 Putin's Interview to TIMES of 12 December 2007 (Part 2)
One of the questions I wanted to ask you has become evident over the course of today's discussion. What do you think about American misconceptions of Russia, the Russian people, you, the Government? What is the reason for this situation? If you were able to address the American people directly and say, "I think you should know the following facts about us. I think there are things you do not understand or maybe have not been told", what main misconceptions would you address?..>>>Readers Comments (0)

 Man Can Live by Bread Alone
By Tatiana Solobaeva
Bread, in one form or another, has been one of the principal forms of food for man since antiquity. When ancient man discovered a food which would keep through the winter months, and could be multiplied in the summer, it could be said that civilization began. Loaves and rolls have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs. Bread, both leavened and unleavened, is mentioned in the Bible many times. The ancient Greeks and Romans knew bread for a staple food. The trade of a baker is one of the oldest crafts in the world. All through the ancient days, bread and bakers were held in the highest respect. This respect lives on to our times, for what would we do without our bakers?..>>>Readers Comments (0)

 Interview with Volodya Brodyansky: Bread that has a taste of life
By Kahue
During soviet times Volodya Brodyansky graduated for the Shchoukin Academy, the most famous Theatre Academy of Russia, having entered the actors’ department, but leaving the Academy as a Theatre producer. Yet he didn’t go in for professional Theatre – “I just didn’t want to live in a state of war that most theatre companies have”, he says. He instead launched an amateur Theatre. His first play was a success but at the same time it predetermined his difficult relationship with the soviet authorities. Critics didn’t fail to notice the producer’s bitter feeling about the existing political system and the situation in the country. KGB agents would come and make meaningful insinuations to the directory of the Theatre and shadow Vladimir himself...>>>Readers Comments (0)

 Zara Answers Julia at Neva News...
By Julia Ivanova
Zara was born on July 26, 1983. This carries with it the numerological influence of number 8 which suggests these people are children of fate: Noble, devoted and hard working people who are nevertheless influenced by a pronounced fatalistic vibration, reserved and shy, yet with a deep inner strength. The compound birth number 26 suggests the person should follow their own intuition and not be led by others. The name Zara resonates to the number 11, which suggests two forces or two desires stand apart and must ultimately unite for happiness...>>>Readers Comments (2)
