No I don't. Can you give me an idea why its so bad that Stanford accepted Navalny's daughter? I'm assuming the Kremlin has an interesting spin on this so I'm curious to hear it.
That's it the lie, the hypocrisy and double standards of all these “fighters against the regime”.
Blogger catches Navalny’s daughter in illegal admission to Stanford University
The terrorists were sponsored by western interests, one individual Boris Berezhovsky was safely sheltered in London when it happened. Him and a few others were enablers of this atrocity.
There's a lot of lies going around concerning this incident. The Russians used tanks for instance. There were not tanks at the school, BTRs the 8 wheeled armored personnel carriers were used. Maybe a lot of stupid pundits and media hacks don't know the difference.
The Russians did not assault the school either. After over 50 hours inside the school the hostages were hungry, terrified, dehydrated and fully aware that most likely the terrorists intended to kill them in the end. They were becoming hard to control. One of the terrorists made a mistake and a bomb went off killing dozens. The hostages panicked and bolted. Outside there were Russian special forces and local militia. Many of whom had loved ones inside. When the bombs inside started going off and the hostages bolted the MILITIAMEN assaulted the building along with the Spetznaz right behind them. At that point there was nothing to lose.
If the Russian government is guilty of anything it is the failure to secure the site. The militiamen were not that disciplined and it's kind of understandable. Many had children and family inside. I don't think the Russians could have disarmed the militiamen and sent them home peacefully.
Anyway godspeed to those who died.
It's good to know Boris B died broke and alone along with a few more terrorists since.
That's your proof that its bad she got into Stanford? More links to obviously fake propaganda? Stanford can give scholarships to whoever they want. This doesn't help your cause, it exposes it for the sham that it is.
This is anther example of how sad the state of affairs are in Russia... there are no words really.

Corruption in an education system is not a good thing. You end up with stupid people in high places.

This is a confirmation that Navalny is just a liar like everyone else. And he is absolutely such than those whom he allegedly “exposed†in his investigations.
Well since you state that Ukraine and Belarus is part of Ancient Rus, then the Crimea is part of the Tatar people, and they are the original inhabitants of that region and the Russians are immigrants or descendants of immigrants. The people living in Crimea today are living in Crimea Tatar lands.
Are they REALLY?
That I don't know.
What I DO know however is that the Crimean Tatars were part of the Golden Horde ( originally from Asia) that devastated Russia for centuries, and when the main parts of it were already dissipated/conquered by Russians, Crimean Tatars were the last fragment of the Golden Horde to raid Russian lands and to take people in slavery to their overlord - Osman Turkey, the Islamic nation, ( whose religion Crimean Tatars accepted too.)
That's the "original inhabitants" for you, until Russians had enough of strengths to take care of a problem.

Sochi which hosted the Winter Olympics is the homeland of Circassians people homeland as they were the original people of that city. The Russians that live there are immigrants or the descendant of immigrants. They are living in Circassian land.
Ahh... circassians..
But of course.
When it comes to the history of Northern Caucasus and the conquest of it by Russians, that's the ONLY TIME IN HISTORY, when Russians were involved in genocide for real. So Russians were not just "immigrants" there.
The reason?
Oh my, what that would be, but not Islam again and potential union between these people and Osman Turkey/Persia - i.e. other Islamic forces in the area.
"Circassians, Christianised through Byzantine influence between the 5th and 6th centuries were largely Christian and were often allied with largely Christian Georgia.[19] Both Georgians and Circassians viewed themselves as a Christian island within a wider Muslim area, and both[20] asked for Russian protection.[19] Although there had previously been a small Muslim presence in Circassia, significant conversions came after 1717, when Sultan Murad IV ordered the Crimean Khans to spread Islam among the Circassians, with the Ottomans and Crimeans seeing some success in converting members of the aristocracy who would then ultimately spread the religion to their dependents.[21"
"In 1857, Dmitry Milyutin first published the idea of mass expulsions of Circassian natives.[17] Miliutin argued that the goal was not to simply move them so that their land could be settled by productive farmers, but rather that "eliminating the Circassians was to be an end in itself—to cleanse the land of hostile elements".[17][18]"
"The tribes were to be given the choice of emigrating to the Ottoman Empire or of settling north in the Kuban. In practice most were simply driven to the coast."
You don't want to convert to Christianity, but bent on hell to serve your Islamic overlords in Turkey?
Goodbye then.
I feel sorry that not ALL of Northern Caucasians were shipped to these lands;
"After the end of the War the Ottoman Empire offered to harbour the Circassians who did not wish to accept the rule of a Christian monarch, and many emigrated to Anatolia, the heart of the Ottoman territory[5][6] and ended up in modern Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Iraq and Kosovo. Different smaller numbers ended up in neighbouring Persia."
Then nothing like Beslan tragedy would have taken place in Caucasus nowadays.
P.S. By the way, Tataro-Mongols( which Golden Horde was part of,) were quite tolerant people when it came to religious matters. As much as they made Russians suffer in the early days, they didn't prosecute them for their religious beliefs (i.e. Christianity.)
Russians paid likewise; when THEY conquered Tatars, ( already converted to Islam,) they've let them keep their religion also.

Well, Flanders in Belgium speakers speak the same language as the people of the Netherlands and share a similar culture. Yet they function very well even though the people of Flanders and the Netherlands are separated by a border.
Amazing how they do not jump on each other's throat in Belgium for the LANGUAGE LAW then, allowing both of them coexist in the same country, innit? ( Unlike in "free and democratic" Ukraine.)
(Yeah, that's the *language law discussion* in Ukrainian parliament, right there.... )
