he was doing the stunts for Derek Zoolander and never turned left for months.

Edit: - Gold for a Zoolander quip? To quote Nick McKinless, Awesome. Now I'm off to watch his short film Faith again, as that too was Awesome.

By doing this AMA, you have helped remind people about the events and people that died on Utøya and that is a memorial in itself.

Thanks for doing this and take care.

It has been a long road for Pravda since it was established & financed by the Germans during World War 1 to create unrest in Russia.

Do you feel as though Pravda has lost a lot of its appeal to the younger generation of readers?

I know lots of Russian's love "unexplained & tabloid" style stories as entertainment, so is this how you are aiming to maintain a reader base?

Does it not then bring into question the truth of your legitimate stories?

Edit: okay, not established.

I worked in Kazakhstan with a diamond driller in 1999 that was sent to Chernobyl to drill into something highly radioactive.

They worked only for an hour or so at a time in decontamination suits; were scrubbed down heavily after work and they were told that they would most likely die, but that the Soviet Union would remember their sacrifice and look after their families well.

He also mentioned the crates of vodka given to them and that they were pretty much totally paralytic drunk the entire time.

Most of the guys he worked with died within 6-48 months.

Edit: For clarity, he was sent there a few months after the cock up. Not in '99.
