Did you miss the part where the russian president fled from the country? Yes, there is plenty wrong with the russian parliament. Its a scham. The elections are fixed aswell, so nope. Its still a dictatorship in practice. It just tries to look like its not, and badly at that.




Well, thats what i heard from the news. Not my fault if its innacurate. Though i would like to be enlighted on your side of the events.

Though i especially would like for you to explain to me how it isnt a dictatorship, because Putin just keeps swapping between the president and prime minister positions to stay in power. I would like to see you say he doesnt have control over the powers of both those positions.

He/me got elected, is he not?

Can't say is it fair or not, but other candidates where just awful.

Is America's perverted view of Russia any worse than the perverted view of America that Russia has?

Also, your thoughts on the anchor that quit on air. Do you think she was full of it or being honest?

Yes. Some russian patriots really believe that  USA are poor and ruled by  ZOG, for example.

1) Do the girls there like foreigners?
2) How hard is it to learn the language? From a speaking perspective and from a writing perspective. I know there are the rules for "feminine" and "masculine" (and also neutral) objects like in french, spanish, and portuguese. Anything else besides that? How is the grammar? Lots of verb conjugation? Any tricks to pronunciation?

And привет :)

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

How did those oligarchs get away with stealing all the assets of the russian people? I mean, obviously they paid corrupt politicians or were friends of theirs... but why did the russian people roll over and accept it?

Its a hard question. When they was stealing the country our people was cheated by our authorities, and then was too weak. You know, when your main problem is where to get money for food - you don't think about politics. 90s was a very hard times for our country. Then in the start of 2000 everything start getting better. And still getting better - maybe not so good as we want but still! )

1. I don't know if my view on America is perverted or not. ))) Maybe I should tell my opinion on USA. I have to tell you I never been there, mu opinion will be only on culture/mass media/some american guys I spoke with.
2. Head of Russia Today put an artivle about the situation. She's a smart girl and her vision on this problem satisfied me. 
As for me - it didn't bother me at all, since I don't watch a TV. Only Olimpics, and after that - total stop, my TVs at home are just a big screen for games/movies.
