Oh Motherland...

Read this, then the blog. I don't buy it, though some of it is probably true... The guy who wrote it isn't a journalist, which is clearly noticeable in the way he writes, it's more like a column in how it's structured. I mostly wonder why the hell it's placed under news... And the fact that extreme right-wings organizations are on the upswing isn't something exclusive for Russia, it's the same thing here. Most of the racist parties have gained a lot in the latest readings, some have actually doubled. Though then we have to take into account that they don't have more than 1-2 %, and that's after they've gained some.... What further discredits this article is the fact that it's in such a crappy excuse for a paper. Look at the rest of the content for example... Kate Moss and Harry Potter. So it's a children's magazine, why didn't it say so? And the name of the article was probably what drove the stake trough poor old Dracula...

Sex for the motherland: Russian youths encouraged to procreate at camp

Yey! Sex! And what was the point of the whole thing? Mainly to compare todays Russia to the old Nazi Germany. So the name of the "article" was only to get peoples attention, and if that was what got their attention I strongly doubt that few of them got further than the picture... And to mention another thing that you did see if you payed attention, the guy is the author of the upcoming book "The New Cold War and How to Win It". Which means it's more or less commercial for his upcoming book. Though I agree with him on a few point, Putin is edging more and more towards fascism, which anyone with half a brain has noticed by now. Russia has always been a poor country, in comparison with the rest of the worlds industrial countries, nothing new here. The fact that the situations hasn't changed is what is most terrifying. The Nazis took power in Germany because of the instability's there, and the people thought that a strong ruler would be the best thing to regain stability. However the Nazis failed to do so, and therefore blamed Jews, Gypsies and a bunch of other groups to avert the anger of the people. That is of course the simplified version, and if you didn't get it, i suggest a quick visit to a very good site to learn a bit about modern history. www.wikipedia.com Though as anyone with a braincell knows, you should never totally trust wiki, always double check your info. Mindfuck for all!
