Don't waste your time and effort to convince all readers about your role in spreading the "mean-spirited Russian hypocricy".
Your role is so obvious.

Even though the Kremlin would love to portray any talk about the Circassian cause as a Western plot, no Russian historians have tried to deny that the Circassian ancestors fell victims to the 19th cent. Russian conquest of the Caucasus, about the same time Moscow subjugated the peoples of Chechnia, Dagestan and Ingushetia.

Russian General Yevdokimov became well known for the brutality of his forces in driving the Circassians out of their homeland and into the Ottoman Empire. The territory now known as western Caucasus and the Black Sea coast of Abkhasia lost most of its ancient settlements when the population was forced to flee toward the coast only to be forcibly transported by the Russians to the Ottoman Empire.
Some historians had estimated the Circassian casualties of the Russian campaign at well over one million. Some authors have used the term 'Circassian massacres' for the consequences of the Russian conquests of the region.

One can debate 'ad infinitum' if it would be realistic to reverse history by re-creating a Circassian state, but the fact remains that generations of Circassians in Turkey as well as those spread all over the Middle East and Europe have retained their identity, their language and their aspirations to re-gain and re-build their homeland. Indeed, with the focus of the world turning on Sochi the Circassians have a 'golden' opportunity to make their case known worldwide.

Its all a matter of degree. By the way, why don't you try to be elected president without being a manipulator ? That includes Russia.

Nostalgia.

I think you must have liked Hollande's Cavalry Regiment in their parade uniforms ! Sort of like Napoleon's army getting trained for a march all the way to Moscow ! Where were Putin's Don Cossaks Guards ?

"America knows that a couple of Topols can send America into fluffy stuff"

Have you been promoted to the Chief of Staff of the Russian Airforce ? The last time I recall you were pretending to be a Commanding Admiral of the Russian Black Sea Naval Task Force.
Oh, by the way, how many "Topols" do you have that can actually fly all the way to New York or Chicago and return ? Unless you are planning a one way mission ?

The problem is not with TE eliminating a few posts, the problem is with halucinations of some contributors, with you being a prime example.

You wrote: "some posters that write about present Russia like nothing has changed still fighting communist ideology."

NO, most posters, other then you, know the difference between communist ideology and Russian centuries old empire-building.
Some of your own posts about communism are so naive one cannot help but wonder what edition of Lenin's 'Combined Marxist Ideology' you have been using. Since you claim you are not a Russian,at least you must have taken some courses in Marxism-Leninism. Or else, you are just copying word for word instructions sent to you by your employers.

TE wrote: "a young man who works as the local rep for the Moscow-Helsinki Group, an international human-rights body."
That at one time in the past the Moscow-Helsinki Group was indeed an international human-rights group defending the right of Soviet prisoners of conscience to a free expression, that is a know fact. That Moscow has decided to use the Helsinki Group's name now for propaganda purposes is not unique. The Helsinki Final Act has been manipulated by the Soviet regime to deflect criticism of human rights abuses. It is now used by the KPB (Kremlin Propaganda Bureau) to confuse the ignorant and the naive.

Seems like due to Putin-decreed 'labour mobility' you must have been re-assigned to another 'labour-mobility' task where you are prohibited from commenting on the racial-ethnic origins of Stalin's wifes or for that matter on the origin of such Stalin's faithful 'emissaries' as Rudolf Slansky, Jacub Berman, Roman Zambrowski (Nussbaum), Jacek Rozanski (Goldberg), Anna Pauker, and thousands of others. That's not to mention your obvious resistance to even mentioning a rather long list of names of Putin's contemporaries who, for some reason known only to the Kremlin insiders, prefer to keep their wealth out of Putin's reach.

Here is the latest of several articles (in English) by the German 'Der Spiegel' for readers who have been following German doctors' role in what has become an intense public relations drama or commedy played out in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv where Yulia Tymoshenko has been transferred to a super-secure wing of a hospital supposedly for medical treatment. So far there have been only displays of bureaucracy and of stubborn, unyielding show of strong will by the Yanukovych team against which German doctors employed all the media publicity they can generate. In medical terms the progress has been ZERO.

Der Spiegel begins: "German doctors have hardly begun their treatment of the jailed Ukrainian politician Yulia Tymoshenko, and yet they already seem to have failed. The confusing situation at the hospital, complicated by mixed messages from the government and invasive security, has proven to be wildly frustrating."

"giving unknowingly Russian military too much credit"

TOO MUCH is exactly correct. Russian military did not fight the Korean war, did not fight the Vietnam war, and LOST the intervention in Afghanistan. In Korea Stalin supplied the necesary equipment and inttelligence and China supplied the 'volunteers'. In Afghanistan Russian equipment and Russian command were next to useless against the locals. Ask any Afghan veteran !

