Paranoid, mischievous and heading in the wrong direction, Russia is an awkward prospect for Barack Obama Over the past ten years, under Vladimir Putin's leadership, Russia has become more nationalistic, corrupt and corporatist. Its economy, although much bigger than a decade ago, is even more dependent on oil and gas, an industry now controlled by a small group of kleptocratic courtiers and former spies. The decision by Ikea, a well-known Swedish furniture supplier once bullish about Russia, to suspend investment because of graft is an indictment of the dire commercial climate (see article). Its non-energy exports are smaller than Sweden's.

Partners in perfidy

Apparently Russia was offended that it was not included in the Allied commemoration of D-Day last month. La Russophobe empathetically agrees with Russia http://larussophobe.wordpress.com/2009/06/20/editorial-forgetting-russia/: Their behavior in World War II should not have been forgotten. It was so loathsome, vile and contemptible that it must be made to live in infamy right along with the cowardly Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

Set the record straight. Ignatieff needs to rebut hurtful stereotypes

Marco Levytsky The unfortunate comments Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff made about Ukrainians in his 1993 book, Blood and Belonging, are a recurring nightmare that never goes away. Most recently, Manitoba's senior cabinet minister, Vic Toews, sent flyers out to his constituents in which he reprinted a couple of excerpts from that book, which included the comments: "Ukrainian independence conjures up images of embroidered peasant shirts, the nasal whine of ethnic instruments, phoney Cossacks in cloaks and boots, nasty anti-Semites;" and, "Somewhere inside, I'm also what Ukrainians call a Great Russian, and there is a trace of old Russian disdain for these 'little Russians.'"

EDMONTON -- Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff says comments he wrote about Ukrainians 15 years ago have been misinterpreted by the federal Conservatives. He told reporters after a town hall meeting in Edmonton on Tuesday night that some of the terminology he used was derogatory, but said it was done in an "ironic" manner to describe some of the prejudices about Ukrainian people.

Professor Harry Reicher is wrong about John Demjanjuk and wrong about the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations (which he mistakenly calls the Office of Special Prosecutions).

Lennikov, the KGB and the search for facts

07/02/2009

джерело:

http://www.eposhta.com/newsmagazine/ePOSHTA_090706_CanadaUS.html

One of the great difficulties of the Mikhail Lennikov case is the shortage of detailed information and direct evidence of exactly what he did - or didn't do - for the KGB for five years. Lennikov, of course, is the failed refugee applicant now seeking sanctuary in an East Vancouver church in defiance of a deportation order over his past employment by the KGB, the notorious spy agency and secret police of the former Soviet Union.

Jewish group's bid to oust Wasyl Odynsky rejected

The Canadian Press The Canadian Press title given to Mr.Odynsky in this article is incorrect. Being Ukrainian, Wasyl Odynsky, could not have been "a former SS guard" - only Germans could belong to the SS. OTTAWA -- The Federal Court of Canada has rejected a Jewish group's attempt to revoke the citizenship of a former Nazi guard, saying the decision to allow the man to stay in Canada was reasonable and in keeping with the Charter of Rights.

Canadian Jewish Congress organized nazis

07/02/2009

джерело:

http://www.eposhta.com/newsmagazine/ePOSHTA_090706_CanadaUS.html

A Jewish-Canadian author is in a battle of words with the Canadian Jewish Congress after alleging the organization props up neo-nazi groups to get "hate crime" legislation passed and expand the role of the country's Human Rights Commission. Neo-conservative author Ezra Levant claims in his latest book, Shakedown, that the Canadian Jewish Congress hired ex-cop John Garrity to work for the Canadian Nazi Party in the 1960's. In 1965 and 1966, Garrity was put in charge of membership for the group and organized the dozen or so "rag-tag band of losers" into an outfit that garned a lot of press coverage.
