Hi, PETER COGGON! How are you?

AK>> While they are buying Russian oil at high price they are not very bad.
AK>> ;)

PC>   Well that is a plus for Russia!  Just don't leave Russia short of
PC> oil for their own usage.

It seems to we that in the wake of campaign for the world cooling (from El
Nino ;)  a very interesting solution was worked out. They want to provoke
sharp increase in oil prices, and to limit in such a way the using of
petrol. So
it is a fairy tale, that oil became more expensive because of modern
technology. This question will be decided by the people who have a lot of
property at the coast. They skilfully will make panic in oil market and the
prices will sky-rocket. The war with Iran can also will be in the nick of
time.
As the Russian government wants to keep prices on petrol in Russia at the
world level we also are going to ride bicycles. ;-)

AK>> Even a miracle has happened when Irish cricket team bit Pakistan. ;)

PC>    Yes, but regretably, a coach died.  I saw on the TV the Pakistanie
PC> fans going nuts, protesting.   They may be good, but sooner or later
PC> the world catches up to the best, and upsets happen.

Some people who spend life in gaming hate surprises. They easily could kill
the coach as if he was a fly. Such people rule sport, and that is why I
hate the professional sport.

AK>> In Russia when we are speaking about the USSR we think first of all of
AK>> 'the union'. Is 'a union' also the feminine gender? I wonder. ;)

PC>    In those Hollywood movies, they seem to depict Russians calling
PC> their homeland, the motherland.   I have heard it from relatives
PC> calling their homeland, the old country.   I guess by calling it the
PC> motherland it is to honour how in years passed, they have been blessed
PC> with food from the soil, materials and keep warm.   Just like mum...

But is well known that the main word in the abbreviation of 'USSR' is 'the
Union'. The Union of ... So when we speak of the USSR it seems to me more
correct to think of the masculine gender. And of course Russia (my mother is
Russia as we sing in our songs) belongs to the feminine gender.

AK>>> to translate some books from Russian to English even if I am just an
AK>>> amateur. Learning the language is a quite captivating and useful
AK>>> thing. It is as an artificial respiration for brains, when in the
AK>>> vicinity there are no other tasks.

PC>     There is so much that Russia can give the world, and also the world
PC> to Russia to get to a better understanding, and one area is what you
PC> are doing translating books.   I have met people doing as you are,
PC> right or wrong, who did what...all is being translated, and then it
PC> is left to history the truth...and we all must live with the good
PC> and bad of our history.   I would sooner know this, then life a lie,
PC> or a censored book of history painting my country as being squeaky
PC> clean which I have found lately it is not.

The most bad thing is that very often people believe propaganda instead of
making their own judgements.
