What's Up In Russia Lately?

And The Winner Of This Election Is......

2016-09-20T20:03:00.001-04:00

United Russia! Meaning, Dmitry Medvedev is Prime Minister of Russia once again! (I think him and Putin go well together, what do you think?) Before you ask, yes, there were reports that the election was rigged. They now have 343 seats in the State Duma, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has 42, the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia has 39, A Just Russia has 23, and new this year, Rodina has 1 and an independent candidate has 1.

Russian Election This Year

2016-04-16T12:31:00.001-04:00

Haven't been on in awhile, so I thought I would post today. So earlier this year I learned that the next election in Russia is this September! Hopefully, that will mean no more Vladimir Putin. Also, I have another blog now, it's more of a personal blog and blog about chemistry, you can find it here: http://chemistryiselementary.blogspot.ca/

Russia Takes On Syria (among other things)

2015-10-05T08:27:00.003-04:00

Hello readers! The fight against ISIS has come to the point where Russia is now involved. Of course, the Kremlin has been quick to deny this.

Also, I found this AMAZING blog. I play The Sims 3, and many people choose to take on what's called a "legacy challenge". I am doing on that is half a tribute to Dmitri Mendeleev, and half the periodic table of elements. Check it out here: www.elementalsims.wordpress.com

New Page on the Blog

2015-08-27T19:11:00.001-04:00

Today I added a new page to the blog. If you think I should add or fix something on it, feel free to tell me.

Wow, You Really ARE Useless…

2015-04-10T12:08:00.000-04:00

Not sure if this is a new hack, but on the news a couple days ago, the Russians (I suspect their government) hacked the United States government…and got the president's timetable. Useless really.

RIP, Boris Nemtsov

2015-03-02T07:06:00.000-05:00

As you have probably heard by now, Boris Nemtsov was shot dead Friday in Moscow. Putin is suspected to have something to do with it. Protests were held in his memory yesterday. Could this mean a new Russian Revolution?

This Is Getting To Be Too Much…

2014-10-14T08:20:00.002-04:00

This is where governments start to really get stupid…when they start to hack websites. Yes, the Russian government has now done that twice! First they hacked JP Morgan, and now…NATO.

Half A Year Now…

2014-09-01T14:12:00.001-04:00

Hard to believe it's been half a year since Ukraine was first attacked by Russia. And Donetsk is almost gone! 300,000 left out of an original 900,000. Two-thirds of the population, missing! Argh…Russians…

Who's To Blame?

2014-07-19T14:04:00.001-04:00

By now, you have probably heard about MH 17. I say, it could be either the Russians or the Ukrainians that did it. I don't know who to blame. They say it was a Russian built missile that downed the plane. Both Ukraine and Russia possess said missiles. Who do you think did it? Comment with your opinion.

Surprise!

2014-06-20T10:44:00.000-04:00

I'm back!!! Anyways, here's a little something you might like: I am going to Moscow for the summer! As often as I can, I will post from Russia. I can't guarantee it will be really often, but keep checking! I forgot to tell you, I am still here, but with a new account.

Stupid Kremlin! That Stupid Kremlin!

2014-05-16T18:20:00.000-04:00

Back again! Anyways, what the hell has Putin been up to? Stupid things! A lot of things have happened lately. For one, Putin has been facing many sanctions, and they are starting to cause problems for Russia now. Perhaps the stupidest thing: the Kremlin is threatening to shut down the International Space Station! I hate to be saying this, but Russians must rise up now! LEAVE UKRAINE ALONE!!

Exactly Who Landed On The Moon First?

2014-04-03T12:08:00.001-04:00

I was thinking, technically, the Soviets were the first to "land" on the moon. Consider Luna 2, which was deliberately crashed on the moon. Also, Luna 2 was built by Soviets. Or, did Americans land on the moon first? Comment here with your opinion.

Crimea…Ukrainian, or Russian?

2014-03-07T11:13:00.000-05:00

Wow. Whole countries have changed. Yesterday, Crimea voted to join Russia. Amazing!

