Me. About.

New Media. Journalism. Politics. Kazakhstan. Globe.

All is what ‘Me. About.’ about :)

I’ve been having my blog “In.strange loneliness” in Russian on Livejournal.com for about 2 years. Until one day Livejournal.com was blocked in Kazakhstan.

Some say it is because ex-husband of the president’s daughter Dariga Nazarbayeva, offensive public figure most known for his ‘fight’ in Media with the President Nazarbayev, than for his ‘democratic’ beginnings and Kazakhstan to Austria Ambassador career work, has started his blog on Livejournal.com. And the reaction is that the monopolist connection provider Kazakhtelecom has blocked the site for Kazakhstan (and it has also a side-effect for Kyrgyzstan where most of Internet providers use networks and cables owned by Kazakhtelecom). Kazakhtelecom, of course, denies, where ex-SUP (the company that owns Livejournal.ru) and so-called ’social media evangelist’ Anton Nosik blames Kazakhstani authorities for blocking and denying the fact of blockage.  Actually, you can read the whole interesting interview with him on Kloop.kg (Kyrgyz media portal).

So, it is time to say I seem to start a new blog which is here :) In English. And what I have written before, unfortunately in Russian, is left there.

The blog will be mostly about New Media (in Kazakhstan, Central Asia, world, everywhere if I am interested). Also here you can find my recently published pieces of journalistic art :) together with photos done by me out of different situations. What else?! Thoughts, of course. A lot of thoughts!

And you know, THOUGHTS is what all blogs are about! That is why every blog is unique. Because it is about thoughts that came to our minds, that divide us between us, unite and make think about new THOUGHTS!

That is THOUGHTS CIRCULATION IN NATURE. Even though the nature is virtual! :)

  3. Lena, I see you know more about this blog network, so maybe you know how to connect the blog from blogspot with yours (if it’s possible). And why have you chosen this site for the new blog?

    By the way, just wanted to add that your English is very good as I know you’ve learned it by yourself (mean, without any courses) :)

  6. To Katerina:

    what do you mean by saying ‘connect blogs’? If you mean how I can visit yours, you can just put your link while answering to my blog in comment section – website.

    or you can simply Google for it. there should be programms… I an new to this service as you, so I might not be aware of many things.. Just about blogs and blog-tendencies overall :)

    what about my English, I graduated from the language school where I have learn English and German, but it was long time ago. As well I studied and worked abroad for 2 years in English… but… what helps a lot, is listening to English songs and reading lyrics :) Trust me!

    Nice to see you here!
