March 1953, Solzhenitsyn began a sentence of internal exile for life at Kok-Terek in southern Kazakhstan. His undiagnosed cancer spread, until, by the end of the year, he was close to death. However, in 1954, he was permitted to be treated in a hospital in Tashkent, where he was cured.

Solzhenitsyn gradually turned into a philosophically-minded man in prison. He repented for what he did as a Red Army captain and in prison compared himself with the perpetrators of the Gulag ("I remember myself in my captain's shoulder boards and the forward march of my battery through East Prussia, enshrouded in fire, and I say: 'So were we any better?'") His transformation is described at some length in the fourth part of The Gulag Archipelago ("The Soul and Barbed Wire").

In 1970, Solzhenitsyn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He could not receive the prize personally in Stockholm at that time, since he was afraid he would not be let back into the Soviet Union. Instead, it was suggested he should receive the prize in a special ceremony at the Swedish embassy in Moscow. The Swedish government refused to accept this solution, since such a ceremony and the ensuing media coverage might upset the Soviet Union and damage Sweden's relations to the superpower. Instead, Solzhenitsyn received his prize at the 1974 ceremony after he had been deported from the Soviet Union.

The Gulag Archipelago was a three-volume work on the Soviet prison camp system. It was based upon Solzhenitsyn's own experience as well as the testimony of 227 former prisoners and Solzhenitsyn's own research into the history of the penal system. It discussed the system's origins from the very founding of the Communist regime, with Lenin himself having responsibility, detailing interrogation procedures, prisoner transports, prison camp culture, prisoner uprisings and revolts, and the practice of internal exile. The appearance of the book in the West put the word gulag into the Western political vocabulary and guaranteed swift retribution from the Soviet authorities.

Only in 1994,his Russian nationality has been restored,Solzhenitsyn with his wife Natalia return to Russia,and live in his dacha until the day he died.
