Arina8, please relax and don't waste your time. For some reason Xela is over sensitive about caucasian women, obsessed with Chechnya and perceive any negative description of nation as racism (I said that Georgian women become unattractive when they grow-up and I'm racist now ). Additionally he is too focused on rape. He failed to understand statistics. He failed to face historical facts. He failed to provide any evidence of his words, neither satellite images, nor any map analyzis. Everything he can is to write: "tell that to Chechen children/women/people killed/raped/screwed" and "russians are agressors and rapists". He provided only information from anti-russian internet sites (I can invent such texts one a week) as ultimate truth. He offended my country and my armchair. My country is glorious and my armchair is perfect white leather VIP styled armchair (USD $821).
From my point of view he is pure Russian hater and not very mentally healthy person. :-&

As expected. It looks like they are desperately seeking a way to please their overseas masters but somehow failed to invent something filthy for Russia and safe for them simultaneously. |

Yes, but two wrongs do not make a right.
I watched a good documentary on Chechya. They want to have their own country. I say let have their own cultural and do as they want as if it is the law. But from the great mountain called the Kremlin, government has pushed people the wrong way to integrated them.
Same can be said Saami people in the north. They were pushed to be integrated. Why? Who cares? If they want to live the traditional life eating reindeer meat and cooking it with reindeer poop, then it is their life.
What Russia did to Chechya was wrong, but tthe Chechen also did many things to themselves. When they got independence, they had zero economy. So what did they do for money? Drug smuggling, kidnapping and arm dealing. What Ossetia do when it escaped from Georgia? The same thing.
Great, you have brand country with no industry, no money, lots of corruption, and some nationalistic/fundamentalist idiot that does not have the brains to drive a car let alone to lead the country. So what does he after getting a brand new country? He attacks the old country, because he is too stupid to think of anything else to do.
A smart man would fight to get recognition for their language, cultural, money to build their economy and so on.
But Russian government is always thick headed and place some corrupt official who makes things worse. |

I think those who wrong don't have any moral rights to criticise other for "wrong" actions. If your country invaded or supported invasion into Iraq, if your country supported disintegration of Yugoslavia (Russia protested, did your country protested?), if your country supports those who currently killing people in Afghanistan (how many protests were declared by your country? how many sanctions were introduced by your country against USA?), then you cannot criticise Russia for its actions. You are from so-called democratic state therefore you are at least partially responisble for everything your government does. Face the truth. It is never changed during entrie history of humankind. Those who have the power rule, those who doesn't have the the power are screwed sooner or later. Same for Russia, same for any other country. It doesn't matter what your democratic government(s) say about international laws. When they'll feel weakness they'll immediately invent an justification, an "special case" and they'll forget about laws. If they don't feel strong enough personally they will create a pack of wolves to tear apart weakest.
About Chechnya and all related shit. I won't discuss about this because it is pretty complex problem. There are badasses from both sides. Of course if you want you will find any materials about big bad Russia and small good innocent Chechnya. It doesn't change anything.

EU should immediately do something if they so love and respect international laws. At least bark at US, discuss sanctions against US, Milliband should go to international tour where he'll tell everybody how bad America is and how important to stop its agression. Descent of journalists should be dropped to this village in order to show cruelty of U.S. Armed Forces.
Hell, they shouldn't be afraid to freeze this winter as US don't supply Europe with gas, so their hands are untied. We'll wait angry speeches of European politics.

Paul,

Thank you for your insight, but I beg to differ.
Ender,

Let's not gloss over what you actually said, racist. And let's not forget about all the Russian propaganda sites you provided me with, containing clips and photos from the Chechnyan conflict, in the vain hope that I would believe it was the Georgia-Ossetia-Russia crisis.
| Quote: | | He offended my country and my armchair. My country is glorious and my armchair is perfect white leather VIP styled armchair (USD $821). |
Now, let me show everyone what it was that you wrote to me exactly, and then maybe I can be excused for offending you, and let you get back to your 'perfect white leather VIP styled armchair':
| Quote: | | Женщины это похоже твоя больная тема, может быть у тебя слишком мало секса или его вообще нет? Я долго смеялся. Во первых грузинское население из деревень на территории Осетии разбежалось ещё до того как Грузия напала на Осетию. Во вторых грузины показали себя неглупыми людьми, и наверняка эвакуировали женщин в первую очередь. Или ты считаешь их глупыми? Пустой Гори, брошенная военная техника и амуниция это наглядный пример грузинского менталитета - в случае опасности всё бросить и бежать. В отличие от чеченцев, кстати, которые бросают своих женщин и детей на милость победителя а сами уходят в леса и горы и начинают мстить заранее, ещё до того как к ним кто-нибудь прикоснется. Во время кавказских войн позапрошлого века эта особенность (как грузин, так и чеченцев) была кстати подмечена современниками. В третьих, ты видел этих самых женщин? У русских и грузин мягко говоря очень разные представления о женской красоте. По мнению русских (и по моему личному, я был в Грузии трижды) грузинские женщины непривлекательны, а когда они ещё и грязные и немытые так это вообще полный отстой - толстые, носатые и усатые в своем подавляющем большинстве. Очень быстро созревают (в 15 лет это конфетка, но так-же очень быстро портятся). Так что про женщин можешь смело расслабиться. |
Now who would care to differ with me on the fact that Ender is a pure, 100% unadulterated Russian racist? |

