Podcasts about Ossetia

A tense altercation between President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ensued in the Oval Office today. The bottom line: The United States of America will not be extorted by a country whose leaders are more interested in what they can get out of the American people than peace. The point of the meeting? To sign a U.S.-Ukraine mineral deal. Trump is “very tired of subsidizing and paying for far-distant problems when we're running a $37 trillion national debt,” and this deal would not only offset those costs but also, by inviting “American business into Ukraine, to help rebuild it and to profit … [Russian President Vladimir] Putin will be less eager to attack you if he understands there's a thriving American concession there,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Donald Trump is incurring a lot of criticism lately on the Ukrainian war. He's trying to negotiate an end to the war. Remember, there's probably somewhere around 1.5 million dead, wounded, missing, and captured on both sides, together. That is the largest casualty rate figure total in Europe since the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942 and 1943. In his “Art of the Deal” style he came in and he said some things the last week that got people very angry. I'll just give you two examples. He said that Zelenskyy was a dictator and that he ‘should have stopped the war and never started it.' “That got people anguished because we know that Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on February 24th of 2022. So, why did Donald Trump say that? Of course, he doesn't believe that Zelenskyy started the war because he has campaigned himself on the following narrative: ‘Under George Bush, in 2008, Russia invaded Ossetia and Georgia. “‘In 2014, under the Obama administration, they invaded the Donbas and Crimea. On February 24th of 2022, under Joe Biden, they tried to take Kyiv. However, of the last four administrations, there was one in which they did not leave their borders to invade another nation—my administration. Why? Because unlike the prior three presidents, I was able to establish deterrence.'” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Completiamo le bandiere degli Stati, più o meno riconosciuti, appartenenti alla regione del Caucaso con un altro Stato non riconosciuto de iure appartenente alla Georgia ma de facto indipendente. La bandiera, simile al tricolore russo, in realtà presenta significati ben diversi! Buon ascolto!

Under pressure because of a joke from last year about ethnic Ossetians, stand-up comedienne Ariana Lolaeva has now apologized twice in tearful messages on social media. The apologies follow a video from a "Roast Battle" in 2020 that started spreading in North Ossetian online groups on October 9, 2021. In the footage, fellow comic Alexander Ni tells Lolaeva that she has "Ossetian pie between her thighs." As the news outlet Baza explains, this dish has specifical significance for Ossetians particularly because it's associated with the "rite of the three pies," which according to some versions symbolizes God, the Sun, and the Earth.

Finally, we have the opportunity to learn from someone who has been on both sides of protection. Yana kaytukova’s Story is remarkable and her experience is very valuable to any practitioner who wants to understand what it’s like to be on the other side of protection. When she was a little girl growing up in the Caucasus mountains in a small republic called Ossetia. Her father chose to keep her under the protection of a bodyguard as a result of some very traumatic events that unfolded at their home one evening. These events shaped Yana’s life in many ways because it was this relationship with her newfound friend and bodyguard that not only helped her feel safe as a child but also heavily contributed to her adult aspirations to join the protection game. From joining the resistance in her country and fighting in a war to winning multiple boxing and kickboxing championships in all over Ossetia and Russia to now being one of the industries young and upcoming talents. Yana brings a full spectrum of experiences that her clients and security detail counterparts all benefit from. Beyond all of this, she has a perspective on life and what we are doing here that is refreshing and will do most anyone some good to hear. She is a powerful, positive and highly perceptive young agent with the advantage of understanding what it feels like to be on the receiving end of what we do. I’m looking forward to seeing where her career will go. This interview has value on many different levels not only for security operatives but also for anyone trying to possibly understand themselves on even deeper levels. Enjoy

Andy Hrovat was a member of the 23008 Olympic Wrestling Team and after that spent a year living in Ossetia, a province in Russia, which along with Dagestan, is where the large majority of the world's best wrestlers live and train. Andy developed a unique philosophy on training and problem-solving while living in Ossetia and it's fascinating. Before the Olympics, Andy was a 3x All American for Michigan and multiple-time state champion in Ohio. For past episodes, please visit WrestlingChangedMyLife.Org.

On June 4, for the first time, Armenia abstained from voting on a UN resolution that reaffirms the rights of Georgians displaced from South Ossetia and Abkhazia to return to their homes. This decision by Armenia’s government has wide implications – it’s a gesture of friendship towards Georgia, but it also exposes the critical geopolitical realities, number one being the issue of Russia influencing not just Armenia’s vote at the UN but also Armenia’s place in the international community.

