“ Russia is not squeaky clean. Russia is what it is. And we are not ashamed of showing who we are.
- — Sergey Lavrov, Lavrov: Russia is not squeaky clean and not ashamed, 17 June 2022
“ Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country.
russia[6], also known as Muscovy or Nihilistan, is a KGB-run dictatorship[7], expansionist colonial empire, and state sponsor of terrorism[8][9].
It is the direct legal and spiritual successor of the genocidal Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (the Evil Empire) and its ruling ideology is referred to as Kremlinism. Its supporters are referred to as vatniks, tankies, useful idiots, and Kremlintarians. Its victims are referred to as russophobes.
Its ruler is traditionnaly referred to as “tsar” (or “czar”, from latin Caesar). The current tsar is KGB lieutenant-colonel and former Communist Party of the Soviet Union member Vladmir Putin, possibly the richest man in the world through sheer corruption [10].
Philosophy
“ Long time observers may be confused why Russia so readily embraces the most obviously conflicted ideologies.
Ideologies are just costumes for Russia. Underlying everything is a religious belief in an all powerful Czar, and in salvation through enduring and inflicting suffering.
Continuity with USSR
[1] Kremlinism/WWII, GULag, Holodomor...
[2] Why deny the genocides of the previous regime, unless it’s the same regime?

- The Wagner mercenary group’s ’cock division’ now seems to be a reality, judging by a new video of a Wagner convict recruit’s debriefing. In the video, the convict talks of how Wagner is mobilising a segregated unit of raped men, who are treated as untouchables. (thread) (pdf)

Famous russians
Historical heroes
The main criterion to be on this list of “people admired by russians” seems to be... having murdered a lot of russians:
“ В мае 2021 года среди самых выдающихся личностей, по мнению россиян, оказались: И. Сталин (39%), В. Ленин (30%), А. Пушкин (23%), Пётр I (19%) и В. Путин (15%). Доля тех, кто называл В. Путина сократилась в два раза по сравнению с 2017 годом.
In May 2021, among the most prominent personalities, according to Russians, were: I. Stalin (39%), V. Lenin (30%), A. Pushkin (23%), Peter I (19%) and V. Putin ( 15%).
