Nice cufflinks.

Do you know who is this guy on the picture (created in 1947, btw)?

Beware, Russians are coming. And this time they have Riddick on their side!

Now seriously - what is the general sentiment towards Baltic Independence in Russia? We here are starting to reap the fruits, and basically starting to feel good about ourselves. There is a lot of public discussion, 15th anniversary and all, about our relations with Russia, but there is not much reporting about how people in Russia generally feel about it - or you just don't care?

[Serb]

We love the way how you treat Russians there, how you treat anti-fascist veterans, and how you treat SS-motherf*ckers.

[Saras]

Ok, so you're still being brainwashed on a daily basis. Some things never change, USSR or no USSR...

[Serb]

Yeah, right

[Saras]

So you won't ask me WHY I think you're brainwashed, and will continue believing we spend our days goose-step to the tune of "Am Adolf Hitler Platz"

[Serb]

I wounder when you will admit that Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are russophobes with strong anti-Russian policies?

A degree of healthy scepticism is very adviseable in our relations with Russia, bearing in mind our recent history, but "russophobes with strong anti-Russian policies" is nonsense. What makes you think that? And be specific.

[Serb]

Oh sure, let's see:
about 500 000 Russian speakers in Latvia who doesn't have citezenship and can't vote (people who were born there can't vote, because they have Russian origins, while at the same time foreigners from EU can vote if they've spend 3 month there); not to mention such little and unimportant things as capability to get education on their native languge, US belowed Albania has more rights for minorities than Baltic states have (joking, almost joking) What else? Monuments dedicated to SS freaks; kindregardens named after SS "heroes"; SS veterans marching through streets of Tallin and Riga waving their f*cking nazi flags; anti-fascist veterans being thrown into jails; refusal of Lithuanian and Estonian presidents to visit celebrations dedicated to 60th aniversary of victory over nazism, Latvian president who said she will come but just to say there how much a f*ckers Soviets were, here whole speech was a clear insult to Russia. In place of Putin I would break any diplomatic relations with Latvia after words she said - "Vobla na gazetke, itd, itd" ****ing *****.
So yeah, those three countries are Russia's best friends and surelly aren't russophobes.

They are not precluded from getting citizenship; there are clear rules on how to get it, and if they only bothered to learn the language of the country THEY WERE BORN IN, they would get it. So, that's not an argument. Next:

not to mention such little and unimportant things as capability to get education on their native languge, US belowed Albania has more rights for minorities than Baltic states have (joking, almost joking)

WTF, you mean there aren't russian language schools in Latvia and Estonia? It's simply not TRUE, since there ARE.

What else? Monuments dedicated to SS freaks; kindregardens named after SS "heroes"; SS veterans marching through streets of Tallin and Riga waving their f*cking nazi flags;

Latvian and Estonian SS were exclusively combat formations; they also were officialy declared (iirc at Nuremberg, but I may be wrong on the venue) NOT part of the "criminal organisation", and were if not a natural then at least to some extent understandable response of the population to illegal occupation by USSR.

anti-fascist veterans being thrown into jails;

Source? Reason for imprisonment?

refusal of Lithuanian and Estonian presidents to visit celebrations dedicated to 60th aniversary of victory over nazism,

Well with your Duma discussing the merits of Molotov-Ribbentropp pact what the hell do you expect? Our president would be crucified at home by the victims and the relatives of victims of Soviet repressions.

Latvian president who said she will come but just to say there how much a f*ckers Soviets were, here whole speech was a clear insult to Russia.

And you mean the soviets WEREN'T? Get a clue.

In place of Putin I would break any diplomatic relations with Latvia after words she said - "Vobla na gazetke, itd, itd" ****ing *****.

That's why you'll never get to run anything important .

So yeah, those three countries are Russia's best friends and surelly aren't russophobes.

We'd like to be friends. And we can be. All it takes is YOU guys taking a good look at your histroy and saying, look, we've done bad things and we're not proud of them, and promise to not do that again.

[Serb]

Sure, one day we will be freinds...
again. We promise.
