Russia by the Numbers

Sometimes, numbers paint a picture of a people better than words:

69%

Share of the Russian population that believes the Pussy Riot sentence, two years in jail, one at hard labor for young mothers singing in church, was appropriate or too lenient.

64%

Share of the Russian population that voted for Vladimir Putin

63%

Share of the Russian population that supports Internet censorship.

    Most welcome stats! The Russians stand up to the West most admirably; hence your raging and fuming, dolts.

    And a most tantalizing question: How many citizens of the Russian Federation (let alone the entire world population) would be angry at Vladimir Putin and the Russian state if LaRussophobe’s web site was shut down and its staff SHOT down? Take that.

      We will never know, kleine schwaine/russkiye barakhlo, how many people will be angry at putin,.. In case you haven’t noticed, putin is totally ignored by the West, especially in the USA, sorry we reacted reacted with disbelief and sorrow to putin’s another insane flying crane episode, where was whoof, whoof mr pieskov, to tame putin’s obvious insanity…

        Why do you always speak on behalf of the West and the USA? What the hell do you have in common with the West and the USA, you smoking ball of shit.

          I know, I know, dearlie, it hears badly to see russia totally humiliated – you should see the jokes in the USA about putin’ s birthday – read my lips – russia is at the level of iran, venezuela, moldova and co. IT WILL NEVER CHANGE…

            I’m not talking about Russia with you, skunk turd. I’m asking you two simple questions. Why do you always speak on behalf of the West and the USA? What the hell do you have in common with the West and the USA?

            • larussophobe ⋅

              Why don’t you ask “Manfred” why he always speaks on behalf of Russia? Are you a Russia partisan? What do you have in common with the East and Russia? And why do you violate our comment rules by including profanity in your comments? Are you so stupid and illiterate that you don’t understand how to communicate without profanity? Were you raised by pigs?

                sweetie?

                You have 1 demerit for that.
                Get 3 & I bar you.

                  Did we use profanity? Take your head out of your butt and try to think a little, moron. You can’t bar me, but I can sure bar you. See how it works? Maybe try to make your own blog and see if anyone comments (unlikely) then you can bar them.

              • Rare_F5_Twister ⋅

                What rules? Where? I don’t see any rules posted on this blog. If profanity is forbidden, why don’t you demand everyone to watch his/her Ps and Qs, including yourself in the first place?

                  • larussophobe ⋅

                    We never, ever use profanity, you lying jackass.

                    • Rare_F5_Twister ⋅

                      Those rules are posted on a different webpage, which I don’t read and which is not even active.

                      Restricting your vocabulary to some mild forms doesn’t mean anything. If you routinely call your opponent “illiterate/unthinking/ braying/raving jackass” that’s patently and utterly offensive and insulting, and thus it is profane.

                      And you don’t answer my question: why don’t you demand that everyone watches his Ps and Qs in comments to this blog.

                  I don’t believe it Manturd! for once you are 33.3% right. Wonders will never cease. By this I refer to your first paragraph, namely “I was raised by pigs and no doubt I am stupid and illiterate too, my precious little Kim.”

                  Your second paragraph “Why do you think I’m attracted to this blog?” I will also answer gladly, “because you are in fact ‘stupid’ my darling wasted space commo.”

                  As for your last paragraph ManTurd? Wrong again!!! (extra exclamation marks included for added emphasis) as per your usual modus operandi. Believe me comrade, LaRussophobe does not deserve trash like you and Twister of the truth, who vomit their propaganda out ad nauseum. But then ours is a free society, where any imbecile can get on his soap box and voice his version of Utopia – so unlike your hell hole of a communist Russia.

                  It makes me feel a little “uneasy” that YOU apparently know everything about my antecedents, Bohdan. Have I come across a close relative, perchance? If that is you, it does explain some weird peculilarities indeed.

                      What a pity MCC that ManTurd was not on his beloved Russian plane. A great pity, because if he had it would have done humanity a great service.

                      You and I know he is solid bone from ear to ear, which explains his backwardness and blind belief in the greatest murdering dictatorship – communism – that has befallen humanity, but sadly he is not that dense as to fly his beloved “Aeroflop.” Yes indeed what a pity, but I will continue to ardently hope that maybe one day he will relent and fly his beloved ‘Aeroflop,’ whose unwritten motto must be ‘the safety of the passengers comes LAST!!!’

