    Quality of pictures from my phone is sure not as good as there, but at least it didn't took a lot of time to make them.

    It was a long time ago. Now I find it difficult to find this video. But I'll try to find and give you a link to it.
    But that you do not get bored while I look for the video you are interested in, some other video of the real operations of Russian special forces Against terrorists

    Nice place.

    In a link from your first px in this thread, there was a page-full of kitchens in various countries. One of them alarmed me a bit because it looked like an asbestos sheet was draped over the space where cooking by open flame was done.

    All asbestos has been taken away from US citizens because if fibers from it are breathed in they can cause lung cancer.

    Of course, if one is in the middle of open warfare, as many seem to be these days, such considerations are probably too minor to think about.

    Point being, what he posted - is some shithole. What I posted - literally place where I live. A pretty moderate, humble place.

    Actually, I liked that kitchen--looked very warm and inviting. We gave up a lot when we gave up open fires. On a realistic level, though, I am allergic to smoke. I would not do well in a combat zone.

    Well, on realistic level - place is extremely dirty - furniture and linoleum on the floor clearly indicate that place is constantly wet, with mold growing both on furniture and floor, with enormous amounts of dirt, that only appears in such way when you practically never clean it off, the oven is dirty too, with paint falling off it, and serves as a storage for dishes and glass jars - which indicates it is lakely used for it's natural purpose rarely. Again, on cupboards al space is taken by dishes - mostly metal - that lie there exposen to gathering dust and dirt on them. Electricity plug and light switch above dishes too have signs of mold growing on them, which creates a real fire hazard indicating that wetness gets there too, and that mold, if grows inside, can literally ignite in case of a spark. One more proof oven is not used for it's purpose - on the right you can see a gas stove ignited with a metal pot on it.

    It does not takes a fortune to get a piece of cloth and clean the place properly, it does not takes fortune to obtain a can of paint and repaint the old oven and doors on cupboards to give them protection from mold growing on them, does not even takes fortune to get additional cupboard to store dishes inside, without risking to get an infection from dirt getting on them.
    And it takes negligent people to not do any of these things.

    Well...unless you're in a war zone, of course. Then people just concentrate on staying alive.

    I actually liked another linked photo to that one better, where the fire was lit and there was a stone floor.

    From what I found on internet, these people live in village Pochinok, somewhere between Sanct-Petersburg and Moskva.
    http://surfingbird.ru/surf/eBKj2a7F6#.WMszEPnyjIU
    Stubborn, weird woman who lives in some abandoned village God-knows-where. Ugh.


    Also, amusing how author of the article claims to be repeating travel described in 'Travel from Petersburg to Moscow' by Radishev - yet didn't visited even half of places mentioned. Town of Klin, for example - my family owns a piece of land there. Wanted to build a summer house, but... Never went further than an insruments shack and giant field full of potatoes. Or village Peshki - pretty much stands and flourishes, I was on a shroom hunt there couple of years ago.

    Yes; in times of war a stray field of potatoes somewhere else could have real survival value. I am hoping to acquire a little wood lot somewhere far from my home at some point, with such long range possibilities in mind. Our world leaders do not seem to care how many get killed during the disruptions they cause.

    Once people are corralled into cities they are pretty much at the total mercy of their culture's stability; they have little room to maneuver as they do not have access to land to grow crops. I don't blame the old lady...but she could be staying there in hopes of the return of an absent relative that went off to war in the Ukraine or elsewhere....

    We definitely eventually pay the price for our modern comforts.

    I think you romantising her case too much. Some people just stubborn, and some are secretly sick. I think on that exact forum was story about a german family that migrated in some half-abandoned village somewhere in Zauralie region - for sake of 'true family values and not being exposed to decadent modern society'. A-and apparently they didn't even lasted till the first winter living in some crooked house with a waterwell and outdoor outhouse.

    And again, that land my family got was not for a case of any war, AND even in case of one - definitely travelling on a train, then a bus for 3-4 hours one way and same time back almost every day to keep that field growing is not a thing I'd be doing. A stack of canned meat and dry porrige in entresol is much more reliable. My parents just wanted to have a summer house, but then ran out of enthusiasm after couple years of going there and back. It would've been kinda fine if at least roads there were normal, but... It's complicated to explain - it's an enterprise of company buying a big square of land in an open field and then reselling it piece by peace. So basically road leading there, when we were visiting place, was just a line of mud running through an open field. Not a thing that modern car takes well. So idea was abandoned and... Can't say anybody regrets it much.

