New Europe, April 7, 2008
Remember Odessa-Brody? Not many people do!

A half century before lamenting in Exit Ghost the man he once was and no longer is, Philip Roth’s protagonist and alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman – in a classic example of oedipal one-upmanship -- revises Isaac Babel’s words. Recalling Babel’s description of “the Jewish writer” in “How It Was Done in Odessa” as “a man with autumn in his heart and spectacles on his nose,” the virile Zuckerman of Roth’s Ghost Writer adds, “and blood in his penis.” далее...

Sixteen players are gathered for this knockout event, which carries a US $136,000 prize fund. Not enough to attract Anand or Kramnik. But Ivanchuk, Shirov, Svidler, Gelfand, Radjabov, Karjakin, Karpov and Polgar make the show very worth- while.

Looking with an objective eye, it becomes clear that the ruling elite has adopted mutually exclusive points of view. But do you think Russians are the only ones to have done so? Remember when Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko voiced his opposition to the erection of a monument to the Russian tsaritsa -- Catherine the Great -- in Odessa, even though she founded Odessa on what at the time was barren land, thus giving modern Ukraine what would become one of its few world-famous cities. далее...

The success of the informal energy summit held by Azerbaijan, Georgia, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine in Vilnius, Lithuania, on Wednesday will be judged later, when the agreements reached there become reality.

The pipeline is designed to pump oil from the Caspian to Europe, bypassing Russia. далее...