              Dearie, dearie, calm down, you might get a stroke and, obviously you don’t want to end up in the russian hospital unless you are suicidal…

      • Manfred Steifschwanz ⋅

        Dear Readership, in case you haven’t noticed:

        mccusa cares A LOT about Russia and Putin, and this for the following two reasons.

        a) PMD = Pshek Mental Disorder, the most typical manifestation of which is anti-Russian hatred fuelled by deep down inferiority complex and exacerbated further still by futile, silly imitations of Western arrogance.

        b) His much beloved West ALSO cares a lot about Russia and Putin. The warmongering Western cabal and its financial institutions are bound for total disaster, much thanks to the aborted looting of Russia — to wit, thanks to Vladimir Putin.

        So when brave, little super-duper mccusa blathers about how “his” West “ignores Putin”, it’s about as convincing as Kim Zigfeld’s noises about Sharapova: Inferiority complex to the n:th degree.

        • MCC ⋅

          You should really understand the logic behind the fact tha the USA totally igonre russia – the USA treats russia according to its stand in the world – a third world country, with dying population, rotting nukes that are becoming more and more dangerous for russia. Russia is at the same level as iran, n. korea, island of nauru or venezuela – so shut up get in line and don’t speak unless you are spoken to…

          • Manfred Steifschwanz ⋅

            Predominantly diagnosis (a) as per above, especially the concluding part regarding futile, silly imitations of Western arrogance. But, in reality, (a) and (b) are closely interrelated. The next paragraph provides an outline of how (b) enters the picture.

            As the West’s financial mess only gets worse, so too does its insatiable war drive, and the crisis spirals ever further out of control. It’s no accident our silly Pshek mentions Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela alongside Russia — that’s perfectly ready-made staple food for firm believers in the Western Corporate Media. And — needless to say — this line-up of enemies is no accident either. The aforesaid countries stand firm against George Soros, the Rothschilds, the Bilderbergs, and their financial conglomerates backed up by NATO’s mercenaries (Pshekistan, for instance) and the Corporate Media. So, yes, the West does care about Russia indeed; hence mccusa does too.

            mccusa, for his part, is just too stupid, lazy, and ignorant to keep track. This is arguably consistent with his PMD outlined in (a). Today, we also have Syria and several Latin American countries undergoing national liberation from Western imperialism.

          • Manfred Steifschwanz ⋅

            Psychobabbling Psheks seem to care MANY times more about Russia than the rest of the Universe combined 😀

        • MCC ⋅

          They just removed the picture of sharapova from Evian water ads – it simply didn’t work – Americans find her devoided of any sex-appeal, charm, or beauty – she is just a simple woman from siberia with that revolting shriek …It might work in russia though send poor maryusia back to siberia….

          • Manfred Steifschwanz ⋅

            Sorry, mccusa. There is just no way for you to worm out of the question raised by Rare_F5_Twister:

            Why do you always speak on behalf of the West and the USA? What the hell do you have in common with the West and the USA?

        • MCC ⋅

          Russia was dropped like a hot potatoe by the West, especially by the USA; hence the total humiliation for russia that is now trying to go back UP – READ MY LIPS THERE IS NO PLACE ON THE TOP FOR YOU AMONG CIVILIZED NATIONS UNLESS RUSSIA FINALLY AND TOTALLY DISINTEGRATE. There are some encouraging signs though; China retaking Siberia stolen by Russia only hundred years ago – from a point of view of chinese history it is just a minute – this is being corrected in front of our eyes. And all those ‘low grade’ civil wars all over the non-russian countries under temporary russian control, with their ltotal rejection of everything russian looks also promissing..Don’t you agree kleine schwaine???

          • Manfred Steifschwanz ⋅

            The whole world agrees with its brightest Pshek, mccusa. Why do you keep asking? PMD is God’s gift to Pshekistan.

