Russia... Is our government really brainwashing us?

..

If there wasz any brainwaszhing doine in the cas of the Ukraine War it is done 90% of he tgime by the USA Government and media - faithfully copied by the EU media.   

The Russians doies allow fco the normal sream of propaganda to continue.  BB put constant videos on site claiming in one that the Russian peopl are afraid of going to jail when criticizing the Russian Government for the War - yet he poste a stream of videos in which supposedly people inside Russia crticized the Governmnt and blame Putin for losing the War. 

The general Russians do not undestand or speak English - many are caable of speaking German than English.   Reason - hundres of thousands of Russian troops served in East Germany during te cold wa years and there leanrned to speak German well enough to leasn he language. 

From the time of Petger and Cathrerine the Great there were lclose links between the Russians and the Germans.      Catherine the Great was in fact a German princess Catherine was related to her German cousin who was picked by the Empess lizabth to succeed her as Peter III who was a Grman through and through.   During that time tan even before that tens of thousands of Germans were imported into Russia - even  Tolstoy was descended from afroma German to migrated with 3000 servants moved to  Kharkov and aftewards to Moscow.   and from there to St Petersburg.   Descendents of those people are still using German as their home language.   

So all the street interviews that BB regularly posts on site are seriously difficult to believe.   

Jaysus Mary&Joe ......... ouMaaik, for the umpteenth time, this is a Russian conducting street interviews with Russians in Russia. Perhaps if you actually watched one the penny might drop.

As a matter of interest, 80% refuse to partake in the interviews & the 80% number has been f airly consistent over the hundreds of interviews held in RUSSIA.

You are an idiot if you think the general public in Russia knows English and is capable of dbeing interviewed in English.    The inteview would have to be conducted in Russian adn the answes would be translated by the interviewer,   

This type of thing  is what can be called utter BS.   And to make deductions that it is really that any answers would be given by the interviewer is crazy.- in other words it is a total waste of  thinking ability to take anything like that seriously. .              

Most educated people around the world can speak English, regardless of nationality. 
It is the dumb Christians who support Putin.

Russia has had major brain drain since the start of the war, and it is the dumb rural farm animals that so love Putin

BS

English is not generally spoken in Russia.and v ery few people are able to speak it.   Ten times more Russiansd are able to speak German than English.   Own experience when visiting Russia myself.    

Language category in the world :-\

1  Mandariun and Chinese

2   Hindi-speaking people in India 

3   Spanish

4    English.

English is normally spoken in ex-colonies of the UK and in some countries where it is the second language of most people.     In Russia it is other than Russian probably the 10th language spoken.    

SB 

You have a total braindrain since the starting of the war because of taking over of your thinking ability by propaganda.    TNhe Russians in gveneral dislike the English and since they are cultiurallym more advanced than the English they look down on the EVnglish language as well.   They have no lov e for the English spaking people in the world anyway.   It goes back hundreds of years anyway:-

1.    The Russians refuse to help the English suprressing the USA in their War of  Independence.    The English tried everything and failed to convince russia t send troops to help the English in that and they refused.

2     The Crimean War caused major hatred of the Englisjh in Russia

3      The Anglo-Boer War .- the majority of people supported the Boers and thire were even Russian volunteers fighting against the English in the Boer Commandoes.   The Tsar wrote to the Queen Victoria to end the War .and that letter was ignored by the English.

2       George V was hated by most present day Russians because he would not help the Tsar - his own cousin and supporter of the English in WW1 to escape from the murderous Communist Regime in Russia.     

So why would the Russians in general like to learn to speak English as a language?    .

Chat GPT debunking DumbMike BS.

Many Russians can speak English to varying degrees, but the percentage of English speakers and their proficiency can vary significantly based on factors like age, location, education, and personal interest. Here's a breakdown of the demographics of English speakers in Russia:

 In urban areas and among younger generations, you may find a higher percentage of English speakers, while in rural areas and among older populations, English proficiency may be lower.

Additionally, English proficiency can change over time as younger generations tend to have more exposure to English through the Internet and international media. While it's not the first language for the majority of Russians, English remains an important second language in the country, and its prevalence is likely to continue growing, albeit with varying levels of proficiency across the population.

1. **Urban Areas**:
In larger cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as in other major urban centers, you're more likely to find people who speak English, particularly among the younger population and those working in industries that require English, such as IT, tourism, or international business.

2. **Educational Background**:
 English is a mandatory subject in Russian schools, starting from the early grades. This means that many Russians have at least a basic knowledge of English. However, the level of proficiency can vary widely.

3. **Age Group**:
Younger Russians tend to have a higher level of English proficiency. They often study English from a younger age and have more exposure to English-language media, the internet, and international travel..

4 **Higher Education**: University students, especially those in fields like international relations, business, or foreign languages, are more likely to have better English language skills.

6. **Rural Areas**: In smaller towns and rural areas, English proficiency is generally lower, and you'll find fewer English speakers. (*Farm Animals)

7. **Business and Trade**: Those involved in international business and trade are likely to have a good command of English.

The only Englisjh-speaking people I came across in St Petersburg  were tour guides and two mai; Prostitute who wanted to sell his services for 20 dolars and in an even lower category of life - a sv iet spy.   She told me she was stationed in Beira at one stage .   I obviously declined the offer and during that tiime also visited Pretoria and Johannesburg.    Lower category because she served the people you admire so much.

Have  you eve been oin  Russia?   You seems to think that Anti-Russia propa ganda is factual and always the same story'     Why should that be?

The Russian people in general has one general trait in general - they love their cun try and is proud of thei history and cuklture.   Because of oppression of religion by the Communists they became more religious became an antidote against oppression.   In the end their h opes of frfeedon of opresssion was realized.   

Those are elements that you hate and make you an easy victim of propaganda BS/

*      The greatest novel ever written   -   War and Peaqce of Tolstoy

Yjere is one Russian tennis player I admire - not only for hios tennis - but rather for his outloojk on life-    Some of his public statements are - 

*     the world should be kinder and kindness will make us bettter people

*     girls cry because they need more love;

*     "No War Please

The  above tyoe of public statements makes him a crowd favorite and whenever he plays he had a huge crowd support base - they even support him in Spain when playing Spanish players,   .    He is a favored friend of virtually all tennis player and any criticism of him as a person in the tennis playing world is unheard of.   His main admirers in the tennis world are Dimtrov, Frtiz, Zverev, Medvedev, Djokovic,  Berrettini and a host of other tennis players.    Nobody in the tennis playing world ever said anything nasty about him.    Dimtrov once said he loves the way he wears his heart on his sleeves,  He also called him a soldier fighting for the good of all people.   That is a major reason for my admration of Rublev as a person.  His father was a wrestler and his mother was a tennis coach travelling awaay from home and he was raised by his grnadfaher and grandmother - a lady from Vienna.   They tauight hinm the things in life that really counted  and he believe really n what he always say publicly.   He even gave up his Nike sponsorshup to develop his own brand with a personal emblem aimed at enhnce kindness and goodness in people.   Ahufe financial loss fr him - but his design and sportswear in games is sold around th world and in his favor is the ossibility that he makes even more mney from his brand than he got from Nike.\

If kindmess to all people becxame the wrld norm the wold wul;d be a better place to live in.   Maybe we should all learn the Rublev prmciples and the world would become a better and safer place than it is at present.                       .   .    ,
