I'm afraid Belgorod is not "post-Soviet Russia" it's still Soviet Russia.

"Early this year they launched a campaign to stop people swearing and encouraged police to fine anyone heard using "four-letter" words."

Surely that's got to be a load of bollocks

Well done, Belgorod city council, I take my hat off to your dedication to The Cause. Finally the maggots are getting their well-earned comuppance. God bless the boys from our vice squads, and may the bastard DJs know no rest until they've all been hunted down and pee'd on in their own bloody toilets.

P.S. I only wish to challange the following: "Western-style discos have become popular in post-Soviet Russia" - the idiots at the BBC don't know that discos in Russia have always been the way they are today, communism or no effing communism, at least as far as I can remember myself. Western style my @rse.

BTW, happy 7th of Nov to everybody. No pasaran, comrades!

I certainly support this action. Since when did decadence equal 'freedom'?

Drink restriction law is a top of wisdom in comparison with this one.

Most Russians view discos simply as innocent fun.

Yes, yes. Music and dancing, beer and much stronger drinks, cheap sex opportunities and prostitutes, cheap extasy and other drugs... Pure, innocent fun.

You just described my teenage years.

Ahh nostalgia.

Comrades, let us not argue. After all, how many of us Russians really enjoy discos? I bet it's only the bootlicking fringe. I mean, would a Russian born and bred choose a bass guitar over a balalaika? We don't really enjoy discos with their primitive western pop music, we prefer our folk music. And our folk music kicks butt - even the Irish with their ugly bodhrans (which are best played with a penknife, btw) have long since capitulated. Anyway, comrades, here's what I think is very Russian and should be cultivated in the minds of our youth:
- balalaikas
- buza, an ancient form of Russian martial arts
- senokos, the mowing of hay
- zhiganstvo, the fine art of looking after horses and a special kind of philisophy (blessed be the gypsies for giving it to us)
- freshly squized fruit and vegetable juices as an alternative to pivkarikis
- free post-marital sex for everyone (in the West once you are married you have to purchase coupons from the council to have sex with your spouse, this barbaric practice was introduced after the Wisconsin condom riots in 1987)

So what do you think, comrades?
