I can't even understand what you are saying here.
So you are not even following the situation at all here. of course, because your job is to push the regime propaganda about why Germany is threatening to cancel NS2. Their foriegn minister made it very clear that it is related to Russia's refusal to cooperate in the investigation. Same thing with Ukraine's sanctions, Russia fought for years to conceal that the sanctions were for its war in the Donbas. Same with Olympics, they are banned from it because they refused to share data from athletes samples. On and on, they block investigations and then turn around the reasons for sanctions as some conspiracy instead for the actions they keep doing.

Huh?
No, I follow the events more or less, what I don't understand though, is what kind of "cooperation" and what kind of "blocking" we are talking about here.

So from what I understood, Germans found something ( whatever they found,) which makes them claim that they have the "full proof that it's all Russian government fault."
So the Russian government is telling them "OK then, send us your findings - lab results and so on," to which Germans are basically saying "No we are not going to send you anything, because you will deny our findings/twist them to your own liking. But let's continue with investigation."

And now it's the Russians that are "blocking the investigation."
That's what I've heard so far.

Now please DO tell me what I am missing here.

Russia "fought for years to conceal?"
Why would it make any difference?
If it were not sanctions for Donbass, it would have been sanctions for Crimea, if it were not for Crimea, then it would have been for Osessia.

As I've already mentioned, in order to not to deal with all this nonsense, Russia has to have someone like Stalin at helm, not Putin with his "liberal economy."

Oh I am sure that whatever you call "conspiracy," plays certain part in it all.

I am sure that the West is not squeaky clean in these matters as well - it just assumed the role of the "righteous one," and tries to boss Russians around, getting more and more aggressive in the process.

And the reason it can do that, is precisely the one I mentioned before - that part of the Russian "elite" ( so-called "New Russians,") sold itself to Western interests.
Once you get hooked, it's very difficult to wiggle out of this situation, because every time you make the "wrong step," ( according to the West,) you are immediately threatened with repercussions.

And that's why I already pointed out that Putin is not Stalin.
Someone like Stalin would have never tried to bargain Donbass for Crimea - he would have taken both, and fast.

Which was the only right thing to do under the circumstances, to stomp the Nazi out right away, so that they wouldn't be multiplying like roaches.

Stephen Cohen has died. Age 81. One less sane voice in the world.

Lada Granta and Lada Vesta are the best-selling models. The base price of the former is around 6,200 EUR . I feel sorry for the poor customers .

I wanted to feel sorry for them too, until I went and checked the reviews - both on Lada Granta and Lada Vesta.

(Both over 1,000 reviews)

I expected it to be around 3 the most on average, but it's actually solid 4 for both, with both pluses and minuses that people describe.

Overall they are saying that it's a good family car and a good first car for young people.

So if Russians could come up with something that serves the purpose, affordable, that's Russian-made and keeps their economy going - that's the way to go.

Good for them.

P.S. Sorry - I looked closer; no, looks more like 7 out of 10 on average.

Still not bad.
