“Defender of the Fatherland Day

On February 23 in Russia we celebrate “Defender of the Fatherland Day”. On that day in 1918, near the villages Bolshoe and Maloe Lopatino, near Pskov, soldiers of the 2nd regiment of the Red Army fought with the advanced detachment of German troops, which was advancing on Petrograd. On the initiative of the Petrograd Soviet, February 23 was considered the day of the creation of the Red Army. 75 years later, in 1993, Russia adopted a resolution on the establishment of a significant day for the Russian Federation - Defenders of the Fatherland Day.

Deputy Secretary General of the UN, Jan Eliasson, warned that the world is experiencing a "crisis of employment" with the youth as the main victim and warned of the consequences of failing to address that problem.
"It is essential to do more to create jobs for young people. Their frustration is understandable and undermines the belief in government and national institutions," Eliasson said in a speech to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

The Mèrida Initiative was planned by the U.S. and Mexican authorities as a program that would satisfy all skeptics. It was expected that the Initiative would please Mexicans who see the “new U.S. expansion” in everything; and the representatives of the Washington establishment who want to justify these fears at the expense of humanitarian intervention; and those who strongly believe that the drug trafficking is the exclusively Mexican internal problem that the USA should not intervene into.

Some people had to change their residence against their own will: as a punishment people were not sent to prison, but to exile, forever.
