They insist that our children should once more read a Soviet treatment of the Second World War and the supposedly positive role played by

Martin Luther King & non violence

2009-11-03T10:06:00.002-05:00

I saw twice the documentary about Martin Luther King. I was stained how much love this person carried and spread in his life. Even now, I believe, he is a inspiration for many other people.Black Americans were treated as second class citizens and even more, I would say, as slaves. Black Americans couldn't live on or walk certain streets. They were not welcome in public transport and their basic

Марк ГригорянФильм тбилисского документалиста Мамуки Купарадзе "Отсутствие воли" -- это попытка понять, в чем были ошибки Грузии и грузинского общества в последние двадцать лет, приведшие к прошлогодней грузино-российской войне. Фабула построена на том, что двое молодых людей, родившихся в последние годы до развала СССР, пытаются разобраться в природе грузино-абхазского и грузино-осетинского

Remembering & celebrating vs. sorrow

2009-09-29T15:23:00.007-04:00

27th September is a day of remembrance for both, Georgians and Abkhazians. However, there is a huge difference how we remember it. Abkhazians were celebrating the day as a day of Independence, while Georgians were grieving about fall of Sukhum. For blog such as ours, promoting brotherhood between people, is very difficult to write something about this event without making angry one or another

Война в кривом эфире Мощными пропагандистскими залпами отметили наши телеканалы годовщину грузинской войны. Тема российской победы, миротворцев-героев и благодарного населения Южной Осетии и Абхазии была в эти дни представлена в новостях едва ли не в том же объеме, что и год назад. Отметились основные российские каналы и документальными фильмами на эти сюжеты.Первым, еще 7 августа, стартовал НТВ
