1. Do you like Russia?

Destroy your government, don't let them rob you

1. Kinda
2. Remove corruption, I don't care if we will have full style REAL democracy, or state dictatorship like in China, but corruption in government and business needs to go.

If you are not one of the elite, you will always be a pleb, unless you move out of Russia.

>Democracy
let this meme die.

This. Coming soon our empire filled with riches.

1. I don't like or dislike it. Rather, I respect it.

2. I don't know, but removing systemic corruption would be a good start.

As I understand, Medvedev tried initiating a measure to eliminate corruption, but it doesn't seem to have worked out.

You know what you must do

Cuck

1. I like how you're second only to Israel in rustling leftist jimmies.

2. Just restore the monarchy already. Oligarchy makes you look Latin America-tier.

As I said, I don't care what it is - as long as it doesn't fuck over hardworking people, doesn't fuck up their private lives and corruption is eliminated.

Right now, levels of corruption are so insane, that pretty much any Police Colonel/General in Russia has multi-million dollar capital.

The head of anti-corruption state department was caught with 8 billion RUB in CASH at his house, that is 124mil USD.

Again, in fucking cash in his house, how much he has in real estate, in offshores, kept by his relatives - who knows. His fortune might be more than 1bil USD.

Life in Russia is like Onion news, when head of anti-corruption state department is like this.

Don't get me started about some government officials who bought a private plane to go to their "dacha" in Europe every couple of week, as well as send their dogs to different parts of Europe for "Dog shows" and for breeding purposes.

Each such round trip is more than 80,000EUR in expenses, on top of 57mil EUR for plane itself.

I like Russia. I think it's been helped enormously by Putin and that, in three generations of work, it can be ready for real American values (notice: our current government has no concept of these). I think that IMF shock treatment and trying to just instantly demand another America are intellectually ridiculous and practically disastrous ideas.
The globalists swallowed their own propaganda about America being nothing, having no culture of its own; thus they concluded that everything would be easy. Actually we had a very specific and sophisticated philosophical culture coming out of English common law tradition, to which we owe our every success. Russia cannot hope to make the changes that the liberals talk about instantly. It must develop an equivalent to the literate, armed, responsible and philosophically engaged craftsmen and shopkeepers who were the basis of our Revolution.

1. Sure.
2. See

He is the head thief.

Check out his "summer residence", small part of his real estate. (It has drone footage)

youtube.com/watch?v=nMVJxTcU8Kg

1. Not really.
2. Don't ally yourself with faggots like North Korea and Iran. Remove Putin from his dictatorship. Ally with the US.

Yes.

Make Putin an actual monarch.

Ditto this. Just get it over with and name him Secretary General.

I know, my friend's brother-in-law retired from some sort of police at the ripe age of 30, and took some guy's private company as a retirement gift.

You know what to do.

1. its history yes but not its current form
2. go Duterte on the corrupt and ban vodka

memes aside, I like Russia in the sense that it's on the receiving end of globalist bullshit, enemy of my enemy and all that. The language, history and culture is cool, can't agree with it's politics, but no one can deny that Putin isn't the best at what he does.

1 : YES.
2 : Keep on trucking brother!

1. indifferent, putin definitely isnt my favorite guy but he's right about globalism. Girls are beautiful. A lot of very highly educated people in the cities.

2. needs to annex some beaches or get some global warming so those girls have a place to sunbathe topless. The orthodox thing needs to get redpilled, and not in the ussr kinda way. Needs culture of failure / entrepreneurship

1. Yes.
2. Kill Nikita Sadkov or ship him to America or Israel or Germany or Hohol Ukraine. Also elect Donald Trump so America can stop sanctioning and trying to destroy Russia.

In every single putinboo thread I've ever seen on Cred Forums, I can't remember even a single russian poster agreeing with western posters who say stuff like "russia is the savior of the white race." Honestly, russians only seem to take pride in their country when you attack their culture or country.

Is russia really that bad? And if so, how are putin's approval ratings so goddamn high?

this senpai

>1. Do you like Russia?
neutral
>2. How to make Russia great again?
get rid of corruption/kleptocracy

1. I love it significantly more than it was back in 98.
2. Tax alcohol more, fight corruption with harsher punishments, put more money into low cost housing projects and get more Russian (not foreign) NGO's involved in such projects, change immigration policy even more (make it even harder. I understand it was recently changed to make it hard, but make it harder so those shitskins from the balalakastan dont flood in even more), increase schools contribution into R&D even more.

National socialism becomes government.

In my opinion Russia should own former Russian Empire countries because they have little cultural and historical significance, sometimes way less than Russia's own inner autonomous regions.

And them force Muscovite culture, religion, ethnicity to assimilate them like China does with Manchuria and Tibet.

I also think country shouldn't have Muslims but there are so many Muslims (12% Russians I think) and many are even high officials and military so it would be difficult to destroy those... But if I could, everyone would be Orthodox.

Then try and make friends with EU and USA... If that don't work then make many strong friends in Asia like China, give Kurils to Japan, Middl East, South Asia, etc.

>Medvedev
Lol, he is pathetic. So pathetic in fact that his puppet master Putin cancelled most of his prominent reforms (lowering retirement age, simplified registration of non-profit orgs, even time zone changes).
It was better back then though.

So you mean make it Soviet again

Polak, how can I repatriate to Poland? My great grandmother was polish, but apparently it's not enough. Although I am not sure how she ended up in USSR, but my great grandfather was captured German, so they both got sent to "work camps" and met there. My stupid parents didn't move to germany when they had a chance for "repatriation". Now I am stuck in this corrupt shithole.

Honestly, I love Russia, but hate everything about way of life and government. Degenerates everywhere, people without morals or "honor". So government just represents the people it governs, it will take tens of years for things to change, even if suddenly things will get pushed towards something better now.

