Yes, Yes, and then it turns out that most of these aggressive workers were first dissatisfied Belarusians,then dissatisfied Khabarovsk residents,and now they are dissatisfied workers here, although they did not work at this enterprise for a day.Aha, workers who are ready to shed blood for their superiors. Let's see, this video should carry straight around the world and fast.

They remind me of the longshoremen of the west coast here. Belligerent at the slightest provocation. The most powerful union in America.

The new president called them bullies. He's right. On the other hand they are also.

On mercenaries. For educational purposes because they are playing a role in this conflict between Armenia and Azerbijan.

Scrat...
As usual I don't understand what Turist is trying to say here, but truth to be told - he didn't call them "bullies."

The word he used was far more insulting for them.
There is no direct translation of it in English I believe, but the closest I can think of is "cattle" - dumb, set in their own primitive ways.
And so the reaction followed.

Ironically enough, the guy who makes these "Caspian reports" is Azeri, heh.

Some of his reports are very, very good - thoroughly researched and nicely put together.

P.S. ..So, speaking of Shirwan dear and his "Caspian reports" - now I am watching this - "The origins of Nagorny Karabakh conflict" made 4 years ago.

...And since the report is made by an Azeri, at the end I find it to be biased after all.

That's an attitude I've been seeing in the local media around here. From our elite. It's really subtle, off in the background and it's hard to catch in the moment but if you listen to some individual over a period of time then you see a pattern emerge.

I've caught hints of this attitude of contempt from our leaders for a long time and the latest failures really stand out. This current conflict in the Caucasus for example. Lives seem pretty cheap to the politicians involved it seems to me.

These aren't old phones. These are very , very interesting, very secure phones for government special communications. Although Yes, there are not many show-offs and especially fashionable rounded corners, too :-)

Too bad you don't understand. I write about the fact that no ordinary worker will go into a fight for the boss of the Corporation. Then, as always,it turns out that these boys without faces in hoods, go all over the country arranging fights for money and making a picture for the media.
