The Tsarevna would like to humbly advise the Kollektiv that while Amerikka is helping the evil Shaakashvilli in his vigilantism, and the Former Soviet Union as led by Vladimir Putin is helping South Ossetia and that other country I can't remember to rejoin its ranks, my own secret boyfriend Valery Gergiev, has rallied the people and troops with a great concert last Thursday in Tshkinvali, South Ossetia:


(Gergiev strides onto the stage with the tearful South Ossetian children, whom, really, it's all for.)

The western media has been stifling The Truth, but Russia's mission is entirely one of Peace! Since March, they have sent friendly Russian soldiers to Georgia Ossetia to help South Ossetia become independent of the terrible capitalism and free market that Georgia would oppress them with. Then, on August 7, the evil Shaakashvili, no doubt on orders from Bushitler , shot a missile into Shkinvali. Although the Russian prosecutor's office says only 133 people were killed there, they have obviously been paid off by the Amerikkan oil companies. As Gergiev said multiple times from the stage at Friday night's concert featuring the Mariinsky Orchestra playing Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky, "2000 people lost their lives! It is genocide!!!!"


(Gergiev conducts the Mariinsky outside the bombed out Parliament building)

(Russian soldiers and the friendly South Ossetian people enjoyed watching the concert together. At first we thought all Georgians had fled, but the Christian Science Monitor is reporting that one of their French friends saw some young Georgian guys hanging out in a giant cage listening to the jams.)


Long a darling of the west....he just ended a ten-year stint as Principal Conductor of the Metropolitan Opera in New York and he is chief conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, and besides, he's hot....Gergiev has been criticized for liking the materialism that comes with his position too much. But his federal job as director of Petersburg's Mariinsky (formerly Kirov) theatre is of primary importance to him, and he managed to save that wonderful place and build it up during the post-communist years while the Bolshoi crumbled.

And if anyone had any doubts, this nephew of Stalin's favorite tank designer used his bully pulpit on the BBC this month to drive home the fact that it was Georgia and it's warmongering ally, Bushitler, who were to blame for the bloodshed in his beloved Caucusus. Bravo Valery Abissalevich! You have more than ever proved your loyalty to the land that gave you an education!



While those of us at the People's Cube obviously couldn't be there, one of the Russian Peacekeepers has been kind enough to give us a run-through of the program and the significance of each song to Soviet and Russian history, and to the facts at hand:

Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony, The Leningrad
Composed by Shostakovich, and performed by the surviving third of the Leningrad Philharmonic while the city was besieged by the Nazis. (because, after all, the Georgians are at the door! no, wait, we're in Georgia, sorry...)

Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony (the song played when it was known Nazis had crossed line and began bombing Ukraine and they never stopped, never, until we dug in our heals and locked ourselves in buildings and ate all the wallpaper glue and Moscow became a death camp for Nazi Soldiers, OH! the irony. And NOW, a Georgian bombhas rained down on our village...ok the main part of the village....ok the parliament building and 2000 people were blown to smithereens!!!!!! Maybe 136 live people , but we've been giving a lot of dead Ossetians Russian passports around here just like we do the live ones to bump up the Russian population, and who knows, maybe those poor dead people were among the victims!


They shall not have double died in vain!!!!)

1812 Overture (about bonking that silly Napoleon back to where he came from, to that silly French country, as we will that silly Sarkozy if he doesn't GET it finally that we are playing with him when we say, "Cease fire? Yeah, sure. In a minute. First, we drink. Have some vodka, comrade. You're wife is very beautiful. Hey, jooon feeee. Have you ever been in tank? I will give tour.".)

ohhh... tell all! Tell all!

But, why no Rachmaninoff?

I am not too well versed in this situation Comrades. Do South Ossetians taste differently from North Ossetians?

Mostly. A few more free-radicals, though.
