‘how raw file looks’ - an #article in #russian. (features #odzun monastery in #lori, #armenia) there are a lot of greens because of the design of bayer matrix. #raw #matrix #sensor
theoretically the word “entrance” in russian has to be written as “подъезд”, not “под’езд”. this practice to use the apostrophe sign instead of the letter have been widely used back in 20ies, when bolsheviks were enforcing new orphography. armed people in loose-fitting uniform jackets and armed with mausers were confiscating the letters used in old orphography from printing houses, among them this “hard sign” letters. that is why people were using apostrophe signs instead of them.

And another building at the opposite side - I have managed to walk around it when I was able to escape my attendants - it didn’t even have an entrance. The interesting thing is that in the evening there were lights in the windows, but when I looked at them closely, I have discovered, that all of them were the same lamps. Probably, there is some system, which turns lights on simultaneously in the evening, to create an impression of a inhabited building, though it’s empty, and it has no entrance. Everything is fake there.

There is a discussion now in the Duma about the possibility of introducing of exit visas for citizens of Russia. Radio station “Speaks Moscow” quoted the statement Vadim Solovyov - the deputy chairman of the Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Construction.
“Now we get a lot of proposals to introduce the exit visas. Official Foreign Ministry officials and security officers will explain the citizen which kind of dangers he might have if he leave a country. And when he got the official information, signs that, says yes, I know, I know the case, I was warned, and, nevertheless, I insist, then he should be given the opportunity to go, “- he said.

I had to enter that building, which is called “Dom Moskvy”, exactly like that, there is no translation to Armenian or English, so it does not call “House of Moscow” or something like that. Whatever, I had to enter it. I have entered it, and there are several doors, transparent doors. all of them - locked. I was waiting for some of them to open. No electronics, of course. It is called “Moscow”! Okay, how do I enter this? And then I notice the piece of paper with inscription - “ВХОД”. Just a piece of paper. It means “Entrance” in Russian. Okay, I was thinking where to push, eventually just pushed glass and entered the building.
After I had my conversation at reception I told them:
— you know, it was kinda hard to understand where to go at the entrance.
— there is an inscription - “Vkhod” - she told me.
— yes, but first it’s necessary to notice that, and secondly - I don’t read Russian.
Now yes, I read Russian. I know it perfectly. And I like that I know it perfectly. (: But almost all of my friends - don’t, since they were raised or even born in Syria, Iran, Netherlands, USA, etcetera. And I know how they suffer from the assumptions that each and every Armenian has to know Russian. This is one of those situations - it’s a trifle, but you don’t feel comfortable because of that trifle. Same is at the train station. Since Russia got our railways, they don’t write the list of races in Armenian. Only in Russian. When I asked at the cashier’s desk - they told me - “you can ask us, if you are illiterate, and we can explain you”. Okay, what if I don’t want to ask, can you print it in Armenian as well? “No”, - they said. “We won’t”.
So I told her I don’t know Russian. Can they print the same paper in Armenian, indicating that it’s an entrance?
— No - she answered. It’s a Russian building.
And that’s not a good thing to tell if you want someone just to leave. What does it mean it’s a Russian building? It means you expect only people who knows Russian? You have hell of offices in this buildings, are you sure no other person can come?
— It’s located in Yerevan, Republic of Armenia - I said. We have the law regarding the language.
She didn’t even want to talk about it. “It’s a Russian building” - she said. - “That’s all. We won’t add another inscription”.
That’s it.
I don’t feel happy because of similar stories. I don’t feel happy at all.

russian is a very interesting language. they have this “общаться” (intercommunicate), then “общество” (society), which becomes “сообщество” (community) and they also have this word “сообща” - to do something together, verbatim - by communicating with each other.

This article is about people who left Russia because of recent developments, i. e. worsening of situation with rights, freedom, education, and everything, who have abandoned a hope that if they stay they can live in a normal civilized country. Text is in #Russian language.
When you come to Israel, you feel warmth of incredible strength. I never felt that before. People around support you, help you. First two months, when I was walking the streets, those who found out that I have made aliyah, were saying the same phrase: “Welcome home!”. That was so touchy I wanted to cry. Those were people who didn’t know you. Taxi drivers. Sellers. Whoever. They are just happy to welcome you.
I like how Israeli medicine is designed. We make an appointment on the Internet. We arrive - no queues. There is a piece of paper at the door of the doctor with your name and the time at which the office door will open just for you. Almost everything is free, we only pay some coins for special procedures. There are two kinds of pharmacy stores in Israel - regular pharmacies, and pharmacies that attached to hospital cashier desks. When you have a prescription, it does not make sense to go to the regular pharmacy, because if you go to the one served by the hospital then significant part of the cost is paid by the state.
I wish Armenia could welcome repatriates like that.

