    I just love this article.

    If only for the not-so-politically-correct part. I seriously think that it is political correctness that caused the end of the Pax Americana.

    - Почему Путин и Патриарх при встрече всегда целуются?
    - Потому что одной школы выходцы.

    В обычных странах церковь отделена от государства, а в России - от Бога.

    I don't see anything politically incorrect in that article, it's just stupid.
    But I wonder what is this "Pax Americana", and when did it exactly end (or begin, for that matter).

    It derives from Pax Romana (Peace between nations within the Roman empire). Roman Peace. The author compares USA with the Roman Empire and alludes the fact they share the same fate.

    Oh I know where it derives from. But, I asked about something different, didn't I?

    To answer your question - Pax Americana is the whole globe. (There ARE men who thinks more or less so). Fortunately, that's not true. Yet.

    Perhaps here we agree for once, on principle at least. But apparently Amaranta is of a different opinion, believing that it has been in place and somehow ended due to "political correctness".

    I'd agree with Amaranta in one thing. Political correctness and hypocricy for me is the same thing. Why should I twist my tongue and invent some "politically correct" words while there are already words that describe the thing? My attitude towards that thing would not change if I use politically correct word anyway so why bother?
    There's more - by substituting the real words with the politically correct ones people add to hypocricy level in society. And that can be done harmlessly only to a certain level. I don't want to live in a world of hypocrites.

    Change the attitude, not words.

    It seems that he has washed a lot of Oligarks/Capitalism there, but i really don't know if that is good for Russians or not after Chudorkovskij-tragedy.

    Ходорковский you mean? Why tragedy? A thief has gone to jail. That's not a tragedy at all. (To him, perhaps, and some pro-western hypocrites).

    It's not a tragedy. It's a justice.
    Please, correct my mistakes, except for the cases I misspell something on purpose!

    All the other "New Russians", who are too far from innocence, are either in UK or in Israel.

    Я не знаю французских законов, но мне кажется, что если в его действиях был состав преступления, его следовало наказать на общих основаниях.
    УК РФ не предусматривает наказания за пользование услугами проституток.

    Вообще-то, неплохо прежде всего доказать, что там вообще были какие-то проститутки, и Прохоров имел к ним какое-то отношение. А то ведь французское "правосудие" здесь облажалось немного.

    Я конечно могу ошибаться, последний раз во Франции был 4 года назад, но тогда проституция там была вроде как легализована...

    Сутенёрство там наказуемо. Петю Листермана надо бы в кутузку.