    Well, the people in Syria don't seem to have anywhere to run to. At all/

    Yes; land "bargains" often are not. Eventually it could pay off, though. It could become a populated suburb.

    It was; "other than RF, all military presence is illegal in Syria" in your previous post. Now it is; "we're all illegal".
    I admit that I like the improvement though :)

    We have a Turkish saying that goes something like this: "Don't make me open the box, don't make me tell the bad!"

    So be it, as we've already been showing that respect to Russia... Did you know Russian officials were more than welcome to take their own "precautionary measures" in many Turkish cities against some Chechen terrorists on their lists, in spite Turkey was not (and is not today as well) bounded by those SCO requirements??????
    How come such favors can be forgotten that quick?

    We've told Assad in many different ways (once in Algeria secret summit), have openly let our Russian friends know the importance of the security of northern Syria many times, and have told numerous times to the US to take appropriate actions towards terrorists of Syria that were not only massacring Turkmen population and other civilians (for manipulating the demographics just as they did in northern Iraq in 2004), but occupying "illegally" the lands of Syrian people right before these countries' eyes and literally handing over those lands -"without even fighting"- to other proxy terror organizations (YPG/PKK) posing a serious threat to our nation's very existence..!

    They all turned a deaf ear to our warnings due to their own lousy deals in between themselves which we simply don't give a fak to, therefore leaving us no choice to step in to cut that terror corridor by ourselves. We secured the area stretching to Al Bab from Turkish border successfully. Next, we will secure Manbij unless Americans or Assad/Russia coalition act accordingly. Then Kobane and other eastern Euphrates terror bases will see another Turkish shield descending to protect our nation's future no matter how those supposed cantons are being beefed up by the Russian agent Trump. We've already started blocking crucial "partnership" exercises in NATO as "A" response to Americans. Russia needs to remember what happens when it forgot about the vital favors in Aleppo too!

    I'm telling once again, we have no intention to grab any Syrian lands but we won't let no puppet states in our backyard at whatever the cost will it be as well. We show respect to Russia, maybe a little more than what we supposed to... But apparently that didn't do any good for our friends to realize the fact that we actually don't see this as a game, although we've learned so well how it is played !

    Regards...

    Nope... I don't want to see you dead cat... I've told you this years ago, now telling once again; all my childhood friends, including some girlfriends and some of the bests ever, are all Jews... And I'm proud of my friends no matter what Israel does... You need to accept that pre-67, that's all :)

    I didn't know Moscow gets that hot in summers for having air conditioning in the house. Interesting...
    Those wall papers at the joints look funny by the way. I think that's the desk you put your passport on to take the photo of, am I wrong? Do you need the ladder to reach grab the books at the upper shelf? How tall are you dude? :)

    It looks no different than most Turkish apartments anyways. Nice...

    I think I've asked about the links to the forums that you referred where we can read about the Mossad/CIA involvement in Beslan operation. I'd like to see them very much...

    Thank you once again in advance for sharing those...

    Average at summer is 24-32 C, sometimes it gets even hotter. I guess for somebody living in turkish climate that temperature does not creates much problem, but then I pretty much can sleep most of winter with windows open and go in -20 outside without even a scarf. It's case of what temperature body adapts to. Besides..! That thing also heats air up, so it becomes priceless in case of early cold in autumn, when winter heating system have not been launched yet.
    I kno-ow, still din't figured out how to make them look better.
    Exactly. Basically, you can even see te sait passport on top shelf of it.
    Not very tall, though ladder is not for bookshelf, it's for easily getting to entresol. Also I have my umbrellas shoved between ladder and bookshelf.

    Good... Because I was wondering if that thing on top of the shelf could be the "PROOF" of the invitation document for allowing Russia's military intervention to Syria that I'm guessing you still are searching for... :)

    I do not speak English. I'm using an interpreter. So maybe you do not understand me. I meant the statements of the Mossad and SAS representatives about how the Russians liberated the hostages in Beslan. These were comments on the professionalism of the Russian special services. It was not about the fact that the Mossad and SAS took part in the organization of the terrorist act. Also, the Mossad and SAS did not participate in the release of the hostages. I'm only talking about them comments on the professional actions of Russian special services. And They appreciated the work of Russians very highly.

    Wow... That must be one hell of an interpreter. Is it an online one or are you using a software for that... You know what? I think I can use such interpreter too... Would you share that at least?
