Constantine, Emporor of Rome, who was the first to embrace 'Christianity'. I sooo wish he hadn't done this, then we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now with the 'Christian' influence spread across the globe.

I don't have many issues with the teachings of the person allegedly known as Jesus, which seem to have very little to do with what modern Christians believe and do.

Stalin takes the cake, the table, and the table cloth away.Just where these guys run with the dinette I don't know yet. Maybe in the future we can recognize the crazies at birth. Or according to Howard Bloom could it be the idea itself?

And somehow, theres still lots of people in Russia who would like to bring Stalin's type of governemt back!

jennyRater. . .Not only in Russia. Montclair State University professor Grover Furr has been educating his students in New Jersey to the virtues of Stalinism for two decades now. He has stated it was morally wrong to oppose the Soviet Union. Furr also believes the world needs another Stalinist International to save the world from exploiters.*

There is much disinformation in the Western media concerning Russia returning to totalitarianism. That view is pushed by those who are enraged that Putin moved against the Oligarchs who owned the media and 75% of Russian industry under Yeltsin. Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Boris Berezovsky, Vladimir Gusinsky attempted, in 2002, to buy the Russia Duma. Misha bragged publically he would spend $100 million to do it. When Putin learned he was directing votes on the floor of the Duma with his cell phone, the investigation of Yukos Oil was stepped up and Khodorkovsky found himself in prison for stealing several billion dollars from the Russian people.

These crooks were funding the old Communist party , socialist parties and free market parties in an attempt to whipsaw and fragment the Russian people so they could continue their looting (they were taking billions out to Russia to the UK, Malta, Cypress and Israel).

This is exactly what was done to the Russian people in the run up to 1917.

When the western media, George Soros, Richard Perle and others cry about Putin having been in the KGB and the "soloviki" around him, one has to laugh. Yes, they were KGB. But they were the patriotic, diplomatic KGB who fought the Cold War. Khdorkovsky alone, however, had over 20,000 former internal KGB members on his payroll. These were the thugs and criminal who went after Soviet citizens.

 

Oh, I think I'll cry, tears in my eyes, Putin such a good, good, honest and beautiful man. Snif!. I understand now, I know the truth!! //cries

 

Typical. Never said that of Putin.

He is better than the crooks who had Yeltsin fronting for them.

Upset that the Oligarchs can't rip the Russian people off anymore? Upset that they aren't flying the kids to school in London on Gulfstream V's? Upset that they aren't buildings mansions in Tel Aviv and shrines to themself in Jerusalem with the money they were stealing from Russia?

All choked up that Putin told George Soros to get his nose out of Russia affairs?

The working people of Russia are glad they parasites who were feeding off them are, mostly, in exile or jail. When Putin put Mishna in a cell where he belongs, Putin's approval numbers went from under 60% to over 75%.

Liberals. You just got to love them. Any crook anywhere in the world grabs people by the throat and liberals hoot and hollar in glee.

And then go into a snit when the people fight back.

 

Nah, Putin is good for the Russian people and Russia, far better than Yeltsin ever was,
I just don't like Russia and its' people, that's all.

I wonder when it was that latvians started hating russia... was it during all of our past history that you were in the middle of the ruso/germanic split? Am I right when I say that latvia has always been far away from russia in lines of thought and politics... not to mention invading us in 1242 ? Im still mistified as to why you hate the russian people and russia... past life experience? well its your opinion feel free to express it , im just saying that " I hate the russian people" is a-bit centralised... not all of them can be that bad.

 

lol, I don't think that's a problem, because I dislike people and human contact in general, my country people included. And I dislike Americans more than Russians.

 

Ok fair enough, but I know atleast 10 nice americans who i like more than 10 russians I know... you can find assholes anywhere.

Aye, not all, but all that I have met, if you (oddly enough) count out some belorussians, but that is (I think) because of the Russian biggotry attitude as if they owned Latvia and all that was in it. I think that that hate started during the time when Latvia was a part of Russia in the second half of the 19th century, that's when official rusification politics stepped in from Moscow and Russian authorities started to destroy our culture. And yes, we've never been culturally or politically close to Russia.

 

Ye thats actually a reason for many contries in our area hating us... trying to expand and dominate other cultures.

 

its not as if the russians dont have enough land already..!

 

I said expand culturaly not physically

 

like spreading the russian languge, the vodka adiction and roulete, the furry hats..?

 

sort of... scratch the hats , vodka and roulette.
