Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: >Russian law became more liberal during the 1990s, largely thanks to Western political pressure, and public opinion seemed to follow. Gay sex was decriminalized in 1993 and in 1999 homosexuality was removed from a list of mental disorders. In that year, ....
Comment preview: Being a Russian with some Latvian roots born in Moscow/USSR and living in Latvia since 1990, I can say that articles about "Russians in Latvia being oppressed" in most if not all cases are crap and propaganda. Pretty much all of those who're still aliens a ....
Comment preview: Russian here. Your question is meaningless since there is no factual difference between 'russian land' and 'neutral land within russian boundary'. He's been under the russian government surveillance and total control since he had crossed our air border. I ....
Comment preview: Russian here. After reading the comments here about how "Russians are stupid for thinking this", "They are all stuck in the past", etc, I felt like this needs a disclaimer: we did not all get together, hold a national referendum and agree that this poster ....
Comment preview: Me from Estonia here. This one "guy" is president for one of Baltic states. And we here are very much interested, what is going on in Ukraine. And we have quite a history with "sneaky invasions" by Russia just like happened in Crimea. For 2 freaking genera ....
Comment preview: Wow I'm late to the game. My story will be buried but this question is too specific to not answer. I know both Russian and English and I live in Las Vegas, NV in the USA. There aren't too many Russians here, especially in my part of town. In fact, I've met ....
Comment preview: Russian here. Spent about an hour looking into this story. The Reuters story seems to be based on [this November 14th press release](http://www.prlib.ru/events/Pages/Item.aspx?itemid=1077) from the Russian *Presidential Library*. It talks about how 50,000 ....
Comment preview: Russian here, with partial Ukrainian roots. From my personal interactions with fellow Russians, people are *very* pissed about this. While their take on Crimea intervention ranges from cautious support to vocal outrage at the breach of Ukraine's sovereignt ....
Comment preview: I've been following this subreddit as my main source of information on the conflict, and here is as far as I've came to answer this question myself. The scope, of course, is only this sub. 1) People here are tired to no extend in defending themselves. The ....
Comment preview: Russian, here. In summer numbers on unemployment were less than 5% which is actually less than healthy level. Russia is actually was more jobs than people willing to take it. Russia was second only after USA destination for migrants by number. Now it's cha ....
Comment preview: Russian here, any smart Russian leaves the country ASAP, which is why those who are left behind are not the kind of people I would want to associate with. I suppose it's the equivalent of an educated person in the U.S. leaving Alabama to a better state. To ....
Comment preview: You mean he basically panders to whatever shit you people upvote... Also, he's constantly full of apocalyptic and completely wild 'predictions' about how Russia is about to topple over and dissolve into 20-40 regional states or all sorts of other crazy stu ....
Comment preview: Haha, have no fear, the Resident R/Propaganda Russian is here! Anyway, the title is actually a bit misleading. 'Ludoed' is often used as a stock character in Russia, much like the Western ogre, but it refers not to the appearance but to something else - ca ....
Comment preview: Russian here sharing thoughts on the Ukraine situation. Background: I own a small IT company with offices in Moscow and Kiev. Traveled to Kiev a lot in 2013, last time in December. Have mixed Ukranian/Russian employees in Kiev. Putin has always been seeing ....
Comment preview: Hey guys, Russian here. I'm way to excitet for this speech, since we all have been expecting some crazy shit to be thrown out of it. But instead mr. putin just said a bit of nonsence and pointed out Russian problems with a straight face. He is such an idio ....
Comment preview: According to a Russian Redditor: **EDIT** I am at work and did this quickly - so here is the link for people thinking I am Russian or saying this, it might be confusing some I am neither. I found his comments interesting and thought others might take some ....
Comment preview: Russian here. *Da chuvak, chert, ya Russki, prosi verifikatsiu s menia yesli ti mene ne verish - ya smotru na tebia, Foma Neveruyshchii. )))* People in certain parts of Europe (thought usually not Russia) may like to laugh at 'dumb Yanks' -- but as I can a ....
Comment preview: Russian here who lived in saint petersburg. Russian do not LEAVE to KHL. Russians choose to come HOME. It is like having Canadians who play in Euro/KHL teams come back to NHL. Even if the money is the same, most would choose a HOME country to play in. Also ....
Comment preview: Russian here, which ones? Most of it is thoroughly staged (stupid as it sometimes looks). * the playgrounds are really often creepy / half-assed * the bus stop one is people compensating for the lack of benches * grade 7 teacher is nothing that special, t ....
Comment preview: Okay, Russian here. The USSR lost the cold war, which wasn't surprising if you take into consideration the situation in the country after WW2. Getting from ruins (approx. 25m dead) to the launch of the first man-made spacecraft in 15 years was quite an ach ....
Comment preview: Russian here. I, as well as the vast majority of Russians, would gladly live under Putin for the rest of my life instead of under Yeltsin and the oligarchs for a single week. The reason no one votes for anything other than Putin's party is because everyone ....
Comment preview: Russian here, although I moved to Canada in and around the age of four. I've never been back to Russia, but my parents have, and they shared the whole view that homosexuality was wrong and should be punished, etc. I was so afraid when I came out, but I gue ....
Comment preview: Russian here... slightly improved translation (mostly that zaprotivilas means resisted/struggled.) Nazi soldier killed his family and commited suicide in anticipation of the soviet army. Yevgenii Haldei: "I came over to the park by the parliament building ....
Comment preview: Russian here, kefir ( ) is a delicious yogurt drink. In America I've seen it sold as Lifeway brand. Usually it's flavored/sugared the for American palette, but they sell Derevenskiy - "country-style" kefir in some places, which is more authentic. In Russia ....
Comment preview: Russian here. It's madness for me to imagine a war with Ukraine... To put it into perspective - it's like if in a course of a week USA started a war with Canada for example... Millions of people have relatives in both countries. Many relations..history..is ....
