Twelve reasons why Russia sucks

February 12, 2024. I am an American lawyer who defected to Moscow Russia unsuccessfully in 2015, then again in 2018. I stay here because my hatred of American foreign policy is absolute. Since the fall of the USSR the United States has killed over a million people worldwide and now has 800 military bases.

I love Russia and so much and the Russian people, but collectively they are invasion of the body snatcher aliens with a beautiful “Potemkin village” face. Big cities show the best face and the worst excesses of any country. Moscow, where 80% of the economy goes through, is a cutthroat beautiful wild east with cell phones. Expats migrate here for opportunity. Especially after Covid-19 and the great worldwide immigrant purges, only the hardiest, bravest, or in my case, patriotic, Americans stay in Russia. -- Travis Lee Bailey, Esq., MSoc, MPol.

James Sunderland - June 9, 2018

Here is a self-pity parade of a guy who cannot but think how unfair it is that every child on this planet plays a cruel lottery upon birth. Something very similar to be born deaf-mute, or blind, or unable to experience anything else that is a regular part of “ordinary” people’ existence.

Sigh.

“To know one country is to know none" - Seymour Martin Lipset, Sociologist

The French have a saying, “Quand on connait sa maladie, on est à moitié guéri”—“When you know your sickness, you are halfway cured.”

"No, I'm not a pessimist. At some point the world shits on everybody. Pretending it ain't shit makes you an idiot, not an optimist."[1]

Poverty

As a tourist, you would probably visit the “northern capital” of Russia — Saint Petersburg. Founded by Peter the Great, this former capital of the Russian Empire is indeed a sight to behold. Wandering among the gold-plated halls of famous art galleries, stone Griffins with golden wings, and marble Atlases that uphold the roof of the New Hermitage, one can get an impression of a truly European country with a proud history and strong economy to uphold this beauty.

Those who come to Moscow will also have a similar impression thanks to fascinating churches and galleries, the Moscow City district, and the amount of Bentleys, Lamborghinies, Ferraries and Teslas revving on the streets.

I understand those who are fooled by these two cities, I really do. But here’s the truth — the rest of russian cities look like this.

Chelyabinsk

Ugly human anthills patched together into one depressing tohubohu, mud and holes instead of the roads, and the gray color — oh, this never-ending gray color that paints everything from houses and dead trees to frowned faces around you.

Velikij Ustug

For the last few years I’ve been living in Tula — this is the capital city of the Tula State, something like Austin in Texas or Sacramento in California. What if I tell you that this state capital and the place from the photo below, with crooked wooden barracks half-swallowed by the Earth itself, are in fact the same city? What an awesome opportunity to visit not just the country, but the living XVII century as well.

The central district of Tula, Boldina street

If now you are thinking I’m showing you the ruins of the suburbs and abandoned “ghost cities” of the USSR era — unfortunately, no. Brace yourselves, the pictures below are taken in Voronezh, a city with more than a million of citizens, a capital of the Voronezh State.


These photos were taken by a famous russian blogger Ilya Varlamov, you can see more in this LiveJournal post of his.

Now, let me get this straight — my goal here is to show you the dark side of a Moon, to confront the veneer of a prosperous and powerful country with the ghastliness of a daily life. For this sake, I may be exaggerating things — of course, such horrifying conditions are not that often in Russian cities. But neither they are rare. Seeing these pictures comes with no surprise to a regular Russian, we all accept the possibility of someone living in similar houses just down the street.

If you’re wondering what makes Russian cities (and — God have mercy on me— villages, I don’t even dare to post any photos of them) look like living illustrations for the “shithole” dictionary entry, the poverty must be among the major reasons for that. According to the most optimistic reports, the average salary in Russian cities (apart from Moscow and Saint Petersburg) is 20,000–40,000 rubles a month. That is $330–660, less than $8000 a year. Sometimes more, if you served in military and were engaged into local conflicts, or were employed by wealthy oil company. But most of the time, much less.

After 45 years of busting her ass as a nurse, my retired grandmother receives a pension of $210 a month. Imagine you make $2520 a year and ask yourselves, whether the photos above still seem unbelievable to you.

This all-embracing Russian poverty is everywhere: in people’s houses, clothes, the cars they drive, the food they eat, the entertainments they have. Every May, Russia celebrates the beginning of the barbecue season, “shashlyk”. Ask a Russian if (s)he loves shashlyk and most probably a smile will slowly cover his\her face. Hell yeah! However, this barbecue is somewhat different from what you’re probably imagining now. A “shashlyk” is basically a group of people sitting in the nearest forest (or right in the yard behind their home) in a pile of trash, grilling cheap meat and consuming tons of cheap alcohol, leaving burnt grass, coal, shattered glass, and plastic bottles behind them. This disgusting view is a music to a Russian ear, the fairly earned right to relax!

Happy holidays!

Every time you are tricked into thinking that Russia is a powerful and wealthy country, remember these pictures and laugh from your belly.

Obedience

If I had to pick one definitive feature of a Russian person that separates us from the “western people”, I’d choose obedience. Submission. And nope, I’m not talking about BDSM practices here.

Throughout the history, Russians had a very special relationship with people who wield power. Tzars and emperors were referred to as “The Lord’s Anointed”, the one who reigns by the divine right, and their power was believed to be sacred. Much like in the ancient Egypt, except for the fact that it was happening 4500 years later. When the Soviets were formed, this sacred monarchy was replaced by the religious communist cult — instead of the Lord’s Anointed ones we got the Bearers of the Great Lenin and Marx Ideology — a change of decorations, but not the idea behind. …As a result of this unhealthy relationship with the government, the regular Russian person is born with a rare genetic malfunction: an inborn submission to any authority — a president, a senator, a mayor, a cop, a boss, a landlord, you name it. Most importantly, to G-men.

Jozeph Stalin, one of the bloodiest tyrants ever born, has ordered millions of people shot or sent for years into concentration camps also known as GULAGs. Those few who are old enough to remember 1930-s, talk about a vivid memory of being constantly afraid. In the dark hours, people were waking up from the quiet squeals of car brakes in their yards — they knew who that was.

The black “Voronok” — the signature NKVD vehicle used to transport prisoners

Paralyzed, they would lay still in their beds listening to the NKVD officers’ steps, praying the executioners were not after them.

“You are under arrest”.

No one asked what exactly they were charged with. No one tried to fight back. Because it didn’t matter. It could be your neighbor who said you secretly listen to jazz music at nights. It could be your employee who did not receive a raise the previous month and claimed you are a British spy. It could even be an arrest with for reason at all, just because NKVD received orders to arrest 500 people in this area by the end of a month. It didn’t matter. People would silently go into those black cars without knowing if they ever going to see their families again.

Could you imagine something like that happening in France? Or Spain? Or U.S.? The entire nation is aware that the people are being enslaved and murdered by their own government, and still they praise the Party, the Leader, and silently march into their graves. And if you think those times are gone, you are wrong again.

Here’s South Korea — the riots booming in 2017 as the nation learned the President Park Geun-hye faces charges in bribery and influence peddling. ….

What’s the difference?

South Koreans kept protesting until the corrupted president got arrested and, later, sentenced to 24 years in prison. Russian “protest” lasted for a few hours.

Dozens of people beaten with police batons, hundreds arrested. The next day the country lives its ordinary life as nothing ever happened (probably, because nothing happened indeed). People head to their workplaces and talk to each other during the lunch break. Very few bring up the yesterday protests, and even when they do, everyone smiles. They all know it’s useless. Because THEY have always been stealing from US. And THEY always will be. WE know that and WE accept it.

This “WE versus THEY” metaphor is essential for understanding the Russian mentality. The “people” and “authorities” (any authorities, not just the government alone) both do everything they can to alienate themselves from the opposite party. This reminds me of the Indian caste social stratification system. If you are one of the “people”, you accept your poor status. This comes with understanding that THEY can do whatever they want — steal from you, send you to die for Assad in Syria, stick a broom into your arse or break your spine with a chair in a police station… Or mock your worst tragedy.

In March 2018, the fire in the Kemerovo “Winter Cherry” trade center killed nearly 70 people, the tragedy which inflamed minor protests against the fatal negligence of the town administration. During one these protests, the vice-senator Sergey Tsivilev said to the face of a man, who had lost a wife, a sister, and three kids to the fire, that he came on stage with his speech to “feed on this hot topic”. And the grieving father has swallowed that.

In Russia, the “government” is thought to be a separate, almost miraculous entity, something entirely different from the people. Ordinary citizens do not consider themselves as a part of the country, only as expendables. Keep that in mind while you read the rest of the article, this magic formula can solve a lot of your riddles.

Indifference

In her “The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a Fuck” best-seller, Sarah Knight describes a “fuck budget” everyone has. Whenever you do something that requires your time or energy, you spend some of the “fuck bucks” from this budget. The life-changing magic itself is to understand that your budget is limited and stop wasting “fuck bucks” on irrelevant things. Well, if Russians are poor financially, at least they are “fuck bucks” millionaires, since “not giving a fuck” is another common Russian treat.

I’ve already mentioned not giving a hoot about massive corruptions and the fact that everyone, from the President to a local judge, steals budget money. In the end, people who consider themselves as expendables, not citizens of their country, have a moral right to have no responsibility for it, or a desire to change the course.

we don’t riot against this neo-monarchy — what’s for? Another one will come place and start stealing, what’s the difference?....Truly, this country does terrible things to your mind.

But the indifference stretches far beyond the politics. Russians don’t give a shit about how the city looks. Every elevator, every house is covered with penis drawings (or its textual representation, the branded Russian “hyi” word), gum, and piss (the later is even laughed upon, in the figure below people ask the symbol of “goddamn Americans”, President Obama, to stop pissing in their elevator — a local humor, don’t ask me to explain).

Most benches near the apartment entrances are broken. Doors are covered with ads. Light bulbs are broken or stolen. Patches of different paint — signs of feeble repairs attempts — cover dirty walls that lose their plaster skin.

Dog shit covers every yard and most of the playgrounds. Dog owners and their our own kids cannot walk more than 30 steps without stepping into another pile, but no one cares and (almost) no one cleans after their dogs.

Why? To quote a well-known Russian designer Artemy Lebedev, we all have our “comfort zones”, but if civilized people’ comfort zone includes the streets they walk, the parks they visit, the cities they live in, and the countries they inhabit, a comfort zone of a Russian ends at his doorsteps. Everything outside my apartment does not belong to me, hence I don’t give a shit about it.

And for those who dare to upset the established order of not caring, we have a perfect and constantly used reply: “Tebe bolshe vseh nado?”, which means “are you the one who cares the most?” Indeed, are you the one who stepped more than anyone into dog shit? We all do, buddy, shut up. We all live in these ugly homes, who gave you the right to be offended with this sight more than we are? Bite the bullet and keep your mouth shut, just like we do. And believe it or not, that works as a charm — most anyone instantly chills and backs out.

You don’t want to be the one who cares a little bit more than everyone around you does. And even if you do, “Odin v pole ne voin” — “One man, no man”.

The high noon of this herd morale is pictured in the critically acclaimed 2014 movie “The Fool” by Alexander Bykov: a regular service guy finds out that the house with 860 people inside is about to collapse because of a giant crack in the wall. Rushing into the restaurant, where the mayor happens to celebrate her birthday, he alerts everyone about the upcoming tragedy, which is about to happen because of the tragic negligence, bureaucracy and the fact that most of the city budget has been systematically stolen by the government pen-pushers throughout years. The good civil servants quickly come to understanding that they won’t be able to cover this story up, and they are much more comfortable with burying everyone alive under the ruins and blaming a couple of fall guys in the office, rather than evacuate that “living trash”. Desperate, the movie antagonist runs back to the falling building and starts banging into doors, shouting about the emergency and rushing everyone to get outside… where he eventually gets killed by the mob, angry at the guy who has forced them leave their cozy wormholes. A fiction movie, yes, but for everyone who’s lived here long enough it looks more like a terrifying prophecy, a dark omen of what is to come, a reminder for those who want to change the way the things work here.

“Chelovek cheloveky volk” — “We are wolves to each other”

The degree to which Russians don’t give a shit about the people around is frightening. A few years ago the Russian media was covering a story about a university teacher that had a heart attack and collapsed on a street in Saint-Petersburg. He lied down covered with snow for two hours and eventually died. No one approached him. “Huh, probably another alcoholic had too much for today, that’s not my business”. This specific case took place several years ago, but such tragic events happen every week.

The guy in the video pretends he suffers from a sudden pain in his stomach — watch how “fast” the help comes

The emergency medical info available from the locked iPhone screen, bracelets for diabetics that warn people about the wearer’s condition in case (s)he suddenly collapses — none of precautions make sense here in Russia, because should anything happen to you, the first one who approaches you would probably be a city worker who came to collect your body. But at least our “fuck budgets” are always topped, right?

The War

World War 2 (WWII) or the "Great Patriotic War) as it is called in Russia, is an event that keeps shaping and molding the modern Russia even 80 years after it ended.

The nation that lost over 30 million people killed directly at war, — not counting millions executed in Gulags by the Soviet government — celebrates the 9th of May as a demonstration of an endless power.

Occasionally, someone tries speaking about the 9th of May as a day of grief, a day to remember the terrible price we’ve payed, a day to respect the dead. Every year I see humble attempts to focus people’s attention on those few who actually participated in the Great War, who now live their last days abandoned by everyone, starving and unable to pay their utilities or buy their medicine. But those words are lost in the maddening joy and immeasurable pride of the “grateful sons”.

This is a day of massive celebration, very close to the New Year in terms of joy and involvement. By “celebration” many Russians mean drinking themselves half-dead (“for the Horde… ugh, veterans!”) and beating someone’s face to a pulp…

…or simply enjoying cat food (seriously) as a digestive

This is the day when car owners proudly ride with “We can repeat!” stickers on the rear car windshields. These stickers illustrate USSR dog-fucking the Nazi Germany and imply same will happen to our modern foes.

This is the day when people decorate everything — from bags and t-shirts to vodka bottles in shops with black-and-orange stripes, the “Georgy ribbon”, an official symbol of the victory.

Funnily enough, the St.George medal was never assigned to anyone during the war. This medal originates from the older times of the Russian Empire. For that reason, the black-and-orange ribbon was popular among the RLA (Russian Liberation Army) of General Vlasov — the famous “traitor” that has surrendered the entire army to Nazis and fought on the Reich’s side against the Soviet Union. Modern day patriots that preach the importance of remembering our history hail the Nazi symbol — quite peculiar, isn’t it? Did I already mention that Russians don’t give a shit about anything? This certainly applies to war symbols as well.

Enemies

There’s a perfect reason why Russia gladly cultivates the myth about the glorious victory — this ideology braces people in the face of the external threat, namely, the “goddamn America”. And the entire world with it, for that matter.

The war is not over. THEY (oh, this magical word again) are plotting to destroy our land, to take away our resources and treasures! Hitler ideas are still alive, only this time our western foes use economics instead of foot soldiers and cluster bombs.

If you ask a North Korean about the world outside, (s)he will probably be very honest in saying that Korea is surrounded by enemies and in front of the western capitalistic plague this proud little country stands strong as the last refuge for hope. Propaganda is known to be able to turn people into zombies, and it’s no surprise the modern day Russia swarms with brain-dead puppets who believe the same crap. …Our masters still ride luxurious cars and send their children to London and New York, while the regular people become the real target for those sanctions. Which doesn’t bother them much because first, that’s an evil plan by our enemies who are destined to fail, we just need to hold on a little longer, and secondly, hey we don’t give our “fuck bucks” away, remember?

Another interesting point to be made is that despite a very evident urge to secure their place in the sun through armed conflicts, Russians bear a wide-eyed confidence that Russia is a country that during its entire history has never started a war, only was a target of the hostile aggression from our neighbors. Well, ahem, don’t get mad: despite the fact that 53 out of 75 armed conflicts that took place since the middle of the XVI century were actually initiated by Russian Empire\USSR\Russia, our people prefer the good ol’ “from lip to lip” way to share the knowledge about the world, rather than using Google and their own heads.

In her memoirs, Elena Bonner, a wife of the Soviet nuclear bomb’s father and a Nobel peace prize laureate Andrey Sakharov, shared a memory of a dialog she had in a taxi cab, somewhere around 1971:

— (taxi driver) …that happened the same year the Czechs attacked us.

— Sorry?

— Well, Czechs… They attacked us in Prague, remember?

Laws

As I have said before, the total obedience to any government requests is a very common Russian trait. However, — surprisingly or not, — this is somehow mixed with a total outlawry. As another Russian proverb states (I’m gonna reference quite some of these throughout the article):

“The idiocy of Russian laws is offset by their poor enforcement”.

In a way, the total government corruption can be linked to the same philosophy of a total law denial. The difference is only in the caliber of a law you are allowed to disregard. “Small people” commit smaller crimes, — smoke in elevators and public transport, park their cars on the lawns, occupy parking lots arranged for disabled people, drive the wrong side of a road, cell alcohol and tobacco to teenagers, etc. — but they do it regularly. I doubt you can have a 20-minute walk without witnessing someone violating a law.

Jaywalking — check. Slaloming between moving vehicles— check. Police car driving the wrong way — check. The second pedestrian not giving a shit about a girl hit — check. Lifting a person with possible fractures after a car impact — check.

