Since my brother **cked up all the project with Kazakhstan I had made the message about my own country - Latvia. It is as much as 4 times cooler than Kazakhstan. It has cars in 3 lines, cheap drinks, nice girls and lovely nightclubs. The latest message spread by british embassy that our nightclubs and peep-shows are ripping off British working-clas freaks is complete bullpoo. All the clubs are still cheap and safe, okey, and we have even invented the first online transaction customer service in Riga strip-bars, where you can simply slip your American Express Gold through the stripper’s and pay for the lap-dance. We have also many other cool things. For 3 euros everybody can throw poo at gay people. It ’s a state monopoly business, so you can get your poothrowing voucher right in the airport arrivals zone. More cool stuff to come!!!!

A Lesson of Belarusian is documentary from the former Soviet republic of Belarus. The country is often labelled the last dictatorship in Europe, ruled by president Aleksander Lukashenko’s arbitrary and ruthless iron fist. In many ways, the country has reversed time and now follows the logic from its Soviet legacy and replaced the mentality, economics, structures of society, language, national flag and symbols with that of its Soviet past. Hence it is the state, which has the monopoly on ultimate power, which is being used to steer and control all aspects of the citizens’ life. Since A. Lukahsenko was elected president in 1994, he has used the state to wage a “cold civil war” against all aspects of opposition, in his effort to create a stable country with a conformed and isolated population, who only follows the orders from the president - whose legitimacy cannot be questioned. This harassment has prevented the emergence of an effective civic society and a political opposition, which could counterweight the president’s power monopoly.

In this atmosphere the documentary follows a young activists who never gives up believing that Belarus one day will be free and democratic. Franek Viacorka studies at an elite school (lyceum) established by his father to promote the Belarusian language and culture. However, the school has been banned and operating underground since 2003, a victim of the anti-democratic rule of President Lukashenko. Franek and his classmates are both passionate and thoughtful, expressing their critical attitude to the government by issuing an underground newspaper, recording music with activist lyrics and organizing an opposition concert.

Despite the imprisonment of Franek’s father and the constant threat of their own arrest, they are undeterred. In the March 2006 presidential re-election, they support the democratic opposition candidate in a mass demonstration in Minsk’s main square. While the candidate is powerless to combat Lukashenko’s corruption and use of riot police, Franek and his classmates realize that fearlessness is a victory in itself. The documentary is an eye-opener to the hearts and minds of free activists, who fight for an idea larger than themselves.

Hasbro said it:
Have your say in the world’s first global Monopoly!
A good PR campaign has generated a spontaneous reaction from a wide cross-section of different people and media coverage.

68 “great cities” have been pre-selected for voters to choose from. They include obvious picks like Paris and London alongside more obscure choices like Riga and Belgrade. Of those, the top 20 will make it as properties on the board, other cities can be submitted in write-in votes for a wild-card slot, where two cities will face off for the “low-rent” positions.

How foolish, you puny westerners. For you right to vote is precious, this is not so for us. We are notorious for multi-day voting as a way of stealing elections, voting without ID cards, voting multiple times, even under other peoples names. Our ways may only seem barbaric to you, but they work well for us.
Two small countries and their capital cities with ISPs capacity of a single rural switchboard are leading elections!

Next time when you bring your deeply held values and beliefs to the internet, make sure to use anti-spam voting system that alows only one vote per 24 hour from the same IP address.

Bow down before our mighty weapons of idiocracy until then.
