@SpeakRussianNow@sproekt5@juliaioffe Russian soul is just a figure of speech. There’re definitely quite deep cultural differences between different nations.
@WriteressR@MikeStoneUSA@RealScottRitter@juliaioffe I dunno, like freedom to have other candidates in the elections who are not directly planted by Putin?
Nadezhdin wasn’t even allowed to be on the ballot. Is he also conspiring with the CIA in your opinion?
@tahoe89448@HVconditions CA side requires parking reservations that are sold out at this point. There’s usually an overflow though that I don’t think you have to reserve.
@brendan_loves@Cyt146Benji@jnomurdoch@GlennCraven@electricalWSOP I don’t know and it doesn’t matter.
What I’m saying is that in Russian electoral system it doesn’t matter how people voted. What matter how it’s counted.
You say that I don’t know what I’m talking about but man, you’re oblivious to how things work in Russia.
@brendan_loves@Cyt146Benji@jnomurdoch@GlennCraven@electricalWSOP It’s just a really stupid question because there are at least two sides on each conflict and none of them are completely truthful.
So the matter of “lying”/“telling the truth” is just the matter of whose words are you taking at face value.
@brendan_loves@Cyt146Benji@jnomurdoch@GlennCraven@electricalWSOP Do you seriously believe such election results? You do know that even regular internal elections in Russia have very little to do with how people actually vote?
Have you looked into the history of Russian elections?
@brendan_loves@Cyt146Benji@jnomurdoch@GlennCraven@electricalWSOP You surely must know that the whole separatist movement started with unofficial backing from Russian side. Does name Girkin ring the bell?
You keep talking about western propaganda machine. Have you heard of Russian one?
@brendan_loves@Cyt146Benji@jnomurdoch@GlennCraven@electricalWSOP What people are you talking about? You mean referendum that was performed while Russian military was on the ground?
I’m personally from Siberia, and I can tell you that Russian federal government wasn’t too lenient to people who wanted more independence from the capital.
