Extremism Existing and Politically Partisan
Dmitry Kolbasin 09.10.2008

In 2008 in Russia struggle against extremist activity became rather popular. Representatives of both nongovernmental organizations and the state bodies speak about inadmissibility of discrimination and war with extremism. But there is one key and basic difference. The Russian Criminal Code carries all crimes of an extremist character including excitation of enmity to the crimes against state security. Act of force motivated by hatred including national, political, ideological and religious is attributed to the crimes against public safety. For this reason the Russian law-enforcement system tries to protect public safety. While society remains unprotected. >>

05.10.2008

It was promised that in 2005 new rocket "Bulava" would pass into service. It was, actually, a critical term - a backlog for ever followed. The result is known.

At existing rates of bringing into action of ballistic missiles - 5-7 pieces in a year - we have another two years. It turns out that in 10 years we shall have on arms of Naval strategic forces 3 pieces of PLA with ballistic missiles onboard.

Soviet Is Worked out, Russian Is Not Present, There Is Nothing to Fire
05.10.2008

Armed forces of Russia completely worked out a stock of arms and military equipment got from the Soviet Union, therefore it's necessary to speed up supplies of the army with new samples of arms, Director of Armaments of Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - the deputy minister of defense of the Russian Federation, general - colonel Vladimir Popovkin said in interview to the newspaper "Krasnaya Zvezda" on Thursday.

Кalashnikov Маxim 20.09.2008

Having got involved in new cold war with the West the Kremlin white - blue - red macaques (in this case - of no longer Yeltsin's but Petersburg sample) rushed to fight without national bank system, with bitten industry, with split and sick society, at monstrous even in comparison with the Soviet time food dependence on abroad. They did it having no distinct and precise plan of development of the country ("Putin's plan" is a set of ultraliberal inconcrete delirium), without plan of new industrialization of the country and its technological breakthrough, without formed NIS - national innovative system. With monstrous corruption in the state apparatus and large corporations. With rotten and sickening Russia "pop - culture".

Not Ready to War!
Каlashnikov Maxim 12.08.2008

So, the first in a history war between former republics of the USSR broke out - there were intrarepublican wars before. Besides, the Russian army for the first time from the conflict on island Damansky (1969) faced regular opponent - up to that there were wars with irregular enemies having no armoured vehicles, air defene or artilleries.

Few Words about Future Strategic Aviation of Ukraine
Baranov Anatoly 05.08.2008

The question about private - state consortium for restoration of nuclear defensive potential of Ukraine raised by Vladimir Filin, probably, is a key in the given question.
