MAY 4, 2025 TODAY'S READ "LECHAIM" (JEWISH CULTURE MAGAZINE)

English language: I've been browsing the internet trying to figure out if neo-Nazism is really gaining ground in Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania? Oddly enough, I can't even seriously discuss this topic in Russia now, because although it's a favorite topic for Russian television, but what if you say something wrong or start a discussion, as the dragon says to the archivist in Mark Zakharov's film "To Kill the Dragon": "Maybe you'll start a discussion here?" Anyway, I read this article on the Lechaim website (in Russian), but I won't comment on it. The story of the fascist butcher from Riga is horrific in itself. It's unclear why Mossad decided to kill him? Why couldn't he be arrested and tried openly? (Lechaim "Yad Vashem Condemns Latvia's Justification of the "Butcher of Riga" Herberts Cukurs", April 23, 2025, https://lechaim.ru/news/yad-vashem-osudil-opravdanie-latviej-myasnika-rigi-gerberta-tsukursa/#:~:text=%D0%AF%D0%B4%20%D0%92%D0%B0%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%BC%20%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BB,23%C2%A0%D0%B0%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F)

Russian language (на русском языке): Просматривал весь интернет, пытаясь понять, действительно ли неонацизм набирает силу в Латвии, Эстонии, Литве? Как ни странно, сейчас в России я не могу всерьёз обсуждать даже эту тему, потому что хотя это и любимая тема для российского телевидения, но вдруг что-нибудь скажешь не так, или начнёшь дискуссию, как говорит архивариусу дракон в фильме Марка Захарова «Убить дракона»: «Может вы ещё тут дискуссию начнёте?». В общем я прочитал в интернете на вебсайте Лехаим эту статью (на русском языке), а комментировать не буду. Сама по себе история фашистского мясника из Риги ужасна. Непонятно, почему Моссад решил его убить? Почему нельзя было его арестовать и судить открыто? (Лехаим "Яд Вашем осудил оправдание Латвией “мясника Риги” Герберта Цукурса", 23 апреля 2025, https://lechaim.ru/news/yad-vashem-osudil-opravdanie-latviej-myasnika-rigi-gerberta-tsukursa/#:~:text=%D0%AF%D0%B4%20%D0%92%D0%B0%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%BC%20%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BB,23%C2%A0%D0%B0%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F)

May 2, 2025 TODAY'S READ "WIKIPEDIA, YAHAD-IN UNUM"

I read today Wikipedia, Yahad-In Unum, — this article about a project to find all victims of Holocaust.

"Yahad - In Unum (YIU) (“Together in One”) is a French organization founded to locate the sites of mass graves of Jewish victims of the Nazi mobile killing units, especially the Einsatzgruppen, in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania and Moldova. It was founded in Paris in 2004 by leaders in the French Roman Catholic and Jewish communities. YIU is led by Father Patrick Desbois, a Catholic priest whose grandfather was a French soldier deported to the Nazi prison camp Rava-Ruska, located in a Ukrainian town that borders Poland. Its United States fundraising branch is known as the American Friends of Yahad - In Unum." (Wikipedia, Yahad-In Unum).

March 9, 2025. AWFUL ESSAY ABOUT ETHNIC ID

Awful Essay About Ethnic ID, I Have Read Today

I read today awful essay about what is ethnic ID in the conflict. The essay is awful because it seems all the demographics mixed up, eg. Voronezh region called as populated by Ukrainians who were russifed by Soviet Government, etc. Velvl Chernin says also that he was watching as ethnic Russian group in Ukraine were voluntarily agreeing to be ethnic Ukrainian, and Velvl Chernin says that this is good, because, he says, the same was when Soviet Jews changed their ethnic ID from Soviet to Jewish. The essay looks very amateurish and non-academic. It's very strange to see that amateurish essay on the The Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies' website, because the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies seems to be a renowned consultant think tank for NATO, RAND Corporation, and other serious political institutions (see: Velvl Chernin Russia vs. Ukraine: From Interstate to Interethnic Conflict, April 18, 2024, Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, https://besacenter.org/russia-vs-ukraine-from-interstate-to-interethnic-conflict/).

