Well, he's a man, and he's a Georgian. Do you really think he could even think about NOT helping her up!?
Good point. At least he was a gentleman.
Well, noone said exactly that on TV. But after all this talks about Canadians being "better" (that is subjective) this episode looks more then strange. People here are really angry that someone AGAIN talks that our Champions should lose their medals. I already mentioned Canada Cup 1981.
Ohhhhhh....okay. I was under the impression that that was the case. My bad.
I can understand that being viewed in a little more of a hostile light- I know I'd be pissed.
Interesting. Is anything from that report on the Web? What I see on Euronews and on the Web will give you a... hmmm... strange and biased view on the situation here.
To tell you the truth, I have no idea. I was over at my parents for Thanksgiving, and saw it on the top of the table. I was going out with my Russian girlfriend at the time, and we checked it out together.
I know about the situation there, it's not to be desired, but to be honest, I believe it's better then where y'all were at 20 years ago.
I've been meeting tons of new people, from several of the old bloc states, and some from good ol' Rodina herself, so I like to ask questions about what life was like when they lived there, etc.
My favorite guy to talk to is my ex-gf's grandfather- he was living right outside of Stalingrad during WW2.
I know this a little better. Our former department here in Biochemical Physics Institute works on small radiation exposure, and all Chernobyl material is being analyzed
That's cool. Like I said, I only have several old newspapers, and the rantings of 4 old ladies, 3 old men, and a feisty woman I went out with, hehe.
My ex talked about the enourmous fruits and veggies that year. She has several pictures of 'em.
It's not true.
Ummm.....yeah it is. According to what the above said, anyway.
Like I said, your region (Moscow) might have heard of it before they did.
Like I said- I wasn't there, and all I have are accounts from different people.
It's mostly right, but not completely. Things are much more complicated. Corruption isn't the only problem. IMO - people understand "free enterprise", as they always did, even in Soviet times, but the problem is that bosses should simply let them work. (hehe, and last phrase is another incomplete description, things are too twisted to explain).
After talking to recent immigrants, I can tell ya yer right here
It's umm.....confusing......to say the least.
