I have moved on and this bitterness comes from meeting Russians in Russia who are very racist. Not all but a lot hold a very negative opinion on people of different skin color and religion. ESPECIALLY if youre a jew. I thought they were communist and believed in equality and that every one deserves to live whereever they want to live. That isn't the case. I know what type of people I talked with and they were all fairly intelligent. But I guess its a funny type of racism until you see cases where people get beaten up or killed just because of their skin color or for being foreigner.
I would like to see these bastards try to pick on me and then see what happens . Oh wait I was attacked in Ulfa by a group of 7 skin heads. So nvm. I know what it feels like getting soccer punched and than knocked down and being kicked by so many people. Had I seen them coming it would have been different b/c i wouldnt have bleed so much. The fucking c unts made my mouth and nose bleed. My whole fucking head was hurting afterwards. But who cares because I stood up and fought them until they eventually ran off because the fight turned against their favor. I didn't know it but a fucking cop was watching and once the fight was over he arrested me and i had to pay a fucking fine plus the treatment of the cops at the station was not very good at all. My skin color is white so i don't know why i was attacked or why the cops kept smacking me in the head and talking to me in a threatening voice. The cops did worse damage to me than the gang of 7 skins. I had to cut my trip to Russia short because of the injuries i sustained while in the custody of the cops.
I just see Russia as one of the worse countries possible for possessing nukes and having so many resources in their possession. They will do a great amount of evil in the future if the trend of xenophobia continues... |
This explains why you have a big thing against Russia, you're blaming all Russians for that misfortunate incident. Thats a dumb move. I've read bad experinces with certain ethnic group, but I dont hold these minorities in grudge, only the persons involved.
By the way, its not just in Russia where neo-nazis are on the rise: Baltic states like Latvia have a huge nazi revival, they even paid for the flights and accomodations of former SS officers to come to Latvia and join in the parade, with young people, to show example. And the government allows this, some of the officials are actually endorsing this. Here's an article from my Internet Explorer Favourites Archive:

Bomb Explodes Ouside of Russian Embassy in Latvia
second bomb attack in four days by extremists in the Latvian capital, Riga, damaged property at the Russian Embassy on Monday and prompted Moscow to warn that "fascists are raising their heads" in the former Soviet republic.
As with Thursday's predawn explosion at Riga's synagogue, no injuries were inflicted in the Embassy blast, caused by plastic explosives detonated in a cement trash bin.
The attack was being linked with a rise in nationalist and extremist actions that have defaced monuments and unsettled relations among Latvians, Jews and Russians.
"Explosions rock Latvia, monuments are vandalized, fascists are raising their heads. This must be stopped," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in an official statement condemning the 2 a.m. bombing. "We demand that the Latvian authorities take drastic measures to punish those guilty."
In Riga, Latvian officials ordered intensified security around buildings that might be considered targets by nationalist extremists. Latvian President Gunter Ulmanis vowed that law enforcement officials will bring the tense situation in his republic under control and prevent any further "acts of terror."
Alexander Udaltsev, Russia's ambassador to Latvia, joined republic leaders in blaming the incident on those trying to drive a wedge between Russians and Latvians.
Those divisions already run deep because of Latvia's restrictive citizenship and language laws that make it difficult for Russians who settled in the republic during more than 40 years of Soviet occupation to secure jobs, residence permits and even international passports. At a March 3 rally to protest the precarious conditions for Russians living in Latvia, police used clubs to disperse the mostly elderly demonstrators, spurring bitter complaints of brutality from Moscow.
The Russian Foreign Ministry blamed the bombing outside its Riga Embassy on "anti-Russian hysteria recently produced in Latvia and the encouragement of nationalism and extremism."
Almost 500 neo-Nazi collaborators marched through the Latvian capital last month, including several high-ranking government officials who were fired or reprimanded only after the synagogue bombing. Russian and Jewish monuments have also been defaced in recent weeks.
"Any manifestations of terrorism are utterly unacceptable," Latvian Foreign Minister Valdis Birkavs warned after the blast outside the Russian Embassy that damaged four cars and parts of the building's facade. "The executors of this cynical and outrageous crime will be unable to destabilize the situation in the country and discredit the prestige of Latvia in the eyes of the international public."
But even before Monday's bombing, Jewish and human rights organizations had been pressing Riga officials to take more decisive action to prevent extremist expression and to extradite and prosecute Latvians accused of Nazi war crimes.

I am having a hard time finding a recent decent article on Nazi skinheads movement in Latvia right now. Though I have seen many video clips of many of them marching, saluting like to Hitler and chanting anti-jewish anti-Russian slogans in Latvian, courtesy of Russian TV ;-) On May 9, 2005 while the rest of the world was celebrating defeat of fascism in World War II, thousands of these pigs were celebrating the nazi revival ...
