HA! The NY Times did this DURING the famine. And the Village Voice did this as late at the 1988. I guess the powers that be decided they can stop lying about Ukraine.

It is prohibited now to import more than 5 years old vehicles from EU to Ukraine
according to EU assosiation agreement.

I think they’re saving the whales or something.

Swedish and Finnish media report that the Finnish armed forces dropped warning bombs in response to an ‘unknown’ underwater craft in Finnish waters….

“Natalka Poltavka”
(translated: Little Natalie of Poltava, except it rhymes)
She’s inspecting a rather ramshackle formation of Ukrainian soldiers.

I’ve been wondering the same question asked in this column: Why are smart, educated, worldly people lying like crazy when it comes to Ukraine?

Toeing the party line comes naturally to them. I’m sure they don’t even consider it lying – in much the same way as taking stuff from a factory or an office was never considered stealing back in the days of the Soviet Union. It was just the Soviet way.

There is one other peculiarity of the latent Soviet-style newthink. When you live in Russia, you become convinced that nothing in that country ever changes. Every regime isforever.

I agree with this analysis. Don’t think of the Russian military as a powerful combined-arms team. Think of Russia as a corrupt-as-hell country (Mexico?), with nukes and best-in-the-world propaganda.

I suspect that internally, Russia needs to use many different forces against each other. Everyone needs to be scared. So there are coalitions of gangs, mafias, Chechens, spies and police, and the Kremlin needs each of these to fear the others.
