з новим роком Алекс

Russian FSB is not so much of a problem here.
Russian submarines however...
Here is another picture proof revealed today of the submarine observation that triggered the hunt in the inlet to Stockholm on 31 October. The alarm came from a retired naval officer.

"Insolence and provocation," said Defence Minister Peter Hultqvist

Hi Alex, glad you posted.
Just information, for those who don't understand:
FSB = KGB

Putin in KGB uniform when he worked there:)

Putin in KGB uniform when he worked there:)

LOL. It's a standard Soviet Army officer uniform. It wasn't any special KGB uniform in the USSR, a difference was only a color on the shoulder boards and on the collar edges.

Why do you don't understand a very simple things? It was not any special KGB uniform in the USSR, it was the Soviet Army uniform and a difference for KGB was only a color on the shoulder boards and on the collar edges. Blue, as it is on the photo that you post.

The photo depicts USSR Soviet Military Uniform Collar Tabs for KGB personal.
Uniforms include collar tabs .
Or are the photo of Putin when he's going to a dress party?

Oh... Do you see a difference with my words? It is all as I wrote. Putin with the Soviet Army uniform on the photo. Do you can see a colors on the black-and-white photo? :) If you think it is blue (also the red, black, also the lite blue for aviation and green for the border guards) - it's not an exception for the standard Soviet Army officer "full dress" uniform. Some military officers with same blue collar tabs was in the all big military structures of Soviet Army. I saw some of them who served in the special branch of my brigade when I was in the army. "Osobyi otdel", "osobisty", the military counterintelligence. I write again, specially for you, they also had the blue collar tabs and it was their military uniform.
It's very laughable for me when some foreigners try to teach me about the USSR. :)

What's the matter with you?
Putin has not served the Soviet army. Only KGB.
Since the photo is clearly from an ID card I presume that KGB had uniforms.

What's the matter with you? I never said Putin has served in the Soviet army. I said many times - the KGB uniform has no difference with the Soviet Army officer uniform, especially on the BW photo. Once again in other words - the KGB uniform was the Soviet Army uniform.

OK. I Think we are lost in translation:)
Let us say that the Picture depicts Putin in a Soviet army uniform.

New York Observer - "The New Ukraine Is Run by Rogues, Sexpots, Warlords, Lunatics and Oligarchs"

http://observer.com/2015/01/the-new-ukraine-is-run-by-rogues-sexpots-warlords-lunatics-and-oligarchs/

Efraim Zuroff (the chief Nazi-hunter of the Simon Wiesenthal Center) - "Putin should be invited to Auschwitz".
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ever since the admission of the Baltics and many other East European countries to the EU and NATO, we have witnessed a systematic campaign being waged to undermine the uniqueness of the Holocaust and promote the canard of equivalency between Nazi and Communist crimes. The motivation for this campaign is obvious, since in most Eastern European countries collaboration with the Nazis meant active participation in mass murder, and if given a choice between being branded as countries of perpetrators or of victims, it is clear what the new democracies prefer. So instead of honestly confronting their bloody Holocaust past, they opt to emphasize their own suffering under the Soviets and Communists and proceed to glorify freedom fighters against Communism, even if they mass murdered Jews during the Holocaust.

Perhaps, but...

Far superior to Putin, and his Thug Buddy's.

Igor...

Just a question...

What is Your problem with "SEXPOTS"?

I personally LOVE them.

:):):)

+1 :)
What would the World look like without them?

A long interview with the young Donbass militiaman of Kazakh-Russian-German origin - http://www.odnako.org/blogs/rasskaz-opolchenca-mi-s-ukrainoy-na-raznih-polyusah/

In Russian language, sorry. Russian with many slang words. I can't make fully adequate translation because of my poor English. But I hope the interested persons will find opportunity to make the translation. Two short fragment:
----------------------------------------
- Do you feel yourself in general as whom - the Ukrainian, the German, the Kazakh?
- I consider myself as the Russian.
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
Now there are guys, especially among the Russian volunteers, who, having been disappointed in such war, leave. But for the same guys from Russia and other countries - they have where to come back. For us, though be disappointed or no, but it is our home. And we won't leave.
----------------------------------------

Therefore...

Those portions, no matter how small, of persons who don't consider themselves Russian, within Russia, can secede from Russia?

Correct?

If not. Why not?

Who don't consider themselves Russian, Spanish, Serbian, British, Turkish... This problem was and is present all over the world. But the universal answer is absent. There is no simple right unambiguous answers for the many difficult questions.

I have glanced trough these "crimea" threads, and my only conclusion is that the mods (or admin) are in a deep coma, because this series of trash threads has gotten way, way out of hand.

Fair advice: for this kind of "talk", register at LiveLeak.com or some place like that and take it there. This is a SETI forum for crying out loud!

I'm reporting this.

Why isn't it the same for them?

All in the world have right for self-determination if they wish and have really enough force for that. It's a "realpolitik".

No. You have to follow international laws.
A Swedish equivalent of the Crimea crisis is the Ã…land crisis.
There opposed the League of Nations Ã…landers people will to be reunited with Sweden and Ã…land became an autonomous region of Finland.

No. You have to follow international laws.

No. There are no unambiguous rules and laws. Everybody can carry out a self-determinate if they have enough volition and enough force (their own as well as external support) in a fortunate time.
