"Confused" is in your vocabulary; however, I doubt it's usually your experience.

Vladimir Putin dismisses Chief Prosecutor & Customs Official!
***********************************************************************************

I'm disgusted by local journalism, especially in regards to russian affairs. Every article seems vague. Every article seems laced with the "key words:" corruption & questionable underlying motives. Every article seems to hint at some potential disaster...

Are we, as foreigners, keeping the "iron curtain" alive.

Наташа,

Thanks for the compliment!
You are right, every one quickly blames corruption, etc It is tha same in every country, in England, the US, top officials get fired all the time, or they are forced to resign.
Have a good day!

Quote of the day [The origins of totalitariansim; Hannah Arendt]; regarding the political benefits of the decree:

"Its efficiency is superior simply because it ignores all intermediary stages between issuance and application, and because it prevents political reasoning by the people through the withhooding of information. It can easily overcome the variety of local customs and need not rely on the necessarily slow process of develpment of general law. It is most helpful for the establishment of a centralized administration because it overrides automatically all matter or local autonomy. If rule by good laws has sometimes been called the rule of wisdom, rule by appropriate decrees may rightly be called the rule of cleverness (Page 244, 1958)."

If you don't mind, what do you consider to be the main studies or political/cultural influences of your life?

P.S. I've started two more of Wilhelm Reich's books: The Mass Psychology of Fascism & Genitality in the theory and therapy of neurosis.

My father asks, "How are you?"

I reply, "Desperately trying to stay brainwashed in this patriarchal machine of madness."

Diary entry:

In response to those [lay] people who consider my desire to visit and perhaps live in russia to be merely an unsophisticated psychoanalytical desire to:

ESCAPE MY PROBLEMS,

and if, people "are the same everywhere" & societies share similar function(s)....

My personal quote for the day:

IF THE ESSENSE OF FREEDOM EXISTS THEN LET ME CHOOSE MY AGGRESSOR. LET'S SEE WHAT SUBSEQUENT ONSLAUGHT ENSUES.

p.s. Actually, I was rather looking forward to be the cute quiet one (on account I'm not fluent in russian). I watch american men drool especially after hearing..."me speak little english."

Does anybody happen to know whether or not the healthcare system in russian is based on [modeled after]western philosophy?

I might feel apt to say, "God, help us all!" and run out of the kremlin.
