Pool Build in Richmond TX
Thanks to all who contribute to this forum, the information here is invaluable.
We moved into the house last month and are building our first pool. We have three small children and if anyone has input on the mesh fences I would love to hear it.
Please feel free to comment on any aspects of the pool, I welcome any ideas. The specs are:
Perimeter 130
Max width 25
Max length 49
Area 863 sq ft
Depth 3 1/2 to 7
Travertine coping
River Rok finish
2 Intellibrites in pool, 1 in spa
Whisperflow 2 HP
DE filter 60 sq ft
Caretaker in floor cleaning system
400,000 BTU heater
Freeform spa with spillway with 8 jets, 1 1/2 HP air blower
Stacked stone raised beam on spa with 3 scuppers
15 ton rock waterfall with jump rocks and 3 lights
Easytouch 8 with SWG
5 bubblers in sun shelf
swim out shelf in deep end
They are suppposed to dig today, but no one here yet :(
Here is the builder's drawing:
The slide will not be there.
Here is where it is going:
He said that the whisperflo is a better option with the infloor cleaning system.
They are finishing the dig today, plumbing and steel tomorrow and gunite on Sauturday!
They're going to put a third light in the pool as well.
I'll keep posting photos.
In no situation is a whisperflo better than an intelliflo. They both have the same (or EXTREMLY similar) impeller. Cheaper, yes - but I suspect your PB simply doesn't want to have to calibrate the more intelligent intelliflo and teach you how to use it. I recently replaced my (shot) whisperflo with an Intelliflo and I could not recommend it more highly.
Lovely home by the way! Where exactly in Richmond is that? (I live in New Territory)
The original post asked about mesh fences. We had babyguard install ours and it seems to work quite well.
Two things to mention:
1. They want a small fortune (relatively speaking) for a swinging/self-closing gate (locally fence is between $10-11 per foot, gate is ~$400 for 3' width). We opted not to get one as my wife & I are kind of paranoid about clever little ones. We raised 4 of our own, and had 13 foster children over the years. Now grandkids are coming. Our concern with the gate is that it appears if kids work as a team they could get through - which means they will get through eventually. We also alarmed our patio door with a little battery powered thing from Lowes that can be turned on/off (my wife is very paranoid about downing instances).
2. Make sure they understand where you want the fence placed: any specific code requirements the community requires (ex: my town requires a 36" setback from the water while the county requires only 20"); Any specific places you want entry areas placed (they make double holes so a section can be rolled back and pole temporarily placed); any angles you want the fence line to make for aesthetics (requires more poles), etc.
You have one pump for all of this? I would definitely switch to the Intelliflo VS3050 - 4 speed variable (3 HP) pump. If you are getting the Caretaker infloor cleaning system, I bet the Caretaker designers recommended a separate pump to operate it. You should ask your PB for a copy of the design and specifications. Your electricity bills will be out of sight with just the one Whisperflo 2 HP. It is an energy efficient pump, but you are asking it to carry quite a load.
I'm really quite shocked that your builder only spec'd in a single pump for your pool.
I completely agree with womanowned, IMO you should get a 4x160 multispeed pump. You can assign specific rpm's to your different items.
Congrats on the new pool, it going to be AWESOME.
I love a large pool with a large waterfall!!!
See ya,
Thanks so much for the information. It's possible I may have misunderstood how many pumps there will be- I was more focused on the design than the mechanics. I'll definitely talk to him about switching to the Intelliflo VS and look into whether a second pump is recommended for the Caretaker.
OK, I talked with the builder. He has a 2 HP for the main circulation, a 2 HP for the waterfall and a 1 HP for the bubblers. We are going to switch to the intelliflow VS.
So now my question is, if I use the intelliflow VS how many pumps do I need and should they all be the intelliflow VS or should some remain the whisperflo?
lemonspinner...fabulous pool. I like the large yard, trees and pool...it is going to look great when finished.
Regarding pumps, I'd keep the 2HP for the waterfall, bump the 1HP for the bubblers down to a .75 HP pump and recommend a 2 speed or variable speed for the main circulation pump. Both will do the job and drastically lower your energy bill at the lower speeds.
You may want to even price two 2 speed pumps for your pool...one for the waterfall and one for the circulation pump. You could use two variable speed pumps also depending on your budget.
We have a similar setup...two 2 speed pumps. The waterfall 2 speed allows a roaring waterfall or a trickling waterfall depending on desired mood. The 2 speed operates our infloor at low speed most of the time and runs daily at high speed for about 2 hours to clean the pool floor.
We also have 3 bubblers, 3 deck jets and 2 aerators all on a .75 HP pump and this is plenty of power for these water features. Also, we have a 3HP pump for our slide which requires 160 gpm for sliding action!
Hope this helps.
Have you decided on your River Rok finish? It was a very difficult decision for us, because here in south NJ there are not a lot of pebble pools, especially River Rok. And, there were limited pics on the internet. In the end, we went with Granite and love it! It is the perfect color for us, and it feels great on your feet.
I am struggling right now with the decision on the finish. I went to a friend's house and didn't like the feel of the pebble on her sun shelf- it wasn't comfortable to sit on. So now I am thinking of maybe doing diamondbrite or durazzo in a sandy color for the sun shelf and swim out shelf, and doing a medium blue pebble in the main swimming area for the look. I am also thinking of tiling the seat on the spa for the same reason. Does anyone have any other ideas or input on this?
We are going with Pebble-Fina for our finish simply because we don't like the pebble feel. It looks beautiful but it keeps the bactine and band-aids flowing. This is our second pool and the first was plaster but all the neighbors had Pebble-Tec. In the end I was glad we went with plaster since all neighborhood parties ended up in our backyard and I didn't have to buy stock in Johnson & Johnson. Although I'm not sure that is always a good thing.
We did look into Hydrazzo and Durazzo both of which are polished marble. Hydrazzo seemed to have more colors to choose from in the pallet we were looking for and may have been a better choice for us in the end. Oh well we are pretty tired of making choices at this point and Fina it is!
I have the Intelliflo VF, not the VS, though the VS is a little bit cheaper I wanted the greater control of the VF (3,051 different speeds, not just 4 - I'm a pump engineer so that appealed to me) But both are really good.