            • MCC ⋅

              Here are the God’s gifts to Russia – my favorite – the first female reigning tsarina, Catherine the 1st – Marta Skowronska; born to Polish Catholic peasant family – by the way, she was also a hooker – the second wife of Peter the Great. Apparently she was a pretty good ‘tzarina’ loved by her russian subjects…Other God’s gifts to russia are obvious; Ivan the Terrible; he ‘liberated’ russian tribes from the mongol yoke and immediately slaughtered 1/3 of all russians -a true russian hero. Lenin, Stalin and every communist ruler after them – all together – destroy about 100 million russians – truly a God’s gift to russia. I can see that putin is joining those ranks……he will have to open the gulags’ gates and march the russian population there…

    there were authors in 19th century who identificated russians as Turans – european looking but asiatic (awful, negative, terrible) by character nomadic ethnicity whose craddle lies between Iran and Ural. it is said russians can grow in numbers fast but incapable evolve morally

    • kulen ⋅

      Ethnical russian “slavs” are about as asiatic as other people in central/northern Europe – look up any serious dna study. And who gives a flying fuck what some kraut in the 19th century -thought- of the russians? Like really? I know some Kola russians in Northern Norway, no problems with them at all. Shit, why do i even bother replying, you even admit trolling the web on a regulary basis.

      • siber_troll ⋅

        we see slavyan states in Eastern Europe, good enough countries with much more comfort and freedom. in Russia slavs, germans, finns and others easily mixed with huge turanic ethnicity cause of close phenotype. but turans are not slavs or germans it is separate nation with its own covered history. by some reason they prefer disguise origin with ukrainian roots (medieval Kievan Rus).

      • MCC ⋅

        kulen, russian women were raped by the mongols for about 5 hundread years – it makes russians half mongol…Look at the ‘missing links’ faces of lova tolstoy, good writer, but looking like a baboon…and those mongol folds everywhere,.all over russia……

        • siber_troll ⋅

          it is right for Ukraine and couple other states like Belorussia (translates as “White Russia”). for russians marriage with mongol conquerors was honour. 30% family names of russian aristocracy has tatar-mongol roots. even with my primitive knowledge of mongol language i have translations as “Speedy”, “Drunkard”, “Black”, “Iron”, “Uncle”, “Lame”, “Bad Head”, “Quiet”, “Horseman”, etc.

          • MCC ⋅

            Here are the two eamples: Prince Felix YUSUPOV – it is obvious that his origins are muslim and mongols. The other perfect example is russin composer Sergey Rahmaninov – son of Rahman – look carefully at the picture of Rahmaninov, and especially at his eyes…

            • kulen ⋅

              MCC, non of these people look mongol or muslim. They look European. Do you even know what a russian/mongolian mix looks like? Viktor Tsoi is a good exempel, being of half russian and half mongol decent and he does not look like a ethnical russian at all. There is far more asian haplotypes in people from finland and people from the balticum then in russians. Are they too asians?

              • MCC ⋅

                kulen, the russian amoebas have major identification problem – they keep inventing their origins; e.g.wargengians, scandinavians – this is just wishful thinking – reality is simple russians are 50% russian, 50% mongols…..

          Yes I know the answer and you are trying to avoid answering my question by talking complete rubbish. Russia by far is an innocent child in comparison with the other empires. How about “true civilized” Late Victorian Holocausts and other atrocities when Great Britain killed 30 – 60 million people in India and around the world? How about conquer of Ireland? How about the mass genocide of Native Americans by the Spanish? How about the other countless colonial atrocities?

                  • Rare_F5_Twister ⋅

                    Bohdan, I hate the need to educate you but “back off” means “move or stay away from me”. I have the full right to ask you to stay away from me anytime and at anyplace be it either a blog, a forum or a public place.

                    I wonder what exactly you meant when you labeled me a parasite and blight on the American nation. I’m not on welfare, I have a job and I pay taxes. I pay the US taxes but since I spend most of the time outside of the US I don’t enjoy all the privileges of being an American resident. I’d been working in Central Asia, in Uzbekistan until they kicked us off after the 2005 Andijan massacre. Now I’m in Moscow. Apart from that I’m involved in tornado chasing from time to time and recently volunteered to help clean the mess after 2011 tornado outbreak with six devastating EF5 twisters, the absolute world record so far. If I parasite then who does not?

