This is where your ilk is wrong about Russia. Russia does not have anything like the media that China has. There is openly anti Putin newspapers in Moscow ( The Moscow Times) Vladimir Pozner , the guy who did a show with Phil Donehue in the US in the 80's , has an interview show on Russia's main Channel One TV station. It is commonly known that Pozner doesn't like Putin.
Russia basically has an open media. China clearly does not. But this Navalny affair gives people the impression that Navalny is the only person in Russia that criticizes Putin. It is a sham.
The Economist has an anti Putin Russian language TV show in Russia. And Russia has RT in the US. The battle is in the open.
Russia learned a lesson in the USSR times. It's better to have the battle in the open. China still does it the old way. Even pro Xi personalities get sensored.

Do you ever ever ever engage that grey matter inside your head before you post? You must have some, surely?

You got one thing right, at least.
^ The "freedom" index eh:rofl:
It's 110% biased. What Russia watchers actually know and what the "freedom" index says is 2 different things. But it's funny how they could bend Russia into that category. They didn't have the gall to put it in the same category as China.
To be fair, he loves dictators . . . from the safety of his home in Australia . . .
He is a comically inclined cretin, give him some credit
I take back what I said about 'comically'. He is simply a cretin, has never heard of the PFI but knee-jerks his drivel at the drop of a hat.
Ok, I'll humour the mini-fascist:
Didn't they teach you this at Wazza Waldorf University, Luton online-branch?Quote:
The Press Freedom Index is an annual ranking of countries compiled and published by Reporters Without Borders since 2002 based upon the organisation's own assessment of the countries' press freedom records in the previous year. It intends to reflect the degree of freedom that journalists, news organisations, and netizens have in each country, and the efforts made by authorities to respect this freedom. Reporters Without Borders is careful to note that the index only deals with press freedom and does not measure the quality of journalism nor does it look at human rights violations in general.
No, it's 110% not composed by Putin and the press he controls.
Thanks, Hatty...
...one more time before he scuttles off and pollutes, tail between his legs, brainfarting his crap over some other poor sod's thread with his nonsense.
You are an idiot backspin and I can only hope you don't breed.
He posts and comments on links without having read them and hopes others do the same so he can get away with his garbage.
So far, so good . . . "his flipper" (how he refers to his Filipina wife) and he have not reproduced.
The world is full of deceitful wankers with an agenda.
I've just got off the phone to my dad who was bemoaning the fact that my mum can't get the vaccine "'cos of the Indians and Pakis in Manchester stealing it for their families...and the surgery is closed anyway (I explained to them when I was home in the summer why medical professionals were being protected)."
All his life until a couple of years ago, he was a working class Labour party man, but he is now pro-Trump, pro-Brexit and has just told me I won't understand anything until I'm older than 65, and the Daily Mail is a great paper.
I despair. I really do.
The Economist has a Russian language TV station.
Here is the list of censorship cases that The Economist has come under. Russia isn't on it.
Sections of The Economist criticising authoritarian regimes are frequently removed from the paper by the authorities in those countries. The Economist regularly has difficulties with the ruling party of Singapore, the People's Action Party, which had successfully sued it, in a Singaporean court, for libel.[146]
Like many other publications, The Economist is subjected to censorship in India whenever it depicts a map of Kashmir. The maps are stamped by Indian customs officials as being "neither correct, nor authentic". Issues are sometimes delayed, but not stopped or seized.[147] On 15 June 2006, Iran banned the sale of The Economist when it published a map labelling the Persian Gulf simply as Gulf—a choice that derives its political significance from the Persian Gulf naming dispute.[148]
In a separate incident, the government of Zimbabwe went further and imprisoned The Economist's correspondent there, Andrew Meldrum. The government charged him with violating a statute on "publishing untruth" for writing that a woman was decapitated by supporters of the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front party. The decapitation claim was retracted[149] and allegedly fabricated by the woman's husband. The correspondent was later acquitted, only to receive a deportation order.
On 19 August 2013, The Economist disclosed that the Missouri Department of Corrections had censored its issue of 29 June 2013. According to the letter sent by the department, prisoners were not allowed to receive the issue because "1. it constitutes a threat to the security or discipline of the institution; 2. may facilitate or encourage criminal activity; or 3. may interfere with the rehabilitation of an offender"
Current Time TV (Настоящее Время) is a Russian-language television channel with editorial office in Prague, created by the media corporations Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty with participation of Voice of America. The channel - via RFE/RL - is funded through grants from the US Congress through the US Agency for Global Media.[1] Representatives of the US government, including the head of the Governing Council on Broadcasting, are prohibited from interfering in the work of the channel's journalists. The media sees its task in "promoting democratic values and institutions". RFE/RL launched Current Time, in October 2014.[2] The official round-the-clock broadcasting began on February 7, 2017.[3][4][5]
Current Time was instituted as an alternative to "Kremlin-controlled media" and "Russian propaganda".[6][7] Despite the fact that Current Time was intended to counterbalance Russian official news coverage, Kenan Aliyev,[8] executive editor of Current Time, told Reuters that C.T. was not counterpropaganda at all.[9]
Current Time is available on cable, satellite and digital platforms in Russia, the Baltics, Ukraine, the Caucasus, and central Asia.[9] It had o