This week, Gap in Expertise plays Dungeons and Dragons! I know right?! It's about time. This is a long one so we've divided them into 4 parts. Below is the intro to our journey through Ossetia. Enjoy! 4:32: Intro to Ossetia (yes I pronounced it wrong in the intro) 8:32: Cresthaven Tavern 20:11: An Offer For Adventure 34:20: To Falshire! 53:50: Circling the Wagon Welcome to Ossetia.  This continent is divided both my dangerous terrain and political powers.  The Arathi foothills bisect the continent in the south while the Kel’nia marsh lands divide it to the north.  To the east lay the blasted lands of the infernal expanse overrun with all manner of beasts and terrors;  to the northeast lies the unclaimed wilds of the Valenwood Forest.  A haven for those who choose to live a more uncivilized lifestyle. Our story however begins in western Ossetia.  It is the year 828 PC post calamity.  This year marks the centennial of the final battle of the War of shadow.  100 long years ago War raged in the lands of the west.  A great host of orc, gnoll and demon spawn flooded forth from the infernal expanse, covering the lands of the west in a sea of carnage and destruction.  Under the direction of the great elven warrior Aldrith Othgard, the 5 nation states of the west forged an alliance to combat the unstoppable host.  This was known as the Othgard accord Lead by Othgard and his Legion of the Sun, the 5 nations turned the tide of the war and eventually pushed the evil host eastward back through the Jordash passes and finally crushing them in one final blow on the plains of the infernal expanse itself.  Ending the war and ensuring all that was good and holy remained in the west Following the end of the war, again at the direction of Othgard, a counsel of mages and wizards was formed.  Elected by the citizenry of the nations this group of learned men became known as the Counsel of the Moon.  Their first act ; to create the great floating city state of Skyhold the crown jewel of Western Ossetia Under the Accord the nations are generally left to their own devices.  All are encouraged to live and govern as they did before the war.  The Legion and Counsel take only a small tithe of what you produce and earn. In exchange, the counsel acts as mediators or judges, settling land disputes and trade agreements, as well as sentencing those who break the laws. The legion acts as the peacekeepers;  Enforcing the laws, patrolling the borders and ensuring the roads are safe for travel and open trade. The Accord has lead to a time of relative freedom and prosperity over the last century. However, tensions now brew between the nations.  Old rivalries and past bigotries forgotten during the war have taken root once again.  Rumors of military clashes at the borders of Ill’irion and Gervior as well as caravan raids as far west as Ju’Desh have many folk on edge.  Some say the Accord hangs by a thread and that civil war is inevitable. Our story however begins much smaller. Here in the central nation of Allendor beyond the entrance to the Gulgarg valley lies the village of Cresthaven.  Nestled on the banks of a small branch of the Dellwine River, this small fishing village has enjoyed relative peace and freedom from the politics of Skyhold.  To its east and south acres of rolling hills of farmland. To the North the spattering of trees and ferns marking the beginning of the Birchbloom forest. The moonrise road cuts the village in half, leading westward towards Morrowdale, Falshire and eventually Skyhold itself. It is late afternoon and the sun sits in the sky to the west .  Fishermen and farmers bustle about the small market in the center of the village gathering their unsold wares and heading to their homes mostly dotted around the outskirts of Cresthaven. From the east you see two figures appear on the horizon. One towering over the other. They slowly stroll through town towards the largest building in the market square.  Above the sturdy door of the building a small sign lazily swings in the wind. It’s a picture of a young man asleep on a riverbank, a fishing pole thrown haphazardly next to him. As the figures approach the wooden door of the establishment the sound of laugher and music can be heard from within.

Written by T.J. Lockwood Read by Steven Duenas An unexpected skirmish arises in Ossetia which leads to the creation of a warzone in a rural area. The days grow shorter, and as time goes on, survival becomes more and more uncertain.

Norman Lebrecht meets the conductor Valery Gergiev, head of the Kirov Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg, and Principal Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra and the World Orchestra for Peace. Gergiev also runs festivals in Russia, Holland, Israel and around the Baltic, and was recently charged with re-launching the historic Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow and St Petersburg. Undoubtedly one of the busiest musicians on the planet, Gergiev has been criticised for skimping on rehearsal and detail; he has also been accused of having too intimate a relationship with Russian power. In this extended and wide-ranging interview recorded at Gergiev's Festival in Mikkeli, Finland, Gergiev tells Norman about his childhood in Ossetia and his reaction to the death of his father when he was just 14; his own very special method of fund-raising; his controversial relationship with Vladimir Putin; and just what drives him to live life at his famously frenetic pace. Producer Emma Bloxham.
