 Russia and Jersey - Daniel Dumaresq   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Daniel Dumaresq was born in Trinity, Jersey in 1712, son of Jurat Elie Dumaresq, Seigneur of Augrès.
At that time the Russia Company did its business in a huge wooden warehouse, and on the first floor was accommodation for about one hundred British expatriates: clerks, porters, apprentices, and naturally enough a Chaplain.
In 1755, Sir Charles Hanbury Williams was appointed British Ambassador to Russia, and Dumaresq took on the post of Chaplain to the Ambassador.

 Russia To Chechens: 'Get Out or Die'
Russia had earlier been given the green light for the attack on Chechnya by U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright who dismissed proposals for cutting off aid to Russia.
For Russia and the West the fate of the Chechens, who have suffered 250 years of brutal, colonial rule, is overshadowed by "The Great Game" -- a reference to the rivalry between Imperial Russia and the British Empire over influence in Central Asia at the end of the last century -- being replayed.
Russia has long regarded the Caspian as its strategic reserve and Moscow does not take kindly to the prospect of the once-Soviet states which actually sit on the oil drilling their way to real economic independence.

 Foreign Affairs - Blaming Russia First - Daniel Treisman
Daniel Treisman is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles.
She memorably notes that what struck her about the "oligarchs" was not their Rolexes and the $100,000 fur coats for their wives but the fact that they all seemed to be "looking for emergency exits"; the threat of government prosecution or even assassination by rivals always lurked in the background.
The only question was whether Russia's business barons would continue to come exclusively from the realms of the communist aristocracy or whether some of these would be elbowed out by a few "upstarts" such as Jewish former mathematicians or theater directors.

Daniel Schorr: I am afraid so, because the Cold War, however bad it was in many respects, had one quality, and that is there were two great superpowers, and each of those superpowers was able to keep control of a vast part of the world.
Daniel Schorr: Well, no, what we have here is a situation that is totally a part of the new world that we now live in.
Daniel Schorr: The end of the Cold War was less a vindication of free-market capitalism than it was a demonstration of a system that was simply corrupt and sick on the inside and couldn't last anyway.

 Daniel J. Mitchell on Russia's Flat Tax on NRO Financial
Russia's economy grew by more than 5% last year while most other nations were mired in recession.
Even the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development called Russia's flat tax system a "key accomplishment," a stunning admission since the Paris-based bureaucracy is infamous for complaining about the "unfairness" of nations using low tax rates to lure jobs and capital from high-tax nations.
The difference between President Bush and President Putin, of course, is that while Russia enjoys its flat tax, Americans still have to navigate the hundreds of forms required by all 45,000 pages of our mind-numbing tax code.

 Review: Homosexual Desire in Revolutionary Russia
Dan Healey's study of same-sex love in revolutionary Russia is an impressively argued, well documented examination of one of the most 'obscure' 'blank spots' in Russian history.
The comparative weakness of the medical sciences in Russia, combined with the reluctance of the tsarist state to deploy significant police resources to entrap and prosecute homosexuals afforded the latter greater freedom to explore and develop a complex and shifting range of sexual identities.
The language of these campaigns was formulated in terms of a bio-social prophylaxis intended to combat the spread of ideas and behavioural practices deemed pernicious to the wellbeing of the Party-State and society.

Although the total Russian population dropped by 400,000 in the first half of 2005, it increased in 15 regions, such as the Muslim republics of Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia.
The birth rate is 1.8 children per woman in Dagestan, versus 1.3 for Russia as a whole.

 Foreign Affairs - Russia Renewed? - Daniel Treisman
A few unscrupulous oligarchs concentrated much of the country's capital in their hands and seemed to dangle Russia's leaders from golden strings.
The fact is that Putin's Russia, although it sports a glossy new coat of paint, remains Yeltsin's Russia underneath -- a truth with both good and bad consequences.
The bad news, however, is that Putin's Russia is rather less stable and reformed than its supporters believe.

 Articles - International Space Station   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The initially proposed name "Space Station Alpha" was rejected by Russia, since it would have implied that the station was something fundamentally new, whereas the Soviet Union already had operated eight orbital stations long before the ISS launch (see Space station).
The Russian proposal to name the space station "Atlant" was in turn rejected by the US, which was worried about that name's similarity to "Atlantis", the name of a legendary continent that sank into the ocean.

 Initium: 09-28-04 - The Center for the Advancement of Capitalism
In her later writings, especially in Atlas Shrugged, she identified the nature of the beast, that is, its motive and purpose: a hatred of existence, of the good for being the good; and destruction of it for the sake of destruction, and killing for the sake of killing.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines nihilism (which, as a political philosophy, first appeared in Tsarist Russia) as: “Negative doctrines in religion or morals; total rejection of current religious beliefs or moral principles.” In a strictly philosophical context, nihilism is “an extreme form of skepticism, involving the denial of all existence,” or “nothingness, non-existence.”
Iran and Syria are the chief source of funds behind the campaign to force the West to bow to Mecca, or face misery, death and destruction by an enemy bent on world domination.