I am afraid, I will be too old or dead by that time.

soon

1. Yeah, it's cool.
Bad guys in conflict with the US since forever.
Tsars and such, have cool history, weird building like the kremlin, cute girls that dig you for your monies, created the worst communist state on earth, defeated the nazis, klokov makes me hard, no homo, and a long etc.
Sadly its full of junkies and drunks errywhere, and also nazis that beat them, many muslims from chechenya and such that suck, shitty kid gangs that listen to hard bass and shitty techno while squatting and lots of crap like that
2. Don't know man, theres probably no solution

Kekd. THIS!

1. Yes, me and my family admire your countries nationalism, we hold great respect for you guys.

2. Take over Europe and and fix your little problem with Putin

1. No

2. Kill all Slavs and occupy the country with Western Europeans.

Love Russia. Looking fwd to being alloes when Trump wins.

Pls ask putin to kill soros.

Only Russian liberals use this site. All the nationalists go to 2ch and solely speak Russian.

The Soviet Union's original ideas could have worked If it wasn't for a certain Georgian midget Super Mario look alike

90% of Russian people are utter scumbags. Loud, aggressive, no self awareness to how they are acting.

Fix it by joining the rest of civilisation in the 21st century, stop pretending the Cold War is still happening.

Seriously, went on holiday recently and there were half Russian and half Chinese. Russians were obnoxious and rude the entire time and tried to start fights and arguments with the Chinese, desperate to try and assert themselves. Chinese were typical Chinese rude but passive.

You need more niggers like the greatest country on earth.

>Destroy your government, don't let them rob you

nice try polack shill

1. Yes
2. I dunno

>1. Do you like Russia?
Yes. Russian lads are always chill as fuck and they know how to play hockey.

>2. How to make Russia great again?
Beat the corrupt as fuck USA to submission and bring about world peace.

Serb knows what's up.

Just replace "Russian" with "British" and this makes perfect sense. Especially the Cold War part

Or another option - you are talking shit, and people who go to 2ch are too stupid to even attempt at learning 2nd language, hence represent degenerates who propagate corruption and shit around them.

I am pretty much a nationalist. But government banned both nationalistic parties and liberal parties from the most recent election in parliament.

Yeah I like you guys

youtu.be/U06jlgpMtQs

Write a letter to Polish embassy and maybe you will be lucky and get karta Polaka or simply marry a Polish women

Russia seems alright, people are either really nice or complete assholes

How to fix? Get rid of Putin. Like him all you want, he's the worst choice for Russia at the moment. He's corrupt, and will do anything to stay in power whilst people are suffering under him. People are censored and scared to speak out. We need a Russian president who will be friendly to the west and trade. Russia will gain money and will flourish.

He's literally the best choice for Russia right now.
If he goes now only bad things can happen. Either the Russian jews completely take over or, even worse, the globalist jews and greedy corporations will exploit and destroy Russia.

>But government banned both nationalistic parties and liberal parties from the most recent election

What the fuck? and no riots? nothing? seriously Russia?

1.yes
2. Gibz me citizenship.

From my textbook with love. What does it mean? Book says fondness, Ivan.

Wait shit nevermind, thought you were referring to love. How do you say America then, Ivan?

>I am pretty much a nationalist

Pro-tip liberal, saying you're "pretty much" something means you're "not" that something. It's even more obvious that you're not a nationalist since you're calling Russians who don't speak another language stupid. As if being more cosmopolitan is objectively good, you just keep adding more proof.

>The Russian government is good.

Sure, change hurts, but that comes with any change. It will suck for Russia for a couple of years, but they would come back stronger than ever.

Nationalistic parties on the grounds of "paзжигaниe нaциoнaльнoй poзни", not sure how to accurately translate it, something like "instigating ethnic tensions".

Liberals just got their leaders sued on boggus charges which prevented them from being elected as members of parliament. Even their head - Navalniy, went to EU humans rights court which recognized ruling as unlawful by international law. But government doesn't give a fuck.

That would be more correct

The more the cuck liberals in my country piss me off the more I love Russia.

>If he goes now only bad things can happen. Either the Russian jews completely take over or, even worse, the globalist jews and greedy corporations will exploit and destroy Russia.
Who would have thought that destroying the opposition, healthy competitive political climate and making the country rely on its leader that much is a shit long-term strategy.

>>The Russian government is good.
Not at all implying that. But knowing the current political situation now would be a terrible time for such a change

1. No
2. They're doing much better than they were in the 90s. Maybe they'll be great again if they diversify their economy and hold their ground in Syria (they're already doing that)

1) I know I like the Russian people. But this morbid preoccupation with self-destruction needs to stop. The glorification of drunkeness, the chronic depression, and general self-loathing. Come on guys, try not to be so down and out.

2) To help your country, tone down on the liquor by advocating beer or wine as a substitute. Use the Orthodox Church to call out the widespread corruption at all levels, that will strengthen your confidence in each other. Stop the 'brain drain'. You are losing your brightest minds to other countries and while we're super thrilled to have you, many of these talented individuals would remain if there were an opportunity to build a life on a fair and equal playing field (well, more or less, we have trouble here in the States too). Good luck, our destiny is to be strong allies together, we should not give up on each other.

Im still learning obviously. How do I read or say words with и at the end? My book says that makes it plural, like дeвoчкa and дeвoчки is one of the examples it gives.

It's not that simple in a post communist state. Remember Yeltsin's Russia? Very competitive environment indeed. How did that work out?

any time is a bad time for change

>1. Do you like Russia?
yes

>2. How to make Russia great again?
wage war with US if hillary wins, build relations with US if trump wins (even though this seems impossible now after that syria shit)

Because I am not nationalist, I am just right leaning centrist.

Also there is direct correlation between speaking multiple languages and IQ. I mean I don't want to crash your sweet dreams with reality, but truth is, good ~70% of people in Russia are complete mongoloids and degenerates. I go to work at 7AM, and I already see people drinking that early in the streets. Very common sight, especially at residential neighborhoods. Same people blame everything on Obama, US, EU, everyone but themselves or our government. I see 3-4 cars with stickers like "Fuck Obama" or "Obama is a stupid monkey", on foreign car models like Ford Focus or some KIA. Just seems petty and stupid. Same people keep voting corrupted government in, same people would be as corrupt and steal if they would have connections and would get in position of power.