First benefit is of course power savings - the intelliflos are more effient than the standard motors even at the same flow conditions (there are videos on YouTube showing this - do a quick search) But what I like best is that I can turn it down to 2 turns / day and run 24 hours straight for less energy than I was using before for 5 hours. This gives me 24 hours of skimmer operation which really helps prevent leaves and other debris from water logging and sinking to the bottom, and also keeps the water from stagnating which promotes algae growth. Also when the pump's running at low speed it's almost silent - I have to walk over there to make sure it's on! (Also I'm no fan of the standard open drip-proof style motors - stupid for outdoor use if you ask me. Especially after my old pump motor siezed up this winter. The intelliflow uses TEFC [Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled] motors which are far superior)
My pool looks to be about the same size as yours (maybe a touch smaller) and I have a single pump for hot tub, pool circ, and waterfall, but I would say if you have seperate pumps that are on/off like for waterfall, a single speed pump should do fine. Not sure why you'd need 2 HP for a waterfall pump since there's no head drop on the line, but I doubt it costs much more than a smaller one so it's a minor point. But I've had no problem with 1 pump, and it should be noted the Intelliflow is 3.5 HP I believe when fully cranked up, trust me that thing can really kick out some impressive flow.
Thanks all for the comments. Not much has happened in the past 2 weeks because of rain :(
The trenches are dug, once the rain stops they need to drain the trenches and long plumb. Tile and coping and rock waterfall will be next (if I can decide on a tile)!
beautiful pool!! curious if you have any updated photos. i'm anxious to see what type of coping you went with around your hot tub. love your travertine coping around the pool. we are going with a similiar travertine and my pool builder is saying they can cut the travertine like yours for the pool coping (ours is also free form pool w/ circular hot tub) but coping must be 4x12's (brick like) for the hot tub. thx!
Cakelady 2010-
Thanks, yes, we used the lighter travertine but now I wish we had gone with the darker noce. We did decide to use the noce for the decking however, so there will be a slight contrast between the coping and decking. They are still doing the prep work for the decking but I will post a spa pic when I get a chance.
Thanks! We went with Durazzo Sandy Beach on the shallow and deep end sun shelfs and spa (we wanted something smooth because the kids will be sitting on them) and we did River Rok Harbor Gray on the rest.
The pool is filling with water now and they are laying the travertine pavers, I'll post more pics soon.
lemonspinner....Congratulations.....you'll be swimming tomorrow. Turned out fabulous.
We filled out pool 3 years ago to the day and remember vividly the excitement of being able to swim finally....the kids could not contain themselves and had smiles permanently on their faces for days!
The memories in your backyard are just beginning!
The first jump in is going to have to wait- we need to get the electrical hooked up first. But I'm so excited to take those photos!
However, we do have our first pool visitor. Can anyone identify what kind of snake this is? It looked venomous to me.
Beautiful home and pool design. OMG that snake would scare me to death. I live in MD where we do have copperheads (venomous) so that is just one of the many reasons I will NOT have a dark fininsh. I hope you don't see any more of those. Enjoy your new pool and please keep the pics coming.
We finally have the decking done. We are waiting on the scuppers for the spa wall and finishing the fire pit. The color of the plaster is still evolving, getting a little darker each week. We went with River Rok Harbor Gray. Here are some recent photos:
A different view of the plaster color:
Nighttime white light:
Nighttime magenta light:
Nighttime green light:
First jump in!
I'll get pics of the fire pit once they finish it today and also the waterfall once they seal the leaks.
The travertine was sand set, I don't have a picutre of the prep before the pavers were laid. However, we do have Woodridge quartzite already on the summer kitchen and veranda. I really didn't like the Woodridge (too orange for my taste) and so I didn't want to continue it around the pool. So we transitioned between the Woodridge and the travertine by having travertine on the step tops and Woodridge on the risers. Here is a photo, nothing has been washed yet so the decking is still very dirty:
Here is the fire pit:
They are putting the rock around the back of the waterfall today and getting the in floor cleaning system operational. We have to decide what to put around the fire pit where the concrete is, they have suggested landscaping, travetine facade or spray deck to match the travertine color.

There are so many to choose from, what's some good ones?
What does the manufacturer of the furniture recommend?
It's a gl lazboy and I just got a reply from them: they don't endorse any particular conditioner.
When I walk in to a La-Z-Boy gallery, I do not smell leather, so I'm guessing that it is all fully protected.
To the best of my knowledge, La-Z-Boy only carries fully protected leathers, so a conditioner may not have much effect on that leather.
That's interesting. It's one of the big chairs and was $1200 if that helps.

AC tube insulation
dland2000March 25, 2012
The tubular insulation on a pipe going from my outside AC unit into my house is corroded and falling off and needs to be replaced. I went to Home Depot and got some polyethylene tube insulation. However, I'm not really sure if this is the right stuff. They also had a foam rubber version, which was slightly more expensive.
Does it matter which of these I use or is there a better alternative?
none of these are the right insulation. They are used for
none of these are the right insulation. They are used for
indoor pipe wrap. They have no UV protection. They will work
for about one year then replace it again. You need armaflex.

I train and race mostly in the Pure Cadence3. I wanted a shoe with a bit more cushion and durability for my longer training runs. I'm 6' and a lean 195#'s, but 195#'s means I go through shoes quickly. These shoes have fit into my rotation perfectly. Easier on my joints and pocketbook. I mostly use them for 10+ mile training runs.

Filemaker announces Bento for iPad
Filemaker has announced that it will be launching a version of its popular consumer database application, Bento, for the iPad. Similar in concept to the Bento for iPhone app released last spring, the iPad version of Bento can be used as a standalone app or sync via Wi-Fi with the Mac version of Bento. The new version has been redesigned to take advantage of the larger screen size and UI features offered by the iPad to provide smoother database navigation and a visually appealing presentation of data. The app will ship with a number of database templates to allow users to quickly get started and is expected to be sold as a separate app for the same $5 price tag as the iPhone version.

Leonardo Resendiz made a methodical point in the shooting death of a mock trial that's long been a staple of Joe Waller's Careers in Law Enforcement classes.
There's a leak at Lathrop City Hall.
It looks like almost early summer on the Stanislaus River watershed.
They are Weston Ranch's power couple. But Dale and Jill Fritchen don't see themselves as such, and never have.
The working alignment for the contentious proposed extension of a dry levee south of Manteca is directly behind parcels on the north side of Fig Avenue between Airport Way and Oleander Avenue.
Kai Burburn rocks back and forth nervously on the lip of the bowl at the new Lathrop skate park.
Free Weston Ranch. That's the rallying cry of this small community in South West Stockton.
The second annual Mother &Son Dance at St. Anthony of Padua School will be held Friday, Feb. 6, from 6 to 9 p.m.