                    Over the years I’ve mastered the Russian language and almost got rid of my accent. I‘ve found that the Russian nation consists of brilliant, brilliant people, and those Russian folk haters like mcc, siber_troll, mirthless ming are the enemies of mine. If you just hate Putin, Stalin and Communism I have no problem with you (I don’t say that Putin is good OK?), but then why do you at all mess with me and why do you interfere in my quarrel with the Russian folk haters? At the other had if you are the Russian folk hater too, sorry then I will show you no respect. Do you have a rock solid position on that? I can’t puzzle out if you do.

                    • Bohdan ⋅

                      Having asked reasonably, I will answer your comments in a similar reasonable manner, comrade.

                      Firstly and most importantly you “do not, and I repeat, DO NOT have the right to ask/command me “to stay away from you anytime and any place be it either a blog, a forum or a public place”!!! as both you and I are guests on this wonderful and magic blog of “larussophobe”!!! All that is required of you and I is to comply with HER RULES OF CONDUCT. This simple rule also applies to a forum and or a public place, IF it is open to public debate as this blog is. All that is required is a civil way of talking and or debating – without the physical side that is so common with communism, especially when they are losing the debate.

                      Secondly, I am not a Russian folk/nation hater!!! PERIOD!!! as I have several friends and like you I do not have any problems as such – God Almighty, have they suffered over the years. Furthermore I do not hate “Putin, Stalin and communism”! Honestly I don’t, BECAUSE I DETEST this scum, that is a big blot on humanity.

                      My detestation is as a result of reading and studying this evil in depth and as a result of both my parents and all my friends experiences at the hands of this murderous doctrine that enslaves the majority, but gives the outright minority of these “paladins” a life of luxury at the expense of the downtrodden majority.

                      Hence if you support this mass murderer Stalin and his evil communism, and Putin – who is also a murderer and a communist, but of course nowhere near the league of his idol, Stalin who murdered in the 10’s of millions.

                      I too have been in this real world of Russia (once only) and Ukraine (several times) to see how the average ex-comrade lived and existed in this “communist paradise – not” to be able to differentiate between capitalism and communism as it effects its humble citizens. Sure both of these systems have problems, but when compared to each other, capitalism pales into insignificance.

                      Hope this helps you “puzzle me out,” because in a nutshell, I cannot but help and think how far ahead both Russia and Ukraine and its people could have been, had they been run democratically and honestly. In which case the mind simply boggles at that thought.

        Anolther russian poet; or, just manfred, rare.f5-twister, auriga and many more share the same KGB DNA. It is official then; madness in russia reached about 90% of russian population, so 80 million out of 90 million of russians are raving mad; drunk and high on afghan heroin and russian ‘krokodil’, courtesy of friendly Afghanistan; and the rest 50 millions of non-russians just waiting for total collapse of the sh#$%t hole called russia…Truly a ‘winning combination’…

  7. ” Russia by far is an innocent child in comparison with the other empires.”

    Post war Russia’s Soviet so-called “Union” is the worst genocidal monstrosity in history, being far worse than nazi Germany, Gengis Khan’s Mongols or Napoleon…

    They destroyed over eighty countries, flooded Africa with assault weapons for primitive tribes, causing hundreds of millions of casualties, their Cuban surrogates, for example, pressured the Ethiopian Dergue(soviet)
    to clean up student protest over socialist brainwashing…next day, 20,000 small children where kidnapped at 3 AM and murdered in front of their parents…

    The Cubans killed most of Africa’s elephants for the ivory…same depredations in South America…the current narco traffic is a joint Soviet-Cuban operation by Che Guevara and the KGB of Pooty Poot Poutine…nobody mourn the Soviet nightmare except old decrepit former soviet butchers like mon freddie the idiot!

      If “psychically inadequate” means “poorly receptive to Russophobia” — no problem. My mental abilities allowed me, after all, to master physics, maths, computer science, and foreign languages. Russophobia is for lesser creatures.

      The entire West buries us for 12 centuries and we are still alive!!! And before you will continue to discuss Russia .Read a very large and interesting book. “History of Russia”. It’s not interesting to talk with people who thinks that Georgia is a part of Russia !!!!