Xela, you haven't asked my permission for publication of my letters. This is not courtesy. However I will not post your letters anyway as revenge. Anyway they are stupid and meaningless. To those who can't read Russian I will translate common meaning:
1. Georgians - smart and not warlike (недолго продолжался, бой бежали робкие грузины (с) Lermontov). Their women aren't attractive, especially when they are mature and when they are in war-zone. Quickly fluorish, but quickly fade. I guess it is common characteristic for many southern nations.
2. Chechens - smarter than Georgians and warlike.
I'm racist.
Of course there is possibility that Xela understands only 50% of what I'm writing. He seems understand Russian, but it looks like he unable to write Russian.

I didn't sent to you personally any links, clips or photos from the Chechnyan conflict. If you wish I can. |

Ender,
The reason you won't publish my letters is because I did not offend anyone, and it would only show you to be the racist bigot that you really are.
Allow me to translate what you wrote to me exactly, for those who cannot read Russian:
| Quote: | | В третьих, ты видел этих самых женщин? У русских и грузин мягко говоря очень разные представления о женской красоте.

Очень быстро созревают (в 15 лет это конфетка, но так-же очень быстро портятся). Так что про женщин можешь смело расслабиться. |
Means..
| Quote: | Russians and Georgians have differing opinions on beauty.
Georgian women are unattractive, dirty, big-nosed, and moustached in the overwhelming majority, and they get old very quickly. |

I don't care if you offend somebody or not. First you offend Russia and Russians. It explains everything.

As expected. Either your translation isn't precise intentionally or you understand Russian worse than I understand English, especially details of sentences (of course you forgot about context - time, place).
Your translation is laughable. You've got 3 of 5 for translation precision and 5 of 5 for misrepresention. |

Your arrogance is almost is high as Putin's.
Your oil supply is decline and your Oligrach are living the party life on the resources of Russia. Present reserves will last only 17 years.Your manufacturing industry is still in ruins. Now,your oil production is decline and you have screwed over so many foreign investors, that they are not investing anymore.
Like an Arrogant Beauty Queen who thinks she will always remain beautiful. Russia starting to look ugly again.
Fitting name for yourself "Ender". What is Russia going to do with over hyped housing when the economy slows down. The rents cannot even pay for the interest. Russians have over spent credit and still weak banking system.
History has proven that no country can survive on its own and have to be a part of world's economic and global system. Russia must have skipped this lesson or least Putin. Maybe that is why the Oligrachs are trying to get their money out of Russia( they have the biggest homes in London), because Rats leave a sinking ship.
So what does Putin do? Blame his puppet for the economic crisis that is about to happen?
BTW I am not American, but nice try. |

It is interesting that Russians always talk about Americans when they do something or explain something. I think if you drop a glass or get in car accident in Russia, then you blame the Americans. |

Definitely. This is the main reason why I do not usually participate in such disputes. And I do not usually vote in the elections although it might be wrong.
As for being misled, I don't think that we are. In the end, most people care about their own life and their family and do not even know what their government does. Personal links and relationships are more important in life than politics, at least I can't start hating people for political reasons. Neither can my children. |
We are influenced by language and selective words and what we are allowed to see.
If you look at the Chechen wars, then first the media was allowed more freedom and second one, they weren't.
Or if many people see how they kill the cows, they will not eat as much beef.
Xela, I do not think that Arina is a racist. I think she is commenting on your tone and anger. |
I suppose at first the media were not as currupted as now, so they tended to be more objective. In the Chechen war both sides made good money and nobody cared about ordinary people, Russians or Chechens.
Yet, there is one thing which cannot be excused - terrorism. I used to work in a school and when we got the news concerning Beslan we were shocked. If you have any experience dealing with kids, you can understand that it is impossible to make them sit still for half an hour. Now imagine small children locked for two days without water (it was very hot then) and then killed.
Plus, we had some terrorist attacks in Moscow including Nord-Ost. As a result I have to force myself not to dislike Chechens and not to think that they are not of age to have their own democratic country. I never discuss this theme with my students or my own children, but sometimes it's a bit over the top.
When my daughter went to the kindergarten, they had a Chechen boy in their group whose favourite game was to 'kill Russians'. Given the fact that the family lived and worked in Moscow, it needed great tolerance to explain to my kid that the boy was wrong and would change.
One more thing. A friend of mine from Kabarda ( it's in the Caucasus) says they have sort of a proverb 'if your horse is missing, look for it in Chechnya'. I used to tell him that he was wrong, but now I sometimes think that maybe Chechens' moral values differ from Christians' and they do not treat us as their equals. Why should we in this case?
On the whole, I have always been more interested in people than in their nationalities, so thank you for your opinion about me.
As for Xela, judging by his (or her?) poor lexis and lack of logic, this person is either a teenager (they tend to run to extremes)
or needs education. Perhaps, there are some health problems as well, but anyway, he (or she) is unpleasant to communicate with and I am not going to do it anymore.
I can't say that all Russians are wonderful people, we are different, but I really hate generalizations, so when somebody says that Russians are aggressors, I feel hurt. It is more precise to speak about the government, as Russians are quite tolerant, sometimes too tolerant, I am afraid. The same applies to Americans.
Finally, a nice sketch from Georgia. An acquaintance of mine (a Georgian girl who has lived in Moscow for 8 years) has just come from Georgia where she was on holiday. Her former classmate (from Tbilisi) says that all the students were given sort of rifles and sent to fight the Russian army. When they got to the place, nobody knew what to do, so half of the Georgians fled to Russians and were soon let go. Finally, both armies started looting and raping local people, paying no attention to their nationality. Internationalism? The only thing that really matters here is whether you are a decent person or not. |

