This ‘gilets jaunes’ phenomenon is definitely not a color revolution. It’s (for now) still mainly grass roots. OTOH, according to several sources the so-called ‘casseurs’ have been infiltrated by people from (or payed by) the French government, which is standard procedure à la Gladio.
At that time my father was a crewmember on his uncles fishing boat, and when the fish weren’t biting they would sail to Russia or thereabouts and pick up some Russian refugees and then take them south. Being a Scot though they didn’t do it for charity, but I guess that’s why I didn’t see Yully playing at being a white Russian General.
Our Russian for all seasons also played Dmitri Karamazov and some other Russian characters.
I often thought that Brynner and Nureyev might have been separated at birth.
Intéressant… peut-être une énigme pour les générations futures : la tombe du soldat inconnu, tant vénérée par d’innombrables notables, aurait alors allumé la flamme d’une réincarnation actuelle de cet inconnu… par une identité enfin révélée et presque omniprésente. Ce symbole russe et libérateur… que personne ne soupçonnait au cœur même de la capitale.
Translation-
Triumph is not covered by a giant flag printed on his face?
Interesting … perhaps an enigma for future generations: the tomb of the unknown soldier, so venerated by innumerable notables, would then have lit the flame of a present reincarnation of this unknown … by an identity finally revealed and almost omnipresent. This Russian and liberating symbol … that nobody suspected in the very heart of the capital.
Thanks to moderators for this most accurate translation, definitely much required. Nussiminen somehow prompted some innermost French mother tongue of mine in the spirit of his eloquent suggestion… (apologies, perhaps… felt a tad lazy to translate it myself when trying to punch so many letters on this… mobile phone)
Très probable!
Весьма вероятно!
But why wasn’t he mounted on his usual brown bear?
@Tom Welsh…
Because he wants to remain as inconspicuous as possible, that’s why!
When Macron said Euro army, USaid heard color revolution.
Anywhere can be Libya.

Ha ha ha. Love it.
But . . . .isn’t that Yul Brynner?

No, no, no! The last time I saw Yul Brynner he was behind a machine gun fighting off the invading Germans near the Volga.
No, No, No! Last seen as the Russian White General Bounine who helped convince the world that Ingrid Bergman was indeed Anastasia . . .

Oops! I missed that one.

Mais comment se fait-il que l’Arc de Triomphe ne soit pas couvert par un drapeau géant imprimé de son visage?