Manteca's next municipal building could go up on Daniels Street.

It took less than a week for a jury to convict Michael Roessler in the murder of 51-year-old rural Manteca Michael Lawrence.
The Manteca Kindred Arts has been bringing top-notch musicians of national and international caliber to Manteca for nearly three decades. Perhaps less known is the fact the non-profit organization has been offering other entertainment options every year for the public's gastronomical pleasure, among other things.

Imscared - A Pixelated Nightmare
Imscared - A Pixelated Nightmare is a free indie horror game. Despite its retro graphics, this first-person horror delivers scares as well as being genuinely innovative. It's highly recommended for all horror fans.
I don't want to give too much away, but the game's introduction is great. It claims you need to make sure the RAR file was extracted properly or the game won't work. This probably means you'll have that folder window open as you begin, which is important, as that folder is somewhere you will come back to!
The first time you play Imscared - A Pixelated Nightmare, it seems like a pixelated Slender game. You're somewhere in the dark, and you need to find things to escape, you assume. But the game ends abruptly, and that is where things get interesting.
From here on, it's clear that Imscared - A Pixelated Nightmare is playing with you, which is quite unusual. Developer Ivan Zanotti has found a way for his game to be much more than the now common series of jump-scares, and this makes it pack a much bigger punch than the many slender clones out there.
Imscared - A Pixelated Nightmare is an fascinating little horror game. Turn out the lights, put on your headphones and enjoy it.

All doom and gloom around here.
I think Legwand can be a 50-65 point guy for Detroit, while playing a good two way game. Helm cannot be relied upon anymore it seems so this deal makes sense if he signs another contract with us.

It is up to Putin and his government if they want a close and honest cooperation with Germany or not.
Germany is prepared to an extremely close cooperation with Russia but Russia will have to go the way of democracy.
Russia has not too many partners that would like to cooperate.
Russia and especially Putin will have to move towards a real democracy.
As much as I appreciate Mr. Putin as much I do expect in Russia a liberal change towards more democracy.
Germany is the favourite and born partner for Russia as Russia is the closest and most reliable ally of Germany since ever.
Without Russia the German re-unification against the warmongering British, French, Italians and many other European countries would have been absolutely impossible.
Germany can nothing but be grateful to the generous and great Russian nation.
The biggest mistake the GErmans made that was leaving the Russian troops in East Germany as their best allies.
As a kind of punishment the Germans now have 70 years after WW II still huge masses of British and American occupation forces in Germany.
The Red Army unfortunately left Germany but the American and British occupation forces still are occupying Germany as an occupied country or like one of their inferior colonies and Germans are daily not treated better as Indians in 1900 by the British.
British and American forces stationed in Germany are nothing but a shame for their country.
Their worst trash they are sending to Germany .
The Red Army only sent the very best of its soldiers.
True from the beginning to the end, I only don't know about those British and American soldiers - not aware.
But its true that our nation selected carefully those whom it sent to Eastern Germany.
Interesting. Maybe some of France's PSA (Peugeot Citroën) could consider establishing their works in Russia. In fact since François Hollande's uninspired idea to 'punish' the rich, certain companies are already in the throes of preparing to move out.
To have to contend with world competition might determine a radical change of attitude and policy for Russia.
As far as the French socialist government is concerned, the word (competition) still doesn't seem to figure in the socialist vocabulary. Perhaps because it's incompatible with the word 'equality'.
Peugeot Citroën decided to expand their operations long before François Hollande became your President
True, but the process has been accelerated by the French government's counter-productive and punitive tax measures. The socialists don't seem to have yet twigged that to survive and be competitive, large private companies such as PSA have to establish themselves where it best suits them for their future development. Commercial frontiers belong to the past. Socialism however, still seems to depend on nationalism.
Dear Anglo-Scottish living in France
you didn't hear the last news, Peugeot is going to associate with Toyota
oh and the french enterprises aren't leaving because of Hollande flaming the richs, especially they will not use the red teppish scrolled by your Camoron.
The richs that are concerned with the taxes are individuals, like Bettencourt, that lives as rentiers, but have their assets in taxes paradises, or the jet-set stars of soccer, and pop music
The enterprises who invest their benefits into their working tool, will not be taxed
I'm aware of that, but you are misinformed re. the French government's tax projects. They include virtually everyone, especially the rich with the ISF, and companies whose uninvestable profits rise above a million euros. Such profits will be taxed at a rate of 75%.
To give you an example, the new footballer, Ibrahimovic, enlisted to play for PSG is being offered an incredible 14 million a year. The socialist government is outraged, but they should be more discreet because thanks to Ibrahimovic they will rake off 10,500,000 euros leaving the former with 3,500,000 euros. Still a lot admittedly, but the disparity is enough to encourage Ibrahimovic not to stay too long in France..
Quite a few companies are already in the throes of preparing to reestablish themselves elsewhere, because the French social charges and tax make it virtually impossible for them to compete with other European companies. It all boils down to competition, which isn't regarded as 'social', so it can never be a socialist speciality.
I doubt very much they are gonna be able to scrap together 25 millions sober people needed to fill all those glorious high skilled vacancies.Due to unavailability of adequate workforce they have to import millions of foreigners as it is.So no russians dont need more job vacancies
Don't worry about being "able to scrap together 25 millions sober people needed to fill all those glorious high skilled vacancies"
Just read all AlinaIlyina's claims that ALL 140 million people in the Russian Federation are sober ALL the time.
Actually, come to think about it, Russia could become an exporter of SOBER people ! :))
Any takers ?
nope no takers.An undereducated dim german who can barely speak english wouldnt have any trouble at all emigrating to Austalia or new Zealand.He and his deadbeat wife will be welcomed with open arms.Not such luck for a "highly accomplished" russian with a bucnh of degrees in all the right fields.They are gonna make him jump through loops till he gets tired and gives up on the idea on becomeing a part of glorious golden billion.So no russians need to apply.
(disclaimer:I deduced it from watching "Auf und davon – Mein Auslandstagebuch" show so I have no claims on being an authority on the matter)
I didn't claim that all people in Russia are sober all the time. But I don't agree with your claims that all people in Russia are drunk all the time.
Try to offer a rational opinion when you are sober. It may be difficult but your Kremlin employers will notice it.
Udoit is one more of your profiles, Didomyk-Yura2009-Udoit.
It must be such a pleasure for you to first post a comment, and then to answer to it using a different name, especially considering that you don't have any friends.
One more sign of your deterriorating mental condition.
It's about the time for you to create several new profiles because these three have already been uncovered.
