Roman Alymov Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Sooo, you have edited YT video as a proof? Proof of what? It was you words that this actions were "symbolic" - then i asked symbolic of what they are? As far as this video show (and as far as i could to some extent compare English subtitles with what Polish speakers say) this symbolism is far from being European internationalist and multiculturalism (i am not saying it is wrong, as it is up to Poles - but if here in Russia, some of the slogans cheered on this video are subject to bring person under criminal investigation, and Western press would parade it as sign of growing Russian fashism). If you as native speaker see some parts of this video edited to change its meaning etc - well, you could explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanoid Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 The guy speaking first is a former priest, kicked out of the priesthood by the Church, and rightly so. He was known to be a 'priest of ultranationalists'. You can see ONR (National-Radical Camp) flags where he's speaking. It's one of quite a few of marginal, ultranationalists parties/organizations, many of which view Russia and all this Third Way/Eurasianism crap favourably. Some of them (radical nationalists and even radical commies) merged and formed a party called Zmiana (Change) some time ago. Zmiana's head is currently under trial for espionage (for guess which country). Also, proofs were shown about Zmiana and some other organizations being partially financed from guess which country. Guy's line of defense is that he 'didn't know about it'. The second woman is some nobody. A lot of material in the video is from March of Independence, that takes place on 11.11 every year. It is indeed true that vast majority of Poles don't want any refugees from the Third World shitholes. When a previous gov agreed for a 'batch' of 6 thousand or so people were truly pissed off. Current gov has backtracked from this. And of course we're not in favour of multiculturalism, but that's nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Zmiana's head is currently under trial for espionage (for guess which country)" - very interesting how outlaw political leader could be spy. Was he allowed access to classified information, despite of his very specific status?"The second woman is some nobody" - how often are "nobody" allowed to speak in front of crowd that looks far bigger then our local ones described by Western media as "massive anti-Putin protests"? And you say it is regular event, not something extraorfinary.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Alymov Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 "Putin is part of a continuum that stretches back to the tsars"What a surprise, really. The very existence of separate threads for “Putin” and “Russia” indicate at least some people think Putin is something special and outstanding.