We caught these policemen who took bribes, and the judge freed them. There is this “collective responsibility” among them. These policemen can now drink somewhere abroad with this judge making fun of us, who tries to fight corruption.

M. S.: It seems that prosecutor’s office continues to practice superintendence functions. In Vilkovo one enterpreneur started to build a ferry way, and he got a mail from prosecutor’s office: provide documents so that we can open a case against you. Do you aware about it?
Prosecutor: No, no such thing. But it fits, in principle, in the prosecutor’s responsibilities.
M. S.: I’m sorry, scaring investors as soon as they come is the functional responsibilities of the prosecutor’s office? This, my dear, is called racketeering! Is banditry a functional duty of the prosecutor’s office? …
M. S.: I saw those prosecutors like you. By the way, I saw them in prison later …

Minkin’s article was the best.
When your ally fully depends on you; when he has nowhere else to go; when not only his well-being is in your hands, but also his life… Then the ally like that is called hostage. And if he supports you in anything, that’s very similar to “Stockholm Syndrome”. http://echo.msk.ru/blog/minkin/1535456-echo/

I have translated one of comments from here
I believe it’s not possible to look at the problem of language in Ukraine from the refined point of view.
Let’s ask the question - should you invite relatives to your house? Yes. But what if relatives are thieves? Then you should not. This is the difference between the “refined” and real question.
In the refined way, - two language state and calling relatives for a dinner is a good way, but in realistic way - it’s dangerous.
Thus I would like to stress two problems. Even three.
First - attacks on neighbor states are started from mentioning Russian speaking people. By mentioning so called compatriots - though it’s hard in Russia, after the defeat of USSR. Everybody is compatriot.
And the second question. Isn’t aversion of a language a reflection? Dislike toward Russian was born in Latvia, Ukraine, may be Georgia. Not because the language is bad, but because it serves as Trojan horse.
It is used to ride in, and then bereave of land. Thus, it is necessary to blame not the language, and not play games by using it, as Kremlin is doing, but give up using the language as a mean of taking away the lands. That’s it.
And supplementary question - why nobody worries about language in Asia? Why only Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, and Georgia?
Why we see that in East European countries, but not in Asia, where it’s stronger?
And the last. Recently, by jesting Klichko, separatists uploaded a video. He makes a slip in speaking.
But I wonder. Klichko, when he was speaking in one of the Kiev schools, speaks great, pure Russian language. And kids can understand him. Ukrainian major, Ukrainian kids, but the language of communication - Russian. That’s even after annexation of Crimea and fire in Donbass.
And then, in the corridors, Klichko speaks Ukrainian, where he’s being “trapped” by separatists.
Can you imagine that any major in Russia can have a talk, even in a Russian village, in Ukrainian language?
Who is more tolerant then?

True: we made mistakes. We tried too hard to pander to Russia in the Yeltsin era, ignoring the growth of corruption, authoritarianism and revanchism. We overlooked Russians’ resentment as their country drifted from the European mainstream and our vulnerability to the steps they could take in response. We neglected Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and the countries of the Caucasus. The Blair government was bewitched by the Putin regime’s offer of cooperation against Islamist terrorism in 2001. We have been frequently dazzled by the spurious commercial prospects offered by Russia – in particular BP’s decision to form an alliance with Rosneft, the main Russian oil company, was a shameful example of greed and short-sightedness.
very good paper by Edward Lucas

two texts in Russian about trip to Artsakh: first, second.
Of course the author does not get it, there is no developed democracy, but even less free state than Armenia, if we can relate to them as to separate states. Anyway, might be interesting reading.

My country is sick with aggressive ignorance, nationalism and imperialistic megalomania.
Civilization reached dead end. Science, education, cognition, art did not succeed in taming human aggression. Formerly it seemed that culture is able to overcome these self-destructive aspirations, but I’m afraid human race has almost no time left.

facepalm,
In a tense exchange with Armenian pro-government lawmakers, Dmitry Kiselyov warned that Armenia will put its security alliance with Russia at serious risk unless it grants Russian an official status
http://www.azatutyun.am/content/article/25418743.html
why? it is not enough for them to force us to “join” their “union”, now they need Russian as an official language in our monoethnic country. Btw, Russian is still tought in schools, as a second language.

It's enough to feed the <b>gooks</b>, go to their kiosks, food markets (where 99% insanitation), use their facilities for buildings or maintainance, etc. Think of it, gooks quantity increases, they come here with whole families, with their norms and traditions, having them as neighbourhood, threatens interests of title nation. By going to such places, You with that actions, with full inertia of the state, breed their presence in the RF territory, who later buy passports of RF citizen and enjoy full rights of the owner of our land. We survived 1921-1945, and 1917-1990 but in 2090 we will destroy ourselves, the remains will find themselves in moslem slavery. Think, Slavonians...
