“Belle pri?re ? faire pendant la Messe”
Seigneur, faites de moi un instrument de votre paix. Là où il y a de la haine, que je mette l'amour. Là où il y a l'offense, que je mette le pardon. Là où il y a la discorde, que je mette l'union. Là où il y a l'erreur, que je mette la vérité. Là où il y a le doute, que je mette la foi. Là où il y a le désespoir, que je mette l'espérance. Là où il y a les ténèbres, que je mette votre lumière. Là où il y a la tristesse, que je mette la joie.
Ô Maître, que je ne cherche pas tant à être consolé qu'à consoler, à être compris qu'à comprendre, à être aimé qu'à aimer, car c'est en donnant qu'on reçoit, c'est en s'oubliant qu'on trouve, c'est en pardonnant qu'on est pardonné, c'est en mourant qu'on ressuscite à l'éternelle vie.

"Preghiera semplice"
O Signore, fa di me uno strumento della tua Pace: Dove è odio, fa ch’io porti l’Amore. Dove è offesa, ch’io porti il Perdono. Dove è discordia, ch’io porti l’Unione. Dove è dubbio, ch’io porti la Fede. Dove è errore, ch’io porti la Verità. Dove è disperazione, ch’io porti la Speranza. Dove è tristezza, ch’io porti la Gioia. Dove sono le tenebre, ch’io porti la Luce. O Maestro, fa ch’io non cerchi tanto: Essere consolato, quanto consolare. Essere compreso, quanto comprendere. Essere amato, quanto amare. Poiché sì è: Dando, che si riceve; Perdonando che si è perdonati; Morendo, che si risuscita a Vita Eterna.

Siberian Camel Trophy
It is not an ad for Audi Q7. It is a fact. We had to pass the winter road on an Audi Q7. Usually, in cases like this Land Cruiser is used. Although in December we rode on a Hummer (wasn’t impressed). The road is not good especially during winter even for KAMAZ. The track is worth being a Camel Trophy. Especially because since 1990, when the first and last stage of Camel Trophy in the USSR was carried out, enough time has passed. It’s already thawing. Oncoming convoy of eight KAMAZ was careful not go more than 30 km/h. We were thrown. Growl. Skid. But without problems we made it to the drilling. And came back. Which during spring and for those who know doesn’t mean the same thing. Special thanks to the driver. 70 km/h on such road – means high level! Konstantin Y. Smolentsev http://smolentsev.com

Practical Joke
I watched “Practical joke” performance with the National Artist of the Russian Federation Tatyana Vasilyeva, Nat. Art. of the RF Anatoly Vasilyev, Philipp Vasilyev, Daria Mikhailichenko and Andrei Butin.
From the announcement: "She is a singer of world’s famous name. He is the standard of failure. She has everything in life, he had nothing. She stops at the best hotels in the world, he sleeps on a park bench. She dresses from leading designers of the planet, he – in charitable second hand items. She has a personal chef, he has a free bowl of soup. She was concerned about the problem of spending money, he forgot how they looked. Her life is planned years ahead, his perspective is the nearest police station. There is NO connection between these two people, but she is ready to drop everything and move with him to the bench in the park. What is it? Great love or a Practical Joke of life? "
Light comedy. Good performance. Well-spent evening.

