Life has gone better EVERYWHERE in Eastern Europe and I'd live in any eastern country before Russia, considering freedom and economy there. We may not be the welfare state level yet, but that Soviet Union was an utter shithole in almost every way. Sure - everyone were equal and shit but people had to wait years to get a phone, had to stand in extremely long lines to get clothes or even for food when they finally had some in shops and were extremely lucky to get a license to buy a car. Not to mention sickening propaganda and repressions. Normally no one was let out of that big abomination. I've been lucky enough to born in a free country already, but these dark times will never be forgotten by older people. Only countries who have gone backwards since the fall of the USSR are some central Asian countries like Mongolia and Tajikistan. Maybe for Belarus as well, but they've remained a dictatorship. Catastrophe my ass... Putin himself is the real geo-political catastrophe here.

There are countries doing much better than us, like Czech Republic or Slovenia even in Eastern Europe. The Entire East block haven't had very much time to build their countries to the level of let's say Scandinavia yet. Some have succeeded more, some less. Maybe this could have been quicker yes but it is what it is. If people had had a chance, even more had fled from the USSR. People could travel to Sakhalin islands at any time but not to Helsinki that's 80 km north from the capital. I didn't really tell that Estonia is doing good, but life is still way better than back then. If you don't believe me, and you have a right for that, you may ask older people. No one really wants these times back. This large growth you told peaked in 07 and rather bad crisis came after. This was a massive bubble caused by real estate field. 09 and 2010 were really tough years. But steadily things are getting better and we're slowly getting there. Nothing will come overnight though and there's a possibility we'll never get to the level of Australia, but we'll have to wait and see. Definitely working class wages are ridiculously small around here since our governing parties are very right winged. Also highly qualified specialists, like doctors, tend to look towards Scandinavia more and more. This is a massive problem actually. As for corruption - our place according to corruption index have been in 30 something while Russia's rank has been around 130 or so. Of course we could do better with that too. With everything almost. But our starting point in 91' wasn't certainly very good either thanks to that great country that once was. Free market isn't a bad thing either is it? On a large scale it has been a massive success, at the same time planned economy hasn't worked out at all. But I really didn't want to talk about these problems right now and really didn't want to focus on Estonia too - it's clear to everyone around here that we have major issues to deal with as it is also clear that things have gone better since the Soviet times and that was basically the whole idea.

The USSR wouldn't have been a shithole had it not been a prison. I do agree. But crossing the borders wasn't something unheard of. Yes, there was propaganda, so you've got sick propaganda everywhere any time. It's whether you pay attention to it or not. When you mention the long lines and the unavailability of goods, then you most probably speak about the economic disaster of the 80ies which actually led to the collapse of the USSR and was a result of gross mismanagement of state. (as if the leaders have learnt anything of it, in Russia it's been continuing on a larger scale) On the other hand, a flat could cost you 4000 roubles and if you made 400 a month, then it' wasn't as bad as working your ass off and kicking the bucket before you manage to pay the mortgage (seeing the current trends). According to my gran, the exchange rate between rouble and SEK was 1:1 and visiting relatives in Sweden wasn't a problem. For 700 roubles you could buy a colour TV-set (that was a big thing) or a trip to India. While the prices of technology drop as new models are being introduced to the market, a trip to India remains expensive. Yes, the media writes that Soviet era was icky and yet people survived it. For some reason many old people say that the current Estonian state is a disappointment to them. On one hand, they were young and full of energy during the USSR after surviving the WW2 and the Stalinist repressions and actually managed to work it out, on the other hand, they're now living with 400 a month, and while many of them are not whining about it, it's understandable that they expected somewhat more from the dear leaders who think of filling their pockets first. A neighbour, a young woman, works as an assistant teacher at a kindergarten, taking care of children who are our future. The money she earns barely pays the rent not to speak of feeding herself or her children. If her husband weren't working in Finland, they just wouldn't have no food nor roof above their heads. And that's the reality of many people. It's just not fair. At least the achievements in the internet and technology sector have been remarkable. Russian visitors are often positively surprised. "Europe, after all." So yes... not all is lost... But still... And once again... the Estonian media is as stupid as Russian media... it picks up the worst shit and multiplies it and makes those unfortunate people who buy it go absolutely nuts and throw all objective and reasonable thinking out of the window.

