Итак, инвентаризация на работе закончена; теперь можно, наконец, сесть и спокойно написать отчет о 10 июня - том самом воскресенье, когда наше общество проводило несколько запоздавшую "акцию", посвященную памяти жертв понтийского геноцида ( Read more... )

Pontian Greek is the heart of my heart, soul of my soul, and I am really grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to speak it even at my workplace. But sometimes I just do not realize that not every Greek is familiar with it ( Read more... )

I'd like to share with you, my friends, this beautiful Pontian song - I could say it is my motto, especially the first and the last strophes. Enjoy!

May God give rest to the souls of the dead ( Read more... )

And let us prevent such tragedies from happening again!

19 мая
День памяти понтийского геноцида

I saw it on http://www.pegas.gr and found it completely wonderful :)
A Pontian guy from Russia, Alexandros Soilemezidis, is satirizing Soviet realities. Don't ask for translation -- it is not possible, the poem will lose all its flavour!