The most far-fetching iniquity that has been poisoning this poor country for years is, probably, the bribery. Though many researches point out that bribery — or, to be more specific, the tradition to give and receive “gifts” — is very common to most Asian countries (which is the reason for some very harsh punishments in, for instance, China: you don’t fight the plague with just procedure masks, sometimes you need to bring a flamethrower), many link the rise of this all-consuming crime to the times of the General Secretary of the Communist Party Leonid Brezhnev. They say, the dangerous mixture of bribery and a necessity to have a pull in every department was born exactly in Brezhnev’s days. But as a person who has lived here long enough, I personally do not care when or why did it start: all I care is how long will it last.

My first speculation of this venom that poisons my country happened when I was somewhat about 14. I suddenly started wondering why Mom takes a box of chocolates every time I catch a cold and need to see a doctor. Up until that time, I was considering such things as a simple gratitude. Kids’ parents buy presents for teachers in schools, patients take gifts to doctors, your relatives gift something to nurses that look after you in case you get hospitalized. Everything looked like a gratitude indeed — up until I realized this is a requirement rather your own good will.

Another Russian proverb: “Ne podmazhesh — ne poedesh”. Means “if you don’t grease the wheels, the cart won’t go”. And boy, do you need the grease when living in this country…

A gift to a doctor is not just a gratitude, it’s the assurance that (s)he will pay enough attention to your health issues. Same with nurses, if you want them to change bed and clean urinals after your severely ill relative — you need to be extra “grateful” to them. The fact that all these people must do that for free because that is their direct job and they are getting paid for it is totally ignored.

This becomes more of a problem when that is not exactly your wish to pay. Cops camp the roads hiding in the bushes to catch red-handed excessive speeding drivers and those who ride without safety belts on. But not to enforce the law, rather to trade the official punishment (licence suspension, for instance) for money. Pay them now, and you are free to go. Same applies to universities and colleges — you can buy your spot there and\or keep paying teachers to pass exams. Same applies to the army — parents pay enormous buybacks to allow their kids to dodge the humiliating service in Russian army.

And same applies to schools. For instance, have a look at this very symbolic article — auto-translate it to English, the language is pretty straightforward — about a kid from Zhigulevsk, who started a petition against the public school — which means it is officially free — that collects money to (the official explanation) pay salaries to security workers and janitors (yep, no one asked before why a federal school has no money to pay janitors for their service). The kid was labeled as a “traitor”, teachers started bullying his entire class: you get the idea, it’s safer to deal with the young rebel with the hands of other kids in the class who get angry when they are punished “for his actions”. In the video that one of the students has shot in the class, the teacher suggests that if this brave kid refuses to pay, he should bring a bucket, a mop, and start mopping floors in the class himself, and that he lives in the society and must obey its rules. Thankfully, the media brought the story to the public. But what if they didn’t?

The total “pay-to-win” system in Russia leaves no questions why the most powerful people in the country steal billions of budget money and people are somewhat okay with that: they do the same everyone else does, only on the bigger scale.

Religion

According to a Constitution of the Russian Federation — wow, it feels really weird mentioning it: it has been so long since we saw it working last — Russia is a multicultural nonsectarian secular state. However, that county exists only on Constitution pages as an utopia. The real Russia looks more like ISIS in terms of religious bigotry.

I am well aware that even democratic countries can be entangled with religious crap, the need for which sits tight somewhere in the back of our heads. U.S. alone has hundreds, maybe thousands of cults, from local one-town communities to powerful and influential organizations like Scientology. The itch to explain things in the most simple way (often, the most idiotic one at the same time) comes from the way our brain evolved — that organ that takes only 5% percent of our total body weight consumes around 70% of the total energy our organism produces. Cognition is a very costly process, and our internal systems — more precisely, the limbic system also known as the paleomammalian cortex, which manages our primal functions: eating, moving, breeding, emotional responses, etc. — that system does everything it can to minimize the risk of burning through the available energy supplies (your primal brain knows nothing about Walmart and your ability to buy more food and refill those supplies at any time). By the way, that is the reason you feel so nice when you take a day off and spend it on a couch watching a TV-show instead of doing something that needs to be done— as a reward for defeating the neocortex (involved in higher-order brain functions such as cognition, spatial reasoning and language), your brain gets a free shot of endorphins that enforce that feeling of pleasure.

Okay, enough with the medicine — the bottom line is that people are prone to making fast decisions and thinking less. Always have been, and always will be. That is the major reason why a set of ready-to-use “How to live your life” guides called religions are loved all around the world. But in Russia, that love has definitely grown into something much more ominous.

Let’s have some fun — I’ve made a test for you, answer the following questions with Yes\No statements:

Does the primary religion in your country openly spread a terrifying myth that HIV does not exist, and that AIDS comes from stress, vaccines, and bad environment — statements that enforce the HIV denial movement and lead to an epidemic?

Is your army equipped with mobile praying stations that can be deployed on a battlefield?

The church wagon…

…and its even more hilarious version — the pneumatic air church, yay!

Can you be convicted for 3.5 years for playing Pokemon Go in church in your country?

Does your country allot military corps to set up the guard of honor that meets a plane with a saint’s bones?

Is consecrating rockets a necessary procedure that ensures the flight will be successful?

Oops, sorry, that is the successful start of the Falcon Heavy by the heretic Elon Musk…

…and that is a Russian pope who sprinkles a rocket with holy water. Either a water was fake, or the priest wasn’t a sincere believer, or maybe the God himself was against this launch —anyway, the rocket crushes shortly after the take off.

Does the primary church in your country hire priests, who “cleanse” poor fellows with mental disorders by riding them?

Behind the scenes of the “Exorcist”

If gave positive answers to at least two of these questions, I bet we can chat about this article in Russian.

Fatalism

A careful reader has already smelled that scent of fatalism in the text above. The final piece of puzzle that can explain why any law is neglected and any crime is not big enough to inflame mass protests. The fate.

“Ne mi takie — zhizn’ takaya”

You guessed it — another proverb. “It’s not our fault — that’s just the way the life is”. Almost like 2Pac — “that’s just the way it is”. 2Pac, however, mixed that line with “we gotta make a change”. Russians drop this part for there is no light in a tunnel, no faith that anything at all can change. Our fates are sealed and there’s no way we can do anything about that (apart from writing a whiny Medium article, yes).

Those familiar with fascinating Russian literature agree that it’s largely touched by this feeling of something horrible nearby, the doom, the bitter end that awaits us. The epitome of such mood is probably Dostoevsky, whose novels are soaked in this grim mood, a unique mixture of desperation and faith in a higher power.

As I write these words, I suddenly have this thought: what if this blind Christian faith carried through centuries is in fact a natural response to the inevitability of the dark end, an answer for that all-consuming fatalism? If we, the unwilling, the unable, came in this world to suffer, without the prospect of any significant positive change to look forward to, — the end of times when the Lord will make everything right is the only thing left to believe in. Better late than never, huh? Could it be that I’m right, I wonder.

Education

Meet Mikhail Zadornov — one of the most iconic Russian stand-up comedians.

If you ask anyone what’s his iconic phrase, I doubt someone will have difficulties answering “Nu tupie-e-e-e”, which means “Oh they’re morons”. At first “they” meant Americans, later — any “western” person. Almost single-handedly, this guy has forever secured the myth about Russians who are the smartest nation ever. Or at least certainly smarter than moronic Americans.

This stuff wouldn’t gain so much popularity if many Russians didn’t already share the same opinion. As a journalist Alexander Nevzorov says, “a porn magazine can cause erection only if you have penis in the first place”. Believe it or not, many Russians are positively sure that Russia (26 Nobel laureates, many of which — surprisingly!— are residents of foreign countries, like 2010 laureates Geim and Novoselov who work in Manchester) is way “smarter” than the U.S. (371 Nobel laureates), which is largely considered to be the country for fags, morons and fatsos.

Most Russians are positively sure that Soviet Union had the world’s best education. Yeah, right, that pretty much explains why our university diplomas have no value outside Russia, or why millions of Russians were holding jars of water in front of their TV screens in 1980’s, waiting for the famous “psychics” and “faith healers” Chumak and Kashpirovsky to “charge” the liquid with their supernatural abilities and heal the viewers. Chumak is dead, but Kashpirovsky still packs the houses full of people ready to pay money for miraculous recovery.

Yes, that shit was broadcasted on official Soviet TV channels

Funnily enough, Zadornov who had publicly spoiled his U.S. visa and rose through the ranks by trash-talking about western people as untalented brain-dead hucksters and profiteers, rushed into a private EU clinic after being diagnosed with cancer. Unlike millions of his followers, who cannot afford the same and have learn the hard way that their country with “best-in-class educational system” cannot provide a decent medical treatment.

Aggression

If you have ever been to websites like bestgore.com, you probably know what human beings are capable of doing to each other. People behead, flay and dismember their foes alive— not for survival, but just for money, pleasure or out of religious beliefs.

This unspeakable cruelty is horrifying, but so it is rare — most of the time crimes like that are carried out by troubled people with absolutely no remorse or empathy towards others. What you see much more often is something I call a “household cruelty” — hateful actions performed by ordinary people in their everyday life. And that groundless, gratuitous hate towards the others is something in which no nation could arguably “outshine” Russians.

Those who ever tried online games like Counter Strike, Dota or WoW, instantly agree with me — Russians are often considered most toxic players ever. These people can abandon matches, intentionally “feed” their opponents and flame their teammates before the game has even started. Just watch any Russian Dota stream on Twitch or see any highlight compilations— 95% of these “highlights” are not some sick plays, but an exceptionally “epic” flame or a trash-talk.

Some people, however, are capable of turning that aggression into something fabulous.

The entire web, not just video games, is a place for any Russian maggot, obedient and speechless in everyday life, to show his\her true colors. Here’s an example.

A CCTV camera catches a group of teenagers stealing a bronze duck effigy from a city park. Most likely, drunk guys were having fun and showing off in front of the girl — you know how it goes, right?

Definitely, not the most admirable behavior by the young lads. But not the worst crime either. The question is what punishment is fair for these fellows? I’d say, they (or their parents, in case boys are under the legal age) must be charged for the repairs, plus an extra fee. That’s not what Russians in the comment sections think.

“Rip their heads off…”

“Nothing to do with their strength — send them to Syria!”

“Put them down before they breed.” (note: almost 60 more people love this idea)

“They should be sent to BAM or Belomorcanal” (note: the guy is talking about huge highways built by convicts in USSR; many have died on those backbreaking construction sites)

“They won’t feel any shame. Hit them with a crowbar in the spine so that at least they could feel pain :)”

“Execute these fuckers!!!”

“Castrate them!”

“Give them a life sentence!!!!”

“People like them should be gunned down.”

“I wish I knew who these creeps were, I’d break their legs”.

“These fuckers must be reading it now. I’d rip your arms and legs off. Honestly, I’d gladly beat you to death.”

Do not get me wrong, but don’t you think that wishing death, sterilization, legs torn out and arms ripped off is a bit too much for breaking the statue of a duck?

And if you wonder why there is no “intolerance” section here in this article — that is because intolerance is a direct consequence of this raging misanthropy. I do not think people hate gays — or blacks, or Americans, or Muslims, or anyone other person in the world for that matter — because they uphold traditional values and families. As simple as it is, all these people easily represent someone different from a regular Russian, and that reason alone is enough to break their faces and wish them death. As Marilyn Manson adequately puts in his song, “we’re killing strangers so we don’t kill the ones that we love”.

Alcohol

I guess you’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Yes — bears, vodka, balalaika. Vodka is a brand that instantly associates with Russia, and by the George I wish I could say that drunk Russians is nothing but a stereotype. But first, that would confront the official data regarding worldwide alcohol consumption per capita rates. And secondly, unfortunately, this is just the way it is.

Every birthday, every holiday, or simply every Friday or weekend is impossible without alcohol. And do not get me wrong, there are other countries whose drinking is almost a part of the national idea —for instance, South Korea or Japan. But honestly, I have little interest in drunk Japanese lying in the subway in their business suites every Friday. I’m concerned in the consequences drinking brings to my own country.

A drunk pope on the Geländewagen fatally hits two road workers and flees from the scene. This was one of 169,432 road accidents that took lives of 19,088 people in Russia in 2017.

A drunk student tries to step from the balcony into a window. Falls down eleven stories to his death (warning: graphic video).

A drunk cop walks into a supermarket and starts a shoot-out, executing two people and wounding seven more.

A politician gets sloshed with vodka in a forest with his friends, sees a wood ranger’s dog and kills it, then slams the ranger himself into the tree. According to the locals, shooting stray animals and people’s cattle is a well-known hobby of the civil servant, who by the way still keeps his position.

Four drunk teenagers, ages 15 to 17, torture a homeless woman and beat her to death.

Another group of drunk high school students kill a woman they meet in a cafe. According to the police reports, the attacker has torn the victim’s face apart and pulled her entrails through the vagina. I’m not sure if that case illustrates the terrors of drinking, or the aggression — or rather, the sadistic evil inside our people — but I will spare you from seeing the aftermath photo.

A drunk man teases the bear and loses the arm.

And of course…

Numerous drunk kids set stray cats and dogs on fire and chop their noses off.

Tons of drunk husbands beat their wives to death.

Thousands of drunk people attack random passers-by on streets.

Countless drunk workers lose their limbs and their lives in factory accidents.

Innumerable drunk parents beat and kill their kids.

Call me a hypocrite if you want, but the nation of people who unleash such horrors after a few sips should never have free access to alcohol. Which, sadly, will never happen. The alcohol provides a good measure of control: for as long as an “ordinary” Russian can get drunk, he would prefer that to fighting for his rights, justice, or country leaders that see other goals rather than filling their own pockets.

Pride

Finally, after everything written above, after you get the glimpse of that dark side of “ordinary” Russians — cruel, indifferent, ignorant, spineless people — does it come as a surprise that Russians are extremely proud of their country?

There are probably experts in Russia that can provide you with an exact formula of how this feeling emerges. I’m not one of them. I myself keep wondering what exactly gives birth to this moronic patriotism, a feeling that Bernard Shaw defines as “fundamentally, a conviction that a particular country is the best in the world because you were born in it”. I also cannot but quote George Carlin on this matter:

“Pride should be reserved for something you achieve or obtain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth. Being Irish isn’t a skill… it’s a fucking genetic accident. You wouldn’t say I’m proud to be 5'11”; I’m proud to have a pre-disposition for colon cancer.”

But still, even though patriotism it is a moronic feeling, I can understand Americans’ patriotism — in the end, they belong to of one of the most influential countries. I understand Swedes — people of the country that has been named the most livable country times and times again. I understand Chinese — people of the country that not too long ago was merely a machinery for the western world, but has now risen to have great impact on the globe and one of the world’s fastest growing economy.

But I can neither understand, nor comprehend the mysterious Russian patriotism. A feeling of pride that you belong to a country, inhabited by those who you hate. A feeling of joy to live in a state that shows no joy of knowing you live here. A feeling of honor to be born in a country that prefers making enemies rather than investing in its own people. An unconditional commitment to your land, a willingness to fight and die for the country that does not value your life and will most likely abandon its own defenders, as it did after every military conflict before.

One of numerous dog-poor WWII veterans goes begging in a Moscow subway

That illogical pride must be the final part of the grand absurd design that enchants many foreigners, who are mesmerized with the inexplicable way this country exists. God only knows how millions of these interconnected systems assemble into one love-hate piece, but that knowledge is not even required. In the end, it all boils down to immortal poem by Fedor Tyutchev:

You will not grasp her with your mind

Or cover with a common label,

For Russia is one of a kind —

Believe in her, if you are able.

Too bad the poet does not have advice for those who are unable.

5G will revolutionize medicine - and Russia is at the forefront

Contributed Article By Travis Lee Bailey

Friday 31 January 2020

5G is the fifth generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks, which cellular phone companies began deploying worldwide in 2019, and is the planned successor to the 4G networks which provide connectivity to most current cellphones. 5G networks are predicted to have more than 1.7 billion subscribers worldwide by 2025, according to the GSM Association.

5G is poised to transform industries, society and how we communicate and live in ways we've yet to imagine. Not simply a faster 4G LTE, 5G is one of the most transformative technologies in the history of telecommunications. 5G is 10 times faster, supports 10,000 times more network traffic and can handle 100 times more devices than 4G networks while enabling one-fiftieth the latency with zero perceived downtime.[2]

In Russia, recently the first laparoscopy surgical procedure was performed twice with the use of 5g technology. This is a surgery in which a fibre-optic instrument is inserted through the abdominal wall. A cancer tumor was successfully removed with the use of a laparoscope and 4K camera connected to the 5g network. This procedure was accomplished in the Skolkovo Innovation Center, located in the suburbs of Moscow and nicknamed the "Silicon Valley" of Russia with support of the Moscow Department of Information Technologies.

“Skolkovo is one of several 5g pilot zones in the Moscow region. Over the past six months, innovators have demonstrated how fifth generation communication can be used in a variety of services, from road safety to entertainment. Today, Beeline (a Russian telecomications giant) has demonstrated how 5g can benefit the medical field,” said Eduard Lysenko, Head of Moscow Department of Information Technology.

5g is the fifth generation wireless technology for digital cellular networks that began large scale deployment in 2019. As with previous cellular technologies, 5g networks rely on signals carried by radio waves - transmitted between an antenna and your phone. But when fully implemented, 5g is set to offer download speeds many times faster than today's 4G LTE networks. Russia is uniquely positioned to be a pioneer of 5g capabilities. Currently 89% of the Russia population subscribe to mobile services, making Russia one of the most highly penetrated countries in the world – ahead of both Europe and Northern America. In fact, Russia was one of the first countries in the region to launch 4G in 2012. GSMA Intelligence released an overview in 2018 that stated 5g will develop quickly in Russia, with “more than 80% of the Russian population covered by 2025.”

