Yes, a trip to examine key facilities and talk with workers, planners, executives, and students in the Urals Federal District from 15-17 February, a total of eight different events, some discussions and other tours of industrial facilities and a school.
Very interesting, especially the prior history. I've been collecting various articles and books on the history of Zionism and Israel, so I've added your piece to that.
Thanks much for your effort Karl. I echo James. I understand it’s a pain and understand if you stop. I too travel a lot and am dealing with time constraints, but I’m sure everyone else is too.
I voted no. Not all of these events interest me personally, especially the ones where he's merely reviewing Russian economic matters. I accept that Russia is firing on all cylinders economically, so that doesn't interest me. I'm more interested in Russia's foreign policy initiatives. I don't mind reading translations of that stuff.
Keep it up, please, Karl. There is no other source of information about anything going on in Russia. Too much detail can be glossed over, as I do on occasion.
By far, it is the only source for me of a vibrant economy and how people participate in it. It throws me back to a post WW II emerging Dutch economy where the heavy hand of 'Father State' (no Rodina, but a strong Dutch stereotype) transformed itself into more of an 'invisible hand' of a market economy, the government still watching. There are hardly any Dutch state industries left, nearly eighty years later.
The translations are a bonus, but IMO not necessary. On the other hand, having a compilation of links from someone I trust is a tremendous resource, and if you continue to be an avid reader of the primary sources, I'm 100% in favor of curated references, with some highlights as you see fit!
karl, i know it is a lot of hard work on your part, but i feel it is an important service you are doing - sharing these overviews of putins actions and etc.. i vote for you to continue, but i would understand if you didn't!i should mention that i am not able to read all of these posts from you.. at present i am super busy at least until feb 25th... thanks again!
Thanks for your reply, james. The feedback I get from substack tells me the # of views and the rate with which subscribers open their email. The opening rate doesn't concern me as much as the number of views as I understand email issues. When I began, the English Kremlin page was rather poor as was the MFA's English page. As I wrote, The Kremlin's improved but the MFA still lags. But people still need to open their favorites and click the link to read the content, which is a daunting task for some. And it needs to be done regularly or you'll quickly fall behind given the pace of events. And there are some other points that are irksome personally, but those are my issues. I'd need to see a supermajority voting to curtail for me to do so.

Are you aware of this? https://francesleader.substack.com/p/dynamite-news-in-jerusalem-the-conference
I'd read some "whispers" about that event. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks Karl- A brief heads up with a link is sufficient for me. Great news of the liberation of Avdiivka.
Its celebration day here.🎻 (drat, could not find a St George Ribbon)