08.10.2014 - 21:48 Written by Nucky on 08.10.2014 at 11:32 Here, here brother. You guys are lucky up there not have to deal with them, but then you have an other issue, the influence of Austria and the EU in general can be felt stronger there, that's why when Yugoslavia ceased to exist, Slovenians were much easier to separate from the Federal State. Sad, but what can you do. When NATO wants something, NATO gets it, and the best economy for the USA/EU/NATO is war economy. Written by Bad English on 08.10.2014 at 02:50 I consider myself a Serbian still, since the first generations are hardly accepted, and I will always be a foreigner regardless if I lived here 10 years of 60. If I came here when I was 5, then maybe I would consider myself an American, when you come later in life, you can change your name, you can learn the language and everything that goes with that, but where you were born and raised will always be home, and you will associate with your heritage. I think that is a normal thing, around the time when you have kids, and your kids have kids is the time when they would be Americans. I noticed that in USA. Aside from Muslims who keep their heritage more indoctrinated, there are only Asians that are as vigilant at keeping the heritage thing going. Most Europeans easily throw away their culture in exchange for the new one.

09.10.2014 - 21:50 Quote:Quote:Written by Bad English on 09.10.2014 at 12:07 The thing was, after Tito arguably there was no one strong enough to take charge of Yugoslavia. The other issue is that in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina we had both foreign operatives and domestic ones preparing for war. The issue with Yugoslavia is that everyone but the Serbs, and a handful of Croatians and Bosnians continued to push forward their own national identity. I mean, we still have people who embrace the Yugoslavian ethnicity, and while that would have been good for everyone in the long run, it did not happen. In Serbia during the time of Tito, Serbian Patriotism and Nationalism were suppressed and this ideology of Yugoslavian identity was hammered in every day. That is why it was easier for Slovenians and the rest to separate themselves from the Federation. We had two issues with the Federation. First, when each member joined the Federation, they agreed to put aside all of their differences and all of their issues, and hammer them out beforehand, meaning, once you joined, there were no more territorial disputes and no possibility of someone making claims about this that or the other. The second issue is that these things were straightened out in theory but not in practice. So after the death of Tito, the elements in each of the states that wanted to separate were preparing for conflict. Most of this was funded by the UK, USA, Germany and France, as we later found out. NATO could not tolerate a strong country like Yugoslavia at it's southern part, so they sent in jackals, bought of politicians or just assisted politicians who were already nationalistically oriented to create a conflict. I think if all of them set at a table, and discussed this a tragedy could be averted, if in fact they could at all separate. The Federation had a clause as I stated before that once you joined, you could unjoin without the consent of the Serbian people, since Serbians, Croatians and Bosnians constituted a majority people, and had a say in all state of the affairs. I think the best example I could show, would be if any state aside from Texas would want to separate from USA, they would not let it happen because the agreement was made. Here, in the case of Yugoslavia, Croatia decided to change their constitution by making a constitutive majority of Serbs, to citizens of third class with no rights (we can see some of that mentality still in Croatia, where they are destroying Cyrillic boards and are not giving Serbs any rights). This was of course planned with NATO, so with the aid of NATO, they expelled over 250.000 Serbs from Krajina and god only knows how many were killed in the operations "Storm" and "Flash." WIth that, they took a chunk of the land that did not belong to them, and made their country bigger. Bosnia did pretty much the same thing, but this time the Serbs reacted before hand. I can say whatever I want about Radovan Karadzic but he did try to save lives initially there, because the Yugoslavian military confiscated weapons in order to prevent bloodshed. The Germans sent weapons with secret planes at night, and armed the separatists while promising them more support, but first there had to be some kind of a disaster for them to intervene. So Alija Izetbegovic, with Naser Oric decided to sacrifice a town, and make Serbians look like the bad guys. Mind ya, this is more or less a Civil War, many people did not have uniforms or anything like that, so you had rag tag groups running around with a belt here, a riffle there and so and so forth. So Naser Oric sent his men, and they burned many villages, killed many people (they estimated around 3000) in the area close to Srebrenica. Serbians took the bait, and attacked Srebrenica, where they expected Naser Oric to be. He was there, but he retreated with his troops and gave some weapons to the locals to defend themselves and left if maybe 300 as back up. Fighting ensued, many people died, some from disease, other from fighting and some from starvation. At that time we had the Scorpions, the paramilitary outfit that ran around without the direct control of Belgrade, so they did what they did, they executed Muslim boys and committed a crime, a massacre, that the Bosnians keep calling a "Genocide." And slowly but surely, the numbers magically continue to rise from 300 to 500 to 800 and now we are at 8000 or something, which is not true. They dragged bodies from the battlefields and copied the names on the tombstones, and they are using this as a propaganda against the Serbs. You are right, in war all sides share responsibility, and no one is perfect and innocent. I have to first say, that initially I did not think much about what happened during 1990's with these wars. I thought that the Serbs were indeed bad and evil, and I was a Serb myself. It took me years, of careful research and investigation, reading reports, testimonies to determine that we in fact did least amount of damage and the least amount of hurt if we looks at the civilian and soldier casualties. So if I thought one thing before and I was there, I can't blame the people from the world who don't know any better, because conspiracy or not, media does not portray Serbians or Serbia in a nice light, because NATO needs to justify their crimes. When the USA blames Serbia for crimes against humanity, I have to laugh. If we look at the last 50 years, the country that bombed, invaded and killed so many is in fact USA. I am on the side of the truth, and if one thing that bullshit court in Hague showed me, is that the truth is coming slowly out. The Serbs were blamed for bombing Merkale Market Place, and we come to find out that it was the Bosnians who bombed themselves to create a reason for the UN/NATO to step in. And I still need to remind everyone that most landmines were sold to each side by the same "peacekeepers" in the blue helmets. As far as Kosovo is concerned, Serbia did not have the means to solve that issue in time. If they stepped in there and tried to take care off the problem, USA/NATO would have bombed Serbia sooner. That's what happened in 1999. THey claimed that Serbia made concentration camps, and was executing Albanians. BUt to this day there were no graves and no evidence of this ever taking place. The Germans showed a documentary only once, where the one of the UN experts, who was there in Kosovo before the bombing happened, stated in his report that there were only 29 Albanians killed, and these were the members of the KLA/OVK who attacked police, and were involved in terrorism, extortion, murder, drug and human organ smuggling.

