    Russia builds new iron curtain

    Guys, what do you think of current Russia's image? Do you believe it goes towards democracy? For those eager to discuss what it looks like from inside and outside Russia...

    I think it is taking babysteps towards democracy... I am just very curious to see who comes after Putin, if anyone at all!

    I doubt Putin will change the constitution to try and make a third term. He can however be re-elected for another two years after sitting out one term.

    Why to wait for so long? He will simply set a "technical" president, as Eltsyn used to do with PMs, say, for two months. Then this "technical" president will retire, and... here we are! Putin is a head of modern Russian mafia! Once get involved in state's affairs he will never give it up. I don't belive in Russian democracy. It is absolutely clear that the majority of Russia's pepople even don't need it! I'm just anxious what will be to those who don't approve of Putin's regime... Immigration? Or GULAG and new KGB-FSB repression?

    What do you meen by that? Do you think what we have here IS democracy? Did you ever watch Russian TV? It just reminds me of USSR as it was in mid 80's! They (Putin & Co) just LIE people, and people do believe them!

    Calm down man. First, why do you need "democracy"? What do you mean using this word? Second, are your rights curtailed now? Aren't you allowed to live in any place here in Russia, to leave Russia, to start buisness to get married to grow children...and so on and so forth?
    They (Putin & Co) just LIE people, and people do believe them!
    You are watching too much TV. BTW, aren't you allowed to buy satellite TV and watching anything you want?

    I don't want to be allowed to... People DESERVE to have a right to, not TO BE ALLOWED to. Putin IS serving ME (he is elected, not crowned), NOT ME SERVING HIM. Think about it, man! It is a bullshit that I am allowed "to live in any place here in Russia, to leave Russia, to start buisness to get married to grow children...and so on and so forth"!!!! Don't be so naive! You say LIES, man!

    Alot of useless words, ниасилил. Gimme your definition of democracy for making any sence in our discussion.
    Putin IS serving ME (he is elected, not crowned), NOT ME SERVING HIM.
    So you can say "hey putty" (or busshy, or bLairy) go get some for me and they rush to do it. Ok, you can if you are in "ruling class"... but I'm afraid that those guys never ask the question about "demockracy in ..." (Russia, USA, Uganda etc) they just use it.
    Think about it, man!
    I know this trick. So listen me up tricky-dicky - NEVER say to me what I HAVE TO DO and I NEVER say to you where YOU SHOULD GO!
    It is a @@@@ that I am allowed "to live in any place here in Russia, to leave Russia, to start buisness to get married to grow children...and so on and so forth"!!!! Don't be so naive!
    Examples, please.
    You're LYING!
    About what?

    Man, I know who you are and how to treat the guys like you Fell in love with Putin - ok, man, just don't produce stink! People who read it from outside Russia aren't complitely stupid as inside. They understand that YOU ARE a clear example of PROPAGANDA in RU! KGB servants like you have already flooded RUnet!...
    Anyway - to my definition of democ racy... 1) The Governer is RESPONSIBLE for his dids. 2) KGB servants are RESPONSIBLE for what they've done to the country and either jailed (the majority, like you) or honored. Does it make any sence to you, Putin lover?
    As for examples... I DO NOT have a right to settle where I want to unless I give bribes to authorities. I am NOT allowed to start any fairly serious business unless I joined pro-Putin party (as it used to be in the USSR). I'm afraid of my children might got killed in meaningless war for Putin regime in Chechnya. Drugs, AIDS, 59 year-life expectancy for Russian man... IS THAT WHAT YOU STAND FOR, KID? I hope I made myself clear., Cmon, you can celebrate Putin as you pleased to, but don't lie and impose the others with your opinion! I'm fed up with your lie here, in Russia!!!

    By the way, kid (you ARE kid, judgeing your frank love to Putin), I'm not interested in your opinion at all, I know your opinion from the news on Putin-TV. My message is to those outside Russia, as I'm curious what THEY think of what happens in here, not YOU, kid

    Fella, I dont care about you, about f@#$ng Putin and about your relationship between each other, looks like you really have to visit a doctor.
    People who read it from outside Russia aren't complitely stupid as inside.
    Say about yourself only. If you are stupied it doesnt mean that ALL are stupied.
    They understand that YOU ARE a clear example of PROPAGANDA in RU! KGB servants like you have already flooded RUnet!...
    Yeah... you are afraid of us, the evel KGB servants... we are watching you!!! BTW, tonight is my turn to looking over you... come to the window and wave your hand to me.
    Anyway - to my definition of democ racy...
    At last!
    1) The Governer is RESPONSIBLE for his dids.
    WHO??? Governor? What the governor? Whose governor? You sh$t here about putin or about "the governor"? Stop smoke that sh@t, I cannot get what you mean.
    2) KGB servants are RESPONSIBLE for what they've done to the country and either jailed (the majority, like you) or honored.
    So if the mysterious 'Governer' and KGB are RESPONSIBLE then this is DEMOCRACY. Go kill yourself onawall (апстену, то бишь).
    Does it make any sence to you, Putin lover?
    No comments.
    As for examples... I DO NOT have a right to settle where I want to unless I give bribes to authorities.
    EXAMPLE!
    I am NOT allowed to start any fairly serious business unless I joined pro-Putin party (as it used to be in the USSR).
    WHAT the BS??? What do you smoke, send me some of your stuff... My cousine starts a new buisness right now, her own beauty shop. I know about every little things she's done - no one said her to join the Putin's party. My friends opened 2 computer shops - it's the same... I got it! You mean that McDonald's owners ("serious business") in the Putin's party!

    I'm afraid of my children might got killed in meaningless war for Putin regime in Chechnya. Drugs, AIDS, 59 year-life expectancy for Russian man... IS THAT WHAT YOU STAND FOR, KID?
    Im 32. 2 kids, high salaried job,i have 2 my own apartments, my wife is a housewife. What do you say about you, loser?

    I hope I made myself clear., Cmon, you can celebrate Putin as you pleased to, but don't lie and impose the others with your opinion! I'm fed up with your lie here, in Russia!!!
    Go drink some poison!

    Wow, this was fun reading! Can't wait until paul gets banned! I particulary enjoyed the englishized russian proverbs by JJ and paul. Classics! I wonder how they sound in Russian.

    - Kill yourself on a table (JJ)
    - Go kill yourself on a wall (JJ)
    - Go drink some poison (JJ)
    - just don't produce stink! (paul)
    - NEVER say to me what I HAVE TO DO and I NEVER say to you where YOU SHOULD GO! (JJ)

    The bear looked at the car, and reflections of fire danced in his eyes. He knew what to do.

    You forgot fantom and me!

    Anyway, I don't care about the world. Take care of yourself, and everything will be nice including the world. The paul must get the message.