It seems to me that if a women over 30 or 35 at maximum doesn't go to the beautician, she doesn't look attractive anyway. This applies to all of us unfortunately, no matter where we live. In the Caucasus some women are really beautiful, others are not. I don't think these things are worth discussing. Caucasian women often look older than Russian but on the other hand, if they take good care of themselves, it can be easily improved. By the way, in Russian villages women become old much earlier than in towns and do not always look attractive either. |

But you dehumanize the "opposing" people as a stereotype or class. It is not ok to murder or rape a person who is person, but to someone who an enemy like Georgian, Iraqi, or even a villager, then in someone mind it is ok, because they are the enemies. They respond the same way. Government and Military now teach to hate and it is okay to hate them, because they hate you. Soldiers go on the field think they are superior, because they are Russian, Georgian or an American.
Read Lord of the Flies or Heart of Darkness
It is difficult to civilized when you are in uncivilized place.
It is interesting that you think that Russia has different reputation than America and America believes the same. But when I was in Turkey, I was near a Russian dominate resort. I went to the local bazaar. When they found that I was not Russian, the Turkish men could not shut up on how much they hated Russians, but they enjoyed only Russian money and women for pleasure. That is why it is so easy for them to force them in prostitution, because in their eyes, you are just an object and they really dislike you. In Ukraine, when they realize that I am not American, they would not say less than kind words about the USA.
I was watching the Republican convention last night. I must admit that I like John McCain before he won the nomination, but I nearly wanted to vomit from all the nationalism spoken at this convention. They spoke like if you are not American, then you are nothing. The democratic convention was not much different. USA was built on ingenuity, hard work and determination. Now it has so many laws and lawsuits, most people feel like they have no control.
I must say that I found it the same way in Russia. It is not a country that was built on the fairy tales of the past, but now it is built on greed, violence, and nationalism. Has Russia lost its soul?
Do I want to live in a country that works itself in such nationalistic state that it is ok to invade, rape, steal, and murder, because I am better than them, because I was born in certain country or my passport has a certain name on it. According to Putin and Bush, yes.

I didn't say anything about the difference of the reputations. Perhaps I did not express myself clearly. I repeat that I hate generalizations. As for Turks working in local markets, I would not pay too much attention to what they say. These can be said only by people who for some reason feel inferior. I do not care much what they say because the Turks I communicate with are much better educated and have different opinion. Anyway, if you use somebody else's money, it is indecent to say how much you hate this person.
As for being taught to hate, it isn't so easy in Russia. We are not very flexible and it takes time to make Russians hate other nations. As a rule, strong feelings have some basis.
I also believe that the more a person knows, the less dependent he is, so education saves us from unreasonable hatred as well.
Golding is great, I admit, but he wrote about the reserved British boys, and if we assume that he is right, it means that the human nature is the same no matter who you are by origin. What really matters is the circumstances in which a person finds himself. By the way, when I discussed the novel with my 11-year-old kids, some of them said they did not know how they would behave under these circumstances.
If it is not a secret, where are you from? I am just wondering, if you do not want to answer, it's OK. |

No. Americans get our respect even if we don't like their deeds. In context of this topic those who blamed is Europe. They remained silent when U.S. invaded into Iraq, but they immediately became very vocal when Russia did something similar. The logic of Americans is understandable and expected - Russia broken their latest toy (Georgia). But logic of European countries demonstrates double values.
P.S.
There is anekdote in Russia:
Two western citizens talking:
- We'll kill one thousand of Arabs and one American worker.
- Wait, why American worker?
- Aha! No doubts about Arabs. |

I don't know where you read this but in my city all factories working better and better with each year. There aren't any "ruins" around. Level of life is higher than in 90-th and raising. |