And that's Moscow, in regions situation is even worse. But I won't try to persuade you if you want to visit Russia. I just think there is a lot of untrue belies about Russia among people on Cred Forums that based purely on government propaganda/tough bad ass image/etc.

>Use the Orthodox Church to call out the widespread corruption at all levels

loool the Russian Orthodox Church is knee deep in corruption themselves

Corruption will never leave Russia, it's in their blood since the Czarist days.

>How do I read or say words with и at the end?
It's an 'ee' sound
>My book says that makes it plural
It does. But in the aforemntioned context it's also used as an indication where something is from I guess.

>you're calling Russians who don't speak another language stupid
He's calling a spade a spade and he's right. In this world, global trade matters and having lots of bydlo around won't help Russia grow even half as fast as China did. Educated populations are a must, ESPECIALLY in a nationalistic society.

1. Absolutely, you guys are awesome

2. I have no idea, maybe if you get even more clay? hope this helps

I do not like Russia.

Putin step down.
Return Crimea.
Stop meddling in U.S. election.
Stop meddling in the Ukraine & Syria.
Stop being homophobic
Return Snowden

It was much less during soviets. I myself spend 6 years studding and working in China.

And for how much west bashes China for being "corrupt", it's pretty much nothing compared to the levels of corruptions in Russia.

...

Kek.

We had our chance. 00s Russia was a blank slate. Russia needed a shepherd, a strong leader, true. But when things stabilized, he didn't want to share his power and wealth. Putin failed to diversify the economy, and now it is in shambles. Not to mention billions, if not trillions of dollars lost to corruption on all levels. At one point he should have been replaced with someone more economy and reform oriented, but he got greedy.

1. No
2. Remove all nukes immediately and hand them over to the U.S.

1. No
2. Submit to Finland and let us annex you so we can make you great again. Like it was when we ruled over you plebs

Yeah Russian has all sorts of odd exceptions
Like sladki for sweet.
Don't think that's plural.

t. cuck lapdog
i respect russia as a rival and an ally
usa and russia should return to a point of cooperation on the global stage, eradicate terror and seek economic prosperity

>70% of any of the people are human trash

That's because you live in a city, a place where human trash loves to congregate. Thanks for your generalization of an entire country based off your morning commute. Perhaps Russia is beyond hope, considering you managed to land a job.

I'm not surprised at your response and understand the argument of institutional hypocrisy. The clergy of both the East and West have soiled their vestments, but that does NOT remove the apostolic teaching authority of the Churches. And despite what you think, enough of the faithful in participation with living such virtue can change the hearts of a nation.

Dumb fag

>Things that never happened
Do you mean when Russian liberated you from being a Swedish cuck and granted you wide autonomy that later led to independence?

I have no quarrels with you, Russia does a lot of good business with us, but the sanctions have fucked up that a little bit. Some of the old folk are still extremely wary/ fearful of you. Your tourists bring good money to us !

>Like it was when we ruled over you plebs
Tatar-Mongol Yoke (1237 – 1480), never forget.

Fix russians.

1. yes

2. Oh boy, uhhhh. Reduce alcoholism, build more domestic industry and generate more/better jobs, and most important get that birth rate up russia need people more than anything

>Things that never happened

No I mean when all the finnic tribes that lived in Russia made Russia great again and then the slavic rapefugees destroyd our great kingdom

Currently listening to this

youtube.com/watch?v=egwG8OXMfKs

Russia may be responsible for my existing .

I was born nine moths after Cuban Missile Crisis.

I am a strong advocate of removing sanctions from Russia and working with you to stabilize Syria and the Middle East.

after that we hammer out a solution for Ukraine and get that settled then we take a vacation for a while..

I grew up pretty much in village and moved to Moscow because I studied hard and got out of that hell hole.

Believe me, in village, the percentage of complete degenerate that are good only for ovens is over 90%.

Complete and utter depression, mixed with alcoholism.

This.

Well, "that bad" needs explaination. Some things you used to hate doesnt exist here (like political correctness, SJW, etc...), though, a lot of things that are normal attributes of an usual lawful society doesnt exist here. Also, many analytics think that our economics could go even deeper to the ass depths at 2017-2018. They also compares our economic system with an economics of some latino-american countries. that means main financial streams flows not from people to the state, but from state to the people. You could guess what does it mean.

>pretty much

And before you open your burger trap hole, yes, I like using "pretty much" a lot and sometimes not correctly.

1. Da
2. take glorious rightful clay

1. DA
2. Help comrade Trump win the presidency of the USSA.

This will usher in a hundred years of friendship between US/USSR, and also together we can kill the New World Order.

You used "pretty much" pretty much exactly the way we would.

>born nine moths after Cuban Missile Crisis.
Paul A. Raschky* and Liang Choon Wang†
Abstract
We exploit the timing of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the geographical variation in
mortality risks individuals faced across states to analyze reproduction decisions. The
results of a difference-in-differences approach show evidence that fertility increased in
states that are geographically closer to Cuba and states with more military installations.
The findings suggest that when facing high mortality risks, individuals might
discount future at an extremely high rate and indulge in reproductive activities.

>pretty much in village
>pretty much

There it is again. What's the work like at the American embassy, if you don't mind me asking? I have to say though, you've been speaking too much Russian lately. Brush up on your native English.

Why was everyone in your village depressed?

Proxy shill detected. Or just deranged putinboo.

I wish I would work job that pays 4-6 times more than I am getting right now. I am currently getting 60k RUB a month, which is decent by Moscow standards, but is around 950USD. With half of it going towards rent.

Plus another burger said I use "pretty much" pretty much as any typical burger (no pun intended).

Ever been to Small Town, USA? There's plenty to like about that kind of life, but also plenty of depressed alcoholics pretty much waiting out the final sunset.

>stop pretending the Cold War is still happening
Oh, its the staple of our propaganda
If people arent told that everyone in the world are against them, that evil West want them dead or enslaved and our natural resources taken - they could start asking "why we are living in so much poverty". Our cleptocratic government doesnt want it.

