Good luck.

They will start getting more serious when I'm invited to speak at such gatherings.

Bet!

I dont really see the point of this as it wont change perception of how Washington or the West view Russia. They have a fixed perception that will never change and it isn't a good one.

Perhaps they should discuss how communism was installed in Russia through a foreign invasion before assessing the Russia psyche.

Its a well known fact that western Russian disporia hate Russia you only have to read webblogs of Russians who are US citizens. Counting on them to improve Russia/US relations would be a hugh trojan horse.

Did McCain show up?

He likely didn't since there was no apparent answer from him.

If so, the WRF wasted a slot to score a propaganda point, while not giving time to a different and more plausible perspective than McCain's.

Last posted submission should've read: will McCain show up?

Russian-American views are diverse. Russian-Americans having a fondness for Russia have been muted over the decades. Not having them properly represented is a continued fault line.

How much in depth focus has there been on matter like the bigoted anti-Russian Captive Nations Committee, which succeeded in getting the Captive Nations Week passed?

When Russians make statements deemed as offensive to a given ethnic group, there's a good deal of highlighting. On the other hand, not much is comparatively said in opposition to when the reverse is true. Like remarks made in 1983 by the wife of the current Ukrainian president. There're a number of other examples as well. The individuals who are well acquainted with them should be represented at panels discussing the Russian-American community.

The "it's not what you know, but who you know saying" often applies to who does and doesn't get invited to speak at such gatherings.

Assuming Margarita Simonyan is there (as slated), it can perhaps suggested to her that RTTV would benefit from having some other analysts on her station.

James:

At least allow it to put its best possible step forward.

I agree that it's a waste if that goal isn't realized, with the not so Russia friendly crowd either ignoring such an event or taking pot shots at it.

With all due respect, I think that your characterization of the Russian-American community isn't accurate. The White Russian community in America tends to be fond of Russia. The 1970s and after refusenik era emigres from the USSR are mixed. I know because of my frequent contacts with them.

Will anyone bring up the realities of Kosovo and what the KLA has and is doing there. Kosovo is the crime centre of Europe run by terrorist who dominate every aspect of government there. Mabye the US should reflect on that before it lectures Russia on human rights and government power.

Michael,
"It's not what you know, but who you know" - instead of just complaining, why didn't you just show up and introduce yourself to Mrs. Simonyan?

"Mrs."

She was supposedly going to meet me awhile back. For whatever reason, this didn't materialize. Meantime, I make myself readily available as several relatively well placed folks know.

I saw part of this recent event on CSPAN. Its structure gave me the impression that it would be difficult for someone in the audience to have an extended conversation with her.

The onus isn't on me when it comes to what's wrong about the former Communist bloc coverage.

At that televised CSPAN event, she seemed very chummy with Andrew Kuchins. Among others, I don't think that Kuchins has been the best available alternative for more accurately understanding Russia. I sense that some people with Margarita Simonyan's authority are possibly misled at times.

I've the staisfaction of knowing that one of her former key level employeees met me and concluded that I'm a viable real deal option to consider.

Regretfully, there appears to be some form of intimidation in acknowledging this in the open.

James:

At a recent media gathering in Kazakhstan which was attended by Margarita and Yuri, Kosovo Albanian nationalist media and Western NGO funded Serb media outlet B92 were represented. There was no media representation from the disputed former Soviet territories. Likewise with a Serb view running opposite the B92 slant.

Hello!

We with the the missis for a yearn conditions lengthy to out to Moscow. 6 years we scrape wampum on an apartment + relatives intent arrogate + the trust, thorough to us should suffice. Here recently has scan via in the program " to Muscovites - attainable habitation " on which apartments barely to Muscovites violence to furnish builders. Jacobs buy up a lot of actual assets nonresident barely for resale. entirely it is inconceivable to modify restrictions for restockers(I reckon at require the best part precise handily to figure out by sum of transactions)? in actuality it is obligatory to contrive problems to plain citizens who buy æèëü¸ for itself? :(
As covered by this program, requiring muscovites (those who has lived in simoleons on the proper bases not less than 10 years), can get the actual demesne for a reduced price. I mark it not completely, in items incomes of Muscovites it is more, than at inhabitants of other regions. ;)
And what you disposition give someone a tongue-lashing in this occasion?
It is entirely grave to me to be versed your opinion. Also I shall be thankful, if motivate programs where there are privileges for nonresident. :)

We witnessed a very crazy day for the stock market yesterday. The DOW plunged 800 points only to come roaring back to close down 370 points. It was breathtaking for many of us because we were glued to our TV (and computer screen) as the stock market kept on going down but for some of us, it didn’t really matter because our focus was on other things.
Yesterday, I was extremely busy at work. I was so busy that I didn’t have time to check on Yahoo Finance nor did I have time to talk to my coworkers about the stock market. When I finally sat down and looked at how the market was doing, I saw the headline (DOW plunged 800 points and closed at 370) on the homepage. My net worth probably plunged just like any other 350 point down days, but it didn’t matter as much to me.
I wasn’t emotionally upset this time because I wasn’t “living” the roller coaster. As a result, it hurt my wallet but didn’t hurt my feelings. I felt much better and saved myself from much of the emotions of a down day just by focusing on other parts of my life. I wasn’t thinking about the stock market nor was I worrying about the Cisco (CSCO) shares that I owned.
I was living my life and not being controlled by the stocks I own. I felt good. In this type of market, maybe you should try it too.
How did you spend your day yesterday? Did you even know that the stock market plunged? Can you sleep at night these days? If you aren’t worried at all, reply and show some encouragement to those that couldn’t!

What do you think will happen to America in the nearest future? It seems to me that General Election in the USA looks starts to look like comedy show. :D Yesterday I found the following post in periodics:

"The Naked Cowboy endorses McCain--ooookay :)

The Naked Cowboy was just on tv saying he plans to endorse
McCain. :D LOL I'm sure McCain's camp will relay that to him
and I am sure it will mean all the difference to the
outcome of the election. NOT!

How exactly does Bush show his face now that his entire
party has disowned him? :("
