There is a whole story that leads to pictures like this. A story involving "Orientalism" and PT Barnum. Just the kind of diversion I relish.

Google: Circassian Beauty.

As the "purest" type of white person, Circassian women were said to be the most beautiful on earth, prized by Turkish sultans for their harems. Surprisingly proficient in English, and mysteriously deficient in her knowledge of "Circassia," Zalumma Agra was nonetheless a highly popular attraction at the American Museum.

Here is some interesting reading about the region around Sochi: http://www.ponarseurasia.org/sites/default/files/policy-memos-pdf/pepm_1...

Much obliged on the rich history lesson on Sochi and it's ethnic peoples.

With the familiar gathering of NGO "usual suspects", i.e. the Jamestown Foundation among so many others, we see the same familiar pattern of one-sided rhetoric bereft of historical facts with no moral conscience for the pathological and systematic genocide we have been perpetrating in every part of the globe for decades. Even though the U.S. no longer uses the mantra of "Manifest Destiny", it might as well as it never left.  Israel of course and it's systematic destruction of Palestine arguably created in our own image.

Putin has done a decent job of speaking truths to what the West has done in his neighborhood especially with the recent developments in the Ukraine, but he needs to go much further before the "usual suspects" become more emboldened as they grow more desperate with their actions by the hour.

As I said previously Peace in Sochi.  If anything happens we will certainly know who did it and there will be hell to pay in the dishing out of retribution.

Unfortunately, the entire history mafia seems to be dominated by the usual suspects. It is up to the critical reader to attempt to decipher the plain old facts.

The American Indian was the first thing that came to my mind. But you can look at the whole history of Anglo Saxon imperialism.

The Circassians are one of many examples.

I would say that that region around Sochi is much more interesting than what is presented in the Olympic narrative: Oh look at the cute tribal cotumes...

Implied without mentioning.  If nobody on this thread has ever seen this it's a must watch.

Not intended in any way to exclude there neighbor South...  I applaud the courage of this lone Canadian to bring the world the truth of what near perfect genocide actually looks like when most of us thought it had ended 100 years earlier.

Seriously Tyler! Could you pay a blog tech a few dollars to fix the z-index value of your sidebar so that William's pictures don't get lost behind them? The pictures need to go on the top layer. It's been that way for month's and months and you don't think it's worth a simple fix?

Here's a simple fix:

This isn't ZH's fault. If you have your browser zoom set too high that happens. Hit ctrl and the minus button.

Safari - minus to the max still chops some of WB's pics.

And may God grant them peace, prosperity and safety unfettered from Saudi/Israeli/British/U.S. Government "ghouls" who are doing everything in their power to manipulate ruin and yes "destroy" if possible given the sampling demonstrated in Volgograd on the level of treachery Bandar bin "Bush" spoke to months ago...

P.S.

The puppy laying on the gravel road eyeing the toy bear is captivating but also creepy.

That's a high-class purebred stray.  We should allow them all asylum in our country cause we don't have enough damn strays to feed yet.

Hey Boris I've always wondered what Russians think when they see the biathlon competitiion.   That's where men ski arouind and then shoot at targets.   Its sort of a reenactment of the way Finland pwned the Red Army's sorry Soviet ass in the winter war.

Bi-athlon is for gay men. Of course Russian is watch with disdain.
