What a great thread.
Very informative.
I had no idea Grozny was so beautiful.
Good luck, g

After discovering the architectural marvel of Grozny, let me pursue the topic of skylines. Just a break from our talks on UKie poverty, kinda nauseating somewhat already.
I am actually a fan of Russian architecture & cities.
Perm is currently under the radar but it has actually an interesting skyline. True, it is dispersed but it is actually relatively dense. Outside of Moscow & St. Petersburg, it has the 3rd most number of 20-storey & above towers in Russia after Yekaterinburg & Novosibirsk. What it lacks is an ICONIC SKYLINE FOCUS (where a skyline with fewer towers but better set-up could produce a more dramatic effect). They should build a strategic cluster (perhaps a "Perm-city" near the bridge joining the two towers already there now (look at the panoramic view below) & Perm can strut worldwide. It has an intact historical area with nice Tsarist-era designs, a nice Soviet avenue in KOmsomolski Prospekt (better Stalinist Baroque buildings than in Novosibirsk's Krasny Prospekt) then many new glass high-rises. It has a nice art scene to boot, compared by the Anglo-Zionist paper New York Times as equal to the Melbourne & Edinburgh art scene. It should be promoted more internationally.
Perm is the 14th largest city in Russia in the latest census, notching a million inhabitants, just ahead of the 15th millionaire-population city, Voronezh.(There are 15 cities with a million population in Russia)

Russian Army GRU unit from Ryazan is being called "Ukrainian Separatists" by Western media
Discovering the real Grozny increased my respect to Russia.
It's a shame that media reports on the peace & order situation have prevented the world from discovering this gem. It may be small but it may have the best looking skyline in the European part of the CIS outside of Moscow (Baku has dispersed high-rises, like Astana, Tallin, Novosibirsk, Samara, Rostov on Don,Krasnodar (many tower clusters but bland designs), Piter & Perm; the left side of the Kazanka River in Kazan has an impressive skyline but bland; Volgograd-city is just starting (only few high-rises but still impressive from the elevated highway). Only the Yekaterinburg-city along Yeltsin Ave near the Gorodsky Prud in Yekaterinburg can rival it outside of Moscow. Vladivostok is in a class by itself, it is more like a developing Hong Kong while Grozny is following the sleek Middle East look of Dubai & Abu Dhabi. (They are constructing a 50-storey skyscraper in Khabarovsk, but while it has the 5th most number of greater than 20-storey high-rises in Russia, the skyline is still dispersed, but the two Far Eastern cities, Khabarovsk & Vladivostok, are the skylines to watch in the future)

Moscow-city in Moscow
Yekaterinburg-city in Yekaterinburg (not a good picture, those skyscrapers in the middle are in the same street but they were made to look dispersed; it should have been taken a few degrees more to the left. Skyscraper photography is best if the towers cut a definite form against the sky; a more dramatic view is from the bridge in Chelyukintsev St though part of the towers can't be seen))

Terrorists get military supplies (allegedly weapons) from Russia
A pro-Russian terrorist posted on 5 November on his personal page in Russian social network "Vkontakte” pictures of unloading boxes from a Russian train in Donetsk.
The sign "OAO BГК” on the wagons shows that carriages belong to The Federal Freight - railway business established in Russia by Russian Railways.
The boxes might contain weapons supplied by Russia.

London yesterday
then rebuild it,
You can't rebuild it. Ukraine is too poor.
I doubt you can even afford a bomb, much less the fare for the trip to the border
Just watch the clip, you'll become more civilized

Ha, you guys even imported some black folks in to make it "legit"
Was that C&C Music Factory?
The other performers were better, even though i didn't understand a goddamned word of that devil's pig latin.
I didn't mind it. I liked the play in the beginning. The whole thing was interesting.
One local resident was quoted as saying,"Get us the FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!"
LOL, don't mind that one, there are always stupid people in a crowd.
Hey, I have an idea, the Ukie Nazis can always bomb Lvov then beg Putin to rebuild it like Grozny so that at least, an Ukie speaking city would look civilized for once.
I'm watching this clip now, a concert in Grozny

Hey, so can I bomb Moscow to the ground,

We'd build a gay orangutan heavy petting zoo just for you.