So much for "credit" to the Russkis.
Indeed, the Russians suffered the same defeat at the hands of the Chechens as they have in Afghanistan.

Geee, you have a short memory about such events as the Korean war, Vietnam, even Afghanistan. I suppose you have never heard of the North Koreans, equipped and supplied by the USSR, invading the South and using actual lead bullets, not plastic immitations, to kill people ?
And you have never heard of the Viet Kong or who supplied them for decades in their fight with other Vietnamese ? And, of course, the Soviet "expedition" into Afghanistan had never happened, right ? Well, maybe you should verify that part with the Afghan veterans in Ukraine, Russia, elsewhere, - young men who were drafted into the Soviet army units to fight on behalf of corrupt Afghan communist warlords.

I know, such facts have been erased from the Russian editions of what is known as "Kremlin's Encyclopedia of World History" which is the only source you use.

Which asylum on some strange planet do you live on ?

NO, NO correrection. Lazar Kaganovich was a Russified Jew, a 'junior' partner in crime of the Jewish Commissar Leon Trotsky and a 'brother in arms' of such other Jewish commissars as Genrikh Yagoda who headed the Soviet secret police.

You should read Solzhenitsyn who described how Yagoda's black vans roamed the streets of St. Petersburg, known then as Leningrad, to round up "class enemies" such as former Russian aristocracts, civil servants, former professionals, anyone who did not fit the 'revolutionary' image. That was also a part of your infamous 'labour mobility'!
As to Joe or Soso Yugashvili, well he obviously liked to have Jewish wifes, didn't he ? Maybe you can explain why ? So did other Politbureau members like Molotov, who signed the August 1939 deal with Ribbentrop ! How about Karl Marx himself, the father of marxism ?

Now that's a new one, even for you - "labour mobility". Indeed Stalin's trusted partner in crime Lazar Kaganovich significantly increased Soviet "labour mobility" by deporting millions of unrully Ukrainian peasants ('kulaks') due to their resistance to collectivisation. And the NKVD Chief Yezhov improved 'labour mobility' in late 1930s by deporting and/or executing tens of thousands for such typical sins as being an 'imperialist spy', 'enemy of the people', "counterrevolutionary', etc. And his successor and Stalin's friend Beria made his major contribution to the Soviet 'labour mobility' by sending to Gulags hundreds of thousands of Crimean Tartars, Chechens and others as well as millions of Polish, Hungarian, Romanian, German, Italian, Japanese and other POWs. Oh, and lets not forget the 'labour mobility' of hundreds of thousands of former Red army soldiers returning from captivity in 1945 who had to be "re-educated" working in Siberian mines, building the Trans-Siberian railway and similar tasks. Indeed, for a great majority of all these people their "mobility" ended somewhere in unmarked graves. There were many others 'labour mobility' schemes too numerous to mention.

That may be your opinion, but its not a proven fact. Keep in mind that Christianity is NOT the most widely practiced religion worldwide. One would have to compare membership of all religions with each other and with atheism. But then we are digressing from the subject matter.

Yes, you are right on target, Putin's extravagant Sochi ideas given ".. the country's poor human-rights record, its glaring wealth inequality, its corruption and its growing international isolation".
What is there to explain ? Have you not seen a growing list of Russian billionnaires ? Or, for example, the way the Russian State budget finances extravagant habits of Putin's favoured "President of Chechnia" ? Haven't you read about the former Moscow's mayor Yuri Luzhkov and his billionnaire wife with properties in Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, etc. ? The list of known, but unpunished 'mischiefs' by the Russian political elite is a mile long, what about all their as yet unknown deeds ?

When making comparisons you should avoid a selective memory. Chechnia is a constituent part of the RF, not a foreign land. Sadam's brutality against the Kurds is well known. So is his war with Iran and invasion of Kuwait. Comparing him to Chechnia is plain nonsense.

Chechniahas been in revolt against Russian occupation for several generations. So has Dagestan. Putin's suppresion of the Moslems in the Caucasus has been more than brutal. Yet they are citizens of the RFederation which includes millions of Moslems.
This has nothing to do with 'Cold war nostalgia', it has a lot to do with historic Russian imperial traditions.

Here is one possible reason for the predicament:
"The Czech Republic is the most atheist currently existing country at 39.9 percent. They're followed by the French (23.3 percent), the Dutch (19.7 percent), and the Swedes (19.3 percent)".

Have you already sent your detailed strategic plans to the US Joint Chiefs of Staff ?
