A Tramp Abroad An English gentleman who had been living there several years, said,—
"If you could disguise your nationality, you would not find any insolence here. These shop-keepers detest the English and despise the Americans; they are rude to both, more especially to ladies of your nationality and mine. If these go shopping without a gentleman or a man servant, they are tolerably sure to be subjected to petty insolences,—insolences of manner and tone, rather than word, though words that are hard to bear are not always wanting. I know of an instance where a shop-keeper tossed a coin back to an American lady with the remark, snappishly uttered, 'We don't take French money here.'—And I know of a case where an English lady said to one of these shop-keepers, 'Don't you think you ask too much for this article?' and he replied with the question, 'Do you think you are obliged to buy it?' However, these people are not impolite to Russians or Germans. And as to rank, they worship that, for they have long been used to generals and nobles. If you wish to see to what abysses servility can descend, present yourself before a Baden-Baden shop-keeper in the character of a Russian prince." Current Mood:  sleepy | | 12:08p |
Ukrainian journalist forced to flee following threats from far-right An independent journalist writing about alleged links between Facebook, a local fact-checking organisation, and far-right groups has been forced to flee Kiev after receiving death threats.
Ekaterina Sergatskova, 32, a Russian-born, Ukrainian nationalised citizen, is editor of the well-regarded Zaborona publication, which focuses on matters often ignored by Ukrainian media, including nationalism and the far right.
...
Ms Sergatskova told The Independent she has reported the threats to police, but does not expect real protection.
“We don’t feel safe and the bureaucrats are silent,” she said. “How can you feel secure knowing just how closely the far right are connected to the police and security services?”https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/07/14/ukraine-independent-journalist-threatenedНачалась вся движуха после вот этой статьи в «Забороне»: https://zaborona.com/ru/stopfake-i-faktcheking-v-facebook/( Тем временем исследователи и борцы с неонацизмом нистерпевают ) Current Mood:  amusedCurrent Music: КОМУ ВНИЗ Live !FESTrepublic, Львів, 2018.03.09 [Full Official Version] | | 2:57p |

A Look at the Refugee Crisis Five Years Later "We at the regulatory authority have a slightly different view of certain problems," she says. "When a Sikh man shows up in your office, sits down on the floor and says he's not going anywhere until he is allowed to cook in the hostel" – which isn't allowed due to fire regulations – "then friendliness doesn't get you very far. You have to pull out your English and affably throw him out. But you can never forget that you are dealing with a human being."

Behret can provide a precise description of the asylum seekers in Hassloch using just a few sentences. She says they have "the entire spectrum" in the town, from a mathematics professor from Syria to others who can't even write their own names. "The typical cases come by once a month to pick up their checks. For some of them, it's enough. Others start working at McDonald's at some point, or deliver packages for Amazon."

She tells the story of the man who died, yet couldn't be buried because he had no birth certificate. "And if you haven't been born, you can't die." In this room, focused on the administration of people, where everything is perfectly arranged, it is clear that she derives a certain amount of pleasure from such moments of turmoil.
