The American (and Western) intelligentsia hates Tsar Aleksandr Aleksandrovich. Yet, he was a man who hated war… he had his bellyful of it in the Russo-Turkish War of 1878-79, where he served in the field. You may find the Western chattering classes “good” or you may find Tsar Aleksandr “good”. Which one you choose I’d say speaks volumes of your character…

G K Zhukov was the greatest Russian war leader since Suvorov. There were only a few such in Russian History… St Aleksandr Nevsky… St Dmitri Donskoi… Minin and Pozharsky… A V Suvorov… G K Zhukov… they’re the pantheon of Russian Leadership. They’re the Great War Lords… the Great Captains of Holy Rus. It’s a real and rich history. Our history is a seamless garment… one that one can’t divide without destroying the whole. The Ukraine? It has no past, no history, and, therefore, no soul. It’s a golem built by the West to try to topple Holy Rus. It shall not prevail!
If we forget our history, we lose our soul. Look at the “Ukrainians”… that’s an object lesson. They’ve forgotten who they are… need I say more?

On Sunday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights watchdog and residents said that Syrian rebels took control of the ancient Christian town of Ma’loula, north of Damascus. Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said, “Overnight, Syrian government troops moved into the village, but rebel forces sent reinforcements and were able to take control of the entire town”. A resident of the town, reached by phone, also confirmed that government forces withdrew from the area and rebel forces were in control of Ma’loula.

Vladimir Vladimirovich’s elder brother died in the Siege of Leningrad. I need say no more… his American critics are ignorant, clueless, and without a shred of human feeling… he wants war LESS than any American does… for he DOES know the cost thereof…
There never was and never will be a “Good War”… all those who say so are demented…
