Affluent Russians Buying Up Queensland
By Turi Condon
April 14, 2008 04:23am
Russians have become the biggest buyers of residential property on the Gold Coast and the third-biggest buyers in Queensland as their new wealth from oil and mining pushes offshore.
Buyers from the Russian Federation spent $35 million on Gold Coast apartments and houses in 2006-07, or 9 per cent of all foreign investment in Queensland residential property for the year, according to research by real estate agent DTZ.
Overall, offshore buyers ploughed $558 million into Queensland's residential market in 2006-07, an increase of 20 per cent on the previous year, but still a small proportion of the state's residential sales, according to DTZ director of project marketing, Paul Barratt.
Foreign investment in Queensland's residential market has grown 26 per cent a year since 2003 when it was $276 million.
But offshore investment has fallen, with 2003 down on the previous year's $308 million tally. The growth in foreign investment is likely to be checked by the credit crisis, Mr Barratt said.
"More than 1500 Queensland residential property contracts were settled by offshore entities last financial year, not including unconditional contracts in projects currently being sold off the plan or under construction," he said.
"While these figures bode well for continued growth, the impacts of the global credit crunch aren't to be underestimated."
Buyers from Britain dominated Queensland residential sales to offshore investors in 2006-07, spending $112 million or 27 per cent of foreign investment in the state, followed by New Zealanders with $93.6 million or 22 per cent, with Russians coming in third.
Brisbane attracted New Zealanders, while the British were the biggest buyers on the Sunshine Coast; buyers from the South Pacific (New Caledonia) were second to Russian buyers on the Gold Coast.
Russians have also been big spenders with an average investment of $550,000 each compared to Britons and New Zealanders, who each spent $220,000.
A high proportion of the new wealth in Russia has gone into buying boats, helicopters and the like, Mr Barratt noted. It's not surprising that it will also go into the property market, he said.
"Russians have been spending a lot of money everywhere."
On the Gold Coast, Russian buyers have headed to the upmarket enclave of Sovereign Island and have also bought penthouses at Stockland Group's Allisee apartment project on the coast, Mr Barratt said.
While British and New Zealand buyers were the biggest foreign buyers in Queensland, nationals from China, India and the Middle East are expected to push up the rankings in coming years, according to DTZ research analyst Sacha Reid.
Dear friend, rather rich people is no more 3-5 % which are at natural resources, and the others of 95 % in the Russian Federation suck the bear paw.

Translation of 2 parts.
During offensive operations from Oder up to Berlin has shown courage. Safely and resolutely operated at break of defense of the opponent on the western coast of the river Oder, and as in fights for suburb of Berlin, city of Vil'gel'mshtadt. Being all time in fighting orders of a battalion provided interaction with shooting divisions. In fights for city of Vil'gel'mshtadt in the period from April, 29 till May, 2, 1945, division of a battalion, operating, in assault groups, fire of demolition flame throwers have destroyed up to 60 German soldier and officers, gun - machine gun fire have destroyed up to 160 Germans (are available in view of German soldiers) and as have taken prisoner ?76 soldier and officers of the opponent.

It is shoulder-straps of Petty Officer (погоны старшины). The rank the "Petty Officer", stands between ranks the "Senior Sergeant" and the "Second Lieutenant" in Soviet Army.

It could be DZOT "derevo-zemlyanaya ognevaya tochka", trench with reinforcements made of wood(?). In Swedish they have added shrapnel protection to the translation. Maybe it lost something in translation but I hope I'm close.

All is correct.
I would translate to English?language as "Tree - earthen gun emplacement". 0 -
And the given document, the commander 20th Independent Flamethrower Battalion was given the honorifics " Mozir'sky, Order of Kutuzov, Order of Aleksander Nevsky " Major Zaharov already after the ending of Great Domestic War in June, 1945 has signed.

Now THAT is for (cumulatively) the battle for Berlin-- so there is ANOTHER Medal he was entitled to, but doesn't show on his records!
The upper part repeats his personal information. Adds theat he was called up from Talaevsky RVK in Sumskaya Oblast,and that his next of kin was his father Petr Vakulovich Dovbenko back in the home village.
The 20th Independent Flamethrower Battalion was given the honorifics "Mozyr'sky, Order of Kutuzov, Order of Aleksandr Nevsky" -- amazing that they were not considered GUARDS!!!!
The actual citation is for accomplishing combat objectives in crossing to the west bank of the Oder on the night of 15-16 April 1945. In the subsequent fighting for Berlin, the battalion supported the infantry, destroying by flamethrower 60 German soldiers, 22 houses, 1 armored personnel carrier and one enemy "DZST" (whatever that is the abbreviation for). Besides which, by machine gun fire, the battalion destroyed about 170 German soldiers and captured 468 officers and men.
I shall correct. Talalaevsky RVK.
