Explain why there is a large LJ community devoted to pictures of partying Russians, with Russian captions.

Don't get me wrong, I dig it. I just could never figure out why I was always running into Russian language LJs and LJ Communities, as opposed to only the occasional LJ in, like, any other language.

Oh crap, now the Ruskies will know the details of what I had for lunch last week.

Yes... and I would also advise that you stop posting about all the state secrets you steal from Russia.

Sure, if you want to be assassinated. See below.

Will the state security services put polonium-210 in our coffee if we make fun of Putin's topless photos in our livejournals?

[one_11]

Yes.
