What you know about Russia?

Apparently Russia intends to destroy the International Space Station. That's not very nice.

 

Make sure that Russia doesnt stamp on the American toes one day!

 

I dont know. You may have competition on other part of europe

 

Привет комрад!

 

What do i know about Russia? It's cold.

 

Russia Is Controlled By The Zionists Like Great Britian

 

Is it? I never knew!

 

Well the same bankers investing in capitalism in the west also invested in a slave labor communism headed by bolshevism (jewish zionist leaders).

 

LoL, what crap! Stop being envious of Jews, and go get a job

 

why are you so worried about my comments? Does it pertain anything about you? APPARENTLY YES. BECAUSE YOU HAD TO RESPOND TO MY COMMENTS DUE TO YOUR INSECURITY OTHERWISE YOU WOULD NEVER RESPOND AT ALL.... and Holland was a slave trading country during the colonial era headed By Moshias Captaining every slave boat from africa to the americas....

Are you really proud where you come from ? Apparently Not Mr Joran Van Der Snoot....

 

(How do you do, FROM THE USSR?)


In my opinion, the answer to your question is both "yes" and "no."
No human being has ever been born stupid. Yet, since American society or, perhaps more precisely, American capitalist culture is largely driven by mindless entertainment while its nominal system of education is driven by the narrow self-interests of the American capitalist class, most Americans are in fact, "y the end of their lives," essentially uneducated and all but wholly oblivious to the world in which they live. For example:
In 1982, the now defunct Omni (magazine) published the results of a survey in which two-thousand American adults were asked to identify two untitled photographs: one of "ET" (a fictional character portrayed within a then popular motion picture); the other of the then Vice President of the United States - George H.W. Bush. The outcome of the survey showed that ninety-seven percent of those surveyed were able to readily identify a photograph of "ET," but that a mere thirty-one percent were able to identify a photograph of the then Vice President of the United States.
Omni's survey was, of course, but a single indicator of the average American's level of sophistication; one that I do not find as having been all-inclusive. Nonetheless, I do find it to have been a fairly accurate sociopolitical barometer having to do with a society whose citizenry has, in my opinion, been conditioned to place competition, celebrity and materialism well ahead of cooperation, personal growth and humanitarianism. For, to me, American culture is little if anything more than a wholly hollow and thus meaningless "bread and circus" complete with inexcusably high levels of poverty, crime, bigotry, illiteracy and general ignorance; all of which have been born of capitalist rule.

With that having been said, FROM THE USSR, as an "American" Marxist, I would like to ask: Is it your opinion that the USSR was, at any given point, a socialist society? Judging by your moniker, it is my feeling that you do believe it to have a socialist society, but I cannot be certain of it short of your answering my question for which I would be very grateful.
Please allow me to thank you in advance.


Yours.

The USSR was certainly socialist ,not "state capitalist" as it is trendy to assert between Western leftists,and I could write in more detail to prove it if Eddie Haskell had not been banned.

Drunk people in the streets and the amount of consumpted alkohol is not the same.

 

@ palmu


I know my neighbour country I know that Russia has great culture.
___

RF is not the former Russia that used to have a great culture, and Finnland was just a province of this former great Russia.

 

Can you see anybody here, who is interested in kolbasnik opinion?

 

Only Russians I know are from Work which work on dutch ships, high standard of knowledge and experience in general.

Just strange most of them I encounter are either named Alexandr, Yurii and Andrey / Andreii.....

 

The most popular names in Russia. Top 5 according to the data on newborns of 2009.
Boys
1. Alexander 6,1 %
2. Maxim 4,7 %
3-4. Ivan and Nikita 4,6 %
5. Dmitry 4,1 %
Girls
1. Anastasia 7,8 %
2. Maria 6,8 %
3. Anna 5,5 %
4. Darya 5 %
5. Ekaterina 4,7 %

Though the fashion for names changes from time to time. At 60s the most popular names were Alexander, Andrey, Oleg, Igor. Girls - Svetlana, Nadezhda, Elena, Natalia.

 

слава товарищ кропоткин

still learning sorry for any spelling mistake

 

On the pasport its usually Alexandr and Andreii is the English translation not in line with the Russian text?

 

It is Ukrainians and not Russians who are notorious for coming up with weird variations of beautiful Slavic names... so, if the person is named Alexander in his passport, he's most likely Russian; Olexander, Oleksandr, Aleksandr will definitely be Ukrainians. Victoria's from Russia; Viktorija, Victoriyia, Victoriyja would be Ukrainian girls

 

I know that back in the days of the USSR it bloody rocked

This are Christian names of Greek and latin origin. They have analogues in other European languages and sound equally in Ukrainian and Russian languages. All these different interpretations just a result of distortions while translating. Translator always tries to adapt a foreign name and a word under his own language. For example: Russian language has no sound which is displayed in English language by the letter W. And English name William cannot be written correctly in Russian. Translator uses sounds similar to W. So the name William can be written in Cyrillic by two ways : Вильям or Уильям. Though this is the same name.