Waiting for you to become sober and eventually to grow up which obviously will take much longer, if ever.
You have come across a double secret agent of many faces Didomyk who represents subversive D.I.D.O. organization.
The young Russian GRU recruit who call herself Alina has not yet been trained in the more sophisticated nuances of international counterintelligence. Limited by the requirements inherent in her ongoing GRU training, she could not grasp the complexities of counterintelligence.
I always agree with all the brilliant Didomyk's comments
No wonder stupid attracts stupid!
I sincerely hope it will be a good thing for Russia , that it will help Russia to reform herself as China did so well using WTO tool.
corruption is abundant in west hemisphere too. but is "meta-corruption" that is much more polished, institutionalized and has replaced its enforcement mechanisms (brute force, violence and outright terrorism) with more subtle methods. The interesting point is where the meta-corruption meets the old corruption. interesting things happen then.
At least one article about Russian economy and its prospects and not about Putin=evil.
The corrupt Russian government will result in more stealing from, and killing of, the people. Why anyone would enter that corrupt evil nation to do business is beyond comprehension.
might be course of it is not that evil?
that "evil" nation saved the world 70 years ago
Come on, Alina, get real. We know the history, the USSR was not RUSSIA ! As to "saving the world" its overambitious propaganda.
Very true - but by using war materiel supplied by USA and other Allied countries.
In exchange for gold. For the US it was just a deal - an opportunity to earn some extra at someone else expense. The supplies represented small, although admittedly welcomed part of overall Soviets' needs. its so arrogant and disgusting of you to compare 25 millions of people died to save the planet with a speculative deal.
Didomyk, tell us who saved the world? Ukrainian Cossack...eh?
Less than 10% of all war material used by the USSR was supplied by the Allied nations. More than 90% was manufactured by the USSR itself. (Sorry, I don't remember more precise figures)
And yes, those 10% of supplies were sold, not given away as some charity.
Andd yes, it's so terrible of you to compare the value of human lives to the prrice of weapons.
I know history, and I lived in Ukraine for 17 years
Didomyuk, "In the 20th century the USSR saved the world" - these are not my words. It's a quote from a book written by an outstanding British scholar Stephen Lovell.
That's not exclusively his opinion. Couple of months ago I met a person who has been a top military advisor of several American presidents, among them Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and the current one. That person said: "For me as for a military man and for others like me it's absolutely clear that during WW2 the USSR determined where the wind was blowing. It's because of the terrible personality od Stalin that we have ner admitted it and never will."
27 million, not 25
It's an open question who needs to get real, you or me. Or do you think that you are smarter than professors and military chiefs combined? Who is overambitious here?..
Didomyk is a professor himself from Horilka, economics and politics to wartime business. A Jack-of-all-Trades. Ask his disciple Sir Walter.
hahaha))))) I have noticed that :))
Adequate people are so rare nowadays, nice to meet you here.
You have failed so far to introduce yourself as a supreme expert on the 20th cent. history of Europe (or is it the world ?) as well as a distinguished military strategist with invaluable experience in Stalin's Supreme Command known as Stavka. We shall all benefit from your valuable insight into the Kremlin secrets of WWII, many of which most likely are known to you and you alone. But before disclosing some proprietary military data be sure to get clearance from your Kremlin employers. Otherwise your salary may be cut or even frozen.
You know the answer who saved the world. Its obvious to anyone who heard about the German princess aka Tsaritsa Catherina and her half a dozen lovers of various origins and capabilities. Later on Rasputin tried so save the world in his own way with another tsaritsa...
The rest is 'history', ask Alina, the expert.
Yes, I am neither a brilliant historian nor a high-ranking military specialist. Neither are you. The difference between us is that I rely on the INDEPENDENT (not influenced by propaganda) opinion of those who are, while you distort facts as you wish.
I don't advertise Stalin's policy here, I am well aware of the crimes of communism. In fact, I hate Stalin for what he did to my family.
And you know what? I think you are one of those insane Ukrainian nationalists.
I don't have anything against Ukrainians. In fact, I love Ukrainians! I am 25% Ukrainian myself, I speak the language, I am well familiar with Ukrainian traditions, history, literature.
And I know very well that the USSR wasn't just Russia. And I know that Ukraine paid a high price in WW2 (as well as Belarus).
But I am not like you. You are among that narrow-minded bunch of Benders from Western Ukraine who believe that you can't be a true Ukrainian patriot unless you are anti-Russian.
That silly infantile outburst only demonstrated that your blood stream has been repeatedly poisoned by the kacapian-made home brew known as SAMOGON. Try harder to cut that kacapian influence which is sure to lead you to insanity at your young age. And if and when you eventually get sober stay away from any bottle labeled Smirnoff or Stolichnaya or Moskovskaya. Meanwhile, getting hold of your infantile emotions should also help you keep your well paid job with the KPB (Kremlin Propaganda Bureau). Oh, don't confuse KPB with the KGB.
Hahaha :)) Nice try) But I have never tried vodka in my life and never will, so I've been doing pretty well so far without your nice advice. But you surely drink horilka now and then. Probably, family alcoholism has been your personal problem, certainly not mine.
That wasn't an outburst, I am a very calm kind of person.
I've read several of your comments before and I've noticed that you often accuse Russians of being drunks and Kremlin's employees. Your resort to that tactics when you run out of arguments, that's understandable
Alina: "I've noticed that you often accuse Russians of being drunks and Kremlin's employees."
Are you denying the obvious facts ? Or do you live on some as yet undiscovered planet ?
You know, I live in Russia and have many Russian friends, as well as some non-Russian ones both in Moscow and outside of it. Somehow none of them consumes vodka and very few of them work for state organisations.
I live in real Russia, I don't know where you live. You are likely to be a resident of some other country, or we live in different countries called Russia
Supplied by USA and the Allies - you made it sound as if it were a very benevolent act. Please do get real! USSR had paid through the nose for every plane and every scrap of food that was received. True, USSR could afford it. However, the Allies in many respects took advantage of the USSR's need for support.
Widespread alcoholism has been a curse of the Russian society for generations. I am not saying its excusively Russian but your attempt to say that 'none of them consumes vodka' stretches your credibility very far.
As to your 'real Russia', well, good luck to you. Hope you will survive what is now widely known as 'Putin's Russia'.
You and Didomyk are either ignorant and brain-washed or try to create a negative and distorted image of Russians who only drink vodka and worship Putin. I believe its the latest. It's called hidden propaganda.
