    I watched a video where a Russian woman asked if he would run for the next election. He basically he would run again if people would support him. As usual main the media will make up crap.

    I don't know what video you mean. But I know that American policemen kill several hundreds civilians every year. But Russian kill ten times less.

    I don't care what the Russians think. They aren't very smart themselves.

    I wondered if the Lithuanians were pagans or not, but was too lazy to look it up. I remember reading once that they were the last to become Christian in Europe. It could be then that Alexander Nevsky was a convert to Christianity, not that it makes any difference. The Ukrainians suffer from Russia envy, and are picking at straws... to their own detriment of course.

    Nevsky fought for Russia at a time in its history when he was solely needed, and that's all that matters. Vladimir Putin is being put in the same category as him.

    Yesterday Putin officially said that he will run, which means the people are supporting him.

    Your "empire", wouldn't have collapsed if the Russians were smart. And you had many Germans building your armaments and space program after WW2. Not saying all moskalis are stupid, but let's be honest, you have nukes and still everything collapsed, rather embarrassing.

    They were Russian. It is not a joke.It's a genetics. They spoke Russian originally.

    Russia became a Christian country more than two centuries before Nevsky. You meant prince Vladimir. But that time Lithuanians were absent yet.

    You've confused again. Russia suffers from The Ukrainian envy. It's a well known fact.

    https://www.rbth.com/.../waistline-wars-the-obesity-problem-russia-has-yet-to-acknow...
    Oct 21, 2016 - Almost 30 percent of Russia's population suffers from obesity and 60 percent are technically overweight. The dynamics of the last decades and global experience show that this is by far not the only problem: The additional burden on the economy may be even greater – especially because in Russia this ...

    Not all us Americans eat at McDonald's, burger King or pizza hut! Funny, in North America life expectancy is well into the 80s, and many instances of people living in 90s and into 100s. Whereas in former SU, average is s till around 60-65 yrs!

    that's what you are told by the media, however in same media you would find that most of Western celebrities die around 60, this is the real number of lifespan in the West.

    Jan 31, 2017 - One-quarter of Russian companies cut salaries in 2016, at times even skipping payments to their employees. The average monthly wage in Russia dropped 8% last year (after falling 9.5% in 2015) to under $450 — less than the mean monthly pay in China, Poland or Romania — while the povertyrate ...

    what you cite has nothing to do with reality, as you might see from the very language of the captions and pics dated back to the 1990s or so, and they have been writing this for decades; the place should have disappeared by now, following their logic... you must be silly or malicious to rely on publications like that instead of travel and see the world.

    look I think this whole ... we're better than you...no we're better than you argument in this thread is silly.

    The police corruption I was referring to was mentioned by one of the Russians in the VICE video about Krokodil, (I think a more appropriate name for this drug is "The Living Dead" or "Zombie" because if it rots your body it would rot your brain long before your skin even shows any signs of rotting).

    Apart from the video it's a well known fact that Russian police are corrupt, no they are not the only corrupt police force in the world but that doesn't take away the fact that they are indeed corrupt, also many other sectors.... judicial sector, private and public sectors....more. None of this makes me feel like gloating... I feel sad for ordinary Russians, corruption is like Krokodil for your country... it rots it from the inside out :(

    It's like what happens with the Con vs Lib arguments. No one can criticise one side without a deflecting response attempting to criticise the other side, no matter whether the origincal critic is even on one of the given sides or not. Can't get anywhere with these people; they just want to fight.
