I learned some Russian while in Uzbekistan 2003-04. Now I see photos of Moscow streets full of Muslims who all look like Uzbeks.
Don’t know what to think about Russia. Good news is higher birth rate & baptisms among Russians.
Is America once more “glavny vrag” to Russians? V.V. Putin wants to be Tsar Vladimir I. Swallowing up east Ukraine, are Baltic states next? Victory Day & May Day parades look like old Soviet days. This is peaceful?
I don’t think America is glavniy vrag and this term itself is incorrect and I don’t ever remember it in use. It was veroyatniy protivnic back when which is roughly translates as potential foe (means more like possible threat).
I don’t remember may day parade for a long time as well if we are talking about May 1 and as for Victory Day it is quite a traditional event which was in place since 1945 and 1990s before Putin is no exception. I know this rocket launchers drive by has a certain commie look for outsiders but there are no certain commie sense in it. V-day is a kind of military event so it makes sense to drive military equipment on it.
