If Putin had any stones he would throw what's left of Lenin's corpse down the same well that the Romanovs were found.

President Vladimir Putin signed an order last year establishing the "Day of People's Unity," designed to commemorate Moscow's liberation from Polish invaders in 1612.
A Russian Orthodox Church leader earlier this week compared the holiday to Victory Day, the major holiday marking the World War II defeat of A Russian Orthodox Church leader earlier this week compared the holiday to Victory Day, the major holiday marking the World War II defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945 a holiday many Russians see as the proudest moment in the nation's history.
Hmmmm... what a nice company we've got in, don't you think?
I really can't get rid of an impression, that the Russians simply love us. :-))))
And don't forget, that some Russian guys here maintain, that Poland is for Russia nothing more that some small, meaningless country.

I guess we should say "Happy Holiday" to our Russian friends, whatever the day is called.

It is an EXCELLENT idea.

Human rights activist Lyudmila Alexeyevna lamented the fact that the anti-immigrant groups were being allowed to hold rallies on a holiday ostensibly intended for national unity.

I guess Ludmilla has forgotten Beslan and the Moscow theater terror among many many other terrorist actions. Russia is bordered by Islamic terrorists who seek to undermine Russia just as they have throughout most of Russia's history.
If anything Putin has not been aggressive enough in destroying these scum.

And don't forget, that some Russian guys here maintain, that Poland is for Russia nothing more that some small, meaningless country.And always been a small country ;) That explains the alergy of most of the Ruskies on everything Polish. Such a country "was in" Moscow for 2 years. LOL.
As far as I can make it out, Russia or SU is strong with help of Nazis (1939), with help of winter and strategy of burnt land (both Napoleon and Nazis).
In other cases they can't defeat Poland, Afghanistan or Chechnya.

Pray that Russia and all the world may have an identity built on the Sacred Union of Jesus and the Blessed Virgin.

I don't suppose this 'freedom from Polish occupation' theme has anything to do with the fact that we are developing such a cozy relationship with Poland, does it? It almost sounds like something Pravda would publish to give a not-so-subtle warning to the marriage.

Russia should rather think about a holidday celebrating the invention of wodka. Them they could say with pride:
Exegi monumentum aere perennius.
To: Atlantic Bridge
There are, however, disputes between historians who realy invented vodka. Some say Poles, some Russians...Have no idea what's wright.

Anyway it would be worth celebrating. This Russian-Polish BS from anno domini is just ridicolus.