Yes, my friends don't drink strong drinks, you need to learn how to choose friends too.
"It's called hidden propaganda."
Indeed, it is. You have been openly practicing your pro-Moscow prapaganda for some time now. It has now become your second nature.
"distorted image of Russians who only drink vodka.."
Well, nobody (except you) said "ONLY drink vodka". Some drink water, others bier, still others imported Coke ! What makes you think you know what 140 million people in the Russian Federation drink ? Alcoholism is a widespread phenomenon in Russia, your personal opinion notwithstanding.
Being an obsessed Ukrainian nationalist is your second nature. Bender Nazi detected.
If my personal opinion is notwithstanding, than your personal opinion is even less worthy being taken into consideration since you don't even live in Russia.
You mean to say that "a top military advisor of several American presidents, among them Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and the current one" stated to YOU specifically his opinions ?
Incredible ! He must be by now a retired old man having served that many US presidents? Hmm, that's interesting ! So he came to Moscow to meet you ? Was he by any chance on part time assignment with CIA ? Was he trying to get some information form you ?
Your personal opinion notwithstanding, you have been obviously hired to keep spreading the KPB balooneys ! Do they pay you at least a subsistance wage ? Is there a chance the KPB may send you on a foreign assignment to get more opinions from (your own words) "top military advisor of several American presidents, among them Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and the current one" ?
To make everything clear.
I am a university student in Moscow. I don't work for the government - I am currently doing my internship in an international company.
That man is called Sherman Teichman. Yes, he has been a top military advisor as well as the Executive Director of the Institute for Global Leadership at Tufts University. And a formal Olympic saber fencer!
He often visits elite universities in different countries because he likes to speak to young educated people. This May he visited my university and one more in the Netherlands. No, he didn't come to specifically see ME.
In my university a small group of the best students (though from just a couple of departments) were selected for the meeting with him (about 20-30 of us I guess). I was honoured to be in that group.
We had a nice informal chat, and yes, he stated his opinion to me and other students on different global issues such as world hunger and terrorism. We also talked about the Cold War a lot and a bit about WWII. He said what I quoted above about "The USSR determining where the wind was blowing during WWII" and the number of casualties. At the end of the meeting he specifically praised me and one more student and shook our hands. That was a pleasure to me him.
I am not sure about that man's exact age. But he mentioned that he was in his early twenties and working on his PhD on nuclear arms when he got his job as an advisor on intercontinental missiles with Jimmy Carter who was at his last or last but one (don't remember) year of service. He held the same post with Ronald Reagan. He also mentioned that he has been an advisor on counterterrorism for Barak Obama. He didn't mention other presidents, but I quess he worked for some of them too.
Since he was in his early twenties during the latest years of Carter's rule, he must be about sixty now I think
It's you who is spreading propaganda balooneys here. I tell the truth how it is.
This story must be about your friends of the "Center for Cosmo-energetic..." Are you in this photo ?
I am really impressed by your story about this American PhD "expert" on nuclear arms and a former Olympian champion catching an eye of a young Moscow student and even going as far as, to quote your words, "At the end of the meeting he specifically praised me and one more student and shook our hands". Was that in front of all the other students and professors ?
Sounds to me like he was looking for something else besides shaking hands. Of course, this is your private matter.
First, whatever there is on that link it's the first time I hear about an organisation like that.
No, we didn't take photos which I regret now.
I didn't say that he was an Olympic champion. I said that he took part in the Olympics. I have no idea what prise he took and whether he took any at all.
As I said before, that meeting had informal atmosphere. There was only one more professor there (from my university) and a bunch of students - most from my university and several of those who are on exchange programme here from Stanford and Harvard.
Id you are so interested, I will specify that at exactly the moment when that person was shaking my hand the rest of the students were passing by (leaving the auditorium).
"He was looking for something else besides shaking hands". For what?? I am not exposed to any secret information as Didomyk believes. And if you are going to make some dirty comment, than it's disgusting.
I understand that you who are from rural area of Western Ukraine can't believe that anyone can meet and talk to successful people who are someone.
"Dirty comment" ? Come on, its natural for people to strike new relations with people they meet ! As to whether or not you are privy to some Russian 'secrets', you are the only one to know for sure. But your sudden interets in someone from the USA who apparently was knowledgeable about nuclear weapons cannot be dismissed, no matter how hard you try.
Your keen interest in identifying where I am from has now become a sign of your vulnerability. You can make whatever assumptions you like, maybe I am from Yakutia, or Tatarsatn, or Dagestan, or from Putin's South Ossetia,or from the Moscow-friendly TransDniestriyan republic. For all I know, your friends and associates at KPB (Kremlin Propaganda Bureau) would pay you a bonus to find out. And you would be more than happy to brag about it.
I believe that you are from Western Ukraine - all signs of a Ukrainian nationalist, but I don't care.
Some of your commets amuse me) And your suggestion that someone like me (21 years of age, and a girl) may have something to do with intelligence services is really complementary)
Let it be like that :))) I am a spy for KGB, CIA and MI6. I recruit new agents and I blackmail people in high places with the aim of gaining control over them and getting vital information out of them. I am currently on asignment to get information from you where you hide horilka - so that you can't use it as explosive Molotov cocktaile. I am also a supersniper, martial arts master and a computer hacker. Yes, I speak 20 languages and have several degrees in different fields. And everything else that matches the job's requirement. And no wonder that I am 21-year-old girl. Everything like in James Bond movies!
"I am a spy for KGB, CIA and MI6. "
Pretending to be an innocent 21-year old student, eh ?
Tell us the truth, - why didn't you use the correct designation of the present Russian intelligence services ? You know very well that the old Soviet era KGB has been re-structured and re-named.
First, I know that Didomyk and Yura2009 is one and the same person who created to accounts in order to provide support for himself and to sound more convincing.
Secondly, I didn't say FSB because foreigners still know that service as KGB (though FSB is involved in internal affairs, it's GRU that deals with the foreign ones). KGB and GRU in the USSR roughly matched FBI and CIA in the US.
That was you who said I was young. You didn't know at that time how right you were. Should I add you to my list of friends vkontakte or send you a copy of my pasport?) Never mind - who cares whether you trust me or not. Keep thinking that I work for intelligence service. Everything as above, Didomyk/Yura2009.
Finally you have revealed you are working for Russia's GRU. Don't bother sending me your GRU identity card. It is a false one anyway. So is your GRU-issued passport. And so is your silly story about the high ranking American expert-adviser of several US presidents. It was easy to smell a FSB-GRU 'rat' from the very start. You fell into a mouse-trap for the sake of a piece of stale cheese. Don't expect a promotion to a higher GRU rank.
muslim much?
more than a third of moscow population is muslim so of course they stay away from alcohol.