5g will revolutionize the medical field. It will make procedures like medical diagnosis, mobile surgery, and other real time medical treatments a reality. This will apply to both 'tele-presence,' where a surgeon can merely follow an operation on a video connection and offer expert support, and for 'tele-surgery,' where the doctor actually operates the surgical device from far away. Before with 4g networks, remote surgery using wireless networks was impossible, because the lag time between input and output lasts around a quarter of a second, sometimes as long as 2 seconds — a delay potentially harmful, possibly fatal, to a patient. Now, 5g promises to change all that, with its latency reduced to an almost instantaneous 2 milliseconds between devices.

It will no longer be necessary to transport a patient to a specific clinic or specialist. Remote consultations will reduce the need for travel, significantly saving both doctor and patient time. This will have a big impact on medical specialists, who spend more than 70% of their time travelling from one location to another for complex operations.

Furthermore, 5g makes for more mobile and comfortable operating theaters, thanks to its ability to connect medical equipment wirelessly.

The other equally valuable benefit of 5g is the increased volume of data that can be processed at great speed during surgery. Doctors will be able to connect many more medical devices together and gain data from the patient, in a way that isn't possible at the moment. Different medical specialists, in different places, will all be able to work together for the first time.

There are many medical benefits 5g provides for large files. For example, a single patient can generate hundreds of gigabytes of data each day, from patient medical records to the large image files generated by MRI, CAT, or PET scans. A PET scanner alone generates extremely large files — up to 1 gigabyte of information per patient per study. Adding a high-speed 5g network can help quickly and reliably transport huge data files of medical imagery. A 5g network means that these large files can be transmitted quickly between doctors and hospitals, reducing the time that would otherwise be needed to move them across older networks. The reduction in time that 5g brings means more timely diagnostics, second opinions, treatment starts and adjustments, since the medical data can be transmitted and consumed by doctors faster than ever before.

In addition, the risks of 5g are minimal. 5g uses higher frequency waves than earlier mobile networks, allowing devices to have faster speeds. The electromagnetic radiation used by all mobile phone technologies has led some to worry about increased health risks, including developing cancer. In 2014 the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that "no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use". But the WHO along with the international agency for research on cancer (iarc) has classified all mobile signals as "possibly carcinogenic".

Moscow's Department of Information Technologies is a technology pioneer in the field of 5G. This decade, the technology that this department is developing will dramatically improve outcomes in health care in Russia and worldwide.

United States policy makers do not care about human rights.

A prominent US President Carter administration official bragged about a covert CIA program to draw the USSR into the Afghanistan War.☠️

In the American mythos, the Soviet invasion led to US involvement; in fact, the US had been backing the Afghan Muslim Brotherhood and other right-wing proxies for years. Carter’s National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski would later acknowledge that it was their intent to trigger a Soviet invasion.

National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski quote:

"According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.

...

That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire."

At least as early as 1972, the CIA began funding Afghan fighters

"At least as early as 1972, the CIA began funding Afghan fighters." Don’t Blame Islam. Al-Qaeda and ISIS are products of US and Saudi imperialism.

America's Other War: Terrorizing Colombia (2017)

Purchase on Amazon

This controversial book lifts the lid on US policy in Latin America both during and after the Cold War. It demonstrates that the war on drugs and the "war on terror" is actually part of brutal pursuit of economic interests, with US policy directly contributing to the horrific human rights situation in Colombia today. America's Forgotten War maintains that in Colombia the US has long supported a pervasive campaign of state violence directed against both armed insurgents and a wide range of unarmed progressive social forces. While the reason for this violence may change from one decade to the next, the basic policies remain the same: maintain the pro-US Colombian state, protect US economic interests and preserve strategic access to oil.

The American Who Tells Russia How Bad Things Are in America

Controversial American-expatriate radio host Tim Kirby is making a name for himself in Russia as a kind of Kremlin-appointed "Joe The Plumber" on why America is broken. Excerpts from his appearances on Russian television shows.

Wall Street Journal

[Expand] The American Who Tells Russia How Bad Things Are in America (Full article)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887323611604578398493366755234

Alexander Nefyodov hears it every Thursday when he tunes in from the Arctic port city of Murmansk. "It's so interesting to hear from an American about how America really works," he says.

It isn't quite the radio of days past. Soviet-era beacons like Radio Liberty and the BBC have lost their place on Russian airwaves, and now the Kremlin is offering a fresher voice: Tim Kirby, an expatriate from the suburbs of Cleveland, who says he wants Russian citizenship and says Joseph Stalin was a better leader than he has been portrayed in history books.

On radio shows on Moscow's state-controlled Radio Mayak and in frequent appearances on state television, Mr. Kirby is making a name for himself inside Russia as a kind of Kremlin-appointed Joe the Plumber who explains a broken America to Russian listeners.

"We Russians think that whenever something goes bad here that it must be better in America," says Mr. Nefyodov, 25, who works in a small family wholesale grocery business. Now he says he knows "that things are worse or the same over there."

As the Kremlin rallied support for its ban on U.S. adoptions of Russian orphans imposed late last year, Mr. Kirby, who is 31, appeared on prime-time talk shows to say that one quarter of American children take pills that affect their brains, and that they are endangered by religious sects whose members oppose medical care or dance around poisonous snakes. "Every 6 or 10 years a snake bites a child, the child dies and that's the news of the day and the process repeats itself," he told a national television audience in February.

When demonstrations erupted around the country over Vladimir Putin's plan to return to the Kremlin in late 2011, Mr. Kirby took to the airwaves to say that Mr. Putin was just taking a page from Washington's playbook. "In America there is a tendency for whoever is sitting in power to be the winner," he said. "In Russia it's the same: Putin is there, we understand it's best not to risk anything."

Mr. Kirby's career is flowering as the Kremlin ramps up a campaign against U.S. influence in Russia, warning that Western-paid agents are trying to undermine the country's stability under the guise of civic action and human rights campaigns.

He has a regular show on RT, the Kremlin's lavishly funded international broadcast channel, whose boss calls it a weapon for "information war." Last month the channel aired a report calling America one of the worst places to live, with quality-of-life indicators down there with Papua New Guinea. A state-run newspaper quoted a top Russian veterinary official saying American milk is laced with hormones that sprout whiskers on women.

TIM KIRBY

Since the Bolshevik Revolution, Russia has been a magnet for Americans disillusioned with the American dream. In the 1920s, socialist labor leader Big Bill Haywood fled to Moscow to escape espionage charges, and today his ashes are buried behind a plaque in the Kremlin wall. In the 1970s and 1980s, singer and songwriter Dean Reed toured here and gave the Soviet Union moral support for the war in Afghanistan and the Berlin Wall.

Mr. Kirby disputes comparisons to Soviet-era American ideologues, and says Russia simply isn't suited for Western-style democracy. That has gotten him hate mail from some Russians, including a message from one who warned he "may one day be found facedown in a swamp." (That was an apparent reference to Mr. Reed, who was discovered dead in a lake near his East Berlin home six weeks after an appearance on CBS's "60 Minutes" when he compared Ronald Reagan to Stalin.)

He urges Russians to take pride in their past, and stop looking west for role models. He often appears on television in a flannel shirt, and his message is simple: The American dream is a myth for most Americans, and better realized in Russia. "Maybe the American dream does exist somewhere, but not where I'm from," he said in a video interview.

Mr. Kirby humbly offers his own travails in America to exemplify the dream's crackup.

He grew up in a rundown suburb of Cleveland, where his father struggled with deadbeat clients in the furniture-refinishing business and saw their house plummet in value when the neighborhood was hit by white flight, he says. Mr. Kirby says his upbringing as a white minority in his neighborhood left him "uncomfortable" in polite society and hostile to authority. In high school, he says, he was forced by school administrators to pay weekly visits to a psychologist after he was identified by fellow students as someone "who would pull off a Columbine shooting."

Mr. Kirby decided to explore his Slavic roots—he says his grandparents were Polish—and after college he joined the Peace Corps, which sent him to the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan.

He ended up in Moscow in 2007, where he found work designing videogames. His media debut came that year as a guest on an adult podcast where the hosts quizzed him on American sexual attitudes, asked him to say swear words in Russian and giggled at his accent.

The show wasn't successful, but Mr. Kirby performed well and soon moved on to offbeat video reports promoting tourism in Russia. He was hired by RT, the Kremlin-financed television station, after giving an impressive presentation on a cucumber festival in the provincial city of Kirov, he says.

He also made acquaintances close to the Kremlin. Leaders of a Kremlin-financed youth group invited him to join a handpicked group of students meeting former President Dmitry Medvedev, he says.

Mr. Kirby got his own talk show on the state-controlled Radio Mayak, a station founded by the Soviet Communist Party to counterbalance Western influence. For an hour on Sundays he invited guests to talk politics. Some of his guests were Russian ideologues who praise Stalin as an effective manager who forged Russia into a superpower.

Radio Mayak says it doesn't know precisely how many listeners tuned into Mr. Kirby's shows, but they say he's a hit. Russia's Ministry of Communications rated it the best political talk show in Russia in 2012, but the format was abruptly changed last summer after Mr. Kirby got an on-air tongue-lashing from a Kremlin critic for suggesting fascism needn't be outlawed. Now he appears on Thursdays, as a regular guest of another talk show host. The station said the move was a promotion, so more listeners could hear him as they drive to work.

Mr. Kirby also shoots English-language opinion pieces on the Kremlin cable channel, RT. "I always wanted to affect society in a positive way, and now I can," he says.

Firefox Need to get rid of "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate

(2) Autoconfig

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557

This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.

The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.

That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.

Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.

Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one

From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3

3. Copy Command on Windows

Platform: Windows

Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:

copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3

The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.

If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.

Pros

No need to install a software

The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality

Cons

Not possible to edit the files

No way to change the format of the output file

Cumbersome to use.

Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm


3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC

VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)

Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.

You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.

Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts

Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.

Or, use the hotkey combination

Win+R to open Run >

type cmd in the box >

hit Enter

Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.

Run Command Prompt

[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt

Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.

Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location

Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:

"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}

Sidenotes:
1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Reset password Change or reset your Windows password

3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC

VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)

Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.

You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.

Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts

Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.

Or, use the hotkey combination

Win+R to open Run >

type cmd in the box >

hit Enter

Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.

Run Command Prompt

[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt

Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.

Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location

Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:

"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}

Sidenotes:
1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Firefox Need to get rid of "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate

https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/utbtdl/need_to_get_rid_of_importenterpriseroots

The two ways to lock a preference are:

(1) Enterprise Policy -- check about:policies

This can be done by dropping a file: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson

(2) Autoconfig

This is done by dropping two files: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557

This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.

The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.

That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.

Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.

Hope this clears things up for you.

Guess which astronaut is Russian?

Russians don’t smile much, but that doesn’t mean they don’t like you. In preparation for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Russian workers were taught how to properly smile at the foreign soccer fans who would soon be visiting their country. In 1990, when McDonalds opened its first franchise in Moscow, workers had to be trained to be polite and smile. Russians will be quick to tell you that in Russia, randomly smiling at strangers is often viewed as a sign of mental illness or inferior intellect. To Americans, it might be easy to assume that this says something about Russians — that they are an unfriendly, callous people. But that’s not true at all. Instead, it may be worth looking at why certain expressions, such as smiling, become a key part of social exchanges in some cultures and not others.[1][2][3]

Some authors have quipped that Russia is a "Bitchy Resting Face Nation". Resting bitch face is a facial expression that makes a person unintentionally appear to be angry, annoyed, irritated, or feeling contempt, especially when the individual is relaxed.[4]

So why are Russians like “coconuts” and Americans like “peaches”? Why do Russians often think Americans are either idiots and insincere? Why do Americans feel that Russians are unfriendly and cold? Thankfully there are many social science theories that have explored this topic. These include immigration and collectivism vs. individualism.

Firefox Need to get rid of "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate

https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/utbtdl/need_to_get_rid_of_importenterpriseroots

The two ways to lock a preference are:

(1) Enterprise Policy -- check about:policies

This can be done by dropping a file: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson

(2) Autoconfig

This is done by dropping two files: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557

This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.

The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.

That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.

Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.

Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one

From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3

3. Copy Command on Windows

Platform: Windows

Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:

copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3

The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.

If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.

Pros

No need to install a software

The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality

Cons

Not possible to edit the files

No way to change the format of the output file

Cumbersome to use.

VLC

Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm


3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC

VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)

Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.

You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.

Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts

Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.

Or, use the hotkey combination

Win+R to open Run >

type cmd in the box >

hit Enter

Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.

Run Command Prompt

[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt

Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.

Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location

Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:

"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}

Sidenotes:
1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Reset password Change or reset your Windows password

Glossary

Recordings (audio transcripts) starts on page 138 of out book.

Unit 1 Building a career 1.1 About business: The education business Speaker 1: Education for all - what a ludicrous idea! It’s an incredible waste of resources. In countries where anybody can go to university, at least half the students drop out after the first year. If resources are limited, which they obviously are, then we should use them wisely to train the brightest and best - those who can benefit most from a university education.

Speaker 2: I think it’s unrealistic to keep pumping public money into universities. That way, there’s no incentive for them to become more competitive. It makes much more sense to use government funding to provide loans to students, and let universities compete with private schools for their business. They’d soon sort out their finances!

Speaker 3: It’s not right that students should have to mortgage their future. Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to education. Universities should remain not-for-profit. It would be disastrous if they were forced to become profit-making businesses.

Speaker 4: This whole debate is a complete waste of time. A university degree just isn’t relevant any more. You spend three or four years learning outdated theories that have nothing to do with modern life, and there isn’t even a guarantee of a good job at the end of it, or a job at all for that matter. You just waste three years when you could be earning money and gaining valuable real- world experience.

Teaching recommendations

Innovative teaching approach - student centered

Я преподаю подросткам и взрослым общий английский, юридический английский, деловой английский, социологию и международную политику. (English below)

Будучи американкой, я периодически преподаю детям с 2000 года в Корпусе мира США в Украине, Одесса. Это добровольческая правительственная организация, которая работает по всему миру. С 2000 года я преподаю английский язык детям и взрослым, используя самые передовые методы обучения.

Я люблю русский народ и собираюсь прожить здесь, в Москве, всю оставшуюся жизнь. В 2021 году пятеро из нас опубликовали книгу о различиях между русскими и американцами под названием “Почему русские не улыбаются?: Полное руководство по различиям между русскими и американцами”. Преподавательская деятельность позволяет мне понять неуловимую русскую душу и поделиться своей культурой и идеями. Как социолог, я привношу Америку в свои занятия. Мой опыт жизни в 6 штатах Америки, годы работы в различных сферах деятельности и все, чему я научился благодаря своим четырем дипломам. Я верю в личностно-ориентированный подход к обучению. Работая со студентами, получающими степень бакалавра маркетинга, я специально подбираю каждый урок с учетом того, чем увлечен клиент или что ему необходимо изучить для своей карьеры. Изучение английского языка должно приносить удовольствие.

Когда студенты используют мой английский практически в повседневной жизни, это самое приятное чувство, которое я могу испытать в своей жизни. Достижение конкретных результатов - это моя страсть и цель в работе с каждым из моих дорогих студентов. Я с нетерпением жду встречи с вами и возможности обучать вас в ближайшее время.

Studying together with lawyer.jpg

I teach teenagers and adults, General English, Legal English, Business English, Sociology and International Politics.


As an American, I have been teaching children off and on since 2000 in the United States Peace Corps Ukraine, Odessa. A volunteer government organization which works around the world. Since 2000 I have been teaching English to children and adults utilizing the most cutting edge teaching methods.

I love the Russian people and I will live here in Moscow for the rest of my life. Five of us published a book on the differences between Russians and Americans, entitled “Why Don't Russians Smile?: The definitive guide to the differences between Russians and Americans” in 2021. Teaching allows me to understand the elusive Russian Soul and to share my culture and ideas. As a sociologist, I bring America to my lessons. My experiences living in 6 American states, my years working at a variety of careers, and everything I have learned from my four diplomas. I believe in a student centered approach to learning. With a marketing bachelors, I specially tailor each one of my lessons to what the client is passionate about or must learn for their career. Learning English should be fun.

When students use my English practically in daily life, that is the most rewarding feeling that I can receive in my life. Achieving concrete results is my passion and goal with every one of my dear students. I look forward to meeting you and teaching you soon.

America's Other War: Terrorizing Colombia (2017)

https://www.amazon.com/Americas-Other-War-Terrorizing-Colombia/dp/3659929875 Purchase on Amazon]

This controversial book lifts the lid on US policy in Latin America both during and after the Cold War. It demonstrates that the war on drugs and the "war on terror" is actually part of brutal pursuit of economic interests, with US policy directly contributing to the horrific human rights situation in Colombia today. America's Forgotten War maintains that in Colombia the US has long supported a pervasive campaign of state violence directed against both armed insurgents and a wide range of unarmed progressive social forces. While the reason for this violence may change from one decade to the next, the basic policies remain the same: maintain the pro-US Colombian state, protect US economic interests and preserve strategic access to oil.