1. Yes.

2. Remove government regulation from the economy (Within reason) and get rid of all chinese and central asians. Eventually reintegrate Belarus and Ukraine and hopefully the other lost provinces of the Russian Empire once all internal issues are sorted out

Yes, I like poccкй food, engineering and music

Either Putin replaces his politicians with capable ones, or Putin is removed and a new anti globalist leader emerges to lead the country into new era of prosperity

>He's literally the best choice for Russia right now.
+15?
Or, maybe, shills in foreign department at Saint Petersburg, Savushkina st., 55 are paid more per post?

>Oh, its the staple of our propaganda
You do realize the boomers at the highest posts in the West actually do think the Cold War is still going on. And the Jews really do want to take Russia apart.

Is there a business need that you can identify to try to start up your own shop? Maybe that will help with some additional income or better yet, self-sufficiency.

1. I like Russia's nature. I don't like the people much though.

2. No idea. Was Russia ever great? Like great for its citizens too, not just the elites? I just don't see Russia ever becoming democratic. They seem to like strong leaders, not strong institutions or strong civil society.

Yes, local boy done well as yourself. But no one was depressed. No ambition but happy people.

1. I did a year of Russian history and I now admire our Asiatic White Mongol neighbors
2. Peter the great style reformers once again

user you sound like a shill yourself tbqh

Because people drink, alcoholism is real problem in Russia. With huge chunk of population being useless drunks farmlands, fields, etc are unattended which leads to no money. You ever wondered why it's a problem in Russia and Finaland? You can blame environment however you can, but it's Mongolian genes in my opinion and their weak tolerance towards alcohol.

So people who have enough willpower and brain to get educated move out which leaves more degenerates, feeding to endless depression cycle of alcoholism and degeneracy.

Huge majority of agriculture is done with help with immigrant workers. Because locals are too drunk/lazy to do anything, and young people either move out, or stay but in very small numbers, barely enough to fill out managing positions.

1. I love it
2. Need to beat these fucking peasants into order, there is too much corruption and decadence which is a direct result of laws that arent severe enough and too much freedom

Your average American has as much of a grasp on English as you do, of course the moron above would tell you that you were using it correctly, chances are he wouldn't know what he's talking about either.

"Pretty obvious" = not that obvious
"Pretty great" = not that great
"Pretty much" = not that much

As for your misguided worldview, I'll direct you here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_elite

It's the American version of yourself. I think you've been called a fifth columnist enough times to know what you are.

I guess it varies. My small town was impossibly happy at first (the economy was booming), and then it turned into drugs and alcoholism.

>Russians
>weak tolerance towards alcohol.
You wanna know how I know you're a shill?

For fucks sake!
Will you ever stop creating this threads?

Shut up, autist. I got a perfect English score on the SAT before they had to rig the numbers again. I know how to use "pretty much" pretty much a lot better than you do.

Give it National Bolshevism

I am thinking about it, but economy is too unstable. Right now I am saving 250USD each month so I could do something later. I mean the sum is laughable, but it's decent for Russia. Have 30k USD saved up, from before our currency went to shitter. Before all that same salary was 1900USD and I was able to save 500-700 a month.

But you need to have lot of connections to open business in Russia. Then you will have to pay bribes, without them, your business won't work - you will have endless inspections and other shit by government.

Even if you pay bribes and do well, you might compete with "wrong people" who can pay bigger bribes to tank your business.

I am seriously thinking about moving to Czech Republic, where my cousin lives and open small business together when I save up enough money.

I really hope before that some things change for the better so I won't have to live my home, but at this rate, I just don't want to be a cog in a corrupt system that keeps this turd afloat.

My dad works at Nintendo.

The joke is that I'm being sarcastic. I had to make sure it wouldn't go over your head. That's a metaphor.

I see no reasons why people highest western could think that cold war is still going on.
Do not look at media (neither russian or western)
Look at the facts:
Our "elites" have estates and their children in western countries (Europe, UK, USA).
Our "elites" keep their money in western or off-shore banks
One of the nastiest punishment to our "elites" is to forbid them to visit western countries and live there (google about Magnitsky's list)
One of the nastiest punishment to our country is to forbid it to sell our resources (at very low prices, Id say)

So, if your opponent is completely dependant on your decisions - how could the war continue? You're already won.

Our (I mean russian people) main problem that noone (except us) wants we to live wealthy and prosper.

Sure, why not?

Export something besides oil and brides.

Peter the great, Stalin and Putin are based

Damn that sucks. You definitely have a point about different alcohol absorption rates depending on ethnicity. Grain alcohol puts the Chinese in a tailspin! You'd think the Central Asian European combo wouldn't make it so bad but maybe it's dominant. Maybe if y'all substituted 'the sauce' (vodka) for something less potent alcoholism wouldn't be such a widespread problem?

Not trying to be an ass but the question was how to help you guys. Peace out!

If the US went to war with Russia
And Congress reenacted the sedition act (which have withstood constitutional challenges in the past) would the Cred Forums staff be legally obligated to delete pro Russian and pro Putin posts?

Yeah you guys are nice enough, a Russian us alliance would ake us both great again.

>What are all those black haired, brown eyes russians?

Serbia, do I have to pull out map with % of blue eyes in Russia? Geographically it's extremely small part of Russia.

On the contrary, as I said, I am right leaning centrist. I don't even think you are a shill, you just retarded amerifat with some twisted world view.

A better question is, do YOU like Russia? I am more interested in listening to a real Russian's opinion on his country and leader than a bunch of ignorant 15 year old edgelords.

1. Yes, I can get over your commie bullshit.
2. Ban Islam.
Revitalize the Orthodox Church.
Destroy refugees and shoot that Roosh character for defiling Slav women.

