‘Loving and respecting athletes – including supporting their reasonable needs – should be upheld at all times. Freedom, however, is always built on sound rules. Watching games has boundaries – fandom has boundaries. Passion must be kept in moderation. Use the positive energy of sports to cultivate a social mindset of self-respect, confidence, rationality, calmness, and kindness and friendship at all times. Let passion return to rationality – let sports return to purity.’
Over two years (1956-1958) – Nikolai Klindukhov trained 23 sculptors in China, including Zhao Shutong, Shen Wenqiang, Gao Xiulan, Yang Meiying, Fu Tianqiu, Su Hui, Ling Chunde, Shi Yi, Ma Gaihu, and Yu Jinyuan. Afterwards, the students traveled across the country to engage in teaching Soviet-style academic sculpture – spreading to many art schools across the country – becoming an important part of the formation of the sculpture education system throughout New China.
This was aimed at the British youth – who knew nothing about how the “ki-ai” (energy shout) was used everyday in the prison camps as the guards and officers “practiced” their martial arts (armed and unarmed) in-front of the prisoners. This was a prelude to these same guards and officers “using” these arts on the prisoners themselves. Inmates were tied to posts so that guards could practice their “reverse-punches” (gyaku-zuki) on he exposed and unprotected torsos. Ribs and sternums were splintered whilst the (still conscious) men screamed with each punch – the guards changing sides regularly so that they exercise “both” arms equally. Next, once the bones had been suitably “softened” (removing the outer protection) the Japanese guards would alter their focus and start projecting power straight into the inner organs. Prisoners would be made to watch whilst standing to attention. Any expression of defience would be met with the POW concerned – being tied to the post.
However, a research team led by Shi Lei, a researcher from the Kunming Institute of Zoology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, proposed an alternative possibility: certain ancient and highly conserved genes could also play a key role in human brain evolution by reshaping their expression levels through changes in regulatory elements.
The team compared transcriptomic data from different layers of the embryonic cerebral cortex of mice, tree shrews, marmosets, macaques and humans. They found that an ancient gene called “CCNB1IP1” was already expressed in the brain of the tree shrew, a close relative of primates, long before primates emerged but at relatively low expression levels.
The team further discovered that during the following course of evolution, the expression level of this ancient gene showed a clear stepwise increase among tree shrews, marmosets, macaques and humans, reaching its highest level in the human brain.
I would like to remind you that the leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, immediately after receiving the first data on the results of voting in the elections to the State Duma, stated that, according to independent sociological data, the result of our party should be much higher.
The leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Gennady Andreyevich Zyuganov, raised the issue of artificially underestimating the result of our party in a number of regions at a meeting with the President of Russia. And he proposed to create a commission that investigates electoral violations. The president agreed that an investigation is necessary.
I hope that “agents provocateur” (Trotskyites and CIA, etc) have not infiltrated the CPRF and are attempting to drive a wedge between the CPRF, the Russian people, and the government of Russia (just think about how many Russians have fought and died – including Communists). The last thing we need is for the CPRF to be “banned”. Timely protest important – but untimely protest is disastrous and uncalled for. Remember, the Lugansk and Donetsk Republics were declared “Socialist” in nature. The Russians lost their freedom when the USSR was abolished in 1991 – but the rot began in 1956 with Khrushchev’s demonisation of Stalin and the eventual election of Gorbachev. The betrayal of Lenin and Stalin has been a long and winding slippery slope. This has set-back the cause of Communism by decades. The CPRF is now an aspect of the capitalist system it has to work within. Acting in a manner which ignores this reality defies the dialectics of historical materialism. The current government is not directly responsible for 1991 or 1993. Work with it – not against it. The bigger picture involves the confronting of Neo-Nazism in Ukraine.
