That's like saying North Koreans working in China or something are not allowed to vote in the North Korean elections, like that's gonna make any difference in Kim Jong-Putin's win :d

Angela Merkel is for the forth time in a row German chancellor.  Is she dictator now? 

Russia is aggressor in Ukraine and Syria, but its fine and democratic when USA and UK invaded Iraq, Afghanistan.

Serbia is responsible  for war crimes in Kosovo, Bosnia or Croatia, but USA is innocent for 2 million of dead Vietnamese 

UK made a resolution that characterizes massacre in Srebrenica as act of Genocide (for killing 8,000 Bosniaks), but hundred of thousands of dead in India when that country was British colony is not a act of genocide. Or millions of people in Congo under the Belgian rule?

Vladimir Putin is evil but Obama is Nobel peace laureate? Afghanistan is part of the US sphere of interest, but Crimea which has always been part of the Russian state can't be the same for Russia.

American military base on Kosovo (Bondstil) with 3,000 US soldiers is perfectly fine for all western "democraties" but Russian humanitarian center in Serbia with 5 Russian humanitarian worker is problem and abnormality for all that democraties. 

 

I'm sick of their fake democracy and so called fight for human rights across the globe. They build their fortune and perfect society on slavery and blood and today plays moral icons and human rights activists. So I personally wish all the same for UK, USA, France and all others, same as they did to people across Africa and Asia for the centuries of their colonial rule there.

Not exactly the meaning of dictator, as I'm sure you're aware.

Nothing fine about that. Or better yet: kicking Al-Qaeda's ass was just as good as Russia kicking terrorist asses in Syria.

Nope. Both of the sides you mention are definitely responsible for war crimes. Sadly nothing is done about that.

Obviously Srebrenica is (rather clearly) an act of genocide. Millions dead in Congo was one of the worst crimes in human history, but strictly speaking, not genocide: they didn't die simply for being Congolese, but they died because the Belgian rulers had absolutely horrific conditions for them to work in. Yes, it's all just as bad as genocide, but it simply is not the same thing, just like the millions of dead Chinese under Mao is a huge crime, but not genocide.

No problem with a military presence in an 'allied nation', just like at least in the 'big bad West' there's basically never anyone serious who has any problem with Russian humanitarian centers in Serbia. Never heard anything bad about it and don't see any problem with it. Most people who would have a problem with something like that are the "oh my god everything is a big conspiracy" kind of people.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