 

Russia is certainly an interesting place to visit. I've been to Moscow and St. Petersburg (yes, visited Hermitage). My visit was 10 years ago so things may have changed. At the time, it was a place that was maybe 50% controlled by the Russian Mafia. People sometimes called the Mafia instead of the police when there was a crime. Many seemed to have positive things to say about the Mafia.

The older generation was proud of Communism, Lenin, and Stalin. The younger generation thought all of that was garbage and in their mind, the 50 years of Communism was blocked out from history.

It seemed like women were holding things together and were more often willing to work hard. Too many men were just alcoholics often with no jobs and living off the women. It was extremely common for the women to be desperately seeking a way out of the country.

In terms of religion, I think most considered themselves to be Christian although there were places like Kazan which were Muslim strongholds. I didn't see any Christians who were not Russian Orthodox. There were certainly many, many beautiful Russian Orthodox churches in a state of disrepair. As to whether the Russian Orthodox church is Christian, I'm not sure, seems like nobody ever heard of Jesus although they believed in God.

 

Is what I said.

 

You sound like AN IGNORANT UNEDUCATED INDIVIDUAL FROM YOUR LAST SENTENCE...

I will explain why?

You said " There were certainly many, many beautiful Russian Orthodox churches in a state of disrepair."

Okay ...

Then You write on your last sentence : "As to whether the Russian Orthodox church is Christian, I'm not sure, seems like nobody ever heard of Jesus although they believed in God."


YOU SOUND LIKE YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD WHO KNOWS JESUS CHRIST AND YOU HAVE THIS WISDOM OR KNOWLEDGE OVER ANYBODY ELSE MAKING YOU SOUND LIKE A CEREBRAL NARCISSIST...


LOL AHAHA..THIS JUST SHOWS THE AMERICAN WORLDVIEW where NOBODY CAN NAME PARIS ON THE MAP ....

NOBODY KNOW WHERE IS AUSTRALIA? NOBODY CAN NAME THE OFFICIAL RELIGION OF A COUNTRY AND ITS CULTURAL HISTORY TO GO ALONG WITH IT????


WELL I WILL TELL YOU IN THE US EVERYONE HAS HEARD OF JESUS CHRIST BUT STILL THERE IS RACISM IN THE TRAILER PARKS- THERE ARE BIKER GANGS SELLING DOPE... THERE ARE ETHNIC VIOLENCE WITH BLACKS AND WHITES... LOL AHAHAAH THERE IS A DRUG EPIDEMIC IN THE US WHERE EVERYONE NEEDS TO BUY THEIR COCAINE OR DOPE FROM THE SOUTH AMERICAN CARTEL WHICH IS RAKING IN THE MILLIONS..
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO ME ?

IF EVERYONE IN THE US KNEW JESUS CHRIST . WHY IS EVERYONE BUYING DOPE? LIKE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD??????


I am not russian but I am of southeastern european stock and south eastern europe has longer history in christainy than western europe before communism...

Western europeans had druids.... Southeastern Europe had civilization -commerce and trade...

England was just a siberian outpost in the roman empire...thats the symbol of your civilization ... a foggy outpost over the seas with NO BIG RESOURCES...every englishman had to immigrate out of the island like places what is america or australia because england was lousy and overcrowded...


furthermore, WHY DO RUSSIAN HAVE CHRISTIAN ORTHODOX CHURCHES? WHY DO THEY HAVE ICONS REPRESENTING IMAGES FROM STORIES FROM THE BIBLE? ARE YOU SLOW TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT ?


WHY DO RUSSIANS CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS? WHY DO THEY PERFORM CHRISTIAN BURIAL RITUALS?


DID YOU KNOW THE KING JAMES BIBLE WAS TRANSLATED FROM THE GREEK ORTHODOX SEPTUAGINT ? THE KING JAMES BIBLE WAS TRANSLATED FROM ORTHOD CHURCH THAT HAD HEBREW TEXTS?

IT WAS NOT IN JOLLY BORING OLE ENGLAND?

BORING OLE ENGLAND WITH A SMALL LAND MASS AND BIG IMMIGRATING POPULATION WAITING TO COLONIZE NATIVE INDIGENOUS TERRITORY..
