I'm Russian – ask me a question. Be it about Russia or a personal one.

Hi Tamonten...

1. Do a lot of Russian's believe in aliens/ufo's?

2. What's the most favorite conspiracy theory in Russia

3. How much does a subwayticket cost in Moscow?

4. Do you think Lenin should be burried or kept as a display mummy?

5. What's the generell view on Germans?


BTW.. I think there is more freedom of speech in Russia today than their is in the entire EU as we are run by a bunch of weirdo liberal "political-correctness" cunts.

Hi!

1. Quite a number I'd say. Mostly because after the general materialistic upbringing of Soviet era people would generally rather believe in some scientific thing than in mystical. But actually, you can find a bunch of people believing in just everything now. Though, it's less wild now, than it was in 90s.

2. Well, I can say for sure which ones are not even considered. Whole "chemtrails", "flat earth" etc. things are debunked just by having a full high school course of physics - we have a college-worth of it by the end of 11th grade. Lately the most popular one would be "Russia is the most ancient nation on the globe, but elites are hiding the proofs from us" thing. Quite ridiculous actually.

3. Meh. I did not use it for several years now, since I live 15 kilometers from city proper and mostly use car to get somewhere. Official site says 32 rubles - 0.43 euro. With one ticket you can ride even all day long as far as you don't leave the subway.

4. My personal opinion is that not only Lenin, but the whole necropolis of the Kremlin Wall should be with all due respect moved to some special memorial park designed to glorify the Soviet era. Maybe even inside of the same Kremlin wall, I don't know.
I personally don't like Lenin at all. If there is someone who should have been kept as a "living" monument it should have been Stalin, the true founder of the SU.
Some of those people are great, many are criminals, but they are a part of our history. But - having a graveyard at our main square is just sick. IMO.

5. Not a thing against common Germans, a lot to say about frau Merkel and elites in general. But mostly I just agree with Pyotr Durnovo from 100 years ago - Germany is a natural ally of Russia and feuds between us are a calamity for both of our nations. [link to novaonline.nvcc.edu]

Well, sometimes I wonder if we have a little too much of this freedom. When I see govenment- and state corporation founded media (such as "Echo Moskvi", "Dozhd" etc. etc.) talking dirty about my country and its people I almost wish for some healthy measure of censorship...

Thanks... for the replies..

if you find the time .. then

let me know how the average russian thinks about the refugee crisis in EU and also what russians think about Merkel's open door policy.. and how the press is reporting on this issue.

Where do Russians prefer to go on holidays these days?

And what do Russians on average think of Donald Trump?

I've read about the Siberia-Alaska bridging/tunnel project and that Putin recently gave the green light for this project and allocated $65 billion for it.. do you think it is feasable? Is there even an american leadership that would take advantage of such a great opportunity?

Thank you for your answer, and God bless

You are welcome.

Well, I can't say for typical Russians, but our experts are mostly shocked how foolishly Western leadership is acting. So is the press.
It's not even about the influx that is happening now, but about the general lack of will to do something really effective to integrate even the old waves of migrants into society.
For now it reminds us of Fall of Rome. When old Roman Empire became too self-indulgent to protect itself and invited barbarians into its proper. After a hundred years or so there was nothing left of once great civilization.
Here's one good commentary of the Russian expert on this matter: [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] Though he is of Jewish descent, it doesn't make him less Russian, even if with some typical Jewish traits.

As for holidays... Previously Egypt and Turkey were the most popular destinations, but they are closed now. I'd guess, Balkans (a relatively calm part of it), South-East Asia (Thailand mostly) and Crimea should be the most popular destinations now. I personally prefer Cyprus (been there 7 or 8 times), but it's more expensive than the rest I listed.

Well, about Donald Trump, I'll just quote one answer I've given on this matter on some other thread:


About Alaska-Chukotka tunnel... I don't believe it's possible until the whole mess with Ukraine is settled down. Our first priority now is to build Crimean Bridge. And until US stops acting stupid and recognizes that Crimea is Russian. I'd guess it'll either happen after some major military conflict or after 20 or so years at least.

thats heroin,a pain killer
marijuana is directly tied to the old gnostic religion that christianity came from,and mushrooms as well.Ever read john marco allegro? sacred mushroom and the cross,what about siberian shamans? what happenrd when orthodox church came ? they burned the gnostic books! so they can assert themselfs of course.They created islam as well...and everything revolves around that story now...and you instead of researching it wants to ban it because of some other drug thats being abused...There will never be real progress unless the truth is out.

