From all I know in Romania and Galicia people are frightened, Poland and Baltic's made it already public trough their governments. Bulgaria is quiet as they think they will be spared Hungary elected as a result a Far right government. Georgia is quiet as they know no one will save them and there Russia will cut the flow of crude oil to Botas / Ceyhan from the Caspian sea to Western Countries, and also by railroad from Azerbaijan to Poti Georgia. Syria's Asad murderous regime will stay and grant great port privileges to the Russian fleet in Tartus and Latakia to counterbalance and harass the US 6th Fleet, Egypt read the political map and started armament negotiation with Russia. So much for the great EU and US foreign policy strategies and the supposed support for the Arab Spring which is turning fast into a Russian controlled winter. All in All bad.

There is also now a website with a name that translates as “traitor.net” that includes photos and quotations of public figures who have spoken out in some way against Russia’s policy toward Ukraine. The bottom of the site has a button inviting viewers to “suggest a traitor.” At Mr. Putin’s direction, a committee led by his chief of staff is developing a new “state policy in culture.” Widely expected to be enacted into law, the proposed cultural policy emphasizes that “Russia is not Europe” and urges “a rejection of the principles of multiculturalism and tolerance” in favor of emphasizing Russia’s “unique state-government civilization,” according to Russian news accounts that quoted a presidential adviser on culture, Vladimir Tolstoy. A Russian news site, znak.com, also reported last week that a popular series of math textbooks would be dropped from an official list of recommended educational texts because it used too many non-Russian fairy tale and other characters in its illustrations. “What do we see from the first pages? Gnomes, Snow White — these are representatives of a foreign-language culture,” an expert of the Russian Academy of Education, Lyubov Ulyakhina, told the site in a question-and-answer interview. “Here’s some monkey, Little Red Riding Hood,” Ms. Ulyakhina continued, “of 119 characters drawn here only nine are related to Russian culture. Sorry — no patriotism — this is not funny; this is our mentality.” nytimes.com
