[quote:Anonymous Coward 71898607:MV8yOTE5MjMyXzU2NDA0MTQ4Xzc0OEEwNEIz] Pozdrav Tamonten! One thing I always wanted to know about Russians is their attitude when dealing with smaller nations in civil sphere not politics. I mean we never were under Soviet influence in Yugoslavia/less interaction, so I want know more about working men or middle class Russians, when they are large/strong community in neighboring countries. What's the attitude? I'll give you an example..when Serbs(and I love them to death but its true), immigrated to neighboring states in Yugo, they played superiority game..didnt learn our language we had to speak theirs in our homes, that's one example but it was commie times, so nothing made sense back then. So how is it in let's say Lithuania or any Balt state for that matter? I know Balts give your minority a hard time but where does it come from-the hate? What is the reputation of Russian minority there and more important what is their attitude towards Lithuanian state or its people? Do they recognize it as their country? Did they learned the language? We got Serbs living in Slovenia for 40 years and they don't know a word of Slovene. [/quote]
Original Message
I’m on GLP for more than a year and quite tired of a bunch of popular misconceptions and myths you people have about my country. That’s aside from clear propaganda and some trolls (or shills – whatever).
So, I’m willing to answer some questions regarding my country to have a page to where direct all the recurring rubbish I encounter here.
As a short summary – I studied history (mostly Japanese though) in university-level college. Before that I was interested in programming. So, I can answer quite a wide variety of questions. Don’t expect however me having a lot of “special” knowledge. There is some of that too, but quite outdated and not that interesting.
BTW, I’m not tolerant at all. I’ll block for excessive swearing and trolling without any hesitation. I’ll answer any questions I can - even if I don’t like them - as long as they are asked politely. Don’t expect to like all of the answers though.
