Suicide bombings in Moscow subway

[GMantis]

Depressing. I can already imagine how the Kremlin fascists will exploit this to once again purge the opposition.

You're disgusting. Can't you let your Russophobia rest even for this occasion?

Russophobia...

Your first reaction is to push your extremely biased opinion of the Russian government (how are they fascist, by the way?). Seems rather indicative to me.

I've never used the word fascist: you said that, not me ) I don't think they are fascist, actually. It's just an atrocious government, that's been really bad for Russia. They've dismembered whatever fledgeling institutions of the civil society were emerging there. And, of course, they are a gang of disreputable KGB-men and thieves (usually both simultaneously). But fascists they are not: they are not sufficiently ideological for that.

However, I do think you despise Russians, as you clearly think this government suits them. So, in my view, if anyone exhibits clear traits of Russophobia here, it's you )

I wasn't talking about you.
I didn't know whether is suits them, but its clearly better for Russia than the previous one. And it seems that the prevailing opinion inside Russia is similar, even though most Russians outside Russia don't seem to think so. I find it rather telling, don't you?

Fascist was obviously an exageration, since you have nothing else to do than focusing on words... Russia remains a bloody and corrupted dictatorship.

Yes, it's very telling: it's indicative of the state of the mass media inside Russia and of the difference in average oil price between the 1990s and 2000s Though, actually, we don't really know what anyone thinks: as noone has bothered to trully ask recently Among my acquaintances within Russia, for one, an overwhelming majority (I'd venture to say, well over 2:1) would disagree w/ you Though, of course, it's indicative of my social circle more than of anything else

Generally people who live inside a country a better informed about it than people outside the country, but maybe Russians are different . As for acquaintances, my experience is opposite of yours, so it's really a question of social circles
