Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili told CNN: “Russia is fighting a war with us in our own territory.”

INTERFAX.RU, 08 Aug
As a result of military operations in South Ossetia more than 1400 persons are dead
“Rescue us!”
People leaving South Ossetia tell about horrors of bombardment, and those who remain in town Tskhinvali, send SOS messages. Flow of Tskhinvali refugees, that begun several days ago, has reached now its apogee. As correspondent of agency informs, the considerable quantity of refugees gathered now on the Georgian-Russian frontier. Many women and children cry. “We had never seen such fire and never heard such a roar”, - said one of the women.” All this is terrible. The Georgian military men, opening fire on our villages, do not think that they fire on ordinary defenseless people including children and women.

Occasional walks in green area of Schmelz proved to be useful, because there I observed sheets of papers fixed to the lampposts. It was announcement of upcoming meeting with FPÖ leader H.Strache, and no additional info was available on Internet.
Around nine o’clock today Strache appeared in the gateway of Schutzhaus restaurant.
The private gathering, presented mostly by retired persons greeted him admirably.

Strache is extremely good-looking blue-eyed man with trim figure.
Once when I photographed him in Graz two years ago, something in his posture reminded me of Mussolini, how Duce was depicted by old film chronics.
Perhaps, sex with such a person could be enjoyable performance.
I heard Strache promised he would occupy Vienna mayor post after new elections in 2010.
I wanted to understand what makes Strache rather popular among Austrians.
May be popularity is something one can not control, but only constant years-long work gives chance to this miracle to happen.
As anybody else collecting political information, I come across constant reports about activities of Strache. One can sense his vibes.
What can be hardly said about others.
For example, when I lived in Graz I had impression that all Austria was dark red. Red as tomato.
Nowadays I hear nothing of persons who shared their incomes with poor to get chairs and corresponding salaries in Landtag.

Press conference with J. Haider and P. Westenthaler, 17.07.08

Jörg Haider

Today I visited press conference with Joerg Haider and Peter Westenthaler in BZOe quarters. For a long time already, I wished I could photograph Joerg Haider. His speech was rather short though. As I was not satisfied with regular shots I made, which looked rather boring, similar to millions of other press snaps, I prefer to transform them including tiny part of my personality in every picture.

Pressekonferenz mit BZÖ-Chef Klubobmann Peter Westenthaler
und Landeshauptmann Jörg Haider. Thema: “Aktuelles zur Nationalratswahl”

Несколько трансформированных снимков, сделаных мной сегодня во время пресс-конференции с Йоргом Хайдером и Петером Вестенталером в штаб-квартире BZOe
в Вене на улице Доротеергассе – на подходе. Йорг Хайдер – очень колоритная фигура, один из немногих австрийских политиков, о ком вы наверно что-нибудь слышали.
