Cool! Russia, the world’s largest country will be hosting the Mundial in 2018, after hosting the Winter Olympics in 2014 and Qatar, with a population of 1.7 million people

The storm is gathering and the dust has refused to settle after FIFA, the world football governing body, named Russia and Qatar the hosts of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups respectively.

The 22 members of FIFA’s executive committee - they would have been 24 had Amos Adamu of Nigeria and Reynald Temarii of Tahiti not been suspended - chose Russia over Spain/Portugal, Netherlands/Belgium and England for 2018 and Qatar ahead of the United States of America, South Korea, Japan and Australia for the 2022 World Cup.

Firstly, both countries will be hosting the world’s largest single sport competition for the first time and FIFA showed that they are ready to venture into previously uncharted territory.

Russia, the world’s largest country will be hosting the Mundial in 2018, after hosting the Winter Olympics in 2014 and Qatar, with a population of 1.7 million people, became the smallest country to be awarded the hosting rights.

Secondly, the bidding pattern showed that FIFA and other sports bodies like the International Olympic Committee (IOC) do not take the issue of human rights into consideration when awarding hosting rights. Take the instance of awarding the 2008 Olympics to China and now FIFA, awarding the 2018 World Cup bid to Russia - the major selling point is believed to be money. Russia, through President Vladimir Putin, has promised to inject over $10 billion into hosting the world in 2018 and Qatar, is known as the richest oil-rich country in the world. The Qataris have promised to provide air-conditioned stadiums so that the heat, which reaches about 50c, in summer, will be controlled.

Tyumen, Siberia – is a wonderful old little town located on the Tura River. Can’t imagine, but bears, don’t walk here on the streets, nobody wears babushkas, caps with ear-flaps and plays balalaika.

It’s an ordinary industrial city, like yours and mine. The difference is that here, 21 year ago, on august 26 – a nice baby was born. Those times, no one would even imagine that that girl will glorify Russia.

A lot of time had past. Now she’s a gorgeous woman. Her name is Kseniya Sukhinova. She is new Miss World 2008.

Kseniya wasn’t an ordinary girl. As a beautiful one – was always in the centre of attention. From childhood, she was found of sports like gymnastics and biathlon. Played in local fashion theatre, was a studious pupil. She was always in a motion.
She is in motion till now. By the age of 21 - she achieved a lot, scored great success. Need to say, that she worked hard and is working now.

Kseniya Sukhinova has a lot of titles: “Miss Oil and Gas”, “Miss Image-2005”, “Miss Russia” and now – “Miss World 2008”. But she earns it.

The VAST majority of men who visit Russia that i’ve communicated with have a real issue on their hands when they arrive.

At first it seems AMUSING and even a delightful situation.. But it quickly creates HUGE problems for them.

Imagine travelling halfway around the world and walking into the ultimate car dealership with usually just enough money and time to FINALLY get your dream car.

The dealer has a very unique special.. Every super car in this showroom.. and there are hundreds to choose from.. all resides within the same price range that you can afford.

Well comrades ..

Today is International Workers' Day, Communists, Socialists and all other variety of American liberals and Democrats.

Even the Democrats are doing everything possible to try to create a "People's Republic of America" ​​local Communist Party of guys did not have much to celebrate about over the last 15 years or so .. But they continue to do everything possible to get the old people who were raised in this system is enraged and buses around to the various statues of Lenin, who was still in town.

I got the chance to see it all last year, when I stumbled upon a crowd of red flags with hammer, sickle old symbols on them. Good thing I was not exactly holding Old Glory with me so that probably would not be welcomed at that particular moment.

True, most people do not really pay too much attention to this very day, although it is still a national holiday. What they are really doing, saved all his energy to a party on May 9, which is Russia's National Day. This is much more day and they also have much more fireworks too.

I fully understand that a trip to Russia or the CIS is not the easiest thing in the world to do.

Everyone has the obligation to their studies, work or business, and I know that it can be very difficult to get off the fast-moving treadmill of life to seek love and adventure on the other end of the world.

These problems are further compounded by obvious logistical issues associated with time, money and lack of local expertise.

Or, in other words ..

Once you step off the plane for the first time you can ask yourself.

"Well, I'm in Russia .. What the hell do I do now?"

I just got done reading a rather disparaging article about how big the Russian mafia Dating Scam industry ...

And it's not "pretty picture" ...

Even if the whole process is a scam he started with thousands of images of beautiful women floating around on the Internet.

You've heard stories that I'm sure, but here's what the major British newspaper Daily Mail reports.

Russia is one of the few countries in the world where the number of abortions more than the number of live births.

For example, in 2001, 1.32 million children were born in Russia and 1.8 million abortions were performed.

These figures are especially tragic, given that Russia is facing a disastrous demographic crisis with the United Nations estimates that Russia could lose more than half of its population by 2050.

One oddity of the United States and living in Russia is a full day and night difference in attitudes toward abortion. In the United States seems to have real political militancy on both sides of the issue.

But in Russia there is ZERO public debate on this issue.

Now I admit the following article can be a little biased, because it came from the English edition of the newspaper Moscow Times ..

But hey ..

I do not think I could have done better to write such an article was inspired by our favorite women in Russia itself.

But in ANYCASE ..

I can certainly relate to this guy.
