The Gulag of the Russian mind
It is now 15 years since the failed coup of August 1991 against Mikhail Gorbachev.

Pontius Boc
The womanly quarrel between the president and vice president of the ARIS (Romanian Agency for Foreign Investment), that is between Ana Maria Cristina and Gabriela Vasile, has intrigued all common sense politicians. The PM got enraged and dismissed the two haughty ladies at a time, pointing to "conduct unfit" for a high official position "within a Romanian state authority".

Romanian geriatry "grows old" too early
The elixir of youth is a Romanian invention. Gerovital, the wonder medicine, was a cornerstone in the fight against old age. A huge range of celebrities enjoyed the benefits of the medicine conceived by Romanian expert Ana Aslan. Although the population of Romania is obviously growing old, Romania is behind the times with treatments it offers. Although they know the miraculous effects of such programmes, foreigners avoid Romanian clinics, as they think...   (33 afisari)

Sahara in Romania
The village of Dabuleni is situated in the south of Dolj district and it is the only locality in Europe housing an officially acknowledged sand museum.
This bizarre institution stretches on 12 hectares and it is actually a desert. The village is surrounded by 3,500 hectares of sand, just like in Sahara. The locals say that when the wind blows the sand arises and nothing is visible any more. It is really miraculous that sand trade has flourished in the area...   (31 afisari)