09.10.2014 - 23:45 Written by Bad English on 09.10.2014 at 23:07 I don't believe in it either. Serbians, Croatians, Bosnians, Montenegro people and parts of Macedonia people are all Slavs. Good portion of the Croatians, I would say 1/3 if not more are all Serbians who got forced to take the Croatian identity in order to survive. The vast majority of Bosnians are Serbians, since Bosnian is a geographical term, not nationalistic or ethnic term, that identity came much later, when the Ottoman Empire invaded. So in essence Serbs, Croatians, Bosnians and Montenegro people speak the same language with a different dialect, and that language is Serbian. Montenegro people are Serbian, but their leaders are bought off and influenced to create an artificial identity. I mean, one of the Serbian Patriarchs, one of the most important ones Petar Petrovic Njegos did not consider himself Montenegran but Serbian. Macedonians have a derivative of Serbian and something else since we have a lot of the same words. Kosovo still has Serbians there, the Northern part and some in the South, but not much, since the Albanians expelled and killed the rest. USA did the same thing, I mean all of the powers did what they wanted because they are super powers. Do you think the Jews forget the holocaust or do you think the USA will forget 9/11? I don't think so. The thing is, the issue is not resolved, there is a lot of bad blood there, and that will not stop for generations. We are not people who forget things like that. Also, you cannot forget something that's in your face every day. For instance Kosovo, even if we gave up on it, and didn't talk about it, the Albanians or Shiptari are causing problems down there, Brussels is insisting on Serbia allowing for a Kosovo "President" to come to Belgrade (which is bullshit since we do not recognize them as a country, Kosovo is Serbian). And on top of it all, you hear comments from down there and threats that they will take more of our land and kill more of our people. On the other side in Croatia, you have Ustasha parades and politicians feeding the people with hate towards the Serbs, like I said before, not allowing for Serbian language to be used, no Serbian markings anywhere and no Alphabet. On top that, the Bosnians are calling for another bloodshed with their Islam and whatnot, and are parading in German SS uniforms calling for violence, and sending their kids to Syria and Libya to fight. When they come back,they start to train guerrilla fighters that they will send for terrorist attacks. Even if you wanted to forget, you can't, because if it isn't the Croatians, it is the Bosnians, if it is not the Bosnians it is the Albanians, if it is not the Albanians, it is the UN, if not UN, it is NATO if not NATO it is the USA... Another war will happen in the Balkans, because the great powers want it to happen.

