у этого Люка Хардинга явно проблемы

It’s not quite the cold war revisited. But over the past two weeks the world chess No 1, Norwegian Magnus Carlsen, has been doing battle against a Kremlin-backed Russian grandmaster who fervently supports Crimea’s annexation and the man who did it, Vladimir Putin.

два поста подряд, смыкаются Омском

"Не пытайтесь покинуть Омск" и тесно связанная "Омская птица"

"то что любой регион может сменить самостоятельно часовую зону/мог оставить старое время - миф. Иначе были бы дырки от бублика и прочие прелести. Например, Омску и Кёнигу никто не даст сменить зону, т.к. придётся переписать все статьи фз"

смотрите ка, гардиан осадил свою собачку Люка Хардинга

It is tempting to draw Karjakin as the villain of the piece – a Ukrainian who became a Russian citizen in 2009, is portrayed as “more Putin than Putin”, and who supported Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 despite having grown up there as a Ukrainian citizen. The Carlsen-Karjakin tussle recalls an age of ideological rivalry. It is tempting for the chess media to present the battle in New York as a clash between east and west in the grand tradition of the 1972 match between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer in Reykjavík. But for the most part the latter temptation has been resisted: in an age of global upheaval, the icy certainties of the cold war just can’t be recreated.

We should similarly give Karjakin, who is also 26 and was the world’s youngest ever grandmaster at the absurd age of 12, the benefit of the doubt. It is wrong to portray him as a Ukrainian turncoat. He is an ethnic Russian who chose to side with Moscow on both patriotic and pragmatic grounds – in Russia he could get more skilled coaches and attract more sponsors. We can question the wisdom of his close identification with Vladimir Putin, but it is as a chess player that we should judge him. In this match he has proved a redoubtable competitor and a benign, perpetually smiling presence in the postmortems after each game. It was Carlsen who, disgusted at his own performance, stormed out of a press conference after his shock defeat with white in game eight. Carlsen will probably retain his title, but Karjakin would not be an unworthy 17th world champion. After all, politics is only politics, but chess is chess.
