Boroda, there's an old gent on my block that's latvian. He's about 90 years old. Been here since the 50's.

He hates Russians with a passion and fire that brings a smile to my face every time i see him. I handed him a Mosin Nagant 91/30.. he smiled a toothless smile and infomed me how he took one from a drunk russian soldier, shot him, the killed his 4 buddies that we having a little rape fest in his occupied village.

"Five bullet magazine. just right size for that job. yes, killed many russian dogs witrh their own guns. very much fun. would like to do it again. not many russians here though."

LOL.

I really like the guy.

Neg on Country music.  Country music died with Hank Sr.  I listen to Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Who, Beatles, T rex (Slider is Bolan's best work), and many other bands.

 

My choice exactly.

Zep-II - most elegant album ever.

Abbey Road - top of the development. Insanely beautifull.

Atom Heart Mother - absolutely great.

Queen - I listened too much when I was at school, but they were good.

My favourite Bolan's album is Electric Warrior.

I was surprised when I understood that Slade and Grand Funk Railroad are almost forgotten in the West

I cannot drink and drive anywhere.  It isn't safe nor, something fun.  

I prefer someone drive for me, so I can drink. I don't drive and don't own a car, with Moscow transportation system I don't need it, it takes me 55 minutes to get from home to work by underground (subway, metro, tube), and ober 2 hours by car in rush hours.

My best friend that was going to climb Masherbrum was in a car accident in 1997.  He was already asked to be the best man in my wedding.  He was in a coma for a month, and with a shattered right ankle (that was almost amputated).   He was the one person I could trust in Alpinism, I walked away from it.  Now we do other stuff (backpacking, etc.).   He was able to stand in my wedding after learning to speak, and walk again.

My Father took part in preparation for Soviet-Chinese Himalayan expedition in 1958, he wasn't in top team but he had a chance to get there at least as far as a base camp. Thanks to comrade K, they got turned away when they already were on a plane What an bellybutton he was Spoiling relations with China was not a mistake, it was a crime.

I go backpacking, travelled all over the Union from Carpathians to Baikal and from Khibins to Crimea, it's a shame that I never went hiking in Central Asia and didn't see great mountains there

I am not an alpinist, I am a mountain hiker. I once made a whole cliff-hanging route, third category, in Crimea, on warm rocks... I Haven't been THAT scared in my whole life.

Nice.

JFYI: when Red Army came back in 1944 there were 18 (eighteen) Jews left in Riga (capital of Latvia, if you didn't know, and you probaly didn't).

Latvian SS unit burned a Belorussian village of Hatyn', leaving only one kid who was lucky to run away to tell about the massacre. They burned everyone, ruthlessly. Civilised nation, NATO members, who have 60% of population as "aliens" now.

Nazis.

boroda... if soviet city life was so good... how come no country that can buy any music they want has a single russian rock album for sale?

All that safe and free soviet living should have given a whole generation of cold warriors lot's of time to produce rock and roll...  free houses, free food, free medical...  Maybe life was so good there was no need for rock and roll?  No need to drink yourself into oblivion on potato squeezins...

Red Dawn is a great movie. Not saying I dream of killing Russian invaders, on the contrary, I respect what they did in WWII, and the technological advances they made. I'm proud to be American, but I don't hate them because they are different from us. They stay there and I'll stay here, and all is good in the world. Red Dawn though, man, great great movie.

Boroda;

If I recall correctly, you said that you were a former USSR military officer.  If so, perhaps you could answer this.

Why is Russia spending 50% of it’s GDP on the military?  China is not going to attack you.  They are too busy becoming number one in telecommunications manufacturing.  The US is not stupid enough to follow Napoleon and Hitler on the Road to Moscow.  I know you have serious problems with the separatists down south, but geesus, 50%.

1) I had military training in College, 1990-92, for two years, but I never served. I am a first non-officer in my family in 3 generations.

2) USSR spent 50-70% of GDP on defence, if we didn't - US had plans ready for nuking us and plans for occupational administration like they have in Iraq.

3) Russian Federation can't afford more then 10% GDP for defence. I can search for exact numbers, but I am too lazy and drunk now, sorry. RF military budget is less then 5-10% now.

4) Separatists in the South are already pacified, and I am not satisfied with how it was done. Decimation for every terrorist act is what I want, and I don't care about "human rights" because creatures who attack schools and maternity-hospitals are not humans.

5) After USSR broke apart - Russian Federation's official military doctrine is a massive nuclear strike against any aggressor. We can't afford full-scale conventional warfare. It doesn't mean that we can't take back so-called "Baltic republics" in a matter of hours. We have bought that lands for hard cash back in XVII century, so I still don't understand why they host aggressors.

LOL I have to reboot to put my favourite song on the Web

[*NDM*JohnnyX]

I've heard quite a few good Russian Heavy Metal bands, and they actually have a few good hip hop artists too. Most American chain record stores only carry top-40 stuff, which would explain why many foreign bands aren't available to you. Check out some indie record buy/sell/trade stores....we have one near me called Rock Fantasy that carries stuff that surprises me every time I browse their inventory.

We were standing too proud, we pay three times: for those who went with us, for those who were waiting for us, for those who will never forgive us that R'N'R is dead and we are still alive...

An anti-Soviet underground song from 1983. So true...

Would LOVE to see you guys give that a shot. I suspect you'd have yer tulips handed to you, and you'd 'unite' Europe against you in a heartbeat.

It would end forever the 'red threat' from Russia.

And yah, contrary to your assumption I know more about eastern european history than you'd ever guess... a mighty fine teaching tool when I need to make a point about the advantages of an armed population when facing an invader. Care to have a lesson on Finland in the Winter War?

[lazs2]

nope... checked... not one soviet rock album for sale from the cold war era...  looks like thousands and thousands of albums from other countries tho.... ones without walls around em to keep people in tho.
