In the space of two days, I’ve been called a “senior blogger” and a “grandfather”. So, with my arthritis ridden hands, I reached for my mouse and began digging through the archives, so I could reminisce about the good old days at Siberian Light. Here’s what I was writing about on this day in history…
March 13th, 2004:
- Fathers and Sons - why Russia’s main schism isn’t between rich and poor, but between the old and the young.
- Spaceship.ru - Russian plans for a re-usable spaceship.
March 13, 2005:
- Chechnya: Just who is in charge? - speculation on who killed Chechnya’s (rebel) ex-President Aslan Maskhadov, and who would replace him.
- Communist Party joins 21st century - news that the KPRF’s first forays into text messaging to attract younger voters.
On March 13, 2006, I was in the midst of semi-retirement.
