"Through the present (document) it is attested that comrade Stefanescu Eusebiu is an actor of the State Theater of Ploiesti.
The aforementioned is cast in the play "the Windmill" by Ion Luca, and the character he's interpreting requires for him to have long hair.
Thus the present (document) was issued to serve as justification when confronted by law enforcement."

It wasn't allowed for men to have long hair in communist Romania

In a scandal that nicely connects northern and southern Eastern Europe, Croatian MiG 21 airplanes that went to Ukraine for upgrade were returned in even worse condition and ex minister of defense might shoot himself.

In other * * * EX-YU EX-WAR NEWS * * * Bosnian Serb war leader Radovan Karadzic was sentenced to 40 years of prison by the Hague Tribunal. That seems fitting although there were of course groups who weren't satisfied because he wasn't convicted of everything he should've been. Before his arrest in 2008 he spent years as a monk-like alternative healer.


Another bizarre moment was that the Tribunal's ex spokeswoman was arrested at the sentencing (released today). Ratko Mladić, Karadzic's general and accomplice should also receive his sentence soon, and so should Vojislav Šešelj, Serbian extremist politician. Šešelj has been released for health reasons which don't prevent him from organizing rallies and burning Croatian flags. He also announced that he won't accept or recognize the sentence so Serbia will probably have to extradite him forcefully.

Movies in Poland are rarely dubbed - or at least were when I still watched TV. Usually a lector speaking over the original track is used.

The Poles have actually built up a decent army. On paper, it could beat the comically underfunded Bundeswehr and take Berlin. Russia would get a proper bloody nose if it tried anything.

Hey now, I'm not fan of modern or performance art either but shooting them to death with weapons clearly designed for military use seems a bit harsh, even for cat throwers.

In Poland at least there's a "hooligan league" where groups set up skirmishes (along with rules what weapons are allowed for a given fight and expected group size) and assign each other points for who won. The meet-ups are often connected to their team's friendly matches, but not necessarily, if there's a period of boredom. They're often pretty chill towards each other post-battle (as opposed to intra-city semi-criminal rivalry, where you can get your head macheted off).

My favorite part is that he explicitly mentioned "big-city feminists" to refer to the one protest movement that actually reached the allegedly oh-so-conservative small towns. Sure, the tens of thousands of people were out in Warsaw, Krakow and Tricity, but pretty much every decently-sized town had at least a couple hundred people turn out. There were even small marches of 50-100 folks in some sleepy little provincial towns I hadn't even heard of before. Definitely a far-left event organized by all the bored radical feminist student activist SJW millennials drinking soy lattes in the hip cafes of Wejherowo, Żyrardów and Susz

What is the takeaway from that? Trump is going to allow Putin to take over Belarus by claiming to defend it from Polish aggression? Trump is going to allow Putin to invade Poland because the Poles were aggressive first in Belarus?

There's no way Putin has any interest in ousting Kadyrov. If he wants to set Chechnya straight, he will do so by making Kadyrov apply pressure, not by replacing him.
