Russian Defense Ministry *WEBPAGE*!! :-)
January 29th, 2009Believe it or not, the Russian Defense Ministry has a webpage!
Wherever I first read this, it seems there was a BIG debate about
whether or not the Red Army should “go public,” but the progressives
won out.
The address is: rian.ru/mo/mo.htm I have no idea if anyone is
monitoring who is sending them msgs. 🙂
So far, everything is in Russian Cyrillic … which should be nice
for languages people … and looks *very* Russian. There are pages
for Russian military history, including text on Alexandr Nevsky,
Suvorov, Zhukov, and … *Vasilevsky*! ?? 🙂
There are also pages by the various Russian military journals building,
as well as other neat stuff.
I believe this qualifies as an educational resource useful to any level.
You might want to send the webmaster … and General Shakalov(sp?) …
some encouragement/support.
It is hard(er) to go to war against someone who is your friend.
