Putin:
Maybe they are not even Russians, but Ukrainians, Tatars or Jews, but with Russian citizenship, which should also be checked; maybe they have dual citizenship or a green card; maybe the US paid them for this. How can you know that? I do not know, either.
Western MSM:
Of course, Julia Ioffe is a Jewish ultranationalist who believes that simply talking about Russians’ contributions to victory in WW2 is anti-Semitic:
Putin came to the Jewish Museum on the day of the liberation of Auschwitz and said: “Of course, the Russian people carried the main burden of the fight against Nazism, 70% of the Red Army were Russians. And the biggest sacrifices were made by the Russian people.
And then they say that Putin isn’t an anti-Semite.
But pointing out context like this is why I, too, am an anti-Semite.
I still like her better than Podhoretz.
There was complaint recently that Trump called places 'shithole' and introduced this word into discourse.
But with Ioffe's Russophobia - we have:

Why did Putin make that statement though? What was his point in making such distinctions between Russian citizens based on ethnic origin? Seems especially odd given his hostility to Russian nationalists which you have often pointed out.
In English language, they don't have the distinction between nationality and citizenship. (Although in the UK, they have four nationalities - English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish - with UK citizenship.) His comment was rather strange and unconvincing, but nothing at all offensive in it - just a typical tangential and meaningless Putin answer to a question.
The story is mainly a translation mistake. Because in English they don’t have the distinction between Russian nationality and Russian citizenship. Combined Putin’s often strange tangential way of speaking. Not much more to it. Otherwise – why are the Tatars not complaining?
Ioffe speaks Russian, so there is no excuse for her.
I would say she would probably have been a good looking woman about 10 years ago.
And she still looked medium level about 5 years ago.
But now she became too old and ugly yet still unmarried, and nobody is pretending to be impressed with her ‘intelligence;.

In point of fact, Putin didn't single out Jews and clearly doesn't lump them all in one negative group, as evidenced by his manner over the years. On the matter of singling out, there has been a hypocritically applied selective sensitivity factor at play in some influential circles.
Note the term "Russian mafia", relative to the actual ethnic/religious backgrounds of a good number associated with that category. A Norwegian IAAF member, recently gave credence to the idea of banning all Russians from track and field competition, regardless of whether they met the anti-doping requirements.
Towards the end of apartheid era South Africa, the IAAF and IOC made it possible for South African nationals to compete at the highest level. Quite different from the current mood evident within some IAAF, IOC and WADA circles, relative to Russia.
Ioffe is a coddled not so great, or even good intellect. Concerning the matters of Ioffe and Russian Jewry:

In the interview, they asked him if ‘Russian nationals’ were responsible. To my ears translates into English as ‘people of Russian race’ (nationality = race). His response was something like they could be another nationality (lists Ukrainian, Tatars, Jews) with Russian citizenship.

Yes, I wonder if he was making some joke in reference to the translator’s choice of “Russian” (the nationality) and “Russian” (the citizenship)?
Nothing offensive in his comment, and you don't see Tatars complaining like American Jews.
I always thought Putin has a weird tangential way of speaking, and seems to talk more and more in strange circles - hopefully he can keep his brain together until 2024.

Never mind the bigotry among a number of Jews who weren’t from the former USSR. I’m not saying that Jews have a monopoly on bigotry. Rather, to underscore the BS said about Russians. Many Russians had an internationalist appreciation of other cultures before Communism.
If Russians are so anti-Jewish, why the many Russian-Jewish intermarrying and why have a good number of Jews returned to Russia, with some who never left?
BTW, I grew up with frequent contact among White Russians as well as mainstream US Jews. Bias aside, I seem to be more objective and well informed on this subject than Ioffe and the JRL court appointed opponents of her.
Yes the interviewer asks him ‘Russian nationals’ – and that is meaning like ‘ethnic/racial Russians’. So it’s obvious how his mind went off on some associative tangent about not knowing if that is true that they were Russian nationality, or another nationality (lists some famous nationalities).

