There’s a hole in the world. It is man-made (a diamond mine in Eastern Siberia, Russia) and it is horrifyingly gorgeous.

If you needed proof that the Georgian war was a PR set-up, it came soon enough. Within days, Donald Tusk hurriedly signed up for US missiles while John McCain topped the media ratings.

The majority of ordinary Poles aren’t so enthusiastic. ‘It puts our head between the hammer and the anvil’, as my friend Marek said. But of course, America is the master at starting wars in faraway places. Far from America, that is.

Though now it might need no help in starting a war in Europe. There are plenty of other hotheads around. The deal puts Poland’s finger firmly on the trigger. To quote Donald Tusk:

‘Poland and the Poles do not want to be in alliances in which assistance comes at some point later - it is no good when assistance comes to dead people. Poland wants to be in alliances where assistance comes in the very first hours of - knock on wood - any possible conflict.’

Any pretence that the ‘possible conflict’ will come from unspecified ‘rogue states’ has been dropped. As a condition of the deal, Poland insisted on a war chest of short range hardware, along with a beefed-up airforce and Patriot missile batteries.

The quote from Donald Tusk is rather telling. All Georgia got from the US was a couple of planeloads of Aunt Jemima’s pancake mix - after it had surrendered. Poland wants to push that big button now.

The topic goes about the growth of the prostitution at antique times and escort in Kiev. Scientists say that a few thousand years B. C. there was a worship of a Great Goddess. The Goddess was a creature with hundred names. For example, Greeks called her Aphrodite and Babylonian people called her Ishtar. The cult of this Goddess implied the usage of some sexual rituals. The church of the Goddess was also the location where each girl had to go through the procedure of defloration before the marriage. And of course, the girls, who had their first sexual experience anywhere outside the walls of the church, were inferior ones.

There were the priestesses that served the Goddess within each church and they actually were the first ?Religious whores?. People supposed that the girls included to these teams are the inalienable parts of erotic Goddess. At that times their occupation was rather prestigious one. The families tried to make their daughters the priestesses of the Goddess.

Commonly, all the erotic rituals had some religious functions. For example, there were organized orgies before the troops were going to warfare. (more…)

If you are a Western man searching for a Russian bride, your search might begin and end with finding a reliable Russian brides agency. There are a few things to look out for when deciding on choosing the agencies that are right for you: here are some tips to help you along.

Russian Brides Agency: General or Specific?

• A marriage agency that deals specifically with Russian brides would be more useful, because their energies are more concentrated on Russia, and they possibly have more local contacts.

• A specifically Russian agency based in Russia or Ukraine may seem like a good idea, because of the supposed authenticity. But these are limited by their lack of ability to communicate to the West: they won’t be useful if you don’t speak Russian. They must have a branch in the West, and an English-speaking point of contact.

Which is Better: a Small Russian Brides Agency or a Big One?

• Smaller Russian brides agencies with free service may be scam, because they might just be making their money selling fake addresses of women on their sites.

• But if you can find one which is small but genuine, you can access fresh women who may not have been approached before. The website may have interviewed all applicants in person, because they’re from its base town, but the database is smaller. You’ve to be patient with these women because their grasp of English is poor.

• A bigger site, on the other hand, has authenticity on its side. But due to its larger scope of operations, there may be a lot of competition for the same women, and profiles may not be updated regularly. There will be a large database however, and women on these sites will have better English.

How to Avoid a Scam Russian Brides Agency
A genuine website will have the following :

• A proper contact of the agency owner, including a telephone number: You should be able to talk to a responsible person at the other end.

• An ability to accept credit cards: This is the mark of a genuine site, because credit card payments come with added answerability.

• Regularly updated unique and personalized bride profiles, not serialized or automated.

• An arrangement for direct contact with the bride: Sites which do not provide for this prior to an actual meeting should be avoided.

• It will not be listed on any of the Russian Brides scam lists.
