And, as I said Google or their browser is smart enough to tell them of the mistake. Давай, давай - 11.

I think I'll stick to beetroot soup instead

(Apparently the Hungarian version is barszcz)

Still wondering where is our Great Expert on Russian Food with his millions of recipes of typical everyday Russian food made of barely cooked yucky offals?

3. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, aka Lenin (1870-1924)



No, Lenin was not born outside of Russia -- but he could never have achieved supreme power in Russia without outside help, Specifically Germany's. It was the German foreign ministry that arranged not only for Lenin's transport into Russia across the lines, but also substantively supported his efforts in bringing down the Provisional Government during 1917. Lenin is pictured above, disguised as a railroad worker without his signature goatee hiding in Finland after it had been revealed that he was receiving German support through their agent Alexander Helphand, aka Parvus.

Stop banging on your head, man. Your posts are a clear giveaway of its contents without your usual dull hollow sound

Oh my Firstly, the "documents" were as authentic, as the "Testament of Peter the Great" or "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and secondly, you've made some progress from your usual stretching of terms and definitions to the outright bizarre.

You've put an extra "b" in the last word. Other than that, I can only agree with you.

Are we to suspend healthy disbelief vis a vis the "sealed train"?

Gimme a break.
