due to last world news shoud say: Stop russians.

Хватит нацисткого идиотизма

[andrey_kaminsky]

News should say: Stop idiots who are uttering nonsense. Russians are different. Someone should be stoped, some should not.

How are Russians different?

Some of them are infants, there is no need stop them, it is enough to turn them into slaves. Other, of course, should be shot in the name of Goodness and Justice!)

I can't imagine a pro-Islamic statement appearing on a bus or subway station in Russia. As evidenced here on LJ, your society isn't so good at tolerating divergent viewpoints. Such provocative statements would likely cause uproar, fights, or serious harm amongst the most uncivilized in the society.

I am free to say absolutely any nonsense about Israel and Palestine. My freedom ends where the government begins.

Actually it's hard to imagine pro-anything (except of Puting and his cronies from ER) statement in Russia :(

What is "pro-Islamic"?

[xpo_xpo_xpo]

Russian central TV has weekly show for Moslems (http://russia.tv/brand/show/brand_id/3959). But it's clear any ideas like "kill Jews" are strictly prohibited anywhere in Russia.

I meant outrageous, sensationalist type statements like the one on the metro bus in the photo. Any ad that displays a photo of Hitler is meant to shock people and stir debate.

With Russian antitrust committee it's impossible to ad anything

[xpo_xpo_xpo]

E.g. recently they prohibited ad stating "Drink. Smoke. Drive recklessly. Natural selection is on the way. Our funeral company works 24/7": they said this ad promotes drinking and smoking (which is prohibited) and calls to breach the law.

Stop 'em all till not to late! Russian fascism must be stopped !

But many Russians believe Ukrainians are fascists. So, which is it? Very difficult for an outsider to understand the situation, or get reliable information about what's really happening.

[medok]

If its difficult for you to understand the situation even right now- just dont care about this.
May be someday.

As one of the many Russian I believe that most of the so-called Ukrainians are just poor Russians trapped in construction of a mythical state of Ukraine..(no language no culture no nation no common idea).. Unfortunately, this game is over with real blood ((

[peacetraveler22]

I understand your point. However, do you think there is a "common idea" in Russia or amongst Russians? Because many of my readers don't. Just curious.

[mujlan01]

Of course there is! Ultimately the idea was formulated by Imperator Alexander III more than a hundred years ago: "Russia should belong to the Russian, and everyone who lives on this land, is obliged to respect and appreciate these people".
Unfortunately ex KGB colonel is trying to built a kind of "Russian USA"....a country for everybody and nobody simultaneously (.a weird parody on actual us)..
As you can see Ineffective idea leads to pretty weak results...
