He's got some basics but to be honest I don't always get what he says when I hear him occasionally speaking Russian. To be honest even more, his Russian sucks
but as you say Russians like him anyway.
That's what I thought.He's got some basics but to be honest I don't always get what he says when I hear him occasionally speaking Russian. To be honest even more, his Russian sucks
Yes, I get the impression that the soldiers like that he speaks to them and asks them questions about how it is going. I think it helps them to know that there are people abroad who care about them, particularly the common soldiers. I'm sure the officers get enough attention from the leading staff.
They'll wait until Russian came close to Poltava. You know, Poltava battle was the start of the end of Sweden Empire.
Yes, I know it well. But why wait? Swedes are video game warriors and they think video games are the same as fighting and dying. I have spoken to many 20-year-olds and many of them want to join the fight in Ukraine. If you accidentally step on their toe they begin to moan so I say send them to Ukraine today and we'll watch them coming back in tears within a week. I'll be standing here waiting for them and saying, "I tried to tell you!"
And they'll name you "Raven Glasnost" and say that's it was all your fault. The lack of responsibility for their own actions is one of the main features of the too many modern youngsters. They are prone to blame everyone around them but not themselves.Yes, I know it well. But why wait? Swedes are video game warriors and they think video games are the same as fighting and dying.

I can defeat them all with one word: Racist. It doesn't even need to be true but wielding the accusation "racist" is enough to have every man, woman, and child running away to hide.
An acquaintance of mine moved to Sweden in search of a better life 20 or so years ago. Haven't heard from her since, but in light of the Muslim invasion, anti-Russian hysteria and woke nonsense raging on there I've been wondering lately if she might be starting to search for a better life here in her motherland again. Is it really that bad over there now or have we we just fallen victims of Putin’s propaganda as usual?I can defeat them all with one word: Racist.

I understand.
If I were young I'd move to Russia myself for one year just to see how life has changed and if I might stay there. I was in Russia (Sovjet Union) a couple of times during the Cold War. I wouldn't have wanted to live in Russia back then but today ....... ? Maybe.
LOL. No, it's not propaganda. But I guess your question, "Is it THAT BAD?" depends upon how bad you think it is. Ask me a specific question and I will give you an honest answer.Is it really that bad over there now or have we we just fallen victims of Putin’s propaganda as usual?
Crime, cost of living, whites not masters of their own country any more. Sweden was always portrayed to us like an exemplary state were real socialism won, meaning that everyone there lived a wealthy, happy life where justice and order thrived. (The was a famous movie from the late USSR where the main character's dream was to marry a foreigner and flee the country. She married a Swede eventually and got happy in a way, for a while at least. Here's a link if you may get interested
Has gone up.
Has gone up.
An exagerration.
It was true.
"wealthy" is an exagerration. More than sufficienct is a better expression. "happy, justice, and order" was all true.
Thanks for the link. I am interested but my Russian is far, far worse than that Lancaster fellow. In Russian I can only say hello, goodbye, you are welcome, and thank you.(The was a famous movie from the late USSR where the main character's dream was to marry a foreigner and flee the country.

True that officially Russia & Vlado are being slandered everywhere, all day long in Sweden. Swedes are political idiots who know nothing at all about the outside world other than what is fed to them by the Swedish MSM which is nothing more than translated from every other Western MSM. RT is censored here. I don't know what Hohols are. The Arabs are not loved but they are given carte blanche while Swedes are being discriminated against, more or less.
Yes, you are right.That's just the picture that draws itself when bits and pieces of information filter through the fog of the ideological war.
Actually the western foreigners have an absolute advantage over us, the Russians, in that when they come to Russia they find prices that are twice, thrice or more lower than what they are used to and even if you barely make ends meet back home, you may find yourself being quite a wealthy bastard
here with your €3000 or more per month income. Another matter is that you might be ostracized upon coming back, but if it's true or not I can't be sure. Might you?
Yes, I have given all of that consideration. The bottom line is that I am much too old to move to a new country. I have been everywhere around the world (except South America), I have lived in several countries and I speak five languages. But now I don't have enough time to learn another language and a new culture so the only thing I can do is hope that the good guys win and the bad guys get punished.Actually the western foreigners have an absolute advantage over us, the Russians, in that when they come to Russia they find prices that are twice, thrice or more lower than what they are used to and even if you barely make ends meet back home, you may find yourself being quite a wealthy bastard
