A blog about business, politics and other stuff in Russia, Belarus and worldwide. October 27, 2010. Good relations between Brussels and Moscow are bad news for official Minsk. There are two noticeable, although not decisive, factors that stand in the way of Russian-Western rapprochement and that sooner or later will inevitably arise as issues within this cooperation. The first is the authoritarian regime in Russia. The second is Belarus under president Aliaksandr Lukashenka. Anyway stay up the nice quali...

A blog about business, politics and other stuff in Russia, Belarus and worldwide. December 15, 2009. The Russian Way of Being Free. My article for Novaja Europa. About freedom and Russian mentality.

Some Belarusian journalists support the official Belarus' position on the reasonable ground that a customs union, which our countries seem to be building together with Kazakhstan, by definition means removal of customs barriers and not their introduction. Nevertheless,...

Non-Russian music from Russia. Having listened to Huun-Huur-Tu, the famous Tuvan throat-singing band, I got inspired to search for some other non-slavonic music from Russia.
