Hint: look at the map and start pretending you can think :winkwink:

Yes they are. The North-Eastern ones.

In my map Ukraine is not part of Russia.

In your map Finland is not even on the Earth, but who cares about your it? Don't do drugs and everything will be all right :2 cents:

Now tell me a country that does not have a slum area?

This study confirms that, showing that Northern Russians (but not Southern Russians) significantly intermarried with Finno-Ugric peoples, while Southern Russians (but not Northern Russians) intermarried with Germanic peoples. Russians were also found to be genetically tied to other Slavs and to Baltic peoples and to a lesser degree to Iranian and Turkic peoples.

Lots of Finnish contribution in the genes of Northern Russians.

Russian ethnic history inferred from mitochondrial DNA diversity - Morozova - 2011 - American Journal of Physical Anthropology - Wiley Online Library

from wikipedia:

Controversy persists over whether the Rus? were Varangians (Vikings) or Slavs. This uncertainty is due largely to a paucity of contemporary sources. Attempts to address this question instead rely on archaeological evidence, the accounts of foreign observers, legends and literature from centuries later. To some extent the controversy is related to the foundation myths of modern states in the region. According to the "Normanist" view, the Rus' were Scandinavians, while Russian and Ukrainian nationalist historians generally argue that the Rus' were themselves Slavs.

thats so sad, but im sure there still are nice places to visit

Yeah it's a twisted world, shocked how bad some have it while dickheads have more money than most countries.

Problem with money? Don't be a religious (Muslim) extremist, work as others and everything will be ok with you, your family and the place you live in.

I won't! :thumbsup Just saying some asshats have way too much money.

Just came across this fugly old school pics of the soviet past. So creepy, makes me drink more vodka to forget it.

at least people were close to each other ;-) that times and you could always listen to Vysocki from your vinyl and drink some cofee with friends in your house :winkwink::winkwink:

that guy in the SUV with gun is cyberseo, lol ;-)

Dude, you dont know what are you talking about. The whole country as a concentration camp... coffee... Vysocki. WTF?

Definitely him.

you mean - was ?
btw. what did I tell about UAH to usd one year ago ? 15:1 ? its already over 20:1...

did foreign "investors" came already to buy everything in bargain ?.........

I don't like guns :)

I've been a dozen or so times, and while there are a few nice areas, the city is mostly shit. I have a close friend in MI who says Detroit is making a turn around very slowly, though.

Russian invasion and investment is hard to mix, foreign investors and countries do help. Blame Russia, Ukraine is fighting back.

While rats like Sid70 are running away from the sinking ship - the only contribution they can do for their Motherland. Those animals are pretty useless and disgusting :disgust

oh yes, they will. gratis, for nothing. charity work. :winkwink:

where you country have been in last 26 years after Soviet Union colapsed ? what were you doing as a country to improve your economy ?

you had 4 (or 5?) revolutions in 26 years...

WAS is the key word.. Alaska was owned by Russia before the US bought it. Russia let go of parts of it's land for various reasons.. It's not yours anymore.. You have no right to try and steal land from Ukraine it's not yours.. no matter what it was in the past.

I know my country has been robbed for decades since Independence. No President did any good, I know that. What are you trying to imply? 2 revolutions as far as I know - we're on the way to improve our society and quality of the nation. Any other questions?

good luck with that. what im trying to imply is no revolution will help you unless you change your mentality and start to work !

the other thing: calling people on the east of your country as "terrorists" its just ridiculous. and what is going there should be judged later by international court..and im telling here about both sides of the conflict...while probably Kiev side is doing worse things there.

but to be honest - i think that the smartest and most determined persons should leave your country if they have no possibilities to grow and live there. i see nothing bad in it.
and probably that was and is and will be the only way to have life with dignity for most of the people in your country. unless you are gangster/ politician..sad thing

1. It takes time. It happened to all of the ex Soviet countries.

2. East side situation is war, they are being supported by Russia.

3. Apparently, there are patriots in Ukraine.

I must say when Poland was in trouble in 80s there was a war state, people, who didn't want to participate, gained a refuge status or simply moved out of Poland that actually never had any real border with the West. Ukrainians are locked in, there are not so many countries they could go and settle without significant money and paperwork.

Novorossiya or Novopoland Sid...

then it were just 1000's, most determined.now- there are milions.
war state was only for 2 years and it was actually nothing. much better than what ppl from Eastern Ukraine have now since year

if you are truly determined and smart you can go whereever you want. thats the natural selection

#bluewinky

STFU.:1orglaugh

Most of the determined and noble were killed in revolution ( 1917 ), war, by Stalin ... I truly believe the best part is long gone, we lack elites badly, I personally think ex FSU is just a DNA dump.

Here you are sid:

It's east to West Sid.

What are you trying to say?

Thank you, I value your input, ops, not. Keep the info for yourself.

Lame. Can you post a time laps?

Agreed and you are the best example for such a DNA junk. You did nothing for your country. You have escaped it like a rat. You are a heavy dinker w/o roots and Motherland. It must be really sad to be a person like you.
