Disclaimer
Though this journal is dedicated to a totally fictional person who is not connected in any way to the real Amanda L. Sloat, PhD and all, the author has to confess that real Amanda is also beautiful and cool and clever and cultured and blah-blah and patriotic and God Bless America.
In spite of the real Amanda's point of view to politics as a major method of nations’ communication, the fictional one agrees with Fyodor Dostoevsky’s thought that "Beauty will save the world". Please forgive her this unpopular romanticism and her blue stockings which symbolize her nightly skywalks rather than gender solidarity.
The author also asks readers’ forgiveness for not being a native English speaker though some slight lovable accent adds to his writings a charming mixed aroma of iced Vodka, black caviar and a drunken Balalaika band.
