Greater Surbiton quotes from Nikos Kazantzakis‘ “Zorba the Greek”: “Given current Greek policy toward Macedonia, it is illuminating to read the words that Kazantzakis placed in the mouth of this most popular of Greek fictional heroes when the latter described his role in the Greek struggle to colonise Macedonia […].”

On November 29, thousands of people in Moscow went out on the streets to protest against the construction of a new trading center. This center would replace the “Cherkizovski” market [ENG], which was closed down in June because of many illegal activities on its premises. The photos of the protest can be found here [RUS].
The Russian Coordination Center for the new national Cyrillic domain .RF stopped the application process for new domains. Anti-cybersquatting measures turned out to be infective and the center plans to review the rules of submission process, Russian news agency Prime-Tass reported [RUS]. It's not clear what will happen to the registered domains. Some sources claim that all previously approved domains will be deleted.
A new law “On Ensuring Access to Information about Activities of Government Bodies and Municipal Authorities” [RUS] will require, among other things, creating public Internet terminals all around Russia. But netizens question [RUS] the feasibility of the law.

Another stupid post by a greek hater who does not have the guts to put his blogs open for comments.
Incidentally, this is, as mentioned, a fictional character. Kazantzakis himself did not take part in the war between greeks and bulgarians in macedonia before the balkan wars, although he did fight in the Balkan wars. Plus,
because of his left-wing association, he was more sympathetic to comintern resolutions. Anyway, if you want to
get a much more accurate account of that war,
read Penelope Delta’s “Secrets of the Swamp”
your nazzi policy agains macedonia is gonna be unlived by the truth!
When talking about Nazis and Nazi policies, one should have in mind the Slavomacedoian (now FYROMian) past, as Hitler´s collaborators in the region of Macedonia…
The site below will enlighten you about who the Nazis are, when you see Slavomacedonians in Skopje welcoming the Nazi troops, marching with them in Ohrid and Bitola, posing for a photo alongside Hitler´s piture and the map of `Great`Macedonia…
