12 December 2013. It’s That Time of Year! Have a Holiday Smile… from Masha and the Bear

******

One, Two, Three! Up with the Tree!

******

******

Here’s one of my fave Sov multifilms… The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats. Good things from the Evil Empire! You don’t need to know Russian to love this one…

______________________________

Have a most lovely holiday season… no matter which one you celebrate. Ura! It’s time for ALL of us to join hands… let’s have a world where we can all respect one another and live together in peace, despite obvious differences. Fie on all those who want to “convert” their neighbour… that’s where most mischief in society comes in. Let’s treat others as we’d like others to treat us… we can do it…

17 November 2012. It’s That Time of Year Again! One, Two, Three… Up with the Tree!

******

A sweet little Russian cartoon (it has minimal dialogue, so, don’t worry), with the title One, Two, Three… Up with the Tree! It also has a sweet way of delivering its moral… one shouldn’t be selfish.

It’s time to start getting ready for Christmas and New Year‘s. You DO want Dede and Snegurochka to come to your house, don’t you?

1 June 2012. Link to Video of Hatfield’s Far Right Bloviation on “Religious Freedom”

______________________________

Someone kindly sent me a link to Chad Hatfield’s heave-inducing Far Right presentation. C’mon! Watch it, ya gotta know what the plug-uglies are sayin’.

Click here for the C-Span Video.

These poseurs are serious, and they presume to speak for REAL Orthodox Christians. These Anglican imposters should never have been ordained… received, yes… ordained, NEVER. Why? They never put on “the mind of the Church”. They actually take this “Culture War” crapola seriously and want to ram it down our throats labelled as the TEACHING OF THE CHURCH.

EXCUSE ME! If I’ve a choice between this crackbrained BS and Tikhon Shevkunov’s Unholy Holiness, I know where I stand… and I don’t stand alone.

To clear your mind after watching the above mind-corrosive dreck, do watch something positive and life-affirming, like the Masha and Medved vid posted below… this episode’s based on the famous fairy tale The Golden Fish, and it has a SWEET ending… it has minimal dialogue, so, any lack of Russian skills won’t hinder your enjoyment of this:

1 November 2011. Video. Not Everything “Commercial” and “Secular Holiday” is Bad… Take a Look and SMILE

******

******

Wasn’t that innocent in its way? Everything has its place… everything’s right in its proper setting (you DON’T uncork the jug in church during liturgy… you don’t sing hymns whilst your’re taking a nip). Take for instance, this sweet little Soviet-era multifilm (animation) about a happy little train. The USSR wasn’t all GULags and gaybisti.

SMILE… the Good Lord’s gonna judge you on that, you know… “Why did you have such a long face in the good world that I made for you?” Think on that…
