Poland will veto Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) if Russia continues to restrict Polish meat imports.

Both Polish president Lech Kaczynski and trade representatives stated they were considering this move. Polish authorities, both increasingly bellicose and hysterical, keep up verbal assault on Russia while Russian government remains silent and seemingly ignores the latest wave of provocations.

Andrei Lugovoy (Lugovoi) whom British authorities accused of murdering former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko has claimed that the British security services were behind the murder.

Andrei Lugovoy said he holds ample evidence that MI6c had a hand in Litvinenko's poisoning by polonium-210. Lugovoy, who held a press conference today, also said MI6 tried to recruit him to collect information on President Putin and that both Litvinenko and exiled tycoon Boris Berezovsky were on its payroll.

Poland wants a common energy declaration on the part of the EU, which would be conditional and binding to all parties. Poland demands that the issue of energy supplies be made key condition to negotiations over any new treaty between EU and Russia.

Mikhail Deliagin, internationally renown economist and director of the Globalization Institute (Institute of Globalization Problems) speaks about Bronze Soldier, Russian speakers in the Baltics and official policies.

Estonia has recently joined the EU and the NATO, two supposedly democratic institutions, but it practices apartheid on the scale that would put old South Africa to shame. Estonia has disenfranchised one third of its population because of their wrong ethnicity and for years has been doing its best to rehabilitate Nazi war crimes and its perpetrators. The US and the EU and other so-called democracies prefernot to pay any attention to the mischievous antics of their naughty Baltic protégé.

On Tuesday, a monument to Nazi generals and collaborators was destroyed in Moscow. The monument was located in the inner courtyard of the Church of All Saints near Sokol subway station. Unknown vandals smashed the small obelisk with inscription to the Warriors of Russian Service Union, Russian Corps, Cossack Formation, Cossacks of the 15th Cavalry Corps (XV.Kosaken-Kavallerie-Korps) who Fell for the Faith and the Fatherland.

A selective democracy is hardly a democracy at all and a «state» where one third of population is disenfranchised on a whimsical technicality can hardly be considered either democratic or free. As I know both societies intimately well I can say with a degree of confidence that most Russians (or modern Americans, Austrians, French or Germans) cannot comprehend what it is like to be of wrong ethnicity and live under state tyranny in an ethnocracy. A friend of mine was born in Estonia from parents who were also born in Estonian SSR in the 1950s.

The Baltic port business, according to some sources, is handled by Russian entrepreneurs, Andrei Katkov and Evgenii Malov. In the 1990s they were releated to Kirishineftorgsintez chemical company and to its subsidiaries which exported petroleum products to the Baltic States through St. Petersburg. A reminder: President Putin was in charge of supervising foreign commerce in St. Petersburg city hall at the time. As Russian Focus magazine wrote in 2004, Messrs Malov and Katkov were well acquainted with Putin.