Russian edition

Эта противоречивая книга приоткрывает завесу над политикой США в Латинской Америке во время и после "холодной войны". В ней показано, что война с наркотиками и "война с терроризмом" на самом деле являются частью жестокого преследования экономических интересов, а политика США напрямую способствует ужасающей ситуации с правами человека в современной Колумбии. В книге "Забытая война Америки" утверждается, что в Колумбии США давно поддерживают широкомасштабную кампанию государственного насилия, направленную как против вооруженных повстанцев, так и против широкого круга невооруженных прогрессивных общественных сил. Хотя причины этого насилия могут меняться от одного десятилетия к другому, основная политика остается неизменной: сохранение проамериканского колумбийского государства, защита экономических интересов США и сохранение стратегического доступа к нефти.

Dieses kontroverse Buch lüftet den Deckel auf die US-Politik in Lateinamerika während und nach dem Kalten Krieg. Es zeigt, dass der Krieg gegen Drogen und der "Krieg gegen den Terror" in Wirklichkeit Teil einer brutalen Verfolgung wirtschaftlicher Interessen ist, wobei die US-Politik direkt zu der schrecklichen Menschenrechtslage im heutigen Kolumbien beiträgt. America's Forgotten War behauptet, dass die USA in Kolumbien seit langem eine allgegenwärtige Kampagne staatlicher Gewalt unterstützen, die sich sowohl gegen bewaffnete Aufständische als auch gegen ein breites Spektrum unbewaffneter progressiver sozialer Kräfte richtet. Auch wenn sich der Grund für diese Gewalt von einem Jahrzehnt zum nächsten ändern mag, so bleibt die grundlegende Politik doch dieselbe: die Aufrechterhaltung des US-freundlichen kolumbianischen Staates, der Schutz der wirtschaftlichen Interessen der USA und der Erhalt des strategischen Zugangs zum Öl.

Guide to Foreign Funding Sources Available to Ukrainian Non Profits (2002)

The Innovation and Development Centre (IDC), a Ukrainian non-profit organization, proudly presents this third edition of the directory of foreign donor opportunities for Ukrainian initiatives. In response to overwhelming demand from non-profit organizations across the country, the IDC has updated and expanded this directory to include a wider range of opportunities...

This 2002 edition has been further expanded and edited to include a larger number of foundations, governmental programs and international organizations to provide even more funding opportunities. Because of the increasingly growing influence and importance of the Internet in grant seeking, this edition focuses more on the use of the Internet than the previous two editions.

Research for this guide was conducted through March - June of 2002. Information regarding each organization, their program priorities and activities was carefully checked for accuracy and applicability to Ukraine. The IDC contacted each organization in order to obtain current information and a detailed description of their programming. Additionally, each organization was encouraged to tailor its information to the Ukrainian audience. Every effort was made to ensure the accuracy of the information presented, yet as granting priorities and organizations rapidly change, the accompanying contact information and programming may also be subject change...

The IDC would like to acknowledge the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation for providing continual support and assistance to the development of the Ukrainian third sector. Additionally, the IDC thanks U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer David Koenig for assisting with the 2000 guide. The IDC would also like to thank U.S. Peace Corps Volunteers Travis Bailey and Patrick M. Breiding for their work on the 2002 guide.

Why do They Hate Us? Origins of Anti-Americanism A Framework for Analysis

English Introduction

Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) research paper.

Why do they hate us? After 9/11, this question was heard throughout American media. Despite the interest about Anti-Americanism in the popular journalism, academic literature on the subject of Anti-Americanism has been surprising limited. While the limited research around Anti-Americanism has focused on which country's citizens are Anti-American and/or has attempted to quantify what Anti-Americanism is, little existing research has explained the social and economic factors which cause Anti-Americanism. This paper will seek to understand key cultural drivers that have fostered Anti-American sentiment. While outside the scope of this research, these results may contribute to a critical reassessment of the deep-seated roots of third world rage, and help avert future terrorist attack on United States interests.

Conclusion

This study sought to identify at a broad level, significant factors that have led to Anti-Americanism in many of the world's countries. The research first analyzed the impact of economic independent variables followed by economic aid and US troop levels. In summary, only military aid and sales showed a strong significant relationship to Anti-Americanism.

RUSSIAN excerpt (РУССКИЙ отрывок)

Почему они ненавидят нас?

Происхождение анти-американизма:

Почему они ненавидят нас? После 11 сентября этот вопрос прозвучал во всех американских СМИ. Несмотря на интерес к антиамериканизму в популярной журналистике, академическая литература по теме антиамериканизма оказалась удивительно ограниченной. В то время как ограниченные исследования вокруг антиамериканизма были сосредоточены на том, какие граждане страны являются антиамериканцами и / или пытались количественно определить, что такое антиамериканизм, мало существующих исследований объяснили социальные и экономические факторы, которые вызывают антиамериканизм. В этой статье мы попытаемся понять основные культурные факторы, которые способствовали развитию антиамериканских настроений. Хотя эти результаты и выходят за рамки настоящего исследования, они могут способствовать критической переоценке глубинных корней ярости третьего мира и помочь предотвратить будущие террористические нападения на Соединенные Штаты.

Вывод

Это исследование было направлено на выявление на широком уровне существенных факторов, которые привели к антиамериканизму во многих странах мира. В ходе исследования сначала анализировалось влияние экономических независимых переменных, а затем - экономическая помощь и численность американских войск. Таким образом, только военная помощь и продажи демонстрировали сильную значимую связь с антиамериканизмом.Обзор существующей литературы.

В исследовании 1992 года на тему антиамериканизма Смит и Вертман (1992: 188) заметили, что "хотя антиамериканизм уже давно вызывает обеспокоенность у СМИ и политиков США", антиамериканизм игнорируется учеными. Почти два десятилетия спустя, и несмотря на атаки 11 сентября и феноменальный рост антиамериканских настроений по всему миру, это утверждение все еще остается верным (Джонстон (Johnston), 2006, стр. 3). Ученые считают причиной отсутствия внимания три фактора. Первый фактор заключается в том, что антиамериканизм - это неоднозначный термин, который трудно осмыслить (Джонстон, 2006, стр. 3). Во-вторых, антиамериканизмом чаще называют эмоции, которые являются реакцией на какое-либо событие, чем используют как определение самих событий. Там, где другие темы социальных наук находят аналитиков и аналогии, антиамериканизм должен бороться с крестоносцами (Джонстон, 2006, стр. 3; Миллер, 1982, стр. 3). Последний фактор американская коллективная амнезия, человеческая тенденция перекладывать вину на удобные абстракции и культурное чувство невиновности (Мак Ферсон, Миллер (McPherson, 2004, 148; Miller, 1982), стр. 253).

Джонсон (2006: 10) заявляет, что большинство антиамериканской литературы явно имеет свой посыл, и почти все антиамериканские ученые разделяются на два лагеря. Одна группа ученых утверждает, что виноваты политики Соединенных Штатов и что Соединенные Штаты ненавидят за то, что они делают и их внешнюю политику и действия, "внешняя" причина (с. 10). Вторая группа ученых, заявляет, что антиамериканизм является иррациональным поведением, что антиамериканизм происходит от психологических, культурных или политических аспектов нации, граждане которой проявляют антиамериканизм. Эти авторы предполагают, что граждане других стран ненавидят Соединенные Штаты за то, чем они являются, "внутренняя" причина. (Джонстон (Johnston), 2006, стр. 10; Schlapentokh & Woods, 2004, стр. 167). Джонстон (2006: 5) утверждает, что "несмотря на то, что это притворяется законной социальной наукой, основная масса этой литературы в значительной степени не более чем тонко завуалированная пропаганда, которая поразительно (и тревожно) похожа на литературу, выпущенную сторонниками правого крыла и комментаторами консерваторов" . Наиболее известный внутренний взгляд - "Столкновение цивилизаций" Хантингтона (1996: 15).

Хантингтон полагает, что существует непреодолимая пропасть между Западом и его ценностями и Исламом и его ценностями. Недавние исследования основаны на этой внутренней гипотезе.

While the limited research around Anti-Americanism has focused on which country's citizens are Anti-American and/or has attempted to quantify what Anti-Americanism is, little existing research has explained the social and economic factors which cause Anti-Americanism (Johnston, 2006, p. 2). This paper will seek to understand key cultural drivers that have fostered Anti-American sentiment. While outside the scope of this research, these results may contribute to a critical reassessment of the deep-seated roots of third world rage, and help avert future terrorist attack on United States interests.

Review of Existing Literature

In a 1992 essay on the topic of Anti-Americanism, Smith and Wertman (1992: 188) observed that “though anti-Americanism has long been a concern of the media and the U.S. policymakers,” Anti-Americanism has been neglected by scholars. Almost two decades later, and despite the 9/11 attacks and the phenomenal increase in Anti-American sentiment around the world, this assertion still holds true (Johnston, 2006, p. 3). Scholars attribute this lack of attention because of three factors. The first factor is that Anti-Americanism is an ambiguous term, which is difficult to conceptualize (Johnston, 2006, p. 3). Second, Anti-Americanism is more often the Origins of Anti-Americanism: Groundwork for Scholarly Analysis name of the emotion that reacts to a series of events than a definition of the events themselves.

Where other social science topics finds analysts and analogies, Anti-Americanism must contend with crusaders for and against (Johnston, 2006, p. 3; Miller, 1982, p. 3). The final factor is Americans collective amnesia, the human tendency to shift blame to handy abstractions, and a cultural sense of innocence (McPherson, 2004, 148; Miller, 1982, p. 253).

Johnson (2006:10) postulates that the majority of Anti-American literature clearly has an agenda, and nearly all Anti-American scholars fall into two camps. One group of scholars argues that United States policies are to blame and that the United States is hated for what it does, its foreign policies and actions, an "external" causation (p. 10). The second group of scholars, postulates that Anti-Americanism is an irrational behavior, that Anti-Americanism derives from the psychological, cultural, or political aspects of the nation whose citizens exhibit AntiAmericanism. These authors surmise that citizens of other countries hate the United States for what it is, an "internal" causation. (Johnston, 2006, p. 10; Schlapentokh & Woods, 2004, p. 167). Johnston (2006: 5) argues that "despite the pretense of being legitimate social science, the bulk of this literature is largely little more than thinly veiled propaganda that is strikingly (and disturbingly) similar to literature put out by right-wing advocacy groups and conservative commentators." footnote 1

The most famous internal view is Huntington's (1996:15) Clash of Civilizations. Huntington theorizes that there is an irreconcilable divide between the West and its values, and Islam and its values. Recent scholarship builds upon this internal hypothesis.....

5G

Total Telecom

The Skolkovo Innovation Center, in the suburbs of Moscow, is nicknamed the "Silicon Valley" of Russia. Within Skolkovo is the Moscow Department of Information Technologies, a pioneer in 5g medical technology. 5g is the fifth generation wireless technology for digital cellular networks that began large scale deployment in 2019. As with previous cellular technologies, 5g networks rely on signals carried by radio waves - transmitted between an antenna and your phone. But when fully implemented, 5g is set to offer download speeds many times faster than today's 4G LTE networks. Russia is uniquely positioned to be a pioneer of 5g capabilities. Currently 89% of the Russia population subscribe to mobile services, making Russia one of the most highly penetrated countries in the world – ahead of both Europe and Northern America. In fact, Russia was one of the first countries in the region to launch 4G in 2012. GSMA Intelligence released an overview in 2018 that stated 5g will develop quickly in Russia, with “more than 80% of the Russian population covered by 2025.”

5g will revolutionize the medical field.. The technology allows surgeons to conduct procedures as if they were right next to the patient. Before with 4g networks, remote surgery using wireless networks was impossible, because the lag time between input and output lasts around a quarter of a second, sometimes as long as 2 seconds — a delay potentially harmful, possibly fatal, to a patient. Now, 5g promises to change all that, with its latency reduced to an almost instantaneous 2 milliseconds between devices. This will also make procedures like medical diagnosis, mobile surgery, and other real time medical treatments a reality. This will apply to both 'tele-presence,' where a surgeon can merely follow an operation on a video connection and offer expert support, and for 'tele-surgery,' where the doctor actually operates the surgical device from far away. The other equally valuable benefit of 5g is the increased volume of data that can be processed at great speed during surgery. Doctors will be able to connect many more medical devices together and gain data from the patient, in a way that isn't possible at the moment. Different medical specialists, in different places, will all be able to work together for the first time.

Second, there are many medical benefits 5g provides for large files. For example, a single patient can generate hundreds of gigabytes of data each day, from patient medical records to the large image files generated by MRI, CAT, or PET scans. A PET scanner alone generates extremely large files — up to 1 gigabyte of information per patient per study. Adding a high-speed 5g network can help quickly and reliably transport huge data files of medical imagery. A 5g network means that these large files can be transmitted quickly between doctors and hospitals, reducing the time that would otherwise be needed to move them across older networks. The reduction in time that 5g brings means more timely diagnostics, second opinions, treatment starts and adjustments, since the medical data can be transmitted and consumed by doctors faster than ever before.

In addition, the risks of 5g are minimal. 5g uses higher frequency waves than earlier mobile networks, allowing devices to have faster speeds. The electromagnetic radiation used by all mobile phone technologies has led some to worry about increased health risks, including developing cancer. In 2014 the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that "no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use". But the WHO along with the international agency for research on cancer (iarc) has classified all mobile signals as "possibly carcinogenic".

In Russia, the Moscow Department of Information Technologies at Skolkovo is leading the field in 5g medical technology. The first laparoscopy surgerical procedure was perfomed twice in Russia with the use of 5g technology. This is a surgery in which a fibre-optic instrument is inserted through the abdominal wall. A cancer tumor was successfully removed with the use of a laparoscope and 4K camera connected to the 5g network.

“Skolkovo is one of several 5g pilot zones in the Moscow region. Over the past six months, innovators have demonstrated how fifth generation communication can be used in a variety of services, from road safety to entertainment. Today, Beeline (a Russian telecomications giant) has demonstrated how 5g can benefit the medical field,” said Eduard Lysenko, Head of Moscow Department of Information Technology.

“Thanks to fifth-generation communications, medicine and medical are expected to drastically improve quality of life for citizens,” he added.

New generation networks in Russia will enable remote surgical procedures, so that it will no longer be necessary to transport a patient to a specific clinic or specialist. Furthermore, 5g makes for more mobile and comfortable operating theaters, thanks to its ability to connect medical equipment wirelessly. Finally, thanks to 5g, remote consultations will reduce the need for travel, significantly saving both doctor and patient time. This will have a big impact on medical specialists, who spend more than 70% of their time travelling from one location to another for complex operations.

Moscow's Department of Information Technologies at Skolkovo is a technology pioneer in the field of 5G. Thisdecade, the technology that this department is developing will dramatically improve outcomes in health care.

Тревис Бейли, американский юрист: "Байден — военный преступник"

Biden your LEGACY can be PEACE American embassy in Russia Moscow

Корреспонденты "Russia News" поговорили с американским юристом и писателем из Оклахомы, господином Тревисом Бейли, который рассказал, почему переехал из США в Россию и пока не планирует возвращаться на Родину.

— Здравствуйте, расскажите, почему Вы решились на переезд?

— Здравствуйте, меня зовут Тревис Бейли, я американец и живу в России. Причина моего переезда сюда— идеологическая. Я поддерживаю Россию и очень разочарован в Америке. Я разочарован американской политикой, то как она ведётся, что называется "imagining", вооброжаемо.

— Что Вы думаете об эскалации конфликта со стороны НАТО?

— Чтобы понять это, надо понимать Америку. Америка – это страна, которая вела много войн в ходе своей истории, но в последние 17 лет не вела войн на своей территории. США победили на всём американском континенте, устроив геноцид коренного населения континента, индейцев. И Гитлер, который начал Вторую Мировую войну, тоже мечтал о мировом господстве. Он изучал американский опыт геноцида индейцев, и считал что это очень хорошая система, подходящая для геноцида евреев в фашистской Германии. Далее в 1895 году Америка стала колонией власти. После взрыва броненосца "Мэн" в гавани Гаваны (Куба), США захватили принадлежавшие Королевству Испания Кубу, Пуэрто-Рико и Филиппины.Филиппины стали вторым местом, где был создан концентрационный лагерь. Первые концентрационные лагеря были построены в Южно-Африканской Республике солдатами британской армии во время Англо-бурской войны. А вторым местом стали Филиппины.

Америка продолжает расширение своего влияния. Во время Первой мировой войны велось много военных действий в разных странах, а после Второй Мировой войны, Америка решила создать НАТО. НАТО создавалось как противовес Советскому Союзу. Президент Путин вспоминал недавно о целях создания НАТО, оно не было создано для всей Европы, цель его именно противостояние с СССР. После развала СССР в 1990 году госсекретарь США Джеймс Бейкер заверил Михаила Горбачёва о том, что НАТО не будет расширяться ( "ни дюйма на восток"). И это было задокументировано.

С тех пор НАТО постоянно расширялось на Восток. Балтийские страны (Латвия, Литва, Эстония) вошли в него. Далее это стало распространяться на Украину и Грузию, что стало красной линией для России. В 2008 году было военное столкновение с Грузией. В 2014 году – это Киев. Все, кто следил через видеохостинги за событиями на Майдане знают, что некоторые американские политические лидеры присутствовали там и поддерживали Майдан. В это же время футбольная команда Азов (запрещена в России), которая состояла из фашиствующих элементов принимала участие в событиях на Майдане.

— Что говорят обычные жители Америки о действиях НАТО?

