Dr Zhivago

Dr Zhivago is not Putin Nature yes, it does its own thing it will never be tamed and behave in a predictable way. Outside mild rain falls there is no wind and the weather is content, freedom from Siberian frost...for now, but when frosty days arrives, with ice pearls on your breaths and frozen key lock in your post box, it is not fair to fault Vladimir Putin, he has enough on his plate with silly girls dancing in churches and offending good people´s sense of decency, and tax avoiding tycoons . But of course whatever Russia does it must be wrong. 50 years of anti Soviet propaganda has left its mark. Islamic terrorists have been bombing and killing many people, this does not cause stir in western press, some even thinks that the Russian ought to treat the terrorists better, it is Putin´s hard line attitude that causes this problem...The enemy of my enemy is my friend so welcome to The wonderful world of double speak, treason and never ending scheming on how to mould Russia into an image of Dr. Zhivago.

If Russia does it, it must be wrong. Those word have been ringing in my ears since I was born. I'd never eve heard of Hitler back then, nor Stalin, etc. etc. Wise words, Jan, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" Unmistakable, your poetry. love, Kathy
