The Peacemaker

Russian Federation

(Used the translator)   About the Second World War. It is truth that the USSR has helped fascists. The democratic countries incited Hitler in the war against the USSR because socialism existence was unprofitable for the democratic countries. When have started to bomb the USSR, to Germany, the Soviet trains with deliveries still have gone. Stalin has bribed Hitler. And he managed to delay war for some months. The USSR had time to be prepared for war.   About the second front. What for to Americans are wars with Germany, if they had problems with Japan? America has opened the second front, and the USSR has helped them with Japan, at the same time has revenged Japanese for war in 1904(The history textbook Russia 9 classes)   About Vodka. The national Russian drink (as the American Cola) it is not so badly, simply someone drinks more, and someone is less   About АК-47. Yes, I know that it now simply rusty part of iron, but on armies of Russia during long time the new weapon, and AK-47 no so badly: Manufacturing of clones АК is developed in Asia, Africa, in the Near East and on Europe. Approximate enough calculations all in the world exist from 70 to 105 million copies of various versions of AK. They are accepted on the weapon in armies of 55 countries of the world. Kalashnikov is presented on the arms and flags of six countries (Wikipedia) Whether there can be bad things so popular?   Ah yes, there is an opinion, that Russian never laughsAddress to me, I know many cheerful stories, but not all will understand thin Russian humour

So i read some posts also has understood that here have dissolved totally ludicrous. Vodka it is bad from her defective children are born because alcohol from a uterus isn’t deduced never! And that that you saw on TV and in films (our Russian films if you them looked) headless and brainless people which drink this muck. Only advertizing of vodka for usual people. Certainly not from good life it does especially the majority drinking was per 1990-2000. And who thinks that Boris Eltzin wasn’t the alcoholic (has died of progressing of cardiovascular insufficiency AS THINK THAN DISEASE is caused?)


As to the Soviet mode which so hate till now: in my opinion he is better and remained, something that now occurs. Can be Putin somehow has extended the country from an ass but the perineum is still visible. Never come to Moscow it all will be already fast a separate part of the country in which well live all at whom money there has sufficed to move. And statistical average Russian to your measures earns 200 dollars a MONTH (and now we will pay for apartment we will buy something to eat also something from clothes. As a result suffices only on vodka and cigarets(But suddenly it is necessary to descend with the girl at cinema and you instantly turn from those support to the loader of the manager of the cleaner of all water drain of a city eventually to reduce her at cinema)) and that that someone writes that Russian happen in Turkey me GRIEVES, because that abroad there are only people from Moscow and to usual people one quarter on all damned life suffices us.


You here beautifully discuss military power, a policy, modes, corruption – how many pathos. Instead of tried to discuss life of usual people? Not those to which you are resulted by tourist agencies and not those which you see in other countries and that which work to guzzle and live. Though I not be brought well up I for a long time it was hung up. Have a nice day© Dude Postal. Sorry for my english

Sorry, but statistically average Russian earn 500 dollars a month, but it doesn’t matter in this case. Problems exist in every country. Problems were , are and will be with every regime and government. Politics is a dirty power game. Politicians play with folks like with pawns, like with puppets. They embroil nations with each other. It is a benefit  for power sometimes. wars are profitable for them…

There is too much to say and somehow I wonder if it worth.


Russia is a vast territory, the Earth, in general, has great landscapes.


But the Russians… well, I really wonder if Russians love their children too. Again, what they did to countries of the Eastern Europe is inexcusable. Even now, after so many years of supposed peace, they refuse to retreat the 14th Army from Transnistria. Lyrics of a Moldavian band: “you don’t speak our language, but you eat our bread”.


I like Maxim Gorky, however.

Gorgon,


Can you imagine, but Russians love their children too.


Have you seen my post above? It’s all politicians, NOT Russian nation, NOT folks do these awful things.

And it’s a matter of facts that you and me and all people in the world draw their own conclusions watching TV and listening to other Media..


But on the fact we can’t know real situations , we take it for granted all those shit that they tell us.

Romanians also use to complain about their politicians… saying they are thieves and liars, but actually those politicians didn’t come from the outer space, not even from other country.

ahaha… sorry Naturesign, but you made me laugh a bit.


Whiskey is a British national drink, not Russian.


Most of Russians hate Stalin, don’t like Putin


Communism is in past times


Girls in Russia are not long, actually girls are different here from short to tall like everywhere and not every girl drinks alchohol


Hahaha!!! Do you really think that boys here The boys are tiny have round heads and are in general shy. ??? 




Well, my advice to you -Don’t watch TV so much! 


As for the climat of Russia, our country has a huge territotry with cold in North and warm weather in South.


I live near the Black sea. Do you know where is it? We have a climat here almost equal to the Mediterraneian climat.

I have noticed that people usually see in Russia what they want to see. Those, who still consider Russia as their enemy, speak only about Stalin, communism, propaganda, Chechnya, vodka and other things. Once I tried to find out how much some European people who blamed me for all those things really knew about Stalin, communism and Chechnya. It turned out they knew nothing. And, on the contrary, people who want to be our friends are genuinely in love with Russian culture, literature, music, language and Russian people as well.


Naturesign, would you like it if people say that for them the Netherlands is the country of free sexual-relations, homosexual marriages, legalized narcotic drugs and prostitution? By the way, it’s the general opinion (not my personal one).