March 5, 2025. My new draft MY MISTIRIUS AUTUMN IN SARAJEVO

MY MISTIRIUS AUTUMN IN SARAJEVO

(Draft of my new fiction book. The title is just conditional)

The Draft Plot

An American politician Michael MacSharlant traveled to Europe and died during a stop in Sarajevo. His body was found in the hotel "Marjoram". No faul play was found on body. FBI sent a team of two detectives to investigate the reason of death.
The same time, a Quint session held in Sarajevo and one of politicians from Germany unexpectadly died in the same Hotel "Marjoram". The Quint is an informal decision-making group consisting of the United States, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. (Wikipedia, Quint (international coalition)).

Part 1 New York City

FBI officer George O'Dounnell, sitting at State Investigative department desk in New York City, was rereading a new task, that chief has handed him over: an American diplomat Michael MacSharlant was found dead in the Capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, City of Sarajevo. The lights in office were still not turned up, so he started to watch New York's landscape over dusty window. All the window was full of skyscrapers, a shiny advertisement winking from corner, and small amount of gray sky of autumn somehow in the gap between stones. It's time to go home to have a good dinner by Daisy, and a good sleep until next morning, but Chief gave him a new case abroad. It means you have a big journey on a jet plane instead of your cosy sofa.
O'Dounell has seen a man going to him. Gray costume and all average characteristics mean usually the CIA.
-Hello, I'm Joe Doherty, CIA officer in New York City. Do you George O'Dounell?
-What if I do?
-Are you investigating case of Michael MacSharlant?
-Why of course.
-His wife found dead today in the morning in her appartments by home worker.
-Well, I still have no report about it. Was any faul play found?
-Yes, she was killed with a gun. Want to see?
-We now ride to MacSharlant's appartments?
-It's appartments not of MacSharlant's. She was killed in her father's house. Eric MacKartney is owner of the appartments on the 9th avenue where she was found.
-The Eric MacKartney who is the Governor of State of New York?
-What if he does?
-May I take my collegue with us?
Doherty has showed that he doesn't care about a collegue, so O'Dounell took his gun in the chest, and moved down the corridor of FBI Department towards Jessica's desk. Doherty follows him.
FBI officer Jessica Ponetto was his companion to travel to Bosnia to investigate the case of MacSharlant.
She was laying all the papers in order on her desk to give her desk clean look before the long journey to Bosnia when O'Donnel said her that the wife of MacSharlant was also dead.
-Then what we do? - asked Jessica, -Do we investigate the death of Michael MacSharlant or do we investigate the death of his spouse?
-Probably, we investigate the death of both, - said O'Dounnell.

Jan 20, 2025 Searching for law about persecution of Christians in Soviet Union

Today I start thinking about law in Soviet Union that prohibited the right to believe in Jesus Christ in the late period of Soviet Union (Gorbachev's period). How it was precisely? I found that Gorbachev allowed in fact for the Orthodox Church to believe free on October 1, 1990 with the Soviet law "On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations", but I now recall that some witnesses have said that the "sect" of Christian Baptist Church, was anyway persecuted, and Baptists, who were giving away, e.g., just a Gideon Brothers pocket Bible, were arrested for the spreading of Anti-Soviet propaganda and sentenced to 6 years of jail or labor camp. Has the anti-Christian law really existed or I am wrong? So, I have read today all the websites about that. Actually, it's of course impossible to read all the websites, and I am joking. I found, for e.g., that even today, if you want to read the Bible to people (more than 10 persons strong in a room or a public space), you should register your "group", or "organisation", otherwise it's illegal.

You should also prolong the registration every year in local administration. So, if Jesus Christ could live in the modern Russia instead the Biblical Judaea, he should visit first a local administration for registration, and only after the registration of a group of Twelve Apostles to go to the sea of Galelee, etc. Seems the Judaea , a Roman province in the period of time of Jesus Christ, was much more free land for believers than the modern Russia? In all, that what I was doing today — searching for the Soviet law: why Soviet Union regime, having Gorbachev reform "Perestroika", had yet persecuted the Baptists; wich law regulated the persecution; and why this had stopped? Was it under Boris Eltsin? Was Eltsin had repealed a Soviet law? How it was happened?

In the conclusion, I should mention that many politologists consider that in modern Russia happening now a rebuilding of Soviet law system, e.g, the Jehovah's Witnesses (that I can call a Christian sect similar Baptist Church) was completely banned recently in Russia as an extremist organisation.