>I see no reasons why people highest western could think that cold war is still going on.
Yeah me neither (JEWS) but the fact remains that it's still going on.
>One of the nastiest punishment to our "elites" is to forbid them to visit western countries
Yes and no. Some higher ups are forbidden to go ouside because of Russian security reasons and willingly take those posts.
>to forbid it to sell our resources
Exactly. That's the cold war doctrine the globalists are trying to enforce.
None of these points disprove the West's globalist agenda and brainwashed boomers as their useful idiots.

I was friends with a Mormon for a while who had gotten sent to Mongolia for his mandatory missionary work. His main complaint was that the men all laughed him out because all they cared about was vodka.

(Mormons aren't allowed to drink.)

I laughed hard.

I think the answer would be:
Moderately like the country
Hate almost entire government and corruption vertical
Hate our unability to change anything in it

You must not have a dictionary nearby, else you would know what words like "nationalist" mean before proceeding to call yourself one while illustrating that you're the opposite of one.

Please, believe that I'm a shill. It lets me know you have no argument.

Russian ppl are cause of the exploutation

>% of blue eyes in Russia
Russia has a pretty fucking high percentage m8. Here's your map. Also not having blue eyes desnt mean you're a fucking mongol. Russians barely have any mongoloid genes mixed in unless they are Uralic, and even then it's only specific tribes. You sound like a Finnish shill m8.

As other guy said above - people really hoped and thought things got better in mid 2000s. But after that Putin kinda lost a grip, he got corrupted by power and to stay at the top, he pretty much surrounded himself with his close friends/partners who took control of every sector of economy and government, breeding extremely high level of corruption.

And even if Putin wants to do somethings about it - he can't really. I mean he takes out one, another - then his close circle is gone and his own position is threatened. It's much safer and easier to keep this shit show going, while feeling out pockets with money.

Think about it, with all the bullshit rhetoric - both daughters of Putin don't live in Russia. One lives in Germany, another one is in Holland. I believe they have EU citizenship.

It's very common for children and close family of those corrupted elite to live in EU, US or Canada with those citizenship, so if something happens, those people can't just escape out of the country and live luxury and comfortable life, with so much money that even their grandchildren could live same lifestyle.

((()))

Those are all finns KEK

>both daughters of Putin don't live in Russia. One lives in Germany, another one is in Holland. I believe they have EU citizenship.
Smart strategy.

>both daughters of Putin don't live in Russia. One lives in Germany, another one is in Holland. I believe they have EU citizenship.

Well that puts things into perspective.

Best course of action for russia is destroying their government and intellengcia/education and demand annexation by finland, russia would become greater scandinavia and then anything tge new nordic rusdia conquers becomes scandinavia.

1. Yes

2. Purge the mongs from the government, put the Rus' back in charge, be commerce-focused enlightened monarchy like your North Sea ancestors intended

This. I say Crown him. Shit would be the tits.

A FUCKING LEAF

I would like Russia
But you're retarded communists, paranoid that the west is out to kill you for absolutely no reason what so ever. You own the largest land, and bank of natural resources of any nation on the planet, and all you greedy fucks want is more of Europe. Lol, fuck off slavic piece of shit.

I do, however, enjoy your language. Not so much the Cyrillic piece of shit you write, but listening to it is nice.

They're good eggs (Mormons). Weirdos but in a wholesome super nice way.

Yes.

Kill Putin and reform your government. Keep the conservatism, stop the overly anti western rhetoric, allocate more resources to crime prevention, and most importantly, buddy up with us so we can stop actively fucking with your economy.

>he's literally the best choice for Russia right now
That's because he's made himself the only choice

Indeed. They have their bad eggs like anybody else, but they make me feel good inside.

>SWEDEN YES
Fuck no

>scandinavia
So they should just give up and become massive cucks?

1. Yes
2. Go all Stalin on the leftists. Get some gulags running.

Become finland.

1. Yes, I don't know much about your governing system. From what I have seen you guys are a bit oppressive to decedenters, and put on an obviously bogus show to make it SEEM like a democracy, but to each his own. It seems to be working and you guys are resisting the cuckening that's occurring across the western world. Also I want all your wiminz.

2. , you could probably scale back on the defense and invest in some economy R&D.

Well, you have no idea what you are talking about. I know burger language is not as rich as russian, but if you knew what you are talking about, you would know that nationalism in context of Russia and Russians means ethnicity. Since нaция in Russian is ethnicity, and "nationality" in burger meaning of this word is "гpaждaнcтвo" or citizenship.

Problem with Russia, Russians have little to no control over lot of their our country. It's either Caucasians, some Central Asians or Jews. Few Russians that are at the top are closely entangled through businesses and schemes, or even by blood relations with them.

That's why nationalist parties were banned from elections into parliament. There is no way government would want true russian nationalism get any ground, because "oy vey, Russia is multi-ethnic country, stop being racist goy".

Why the fuck would they just guve up and become another country? This is the most pathetic non-argument I've ever seen.

Big fan desu

Let Putin run shit till 2026, make mummy president after, also let me come in (legally)

>Medvedev spends a large part of his presidency fighting against corruption in Russia
>Putin's second term reverses everything almost overnight
If people want to solve the corruption problem in Russia they need to stop blindly following Putin

1. I've read quite a bit about your country and it's culture, mostly because it's so fascinating and unique in that region. I would describe Russian history as the peasant masses being routinely strangled by clueless intellectuals, and it's very sad. From Alexanders and Nicholas' deadly projects in Siberia to the Russo-Japanese war to the Bolshevik revolution and eveything that followed, so much death and destruction. It has produced a very romantic culture though, rich in history and art, fascinating.

2. Not sure if you can. The people strike me as rigid and stubborn. They will continue to be led by impulsive autocrats it seems, although I do admire Putin to some extent and wish to see a better relationship between our countries. I think a coalition between our countries in removing muslim dogs in the middle east would be a great start.

Was just listening to this song btw.

the russian flag looks like the french flag

Except a massive country with different NATIVE ethnicities cant just become a white Russian only fucking nationalistic paradise all of a sudden.

I love Russia, I love Trump. We should be allies. I hate Hillary.

The story is that Peter the Great took colors from Netherlands flag, when he was studying/traveling there.

