Hi, I hope this is not a silly question. Are you the same "NOVOSTI" you produced excellent pamphlets during Soviet times, then known as "Novosti Press Agency Publishing House"? If so, I am very happy to say thank you for your work in Marxist-leninist education, which was much valued by many in the West, and which showed humanity a better way than Capitalism. Although the USSR is gone, a new generation is discovering that alternative to Imperialist Global Capitalism which your forebears aspired to.

Two keys in Kazakh hands-20/ 09/ 2007 MOSCOW. (RIA Novosti political commentator Dmitry Kosyrev) SAID: It is harder to predict whether he (President  Nazarbayev) will comment on EU and U.S. threats of sanctions or even war against Iran, or danger of Tehran going nuclear, in which case Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel will follow suit-countries next to Kazakhstan's south-western borders. WITH all due respect Mr.Kosyrev, US National Security Archives (202.994.7000) on April 28, 2006, published newly declassified documents, proving Israel already had nuclear device by 1967, product of Israelis SECRET NUCLEAR CLANDESTINE PROGRAM. Not until 1968–1969 US officials concluded Israeli bomb was about to become physical-political reality.  Israel, only nuclear country in Middle East, refuses to come clean and sign NPT!
