On August 25, the Kurskaya - Ring Metro station was solemnly opened after a annual reconstruction. If two lines from the Soviet anthem (in its original edition) were decorated before the repair (in its original version), namely, “through the thunderstorms, the Sun of Freedom shone to us, and Lenin the Great Patient for us”, now the passengers will meet other lines from the same stanza: “Stalin has grown us on loyalty to the people and inspired us for exploits”.

The first meeting of the new parliament of Moldova, in which this time the majority is no longer communists, was marked by scandal.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko met on August 27 in Sochi. The meeting was preceded by a serious deterioration in relations between the countries, and as a result, the presidents did not agree on anything.

I’m willing to argue with anyone that the elections in Afghanistan were a success. And they can even be called the most interesting of those that took place in the world in the coming century. A strange, at first glance, experiment with free voting in this country, however, turned out to be very interesting results. Despite all the disputes, objections and questions. There were indeed a lot of questions.
