Your intimate feeling toward Russians

dont be sorry, my parents are good friends with some Russians, have been for years and they are like family. i think Russians are cool! (except for one on this forum, but he pretends to be British anyway lol...)

Until I left Poland the only Russians I knew were male Soviet soldiers stationed in Poland. I didn't feel inclined to develop any intimate feelings towards any of them.

Sure, do you remember Pilsutskiy? He was a real dictator.

Certainly Poland is not among states of first world

I do not know exactly what you meant, but of course Poland is one of the most agricultural states...really I don't have any idea is it bad or good, let's think it is good.

Sure if Poland is an agricultural, it has its own peasants. But I want to note that in times when some parts of Polan were connected to Russia after 1794, they where populated by most illiterate and retarded peasants in Europe. And it was totally Polish government whom we can blame in this fact.

My dear MAFIA is an Italian product, but sure Poland have their own bandits on the Belorussian border.

Dont be so rediculous, Poland had stolen this lands in previous epoch from Russia, this lands nevere been yours (or Litvenian).

What? Who was genocided?But in my turn I want to point you out that it was Poles who ventured conc.camps for Soviet soldiers after 1920. And it was exactly polish generals who said that GOOD RUSSIAN ID A DEAD RUSSIAN.

It is suppoused that Poles are totally teetotallers?

Well and so on.....



There is nobody on this board who was insulted by me, I just expressed my oppinion, which means only one point, that it was sounded too insincerely.

I just want to swing your deepest feelings. Come on express somthing else, more than one-dimentional - "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH"


Well I thought that it was Helsinki who had been build as imitation of SPb, by Alexander I.

Crow, are you insane?

Actually Our Finnish brothers in most cases are treveling not to see SPb beauties but to drink madly.

your sir are what we anglo saxon/celts call a FU**WIT. He runs tours of respect to the sites of the seige of leningrad and the battles of the winter war.

Who? Finns? HA-HA! So they are pottering across Nevskiy Prospect (main street in SPb) abselutely drunken and in process of searching of this sites? Is it exactly what you wanted to say? I saw them alot by my own eyes? Ask Maxx!

Im still looking forward to it - and after seeing the film Cuckoo I think Im looking forward to seeing drunken Finish men too ;-)

Yes,but shelley,even if you chain them to a rock.........;)

er,nope,not having been brought up in a communist shite hole I tend to say exactly what I mean to say..........

Heh drunken Finnish men is only a part of the deed, I am sure, you can see drunken Finnish women, and it is very peculiar, I bet you will forget about SPb architecture.

You can be sure that I wont, I love beautiful architecture.



How rude..

Really well. thx for asking. :))

F*CK!!! This Anglo-Saxons I am still impressed, how you can manipulate with your f*cking continious forms of vebs "HAVING BEEN BROUGHT", confound it!

I get the feeling that you still have a somewhat simplistic view of history. But I'm sure you'll cover these things in sixth grade or thereabouts, so no worries.

See! You didnt say you hadnt liked drunken finnish women, so...?

Hello, I am Irish and having grown up in the west not much information was getting through about Russia, Only stereo types and propaganda about Russian Mafia (shoot first ask questions later) and communism (misery).
Communism is not Russia.
The only thing that really got through was the fantastic writers (even in translation were brilliant) chess players and scientist.

I dont really have any thoughts on drunken finnish women or not until today and the only thoughts I have now is that Finnish women get drunk......

Con, Im going with the sole intent of seeing some beautiful architecture and visiting a country I have been curious about for a long time, eating some nice food and maybe conversing with some locals....Drunks I can see on the streets of England ;-)

Give me a break! And name us writers do you know! D-a-st-a-ev-skiy and Checkhov supposed? And whom do you know among scientific workers? Well, it is interesting, really. Tell us?

I have always admired the soul of the Russian people. Their music, literature, ballet and inventiveness are superb. These are the guys who invented the surgical staple gun to quickly suture WWII wounded. It took the west 30 years to get around to using them.

At the same time, I fail to fathom how they are so willing to accept dictators whether it be Czar Whomever or Stalin or Putin. I read a book written by a Frenchman who visited Russia in the 1800s, and his narrative could have easily described a visit to the USSR in 1950 with the secret police, subservience of the church to the state, and the perks of the rulers.

Kostya old buddy,your a bl oody awfull advert for Rusia,your the Russian Gregory.........Boze moi,even when people come on here such as SeanBM saying nice things about the place that had nukes aimed at us for 50 years(and counting!)you have to be a nasty little boy and incredably condisending. Tell me Kostya,just how many Irish writers do you know?

Ohhhh!!! You may be proud, you took the wrong book to read about Russia, suppose it was DeCustine's trevel in Russia? Secret police, subservice, perks? And you still love russian culture?



Brem....upsss....Stocker? may be?

exactly,go do us and Russia a favour and jump in the Neva....

Constantine -Russia always fumbled along behind and grabbed Poland's coat tails in a vain attempt to get some cred in Western Europe. You still have along way to go to take your place in the ranks of civilised nations - until such time, remember your place. No one likes pretenders, especially violent ones.

Oh no, it's too far from me, about 700 km. Moscow-river is much nearer.



Hah, I see here a real brave Polish soldier, do you want to contest with me overe a cleare understanding of Russo-Polish common historical events?

well,ok then,your choice,wouldnt want to put you through too much trouble all those check points to go through and bribes you would have to pay to get there:)

Not at all, it is just a question of lazyness

Found you out,your not Russian,you must be English :)

Are you kidding, I hate tis arrogant nation and their language which I was forced to learn by my mother (sure exept you my friend, course I love you....well, just a little).

newsflash kostya,im not english.....

You're absolutely correct. The title is Letters from Russia by Astolphe de Custine. I didn't keep it, but found it very interesting. It's not the only book I've read on Russia. There have been several. I have to agree somewhat with Winston Churchill's "Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma."

So what was wrong with de Custine's book?

Also, you asked for "Your intimate feeling toward Russians." The fact it has been ruled tyrants for centuries doesn't take the beauty of Russian literature, music and art. Even during the Communist era, underground art flourished.

I can almost guarantee that most Poles have no problems with the Russian people, its just your government and the history between our people that creates a sort of resentment.

"Express your feeling toward Russian"

With individuals - love for sure.

As a whole - I cannot forgive a knife in our back when they entered Poland on 17th Sep pretending to be friends, only to start mass murders one day after. In this case I'd rather prefer the Germans - they made their point clear and obvious.