This is so enjoyable)))
1) It's your trick with using two names that is silly.
My story is true. It's up to you not to believe me (of course you don't - you never met anyone who is someone, and never will). It doesn't matter to me. What is important for me is that I told truth here (apart from joking about being a spy like you want me so much), and the God saw it.
2) I was kidding you about sending you a copy of my pasport. You don't have a sense of humour.
2) About me not getting a promotion with GRU. Good, I have never even expected to be employed in the first place.
3) A first, I thought you were some kind of a troll. Now I firmly believe that you are a mentally ill person.
First, you created two accounts with different names to provide support for yourself and to be more convincing. That's a sign of you being lonely and not being confident in yourself enough.
Also it's a sign of you having a personality disorder (alternating personality, to be precise)
4) You contradict yourself many times. According to your logic: It's me either being young and infantile or being an intelligence agent. It's me either me being a spy and meeting that military advisor and getting interested in his nuclear arms knowledge, or none of this. Choose your line. Oh, no, wait. You can't choose your line: you have alternating personality, that's the reason you contradict yourself.
I'll make it easy for you: I am 21, I met that person and I am not a spy. Believe it or not.
By the way, you are not really much older than me.
5) At first, I though you were kidding me about me being a spy. Now I think that maybe you really believe it. It's a bad sign: you have not only alternating personality, but also schisophrenical paranoia. My regrets - it's incurable. Stalin had it, too. He also thought that foreign agents surrounded him.
You should be careful: we GRU agents are watching you 24/7. We installed special microscopic spying equipment in your household, and we follow you wherever you go. Sometimes we are even under your bed and in your wardrobe.
6) You keep defying that you are a small, plain, uninportant person. It's one of the reasons why you take special pleasure in humiliating other people. You imagine that a real GRU agent would pay attention TO YOU! I'll disappoint you here: people like you are not of any interest to intelligence. A real agent would never type you a single answer and would not waste a single minute of his time on you, and deep inside you know it.
And you so badly need to be significant that you keep struggling to win this dispute though you know you lost it. A piece of advice: next time choose whom to challenge with your trolling.
7) Considering all your mental diseases, you'd better visit a psychiatrist, Didomyk-who-is-Yura2009.
Those Muslims in Moscow are from Central Asia.
No, I am not a Muslim. I am an Orthodax Christian. (I stated above that I am Russian and partially Ukrainian. These nation are prevailingly Orthodox Christians). My friends are all Christians and atheists. Muslims keep themselves to themselves, and Jews too.
I don't drink alcohol for health reasons, not for religious ones. My friends have the same reasons. Those are not exclusively Muslims who don't drink alcohol. Those are reasonable people.
People who avoid booze for health reasons are usually people who ruined their kidneys by drinking too much earlier in life.So no you are not disproving the universal conception of russians as heavy drinkers.
No, those are people who don't want to damage their health in the first place. My friends and I are in our early twenties - don't you think that it's a bit to early to have ruined kidneys? Or do you think that people start drinking at kindergarten?
For me, health reasons mean that I want to have children later in life, and I want to have healthy children. So I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, etc. For girls health reasons are usually like this. Boys do sports, and that is their health reasons.
"Universal conception" - sounds a bit too harsh. There are only laws of nature that are universal. Laws of physics, for instance. The rest is relative in this world.
According to you, people who don't smoke for health reeasons are those who used to smoke, and have ruined their lungs. And those who don't take drugs for health reasons are mostly former drug addicts.
No, it's just health-awareness.
"You imagine that a real GRU agent would pay attention TO YOU! I'll disappoint you here: people like you are not of any interest to intelligence."
Was that a consensus of the GRU agents meeting where you reported on your inability to crack foreign intelligence secret? Looks like your GRU 'boss' aka 'politruk' instructed you to make it known that I am of no interest to Russian intelligence. Old intelligence trick, but a useless one. How nice of you to let me know !
Your silly balooney stories have been well known as part of a stale Kremlin intelligence 'strategy', all being part of the intelligence 'textbook' written back in the 1920s by your Kremlin NKVD idol Dzerzhinski and gradually "improved" by his KGB successors like Yezhov, Yagoda, Beria and the rest of the Moscow gang. Given your incredible lack of basic intelligent abilities you have been preoccupied with 'inspiration' derived from the 'service' records of these gangsters. But whatever your ambitions, you case is hopeless, you will never reach higher GRU ranks.
The worlds monetary system is out of control, and the 'free exchange of capital' that the WTO pushes for results in sovereign nations losing control of their money supply. Newly created American money is being used to buy up everything that is profitable around the world. This was the reason for the 9/11 attacks on the WTO. Although the U.S.A. tried to make it look like an attack on the country (by shooting a missile into the pentagon and claiming flight 93 was headed for the Whitehouse) , it was a protest by the developing nations. If Russia is now on-board, the question is "has Russia now been beaten?" or "Is Russia simply going to repatriate its industries once American money has built them up?". Cuba repatriated land bought up by Americans, causing 50 years of sanctions (and counting).
Will you please clarify just exactly what all your 'outer space' fantasies about 9/11 attack have to do with the consequeces of Russia joining the WTO ? Its always interesting and sometimes entertaining to listen to economic 'experts'.
The World Trade Center (attacked on 9/11) was the headquarters of the World Trade Organisation, which Russia is now joining. I don't know why you say the correlation is [out of this world].
My comment was questioning the reason behind Russia agreeing to something which would enable the U.S.A. to acquire Russia's real wealth (as has happened to third world countries who were coerced into the WTO agreements). The article only talked about how Russian companies will have to become more productive, nothing was said about the upcoming flow of capital to and from Russia, and the resulting loss of Russian sovereignty.
Can we say that China has lost its sovereignty after joining the WTO?
"nothing was said about the upcoming flow of capital to and from Russia, and the resulting loss of Russian sovereignty."
Annual outflow of tens of $ billions out of Russia, which has been discussed in the media for years, is the direct result of Russia's corruption and the power of the oligarhs, most of them former ranking Comparty members. The outflow has nothing to do with WTO but everything to do with insecurity of keeping liquid assets in Russian banks or in Russian-based business. Oligarhs like Abramovich, Berezovsky and dozens of others have recognised the risks over a decade ago and keep moving their capital to London, Austria, France, Cyprus, the Bahamas and other places where disclosure rules are tight and taxation rules are nor subject to political manipulations. Unfortunately, your understanding of WTO, its rules and the issue of foreign investment in sovereign member countries is obviously indequate.
