  Kinoeye | Russian films at the 2001 Karlovy Vary festival
The film grabbed festival-goers' attention not least by a distinctive full-colour advertising hoarding for the film—depicting Cesare Borgia sitting in the open carcass of a bull—that was sufficiently bloody to upset the delicate sensibilities of one of the town's plusher hotels, which requested that it be removed from outside its premises.
That is not to say that this was a bad year for Russian cinema: the evidence is clear that the country's strong and distinctive film-making tradition is still surviving despite adverse economic circumstances.
Perhaps it is time for Russian film buffs to turn away from the intensely individual works of the high auteurs and start evaluating works in a more straightforward style.

  Mongol invasion of Rus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mongol Invasion of Rus' was heralded by the Battle of the Kalka River (1223) between Subutai's reconnaissance unit and the combined force of several princes of Rus'.
The invasion, facilitated by the breakup of Kievan Rus' in the 12th century, had incalculable ramifications for the history of Eastern Europe, including the division of the East Slavic people into three separate nations and the rise of the Principality of Moscow.
The influence of the Mongol invasion on the territories of Kievan Rus' was uneven.

Subsequently they invaded Hungary and Poland, the former invasion commanded by Batu Khan, a grandson of Ghengis Khan, and the latter a diversion commanded by Kadu, also a grandson of Ghengis Khan, though both invasions were masterminded by Subutai, who also masterminded the Russian campaign.
The armies re-grouped and crushed Hungary in 1241, defeating the Hungarian army at the Battle of Mohi on April 11.
As Batu Khan was advancing on Hungary from the north-east it was decided by the King to concentrate his strength at Pest and then head to the north to confront the Mongol army.

The Russians, he reasoned, could do nothing further to defend the Caucasus, but they could be forced to expend their last reserves defending Stalingrad and their lifeline, the Volga River.
In another scythelike sweep the Russians turned southward to the Donets, threatening to envelop the German remnants of Army Group B and Army Group Don, which was still endeavoring to hold open Army Group A's lifeline to the west at Rostov.
In the summer and fall offensives the Russians had repeatedly laid down artillery barrages heavier than any since the great battles of World War I. Moreover, the German Army faced two new dangers: its manpower reserves were rapidly being exhausted, and an Anglo-American invasion in the west within the next half year was nearly certain.

 RedOrbit - Science - Roundup: Russian Gas Deliveries to Hungary Back to Normal   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Hungary consumes 14 billion cubic meters of gas a year, 80% of which is covered by imports and 70% of these are Russian deliveries.
The current dispute has underscored the dangers of Hungary's unilateral energy dependence, Koka said, speaking after gas pressure in the pipeline coming directly from Ukraine was restored to normal.
As part of this long-term strategy, Hungary, together with the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia, are to propose that the European Union construct alternative pipelines aimed at alleviating this dependence, said Koka.

In 1968, an invasion by Warsaw Pact troops ended the efforts of the country's leaders to liberalize party rule and create "socialism with a human face." Anti-Soviet demonstrations the following year ushered in a period of harsh repression.
Although the last Russian troops left in 1994, the status of the Russian minority (some 30% of the population) remains of concern to Moscow.
Although independent from the USSR since 1991, Russian forces have remained on Moldovan territory east of the Dniester River supporting the Slavic majority population, mostly Ukrainians and Russians, who have proclaimed a "Transnistria" republic.

A woman weeps as she watches Russian military action against the Hungarian anticommunist uprising of 1956.
He says Hungary's leaders failed to lead; Soviet reformers seriously considered compromise, but in the end rejected it; and Washington did nothing for the rebels, despite its professed anticommunism.
Yet when the opposition in Hungary rose, Gati says it turned out that the United States did not have "a single plan on the shelf of the policy-planning staff of the State Department about what to do, nor were there any economic means by which they could influence the situation."

For centuries the Vizsla was owned by the sporting nobility of Hungary and before firearms were introduced in the 1700's, was used to scent and search for birds which were then either caught by falcons or netted.
Subsequently a gundog, with all-round ability, who could work on fur or feather, was required by the nobility of the day to work the plains of Hungary with their varying vegetation of thick crop cover, tall grasslands and cornfields.
During the Russian occupation many nationals fled taking their dogs with them and thus the breed became established in Europe and the West.

Odessa annexed by Russia, 1791; Revolt of Serbs, 1804-1813; Russian invasion, occupation of Moldavia & Wallachia, 1806-1812; Sult.ân overthrown by Janissaries, 1807
This provoked a Turkish invasion and the de facto partition of the Island (and, happily for Greece, the overthrow of the generals).
Hungary, of course, wanted Transylvania back, but this would have to be at the expense of another German ally, so Hitler compromised by giving Hungary a part (the part with the most Hungarians) of Transylvania, but then compensated România with extra territory in the Ukraine (going off the map).

The army was moved from the interior, not at the expense of the military chest, for, as I told you, that chest was empty, and could not afford the means for transporting the Russian guards from St. Petersburg to the confines of Hungary.
Why, the army is so unpopular, that when the Russian peasant is torn from his village by the conscription, there is a procession in the village, of which the priest is the leader, which resembles a funeral ceremony.
One of the men was declared to be unfit for the service; and so great was his excitement, that in the frenzy of his delirium and joy, he actually rushed from the house into the street in the state of nudity in which he had been examined.

Since the end of the Cold War in 1989, Russian and Hungarian documents have come to light which have led historians to revise the figure to c.4000 Hungarians killed fighting the Russians, and up to 300 executed afterwards.

 International Socialism: Sartre’s century
In the aftermath of 1968, when he sold banned socialist newspapers on the streets to defy the state5 and addressed a meeting outside the Renault car factory, he seemed to embody the hope that Marxist theory and revolutionary practice were coming together for the first time since the 1920s.
In 1956 Sartre denounced the Russian intervention in Hungary, saying that socialism ‘is not brought at bayonet point’.38 But he denied the right of criticism to those who had backed US imperialism in Guatemala in 1954, or who supported the Franco-British invasion of Egypt taking place at that very moment.
After the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia he spoke of ‘Soviet imperialism’,41 while saying that it followed different laws to US imperialism.
