When Russia will be recovered?

I had a fligth from Moscow to Istanbul 05. th of June 2012. I was in the city of Vladimir located 180 km. east of Moscow. I decided to use coach to Moscow. I arrived to train station at 15:02. Just 2 minutes after the previous one moved to Moscow. So I had to use the next one because they remained several hours for the first train to Moscow. There is a timetable in the bus stop. According to the chart the next coach was at 15:30 and even it was already there and accepting the passengers. There were very few passengers and by the time of departure the amount of passengers could not occupie half of the coach's capacity. That s why we did not move and continued to wait. I think the driver considered it would not be profitable to go as half empty. Passengers started to grumble but no result. and finally the driver came and started to collect fees at 16:00. And it took extra 10 minutes more and we could move with a 40 minutes delay. Naturally it appeared a risk of slightly to be late to the airport. the circumstance forced me to be in hurry. In front of Kurkskaya train station in Moscow, I experienced taxi drivers ask for 2 or 3 times more money than normal from foreigners. And then mostly by my wife's advice I prefered to use metro and wonderful Aeroexpress at rush hour.

In Sheremetyova an other surprise was waiting me. Total weight of my two luggages was 27 kilograms. Aeroflot stuff informed me it s 23 kg. the limit for my flight. So I had 4 kilos overweight. He said I should pay for it. But how much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brave or firm now.........

103 Euro with the recent currency. Almost a cheap promotion ticket price.

Aeroflot sales tickets for an adult passenger from Moscow to Istanbul in some cases for almost 100 Euro with a promotion. So they consider 4 kg. extra luggage is equal to an extra passenger. Too much pragmatic. I had to give all my rubles which I planed to exchance into USD. If I did not have cash enough at that moment perhaps I would be late to my flight while searching money.


I am a frequent flying passenger and I have been glad with Aeroflot in general till now. For long time I have preferred to use Aeroflot to my national brand Turkish Airlines. Even I am a member of special Aeroflot Bonus Program. It did not help to give any advantage to me. Free baggage right is 20 kilos in Turkish Airlines. But it s only 7 Euro for each extra kilo. They would ask for 28 Euro from me for extra 4 kilos.






All these examples are signs of a mentality to save today for a price of tomorrow. Bus driver could find a way of a more profitable trip by being late and Aeroflot did it by over prices but in fact these acts frustrate Russia. By rendering an image of to be the country of unrealiable and to distrustful approaches. If people globally have hesitations for reasonable prices and decent business life in Russia, everybody feels the negative effects including those behave sly. It prevents Russia to enter the first league with an advanced bussiness life. Nevertheless, such an image may cause Russian consumers to trust foreigners more for business and it will have a reflaction as a worse Russian business life by less costumers. This kind of approaches to business life has a risk to start a vicious circle.


Russia will be recovered from all it's suffers at the day there will be no metarial to write such a post.

Molodez.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said that "Friends of Syria group are one-sided and immoral"


http://www.en.rian.ru/russia/20120707/174443798.html

I just would like to thank for such a good comment. SPASIBO i MOLODEZ.

Spasibo to be the only one tells the naked truth to all the world directly and molodez to be so courageous. The way of Putin administration matchs up with mine 100% at this topic as well as many of others. I wonder what is Russian opposition's opinion and reaction against such a immorality of fake friends of poor Syria? Are they at the side of occupier aggressive capitalists? As a Turkish citizen I feel shame for my country to be in this vampire group. I visited Syria two times and stayed there for 6 days each. It was undeveloped but nice country. And mostly it was very pieceful and restfull. I saw huge pictures of Bashar Assad everywhere and people did not say anything bad about him. I realized all Syrian peole liked Turkishs very much. I would like to remind you that Bashar Essed took power not 2 years ago but 10 years ago. If he is a bloody dictator, why he waited 8 years to start to do it? Or if he has been the same for 10 years why Syrians waited for 8 years. I am sorry but I dont believe they needed a young street peddler to burn himself to pluck up their courage.