      • siber_troll ⋅

        secret for me why are you mentioning Georgia. but there is weak trait 60% of georgians liked Ivanishvili’s propaganda and sentimental “Georgian dream”. fools will fall under onslaught of Evil Empire

        let’ s make some historical corrections – 12 century ago russia DIDN’T EXIST, There was Kyiv russia – which was ALWAYS Ukraine. Your pathetic, barbaric histori started with ivan the terrible in the 17 century and since than, the West was trying to civilized russia – develop respect to basic human right, teach you democracy, and tolerance. Of course, the West failed – you cannot civilized amoebas….

    Folks, keep in mind that mccusa’s posts here are, in fact, the very best and brightest as well as the most sophisticated contributions that could ever have been made by a Pshek. True, this fact doesn’t quite absolve Psheks from the status of outright imbeciles with regard, for instance, to the Russians. Rather, one could draw a parallel to the world of music. The gap between Russians and Psheks then readily translates to the, well, “contrast” between Viennese Waltz and Gangsta Rap. Either genre has a receptive audience all right. What’s interesting is the effort, talent, and longevity pertaining to a piece of either sort 🙂

    Q: How can you tell Psheks don’t care about Russia?

    A: For crying out loud — they fume with rage forever screaming “We don’t care about Russia, we don’t care about Russia, we don’t care about Russia…”

      Every European knows that Russian/Mongolian hords have to be pushed beyond the Urals Mountains, otherwise the European Culture based on the Greek and Roman glorious traditions will be in mortal danger. There are some bright spots though; e.g., China retaking its stolen territory – SIBERIA – from Russia without single shot….putting russia in line….

    Polacks are absolutely right…modern russian is unintelligible gobbeldygook spewed by a bunk of drunks shooting crocodil…

    People out there(EVERYBODY!) started by speaking pure Polish…then…listen to a real linguist, not a drugged up hippie like Mon Freddie:

    Russian, Belarussian, and Ukrainian all belong to a subfamily of the Slavic languages we call “East Slavic.” Historically, that means that they split off from the rest of Slavic together, and separately from West Slavic (Czech, Polish, Slovak, etc.) and South Slavic (Bosnian-Serbian-Croatian, Bulgarian, Slovene etc.) Now, since Moscovy was the most powerful state after the fall of Kiev from prominence, the Orthodox Church in Russia became the most prominent in the East Slavic lands. The language of the Orthodox Church was Old Church Slavonic, a South Slavic language that is, roughly speaking, the ancestor of Bulgarian. As a result of this, Russian acquired a crap ton of South Slavic vocabulary and morphology, whereas Ukrainian and Belarussian, which were considered to be peasant dialects of Russian until the early 20th century, did not. Therefore, these two tend to be more “pure” east slavic, whereas russian has considerable south slavic influence (ex. “language” is “mova” in Ukr. and Bel. but “yazyk” in russian, compare BCS, Bulg. “yezik” etc.) As a result, speakers of Belarussian tend to understand Ukrainian better than speakers of Russian understand Ukrainian. Belarussian and Ukrainian also have, I think, undergone more polish influence than R., which may explain why they are more intelligible with polish than russian is, although I don’t know for sure. WRT to belarussian and ukrainian being more similar to old east slavic, I think that’s true, since it tends to be, as I said, more “pure” east slavic, rather than russian, since it was somewhat relexified by OCS. Ruthenian (also called Rusyn)

    Old Rus language was very close to Polish and Old Rus chronicles if there are tranliterated on latin there are possible to read by modern Polish, for Russians it is not so easy. For example this is text from Old Rus chronicle from 11 century: >>”W leto 6489 ide Wołodimer’ k Liachom’ i zaja grady ich: Peremyszl’, Czerwien’, i iny grady jeże sut’ do sego dnie pod’ Rusiu. W sem że letie i Wiaticzi pobiedi i wiezłożi na nia dan’ ot niaouga, jakoże otci (otec) jego imasze.<>W lato 6489 idzie Włodzimierz ku Lachom i zajął ich grody ich: przemyśl, Czerwień, i inne grody jakież są do tego dnia pod Rusią. W tym że lecie i Wiatyczów pobił i włożył nań daninę od niego, jakąż ojciec jego brał.<< You see how similar is MODERN Polish to 11 century Old Rus language?

