Trump sera à Moscou pour les commémorations de la fin de la guerre.  INFO LE POINT. Donald Trump et Vladimir Poutine se retrouveront à Moscou le 9 mai prochain pour les commémorations de la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Translation: Trump will be in Moscow for the commemorations of the end of the war. INFO LE POINT. Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will meet in Moscow on May 9 for the commemorations of the end of the Second World War.

French have all reasons to complain--they still cannot reconcile themselves to the fact that the most French men accomplished, with the exception of heroic Normandie-Niemen and Free French, was to shave the heads of poor French girls who simply dated Wehrmacht personnel in the times when France prostituted itself to Hitler. How Ooh-la-la.

Look at them "heroes". So, if true as this French rag complains--the Europe will have to drink their chalice of garmonbozia observing how victorious Russian Army marches saluting the Presidents of Russia and USA on May 9th. Do not get too excited, we have to wait and see (confirmation, if true), but it seems that British still didn't decide who they want to be ... And now--a discotheque. I need a drink)))

Update: It was French BS)) Now confirmed.

It Is Friday Before 9th.

Rosatom (yes the largest nuclear energy corporation in the world) couple of years ago started the incredible project of people who are employees of Russia's nuclear energy expressing themselves musically, singing the songs which really matter. Later real music stars joined. Today they sang the most important one of them all. Dark Is The Night.  

Dark night, only bullets are whistling in the steppe,
Only the wind is wailing through the telephone wires, stars are faintly flickering ...
In the dark night, my love, I know you are not sleeping,
And, near a child's crib, you secretly wipe away a tear.
How I love the depths of your gentle eyes,
How I long to press my lips to them!
This dark night separates us, my love,
And the dark, troubled steppe has come to lie between us.
I have faith in you, in you, my sweetheart.
That faith has shielded me from bullets in this dark night ...
I am glad, I am calm in deadly battle:
I know you will meet me with love, no matter what happens.
Death is not terrible, we've met with it more than once in the steppe ...
And here it looms over me once again,
You await my return, sitting sleepless near a cradle,
And so I know that nothing will happen to me!  

This one, however, was universal. 

Original--Coming In On A Wing And A Prayer:

Victory Day (День Победы).

To everyone who still holds dear historic truth and civilization--with  Victory Day. Eternal memory for those who demolished Nazism.

With Unified Strike

A very touching story (in Russian). Recently deceased veteran of Allied Convoys to USSR, Peter Skinner left his battle awards to Murmansk school children.