Not sure how true is that.

I hope you don't have to leave home either bud. It sounds like networking only gets you in the game, but even if you play the game you could have a trap door open underneath you if you move in on anyone's turn or someone gets jealous of your success. Can you talk to someone who's done what you want to do and ask them advice on how to proceed? Congrats on saving for your capital investment, we call that 'dry powder' here in the US.

Yes it can.

Russia has extensive historical use of sky blue and of red going back to Rurik.

Where can i get a Russian boyfriend as a gook in Jew York? :

>I admire Putin to some extent
Why? He's a mindless paranoid fuck. Russia was on a somewhat good path to becoming good again, Putin turned that shit around day fucking 1. He's an absolute shit leader.

Well, all the non whites are either buddhist Buryats which are usually chill and keep to their own regions. Or Muslim scum. Out of all Muslim scum minorities only Tatars are civilized. Rest are niggers of Russia.

Pretty much majority of all organized crimes is done by those muslim minorities.

1) Yes
2)Needs more Putin

If it loses 60% of its territory because of alienating a major part of the population then sure

lawl

>Pretty much majority of all organized crimes is done by those muslim minorities.
Every time I travel, this is always the same complaint. When will they fucking learn?

1. Learning it right now. On the alphabet though.
2. Find someone who is more of a nationalist than Putin

Stop the хaчи from overbreeding and stop them from having 30 people live in a 2 bedroom apartment

That's possible, I should clarify much of my understanding of Russia is historical and academic, my modern understanding is lacking greatly, hence my opinion of Putin is probably surface level at best. It was my understanding he improved the economy and had high popularity ratings, but that could also be the Stalin-esque manipulation of media that we've seen so much. I also admire his machismo, but I have a soft spot for strongmen like Hitler, Ceasar, Trump, etc.

Who says alienating? You could subsidize the poor and mille until only the land owners are left from the ethnic minorities, and then just overwhelm them ez

>He's an absolute shit leader.
He turned around a dying country. Yeltsin was the truly shit leader. Putin revived the economy in his first few years of presidency.
>mindless paranoid fuck
Not at all. The man is very smart, you cant deny that. He has good reason to be distrustful of the West.

How's tourism in Russia for U.S. citizens?
What are the best places to visit/ avoide?

I've been thinking about a possible vacation within the next five years and I'm trying to see if it's worth my time to learn to speak Russian.

1. Yes
2. Strong trade with U.S. and U.S. territories.

Siberia almost barren in terms of population. Just cut out all Muslim regions of Caucasus (which are smaller Italy, combined) and at least crime rates would probably be cut down in half.

Buryats can stay, as I said, they mainly are chill and are Buddhist. Tatars can also stay.

Checked

He did at first improved things, and they further got improved under Medvedev. But then Putin decided he wasn't done with ruling the country. Went to shit after that.

Quietly increase the Russian minority in the EU and Central Asia

>Or Muslim scum.
Your best course of action would be keeping them in line like Putin is trying to do (but harder) and not inciting a racial divide by following USSRs example in cultural assimilation. Otherwise you will lose those territories.

Everybody I know who has visited Russia had a great time, but they went to the good parts.

1. Yes
2. Putin needs a successor and you need to not go to war with the US so you can bide your time and focus on your economy. Ideally the west needs to abandon cultural marxism so you can be open trading partners with the west. The other options, creating a trading bloc with China and the middle east don't benefit me personally lol.

Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Don't go to residential areas, stay in the center/tourist areas.

>Went to shit after that.
Cant entirely blame Putin for that. He had to stand his ground on the geopolitical arena and was right to do so in my opinion. Granted he should have diversified the economy much more.

1. Yes. I find it to be a interesting country

2. Rid of the corruption and start allying with us because soon or later China is gonna stab them in the back. Russia won't become a 2nd World Power again but, it can prevent from getting engulfed and chained to China's meltdown.

Thanks, man.

I have a friend who's fairly redpilled, but lately he's been trying to tell me how American degeneracy is chiefly the fault of KGB infiltration, as opposed to Jews or American progs instigating it on their own time.

I think this is a libertarian/neocon fantasy, as if the US was some shining beacon of liberty (for whatever that word means) before the evil Ruskies attacked.

Visit St.P, Moscow, if you have time see Novgorod and maybe even Siberia for the wilderness and stuff.

He has no reason to distrust the west. The only thing he should be worried about is shit that deals with business and trade. THAT's fucking it, and that can be negotiated tirelessly.

We don't want a war, something he prides himself on calling out every fucking time he has a meeting, with Russian media and government officials. Nobody wants a war with Russia. But he thinks we do. He could turn Russia into a powerhouse in economy, the shit Russia could offer is vast and they don't give a shit because of their western paranoia. We don't live in the era of cold war anymore, probably because it's a scary fucking era.

The only good leader you listed was Caesar. He was only good because the senate was being fucking retarded. You can govern an entire empire on the powers of just a Roman senate. The senate fought back, and guess what it got them, that's right a new Caesar and a better Rome, until they got too big and failed to adapt to the large size. And corruption on many levels. It's always corruption that fucks up a nation, LIKE FUCKING RUSSIA.

yes.
be firends with usa and publicly hang george soros in the red square.

Thanks

If you want to dig one step deeper, check out, "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" by Charlote Iserbyt. You'll have to be ready to read a big-boy book, though.

deliberatedumbingdown.com/MomsPDFs/DDDoA.sml.pdf

does Russia like Australia?

