"May you live in interesting times."

I believe the full curse is:

May you live in interesting times and come to the attention of powerful people.

How did you happen to end up living there, if I may ask.

Putin appears to have a much better grasp of the situation than Obama or McCain or Bush.

Putin for President 2012!

(We'll just have Hawaii issue a Certification of Live Birth, and he can run as a Republican.) ;-)

Very good post! We have a copy of "Russian Ark" which we have watched a couple of times. It is an amazing movie, taken in one 90-minute continuous filming.

There seem to be many here who think of Prime Minister (past President) Putin as some sort of Communist and head of the KGB, when the truth is that he is now a committed Orthodox Christian, and his mid-level job in the Soviet-era intelligence agency had more to do with economic analysis (sort of like lots of accountants work for the FBI, which doesn't make them the head of the FBI).

I don’t think anyone in the know really ever thought of Putin as a Communist. He admired the Soviet Union for their military power, but I’m sure he was critical of their economic ideology.

There have been articles posted here over the years about Russia’s move into capitalism. It’s very interesting to hear it from someone living there, though.

Me too & I feel like I am in a nightmare. When I was younger I used to think I wouldn't live to see things get really bad. Now I think I am going to see it all.

I've been having the same feeling. I keep thinking, What kind of world will our children have to live in?

I tell our 13yo son that every generation has challenges to face. When I was growing up, we worried about the Cold War and a possible nuclear holocaust. His generation must worry more about terrorism against the U.S. But, although I don't say so, I worry that my children's world will be far, far worse.

Never in my life would I expect to find myself hoping a Russian would be of any help.
