They actually say that speaking Russian inhibts an understanding of Russia. Yes, thats what they are saying. Amazing. They also ramble on about expat ''russophiles'' -whatever the fuck that means -doing damage to the language. There's also a riduclous statement about expats whose attempts at Russian make them feel superior to their friends who dont speak Russian. Could you actually dream up bullshit like this, if you sat down and deliberately tried to do so? I couldnt anyway. My dodgy home-cooked Russian is learned as a necessity - I live and work in Moscow. Its not done for any other reason. None of my friends actually give a shit that I speak Russian. The whole -and I mean whole -website is based on shitty, childish one-upmanship about ridiculous, metricious things. As for the translator, who by the way DID NOT write that piece -cos as surely as westerners dont perfect Russian, Russians dont perfect english - he should be ashamed to be associated with this website. Never mind, I'm sure that the FSB know who he is and where he is. The arms of the Empire have a long reach. Remember Leon Trotsky?? And if he's American, then what a poofter. He studied Russian at university and thats it. He can speak Russian but is actually not qualified to do anything. Except speak Russian. Did you take a break stacking shelves at Wal-Mart to write that piece?<br /><br />Ger O'Brien<br />IrishmanIrishmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01558276383675719375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25230932.post-42378814814360261902007-02-02T20:39:00.000-05:002007-02-02T20:39:00.000-05:00Get real, since when does a command of Russian neg...Get real, since when does a command of Russian negate understanding what's going on in Russia.<br /><br />My parents didn't speak German but they were not compromised in understanding what was happening in Nazi Germany.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179466916477423331noreply@blogger.com
