Artificial Tears How Often

Solonin shares plans

"... the idea to establish the International, it is desirable - a bilingual (Russian and English) scientific and historical journal. Main content: documents that are not yet available in the still semi-closed Russian archives, documents are stored in already fully open the archives of the former "socialist camp", the memoirs of contemporaries of the USSR ("living history"), research papers of independent historians of all countries and continents. "

Solonin now decide how he can earn more on the magazine: if he will be cheap or expensive electronic paper?

By the way, does anyone know: the thesis of "openness" of archives in the Soviet bloc countries - it is pure imagination or is there really something is available? Maybe less bureaucracy, more convenient or directories staff welcoming?

Suvorov right!
November 5th, 22:48
In Boulevard Gordon read entertaining line. quote reply Igor Smeshko :

- In my time I, like many, had read of nightmares and the horrors of the working methods of the Soviet grushnikov in books Suvorov-Rezun - Among other things, our Cherkassy lad who, after Suvorov graduated from the Kiev Higher Military Command School, and now lives in Britain. You are familiar with his "ice breaker", "Aquarium", the other works?

- Of course, I had the opportunity to read them. Mr Rezun, in my opinion, is endowed with undoubted literary talent, he pronounced analytical skills, but I would have regarded his writings carefully. The fact is that by moderate positions that this man served in the Foreign Intelligence Service of the former Soviet Union, as well as short stay in it he objective could not acquire experience in strategic level, had no access to a strategy of foreign intelligence and policy of the USSR, the knowledge of which he claims. So I would consider his books as possible, rather interestingly written, but outlining the subjective viewpoint Rezun. Of course, they may in no case be a substitute for a serious memoirs and historical literature.

not stand it and decided to find out views on the data lines from another representative of the "invisible front". Went to the village of X, where long ago there lived a man that worked in this system, almost all my life. Knew about it and knows everything village, but the little man never confessed.
