( nr 125 ) LENIN, ARYANISM, etc. -
From " LENIN" ( MEN OF DESTINY ) by James Maxton (A Collection distributed by Heron Books, Published by arrangement with Peter Davies Ltd., no year indicated, must have been written in 1930s):
" But standing out above all the scientific reasons, economic and and historical, above the poets and writers, dwarfing everything and every one, is the man Lenin, interpreter of Russia, liberator of Russia, inspirer and initiator of the New Russia. To large masses of common people the world over he stands, not merely as the Russian liberator and the founder of a New Russia, but as the pioneer of a new world order which, having resolved the economic difficulties that confront the nations today, will usher in the age of plenty and give to all mankind that free and abundant life which has till now been only a dream."
".... In August 1918 he had been shot by the Social Revolutionary, Dora Kaplan. He took a bare three weeks in the country to recover from his wound, and returned to his desk again."
---------------------------------------------
From "First Russia, then Tibet" by Robert Byron (Penguin 1985 from 1933):
" .... the majority of those who enjoy the real power in Russia to-day are men who spent their early lives hunted from pillar to post by the Tsarist Okhrana; they were imprisoned; they were sent to Siberia; and the old spirit of suspicion and revanche still lives in them. Lenin and Trotsky were different. They too may have harboured these feelings. But their constructive energy outweighed them."
--------------------------
OXFORD DICTIONARY, sixth ed.(1980 print):
Aryan - 1. Indo-European; Indo-Iranian.
2. of the parent language ... (improp., esp. in Nazi Germany) non-Jewish German. [f. Skr aryas - noble ... ]
England can not be found in the Oxford Dictionary. 'Englander' - one opposed to British imperial policy. Russia - a type of a leather. No Scotland, but there is a 'Scotland Yard' entry.

( nr 124 ) LENIN cont. The entry on Lenin in Brian Mooney's book begins with: " VLADIMIR ILYICH ULYANOV was born into a privileged class in 19th century Russia. His father, Ilya, an Inspector for Elementary Schools was married to Maria Alexandrovna, daughter of a wealthy Jewish physician" and ends with " A master strategist, he did not live long enough to see his dream turn into a nightmare under his successor Joseph Stalin."
No mention of Fanya Kaplan's assasination attempt on Lenin.
---------------------------------
" The continuance of Communism, Trotskist/Fabian/New Left style, is best explained if we see that Stalin stole their conspiracy (stalin.html) His legacy had to be defeated, just as much as Aryanism and Christianity." - from http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/red-symphony.html

( nr 123 ) Lenin is on the list of "100 Great Leaders"(Shaping History) by Brian Mooney (2006) as a great revolutionary, with a page of biography, that differs from the standard (Soviet) textbook version. No alphabetic reference or order, so I might have missed Stalin. No big deal, one might say, but still, a recurring pattern.
----------------------------------------
"Corry en de Rekels" has two songs about cold climates: ' Aan de Noordpool' and
'Igorowitschj' (Igor Igorovich). The latter mentions Sarawat or Saragat (?), which I couldn't find in an Atlas.
----------------------------------------------
Cutting through stereotypes ?
From the "A dictionary of the underworld" by Partridge (and other ref.):
... Tom of Bedlam - one of a gang or order of beggars that, usually most pitifully dressed, pretend to have come out of Bedlam ... the same as Abram-man [1608-1785]
... abraham (or abram) man. [1562] 'is he that walketh bare armed, and bare legged, and fayneth hym selfe mad, and caryeth a pack of wool, or a stycke with baken on it, or such lyke toy, and nameth himself poore Tom. .... Beggars antickly trick'd up with Ribbands, Red Tape, Foxtails, Rags, etc., pretending Madness to palliate their thefts of poultry, Linnen, etc.
... Polack or Polak. Among white-slavers, this C.20 term is used as in A.Londres, "The Road to Buenos Ayres" 1928, ... The Polaks (Poles, Russians, and Czechs who deal in Polish Jewesses); ...
---------------------------
The Independent newspaper had a diabolical photo of semi-regular polygons of arctic ice with a tiny bear on it's front page last Thursday.
Too many news items (crime, accidents) in British papers to comment on.

(nr 121 ) - "The Russians: How They Live and Work" by W.H.Parker 1973 (0 7153 5984 3) -
"During the 1960s modifications to the system [planning] which allow much greater scope to the individual factory management were cautiously introduced.
.... These changes are known as the new economic reform in the Soviet Union, but abroad they are often termed the 'Liberman reforms' as they were first advocated by a Russian economist of that name.
.... During the course of the 1971-5 five-year plan the organisation of the Soviet economy is being transformed by the introduction of the computerised system and the application of economic-mathematical methods. Although Russia has lagged behind the Western world in the use of computers, she will be the first country to use them for the direction of the national economy."
And, to illustrate the point I made in my post nr 46 (27 Sept. 2007) this rather comprehensive book makes no mention of the LEGALIZATION of SODOMY and SEX EDUCATION of CHILDREN as part of the 1917 LENIN/TROTSKY's revolution and no mention of Stalin reversing that 'legalisation'.

(nr 120 ) Terminology + The lecture by Jan Franlund, Chairman of the Swedish Maintenance Society UTEK, was very interesting. Food for thought in problem solving area plus technical translation matters in EU. I'll certainly add the category of problems which come up again and those which can be eliminated once and for all.
Has the Master Copy in English of the CEN EN 13306 been influenced by the original French text of the CEN - Comite Europeen de Normalisation ?
One British scientist (lecture in Alverstoke) was reassured and happy to hear, that the Dutch advise to 'normalize' (waterways) did not imply abnormality per se, but ref. to standards of maintenance.
NORMS, STANDARDS, QUALITY, ..... TARGETS, PLAN, PRODUCTION, PERFORMANCE .....
TESTS.....
(in Russian) - GOSPLAN, GOSSTANDART, .... What went wrong there ?
One disturbing trend in NewSpeak is doing away with good old words like Quality , Efficiency and Guarantee. Standards has a meaning of its own, and Targets as well (hitting the target as in shooting).
Never liked the appearance of the so called Human Error, which suddenly claimed legitimacy.