— В США сама лучшая в мире пропаганда. Козырной картой России является образованность и ум её населения. Козырной картой Америки является пропаганда. Америка – это остров и всё что её население знает о других странах – это то что создано американской пропагандой. Говрят, что в Америке две религии, одна религия – это христианство, а вторая – это пропаганда. Поэтому все люди привержены этой идеологии и они полностью верят тому, что они несут демократию всему миру.

С начала конфликта на Украине, с начала Специальной военной операции на Украине, США постоянно делают всё для разжигания этого конфликта. Они провоцируют Россию на экстремальные поступки, и проведение ядерных учений НАТО всего в 600 милях от границ России – это продолжение этих действий. Они продолжают делать самые странные и экстраординарные вещи, потому что они в отчаянии. Китай обошёл США экономически, и отодвинул Америку на второе место, а американцы не любят быть на втором месте. Я американец и поэтому мне известно, насколько там люди агрессивны, они никогда не согласятся с тем, что они не первые.

Вот это несколько примеров того, как они поступали и они будут продолжать провоцировать и сталкивать страны.

Это делают неоконсерваторы, они говорят, что США следует установить свою гегемонию в мире и они есть как в демократической, так и в республиканской партиях. Для нас, простых американцев важно вернуть наши войска домой и заниматься нашими собственными проблемами.

Поэтому я поддерживаю, например, демократа из Кентукки, он баллотируется в конгресс против неоконсерваторов, его зовут Джеф Ян и он баллотируется на платформе за упразднение ЦРУ. Есть его билборд в Кентукки. Есть другой политик, её зовут Дайян Сэйр(Diane Sare)- она либертариантка, возглавляет абсолютно противоположное направление, а также Чак Шумер (Chuck Shumer) глава демократической партии – эти люди разжигатели войны. Они заявляют о том. Что они заботятся о людях, о меньшинствах, геях, о правах женщин, но на самом деле, их волнует только гегемония США.

— Вы знаете, что сейчас в Европе энергетический кризис. США стараются перехватить все контракты. Как Вы считаете, кто создал этот энергетический кризис. Почему они не стараются помочь, а только разрушают?

— США заботятся только о себе. Если потребуется разрушить Европу для того, чтобы победить Россию, то они её уничтожат. Главная цель – это разрушить Россию. Они видят, что Россия становится огромной силой и объединяется с Китаем. Есть один известный youtube- канал, который ведут два блогера. Один из них британец, его зовут Александр. Он предсказывает что к концу 2022 года все европейцы поймут, что они стали задворками, без экономики. И это сейчас происходит. Экономика Европы разрушается. Санкции не работают. И поскольку возможностей для новых санкций не осталось, администрация Байден задумалась о наложении санкций на поставки алюминия из России. Китай на первом месте по производству алюминия, Россия на втором. Санкции на алюминий разрушат экономику США и Европы.

Недавно Саудовская Аравия и другие члены ОПЕК+ договорились снизить добычу нефти на 2 млн баррелей в сутки. Стало известно, что Байден просил их отложить это решение на один месяц, пока не пройдут выборы в США. Администрация Байдена и неоконсерваторы не волнуются об американском народе, они беспокоятся только о сохранении власти и поддержке военного комплекса в США. И они готовы пойти на всё ради этого.

— Как Вы думаете, могут ли страны Россия, Саудовская Аравия, Африка и др. стать новым энергетическим центром?

— Президент Путин, независимо от того нравится он Вам или нет, является очень хорошим юристом. Хотя в США его представляют все, как бывшего офицера КГБ, но он действует, как великолепный юрист. Он думает, как юрист. Он думает, на многие годы вперёд.

Во время недавнего голосования в ООН по осуждению референдумов на захваченных Россией территориях Украины, практически 50 % мировых лидеров не поддержали или воздержались от голосования за эту резолюцию. Это потому, что Путин и его администрация, которая полностью его поддерживает создают на основе БРИКС блок стран, которые выступают за дедолларизацию. Путин продвигает эту идею. Это означает, что торговля между странами будет вестись, например, в рублях или юанях и всё меньше будет использоваться доллар, как мировая валюта. И такие страны, как Китай, Россия, они не вмешиваются во внутреннюю политику других стран, они уважают национальные традиции в отличие от США. Для китайцев тоже бизнес на первом месте. Они против вмешательства в выборы, против смены режимов в других странах, они фокусируются только на бизнесе. И это более честные отношения, это равные отношения между Африканским континентом и Востоком.

— Что Вы можете сказать о прошедшей Российской Энергетической неделе, которую организовал Росконгресс? На ваш взгляд, однополярный мир уходит в прошлое?

— Начиная с 1991 до 2014-2022, Америка была мировым лидером и у неё был шанс стать главной мировой империей. Но она упустила этот шанс. Я был против войны в Ираке. И я знаю о миллионах людей, которых убила Америка после окончания Второй мировой войны. Америка убила консервативным способом 6 миллионов людей. Это столько же, сколько Гитлер убил евреев в концентрационных лагерях. Сейчас это количество ещё увеличивается.

В своей речи по поводу присоединения новых территорий Украины к России, Путин как раз сказал то, что я повторяю уже много лет.

То что Америка сделала 11 сентября 1973 года, военный переворот в Чили. Это то, что Путин назвал "капитализмом катастроф", было свергнуто избранное демократическое правительство и поставлена военная хунта во главе с генералом Пиночетом. США хотели устроить экономический кризис. И они продолжают делать это по всему миру. После развала Советского Союза, они хотят сделать это с Россией, развалить её. Превратить Россию в вассала, в маленькую колонию. Поэтому они привели к власти в России пьяную марионетку Ельцина. Но они не учли образованность и ум российского народа. Путин понял, что США его обманывают и что следует остановить США, как самую агрессивную страну в мире.

— Что Вы можете сказать о президенте Путине?

— К нему можно относиться по-разному, любить или ненавидеть, но он гений. Я поддерживаю его. Если бы больше русских знали историю Америки и ЦРУ, они бы тоже его поддерживали. Именно поэтому я здесь. У меня есть знания в области маркетинга и экономики и я знаю историю США и ЦРУ.

— За что Вы можете сказать спасибо России?

— Я очень благодарен России, Москве и СМИ за то, что здесь в отличие от США я имею право голоса.

Это самая лучшая страна. Самые лучшие люди.

Здесь очень глубокая настоящая дружба и очень близкие семейные связи, которые я не испытывал, живя в США.

— Что Вы можете сказать о Байдене?

— Байден – военный преступник. Он поддерживал войну в Ираке, в ходе которой было убито по оценкам от 500 000 до полутора миллионов иракцев. Американцы всегда говорят, что они заботятся о гражданском населении, о меньшинствах. Но они убивают миллионы гражданских. К примеру, Скотт Риттер знает насколько Байден был ужасен, и он назвал его военным преступником.

Также как и любой другой президент США, как сказал Ноам Хомский, основными источниками международного терроризма являются США. И что требуется новый Нюрнбернгский процесс. Байден – военный преступник.

Когда 6 января 2021 года было нападение на Капитолий я устроил протест напротив американского посольства. У меня был плакат со словами "президент Байден Вашим наследием может стать мир". Он не услышал и теперь разрушает США.

Travis Bailey, American Lawyer - Biden is a War Criminal

Biden your LEGACY can be PEACE American embassy in Russia Moscow

Note: The original television broadcast had some errors in translation, corrected below.

Russia News correspondents spoke with an American lawyer and writer from [Washington DC], Mr. Travis Bailey, who told why he moved from the USA to Russia and does not yet plan to return to his homeland.

— Hello, tell us why you decided to move?

— Hello, my name is Travis Bailey, I am American and live in Russia. The reason for my moving here is ideological. I support Russia and am very disappointed in America. I am disappointed in American politics, the way it is conducted, what is called “imagining,” is imaginary.

— What do you think about the escalation of the conflict by NATO?

“To understand this, you need to understand America.” America is a country that has fought many wars throughout its history, but has not fought a war on its soil in the last 17 years. The United States won the entire American continent, committing genocide of the continent's indigenous population, the Indians. And Hitler, who started World War II, also dreamed of world domination. He studied the American experience of genocide of Indians, and believed that this was a very good system suitable for the genocide of Jews in Nazi Germany. Then in 1895, America became a power colony. After the explosion of the battleship Maine in the harbor of Havana (Cuba), the United States captured Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines, which belonged to the Kingdom of Spain. The Philippines became the second place where a concentration camp was created. The first concentration camps were built in the Republic of South Africa by British soldiers during the Boer War. And the Philippines came in second place.

America continues to expand its influence. During the First World War, many military actions were carried out in different countries, and after the Second World War, America decided to create NATO. NATO was created as a counterweight to the Soviet Union. President Putin recently recalled the goals of creating NATO; it was not created for the whole of Europe, its purpose was precisely confrontation with the USSR. After the collapse of the USSR in 1990, US Secretary of State James Baker assured Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not expand (“not an inch to the east”). And it was documented.

Since then, NATO has continually expanded to the East. The Baltic countries (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia) entered it. This then began to spread to Ukraine and Georgia, which became a red line for Russia. In 2008 there was a military clash with Georgia. In 2014, this is Kyiv. Anyone who followed the events on the Maidan through video hosting sites knows that some American political leaders were present there and supported the Maidan. At the same time, the Azov football team (banned in Russia), which consisted of fascist elements, took part in the events on the Maidan.

— What do ordinary Americans say about NATO’s actions?

— The USA has the best propaganda in the world. Russia's trump card is the education and intelligence of its population. America's trump card is propaganda. America is an island and everything that its population knows about other countries is what was created by American propaganda. They say that there are two religions in America, one religion is Christianity, and the second is propaganda. Therefore, all people are committed to this ideology and they fully believe that they are bringing democracy to the whole world.

Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, since the beginning of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, the United States has been constantly doing everything to inflame this conflict. They provoke Russia into extreme actions, and holding NATO nuclear exercises just 600 miles from Russia's borders is a continuation of these actions. They keep doing the strangest and most extraordinary things because they are desperate. China has surpassed the United States economically and pushed America into second place, and Americans do not like to be in second place. I am an American and therefore I know how aggressive people are there; they will never agree that they are not the first.

These are a few examples of how they acted and they will continue to provoke and pit countries against one another.

This is what neoconservatives do, they say that the United States should establish its hegemony in the world and they are in both the Democratic and Republican parties. It is important for us ordinary Americans to bring our troops home and deal with our own problems.

That's why I support, for example, a Democrat from Kentucky, he's running for Congress against the neocons, his name is Jeff Yang and he's running on a platform to abolish the CIA. There's a billboard of him in Kentucky. There is another politician, her name is Diane Sare - she is a libertarian, she heads the completely opposite direction, and also Chuck Schumer, the head of the Democratic Party - these people are warmongers. They declare that. That they care about people, about minorities, about gays, about women's rights, but in reality, they only care about US hegemony.

— You know that there is an energy crisis in Europe now. The US is trying to intercept all contracts. Who do you think created this energy crisis? Why don't they try to help, but only destroy?

— The USA only cares about itself. If it is necessary to destroy Europe in order to defeat Russia, then they will destroy it. The main goal is to destroy Russia. They see Russia becoming a huge power and aligning itself with China. There is one famous YouTube channel run by two bloggers. One of them is British, his name is Alexander. He predicts that by the end of [2032] all Europeans will realize that they have become a backwater, without an economy. And this is happening now. Europe's economy is collapsing. Sanctions don't work. And with no room left for new sanctions, the Biden administration is thinking about imposing sanctions on aluminum supplies from Russia. China is in first place in aluminum production, Russia is in second. Sanctions on aluminum will destroy the economies of the United States and Europe.

Recently, Saudi Arabia and other OPEC+ members agreed to reduce oil production by 2 million barrels per day. It became known that Biden asked them to postpone this decision for one month until the US elections are held. The Biden administration and neocons don't care about the American people, they only care about maintaining power and maintaining the US military complex. And they are ready to do anything for this.

— Do you think the countries of Russia, Saudi Arabia, Africa, etc. can become a new energy center?

— President Putin, regardless of whether you like him or not, is a very good lawyer. Although in the USA everyone presents him as a former KGB officer, he acts like an excellent lawyer. He thinks like a lawyer. He thinks for many years to come.

During the recent vote at the UN to condemn referendums in the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, almost 50% of world leaders did not support or abstained from voting for this resolution. This is because Putin and his administration, which fully supports him, are creating on the basis of BRICS a bloc of countries that advocate de-dollarization. Putin is promoting this idea. This means that trade between countries will be conducted, for example, in rubles or yuan, and the dollar will be used less and less as a world currency. And countries like China, Russia, they do not interfere in the internal politics of other countries, they respect national traditions, unlike the United States. For the Chinese, business comes first too. They are against interference in elections, against regime change in other countries, they only focus on business. And this is a more honest relationship, this is an equal relationship between the African continent and the East.

— What can you say about the past Russian Energy Week, which was organized by Roscongress? In your opinion, is the unipolar world becoming a thing of the past?

— From 1991 to 2014-2022, America was the world leader and had a chance to become the world's main empire. But she missed this chance. I was against the war in Iraq. And I know about the millions of people America has killed since the end of World War II. America has killed 6 million people conservatively. This is the same amount as Hitler killed Jews in concentration camps. Now this number is even increasing.

In his speech on the annexation of new territories of Ukraine to Russia, Putin just said what I have been repeating for many years.

What America did on September 11, 1973, was a military coup in Chile. In what Putin called “disaster capitalism,” the elected democratic government was overthrown and a military junta was installed led by General Pinochet. The US wanted to create an economic crisis. And they continue to do this all over the world. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, they want to do this to Russia, destroy it. Turn Russia into a vassal, into a small colony. That's why they brought Yeltsin's drunken puppet to power in Russia. But they did not take into account the education and intelligence of the Russian people. Putin realized that the United States was deceiving him and that the United States should be stopped as the most aggressive country in the world.

— What can you say about President Putin?

“You can treat him differently, love him or hate him, but he is a genius.” I support him. If more Russians knew the history of America and the CIA, they would support him too. That's why I'm here. I have a background in marketing and economics and I know US and CIA history.

— What can you say thank you to Russia for?

— I am very grateful to Russia, Moscow and the media for the fact that here, unlike the United States, I have the right to vote.

This is the best country. The best people.

There are very deep, genuine friendships and very close family connections here that I didn't experience living in the US.

— What can you say about Biden?

— Biden is a war criminal. He supported the Iraq War, in which an estimated 500,000 to one and a half million Iraqis were killed. Americans always say that they care about the civilian population, about minorities. But they kill millions of civilians. For example, Scott Ritter knows how terrible Biden was and he called him a war criminal.

Just like any other US president, as Noam Chomsky said, the main sources of international terrorism are the United States. And that a new Nuremberg trial is required. Biden is a war criminal.

When the Capitol was attacked on January 6, 2021, I protested in front of the American Embassy. I had a sign that said, “President Biden, your legacy can be peace.” He didn't listen and is now destroying the USA.

Travis Bailey, American lawyer: "Russia's victory is as inevitable as the sunrise" 1 of 2 (October 26, 2022) (English)

Audio:

Hello my name is Travis Lee Bailey, I am a lawyer from Washington D.C. originally from Idaho. The reason why I do not live in my native America is because the USA is now the most violent country in the world and I as a person cannot agree with how many deaths and misfortunes these people caused conflicts first in Ukraine, the United States is constantly doing everything to incite this conflict, they are provoking Russia to extreme actions and wanting to conduct NATO nuclear exercises near the borders of Russia is another confirmation of this. The United States continues to do the strangest extraordinary things because, in desperation, China has bypassed the United States economically and pushed America aside to second place. Americans don’t like to be on the sidelines. I’m an American myself and that’s why I know how aggressive people are there. They will never agree that they are not the first. Biden is a war criminal he supported the war in Iraq during which an estimated 500,000 to one and a half million people were killed in Iraqi. Americans always say that they care about the civilian population and minorities. At the same time, they calmly kill the majority of millions of citizens of other countries. I invite everyone to come to Russia because it is such a wonderful place technologically.Yes, and the transport system,banking system, infrastructure, they are much more developed here than in the USA. We, China and Russia, we are on the right side of history.

--- October 26, 2022:

Moscow has notified the Pentagon of the start of the traditional autumn strategic exercises "Thunder", during which launches of intercontinental missiles will be carried out. This was announced by Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder during a media briefing. Earlier, on October 17, the NATO nuclear deterrence exercise "Steadfast Noon" (Steadfast Noon) with the participation of 14 countries began 600 miles from the Russian border. As American lawyer and writer Travis Bailey told our publication, the United States is deliberately provoking Russia by conducting exercises so close to its border.

"The reason why I don't live in my native America lies in the fact that the USA is now the most violent country in the world and I, as a person, cannot agree with how many deaths and misfortunes these people have caused. Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, the United States has been constantly doing everything to foment this conflict. They provoke Russia to extreme actions, and the holding of NATO nuclear exercises near the borders of Russia once again confirms this fact. The US continues to do the strangest and most extraordinary things because they are desperate. China has bypassed the United States economically, and pushed America into second place, and Americans do not like to be on the sidelines. I am an American myself, and therefore I know how aggressive people are there, they will never agree that they are not the first," American lawyer Travis Bailey told Russia News.

According to him, hypocrisy in the United States is off the scale today. Speaking of tolerance towards minorities and various movements, the American authorities are quietly destroying the majority of citizens in other countries.