Well, you know... I'm Pagan myself, but all this Slavic NeoPaganism is a pure rubbish to me. That's exactly the thing I was telling German AC a bit back here.
Mechanical reenactment of ancient cults is as vile as mechanical reenactment of early Islam and early Christianity. Nothing good will be born from it.

east, west its all the same once we drop shenanigans

So, it was a trick to make the West think Prussia was somehow associated with Russia.

Either that, or they were trying and failing to come up with a limerick.

I mean, hardly anything rhymes with "Russia."

Harte

Why are Russians such whiners? I swear this is my biggest issue with my wife and her mother.

Well, Russia in Russian sounds "Rossiya". Basically "Rossiya" means "Lands of Russ'", because the region of modern f.Ukraine (northern part of it mostly), Belarus and European part of Russian were known as "Small Rus'", "White Rus'" and "Great Rus'" respectively - only Belarus has retained its historical name. Also there was "Red Rus'" at what is now Western f.Ukraine.
By the 16th century Great Rus's political center was established in Moscow and at the same time Knyaz (closest Western title may be Archduke, while it's usually translated as "Prince") of Moscow's official title has become "A master of all of Rus'". Later it was changed to "Master of all Great, Small and White Rus'"
The term "Rossiya" appeared somewhere in that period to define the country. Later, during Peter I the Great reign official name was changed into "Russian Empire" - "Rossiyskaya Imperiya" - basically "Empire of Russia".

I suppose the spelling "Russia" comes from combining historical "Rus'" with new suffix.

But actually in Russian there's a bunch of countries that are named in the same manner:
England - "Angliya"
France - "Franciya"
Germany - "Germaniya"

But there was another country with similar name - Yugoslavia, which basically means "Land of Southern Slavs".

Returning to Prussian matter though, Prussians were originally of Baltic origin, making them close relatives of Slavs. Even the languages of Slavic and Baltic families are regarded as closest relatives.
Oh, and here's another two similar country names - Estonia and Latvia.

What do you mean by that? The general manner of behavior or just not smiling all the time?
About smiling - it's just a peculiarity of our culture. [link to sayonaki-tatsu.livejournal.com]
If it's about the general lack of optimism and a habit of seeking each and every bad thing around them, it may be the overdose of Russian classical literature. It's quite grim most of the time.

no,i just mentoned slavs for the hell of it to compare...nothing good did come out of it,thats why im pointing to the esence(the essenes)

Doesn't really matter.
I don't see a big difference between different types of substances that make you lose yourself unless there's a proper guidance to find something greater in exchange.
For better or worse in our civilization this knowledge is lost and indulging into narcotics will do nothing to restore that practices.

dmt
ayahuasca
mushrooms
all great teachers in this world
or do you think man is ?
hahaha
you clearly have forgaten who rules this world
enteogens are one,plants is the answer.Not you,not me,not russia not america...or the church.

Hey,

I'm swedish. We got some kind of bad reputation going on holidays getting shitfaced messing around, at least being young doing it. I've seen it so partly it's true and I will not deny it.

Anyhow, I went to Egypt lots of years ago, and this all inclusive hotel personell said they were happy to have swedes there. And said they really had problems with russians in general. After a few days I could see why.

I'm not saying that everyone there did this but stuff happened all the time each day. For instance:

- being rude to service, grabbing stuff without civil behaviour in food lines
- shouting and screaming at the service staff for no real reason
- being loud and without respect for people
- dropping trash all over the place
- getting over the top drunk

All in all I did not have much problem with it personally, but if I was working in the hotel I really would be bothered.

Is this something that just happened on this hotel, or more general?

Best wishes

Not sure how to comment it, but I will.
In Russia you would have been swiftly fined under the law prohibiting advertising of narcotics - 20 to 25 of minimal wages (6204 rubles) - 1915 to 2394 USD.
And justly so, IMO.

those are not narcotics
do you know the difference?
they are enteogens
dmt is the strongest and your brain produces it to create dreams,it is the so called spirit molecule,prophecies come from that...
thats why i will never visit your little corupt nation.I have enough of it where i am already.
You glorify machinery and yet speaking about gods unaltered plants can get u in jail?
fuck you,and fuck your laws! how about that? you are not sure? of course you are not sure coz u are brainwashed by man! and you dont know that shamans were the first elders and seers and doctors...Trough plants of course...what else was there? im not talking about junkies under a bridge here,im talking about freedom from organized kidnaped religion and the real gnosis.
You cant compare with me,with all your useless knowlidge u presented here,what do you have from it? did it change you,as the jesus mushroom does? it is said,no one can see gods kingdom unless trough "me"
You know nothing,still living in sin
sin was a term for a miss in archery at those times...Can you do the math?
your life is a promashaj dude (a miss)
aj zdravo.

