Embrace Ukraine, not Putin

Open letter to  Die Welt   newspaper. By a Ukrainian philosopher Volodymyr Yermolenko.

an der Schwelle

Dr. Andrej Zubov Der russische Professor für Geschichte: "Putin hat die Risiken der Krimeroberung nicht berücksichtigt, ähnlich wie Hitler 1938 in Österreich " Die russischen Politiker verwickeln das Volk in ein schreckliches, ein entsetzliches Abenteuer. "Freunde. Wir stehen an der Schwelle. Gemeint ist nicht die Schwelle für den Anschluss eines neuen Subjekts als Bestandteil der Russischen Föderation. Gemeint sind komplette Zerstörung des Systems der internationalen Verträge, der Wirtschaftschaos und die politische Diktatur. Wir stehen an der Schwelle des Krieges gegen das uns nächste, mit uns am engsten verwandte Volk – gegen die Bevölkerung der Ukraine. Wir stehen an der Schwelle einer akuten Verschlechterung der Beziehungen mit Europa und den USA, an der Schwelle eines Kalten oder vielleicht auch sehr Heißen Krieges mit den Kontinenten. Das alles gab es aber schon mal. Denken Sie nur an Österreich. März des Jahres 1938. Die Nazis wollen ihr Reich mit einem an...

Betrayed Russian soldiers

Crisis in Ukraine. Please share. Arkadiy Babchenko March 5, 2014 I'm curious whether Shoigu himself has understood what he did when he repeated Grachev's exploit. In hand-waving terms, the Russian Federation's Minister of Defence has just PUBLICLY RENOUNCED his own soldiers. Exactly like Grachev did it in 1994, when the tank column with Russian military men was burnt in Grozny. And the officers of the Kantemir Division were being captivated. „These are not our soldiers,“ told Grachev then. - These are not our soldiers, claims Shoigu now. It is already eighteen years that I am connected with the army. Meanwhile my conviction „Army will abandon you, sunny. Always“ became certainty. During this period I understood absolutely clearly that this country will send you to fight in Bum Fuck Egypt, will betray you, will sell you and finally will renounce you. I know this fairly well. I experienced this first-hand. Army will leave you, sunny. Always. It has just left it...

Русская оккупация в Украине и Европа

Под лицемерием Путина кроется уязвимость. Вот где его слабые места. Тимоти Снайдер Источник: http://www.newrepublic.com/article/116812/how-europe-should-respond-russian-intervention-ukraine Translation from English Посылая войска в Украину, Россия нарушила международное право, попрала множество соглашений и подготовила почву для европейской войны. У России нет ни одного casus belli, помимо эксцентричного видения внутренней политики соседней страны. Сюрреалистичное развязывание войны Кремлем плохо и, очевидно, требует ответа Европейского Союза, которого, кроме Украины, оно касается в первую очередь. Украина граничит с четырьмя членами Европейского Союза, и ее новое правительство сделало присоединение к ЕС первостепенной задачей своей внешней политики. Российское вторжение в Украину направлено против ЕС, представляющего, как решила Москва, угрозу своим интересам и воистину цивилизационную проблему. Глобальный крестовый поход президента Путина против гомосексуалов ...

Die Wand - The Wall

This is a movie-landscape that was filmed in Austrian Alps. At the beginning it makes one think that it could not appear but in a first world country as it reflects some of the first world's problems that, to an outsider's eye, seem to be false. At the same time, it covers an important theme - not only about 'Traumorte', places one dreams about, but also, in a more general sense, about our human desire that always exсeeds what we have, desire for something more, desire that can never be satisfied: "the accepted reality of mankind, which people can't find, aren't allowed to find, and don't want to find". Any 'topos', any utopia transforms easily, with the touch of a human, into dystopia. Novel . Movie .