But there is an important point might be a sign to find out what is going on in fact. When I was in Syria, I realized that there were very few American brends in Syrian market. In 2006 local people told me, among the giant western chains only Centucy fried chicken was permitted by goverment to work in Syria. Do you notice there are some other countries like Iraq and Libya involved American influanced area in last decade after there has been economic crisis in America. Not only democracy came to this countries but also American giant companies. Iraqi and Libyan people are reunited with the products of American brends. Of course meanwhile American brends could have millions of new costumers in new markets. Apparently Syrians and Iranians will have an opportunity to spend their money for American companies soon.

Syria is even much more important geographically. It s the only hostile neighbour of Israel and even more important it s a gate to Mediterranean. In last months there is a serious crisis in Iraq between the goverment and autonomous regional Kurdish administration. Barzani administration has searched for an opportunity to export Kirkuk oil apart from the federal goverment in Baghdat. It has a billions of dollars incoming potential. After American's departure from Iraq, there has been a struggle of power between N. al Maliki and Sunnies including Kurds in northen Iraq. Recently Barzani administration declared they would start to decide on everything about Kirkuk oil alone. "Oil is in our territory and it s not Baghdat's matter" they annonced. And they started to export it in their account. First batch of it has arrived to Turkey. But Kurds and their patron America has a great problem to export the oil. A port to ship it to European markets. Now they have to remove the rock which block their access to Mediterranean. The west has had one more important matter for long time, to be rescued from dependency to Russian oil and natural gas. They have had some projects like Nabucco but all those projects also need a port in Mediterranean shore.


Turkey, Quatar and S.Arabia are against current regime in Syria not only as a Sunni ally but also as the imperialist demanding countries in the region. But the Gulf kingdoms have one more very valid reason. Upcoming Iran war threatens their oil export potential. Last week Iran made a missile drill and demonstrate it's missiles including some naval versions. There was a declaration of Iranian top rank general that all the ships in the gulf including US navy have become sitting ducks for us with these naval missiles. Iran has declared several times before it would block the Strait of Hormuz if it s attacked. And almost all gulf oil export is done through Hormuz. Iraq is in secure for last 10 years now with an American puppet goverment. If Syria is also under control, perhaps it will be possible to make a pipeline to Mediterranean from Basra gulf to secure oil export. Correspondingly Iran's support to Assad is not only for sect but also for their security. Syria is the key milestone to launch an attack to Iran.


And one more point I would lke to take your attention, the timing of Mrs. Clinton to dares threaten Russia in a period Russia is faced with budget deficit and has had to cancel some projects because of very low oil prices. That s why RUSSIA HAS TO DEVELOP IT'S INDUSTRY AND PRODUCTION TO CREATE SOME MORE INCOMING INSTRUMENTS ELSE OIL AND GAS.

Capitalism likes freedom. Let publics of the World be free. Free to spend on imperialist products. Free to take loans from their spoiled finance enterprises. Free to be manipulated in stock markets.

China and especially Russia is writing history nowadays. It will be recognized by history even centuries later as act of heroes challinging wild capitalism.

Inexperienced Mc Donald'sers.




This is Vladimir Mc Donald's. New and the only one. Actually it came into service apporoximately one year ago. But it s still trendy among Vladimir society. A sign and indicator of a western supposed personnal identification. And a statute of so considered to be modern updated and proud life style.

Russians still consider it with an external point of wiev of a local person. I mean a modest western fast food of popular daily culture in the west treated with sophisticated habits and approvals of fundamental local culture may give some unexpected views. Especially ladies come there overdressed with feminen night dresses and accessories. Like princesses waiting at a supermarket cash. Usually they look like they choose best pieces of their wardrope to come to Mc Donald's for dinner as a social event. In spite of it unlikely has a meaning more than to eat something easy and cheap in the west, Mc Donald's is considered as a place to invite your beloved for a romantic and elegant dinner in Vladimir. Despite any foreigner like me might be fascinated their own restaurant and dinner practices they exaggerate western icons. It s a good example of rooted fundemental elegant cultures are being dominated by popular western trends.

And one more interesting point shows Russians are not use to so basic and cheap stlye yet, they still could not learn to make efficient cues in front of cashes. You may see 8 lines in front of 6 cashes.