10.10.2014 - 21:04 Written by deadone on 10.10.2014 at 03:35 From what I remember, they have far less than they claim to have. The thing is that Albanians don't have any culture, until the arrival of Islam. I had an anthropologist explain to me a difference between people and I can't translate the expression he used, but it basically summed up the Albanians. The thing is, most Albanians are not Albanians, many of them are Serbs, Macedonians, Greeks and others, that were forced to take that ethnicity. If you look at the Albanians from Albanian, they are much darker in complexion, and have more pronounced facial structure, you look at Shiptari and the Northern part of Albania and they are fair skinned. But honestly, Albanians have no claim for Kosovo, they claim it is Dardania now, and that is something they cooked up just recently, maybe in the last 100 years, and they are brainwashing their kids in believing that. There is no record of Dardania ever existing over the territory of Kosovo, and actually the very first time Albanians enter the mention in Serbian history is during the Emperor Dusan, who allowed them to settle the Northern part of Albania in exchange for border protection. They were once Orthodox themselves, but with the coming of the Ottoman Empire, they converted. The interesting thing is I found that in Albania there is still a decent chunk of Orthodox Albanians, and a portion of people called Goranci, or Muslim Serbs who have been assimilated in order to survive. Like I said before, Kosovo is just the start of bigger issues, since they want Greater Albania at expense of everyone else. You mentioned Serbs wanting Greater Serbia, that was a plan many years ago to unite all lands where Serbians constitute a majority, which means it would have incorporated Krajina, today's Srpska and few other areas. While I do not agree with Serbia taking lands that Seselj and men like him wanted, I didn't see in the original plan anything that would suggest that Serbians would've taken anything by force there. Serbians had a chance before and after WWI to seize more land, but they didn't, and if I remember correctly they even helped Croatians more than once, regardless of the fact that the current political climate changed and people forget that. But what I see, regardless of how I feel about Croatia and Bosnia, that all of us in the Balkans got fucked over, and that the theft and exploitation is just picking up the pace, and neither Serbia, nor Croatia, nor Bosnia will prosper, the big powers will, as usual.

12.10.2014 - 14:20 Written by Bad English on 08.10.2014 at 13:00 Don't know but when it comes to Kosovo, the land was always Serbian.. Albanians are muslims, decendents of Turks who came to Balkans centuries ago.. Same is with Bosnians.. Bosnians are Serbians who took over islam as religion.. Their language is very similar to serbian, probably the most beside Monte Negro wich was also Serbian once..

14.10.2014 - 21:19 Written by Nucky on 13.10.2014 at 09:52 Greater Serbia was a stupid idea, but we didn't lose Kosovo and Montenegro because of it, we lost it because of the economic hitman and foreign jackals. Milo Djukanovic was and still is a US asset, and as far as Kosovo goes, US/EU wanted it for its resources. Many of the people who were for the war and bombing like Madleine Olbright, Robin Cook and few others are reaping massive profits from the telecomunication industry, mines and quite a few things. Even General Petreus recently purchased a crap load of land and a factory or two, for nothing. Divide and conquer.

15.10.2014 - 06:06 Written by Bad English on 15.10.2014 at 00:27 Well what happened was the following. EU/USA urged the Serbian government (nice way of saying threatened) to allow Albanians who wore terrorist insignia KLA to enter the country in the first place. Then the brother of the Albanian Prime Minister was found to be the one who piloted the drone and brought the flag (he also happens to be an American citizen). To make things interesting the flag they paraded was not Albanian flag, but "Great Albania" flag, in which Greek, Serbian, Macedonian, Montenegro lands are all under the Albanian occupation (just as I explained few posts ago). Our player grabs the flag and all hell breaks loose. Serbian embassy gets attacked in Albanian, right now you have 300 police officers securing it while the Albanians are throwing rocks at it and shooting from automatic weapons (most of them are former KLA which were trained by the US/EU forces in the first place) and the Albanians tried to enter the city of Mitrovica (Serbian held city) with the use of firearms, and they brought down several of Serbian sites down. And this happened moments after the game was stopped. Like I said before, even if the Serbs wanted peace and could forget about Kosovo, instances of this behavior add more fuel to the fire, and knowing their plan it would be stupid to lay down arms and just do nothing. I salute my people for not taking anyone's shit, especially not from someone who still lives in a stone age like Deadone said.