Dialogue with Sergey Mironov
February 7th, 2010
Dear Sergey Mikhailovich! I have asked you a question in an online interview in Kommersant. It is really interesting to hear Your opinion.
“Creation of a competitive innovative economy requires a complex of solutions to form a favorable investment environment, develop business angel societies, investment funds, etc. And, what is really important, have systematic support from the entire investment infrastructure on a governmental level. How do you personally see realization of such broad and complicated problem in Russia?”
Best wishes, Konstantin Y. Smolentsev geologist according to the Bachelors degree :), Ph.D., the Academician of IIA, CMC, Chairman of the Board of Directors IC “SMOLENTSEV & Partners” Member of the Association of Independent Directors
February 12th, 2010
You know, I am sure that to do so it is necessary to implement a very simple idea into governmental politics. All regulation of economic activity should start from engagement in innovations, modernization and increasing competitiveness of manufacturing, which is much more profitable than exporting raw material and importing useless consumer goods. Concrete measures are easily deducted from this idea – under taxes, credits, legal regulation of the businesses’ activity, protection of property, etc. Here, in this blog, I try to touch on these topics almost in every entry. But the most important thing, I want to emphasize, is not in separate measures, but in unity, in those measures combined for favorable (profitable) economic climate for innovative development.
Sergey Mikhailovich Mironov, Chairman of the Council of Federation of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation
February 16th, 2010 It is hard to object your opinion, Sergey Mikhailovich. Then there is another problem – how to carry all of that out? On February 15th, 2010 an interview was published in “Vedomosti” “Miracles are possible” with Vladislav Surkov, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the President of the Russian Federation, Vice-president of the Commission of Modernization. He ascertains that many initiatives in this sphere have failed. I see that myself as I work with companies in the direction of increasing their investment appeal and attraction of direct investments. Techparks are more often simply premises for tenancy …. Full profanation of an idea! Mr.Surkov says in the interview that “All over the world demand for innovations defines the state and large corporations”. And immediately ascertains that in Russia “They (corporations) are not customers, do not risk for the sake of creation of new technologies. There is customer that will say “I’ll take it!” No one wants the innovation. And the state cannot act as the universal customer… the state as a whole is not in a condition to even formulate a qualified order”. And makes a conclusion: “We need a new “German large village”,… “territorially isolated complex”? Realization of which would be “Almost handmade, unfortunately”. And that is with more than 100 million people and vast Russian spaces? What effect will it provide or even an impulse for the country as a whole?
What do you think about Mr.Surkov’s concept? Is it a draft of state policy in the sphere of creating competitive innovative economy in Russia?
Sincerely, Konstantin Y. Smolentsev http://smolentsev.com

Between the lines
“Between the lines” by J.L.Vishnevsky and M.Domagalik. Different feelings than from “Lonliness in the Net”. And not from Vishnecsky’s letters – that part exactly tangles with the “Lonliness…”. Probably, because of the dialogue with a Woman, and her vision of the world.
Sometimes, it is really hard for me to figure out a woman. And sometimes I can’t understand why can’t she figure me out??? Doesn’t understand my simple wishes, my hobbies, my “loud thoughts”? Doesn’t want to or cant? Neither, nor. We’re different… What’s good is that I am not alone in the world with such questions. The world is built this way. There are men. There are women. That gives hope :) So if the world is simply built this way, there is a chance.
Dear God! Give me wisdom and strength to get through this! Amen.

“Love your angel or you will muffle the voices of day and night” (B. Dylan)
“Work is visible love. And if you work without love and you don’t love your songs, it would be better to drop work and sit in front of a church begging from people who work with happiness. Because if you’re baking bread with indifference, you’re baking bitter bread, which only half fills. And if you’re pressing grapes with reluctance, then your reluctance turns to poison for your wine. And if you sing like an angle, but there is no love in your song, you’re only muffling the voices of day and night in the ears of others”. (Khalil Gibran “Prophet”)

Uniting infinity
One of the most favorite movies of ex-Soviet people "Irony of life or S Lyogkim Parom" I was again (for a millionth time!) watched it with the Russophiles Circle – with a club of people, united to support, understand and create Russian culture. The movie was with English subtitles. I think it is unnecessary to remind that for the past 35 years this movie has become an attribute to the New Years celebration of the entire Russian speaking population of the world.
It was interesting to see reaction of French and English speaking viewers, who were watching the movie for the first time. Their emotions fully resembled the ones people who have watched this movie before many times – fascination! :)
Eldar Aleksandrovich, one more time I want to express my admiration and gratitude!
Art is a uniting infinity!!!