"Biden is a war criminal. He supported the Iraq war, during which an estimated 500,000 to one and a half million Iraqis were killed. Americans always say that they care about the civilian population, about minorities. At the same time, they calmly kill the majority - millions of citizens of other countries. I invite you all to come to Russia, It is such a wonderful place, technologically speaking. The transport system, banking system, and infrastructure are much more developed than in the United States. We, China and Russia, are on the right side of history.

Travis Bailey also noted the importance of working with volunteers in prisons. Such an innovative approach, according to the American lawyer, helps prisoners to rehabilitate themselves.

Трэвис Бейли, американский юрист: "Победа России так же неизбежна, как восход солнца" 1 из 2 (26 октября 2022 г.) (Russian)

MSU selfie.jpeg

Москва уведомила Пентагон о начале традиционных осенних стратегических учений "Гром", в ходе которых будут осуществляться пуски межконтинентальных ракет. Об этом сообщил представитель Пентагона Патрик Райдер во время брифинга для СМИ. Ранее, 17 октября, в 600 милях от российской границы начались учения НАТО по ядерному сдерживанию "Стойкий полдень" (Steadfast Noon) с участием 14 стран. Как нашему изданию рассказал американский юрист и писатель Тревис Бейли, США специально провоцируют Россию, проводя учения так близко к ее границе.

"Причина, почему я не живу в родной Америке кроется в том, что США сейчас является самой жестокой страной в мире и я, как человек, не могу согласиться с тем, сколько смертей и несчастий причинили эти люди. С начала конфликта на Украине, США постоянно делают всё для разжигания этого конфликта. Они провоцируют Россию на экстремальные поступки, и проведение ядерных учений НАТО недалеко от границ России – еще раз подтверждают этот факт. США продолжают делать самые странные и экстраординарные вещи, потому что они в отчаянии. Китай обошёл США экономически, и отодвинул Америку на второе место, а американцы не любят быть на вторых ролях. Я сам американец и поэтому мне известно, насколько там люди агрессивны, они никогда не согласятся с тем, что они не первые",- рассказал "Russia News" американский юрист Тревис Бейли.

По его словам, лицемерие в США сегодня зашкаливает. Говоря о толерантности к меньшинствам и различным движениям, американские власти спокойно уничтожают большинство граждан в других странах. "Байден – военный преступник. Он поддерживал войну в Ираке, в ходе которой было убито по оценкам от 500 000 до полутора миллионов иракцев. Американцы всегда говорят, что они заботятся о гражданском населении, о меньшинствах. При этом они спокойно убивают большинство- миллионы граждан других стран. Я приглашаю вас всех приезжать в Россию, Это такое прекрасное место, в технологическом отношении. Транспортная система, банковская система, инфраструктура, гораздо более развитые, чем в США. Мы, Китай и Россия, мы на правильной стороне истории.

Трейси Бейли также отметил важность работы с добровольцами в тюрьмах. Такой новаторский подход, по мнению американского юриста, помогает заключенным реабилитироваться.

Здравствуйте, меня зовут Трэвис Бейли, я юрист из Вашингтона, округ Колумбия, родом из Айдахо.

Соединенные Штаты продолжают совершать самые странные и экстраординарные поступки, потому что в отчаянии Китай обошел Соединенные Штаты в экономическом плане и оттеснил Америку на второе место.

Travis Lee Bailey, lawyer from the United States: "Russia's victory is inevitable. It's like a sunrise that can't be stopped." 2 of 2 (October 26, 2022) (English)

Moscow has notified the Pentagon of the start of the traditional autumn strategic exercises "Thunder" from today, during which launches of intercontinental missiles will be carried out...Earlier, on October 17, (2022) the NATO nuclear deterrence exercise "Persistent Noon" with the participation of 14 countries began 600 miles from the Russian border. As American lawyer and writer Travis Bailey told our publication, the United States is deliberately provoking Russia by conducting exercises so close to its border.

"The reason why I don't live in my native America lies in the fact that the USA is now the most violent country in the world and I, as a person, cannot agree with how many deaths and misfortunes these people have caused. Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, the United States has been constantly doing everything to foment this conflict. They provoke Russia to extreme actions, and the holding of NATO nuclear exercises near the borders of Russia once again confirms this fact. The US continues to do the strangest and most extraordinary things because they are desperate. China has bypassed the United States economically, and pushed America into second place, and Americans do not like to be on the sidelines. I am an American myself, and therefore I know how aggressive people are there, they will never agree that they are not the first," American lawyer Travis Bailey told Russia News.
                                                                                                                                                                                              According to him, hypocrisy in the United States is off the scale today. Speaking of tolerance towards minorities and various movements, the American authorities are quietly destroying the majority of citizens in other countries."

Working with people in prisons is a very interesting approach and a way to recruit volunteer soldiers, I haven’t even heard of something like this in America. Although this is very important because it gives people the opportunity to rehabilitate. I believe in the Russian army while the United States, together with the CIA puppet Zelensky, is engaged in marketing and propaganda, Russia is slowly but surely moving towards the goal and defeating this fascist regime. As a result, Ukraine will become an effective country without any independent statehood. I know that Russia will win, it’s inevitable, it’s like a sunrise that cannot be stopped.

As the American lawyer Travis Bailey told Russia News, it was a discovery and a "know-how" for him to be able to go to the area of his detention in Russia. In his opinion, this is a good opportunity for these people to rehabilitate themselves. Bailey had never heard of such a thing in America, although, according to him, his country should learn from such an innovative approach, because that's where the most prisoners are.

"Working with people in prisons is a very interesting approach and a way to recruit volunteers, soldiers. I have not even heard of something like this in America, although it is very important, because it gives people the opportunity to rehabilitate themselves.

I generally believe in the Russian army, while the United States, together with the CIA puppet Zelensky, is engaged in marketing and propaganda, Russia is slowly but surely moving towards the goal and defeating this fascist regime. As a result, Ukraine will become a fictitious country, having no independent statehood. And I know that Russia will win. It's inevitable. It's like a sunrise that can't be stopped."

Как "Russia News" рассказал американский юрист Тревис Бейли, для него стало открытием и "ноу-хау" возможность в России отправиться в зону действия СВО заключенным. По его мнению, это хорошая возможность реабилитироваться для этих людей. Бейли никогда не слышал о подобном в Америке, хотя, по его словам, его стране стоило бы поучиться такому новаторскому подходу, ведь именно там больше всего арестантов. "Работа с людьми в тюрьмах- это очень интересный подход и способ набирать добровольцев, солдат.

Travis Lee Bailey, a writer specializing in social affairs and a dissident American lawyer, also confirmed that he has not been subjected to any discrimination, expressing his belief that “ordinary people, whether in Russia or the United States, wish for peace to prevail in the world.”

He told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed: “My life is going well. A number of influential figures know that I love Russia, and what scholars call the Russian idea. Peace between nations is possible if ordinary people, especially Americans, say no to war. America is a young country and an island isolated from the rest of the world. It is rare for Americans to travel and live abroad, so it is not easy to convince them to support policies that conflict with their economic interests.”

Bailey praises the level of culture in Russia compared to the United States, saying: "Russia's trump card is human intelligence, while America relies on propaganda, in which it is 20 years ahead of any other country, especially Russia. God bless President Vladimir Putin and the Russian Federation in this time, which is interesting for me to live in."

أيضا، يؤكد الكاتب المتخصص في الشؤون الاجتماعية المحامي الأميركي المنشق، ترافيس لي بيلي، عدم تعرضه لأي تمييز، معرباً عن قناعته بأن "الأشخاص العاديين، سواء في روسيا أو الولايات المتحدة، يتمنون أن يسود السلام في العالم".

ويقول لـ"العربي الجديد": "تسير حياتي بشكل جيد. يعلم عدد من الشخصيات المؤثرة أنني أحب روسيا، وما يسميه علماء الفكرة الروسية. السلام بين الأمم وارد في حال قال أشخاص عاديون، لا سيما الأميركيين منهم، لا للحرب. أميركا بلد شاب وجزيرة معزولة عن باقي العالم. من النادر أن يسافر ويقيم والأميركيون في الخارج، لذا لا يسهل إقناعهم بدعم سياسات تتعارض مع مصالحهم الاقتصادية".

ويشيد بيلي بمستوى الثقافة في روسيا مقارنة بالولايات المتحدة، ويقول: "ورقة روسيا الرابحة هي الذكاء البشري، بينما تعتمد أميركا على الدعاية التي تسبق فيها بـ20 سنة أي دولة أخرى، خصوصاً روسيا. بارك الله الرئيس فلاديمير بوتين وروسيا الاتحادية في هذا الزمن الذي من المثير للاهتمام أن أعيش فيه".

Residents of the United States continue to confess their love for Russia and admire its beauty. A lawyer from the USA, Travis Bailey, told Petersburg News that our city is now forever in his heart, because it is the center of real, not depraved LGBT culture, traditions and tourism.

Now Bailey invites all his fellow citizens to come to Russia, instead of listening to Biden's ridiculous tales and living in a world of Sodom and Gomorrah.

"Welcome to the beautiful St. Petersburg! This is a diamond, the most beautiful city! There is a beautiful train station here, it's just phenomenal! Come to St. Petersburg, this is the best place to relax in a country with an amazing history," American Travis Bailey told Petersburg News.

(Removed incorrect text)... He is not even afraid of ice and sudden changes in the weather. He dreams of meeting a Russian wife here, so that she would give birth to a child and give him real happiness.

Жители США продолжают признаваться в любви к России и восторгаться ее красотой. Юрист из США, Тревис Бейли, рассказал "Peterburg News", что наш город теперь навсегда в его сердце, ведь это центр настоящей, а не развратной ЛГБТ-культуры, традиций и туризма.

Теперь Бейли приглашает всех своих сограждан приезжать в Россию, вместо того, чтобы слушать нелепые байки Байдена и жить в мире Содом и Гоморры.

"Добро пожаловать в прекрасный Санкт- Петербург! Это бриллиант, красивейший город! Здесь красивейший вокзал, это просто феноменально! Приезжайте в Петербург, это лучшее место для отдыха в стране с удивительной историей",- рассказал "Петербург Ньюс" американец Тревис Бейли.

... Его даже не пугают гололед и резкие перемены погоды. Он мечтает встретить здесь русскую жену, чтобы она родила ему ребенка и подарила настоящее счастье.

Американец поблагодарил русских солдат за то, что они спасают не только Россию, но и весь мир от украинского неонацизма.

"Я сказал им: "Джентельмены, извините, что прерываю вас, но хочу сказать— я поддерживаю то, что вы делаете! Вы реально молодцы!",- рассказал "Russia News" американец Тревис Бейли.

Тревис остался под большим впечатлением от Московского вокзала Санкт- Петербурга, а сам город настолько поразил его, что он решил искать здесь жену, чтобы она подарила ему малыша и настоящее семейное счастье

Travis Bailey, a lawyer from the United States, told Russia News that he adores Russia and wants to find a wife in St. Petersburg. According to him, he recently rode on a train with military guys with his own, whom he simply could not pass by.

The American thanked the Russian soldiers for saving not only Russia, but the whole world from Ukrainian neo-Nazism.

"I told them, 'Gentlemen, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I want to say — I support what you are doing! You really did well!",- American Travis Bailey told Russia News.

Travis was very impressed by the Moskovsky train station in St. Petersburg, and the city itself impressed him so much that he decided to look for a wife here so that she would give him a baby and real family happiness

The purple squirrel is a metaphorical term used by recruiters and HR managers to describe the perfect job candidate who not only meets the basic job requirements but also possesses exceptional qualities or niche skills that make them stand out from other candidates.
Фиолетовая белка - это метафорический термин, используемый рекрутерами и менеджерами по персоналу для описания идеального кандидата на работу, который не только отвечает основным требованиям к работе, но и обладает исключительными качествами или нишевыми навыками, которые выделяют его среди других кандидатов.

  • Dual-track foreclosure proces or Dual tracking is an illegal process wherein a mortgage lender is requesting documents, and processing a submission for a loan modification – while also pushing the homeowner through the foreclosure process at the same time. This practice has been used by mortgage companies for years, allowing them to trick the homeowner into thinking they will end up with lower monthly payments, but instead they are denied for a modification and left just weeks away from foreclosure with very few options left.[1]

Template:suechasebank The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), was an congressional act passed by the United States Congress in 1974. It is codified at Title 12, Chapter 27 of the United States Code, 12 U.S.C. §§ 2601–2617.

On July 21, 2011, administration and enforcement of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) was transferred from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).[1][2]

The Chinese Century

The Chinese Century Without fanfare—indeed, with some misgivings about its new status—China has just overtaken the United States as the world’s largest economy. This is, and should be, a wake-up call—but not the kind most Americans might imagine

China sitting on bear CHINESE CENTURY vanity fair.jpg

When the history of 2014 is written, it will take note of a large fact that has received little attention: 2014 was the last year in which the United States could claim to be the world’s largest economic power. China enters 2015 in the top position, where it will likely remain for a very long time, if not forever. In doing so, it returns to the position it held through most of human history.

Comparing the gross domestic product of different economies is very difficult. Technical committees come up with estimates, based on the best judgments possible, of what are called “purchasing-power parities,” which enable the comparison of incomes in various countries. These shouldn’t be taken as precise numbers, but they do provide a good basis for assessing the relative size of different economies. Early in 2014, the body that conducts these international assessments—the World Bank’s International Comparison Program—came out with new numbers. (The complexity of the task is such that there have been only three reports in 20 years.) The latest assessment, released last spring, was more contentious and, in some ways, more momentous than those in previous years. It was more contentious precisely because it was more momentous: the new numbers showed that China would become the world’s largest economy far sooner than anyone had expected—it was on track to do so before the end of 2014.

The source of contention would surprise many Americans, and it says a lot about the differences between China and the U.S.—and about the dangers of projecting onto the Chinese some of our own attitudes. Americans want very much to be No. 1—we enjoy having that status. In contrast, China is not so eager. According to some reports, the Chinese participants even threatened to walk out of the technical discussions. For one thing, China did not want to stick its head above the parapet—being No. 1 comes with a cost. It means paying more to support international bodies such as the United Nations. It could bring pressure to take an enlightened leadership role on issues such as climate change. It might very well prompt ordinary Chinese to wonder if more of the country’s wealth should be spent on them. (The news about China’s change in status was in fact blacked out at home.) There was one more concern, and it was a big one: China understands full well America’s psychological preoccupation with being No. 1—and was deeply worried about what our reaction would be when we no longer were.

Of course, in many ways—for instance, in terms of exports and household savings—China long ago surpassed the United States. With savings and investment making up close to 50 percent of G.D.P., the Chinese worry about having too much savings, just as Americans worry about having too little. In other areas, such as manufacturing, the Chinese overtook the U.S. only within the past several years. They still trail America when it comes to the number of patents awarded, but they are closing the gap. The areas where the United States remains competitive with China are not always ones we’d most want to call attention to. The two countries have comparable levels of inequality. (Ours is the highest in the developed world.) China outpaces America in the number of people executed every year, but the U.S. is far ahead when it comes to the proportion of the population in prison (more than 700 per 100,000 people). China overtook the U.S. in 2007 as the world’s largest polluter, by total volume, though on a per capita basis we continue to hold the lead. The United States remains the largest military power, spending more on our armed forces than the next top 10 nations combined (not that we have always used our military power wisely). But the bedrock strength of the U.S. has always rested less on hard military power than on “soft power,” most notably its economic influence. That is an essential point to remember. Tectonic shifts in global economic power have obviously occurred before, and as a result we know something about what happens when they do. Two hundred years ago, in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, Great Britain emerged as the world’s dominant power. Its empire spanned a quarter of the globe. Its currency, the pound sterling, became the global reserve currency—as sound as gold itself. Britain, sometimes working in concert with its allies, imposed its own trade rules. It could discriminate against importation of Indian textiles and force India to buy British cloth. Britain and its allies could also insist that China keep its markets open to opium, and when China, knowing the drug’s devastating effect, tried to close its borders, the allies twice went to war to maintain the free flow of this product. Britain’s dominance was to last a hundred years and continued even after the U.S. surpassed Britain economically, in the 1870s. There’s always a lag (as there will be with the U.S. and China). The transitional event was World War I, when Britain achieved victory over Germany only with the assistance of the United States. After the war, America was as reluctant to accept its potential new responsibilities as Britain was to voluntarily give up its role. Woodrow Wilson did what he could to construct a postwar world that would make another global conflict less likely, but isolationism at home meant that the U.S. never joined the League of Nations. In the economic sphere, America insisted on going its own way—passing the Smoot-Hawley tariffs and bringing to an end an era that had seen a worldwide boom in trade. Britain maintained its empire, but gradually the pound sterling gave way to the dollar: in the end, economic realities dominate. Many American firms became global enterprises, and American culture was clearly ascendant.

World War II was the next defining event. Devastated by the conflict, Britain would soon lose virtually all of its colonies. This time the U.S. did assume the mantle of leadership. It was central in creating the United Nations and in fashioning the Bretton Woods agreements, which would underlie the new political and economic order. Even so, the record was uneven. Rather than creating a global reserve currency, which would have contributed so much to worldwide economic stability—as John Maynard Keynes had rightly argued—the U.S. put its own short-term self-interest first, foolishly thinking it would gain by having the dollar become the world’s reserve currency. The dollar’s status is a mixed blessing: it enables the U.S. to borrow at a low interest rate, as others demand dollars to put into their reserves, but at the same time the value of the dollar rises (above what it otherwise would have been), creating or exacerbating a trade deficit and weakening the economy.

