Using words ...please refrain from personal attacks. Using words like moron doesn't help anyone and I will delete any such posting in future.<BR/><BR/>I did read that Guardian article and Paton Walsh makes some good points. It is easy to underestimate how much, and how many, Russians like stability, having not had it in the Yeltsin years. What I find is missing from Georg Dolivo's remarks is any appreciation of how scary Russia seems to its neighbours--which is odd, because I think he is a Finn, and they should understand this better than most!<BR/><BR/>Regadrs<BR/>EdwardEdward Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11369936559712607693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24528000.post-1154449267103624772006-08-01T16:21:00.000+00:002006-08-01T16:21:00.000+00:00GEORG: You are about as uninformed on Russia as i...GEORG: You are about as uninformed on Russia as it's possible to be, and blindly nationalistic. This post is clearly making positive comments about the reform of corruption in Russia, and like a classic Russophile maniac you bite the hand that feeds you. <BR/><BR/>I'd say that the author is not hearly hard enough on Russia, as he omits mention of crucial facts that discredit Russia. For your information, and his, you ignorant moron, a recent study on Russian corruption found it was tied for ninth-most-corrupt nation in the world.

In other words, it's propaganda and virtually spam, the hysterical childish rantings of Russophile thug and just the sort of thing that is causing Russia to become extinct.La Russophobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672264388217953086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24528000.post-1154196421508397572006-07-29T18:07:00.000+00:002006-07-29T18:07:00.000+00:00I'm glad I found your blog.
