THE KALININGRAD REPORT Historical Restoration More Important Than Citizens Health October 25, 2013 Todays leading story at Kaliningrad.ru reveals a huge indication of the worlds constant conflict of values between socialism and its enemies, enemies who are always too happy to put foolish facades ahead of the public good much in the same way that the ancient Pharaohs of Egypt did.