The WTO advocates for the free flow of goods and services, but also detrimentally wants the free flow of capital. Yes China has lost some control over its money supply as described in this report to congress: http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/row/RS22921.pdf (It's an easy read).
Didomyk, you said yourself the outflows of money from Russia have nothing to do with the WTO. I am saying that joining the WTO will cause huge IN-FLOWS of foreign money to Russia which in addition to causing local inflation, will be used to buy up the industries Russia naturally has an advantage in, and finally the 'bust' which will occur when this money is strategically withdrawn can be used to gain influence. Hence, a loss of Russian sovereignty.
Please save your insulting sarcasm for a larger venue when you have more people listening.

Perhaps you should watch your own words a bit more carefully. Rewriting the facts about 9/11 like that can be quite hurtful and insulting as well.
Yours is a rather strange theory on CAPITAL FLOWS:
"joining the WTO will cause huge IN-FLOWS of foreign money to Russia". Are all the WTO member countries 'suffering' from "huge INFLOWS" of capital ? Is that inflow of foreign capital detrimental to the wellbeing of all WTO countries ? Doesn't Russia have laws regulating foreign investment ? Isn't there a world-wide competition for that "huge in-flow" of capital you are so concerned about ? Don't you think foreign investors seek safety of their capital from nationalisation and unpredictable taxation regime ?
If someone was allowed to come into your country and start buying your nations real assets with foreign credit which they created themselves at the very moment and for the sole purpose of buying up your wealth, to extract, use and profit from your resources, would you benefit from this?
The inflow of foreign capital is detrimental to all WTO nations except one; The United States is a privileged country with the power to print the world's reserve currency at will. The U.S.A. is using that privilege to spend well beyond its means and the cost is covertly passed on to all other nations who accept and hold American dollars. Governments should protect their people and their sovereignty by disallowing free flow of capital across borders. They must maintain the supply of money within their economy.
I have no idea why anyone would be offended by having the reason for the events of 9/11 explained to them. I would have thought they would be thankful to learn it.
Through the WTO, the U.S.A. has been removing the protection third world countries need to develop their industries themselves. They have been expanding the reach of the American dollar, allowing the printing of far more money that the size of the American economy can reinforce. They have been selectively imposing trade sanctions on those who resist and coerce other nations to follow suit or face trade sanctions of their own.
Hitting the World Trade Organization headquarters couldn't have been a more obvious demonstration of what specifically they disliked about what the U.S.A. was doing. But Americans didn't make the association between the two World Trade Centre towers, and what the world trade organization was up to.
I'm assuming you never noticed that in 2000 Saddam Hussein declared Iraq would no longer sell its oil for American Dollars, but for Euros instead. Post hoc ergo propter hoc the invasion of Iraq and killing of Saddam Hussein.
Did you know Gadafi attempted to create an African wide single currency in 2008? Its one thing to attempt to remove such power from the U.S.A. but quite another if you're also an enemy of Israel. So he was attacked too.
How has the moon been these past 10 years?
What the heck, I might as well shout it out too. John F. Kennedy was assassinated by the Israeli secret police because he was trying to put a halt to the Israeli nuclear weapons program. Immediately after his death and ever since then American policy towards Israel has been of overwhelming support. Almost all American foreign aid goes either directly to Israel, or to bribe Egyptian officials to oppress their population (who can't stand the constant slaughter of Palestinians) hence the long coming 'Arab Spring'. Now Israel has over 300 nukes, and rumor has it, chemical and biological weapons the likes of which would bring you to tears. This and the fact that Jews run the American Federal Reserve result in the total theft of American sovereignty.
But hey, don't shoot the messenger.
oh crap... well, go on tell me. What have they done to the moon then?
Yeez, where is Strait Forward when you need him.
As mentioned, the issue with Russia is neither talent nor education. The issue is the propensity of those within the country to take the easiest road available which could be the main barrier to a truly developed economy. For instance, it is quite possible to "get things done" bureaucratically in Russia, but it usually takes a lot of time. Why wait for weeks or months to get some paper stamped when it can be stamped today for a couple of thousand rubles? As long as this attitude is so pervasive, the heavy lifting which can bring the country towards WTO-type reforms is a long ways off.
As mentioned before, by others, you have to start somewhere. Some fresh thinking from the cabinet would be good. With the former president back in power following a tearful (he had something in his eye you see) election result he is an unlikely candidate to shake things up.
Having attacked independent power bases, from the political parties, through civil rights movements and journalists to the oligarchs he will need his power base more than ever. The emperor has built his silent walled city. He won't see the hoarde coming over the wall when it eventually does.
As the son of immigrants of the former USSR, I would hear my father often complain that Russians cared for nothing other than money. And this was in the USSR, a supposed socialist wonderland. Hard to believe how "predatory" it must be today. In fact my mother's cousin's husband had a taxi service and lost it all once he started doing business overseas--with Russians--moving products. Sadly, corruption is probably not just an enforcement issue but also a cultural issue. Good luck regulating domestic business let alone international in Russia.
It was never the case with the Russians, let alone USSR. Your father must be from countries that were most influenced by capitalists, like the Baltics.
Corruption is always singled out as the most important obstacle to economic growth in Russia but corruption is not absent in the West. The different financial frauds and scandals causing and deepening the European crisis are there to remind us of this.
In most european countries you can appeal to the courts to sort things out. In Russia the courts have no meaningful function. The corruption is "legal" as long as the right people are involved. I have a good friend who runs a successful business in Russia with 6 employees. But when the company does too well he shuts down production and he and his staff takes an extra holiday in order to avoid getting too big and attracting the attention of the local mafia/"politicians". Many of his friends have lost their firms due to doing too well and a guy suddenly showing up to tell them their firm is not theirs any more. Russia has brilliant minds, a hard working well educated work force and entrepreneurial talents with high tolerance for risk. But it rarely leads anywhere because of the corrupt mafia-like system which the current leaders in Kreml are so dependent on. Lose Putin, clean out the siloviki, introduce real democracy and Russia will blossom.
But why is Putin failing to do so despite repeated promises to do so?
