They are not liberals, obviously, they are just people who opposed Soviet regime in late 80's so they were praised as freedom-loving democratic liberals by the West.
The younger ones just sticked to what's cool( its hip to hate your country, no sh1t).
They have no ideology whatsoever, everything I hear from them is hatespeech, contradicting their our set of "values".
Basically, they re the 5-th column, plain and simple.
You know, they are not really a minority.
You can hear same things from school teachers( I did, in early 90's), from a history teacher, no less( Natalia Reichtman was her name, she lives in US now, she was mostly nice to kids, but just when she spoke about anything other than her library it was hate-fest, it was first time I ever heard a famous "if we just surrendered durning WW2, we'd be cultured and civilized now", and she said that on a history lesson to teenage kids, thankfully we didn't care of history at all).
It's an obligatory 'intelligencia' thing, I know enough of them to say that, russophobia or whatever you call that is pretty much only thing that keeps them together, because they have actually nothing in common.
Somehow, they think if they read enough Samizdat and can read Mandelshtam by heart that gives them right to call every one else an untermensch.
It's not for internal consumption in Russia that for sure. Even those hardcore liberasts can't be that dumb. It's simply **** for the RussiaWeak!!11! crew abroad.
Simply breathtaking. Even for those people it must be clear that you wouldn't 'be cultured and civilized now' but largely exterminated or hiwis for nazi herrenmenschen at best. I wonder about your seemingly endless patience with those scum.
Nothing new.
We got People like that in Georgia too.
People like them are cancers of their own nation.
I think they lack any common sence, maybe they just hate it because its 'common'.
It's like an episode from X-files when chupacabra terrorised a Mexican town and no one cared.
Thanks to capitalism, everyone have a lot things to do and no time to pay attention to anything.
What is so controversial about these statements? Also, what is the point of this post? Another exercise in groupthink? Would anyone care to address substantive claims or make charges?
^ You are joking right?
I'm myself in favor of liberal ideology but in no way would I ever want to be associated with these fascist so called opposition we have in our country.
Good for russia that you have no opposition! Like who needs them lol Enjoy what you have and god bless Putin!
I think someone( probably ДПНИ) tried to sue Erofeev, but to no avail.
Just in case you don't know him, he is a 'famous intellectual' writer who also appears on TV a lot.
Someone made a flash game in which you need to guess which quote is his, and which is a quote of some WW2-time German nazi.
I scored 40%, it's almost impossible, it's just the same.
Your persistance at flaming Russian-related threads with this rubbish makes me think you are underage.
Are you?
