Privet - Over eight years ago I met the most wonderful Russian woman in the world! What started as friends on the Internet per e-mails and text messages, became a dream come true for this American. I moved to Russia seven years ago and have never, one time in all those years, regretted that move to Russia. In fact, I have realized over the years that Russia is safe, incredibly fantastic and a wonderfully explicit country to live and travel in. I have been lucky in many ways and meeting a normal Russian woman whose main goal is not to leave Russia, that was a blessing in disguise, as I was the one who had to make the hard decision to leave my country. It was a decision that I have never ever regretted and it also opened my eyes to a whole new world of ideas and thinking's. So welcome to Windows to Russia and stay a spell, sip a cup of coffee.

Arab Spring: Out with old, in with the…old?

The success of the Egyptian revolution inspired a wave of uprisings across the region, but as Egyptians once again take to the streets to demand change, some experts are skeptical about the results of the Arab Spring.

Author and political commentator Mark Glenn told RT that many Egyptians do not believe that any significant changes will take effect as a result of the upcoming parliamentary elections.

“In general the system is going to remain the same. American foreign policy is going to remain the same. Israel’s foreign policy is going to remain the same,” he explained.

The journalist backs up his assertion by pointing to the fact that the first thing the new Egyptian government did after Mubarak’s removal was to ask the West for economic aid. “As soon as it did that it automatically surrendered itself and its ideals to Western interests.”

Glenn says that not only in Egypt, but in the entire region affected by the Arab Spring, people do not know what they want. “All they know is that they are unhappy with the status quo. But as far as actually being able to sit down and to formulate a plan as to how to bring these changes about, they are somewhat tied up in that regard.”

Glenn doubts that the Arab Spring will bring anything substantively different for the people in the region. “It is just going to be cosmetic,” he said.

“And sadly the loser in all this are going to be the people themselves who have literally paid for this revolution with their own blood,” Glenn concluded.


THE COMMENT FINE PRINT - IN DEFENSE AGAINST MENTAL MIDGETS:

Why do you not respond to my comment? Why is my comment gone? Why are you mean? Why do I hate you for erasing my comment? Why do you hate me for my comment? Why is cussing not allowed (Sometimes you do it - sorta!), when it helps me express my feelings? Why are you a #$&%@#? Why is it wrong to wish you dead? Why do you love Russia? Why are you stupid? Why are you unpatriotic? Why is, why is, why is and why is? My GOD man, Why are you worse than a communist?

The above manifestations of a horde of mental midgets is why I only respond to comments that have signed up to be a user of the blog! (Top right of website is link!) Anyone can comment and anyone can be erased after they comment, but only someone who takes the time to sign up gets a second look from me at the comment. Sorry: I have to draw the line somewhere and when you get thousands of spam, hate and death threat comments a day, then all you do is look at spam, hate and death threats, then I never get anything else done. If you comment after signing in, then I will get a message that someone has tried to post a real comment?

Thanks for understanding and even if you don't understand, thanks anyway...

Another day in the life of Windows to Russia...