.

you are still living the program
you come here and because you are russian that should mean something?
it doesnt mean shit
im bosnian and ?
those ppl are idiots (most of them)
just like where u are .im sure there are plenty of your countrymen who know what iam talking about...maybe they are in jail coz they said dmt is a plant

what a fucking joke! gtfoh
give me something meaningfull not the same old shit that gets you nowhere.

For all I care everything that is not essential for life, but is prone to make people dependent on it is a narcotic. That's also how my government views it.
Actually, it's a pity that my account is not upgraded now. Usually there is "Evil Russian Imperialist" written under my nickname. It should tell things to your type.

I don't want to repeat those ages of trial and error that shamans of old has passed before they became able to take more good from the natural stimulants than there is evil caused by them to their bodies and psyche. And I'll gladly learn from any real practicer if I meet one. But that's all.

If weed is the only topic that interests you, it doesn't mean that everyone is like that. Just saying.

Well, there are several factors in play here.

For starters, I must ask how long ago has it happened? Because typical Russian tourist has changed several times since the border was opened. In 90s for example many of those who were going outside of Russia for a trip had quite questionable income sources. Actually, there was a typical special service at the tour agencies - "to find a hotel with next to nothing Russians" - for those Russians who were uncomfortable with living in the same hotel with criminals.
Also, I for once have never been on "all inclusive" service, though I've been to at least 7 countries. In Russia at least people who are buying such tours are usually doing it for the "all you can drink" bar, not for anything else. The rest are usually people who want to have beach trip without care - they don't even go outside the hotel if they can help it.
Another reason is that Egypt was always the most cheap foreign country for Russians. It's likely that you've mostly encountered the worst kind of Russians you can encounter outside Russia. Lest educated, lest well-behaved etc. etc. Not to mention that regular alcohol consumption on the resort can not make anyone's behavior better for sure.

you think shallow (plitko)

"Allegro hoped it would illuminate the origins of thought, language and religion. People should then be able to better understand where they came from, shed the trappings of religion, and take true responsibility for what they did to each other and their world."

But you dont want that,you think i think about weed coz im some kinda hippy?

its not about me,hello! i already went trough the fiery furnace,many times.Its about you! But you would send me to prision,haha
just like when they killed the good teacher
people are trully stoka
cattle...lazy to learn,to observe,to savor,enjoy,laugh,philosophise...Its like that russian movie when the dad tries to spend time with his boys and then he dies trying to save one of the brats...
You have to know everything in life!
otherwise someone like me will come along and remind u of your sins hahaha.

you are russian
ok
do you have the ability to see russia on a spiritual kimatic level,or other countries?
those are devine pictures that words are cheap to compare to the picture,to see a aura of a nation...It would be glorious if it was iluminated...i can see it
i can see finland,sweden,italy...you name it...
i bet you dont even know what iam talking about
laylines,energies,geo position...what is kymatica? you know why i know this?
combined excellent knowlidge of geography and a connection with earth and its enteogens...
second sight,wind coulor a touch of violence and the fragment of dark, Illusion span the aroma of time,shadowlife and the scent of nothingness :)

I think that your reception of reality is distorted, that's all. I have a lot of acquaintances with the same disorder and I'm fed up with this nonsense already.

you have a disorder
i live with the earth and as a living being i understand the conection

your lack of humanity is showing
you have not debated me,you have not looked in to what i am writing.All you did is say i belong in jail and attack me like a little bully u are
well i can do that too
thank god i dont have friends like u
only highly intelectual people can converse with me,who know what incantations mean,who know why the earth is in disharmony because of man and men like you,you disgusting filth,human garbage!

I'm Pagan. I believe in what people usually call "magic" even if it's not quite the right term. And I can sense quite a lot - without any weed.
Advertising it to me is useless. I've had one of my closest friends doing the same, but we came to the mutual conclusion than I don't need it. For reasons.

And this particular post is a perfect example why such substances should not be at public disposal.
A classical mixture of supremacy complex, self-indulgence and exaltation combined.

who the fuck is talking about weed?
i smoke it every day,its like tea to me,i go to work ,i shop ,all while smoking,for 18 years now,wtf? its like a strong cup of tea...
im talking about enteogens,weed is a semi enteogen
while the jesus mushroom is a full one!
and if you want to be a puntly little man who wollows in human filth then ok,im not advertising anything to you.For that i would look for a return,im not looking for anything from you or any other braineashed fool.Im simply trying to see how smart you are,and if you are not,which ckearly shows that you arnt then maybe it would rntice you to read about it.Its history,anthropology,gnosis,hidden secrets...
u cant compare with me
if you are still stupid the end goal of all of this is getting ready (prepare) for death...because you are not a turtle,just a lost soul :)
