Again, many Russians believe that "grass is greener somewhere else" and usually "somewhere else" claims to have democracy there. This automatically means Russian hasn't had any democracy so far
Well, I quote Ramil and Basil77 then. I have learnt a lot about how Russians (well, educated Russians in the Moscow area, I guess....) look at things. I think they are a similar age to me also, so it's easy to relate to their experience of events.

Yeah, I have noticed this fact in American media (comedians) although I did not know it was a trend. How creepy! Interesting to hear that you used to be a journalist. I think that the Internet is one of the few places where you can really find out and inform yourself about stuff without having someone elses agenda or propaganda shoved down your throat. All the more scary that politicians and corporations are starting to plot how to control it, starting but not ending with filesharing and alleged "terrorists".I think the story of the Megaupload bust would really interest you Deborski - check out the site torrentfreak.com

They haven't invaded you or threatened you, have they? And people have the right to read whatver media they like, don't they? This is no different from you watching Euronews or CNN. I am beginning to think that the Baltic states are under some kind of mass paranoia. Take Finland for example, they don't annoy Russia on purpose but they are not paranoid about Russia either. And they have some "history" shall we say. Their current approach has proven very good for their economy too. The Baltic States should try that approach.
