Russian Defense Ministry *WEBPAGE*!! :-)

January 29th, 2009

Believe 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.
