Russian Federation (And other forms of Russia)

Postby Roski » Mon Oct 06, 2014 5:31 am

Russia, geographically, is a very large nation who is located in Northern Asia and Eastern Europe

Currently the Federation of Russia, the country has undergone three major governmental changes, from Tsardom, to Premiers, to President/Prime Minister.

Russia, as it stands today, has had several controversial events happen of late, from the War against Homosexuals, where vigilante group viciously attack homosexuals, and the victim loses everything, such as their jobs, respect, etc etc, after these vigilante groups post the video of the assualt on various forms of social media. With no fear of Russian authority reaponding, these vigilantes are not to be stopped.

There is also the crisis in Crimea, where Russian soldierz invaded crimea, forced a referendum, whose results led to the aready large country to annex Crimea. Called illegitimate by NATO and the European Union, it has sparked rebellion within Ukraine, as more groups fight for independence or to join the Russian Federation.

There is also Vladimir Putin, who the West fears, who is trying desperately to return Russia to its Soviet glory days.

This, is Russia.

Rules:
No chatting. TET calls for you if you wanna chat
Stay on topic. Everything you say must return to Russia, somehow, some way.

So NSG, brace yourself, for the Russian winter is coming!

We already have the "Slavic discussion thread", and since us south Slavs were never allowed to even open up a thread discussion the entire South Slavic region, never mind individual nations, I don't see why the mods would allow a thread specifically for Russia.

Well that's horseshit, since past attempts at threads for other Slavic nations have been met with a "you have the Slavic thread so locked".

I hope that ruling counts for all Slavic nation threads then.

Since this was your idea, why don't you start it off with a topic or two?

Which has what to do with Russia? There's a thread already on the crisis in Ukraine.

What about them? They're obviously assholes. But shouldn't you elaborate your posts with a bit more of your own thoughts and opinion on the subject?

A months old article - is this the only thing you can offer, Roski?

Also - I'm seconding the suggestion that this thread is totally redundant.

How about a series on HBO about it? The man went to Russia and recorded the action as it happened.

These vigilante groups are absolute asshats, and the fact that the Russian goverment sits there and enjoys the parade isn't helpful. Where the the hammer that Stalin bitchslapped Hilter with? Because Putin needs to bring that hammer down on them.

From the source:
He looks like a young boy, no older than 18 years old. Standing naked in a bathroom, he’s surrounded by a group of grown men and forced into the tub. They are armed with a large plastic penis and a bottle filled with urine. “Have some piss,” says one of the men, emptying the bottle over the boy’s body and head. He crouches in fetal position, whimpering like a wounded animal. In Russia, attacks like these are common among the only nation that spans across two continents, and perhaps the only place where vigilante groups hunt gay people for sport.
