Russia Appreciation Thread

Who cares?

See title. You fail, again.



Have you even read anything by Tolstoy, Dostoevsky or Pasternak? No, you haven't have you - and you call yourself a Russian. What a fkn joke. You're a useful idiot, Stalin's dream. If I had an army of you, I could conquer like the Mongols; typical Russian.

And as far as being a "real Russian" goes, my friend would kick "your woman"'s ass intellectually, physically and sideways so you better fkn recognize. She ain't no half-slav, wannabe Georgian passing for a Baltic (with bleach and makeup) russian... she bout half-Eskimo kick ur ass in the winter Russian (and German).

LOL

And you say so without any idea what I have ever read in my lifetime or who my wife is. You basically have no f***ing idea about me and her.
She is an art expert, you dummy (and an a very talented artist, I must add) . And I love Russian classic.

[Ecofarm]

I got your art right here.

[Serb]

Who said I am an artist? I'm an engineer.

what kind?

[Serb]

Automatics, telemechanics and communication on railroad transport according to my university diploma. But I work for ISP since 2000.

[Boris Godunov]

Definitely the best anthem in the world.

[Serb]

No wonder. It's Stalin's anthem, created during the most dramatic period of our history when our only existence was at stake.

Existence at stake? Only Nappie, some guy before him and Hitler ever thought Russia's existence was at stake. Then they met winter. I find it hard to believe a fourth person can honestly think that Russia's 'existence' was or is at stake. Stalin was a useful idiot and his people paid in blood.

Some day I'm going to take a vacation in Russia and ride the train all the way across that glorious country while regaling my new-found comrades in the train cars with story of the frozen wilderness I hail from.

Well, then you are an idiot.
The anthem was created during the Great Patriotic War. Within one night, a new year night of 1943/1944. And anyone who thinks that Hitler had no intention to destroy Russia is an idiot, by definition. The music is still the same and the author of lyrics Sergey Mikhalkov (the father of Oskar winner Nikita Mikhalkov) is the author of all versions of lyrics for all Russian anthems since the original Stalin's anthem he wrote that night in 1943.

Then they met winter

Then they met Russians, not winter.

Ok, you caught me. I thought your nationalistic "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!11!!" rap came from Stalin times... you said something about Stalin in regard to the anthem?

Truth is, I don't really know or give a crap about russia at all (except that woman and some authors).

The first version of the anthem is widely known as Stalin's anthem here (since he was the chief editor and the executive producer). When he has gone lyrics have been changed several times (but the author of the lyrics was still the same, including the current version), but music remained untouched. The author of the all versions of lyrics has died last year at his 90+ something. He was a famous Russian poet, mostly famous for his poems for kids. That's ironic.
And you won't find any "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE" rap in any version of the lyrics no matter how hard would you try.

No sh!t, Sherlock (c). David Floyd.
