Mr Putin, what do you think of your "useful idiot"
supporters on Free Republic?

Useful idiots

Thomas Sowell
May 20, 2003

"The term 'useful idiots' has been attributed to Lenin, as a description of those mindless people in the Western democracies who would always find ways to excuse whatever the Soviet Union did. Columnist Mona Charen's new book Useful Idiots shows that such people are still with us.

Long after the Soviet Union's horrors had become too widely known around the world for their sympathizers in the West to be able to get away with whitewashing the USSR, new Communist dictatorships arose to become the new objects of the affections of the Western intelligentsia and of like-minded people in the media and in politics. ..."

when so much information is thrown out there in 1 post, which is happening a number of times on this thread, it kinds of numbs you to the important parts

And under Putin, Solzhenitsyn is required reading in Russian schools

Yes, KGB/FSB Putin really loves the children. Especially the little boys.

"He seemed to me very independent, very serious, but at the same time a boy is always vulnerable. He was very sweet. I’ll be honest: I felt an urge to squeeze him like a kitten..." —Russian president Vladimir Putin, sounding like Michael Jackson

___________________________________________________________________________________

"In the footage, Putin, 53, is shown walking up to a small crowd of tourists in a Kremlin courtyard and crouching down in front of the boy, who appears to be five or six years old. As the Russian president talks with Nikita for several seconds, he tugs at the boy's shirt before finally lifting it up and kissing him on his bare stomach.

"He seemed to me very independent, very serious, but at the same time a boy is always vulnerable. He was very sweet. I'll be honest: I felt an urge to squeeze him like a kitten, and that led to the gesture that I made. There was nothing behind it really," Putin said, smiling.

Anyone who grew up with the Eastern Orthodox Church (in my case, the Greek Orthodox Church in New York) will get a good laugh at Vladimir Putin pretending to be a Christian during his first Easter as Russian ruler.

Chekists in Cassocks: The Orthodox Church and the KGB
KEITH ARMES

Of all Russian central institutions, the Russian Orthodox Church and the security bureaucracies alone have survived the collapse of the Communist system. In fact, the last six years have seen an impressive revival of religious life throughout the former Soviet Union. Despite this rebirth, the institution of the church, in particular the Moscow Patriarchate, is having difficulty maintaining its identity and credibility after seventy years of faithful service to the Communist Party.

Well, it’s Sunday. Take your time. :)

Anyway, I always highlight the most important bits.

From there you can decide whether or not to read further on that particular matter.

Nothing you wrote is true.

Когда вы понимаете, что Путин является богоподобным человеком, и что Россия является единственным спасением для мира?

[Lazamataz]

Россия является единственной преградой между цивилизацией и анархии. Чем раньше вы поймете, что, тем лучше вы будете.

A lot of folks here don't seem to know or understand that the KGB were masters at the art of deception. That, terror, and murder was what they were all about. And now, as an earlier post of mine states, Putin seeks to bring back the KGB!

Donald Trump: 'Putin has eaten Obama's lunch' on Ukraine

Mar 13, 2014
Eun Kyung Kim: TODAY

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."

The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

Solzhenitsyn is required reading in Russian schools,

Interesting...

If you asked any millennium, in the USA do yo know who Solzhenitsyn is, their response would be most likely

Is that a new Russian drink?

My great-grandparents lived in Danzig from about 1890 until 1945. In 1945, the Soviets made them leave their house by sundown pretty much with the clothes on their backs. In their late 60s and early 70s, they walked back to Cologne where the family had lived until the 1890s. Fortunately, my grandfather had left in 1927 and took his young family to NY City. I never heard stories of my great-grandparents 700 mile march back to Cologne, but I know the rest of their lives in Cologne were awful. I can imagine it was a dreadful march with no clean water, scarce food, and the threat of death and rape everywhere every day. Great-grandfather died the year I was born, 1951.