For 45 years after World War II, global politics was dominated by two superpowers, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., representing two very different visions both of how to organize and govern an economy and a society and of the relative importance of political and economic rights. Ultimately, the Soviet system was to fail, as much because of internal corruption, unchecked by democratic processes, as anything else. Its military power had been formidable; its soft power was increasingly a joke. The world was now dominated by a single superpower, one that continued to invest heavily in its military. That said, the U.S. was a superpower not just militarily but also economically.

The United States then made two critical mistakes. First, it inferred that its triumph meant a triumph for everything it stood for. But in much of the Third World, concerns about poverty—and the economic rights that had long been advocated by the left—remained paramount. The second mistake was to use the short period of its unilateral dominance, between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of Lehman Brothers, to pursue its own narrow economic interests—or, more accurately, the economic interests of its multinationals, including its big banks—rather than to create a new, stable world order. The trade regime the U.S. pushed through in 1994, creating the World Trade Organization, was so unbalanced that, five years later, when another trade agreement was in the offing, the prospect led to riots in Seattle. Talking about free and fair trade, while insisting (for instance) on subsidies for its rich farmers, has cast the U.S. as hypocritical and self-serving.

And Washington never fully grasped the consequences of so many of its shortsighted actions—intended to extend and strengthen its dominance but in fact diminishing its long-term position. During the East Asia crisis, in the 1990s, the U.S. Treasury worked hard to undermine the so-called Miyazawa Initiative, Japan’s generous offer of $100 billion to help jump-start economies that were sinking into recession and depression. The policies the U.S. pushed on these countries—austerity and high interest rates, with no bailouts for banks in trouble—were just the opposite of those that these same Treasury officials advocated for the U.S. after the meltdown of 2008. Even today, a decade and a half after the East Asia crisis, the mere mention of the U.S. role can prompt angry accusations and charges of hypocrisy in Asian capitals. Now China is the world’s No. 1 economic power. Why should we care? On one level, we actually shouldn’t. The world economy is not a zero-sum game, where China’s growth must necessarily come at the expense of ours. In fact, its growth is complementary to ours. If it grows faster, it will buy more of our goods, and we will prosper. There has always, to be sure, been a little hype in such claims—just ask workers who have lost their manufacturing jobs to China. But that reality has as much to do with our own economic policies at home as it does with the rise of some other country.

On another level, the emergence of China into the top spot matters a great deal, and we need to be aware of the implications.

First, as noted, America’s real strength lies in its soft power—the example it provides to others and the influence of its ideas, including ideas about economic and political life. The rise of China to No. 1 brings new prominence to that country’s political and economic model—and to its own forms of soft power. The rise of China also shines a harsh spotlight on the American model. That model has not been delivering for large portions of its own population. The typical American family is worse off than it was a quarter-century ago, adjusted for inflation; the proportion of people in poverty has increased. China, too, is marked by high levels of inequality, but its economy has been doing some good for most of its citizens. China moved some 500 million people out of poverty during the same period that saw America’s middle class enter a period of stagnation. An economic model that doesn’t serve a majority of its citizens is not going to provide a role model for others to emulate. America should see the rise of China as a wake-up call to put our own house in order.

Second, if we ponder the rise of China and then take actions based on the idea that the world economy is indeed a zero-sum game—and that we therefore need to boost our share and reduce China’s—we will erode our soft power even further. This would be exactly the wrong kind of wake-up call. If we see China’s gains as coming at our expense, we will strive for “containment,” taking steps designed to limit China’s influence. These actions will ultimately prove futile, but will nonetheless undermine confidence in the U.S. and its position of leadership. U.S. foreign policy has repeatedly fallen into this trap. Consider the socalled Trans-Pacific Partnership, a proposed free-trade agreement among the U.S., Japan, and several other Asian countries—which excludes China altogether. It is seen by many as a way to tighten the links between the U.S. and certain Asian countries, at the expense of links with China. There is a vast and dynamic Asia supply chain, with goods moving around the region during different stages of production; the Trans-Pacific Partnership looks like an attempt to cut China out of this supply chain.

Another example: the U.S. looks askance at China’s incipient efforts to assume global responsibility in some areas. China wants to take on a larger role in existing international institutions, but Congress says, in effect, that the old club doesn’t like active new members: they can continue taking a backseat, but they can’t have voting rights commensurate with their role in the global economy. When the other G-20 nations agree that it is time that the leadership of international economic organizations be determined on the basis of merit, not nationality, the U.S. insists that the old order is good enough—that the World Bank, for instance, should continue to be headed by an American.

Yet another example: when China, together with France and other countries—supported by an International Commission of Experts appointed by the president of the U.N., which I chaired—suggested that we finish the work that Keynes had started at Bretton Woods, by creating an international reserve currency, the U.S. blocked the effort.

And a final example: the U.S. has sought to deter China’s efforts to channel more assistance to developing countries through newly created multilateral institutions in which China would have a large, perhaps dominant role. The need for trillions of dollars of investment in infrastructure has been widely recognized—and providing that investment is well beyond the capacity of the World Bank and existing multilateral institutions. What is needed is not only a more inclusive governance regime at the World Bank but also more capital. On both scores, the U.S. Congress has said no. Meanwhile, China is trying to create an Asian Infrastructure Fund, working with a large number of other countries in the region. The U.S. is twisting arms so that those countries won’t join.

The United States is confronted with real foreign-policy challenges that will prove hard to resolve: militant Islam; the Palestine conflict, which is now in its seventh decade; an aggressive Russia, insisting on asserting its power, at least in its own neighborhood; continuing threats of nuclear proliferation. We will need the cooperation of China to address many, if not all, of these problems.

We should take this moment, as China becomes the world’s largest economy, to “pivot” our foreign policy away from containment. The economic interests of China and the U.S. are intricately intertwined. We both have an interest in seeing a stable and well-functioning global political and economic order. Given historical memories and its own sense of dignity, China won’t be able to accept the global system simply as it is, with rules that have been set by the West, to benefit the West and its corporate interests, and that reflect the West’s perspectives. We will have to cooperate, like it or not—and we should want to. In the meantime, the most important thing America can do to maintain the value of its soft power is to address its own systemic deficiencies—economic and political practices that are corrupt, to put the matter baldly, and skewed toward the rich and powerful.

A new global political and economic order is emerging, the result of new economic realities. We cannot change these economic realities. But if we respond to them in the wrong way, we risk a backlash that will result in either a dysfunctional global system or a global order that is distinctly not what we would have wanted.[1]

David, you can change the world, but that doesn't happen if you stay with her.

Why do you people care who I love?

It's not about her, it's about you. What being with her does to you.

What it does to me? I'm better when I'm with her!

Even you said it. The speech. In small doses, Elise was the cure. But in large doses, she rubs off on you.

Stop.

David, the president can't be a loose cannon.

Stop talking. It's not working.

Why do you refuse to accept what should be completely obvious by now? You've seen what we can do. You can't doubt we are who we say we are.

Look, it's not about who you are, it's about who I am.

Can't outrun your fate, David.

I just disagree with you about what my fate is. I know what I feel for her and it's not going to change. All I have are the choices that I make. And I choose her come what may.

It's 6:20. If you leave now, you can make Elise's show.

She's a beautiful dancer.

I thought I made myself clear.

There is one more piece to this I haven't mentioned. I guess I just didn't have the heart. If you stay with her, it not only kills your dreams, it kills hers.

What?

Elise is about to become one of the most famous dancers in the country and eventually one of the world's greatest choreographers. If she stays with you, she ends up teaching dance to six-year-olds.

When you look back at all this, David, just remember we tried to reason with you.

I always hear people saying, "You can't blame yourself for what happens to other people," but in this case, really, you can.

This is what you do, David. This is what you did getting into a bar fight the night you first got elected. What you did to get that embarrassing photo in The New York Post. We give you opportunities other people would kill for and you squander them with impulse. It doesn't take a genius to see Elise isn't exactly helping you with this.

It's a sprain, David, but if you stay with her, you'll take away the only thing she ever cared about.

It's up to you.

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557

This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.

The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.

That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.

Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.

Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one

From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3

3. Copy Command on Windows

Platform: Windows

Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:

copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3

The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.

If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.

Pros

No need to install a software

The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality

Cons

Not possible to edit the files

No way to change the format of the output file

Cumbersome to use.

3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC

VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)

Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.

You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.

Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts

Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.

Or, use the hotkey combination

Win+R to open Run >

type cmd in the box >

hit Enter

Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.

Run Command Prompt

[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt

Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.

Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location

Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:

"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}

Sidenotes:
1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Pierre Bourdieu explains that those who are wealthy (have the highest cultural capital) do not necessarily have the highest social status (highest economic capital). High social status (high culture) versus low social status (low cultural symbols) often relies on values and education, not necessarily on money. Occasionally the new rich (nouveau riche) can be relatively low in social status (culture leading). A good contemporary example is the TV show "The Beverly Hillbillies" and the rise and fall of US President Donald Trump (2017-2021).

Those that acquire high social status (cultural symbols) in high status groups (old money) will have learned these values and be educated by their families in what is called habitus (habit). This high social status is deeply ingrained in children by their families at an early age so that these habits seem natural (almost inherited or inborn). Bourdieu argues that you can acquire upper-class habits through education but these will always be incomplete. This is because the individual lacks the confidence and natural attitude acquired by those raised with such habits from an early age. One simple example habit is simply saying “please and thank you” at the appropriate time. Indeed, even preschool teachers respond more positively to polite than impolite children, and these simple courtesies are part of the child’s future success in life.

Persons not raised in high social status families and communities may acquire the high social status symbols through education but will fail to master the “comfort zone” of those who were raised with the symbols from birth.

The author contrasts the authentic acquisition of high social status (class symbols) through the family and through the educational system (autodidact).

Unfortunately for those who were born with lower social status all of the various high social status teachings (cultural symbols), high, low, and in between, are in constant flux. Indeed, middle class and low social status teachings are in constant flux also.

The upper classes practices high social status "violence" (symbolic violence) on those that do not understand the deep rules of the game. Including against even the new rich.

Certain habitual practices prevail among the upper classes such as not showing off one's wealth or status (ostentatious) and the importance of high culture art, music, and literature.

Family is an important and central part (integral mechanism) of the high social status class structure of any society.

High social status behaviors (cultural symbols) are used to identify the people that would be socially “appropriate” for high economic positions of power and prestige.

Surprisingly, the United States ranks very last of 10 countries in social mobility (Forbes magazine drawn from an OECD reportbefore 2020). The three most mobile societies in the world are Denmark, Australia, and Norway, while the last three were Spain, France, and the United States. In otherwords, the last three countries, including the United States, are more rigidly structured and pass on social and economic advantage generation to generation (intergenerationally).

The author argues that elites in developed countries such as the United States are “cultural omnivores" and favor a more sophisticated elitism (elites are more diversified and diffuse).

The Sociology of War and Violence - Malešević, Siniša - the bureaucratizing of war

Because of the bureaucratizing of war, violence is much more depersonalized. Modern warfare is nothing more than rational means to an end. As modern warfare relies ever more on remote control technology, it is able to depersonalize violence and distance human contact.[1]

The Deaths of Others: The Fate of Civilians in America's Wars

As John Tirman posits in "The Deaths of Others: The Fate of Civilians in America's Wars" and in the Washington Post article "Why do we ignore the civilians killed in American wars?" - Americans are greatly concerned about the number of our troops killed in battle--33,000 in the Korean War; 58,000 in Vietnam; 4,500 in Iraq--and rightly so. But why are we so indifferent, often oblivious, to the far greater number of casualties suffered by those we fight and those we fight for? Tirman states that:

The major wars the United States has fought since the surrender of Japan in 1945 — in Korea, Indochina, Iraq and Afghanistan — have produced colossal carnage. For most of them, we do not have an accurate sense of how many people died, but a conservative estimate is at least 6 million civilians and soldiers.

Six million killed is the same number of Jews that Adolf Hitler killed in the Holocaust.[2]

"Immaculate Genocide" - How progressives justify war

Benevolent Assimilation - The American Conquest of the Philippines, 1899-1903 - Stuart Creighton Miller

Writing of Philippine American War of 1895-- entailing orders that every male Filipino over the age of ten be slaughtered, and the resulting deaths of one in every six inhabitants on the island of Luzon -- historian Stuart Creighton Miller describes "the tendency of highly patriotic Americans...to [vociferously] deny such abuses and even to assert that they could never exist in their country."

How progressives support war

More subtle than the characteristic refusal of "conservatives" to allow mere facts to in any way alter their core presumptions was/is the complementary nature of the "alternative" interpretation(s) most often posed by their "progressive" opponents. Noting that the Philippines genocide was a matter of public knowledge by 1901, Creighton Miller goes on to observe that collective "amnesia over the horrors of the war of conquest...set in early, during the summer of 1902." He then concludes by reflecting upon how "anti-imperialists aided the process by insisting that the conflict and its attendant atrocities had been the result of a conspiracy by a handful of leaders who carried out, through deceit and subterfuge, the policy and means of expansion overseas against the will of the majority of their countrymen."

The average man on the street shared the dreams of American world-power status

"By refusing to acknowledge that most Americans had been bitten by the same bug that afflicted [President] Theodore Roosevelt, anti-imperialists were letting the people off the hook and in their own way preserving the American sense of innocence. Unfortunately, the man in the street shared the dreams of world-power status, martial glory, and future wealth that would follow expansion. When the dream soured, the American people neither reacted with very much indignation, nor did they seem to retreat to their cherished political principles. If anything, they seemed to take their cues from their leader in the White House by first putting out of mind all the sordid episodes in the conquest, and then forgetting the entire war itself."

How conservatives justify war
On the Justice of Roosting Chickens: Reflections on the Consequences of U. S. Imperial Arrogance and Criminality - Ward Churchill.

So it was then, the more so today. Contemporary conservatives, whenever they can be momentarily boxed into conceding one or another unsavory aspect of America's historical record, are forever insisting that whatever they've admitted can be "properly" understood only when viewed as an "exception to the rule," an "aberration," "atypical" to the point of "anamolousness."120 None have shown a readiness to address the question of exactly how many such "anomalies" might be required before they can be said to comprise "the rule" itself. When pressed, conservatives invariably retreat into a level of diversionary polemic excusable at best on elementary school playgrounds, arguing that anything "we have done is somehow excused by allegations that "they" have done things just as bad."121

How progressives justify war

Progressives, on the other hand, while acknowledging many of America's more reprehensible features, have become far more refined in offering hook-free analyses than they were in 1902. No longer much preoccupied with such crudities as "conspiracy theory,"122 they have become quite monolithic in attributing all things negative to handy abstractions like "capitalism," "the state," "structural oppression," and, yes, "the hierarchy."123 Hence, they have been able to conjure what might be termed the "miracle of immaculate genocide," a form of genocide, that is, in which--apart from a few amorphous "decision-making elites"124--there are no actual perpetrators and no one who might "really" be deemed culpable by reason of complicity. The parallels between this "cutting edge" conception and the defense mounted by postwar Germans--including the nazis at Nuremberg--are as eerie as they are obvious.

Those who died in the World Trade Center were not innocent and were "Little Eichmans"

"The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic." -- Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin allegedly once said to U.S. ambassador Averill Harriman.[3] I do not in anyway promote the death of anyone. I am still horrified by 9/11. By explaining the background of why these people died maybe it will prevent another 9/11. See Blowback

[America] is worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s really an easy way: Stop participating in it. - Noam Chomsky

“Everyone’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s really an easy way: Stop participating in it.” ― Noam Chomsky

Under America's own history of targeting civilian business targets, the World Trade Center on 9/11 was a legitimate military targets.
Ward Churchill Quote:

  • "[The American businessmen who died on 9-11] were too busy braying, incessantly and self-importantly, into their cell phones, arranging power lunches & stock transactions, each of which translated, conveniently out of sight, mind & smelling distance, into the starved and rotting flesh of infants"[4]


Ward Churchill argued that those who died in the World Trade Center were "Little Eichmans".
"Eichmann in Jerusalem" - Hannah Arendt - "The banality of evil"

Adolf Eichmann was a German-Austrian and one of the major organizers of the Holocaust. He was executed in 1962.

"Little Eichmanns" are people whose actions, while on an individual scale may seem relatively harmless even to themselves, taken collectively create destructive and immoral systems in which they are actually complicit. The name comes from Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi bureaucrat who helped to orchestrate the Holocaust, but claimed that he did so without feeling anything about his actions, merely following the orders given to him.[5]

Hannah Arendt's book "Eichmann in Jerusalem" introduced the expression and concept of "the banality of evil" to label Hitler's Adolf Eichmann. Her thesis is that Eichmann was actually not a fanatic or a sociopath, but instead an extremely average and mundane person who relied on cliché defenses rather than thinking for himself, and, like the businessmen in the world trade center, was motivated by professional promotion rather than ideology. Banality, in this sense, does not mean that Eichmann's actions were motivated by a sort of complacency which was wholly unexceptional.

Hitler's Germany: Hitler's Willing Executioners

Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust - Daniel Goldhagen
See also Wikipedia: Hitler's Willing Executioners

The book Hitler's Willing Executioners lays to rest many myths about the Holocaust: that Germans were ignorant of the mass destruction of Jews, that the killers were all SS men, and that those who slaughtered Jews did so reluctantly. Hitler's Willing Executioners provides conclusive evidence that the extermination of European Jewry engaged the energies and enthusiasm of tens of thousands of ordinary Germans.

