    I went today for elections of president of Russian Federation and was suprized with the activity that local Russian people show by going to the Russian Embassy in Berlin and voting.
    There was a huge line, maybe about 300 meters of people who were seeking to enter the Embassy to participate in the elections...Meanwhile, in Ukraine in violation of all the international laws the access to the Russian Consulates and Embassies was blocked by the local authorities...

    It's Russia...there's a good chance that this line was simply people waiting for food....or looking for information about love ones killed in Syria!

    So, are you assuming someone cares veesko?

    Oh, the usual Ukraine bashing from the russian living in Berlin, using Angela's money:)).
    Here's food for thought...vis....maybe if the moskalis got out of the DPR and Crimea, maybe there would be some civility.
    I wonder if Kremlin would allow the same token for ukranians or any other minorities working in muscovshchyna to do the same!!?:))

    It is Berlin and any German who is in this forum can confirm this. Besides, on the first more close picture there is written on the building: Russian Embassy. Russian embassy in Russia? :-D

    If you write here, I assume you care. Why Russians should get out of Crimea? This is the land that belongs to Russia. Maybe the Nazis that sit in Kiev and bomb Donbass since 2014 should get out of Kiev?

    Germans are more worried about American sanctions than Russian spies.

    No not really, It wouldn't surprise me if they were pressured to "vote"...all hands on deck. Anything less than 90% would be rather embarrassing for Putinka.

    Crimea was annexed vis, illegally, seems you don't understand;).

    Funny that some of us would side with nazis, huh? Funny that some of us live in denial that Nuland's intercepted and recorded phone call to the US ambassador in Ukraine revealed that we were involved in the coup, and that we had already chosen who would replace a duly elected president in Ukraine. It seems the US despises democratic voting, but try to convince the rubes we love and want to spread democratic forms of gov't.

    But as we also know, when it comes to americans, you cannot fix stupid, and stupid is as stupid does, to quote Forrest, Forrest Gump.

    It is so discouraging to live in america and be surrounded by idiots. In the middle of a lightning storm, these people run like hell to the lone, tall oak tree in the middle of a field. To escape getting hit by a bolt of lightning. And if you tell them not to do that, they think you are the stupid person.

    I know a lot, as I live myself in Germany and you - do not. Information that you provide comes from the second hands... If you lived yourself here, we could discuss....

    Yes, actually. There was a small meeting organized by the opposition in front of the embassy with the posters: Нет вору и убийце. Свободу политическим заключенным! (No to the thief and murderer! Freedom to political prisoners!)

    Yes, Crimea was annexed illegaly in the middle of 20 th century by Ukraine. Now looks like the justice is restored. You want to say that I was pressured to vote? :) No. I was not. By the way, I did not vote for Putin.

    Your defense of the Putin regime will all ring hollow the next time the Russia aggressor's tanks rubble toward Berlin.
    You, no doubt, will offer some excuse once again why its all justified!

    Why Russian tanks should be heading for Berlin? There are no reasons for that. In addition, I do not support Putin in everything that he does.

    Seriously....you cannot see all the aggression Putin is involved in.....from defending that maniac in Syria, to defector assassination, to cyber war, nuclear threats, territorial conquests, election interference worldwide and countless others!

    Russia spends about $1 billion a year for propaganda purposes. Many of those Russians living in Germany have Russian tv channels and get exposed to the same propaganda as their compatriots back home. Their media does an exceptional job by masterfully mixing Soviet nostalgia with nationalism.

    I am not sure about Germany, but I know Putin is extremely unpopular among Russian immigrants in the U.S. I am surprised if its true. Perhaps many of them are recent immigrants as opposed to those who arrived during Soviet era.

    What nuclear threat you are talking about? Please, provide the reference to the specific speech of Putin where he threatens with nuclear weapons. Russia interferes in elections? Maybe. But America does the same (Ukraine is the first example). Moreover, US interferes in the political life not only enemies, but also in the political life of their allies (like Germany). Who told you that Assad is maniac? Your mass media? He struggles with terrorists and US support them, like the same US supported terrorists modjaheeds in Afganistan. So... your country better look at its own behaviour before teaching others.