>He has no reason to distrust the west.
Wew lad. Brainwashed boomers holding high office in the West still see Russia as a boogeyman that must be broken apart because they grew up during the Cold War. It's like this in Russia too I guess but to a much lesser extent. Obviously most Americans dont think like this.
I'll give you an example. The West promised to dismantle NATO (an anti Soviet organization) in return for the dissolution of the USSR. This was literally the deal Gorbachev made. But guess what. They didnt do that. And when confronted they simply said that no official paperwork was signed so too bad and continued to beef up NATO specifically around Russia. This is the reason for the geoploitical struggle right now between Russia and the USA.

gorbachev was a piece of shit

those are the same institutions. Look at the bolshevik takeover of the early 1900's. (((russians))) are nothing but the slaves of (((them)))

gorby also says nobody owns the water because the UN owns the water

this fag got something right, trotsky and his shills were fucking assholes, that's why stalin killed them all

Other reason to distrust them include:
greedy corporations that would love to exploit Russia.
SJW-ism and liberal cuckery
Globalist Jews
The endless times economic hitmen have destroyed countries for profit

Here's why i love Russia
youtube.com/watch?v=6grVJyS-ap4

Problem is Stalin didn't kill them all. Trotsky himself made it all the way to Mexico before he was purged, but then the rest of them washed ashore into the US and became rich neocons.

Somebody needs to put a stop to these fucking jews.

"We can nuke austrailia together"

>but then the rest of them washed ashore into the US and became rich neocons.
well, because an old version of george soros finnanced trotsky :0)

I'll give you that argument, in the 90s we had some bullshit politicians still living in a cold war mindset. That doesn't make me "brainwashed". But today, in the 21st century, almost nobody has that mindset aside from a few politicians. It's bullshit, yeah. But Russia needs to make negotiates to stop aggression. Again, they own more land than any nation on the planet, but they're still annexing more?! They're being cunts and it isn't helping their cause.
Again, negotiate tirelessly to make fair agreements with western investors and businesses. Russians are apparently pretty good at that shit, seeing as barely anything has been accepted on both sides over the course of close to 60 years.

>1. Do you like Russia?
I love Russia.

>2. How to make Russia great again?
Restauration.

We became our own country over this shit. Fucking jews every time.

he was an useless faggot

I like Russia, but whenever I talk to anyone with a Russian accent I think they're a cold war spy for some reason. As for fixing it, two words. Neo Gulags.

GOD BLESS PUTIN TRUMP AND DUTERTE

That's the best part, though. There a new Russian near me with the best accent Russia can buy, but it's still delightfully Russian around the edges.

Nobody wants to extinguish that.

But he had an awesome beard.

Maybe she could have done a good job. Thanks to the gommies we'll never know.

Yes sir, I think Russia is the model country in terms of non-interventionist, non-aggressive, peace seeking nation.

Thanks to Putin and Lavrov , they shown the world that the western demonology of Russia is unfounded and is clearly western propaganda to isolate and stifle Russian growth.

The world is thankful for Russian, Putin, and Lavrov, and the many Russian soldiers who defended the people of Luhansk and Donetsk.

May the Russian people grow and prosper.

Did you expect anything good to come out of a south-central American shithole? I'd call you shit, but I honestly believe only U.S/Mexico border cities have internet.

1. Russia ga daisuki !
2. Give Putin absolute power, accept him as the God emperor. He'll annihilate ISIS in the very least

Don't be so loud
Why must American tourists talk so loudly

1. I hate communists
2. Stop being communists

A FUCKING LEAF

>That doesn't make me "brainwashed"
Im not saying you are. I was reffering to people incharge of American foreign policy.
>But Russia needs to make negotiates to stop aggression.
Agreed and they've been trying to. If you hear any of Putins speaches he welcomes this and has tried to come to agreements multiple times but cooperation is a two-way street.
The current interests of Russia and the USA collide because of
a. NATO
b. Unwillingness to cooperate because of cunts like Samantha Power and Obongo's entire crew.
c. Globalism and untold fuckery in the Middle East. (who knows what the Jew's endgame is)

>but they're still annexing more
Thats a pretty controversial topic anywhere. I personally believe that this happened because of the unconstitutional coup in Ukraine. Yes you could argue that it was the people's will and all (although I have some doubts to the accuracy of that statement). Nonetheless it was still unconstitutional. The current government aliented the Eastern part of Ukraine and sprung a civil war. Putin heavily supports this war because he fears closer expansion of NATO right at Russia's doorstep. That simply cannot happen. This is also the reason for Crimea's annexation. NATO would surely install a base there if it ever got comfy in Ukraine. That would severely threaten Russias defensive and offensive capabilities in the Black sea.
Russia views this Ukrainian revolution as an attempt by the west to further push NATO unto it. This time in a historical part of Russia right at its doorstep

1. Yes
2. America and Russia bland up, I get to have real slavshit guns

Russia is a Superpower, she still has manned spaceflight. A pre-requisite to be called such.
*tips hat*

1. люблю.
2. Expel the jews, but make sure you don't get nuked over it.
That second part makes me quite melancholic. As if a swarm of mosquito/rat halfbreeds could threaten my very existence would I do anything correct.

Guess you have to Samson your way out during the inevitable collapse of NATO. Meanwhile keep your hands clean and work hard.

1. I wish i could like you.
2. Return the middle class and educate the people east of Moscow so you wont have be labeled as a western spy every time you visit a random shithole in the middle of nowhere.
- Teach the truth about WWII
- gibe lada niva

How awesome would it be if Putin proclaimed a press conference and declared that it was official Russian policy that the holocaust was a lie?

Yes

Get better beer snacks

Putin is friendly to jews :0)

Nah, I think they should get the Tsar back as a figurehead, even if Putin has all the power.

Oh I see, its another bash Russia thread because the goyim need to stop looking up to it.

Why not just tsarify Putin?

putin is labeled as a tsarist stalinist though

Kek. Good advice.
>a swarm of mosquito/rat halfbreeds could threaten my very existence
Honelty Im starting to feel like the threaten the entire words existence.

1. they ok
2. make trump win

Hey, we want in on the killings too, we don't really care who tbqh! But we would like to teach these bluemen or shitskins a lesson again, been a while.

Nah I wonder what the future will give, we can't be naive either, it's always rivaling. I hope we can bring closer our lost nephew who grown to be boy.

>erste
Yes and no. We're still vary and in the current year everyone is fucking everyone on the intel and syria shit and proxywars and idiocy all of it.

