Цекало и Puttin` отожгли на Воробьевых горах [VIDEO] Dancing In Moscow
This video, uploaded to YouTube on February 26, 2012, is of a Russian ‘flash mob’ putting together a massive dance number on a Moscow street.
The song is Irving Berlin’s “Puttin’ On The Ritz”, written in 1929 and intended to satirize the less well-off dressing-up ‘to the nines’.
So … You’ve got a Russian Flash mob dancing to a song written by a Russian-American Jewish Composer, originally observing the working class trying to emulate the rich.
As with so many things, the media (Russian media, in this case) are debating whether the performance had a deeper sociopolitical meaning: “Puttin'”? Putin? Good Putin policy? Bad Putin policy?
Or is a dance sometimes just a dance?
Watch it here.
PS: If someone could give me a good English translation of the original Russian title, I’d be much obliged.

Flashbulb Memory: A Human-to-Human Moment in Tiananmen Square in Beijing
By Michael R. Honig
“The way to make God laugh is to tell him your plans.” That thought crosses my mind often.
My background is Jewish East Central European. If I was going to visit any continent first, then, you’d think it would be the lands of my ancestors. So if 10 years ago, someone had told me that during my life, I’d visit China before I traveled to Europe, I’d have thought they were nuts.
Or not.
I met my wife on Valentine’s Day 2002, and we married on December 28, 2003. My wife is a Canadian citizen, but she was actually born in Fu Jing City, in Hei Long Jiang Province in the northeastern part of the Peoples Republic of China.
I’ll bet that about now you can see what’s coming … Continue reading

International Space Station Animated Assembly Graphic
“…Thank God, neither the agents in question or any other Russian intelligence officers are known to have been involved in creating secret prisons, kidnappings, or torture.” – Vladimir Putin
Vladimir Putin can make this statement thanks exclusively to the Bush/Cheney Admininstration.
[A]sked about the 10 Russian “sleeper agents” caught in the US in June and later deported to Moscow. Putin claimed that they had not harmed US interests, adding: “The methods employed by our special services differ in a good way from those used by US special services. Thank God, neither the agents in question or any other Russian intelligence officers are known to have been involved in creating secret prisons, kidnappings, or torture.”
– http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/02/us-embassy-cables-itvinenko-putin
So the question again remains: When will this nation have the courage to clear its good name and indict our homegrown war criminals?