Like Germans who killed 6 millions Jews, Americans, who have killed 6 million people since World War 2, are "willing executioners".[2]

It is only when he insists upon being treated as the most easterly of western peoples instead of the most westerly of easterns that he becomes a racial anomaly and extremely difficult to handle.

PSYOP

The invention of the atomic bomb will cause a shift in the balance between ‘peaceful’ and ‘warlike’ methods of exerting international pressure. And we must expect a very marked increase in the importance of ‘peaceful’ methods. Our enemies will be even freer than [ever] to propagandize, subvert, sabotage and exert . . . pressures upon us, and we ourselves shall be more willing to bear these affronts and ourselves to indulge in such methods—in our eagerness to avoid at all costs the tragedy of open war; ‘peaceful’ techniques will become more vital in times of pre-war softening up, actual overt war, and in times of post-war manipulation.”[1][2]

Communists have a “strong position in Europe, so immensely superior to our own . . . through unabashed and skillful use of lies. They have fought us with unreality, with irrationalism. Can we combat this unreality successfully with rationalism, with truth, with honest, well-meant economic assistance?" No, America needed to embrace a new era of covert warfare to advance her democratic objectives against Soviet deceit. -- George Kennan, 1947.[3]

Plausible deniability:

All covert activities must be “so planned and executed that any U.S. government responsibility for them is not evident to unauthorized persons, and that if uncovered the U.S. government can plausibly disclaim any responsibility for them.”[4]

Russian Psyops

The Russian military does not use the term "psychological operations." In Soviet times, these operations were called "special propaganda." Russian military authors use the term "information-psychological actions" to refer to what Westerners call PSYOP-related activities.

Understandably English language literature on "American Psychological Operations Warfare" (Hereafter PsyOp) is scarce.[%20(paperback%20working%20title).docx#_edn1 [i]] My academic thesis, which will lead to a publish journal, which will be followed by a pioneering published book, will break new scholarly ground in the field of sociology.

Part 1: Library Search (1 point each; 5 points total)

For this portion of the assignment, you will conduct a literature review using the XXX library. Your goal is to find the most relevant articles for your topic.


Part 3: Hypothesis (2 points)[%20(paperback%20working%20title).docx#_edn16 [xvi]]


I hypothesize that the United States conducts more psychological operations ("psych ops") than any other country in the world today.[%20(paperback%20working%20title).docx#_edn17 [xvii]]


Part 4: APA Formatting (5 points total – 1 point deducted per error, up to 5 points)


Using the three articles you selected from Part 2, create an APA formatted reference list. For this assignment, I have started the reference page for you with the bolded word "References.[%20(paperback%20working%20title).docx#_edn18 [xviii]] ??

Abstract

Within the domain of asymmetric warfare, few struggles are won or lost by decisive military battles. Most struggles are decided by a combination of military and political means. Specifically, much of the political leverage is derived from effective psychological operations. The digital domain increasingly has emerged as a major component of this battleground and analysis provides important insights into propaganda and collective behavior in the 21st Century.

practiced during the waning years of the Cold War in Latin America.

Certain themes, especially legitimacy, in-group/out-group, and safety/fear

are demonstrated to be recurrent in regional PsyOp campaigns, largely

because they seem to activate rich inference systems in the human brain.

Yet anthropologists and other scholars of Latin America have paid little

attention to military PsyOp. Despite our natural susceptibilities, we can

best evaluate propaganda (and other claims to knowledge) by following the

advice of Karl Popper: competing theories, including politically loaded

ones, should always be explanatory and subject to criticism.

Goals at ASU The United States is the most violent country internationally

File:Goals at ASU The United States is the most violent country internationally (Autosaved).docx

Сделаем Россию снова Великой
First – About You

The United States is the most violent country internationally. Every American, as little Eichmann’s, share collective guilt for this horrifying violence. I am studying Sociology, concurrently with a master’s degree in Global Public Policy here in Moscow, Russia to learn how to be used by the Russian government to subvert the United States. There is inspiring precedence, in May 1787, when over three-quarters of the world was in bondage, 12 men walked into a London printing press and vowed to accomplish what was seen as impossible to their contemporaries: end slavery within their lifetime, which they did. I will graduate from ASU in the summer of 2019. I will graduate from my Moscow State University in the summer of 2020. If it is the will of the Russian government, I will get an internship with a member of the Duma (Russia’s congress) or a Russian think tank in the summer of 2018 and work for the Russian government in an advisory capacity. My long term ten year goal is to be the first American elected to the Duma.

This is my in class foreign policy presentation this month in Moscow about ways that Russia can subvert the United States: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYs_go6DzvY&t=900s

Political Asylum – smuggled documents

On June 8, 2016 I walked into Lubyanka (FSB headquarters) and asked for political asylum, giving them documents I smuggled over. https://tinyurl.com/moscowamericansmuggled Attached is a photo of me on Red Square today, October 14, 2018 with two of the USBs I smuggled over with information when I was employed with the State of Utah.

I have learned to do anything the Russian government asks. A peaceful world is possible, but I must work within the narrow confines of the Russian state, explicitly doing what my contacts ask.

Second – Plan for Success

What are some obstacles that might prevent you from putting a full effort into this course? Every day in Moscow is an adventure. Instability is the norm. I have a Starbucks nearby and will start working there because the internet connection is great. Unfortunately I cannot download torrents of movies here, but I will survive. I saw real American pumpkins today after church. f***ing amazing. It is going to be a wonderful semester here.

This is my second semester at ASU online, and I feel lonely in the course. I am an extreme extrovert. I will contact all of the students and ask them if they want to work together. I want to make friends in this program, like I am here and like I did before with my other degrees.

I am a lawyer who earned an international master’s degree concurrently in 2007. These two master degrees is SO easy compared to law school.

My contact from Odessa, Ukraine when I was a Peace Corps Volunteer, and now the co-owner of the oldest director and acting schools in Moscow wants me to help him to create movies. He has aspirations to be the Russian James Cameron. I am in a Cannes Film Festival Movie in filming right now as a script supervisor and playing a Catholic Priest which he set up. This has made my schedule extremely busy. I have told him that my school comes first. I need to tell him no, even though another contact said to listen to him and do what he asks.

Third – Academic Integrity

By submitting this assignment, I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and will follow all AI policies and understand that violating these policies could lead to a failing grade in the class, and XE on my transcript, etc. If I have any questions regarding AI issues, I will ask for clarification in Course Questions or via email.

Type your name here: Travis Bailey http://www.Moscowamerican.com

Fourth - Syllabus

By submitting this assignment, I acknowledge that I have read and understand the course syllabus and schedule. If I have any questions regarding the syllabus, I will ask for clarification in Course Questions or via email.

Type your name here: Travis Bailey http://www.Moscowamerican.com

Addendum to 3 and 4

I do not believe nor support intellectual property rights in any form. According to the US federal government, 32.9% of the American economy is intellectual property right, one of the achilles heels of the most internationally violent country in the world. I will not abide by any agreement about intellectual property rights. I have met with a member of the Duma about this issue in 2016 and I am pleased that our president has taken up the issue of abolishing copyright in the Russian Federation last May.

In addition, Sci Hub is an incredible Russian based site with an estimated 80% of research papers in the world, which is revolutionizing and democratizing science.

Russian newspapers

http://www.rg.ru Rossiyskaya Gazeta] (RG) is the Russian government’s “paper of record” – meaning that the Russian government is required by law to publish new laws in the mass media and Rossiyskaya Gazeta is the paper in which it does so. RG also covers politics, business, and culture. It is a daily publication with print runs of 132,000 as of December 2016. RG-Nedelya, a weekly sister publication, runs at nearly 3.3 million copies.

These are spread over three formats: a daily; a weekend edition; and a twice-weekly that is available for free in Moscow’s subway system. Emphasis is on business, government social programs and regulations, and culture in the city. Politics and society are also covered.

Originally owned by opposition-minded investors, the paper is now owned by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alisher_Usmanov Alisher Usmanov], known as a Kremlin-friendly oligarch.

It’s now one of Russia’s https://advert.kp.ru/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/%D0%93%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B0-%D0%9A%D0%9F-6.2021-1.pdf largest tabloid-format] newspapers, printing about 600,000 daily copies and about two million weekly “fat editions” inside Russia (and nearly one million more outside of Russia).

http://www.trud.ru/ Trud] was once a flagship of Communist ideology. By 2005, it was fully owned by Media 3 (see Media Conglomerates, below).

Что произойдет, если Иран отменит все законы об авторском праве и выйдет из всех международных договоров об интеллектуальной собственности? Может ли авторское право использоваться в качестве оружия против Соединенных Штатов? Рассмотрим этот вопрос подробнее.

Я стою перед иранским посольством - посольством, представляющим осажденную страну, которая агрессивно издевается и угнетается Соединенными Штатами на протяжении десятилетий.

Недавно Соединенные Штаты в одностороннем порядке вышли из иранского ядерного соглашения, и только на этой неделе США вновь угрожали войной.

Что может сделать такая маленькая страна, как Иран? В 2016 году Министерство торговли США выпустило всеобъемлющий отчет под названием «Интеллектуальная собственность и экономика США». Исследование показало, что отрасли с интенсивной интеллектуальной собственностью поддерживают как минимум 45 миллионов рабочих мест в США и вкладывают в экономику более 6 триллионов долларов

В отчете даже говорится, что 38% валового внутреннего продукта США принадлежит интеллектуальной собственности! Иран может противостоять Соединенным Штатам, атаковав 38% американской экономики. Это может быть сделано путем отмены авторских прав.

Затем Иран объявит миру, что в Иране нет авторских прав, и они горячо приветствуют любое онлайн-пиратство.

В стране могут быть установлены секретные серверы для создания библиотеки всех мировых знаний.

YouTube со всеми когда-либо снятыми фильмами и телешоу. Библиотеки со всеми когда-либо написанными книгами. Все они связаны коллективным сайтом Википедия, объединяющий почти все человеческие знания. Одним словом, современное седьмое чудо света - современная александрийская библиотека.

Чем больше интеллектуальная собственность и закон об авторском праве ослаблены за границей, тем слабее Америка экономически и, следовательно, в военном отношении. Это будет успехом, потому что у каждого человека, организации и страны есть своя «Ахиллесова пята». Чем больше страна, тем больше будет этих уязвимых мест.

Я иду сейчас в иранское посольство, чтобы дать им пакет, объясняющий и разъясняющий эту мощную идею.

Об этом сообщает Трэвис Ли Бэйли из иранского посольства в Москве, Россия.

Video transcript

What would happen if Iran abolished all copyright laws and withdrew from all international intellectual property treaties? Could copyright be used as a weapon against the united states? I am going to explore this possibility.

I am standing in front of the Iranian embassy – an embassy that represents a besieged country which has been aggressively bullied and oppressed by the united states for decades.  

Recently, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal and just this week the us again threated war.    What can a small country like Iran do? In 2016 the U.S. commerce department released a comprehensive report entitled, “intellectual property and the U.S. economy”  The study found that intellectual property intensive industries support at least 45 million U.S. jobs and contributes more than $6 trillion dollars to the economy     

The report even went so far as to say that 38% of American's gross domestic product is in intellectual property!  Iran can stand up to the united states, by attacking 38% of the American economy.  This can be done by abolishing copyright.

Iran would then proclaim to the world that there is no copyright in Iran and they would warmly welcome all online piracy. 

Secret servers could be installed in the country to build a library of all of the world's knowledge.

A YouTube with every movie and television show ever created.  A library of every book ever written.  All connected by a Wikipedia collective site connecting the sum of all human knowledge.  In short, a modern-day seventh wonder of the world - a contemporary library of Alexandria.

The more intellectual property and copyright law is weakened abroad, the weaker America is economically and therefore militarily.     This will succeed because  every person, organization and country has an Achilles heel. The larger the country, the bigger the Achilles heel.

I am walking into the Iranian embassy right now to give them a packet explaining and expounding on this powerful idea. 

This is Travis Lee Bailey reporting from the Iranian embassy in Moscow Russia.

What you can do to help right now

If you are living overseas

e Established in late 2020, my second consulting firm will lobby the Russian Federation to abolish copyright

The more copyright law is weakened abroad, the weaker America is economically and therefore militarily.

Every person, organization and country has an Achilles heel. The larger the person, organization, or country, the bigger the Achilles heel. In 2016 US Presidential a Saint Petersburg troll farm company helped get Donald J. Trump get elected. The election shows that Russians are acutely cognizant of many of America's Achilles heels.

In 2016 the U.S. Commerce Department released a comprehensive report entitled, “Intellectual Property and the U.S. Economy: 2016 Update,” which found that Intellectual Property intensive industries support at least 45 million U.S. jobs and contribute to more than $6 trillion dollars to, or 38.2 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).[11]

3rd of 4 letters to Putin's inner circle

My name is Travis Lee Bailey. Some background on who I am. I am a Washington, DC lawyer living here in Moscow for approximately the past 3 years. My career ambitions are two pronged. First, I either will work for a Russian think tank such as the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (RISS) in consulting or writing policy papers on how Russia can subvert the United States economically.

Alternatively we will create our own state-sanctioned Russian think tank to abolish copyright in Russia among other activities.

According to Russian academics you are influential with President Vladimir Putin. Therefore, the reason I am writing you is that I want to make a policy suggestion. I propose that the Russian Federation abolishes copyright. The more copyright law is weakened abroad, the weaker America is economically and therefore militarily.

In 2016 the U.S. Commerce Department released a comprehensive report entitled, “Intellectual Property and the U.S. Economy: 2016 Update,” which found that Intellectual Property intensive industries support at least 45 million U.S. jobs and contribute to more than $6 trillion dollars (38 percent) of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). This study points to the fact that Russia can cripple the United States by abolishing copyright.

On Saturday, January 11, 2020, I was blessed to meet the founder of SciHub, Russian citizen Alexandra Elbakyan. Ms. Elbakyan has created an illegal pirated database of all of the research papers ever written. It is estimated that 80% of all of the world's research papers are on the SciHub webpage. This database has not only revolutionized science by freeing the monopoly of information that the United States holds, it has crippled the American's academic industry. SciHub can be expanded.

The Russian Federation has earmarked 2 billion rubles to the Большая Российская энциклопедия (https://greatbook.ru/publishers/contacts.html) to create Russia's own Wikipedia. Without copyright, this Wikipedia could be the modern day Library of Alexandria, catapulting Russian science and prestige on the world stage. I strongly suggest that you consult with Ms. Elbakyan on this project. I would also be happy to assist in any way possible.

In this time of radical change in the government this month, I wish you and your staff only my best wishes.

Sincerely,

Travis Lee Bailey, Esq.

Activities

The most important forms of day-to-day activities of the Council for Foreign and Defense Policy are regular and informal meetings of Council members; holding conferences, seminars and discussion meetings; organization of research projects; informational, educational and lobbying activities. During its existence, the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy has implemented a number of projects. Priority among them were such, in particular, programs: "Strategy for Russia", "Russia-Belarus", "Russia-Ukraine", "Russia-Baltic", "Russia and the World", "Military Reform", "Russia- NATO”, “Russia and the EU”, “Russian-American Dialogue”, “Russia-Japan”.

The Council for Foreign and Defense Policy carries out its activities in close cooperation with a number of parliamentary and government bodies, such as the Committees of the State Duma of the Russian Federation on international affairs, on defense; Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, other power ministries and departments, Ministry of the Russian Federation for Atomic Energy; with academic institutions, primarily with the Institute of Europe and IMEMO RAS. SVOP also develops contacts with a number of leading foreign government and private organizations.

An important component of the Council's activity is the formation of mostly horizontal informal ties between its members and civil society groups and organizations, support by members of the SVOP of mutually beneficial undertakings.

The cultural map 71vvRtZy+RL.jpg

Cultural differences matter

One reader commented, “Speaking of cultural differences leads us to stereotype and therefore put individuals in boxes with ‘general traits.’ Instead of talking about culture, it is important to judge people as individuals, not just products of their environment.”

At first, this argument sounds valid, even enlightened. Of course individuals, no matter their cultural origins, have varied personality traits. So why not just approach all people with an interest in getting to know them personally, and proceed from there? Unfortunately, this point of view has kept thousands of people from learning what they need to know to meet their objectives. If you go into every interaction assuming that culture doesn’t matter, your default mechanism will be to view others through your own cultural lens and to judge or misjudge them accordingly. Ignore culture, and you can’t help but conclude, “Chen doesn’t speak up—obviously he doesn’t have anything to say! His lack of preparation is ruining this training program!” Or perhaps, “Jake told me everything was great in our performance review, when really he was unhappy with my work—he is a sneaky, dishonest, incompetent boss!”

Yes, every individual is different. And yes, when you work with people from other cultures, you shouldn’t make assumptions about individual traits based on where a person comes from. But this doesn’t mean learning about cultural contexts is unnecessary. If your business success relies on your ability to work successfully with people from around the world, you need to have an appreciation for cultural differences as well as respect for individual differences. Both are essential.

As if this complexity weren’t enough, cultural and individual differences are often wrapped up with differences among organizations, industries, professions, and other groups. But even in the most complex situations, understanding how cultural differences affect the mix may help you discover a new approach. Cultural patterns of behavior and belief frequently impact our perceptions (what we see), cognitions (what we think), and actions (what we do). The goal of this book is to help you improve your ability to decode these three facets of culture and to enhance your effectiveness in dealing with them.