We have nothing against the Russian people, I know several. Our gov is fucked. And you got issues too Valdemar. Nowhere is perfect except where there isn't fucking faggot in sight and only me and my fishing pole or my rifle and maybe some beers.

I would really love to come one day, I have senpai that's been in several cities, found them beautiful. Also you are uncucked in all this madness, so you don't got that god damn filthy jewish degenerate propaganda and shit

2. I dunno Valdemar, build your economy, manufacture don't only depend on oil and shit like we do. Your whole eq like ours is pretty much oil based. Need to get away from that, you can't have all eggs in a basket as we say here.

Nah but seriously we hope to get you closer again. It isn't long ago, we sat and swear and farted fisked and ... talked about the weather... kek

Government is a bit corrupt and the people are kinda mean, also no one knows how to drive there but otherwise its honestly great and Im Russian so I know

OH LOOK HERE COMES IRELAND I HAD BETTER PAY ATTENTION TO THIS OPINION

Considering learning the language and moving there in 5-10 years. Also girls are hot as fuck and i think im in love with a russian girl

No

Some middle class would be nice.

I am planning on coming to teach English there.

I have banged 4 Russian tourists m8
best advice you will ever receive:

Make them speak Russian in bed

A hot chick, flirting softly spoken Russian....
rock fuckin' solid

I need more of that, so I am going to the source

1. No
2. You cant. It sucks

>but even the little yellow guys are cute sometimes

REEEEEEE
Degenerates must burn

Cerified faggots

>Skal vi gå ut, or skal vi stay her and drekka vodka?
Shall we go out, or shall we stay here and drink vodka.

C'mon you can't be this bad, you don't got dialects at all really. Just diff tone. But ffs even a swede could understand that

1. Yes
2. Retire Vladimir, reform government

also, why would I choose Asia over Russia?

I want to know, because I have considered it

sorry Britain excluded here, now go away user

Dude I can't fucking help it. They're cute. It's like admiring naked greek statues. Doesn't mean I'd ever fuck them.

>2. Retire Vladimir, reform government
why? seriously I am not into the rus pol shit at all.
can you give a short red pill while I do my last yawns and put my kb back on my desk?

Russia was never great

1. I want to like Russia, but they're such a belligerent nation.

2. Not a clue. I don't know enough about Russian government to hazard a guess.

t. Another faggot

Cant give you a this versus that. All I can say is the folks I know who have done it in Asia are happy with the decision.

1. Yes

2. Nuke California

1. Yes.
2. Anarchy

2authoritarian4me
i'm okay with authoritarian democracy in general, but shits gone way too far (we're rebooting KGB for fucks sake)

fair enough. I am in the same camp, but have positive review from both sides

Look up Russian student English teacher testimonials. Here's a little quote:

"Question: "How do you usually find English lessons in Moscow?"
Elena: Foreign teachers usually more fun than Russian teachers. I have more practice when I start dating my teacher!"

time for when he says it?

I think traveling around a little bit to find what's best is a good idea.

another one

" "How are Russian students different to students in other countries?"
"Matt: We're not supposed to date students, but the women in this country..."

It needs a reboot. FSB is becoming shit, full off entitled cunts. Hopefully he will overhaul all the shitty new """agents""" that got there because of daddy. (probably wont happen) But one can hope....

1. Yes

2. Help russians become more red pilled by helping to de-glamorize the west in your country.
You do this not by attacking the west, but by just being cooler than them. (Leningrad, pofigism)

just tap into that authenic russian not giving a shit vibe and show the world, by example, how it's done. Defeat the globalists with calm, humorous russian apathy.

this

In all seriousness I do like Russia because they are far removed from leftist faggot shit.

I don't know too much about the inter workings of the country. It seems like there is a lot of corruption but that's true here in the US too. I think maybe it's so tough over there because there's so many sanctions which makes it tough to grow an economy.

So maybe to make Russia great the rest of the world should just stop fucking with them?

The only Russians I ever met and didn't like were Jews, no surprise there.

1. Yes
2. Fix your corruption issues by doing what you did to the last asshats to fuck you over. My suggestion is to execute Putin.

youtube.com/watch?v=r29k_T_o9To

1. No
2. Replace slavs with white people

Yeah I think Russia is pretty cool. I have a couple of friends that moved here from Russia and we get along great. Putin seems like he has balls which is something I admire in a leader. Not sure if Russians like the US or us burgers, but that's cool, most people here are retards.

yeah I get that.

I dunno so much but I like this stop on degeneract at least, no homopropaganda and that shit and stopping pr0n etc. We didn't have here either. Dan has to have som pr0n in everything, his news, his toiletpaper etc. Sven has always been degenerate

but thanks for the pill now bed TV off

A FUCKING ЛИCT!!

They like trump in Russia , in fact it's one of the only European countries where trump has a huge lead in favorability over (((Clinton)))

>also, why would I choose Asia over Russia?
I wouldn't if I was you. English teachers are looked down on by many people as uneducated losers who couldn't make it in their home country. In Russia you'd garner more respect and the girls are hotter.

Have you seen this absolute MADMAN?
youtube.com/watch?v=3mILSIyBKLs

Yes. The globalists just tell us to hate you because you guys won't go along with their one world tyrannical hegemony.

Crown Pooty-Poot your new Tsar. You guys are nothing without a strong leader to pull you together.

Asia will be noticeably cheaper

well I think saying Asia is a bit vague for that comment pal.
China or Japan or Singapore would cost more

not sure about that, considering the only politics americans care about are presidential elections.
the level of blue pilling is so high and so deep, that even people who think theyre red pilled arent. You need to be a downright jewish 33rd degree freemason immigrant in america to be fully redpilled

ya, i assumed youd be going to one of the countries unskilled NEETS go to in the search for easy puss.
obviously i didnt mean tokyo when i said asia, obviously.
pedantic nigger.

Once upon a time, one of my friends was trying to sell me on coming to Thailand. He was kind of exploring around the general area, but the food there is pretty good anyway, and last I heard he's still somewhere in the vicinity.

i just wanna be allies again.
