“Damascus is the “Stalingrad” of Russian diplomacy. After years of geopolitical withdrawal, Moscow has chosen Syria as a way to revive its image of power in the world. “Not one step back” is the Kremlin’s new strategy, as it was for the Red Army along the banks of the Volga river during World War II.

Оппозиционный писатель Эдуард Лимонов с трибуны провластной газеты предрекает закат старой доброй европейской демократии и возрождение в ближайшее время на Старом континенте националистических режимов.
Минуточку, господа российские эксперты по европейскому мультикультурализму! А как обстоят дела у вас? Имеет ли Россия какой-нибудь проект сосуществования разных культур, который работает и который можно противопоставить мультикультурализму «зажравшегося» Запада?

Poland, The Foucault Pendulum in Copernicus’s birth town.

A 33-metre Foucault Pendulum, which demonstrates how the earth revolves, has been installed in Torun, birthplace of astronomer Copernicus, the discoverer of the heliocentric universe. FoucaultWikipedia
The gleaming pendulum is the first major exhibit to be installed at the emerging Mill of Knowledge Modernity Centre.
The exhibit follows French physicist Leon Foucault, whose famed pendulum was a landmark device in demonstrating how the earth revolved. Foucault performed the first public demonstration in Paris in February 1851.
Several centuries earlier, Torun-born astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus who discovered, much to the Church’s discomfort, that the Earth revolves around the sun and not the other way round, as had previously been thought.
Copernicus (known as Mikolaj Kopernik in Poland), who studied at Krakow’s Jagiellonian University, published his pioneering book On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres in 1543, describing how the earth revolved around the sun.