There is US sponsored media , going straight into Russian homes , that take steaming dumps of shit on Putin.
You probably didn't know that.
You are very stupid. Thick, in fact. An embarrassment to your family.
You probably did know that.
Please do not overdo it, the criticising of the said govt, we have heard also many similar threats from your friend Hatty how he like to scold his Aunty Cindy and die Tante Merkel, let them govern "In Ruhe"...
You do know surely many others who you can "criticise", don't you?
^Such comments (comments?) I saw last time in kindergarten... (but with a bit more sense...)
O.K. your 24 hrs are up and I need a laugh.
Do you know what GDP and PPP is? (Klondyke you are allowed to help)
Are you saying that Germany and Russia have the same GDP?
Are you saying that Germany and Russia have the same PPP?
Google it again or use common sense. Be careful what you read, maybe read it twice, get someone to help you, get a translator that has a gugu gaga function.
21 Jahre
Is that better?
Now please do me a favor and help skido figure out that Russia has only half the GDP /PPP of Germany.
I know its a hard task.
And when you look at it realistically its another minus 62%. But that will be to hard for skido to figure out.
Thank you
HtG
Do you think this ridiculous preamble makes you sound smart ?
In purchasing power parity terms , Russia has around the same GDP as Germany. 4 trillion give or take. Here it is List of countries by GDP (PPP) - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Does Russia have the same GDP PPP as Germany per capita ? No. But that's not what I was saying. And you are confusing nominal GDP with PPP GDP. Not with GDP per capita
Class dismissed
You mad box headed sour kraut

No shit Sherlock, glad you figured it out. Now you can play with your numbers all you want, but you are way to dumb to understand them. Russia has nothing to offer/sell but their natural resource. And this prick called Putin did nothing to change it. Their economy/stock market is totally dependent on the sale of their resources.
Here is a link that will clearly show you the difference between Germany and Russia. Even an idiot like you should be able to read the chart. Russia is ALWAYS on the lower end.
https://germania.diplo.de/blob/12575...hjahr-data.pdf
Just imagine Russia had no natural resources. Where would your beloved Russia be Dumbo?Quote:
With a share of 62 percent of the value of all exported goods, raw materials remained Russia's number one export hit in 2019
Now take your numbers and shove them up your ass because they are useless when we talk about Russian economy. Why do you think the russian stock market keeps breaking down when the oil price is down? Ahhh shit sorry, was too complicated for you again.
Years ago Germany was ready to invest big time in Russia but Putin blew it. It will be interesting to see what will happen to North Stream II. In the beginning I was a big supporter of N.S. and even owned a few Gazprom stocks (sold them), but now I'am slowly changing my mind about it.
How do you fuck up a country and its economy? Ask Putin :)
They bred them dumb in Russia . . . Klondyke is a good example
I suggest you use a better online translator, this one sucks. At the same time use your new one for your Russian/English translations as well.
Anything makes you look a fool, Skidmark.
Nah they opened that big Mercedes plant. Russia's economy has been diversifying over the years. Yandex , the Russian Google , is the biggest tech company in Europe. 5th biggest search engine in the world. Russia is the world leader in civil nuclear powerplant exports. They have 39 projects on the go. One in Hungary, one in Finland. The US and China have a combined 16.
Russia is the 2nd biggest arms exporter. Russia has led the world in commercial satellite contracts over the last 10-15 years. Russia has lots going on. Always room for improvement

Dangerous enough to have multiple governments always keep a tab on him and how he's mostly unchallenged in Russia.
No it's not better, but you could do surely better...
And about the economy it was not me. In fact, I would not dare to comment on economy, when there are here some highly likely educated in that subject...
- Only Mercedes?! Should have been a lot more. Just look what the Chinese did. They let all the German companies in and now they are buying them.
- Yandex is Russian /Dutch. Ever heard of SAP? Miles apart :rolleyes: (Yandex = the biggest tech company in Europe ??? doubt it very much)
- Nuclear power plants are for wankers and a thing of the past. Germany gave up research looooooooong time ago.
- If Germany would not have such strict arms export rules Russia would only be selling Kalashnikovs :rolleyes:
I will give you this:
"Putin is the tenant of one of the biggest gas stations in the world" :)
It's good to see that someone is still taking the time to highlight Skidmark's lies and fabrications, Herman
How so?Quote:
He proved that you were lying, as usual.

SAP isn't a tech company in the contemporary meaning of the phrase. It wasn't a startup. SAP isn't a tech start-up.
The definition used for a ‘digital tech business’ in the Tech Nation Report is a “business that provides a digital technical service/product/platform/hardware, or heavily relies on it, as its primary revenue source.