        Listen carefully pedantic Manturd!!!

        ming…’s paragraph cum sentence was nearly 100% accurate. OK, so his “where” should have been ‘were,’ so what – no big deal, but he has in the past said that English is not his first language of use. Seeing that he lives in Canada, maybe French is? But again “so what” he gets the important point over – so unlike you, who tends to mumble and keeps on shooting himself in the foot – ad nauseum.

        And, talking about “Slow learner, eh?” you should know about this point from experience, as you have admirably proved this fact about yourself most admirably!!!

        ManTurd = one hell of a wasted and pedantic space, comrade.

        PS You should open up an English teaching ‘centre’ (English spelling) in the perma frost area of far northern Sweden. But be careful as you may be trampled to death in the mad/wild stampede for placement in your classes. Ha,ha,ha.

      The only really well paying for a russki in sweden is the maitre d’ at one of the hundreds of brothels in Sweden that only use russian girls, I think I may have worked out why he knows a little bit of many of the european languages he has to tell the customer how much bareback @n@l costs and then explain to the girl what she must do

        • Bohdan ⋅

          So true! Soviet Russia is the only place in the world that they will pay you for a blown light bulb.

          Why? Because they then go with it, into a Government building and wait with it until no one is in sight. They then swiftly unscrew a good working bulb and replace it with the blown one – fact of real life that brainless Russophiles like ManTurd – the vegetable swede and Cockroachpiss, the Ozark mountains redneck, ignore on account of their impaired reasoning facility.

          The Soviet citizen’s rational is that since the Government steals from them in the first place, they in turn steal from them (the Government)!

    Stierlitz is a fictional Soviet intelligence officer, portrayed by Vyacheslav Tikhonov in the popular Soviet TV series Seventeen Moments of Spring:

    Stierlitz opened a door. The lights went on. Stierlitz closed the door. The lights went out.
    Stierlitz opened the door again. The light went back on. Stierlitz closed the door. The light went out again.
    “It’s a refrigerator,” concluded Stierlitz.

    Stierlitz approaches Berlin. The city is veiled in smoke from the fires.
    “Forgot to switch off the iron again,” thought Stierlitz with slight irritation.[1]

    Stierlitz wakes up to find out he has been imprisoned.
    “Who got me? Which identity should I use?” he wonders. “Let’s see. If they wear black uniforms, I’ll say I’m Standartenführer Stierlitz. If they wear green uniforms, I’m Colonel Isayev”.
    The door opens and a policeman in a blue uniform comes in saying, “You really should ease up on the vodka, Comrade Tikhonov!”

    Poruchik (Lieutenant) Rzhevsky is a cavalry (hussar) officer, a straightforward, unsophisticated, and immensely rude White Russian:

    Natasha Rostova asks in a romantic voice: “Poruchik, do you remember your first teacher?”. Rzhevsky: “My first one was a nurse”.

    Poruchik Rzhevsky is putting his riding boots on and is about to take leave of a charming demoiselle he had met the previous evening. “Mon cher Poruchik,” intones the siren, “aren’t you forgetting about the money?” Rzhevsky turns to her and says proudly: “Hussars never take money!” Gusary deneg ne berut!

    Kniaz Andrei Bolkonski asks Poruchik Rzhevsky: “Tell me, Poruchik, how did you come to be so good with the ladies? What is your secret?” – “It’s quite simplement, mon Prince, quite simplement. I just come over and say: ‘Madame, would you like to fuck?'” – “But Poruchik, you’ll get slapped in the face for that!” – “Oui, some of them slap, but some of them fuck.”

    Rzhevsky narrates his latest adventure to his Hussar comrades. “…So I am riding through this dark wood and suddenly see a wide, white…” — Hussars, all together: “…arse!” — “Of course not! A glade full of chamomiles! And right in the middle there is a beautiful white…” — Hussars encore: “…arse!” — “How vulgar of you! A mansion! So I open the door and guess what I see?” — Hussars, encore: “An arse!” — Poruchik, genuinely surprised: “How did you guess? Did I tell this story before?”
