Wee hours of the morning.
I just found something that made my day already.
Look at this painting by renowned Russian artist Ilya Repin done in 1891. This is something else.
It was looked as "something else" from the get go, because then the Tsar Alexander III purchased it with 35.000 rubles which was the highest price ever paid for Russian painting at that time.
[Just imagine how crazy he got for it. He was the TSAR, couldn't he ask for a gift? Just saying.]
This is based on historic fact. This episode is one of the pages in the thick book of crush of civilizations between East and West, Christianity and Islam, between Russia, its ally Christian neighbors (Slavic nations, Armenia, Georgia) and Turkey.
Painting is depicting time of Crimean War (1853-1856) when brave Zoporozhian Cossacks' replying to the letter of Turkish sultan, in which he suggest their surrender to his rule.
As you can see they are having very much fun writing that reply letter. Oh, my goodness! I wish I'd be there to cheer them up more.
You have to read both texts. The second one will improve anyone's English. It did mine already.
Actually I know a little more detail in original language which is not really translated correctly.
I mean I can't put it in here either. That is one folklore loaded historic document. It shows not only the bravery of Slavs who were proud of their religion, but also displays their mighty language.
I love it, love it, love it! I'm going to treat myself with a beer today and toast for the honor of those men and Otaman Ivan Sirko. I wish I'd know all their names.
[Who can better safeguard their remains and memory if not Russians nation today?
Crimea is socked by blood and sweat of Russian people in its history. It didn't and doesn't know any other. I was, it is and it will be Russian soil populated by Russians - forever after.
No matter how many bastards controlled by s.tan or sultan can cause blackout there in November of 2015, it will fix the problem and get only stronger. That's all. Point!
Now, enjoy the painting;
You might find a better resolution.
Here is the reply letter.
Zaporozhian Cossacks to the Turkish Sultan!
O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil's kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are you, that can't slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil excretes, and your army eats. You will not, you son of a bitch, make subjects of Christian sons; we've no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck your mother.
You Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw your own mother!
So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won't even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we'll conclude, for we don't know the date and don't own a calendar; the moon's in the sky, the year with the Lord, the day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!
This painting is in St. Petersburg now. Should I be rich, like really, really rich, rich enough to have my own airplane, I'd call my pilot and fly to St. Petersburg today to pay tribute to it.
St. Petersburg is tremendous place for art and art lovers. It have mind boggling museums. The whole city is like a open museum under the sky itself.
I'd be Putin's consultant I'd suggest attaching a copy of this painting to sanctions list and send to erdogan-boy.
Can you ever believe that turks forgot about their bloody noses? Do you know how many wars and how much blood has been shed between these 2 civilizations throughout centuries?
I'll tell you; clash of these 2 civilizations, (except some down times and "co-operations" when far away enemy attacked the both on that continent) has been going on for almost 550 years. 13 wars (not conflicts) from which at least 12 (one is deputed) was won by Russians. What happened, how all over sudden things change so rapidly on "goody-goody" side? Trading goods opened Russia to turks to expend. The problem is that that expansion will only grow and take over. Just by sheer number of people.

Some things never change or change just a little only. This is one of those.
When I saw Putin signing that gas pipeline deal with erdogan-boy a few mouths ago (because idiotic Bulgarians didn't want it to go through their territory), it left a bitter taste in my mouth. Sign a such a big dead with your historic enemy who inside his soul hates you to death? I wouldn't of. Pipeline is not like a tourism when idle people going "places." That you can curb without causing major damage to country's economy.
My gut feeling was right, unfortunately. To me it was wrong for Russians to go to Egypt, Turkey, UAE and elsewhere for vacation or any other reason. In a long run they're weakening their country and their kids' future.
Today especially when Crimea and Donbass need help to survive, RF is hurting economically because of the sanctions, on top of all that got an expenditure of conducting a war in Syria, nobody should spend any ruble outside of their country. That's just my opinion. If everyone does a little bid, not only it will show its positive results, but also will uplift people's moral. They need it there. It's winter, it cold, its expensive to live in such climate. People there should get together, stay together, give comfort and warm up each others' spirits. 1am
6pm. Evening news is in from Moscow.
Last week was a harsh week for relations between Moscow and Ankara, at 1tv.ru/news/world/297186.
[Tell me about it. I cover all on time, day by day. Don't need to go over again.]
But you watch and hear what an expert is saying about the lie that as if turks didn't know who's plane SU-24 plane. At 10:10min expert explains; "no need to think that turkish pilot was an idiot (he uses "cretin") that couldn't determine difference between Russian and Arabic languages.
[He could see clearly and could hear clearly, no doubt. Let's say, he said that he didn't. Fine.
Then, what if he was downing of their "ally" nato plane? That is not a procedure in the air. It requires to establish contact first, and if that is not successful, then go close with F-16 (which is much, much faster than SU-24) and escort it out. None of that happen. No contact was attempted whatsoever. Attack came from nowhere so fast that Russian pilots couldn't respond. It was an AMBUSH! PROVOCATION!
Weather was clear, plane was on 6000 m.only, pilots knew that area very well. Flew 100s of time through that area. Only 17 seconds Russians were close to border. Never crossed it. The proof? How Russian pilots come down in Syrian territory instead of Turkey? Also, pay attention to this; Russian plane was flying back after assignment and had no ammo in it. Could turkish pilot see the direction of the nose of the plane he was hitting?
This was a snake attack. Russians were hit because they didn't expect to be hit. They didn't even see where the fire came from. To me it's a miracle that they managed to eject themselves. They were coming down just to be shut at and ambushed from ground. Then the vermin shoot at 2 helicopters which came to their rescue, down one. Airplane is gone with a pilot and helicopter gone with an infantry man. Who is going to pay for this?
Why there were cameras pointed right where plane was flying? How did that happen? They had a film crew in a war zone? No. The proof? Those with camera were soldiers like scavengers screaming their favorite al#$u%^bar! ]
In 2012 Syrian air-force shut down a Turkish plane in its territory, erdogan-boy was singing very different song. He said "airspace violation does not justify attack." Check it out.
Turkey violates Greece's airspace almost every day. How about that?
Oh, let me tell you about something I heard from Greek journalist on Russian TV. He said that after RF sent S-400s to Mediterranean Greeks sleep much better and thanked Russian government.
Greeks are sick and tired of Turks. Seriously. Look at Cyprus and its history.
Don't go too far, start from 1974. Unfortunately it's a matter of time that Turks will take over. The time count there goes by intensity and frequency of having unprotected sex and fertility rate of their females.
What? Isn't it true?
For rigid conservatives this should be a "beautiful thing." They should promote it and pay for it too!
That's what I am saying.
Turkey had to give Russian officials the body of Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Peshkov and it should be transported home today, at 1tv.ru/news/world/297187.
I didn't even know it was still there. Why so long? I ask. But Kremlin is asking "how it was taken from Syrian "rebels?" Doesn't it suggests that there is a connection between official Ankara and "fighters"
who were on the ground and screaming from joy and dancing around the pilot's body? Why is Ankara
rejecting that fact?
Well, FM Lavrov said that before naming shooters of Russian plane as "te.r.r.sts" and bringing them to justice there will be no reconciliation.
You should watch the whole type. You'll see clearly how prepared bastards were before and after the ambush. At 5:38min. you will see heroic reporter Mikhail Akinchenko and the crew coming under the fire.
There is a suggestion to name an airplane after the commander Peshkov in Khmaymim base were he was working.
10pm, I'm done.
