The remarks Kerry referred to the allegations that Jews were required to register by pro-Russian forces "grotesque," where today denied - for all to remember Passover was Monday Evening the denial came 2-3 days later not at Monday night or the next morning. marketwatch.com DONETSK, Ukraine — Worshipers at the Bet Menakhem-Mendl synagogue in this eastern Ukrainian city confronted a horrifying scene as they left a Passover service this week: masked men on a sidewalk handing out leaflets demanding that Jews register and pay a fine or leave the area, witnesses said. That the leaflets appeared in a highly uncertain political context did little to calm nerves or to dampen high-level international condemnation, including from Secretary of State John Kerry, who said Thursday in Geneva that “just in the last couple of days, notices were sent to Jews in one city indicating that they had to identify themselves as Jews.” The leaflets were supposedly signed by Denis Pushilin, the leader of the Donetsk People’s Republic, the newly declared and unrecognized state that claims to represent ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine ------------------------------------------------------------ Ukrainian Jewish groups have mostly rejected the Russian government’s assertion that the new authorities in Kiev are anti-Semitic, the claim also made by militants here, while remaining on guard against the prospect that the country’s political turmoil will stir up old and dark hatreds. That for now the anti-Semitic language and actions seem to be directed at other targets in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, rather than Jews, is little consolation. In the conflict, each side often accuses the other of “provocations.” Though pro-Russian militants claim that Ukrainian nationalists operate underground in eastern Ukraine, there is no evidence this is the case. nytimes.com --- of course they realized how stupid they are and then denied that it is from them -----

Hi Pearly, Alaska has friendly relations with Russia. Our local mayor has invited them to sail over here next year for our centennial, if certain complications can be be resolved... Group aims to organize a goodwill visit from a Russian tall ship adn.com A three-week voyage, timed to align with Anchorage's centennial celebration, would take the Nadezhda from its base in Vladivostok, in Russia's Far East, to Cook Inlet. Mayor Dan Sullivan has sent an official letter of invitation; the state maritime university that owns the ship responded with its own letter of interest. "The Nadezhda's call at Anchorage would serve good for enhancing cultural, commercial, and academic ties between citizens of the two nations -- the United States of America and the Russian Federation," wrote Sergei Ogai, the university's rector. The 360-foot, three-masted Nadezhda was built in Poland's famous Gdansk shipyard in the early 1990s. Koritansky said it can hold up to 200 cadets.
