Russian Orthodox Church doesn't allow asians , churches in Ukraine & Belarus don't allow them either . Why don't you do some research ?

What question ? Frame your questions properly .

Can you name any church in your Lithuania where blacks and asians are allowed ?

I know for a fact that people in Lithuania hate these blacks and asians and do not go any where near them . And yet here you are lecturing me on racism .

You say you live in England , fair enough , I accept it . Tell me how many local English people you know who actually like these asians and blacks ? Since the UK is a civilized nation unlike India & China we tolerate them , that's it .

I state that I and my colleagues will do everything possible to destroy the feudal system being built in Russia, destroy the system of power under which 83 percent of the national wealth belongs to 0.5 percent of the population,” the protest leader said.

In his closing statement, Navalny accused Russia’s authorities of failing to properly use oil and gas revenues to improve the life of the country’s population.

For [the past] 15 years, a huge amount of oil and gas money has been received. What has this period resulted in for the country’s residents?” he said. “Has anyone got [a better] access to healthcare, education, new housing?”

“These are people who have seized power and are building their feudal regime. All these FSB [Federal Security Service] officers, generals put their children in banks, all these [ruling] United Russia [party] deputies sent some [of their close ones] to Switzerland, opening bank accounts there,” Navalny said.

We will destroy that feudal system that is robbing you all here,” he vowed.
Navalny also said he would not “run away abroad” despite the fact that he faces six years in prison.
“I can’t run away from myself,” he said. “What I want to do is be involved in an effort to help the residents of my country.”

ts scary to think that (courtesy of the "Shock Capitalism" nonsense that America sold Yeltsin) that its been many years before there was trickle down of wealth from the oligarchs. Many of them ran off to London, Dubai etc, to spend their ill gotten gains, doubley inflicting injury on Russia.

To solve this problem is a big big job. I think it needs to start by having people understand that feudalism and croney capitalism aren't a part of good government. And that they're not part of good economics or social management. Feudalism is a disease, that eats away at a country.

These forces of oligarchy are extemely powerful. I'm not sure what Putin could do, and how quickly he can make progress..

Fortunately, I think Russia *can* take steps to treat this disease. So that there can be prosperity not just for a tiny elite.

anniversary of the Baptism of Kievan Rus' decree to award the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise 1st degree Kirill - Patriarch of Moscow and
All Russia" - the document says.
Patriarch Kirill in Kiev today made a special prayer, together with the heads of the local Orthodox Churches, who came from all over the world
to participate in the celebration of the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus.
The President also issued a decree on awarding the patriarchs and metropolitans, including those awarded the Order of Freedom of the
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise 1st degree was awarded, in particular, the Catholicos-Patriarch

the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus. Referring to the President of Ukraine, the Russian head of state said: "This common feast reminds  
us of the spirit of unity and common roots, that much has been done in the previous century. We are determined based on what our ancestors

many joint issues to be resolved, and tomorrow will be another meeting." According to him, the feast of the Navy is also extremely important,

However, admit it, we would all laugh if Tu-160s cruise missiled the Saudi Royal family, and Russia justified it as per-emptive anti terror strikes.

Every day, Venezuelans wake up to find many basic staples missing from store shelves. The scarcity of toilet paper, for example, made headlines worldwide after the government announced it would import 50 million rolls to meet demand. Venezuelans are so desperate to find what they need, there is now a new iPhone app that helps you locate many products based on information shared by consumers themselves.The app is a creative stop-gap solution for what looks to be an endemic problem, one that the government is either unable or unwilling to solve. This became clear when the president of the government's statistical agency downplayed the toilet paper crisis by saying the short supply was a result of Venezuelans eating more food than ever before, providing valuable fodder for localcomedians.
Putting the punch lines aside, the scarcity crisis is profound. It's not just toilet paper that is missing. Soap, tooth paste, mouth wash, wheat flour, corn flour, sugar, rice, canned tuna, milk, margarine, chicken, certain medicines, and even the wine used in Roman Catholic Masses have all been absent from the shelves in the last few weeks.
The reason why Venezuela, one of the world's largest oil producers, suffers even as the price of oil hovers at more than $100 per barrel seems counterintuitive. Somehow, the government has concocted a system where despite fairly stable access to oil revenues billed in U.S. dollars, they don't have enough foreign currency to purchase basic staples. For a country that produces hardly anything itself, this is highly problematic.*

...

In theory, importing things isn't necessarily bad, as long as you have the currency to pay for it. The chavista economic model -- export oil, import everything else at subsidized prices, regulate every step of the productive process, and forget about local manufacturing -- works as long as you have an enormous flow of petrodollars. But even though the price of oil is high, it's not enough to finance the needs of 28 million Venezuelans.
