Re: What do you think about Russia!!!

I don't think Putin and his anti-terrorist troops are very good at handling situations. Just look at the horrible tradegy at Beslan (340 hostages died almost half children), the moscow theater seiges (100 hostages died in '03, 130 in '02) or the hospital seige in '95 where it was handled or (mishandled) by the same anti-terrorist group which gas stormed the theater in '03 (166 hostages died). Some of you said you admire his swift handle of threats but I can't really see the delicate "handle with care" edge. Seems more like a "get 'er done before it blows up in the media" resulting in blowing up in their faces instead. IMO, they're just another country benefiting from this war-on-terror agenda, and getting away with atrocities while the world is focused on Iraq.

and i'd like to second the comments made about the corrupt industries and mention the huge gap between the rich and the poor and how the vast majority of the country is being exploited.

i think that some other state didn't solve this problem with anti-terrorist better

Gorbachov? i thought Eltsin was since 1992

I'm russian and i'm really sad about what i see on russian TV, makes me wonder how people can believe in that bullshit. No fucking free mass media. And it's so obvious that the most part is lie. That sucks. They can only speak about terror (administration), but no fucking real actions to prevent every year terror attacks. Will see what will be in the autumn again and what he will say, again about international terrorism, again about war, again about dignity and other bs. He just sucks, since 2000 what he has done? of course he stabilized economy, but every idiot can sell oil and gas, just don't take to much for yourself. And last events in Ukraine, why the fuck they tried to do something there, they still think that Ukraine is part of Russia? Everyone has right to chose, i was really afraid and still afraid that after these elections all Ukranians will look on us as on enemies just because of bunch of idiots on the top of the country. I am sure Putin's team will be more than 10 years there, maybe even more, if he will not be presiden for the third time he will find a heir.

[runningman]

you are dreaming if you think that Russia has anything on the USA..
You haven't been around for a while have you??
Russia is a joke compared to the USA and China..

[Leha]

Yeah China is really moving forward very quick even with communist party, they work hard.

I don't think that USA has good level of life because of no wars and that clever people go to there. It's about mentality. Clever people can be everywhere, Russia has really good theory science, we have really huge cultural heritage in literature. But that doesn't help us to piss out of toilet, drink vodka in gallons and beat each other everywhere. I speak at all, i have some really top guys friends and girls in Russia, but sometimes i am just shoked there from the whole masses. And yes, we have very big differences between people, poorness spoiled people. But anyways, i like to go home every summer, it's much more fun for me there and i still feel comfortable there.

Russia has indeed very sophisticated technology, they just don't have the money. Maybe Putin shoudl concentrare on getting the Russian economy strong, but instead he's only focusing on terrirorial issues (Chechnya) an political issues outside Russia's borders. Let Chechnya separate itself, let Ukraine be governed by Yuschenko. The smaller Russia is, the easier it gets to reconnect it to the global market.

Though I don't know about Putin's aspirations. He doesn't seem to be orientated at reconnecting Russia, but maybe Russia has too many problems at the moment...?

And the vodka keeps you warm in the winter huh? (I sometimes drink Ursus or Smirnoff. Or both )

Through Chechnya go oil pipes from Kaspian sea. And it's too late now, chechens that had power before at least were educated, they studied in russian universities, it was possible to talk with them, but fucking alcoholic Eltsin failed everything, now there are animals like Basaev, but ofcourse some solutions can be found. And if let Chechnya to go out, other regions like Dagesta, Ingushetiya can also want independance. Btw caucause war goes for couple of centuries back

I also drink sometimes vodka, especially in Russia, because everyone drinks it there, in my town club - 2 vodka + one juice = 1 euro - good price, heh
