PETITION - Temporarily inoperable. It works on German and French versions.
We require that Russian government departments should abide by the inner and international laws on human right, freedom of conscience and religion. We require that long-term persecution against Vladimir Petrovich Melichov (Podolsk) for his nonconformity of thinking which now has transformed into sheer intimidation and threatening of his and the members of his family should be stopped.
Vladimir Petrovich Melichov is a prominent representative of the Cossack movement in Podolsk and Cossack’s village Elanskaya. He is also the founder and the director of the museums of anti-Bolshevik resistance situated in these towns. That was because of his efforts that a chapel in memory of destroyed by the Stalin regime in 1945 Cossacks was built on the Cossack cemetery in Lienz (Austria). He himself, however, did not manage to visit the ceremony of opening and sanctification of the chapel. He was detained in the airport of Domodedovo as the frontier guards claimed that his passport was invalid because it missed a page. Later Melichov said that this missing page was cut out by the guards who tried not to let him leave the country. (echo.msk.ru/blog/melihov_v)
The same way three more members of Cossack’s movement were refused to leave the country: Oleg Gaponov, Yevgeny Shevchuk and Vladimir Kalita.

Bata’s plan was to transform his business from a local to a global manufacturing enterprise. To accomplish this task Bata needed a deeper understanding of the worldwide footwear market.

BBC iPlayer - 1945: The Savage Peace
When the Second World War ended, the people of liberated Europe celebrated their freedom from Nazi tyranny. Their years of suffering had ended, but for millions of Germans, the end of the conflict opened a new and terrible chapter. The Savage Peace reveals the appalling violence meted out to the defeated, especially to those ethnic Germans who had lived peacefully for centuries in neighbouring countries.
An interesting program on BBC 2 this evening showing what was happening in Germany in 1945 whilst we in Britain were celebrating victory in Europe. I did feel the program pointed more towards crimes committed by the Soviets after the war, where I'm sure us Brits, the French and Americans weren't exactly saints. Still a very sad and moving account of post war Europe though.

Book Review
No Simple Victory
by Norman Davies
To the historian of Poland, the history of all Europe looks different. Ordinarily, Eastern Europe is thought to begin somewhere around Prague, with everything beyond relegated to mystery and backwardness. Half a century behind the Iron Curtain only deepened the traditional estrangement, making it seem natural to regard countries with very different identities as part of a monolithic Eastern Bloc. People who instinctively recognize the difference between the Germans and the Dutch feel no need to understand the difference between Ukrainians and Poles, or between Serbs and Croats — until they start to kill one another, whereupon they become examples of "age-old," unchangeable hatreds. This state of affairs has been decried over and over again by writers such as Milan Kundera, who once protested the way "a Western country like Czechoslovakia has been part of a certain history, a certain civilization, for a thousand years and now, suddenly, it has been torn from its history and rechristened ‘The East.'"

Conan O'Brien once joked that Czechoslovakia was split into two separate parts in 1993: Slovakia, and the good part. It's true that except for the occasional headline touting a Slovak economic miracle, the CR has received the better press since the two went their separate ways. Jan Telensky, a Czech-born U.K. property owner who estimates his real-estate holdings at £500m, struck back last week in the Financial Times. The Slovaks overtook the Czechs because of the Czech mentality, he said. "In Prague, they're always boasting, bullshitting and pretending, and they've always been like that," he said. "If a tree fell across the road, a car full of Czechs would turn around and take a long diversion, but a car full of Slovaks would get out and move the tree." He said he sold his Czech plastics business because he was tired of the Czech bullshit and baffle-brains. But of course he's just a complex-ridden émigré.
