I suppose Adolph and his cronies thought much the same.

"Adolph" (actually, Germany and other European powers of first half of XX century) was your European story, no connection to Russia (except, by European habit, trying to conquer part of it). By the way German Nazis were embracing  "Ukrainian Nationalism" (not because they were somehow truly acknowleging existance of "Ukrainians" but just because it was convenient to use Untermench for dirty work of killing other Untermench, mostly Poles)

[Stuart Galbraith]

Kinda the same way you use Chechens for doing Putin's dirty work.

I'm affraid you know little about Chechens - actually it was Western powers who were inflating Chechen nationalism in 1990th (by the way note your Gov is still providing cover for people like Akhmed Zakaev) .

[Stuart Galbraith]

Of course its our fault, how could I possibly think it might have anything to do with several hundred years of Russian Imperialism and 70 years of Soviet mismanagement.

Tell me, are the west to blame for Russian nationalism as well? Or is nationalism only our fault when its someone else, and therefore negative?

Just idly wondering so I get my prompt sheets in order.

Again. interesting to see how you have mixed into one batch Russian Empire and USSR (that was based on ideas directly opposite to it).  Indicates how little you know about processes inside Russia. Anyway, if you think the Chechen problem was created by "Russian Imperialism and Soviet mismanagement"

The laws of economics are inexorable and they apply everywhere. When a national economy with actually huge potential fails so spectacularly, then mismanagement is very obvious.

Now apply this rule to the case of printing USD 1 trillion every 100 days....

   And by the way could you please remind me where i have said USSR economy was brilliant?

Remind me where i where I spoke of 'brilliance'. It was about 'mismanagement'.

I think it was obvious "brilliance" was used as anthonym for "mismanagement".

Let me remind you the sequence:

1) Stuart have stated Chechen separatism was caused by "Russian Imperialism and Soviet mismanagement" 

2) I have pointed out obvious fact he is wrong (after all, the rule of thomb is the more ethnic group was benefiting from USSR central budget in late USSR - the more nationalistic it was, starting from Baltics, then Causasus, and Russians somewhere in the end)

3) You have stepped in with "then mismanagement is very obvious" (as if the collapse of USSR was not enough proof of that)

4) I have asked you to remind me when i was saying USSR was economically ok ("brilliant").

Hope it is clear now.....

Back to access to railway traffic data (might be interesting to Stuart)

"In St. Petersburg, 12 people were detained for selling protected data on the movement of railway trains.

Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, together with colleagues from the FSB, detained 12 residents of St. Petersburg who supplied customers with legally protected computer information about the movement of railway trains in Russia, the income of the criminals during their activities amounted to about 100 million rubles.

A criminal case has been opened under Article 272 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (unlawful access to computer information). Eight defendants were subjected to a measure of procedural coercion in the form of an obligation to appear, four were detained on the basis of Article 91 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation." (source with video https://t.me/boris_rozhin/138037 )

   Note the building with big computers shown in the video is RusRail StPeterburg regional data processing centre. As wer see, there is no need for some "computers from Sunzha station"  - data on rail traffic were leaked by central datacentre staff

To be fair, there is little use for the ship so the crew are 'spare'.  No heir though.

 

Just how is the imperial minty Putin going to protect his legacy?

[Yama]

Seems like substantial sized IED, rather than regular AT-mine (or even two).

[bojan]

Surface laid mines (just barely visible on video), which were a reason driver stepped on breakes, so doubled TM-62 or equivalent at most. Reason explosion looks bigger is that more than one mine exploded, which often happens with surface laid mines (but those additional ones don't really affect vehicle) and also IMO fuel from vehicle contributed to explosion looking bigger than it is. Here is another angle, from a FPV drone chasing that Strf 90, you can actually see explosions of multiple mines and explosion of the vehicle being enchanted by the fuel, as explosion of the other mine on the left dissipates much more quickly.

too good to be true. Let's add the crews of the Kusnetzoff, the Peter the Great, projects 1164, projects 956 and other obsolete ships. all the superfluous ground personnel and admirers that could be used in something more useful for the ground war that exists at the moment. At least three marine brigades could be formed. But bureaucratic inertia and vested interests will be stronger as always.
