I just had a student email me asking about Russian music download sites. Here’s what I told him:

http://www.mp3sparks.com isn’t accepting payments. Dunno why. They haven’t for a long time, so they’re out of the picture, as far as I’m concerned.

I recommend looking at http://www.mp3fiesta.com now, as well as http://www.mp3sugar.com.

There’s a huge list of Russian music sites here: http://www.squidoo.com/russianmp3sites

Lots of good info there.

Oh, and don’t forget the Amazon MP3 store. It’s actually nice - cheaper than Apple, but not as cheap as the Russians!

After blowing away a Russian Peacekeeping base in South Ossetia, ‘experts’ were ’surprised’ by Russia’s response. Yeah, right.

Inevitably, chatter about Georgia is coming round to the pieces that don’t fit. And we wonder if we’re really watching a Brechtian play within a play.

Even Stratfor analysts are puzzllng over ‘The Mystery of The Georgian Invasion‘ while others ask why Saakashvili chose to risk it all. Sure he did?

It’s a stretch to believe that the US knew nothing of the invasion, even though Bush was in China watching the synchronised swimming. There are some 130 permanent Pentagon advisors in Georgia, along with Special Forces, CIA spooks and so on. Yet it seems no one noticed anything unusual - like Georgia mobilising for WW3.

After weeks of wrangling Yulia Ty­moshenko has finally been appoint­ed as Prime Minister of Ukraine, re­turning the glamorous ‘gas princess’ to the post she held under President Viktor Yushchenko following the 2004 Orange Revolution. A coalition was reached between her Blok of Yulia Tymoshenko (BYuT) party and the Presidents party - Our Ukraine - to give them a parliamentary majority over the Party of Regions, led by Victor Yanukovych. Tymoshenko re­ceived 226 votes, exactly the total needed to confirm her as PM, and 2 more than the total she received in voting last week, as Yanukovych’s Party of Regions continued to ab­stain.

Russian girls discuss ideas and opinions on marriage to foreign men just as much as foreign men research on the possibilities of finding suitable Russian girls for marriage.

Lovers Planet runs a separate website in Russian, used exclusively by female members, including a forum, which women from all over Russia and Ukraine access for information exchange and discussion. Besides learning Russian, there are few better things you can do than listen in on Russian women discussing their expectations from foreign men on one of the largest forums on Russian dating (23,000+ female members and 12,000+ messages).

• These are great conversation starters, and you can send them as a free member to a Russian girl you like in order to see if the service works for you.

• But most Russian girls say that they quickly tire of continued standard messages, because they get too many of them.

Russian mobster Terek Murad has declared open season on the Russian militia and the FBI over the shooting of his brother in a Moscow nightclub. He hires the Jackal, a nasty assassin whom nobody has even seen, to kill the Director of the FBI. With nowhere else to turn (except a woman who used to work with the Basque separatists, who is now in the USA but whose exact whereabouts in unknown to all save Mulqueen), FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston (who was present at the Moscow shooting) and Major Valentina Koslova of the Russian milita (who pulled the trigger in that shooting) enlist the reluctant services of Declan Mulqueen, an imprisoned IRA sniper, to track the Jackal down, for Declan is the only other person who can positively identify the Jackal.

Thousands of Russian women have been living in the United States for the last decade or so, married to American men. Statistically, about 10,000 Russian women seeking American men come to the United States each year striving to start a new life and become part of a new family, and here is why.

Why are Russian Women Seeking American Men?

• America with an economy in bad shape is still a much better place to live in than Russia on the upswing. Educated Russian women are looking for a good husband and a better life in the land of opportunities.

• American men treat women as their equals and are generally respectful. This is a refreshing change for Russian women, many of whom go through verbal, emotional, and even physical abuse at the hands of Russian men.

Why are American Men Attracted to Russian Women?

• American men, on the other hand, like Russian women for their essential femininity. Even the most career-minded Russian woman takes more care of her appearance than the average American woman.

• Some American men turn to women from Russia for marriage because they are looking to start their family with a good-looking wife, who retains a commitment to home and hearth despite working outside.

• In some cases, the chances of a more mature but financially well-established American man’s chances of finding a relatively young and attractive wife may be slim in America. Russian women look beyond appearances and are willing to settle for affection and a secure future with an older man in the United State.

How are Russian Women Doing in the United States?

• Russian women initially find it difficult to adjust to the United States, because of the difference in language and culture. But with the help of patient husbands, most of them are able to go for satisfying work careers and family lives.

• Since Russian women are often blond, slim and attractive, it is easier for them to blend into an American neighborhood.

• The Russian women in the United States are usually well-educated, and have a passable, if not native grasp of the English language, which only improves with time.

The divorce rate between Russian women and American men is lower than the national average in the United States. If you are looking to get married to a Russian woman, sign up on Loversplanet.com and take the first step towards a fulfilling married life today.
