Just keep in mind, the alphabet is the easy part! (Slavic, and especially Russian, grammar is a total nightmare.)
Ah yes, where Sping comes around August the 5th, Summer is August the 7th and 8th, Fall is August the 9th, then 51 weeks of Winter.
Do you have a government issue declaration of this free land? I might have a penguin farm up there. On a serious note: is it habitable? how about electricity?
Well there are some people in that region already and some towns. I'd have to get a map of the actual area to try and see just how barren it is. One theory as to why they are making the offer is to try and boost the population since China sits right under it with millions and millions of people. Putin and his friends seem to think they are a bit vulnerable should China decide they want some frozen tundra.
Springtime... For Putin... and Motherland... Winter... For Ukraine... and Rights P.S. I'm in! What an awesome PIF!
Yes, unfortunately Mr. Putin has a bit more of Brezhnev in him than most would like. Though Brezhnev advocated intervening in other communist countries to strengthen communism. Putin uses the same kind of thinking to try and begin putting the pieces of the USSR back together. We were hoping when he first rose to power he'd be more of a Gorbachev. Nice day for a parade it looks like in your pic! Sun and no snow....must be that period in Russia between August 1st and 4th.