So Confusing…

2014-03-05T08:12:00.000-05:00

Well, I'm back. Sorry I was gone so long…I was quite busy. Anyway, I bet you heard the news, and it's about time we caught up to it. As you have probably heard, it seems to be that Russian troops are attempting to invade Crimea. However, Vladimir Putin is saying that the troops are just trying to protect the other Russians. Honestly, I agree with him.

Surprise! It's A Wooden…Penis?

2014-02-11T16:11:00.000-05:00

I can't believe what I heard. A wooden penis. Attached to a car! Okay, here's the story. Someone (not naming names!) attached a wooden penis to an activist's car. Did I forget to mention that said activist is against Putin? Well, she is. She actually found it funny, and laughed out loud. Something tells me Putin had everything to do with it…

Feature Olympian (Patrick Chan)

2014-02-07T08:24:00.000-05:00

Today's Olympian is Patrick Chan. Also known as Chan Wai-Kuan, he is only 23 years old. He won bronze in the 2012 Cup Of Russia.

Sochi 2014

2014-02-06T08:21:00.000-05:00

Today, as posted, I write my special blog post about Sochi 2014. Events included are as follows: alpine skiing, biathlon, bobsleigh, cross country, curling, figure skating, freestyle skiing, ice hockey, luge, Nordic combined, short track, skeleton, ski jumping, snowboard and speed skating. From what I have heard, Sochi 2014 is already underway. Daily I will be checking for scores and other stats. Each day I will post about a different Olympian. Scores will look like this: (1.23 mins, Patrick Chan (US)).
Good luck to all athletes!

Thought You Should Know…

2014-02-05T17:12:00.000-05:00

Just letting you know that you should be able to comment now.

Are You Ready? Sochi 2014 Is Only One Day Away!

2014-02-05T08:27:00.001-05:00

If you haven't already heard, tomorrow I will write a blog post dedicated to Sochi 2014. Speaking of which, Russia may not be quite ready for the Olympics. For one, a reporter said that her wifi was dangling from the walls on wires. It's going to be wireless, alright! And another told about instructions for toilets. Can you believe it? Good luck to all athletes.

It Might Really Happen…

2014-02-02T18:08:00.002-05:00

We may just be getting further. Yesterday, representatives from Russia and the West held a meeting about Ukraine. They say we could be much closer to experiencing the Soviet Union again. Just 4 more days, and the day before Sochi there will be a special blog post commemorating Sochi 2014!

The Soviet Union-The Sequel?

2014-01-28T08:20:00.001-05:00

This really needs to be stopped from happening again. Some fear Ukraine may go back to its Soviet past. To put it frankly, do we really need the KGB back? If we don't stop them, we could basically say 'bye-bye' to the Russian Federation and 'hello' to the Soviet Union. Anyway, 9 more days till Sochi.

Getting Down To Things, Finally

2014-01-27T08:21:00.000-05:00

As Sochi approaches quickly, I have some concerns to express. First, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but do you actually think that you can really make Sochi more secure with 30,000 guards? Good luck! Next, I wonder why in the world would anyone want to literally blow up Sochi? I have no clue. Anyways, I have a little contest for you. I would like you to come up with a blog post topic related to Russia. Comment here with suggestions. Oh, and 10 more days!

The "Black Widow"

2014-01-23T08:49:00.002-05:00

Well, cat's out of the bag. At least for a certain Islamic widow. This widow is accused of planning a terrorist attack on Sochi. What else is new? 14 more days!

Important-You Must Read This

2014-01-20T08:44:00.001-05:00

Look. Don't go to Sochi. Islamic militants have threatened to bomb the Olympics. 17 days left.

Computerized History

2014-01-17T08:20:00.000-05:00

Ever wonder why are there so many Russian programmers? Simple. For one thing, the only reason we even HAVE computers today is because of the so-called "space race". Which brings us to the Cold War. Don't get me started. 20 days left till Sochi…
