My parents lived in Aspec <SP> Russia a while back and send me intresting links every once in a while. This one is pretty good.

A very, very good story.

I couldn't find this village on my map, but the town cemetary tells the tale that from the early 1800's, until 1986, all of the people who lived in this village were Smirnovs.

It must be sectarian village, where brothers married sisters and all have the same last name.

I put this village on my map and named it Smirnovka. I wonder if there is a connection to the people who lived in this place and the people who make Smirnoff Vodka?

I can only guess, because there is nobody here to answer the question.

The door on the right is free drink room and door on left is the election room. I don't know if the authorities came up with idea of making the day after the elections a holiday so the voters had time to sober up before returning to work. Old man who told me this story could not recall.

This town might be an attractive place for tourists. Some tourists companies have been trying to arrange tours in this town, but the first group of tourists found the silence unnerving and downright SPOOKY. And it is. They charged 1200 hryvnas for a 2 hour excursion and after some 15 minutes, they wanted to flee to the outside world. The silence here is deafening.

But then I see a slogan on a building that says - "The Party of Lenin Will Lead Us To The Triumph Of Communism"......and I realize that those windows were opened to the sping air of April of 1986.

And their flag was still there.

All of this happy horsesh.t was for the May 1st Labor Day parade.

In the Russian language a big dipper is a devils wheel. This one lives up to the name.

A very, very good story.

How about a very, very bad story?

A "Chernobyl" in Cuba?

It's been called the Cuban "Chernobyl". A ticking time bomb, 150 miles off our shores. A clear and present danger to the United States. Why is Cuba building a nuclear reactor? When, if ever, will it be completed? We took our cameras to Cuba with a team of Americans to find the answer to the question -- Is there a "Chernobyl" in Cuba?

Chernobyl, today

I was going to email her to tell her what an excellent job she did, but I am not planning on sending mail to the Ukraine anytime soon. If anyone caught an email let me know.