It´s like asking why the head of the Cosa Nostra doesn´t take a tougher stand against crime. The Putin/Siloviki/KGB-system is based on this weird system of control through patronage. All levels of bureaucrats, oligarchs and thugs gets their sizeable piece of the cake, in return Kreml gets guaranteed control when they want it. There will be no uprising from any powerbase in Russia (except the grassroot, as we have seen of late), because everyone with power are bought. The most dangerous men in Russia are non-corrupt businessmen or bureaucrats, because they might not be possible to control. They often lose their jobs or are demoted, are found dead in a field or just disappears.
You said "repeated promises", no it is a well known propaganda method used by all Kremlin rulers before Putin was born. Putin was trained within the framework of the Soviet system that relied on making promises of 'better life' for the masses on the 'road to socialism'. Putin's maffia simply re-edited propaganda slogans discarding socialism but keeping a 'vision' of 'paradise for the masses' alive and well. Meanwhile his friends and associates keep accumulating wealth, transfering it for safekeeping in foreign banks and real estate.
Sore losers always need an excuse for their failures.Its always someone elses fault.
In every article about the BRICs one sees that they lambaste one and extol the others turn by turn.
By the way, no derogatory talks about Mr. Putin?
Your comment is partially true and misleading.
They do this in the areas where each BRIC is weak contrasting them to their stronger bretheren. Tomorrow we may see an article about Brazil focusing on something they do badly which Russia does well. All of this is good journalism.
Well I guess both of us are partially right. I mean if they can do this job in a more modest way its great journalism I say.
While many and significant challenges remain, the success case of GAZ should not be over-looked. This was not a 'quick turn-around' of a new and internationally experienced business located in Moscow. This was a grass-roots turn-around of an 80-year old legacy of Soviet manufacturing, with over 100,000 employees, and several aging factories spread through-out Russia... no, none were in Moscow or St. Petersburg!
Key ingredients: Capital management, Operational efficiency, International collaboration, Sales & Marketing strategy, Customer service...and above all: Strong leadership and disciplined execution of those activities. Thankfully, GAZ has a better 'Bo' than China.
Russian manufacturing faces many near-term challenges, both known and unknown, including: Impact of WTO, Global economic climate, etc.
However, the success case above is proof that - despite significant challenges - a good plan, disciplined execution, and strong leadership can succeed anywhere.
The tragedy of Russia is that is has plenty of talented people who are capable of great things, but the environment in which they must exist is so backward and corrupt that systemic failure is inevitable. At best, one can hope to struggle on, hoping that tomorrow won't be much worse than today. Hardly the basis for a flourishing economy.
Putin, like so many CCCP leaders of the past, has no concept of economics and no interest in challenging the rotten system that enables him to cling on to power. Consequently all the grandiose plans and ambitions are like the dreams of children who imagine themselves slaying dragons while in reality are still unable to change their own underwear. I weep for the many talented Russians (and their counterparts in Ukraine) whose lives are stunted because of the world in which they are forced to remain. If governments in Australia, the EU, and the USA had any sense at all they would throw open their arms and welcome such people enthusiastically and the resulting wealth generation would be wonderful to see. As it is.... we have to sigh and acknowledge that humans just aren't evolved to do thinking.
This is a fabulous and accurate post. Kudos.
First of all russia is no tragic thing from dostoevskys novels.And secondly country is not a flag, history or boarders, a country is its people.Absolute majority of russian population is deeply disturbed and heavy users of all kinds of mind altering substances. The dismal quality of russian populace was acknowledged and is continued to be acknowledged by its elites."The misforfortune of russia are fools and roads" goes popular saying.
"Russia's planned industrial revival is the MC-21, an airliner that will take to the skies in 2015, hoping to challenge Boeing and Airbus. Already, Russia is seeking export orders for its smaller Superjet "
In a typically Soviet-Russian propaganda style Kremlin's bureaucratic-military establishment plans to "challenge" the world, not just Boeing and Airbus. A prototype of MC-21 may indeed fly by 2015 hopefully avoiding a disasterous repetition of the recent Sukhoi demonstration flight in Indonesia. But the road from a prototype to a serial production of hundreds of commercial planes is very long and rocky. Neither Boeing nor Airbus plan to fall asleep coming up with their new models supported by proven marketing and technical maintenace networks. At the same time other producers of smaller versions of passenger planes, like Canada's Bombardier, Japan's Mitsubishi Aircraft, as well as reliable and comfortable models made in Brazil, China and, in future, India will fill any gaps in the world-wide regional jets share of the market. While no one would deny Russian industry's competence in producing military planes and helicopters, competing in the world passenger jet market is a different story alltogether. Russian designers, encouraged by their military and political bosses, had managed in the past to produce hundreds of superb MIG fighters and practically give them away to Russia's allies and satellites in exchange for political support and, in some cases, military bases. That kind of "marketing" will not work in a competitive environment of civilian aviation.
actually russia's (and ukraines) civil aircraft historically have been very good. i dont know why they have poor reputations compared to western aircraft.
despite what this article says their safety record is just as good as western aircraft.
just look at the antonov an-70 which is almost one third the cost of an airbus a400 which has turned out to be a joke. it also has a larger payload.
Maybe they are as good, or even better, I don't really know.
But regarding to why, I think the difference is that the West, led by the US, has developed a very strong propaganda machinery. Previously the Communists and now Russia, still has a lot to learn about it. It is like a developed teenager trying to outsmart a mature man. At first it looks fair, but the man has way too many tricks up his sleeve to let anything happen. Personally, I hate flying and all the horrible airlines altogether.
No dispute that AN-70 is much cheaper than Airbus 400. And no dispute that there is a place in this world for the Antonovs, etc. I have no facts about their long term safety records. Do you ? So Russian aviation will continue sharing the market somewhere from Kazakhstan and Tajikistan to Angola and Ethiopia and to Cuba and Venezuela. Fair enough, but that's not what is called competition for the more popular airlines flying the busiest air routes. Just as Airbus and Bombardier and others are continuosly busy developing new models for specific market segments, improving fuel economy, passenger comfort and, of course, maintenance costs, the Russians will have to aim for the same target or better. Keep in mind that China and India, with their 1,300 million people each, are increasingly capable of building their own passenger aircraft. I don't think the Russians aim at undercutting cheap Chinese or Indian labour, or do they ?
You are right.
The time that Boeing and Airbus were competitors alone is over and they know it. Their strategy is in fact global - their airplanes are made of parts coming from all around the World - included China, Japan, etc.
Sure, Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, Mitsubishi etc. all source components from world-wide experiences suppliers who in turn ad their know-how to make the new models better and more economical. This is one of many shortcomings in Russia's commercial aviation. They are very reluctant to pursue international cooperative efforts except in unique cases, ie. space station.