There's a channel that posts pop-sci interviews with various experts. Today's episode was on the Iran-Iraq war. I listened to it and thought, meh. It was pretty rambling.
Then I realized what my problem was. I was expecting the guy would _tell a story_.
There doesn't seem to be that kind of "narrativism" in Russia. In the West, people invited on programs usually have some narrative that they follow, more so as most interviews are done to plug a newly published book or something, so the account they give on a topic is by necessity well-outlined and consistent (it need not be unbiased.)
Btw, I think Putin is among the more lucid speakers.
It’s weird that while we can gather from Ioffe’s words that she is not quite right, she simply does not come off nearly as unhinged as liberal American Jewish writers do. The level of unhingedness is the same, but it manifests itself in a much more balanced and less obnoxious way when it comes from a Jew from Israel or the FSU.
Why do you care? You’re not Russian, no matter how much you wish that you were.
She is – mentally unhinged.
I’m a Russian in any way it would be defined. Well, working all night in the unspecified Western European country right now.
Care for the country is not particularly high, or particularly low – probably somewhere around average as a cynic.
Of course, Julia Ioffe is a Jewish ultranationalist
She defends the construction of a security barrier and that makes her an ‘ultra-nationalist’?
She also defines her Jewishness, her Jewish identity ... in many ways of russophobia-. These morons view the fairly benign pograms and the treatment of a few Soviet jews in the 70's and 80's as not much better than the Holocaust.
On this issue, Dmirtry is sport on:I wud describe her as a jewish liberal etho-national globalist...with no contradictions in that desciption
More searching keywords on Ioffe.
I don’t think she is ultra-nationalist Jew. Just bien pensant liberal American Jew, combined with unhinged suppressed racist tendencies towards blacks, that she projects onto Russians. As her looks fade with older age and she is yet unmarried, this has become more and more pronounced.
Something – she usually thinks that Putin is pro-Jewish.
She seems pro-Israel, but does not tweet about it much over years.
How main theme is a Russophobia and projection of her racist (Jungian) shadow – like kind of angry nagging wife behaves with a hated husband that she nonetheless refuses to allow a divorce to:

I didn’t know Putin had a tendency to make nonsensical statements (I hope he’s not getting senile). I still think it’s weird, from AK’s writing I got the impression that ethnicity is a sensitive subject in Russia and the official ideology tries to downplay possible fissions. So I wouldn’t have expected Putin to make such distinctions.
As for his 'nonsensical statements'. This is also how he avoids answering questions properly. He doesn't give a clear answer, but often moves off topic and starts talking about whatever he feels like talking about. It's also a symptom of power.
He feels free, like he can just talk about whatever subject wants, or start telling anecdotes and jokes which are not always related to the question - and everyone still has to listen to his tangential offtopic statements.
Julia Ioffe’s twitter feed should be required reading for all goyim, especially christian zionists who love, love, love! jews.

Russian is pretty “polysemantic” and high-context if one stops to think about it, and Russians like to ramble.

or maybe culture has nothing to do with anything and there are just good speakers and bad speakers. Lankov (the North Kore…ologist?) for example is a terrific speaker.
there was some UN meeting I listened to, I don’t remember about what (Jerusalem?) Most ambassadors’ speeches were boring formulaic stuff in thick officialese. Nicky Haley’s speech was, by contrast, very lively (and Manichaean.)
I thought he was, with a Jewish grandpa or great-grandpa or something.
The problem is that to be accepted as a Jew by religious Jewish community itself, it needs to be the maternal grandmother.
So I'm non-Jew with Jewish roots (to the third-generation).
Russian has two translations in Russian, Russkiy (Russian ethnicity) or Rossiyskiy (Russian citizenship). Apparently the interpreter translated the question as Russkiy, and Putin made a joke about it. Probably he should have said “You mean Rossiyskiy?” and then moved on.
I actually thought he was trying to make a point about the inherent racism in the US’ hysterical anti-Russia campaign. In other words, you’d never hear anyone replace “Russian” with any of those other three nationalities (note how he chose groups close to Westerners’ hearts). But maybe it was just a weird lapse on his part. The second part of the comment makes no sense either, considering he personally ordered a law whereby Russian citizens are required to disclose to the FMS if they have foreign passports or permanent residencies.

@simply talking about Russians’ contributions to victory in WW2 is anti-Semitic:
She is not alone. In their narrative the War was exclusively the “Anti-fascist War”, the war for the defense and victory of the Jews. When Stalin dared to remind them that 20 mil Russians died defending their country and only 200,000 Soviet Jewish soldiers fell on the battlefield or into German captivity, it was taken as a proof of anti-semitism.
I doubt Stalin reminded them of anything since the official WW2 death tool under him was 7 million (raised to 20 million under Khrushchev, and the accurate 27 million under Gorbachev).

Military deaths were 5,756,000 Russians and 142,500 Jews, to be precise, and comparable as a proportion of their populations (5.8% and 4.7%, respectively).
I doubt Stalin reminded them of anything since the official WW2 death tool under him was 7 million (raised to 20 million under Khrushchev, and the accurate 27 million under Gorbachev).
In relative terms 15% of the Russian population (of course if you consider Ukrainians and Bielorussians Russians).
That only for military deaths. What is the percentage of all deaths for the Russian population, and what is the percentage of all deaths for the Jewish population? Apparently 2 million Jews were still alive when the 'anti-semitic persecutions' of Stalin began, out of 3 million before the war, with 142,000 military deaths.
Apparently one of the manifestations of 'anti-semitism' was the question: Where were you when our people died in the trenches?
You mean she’s not quite as evil as Masha Gessen.
Here is a very sympathetic review of the Putin-Kelly interview by Ray McGovern in Consortium News.
https://consortiumnews.com/2018/03/12/nbcs-clueless-boost-for-putin/
An excerpt:
Can someone in our Russian delegation confirm his translation (& transliteration) of “poniy chush”?
Yes I have Jewish roots. My maternal grandfather was a Jew (through his mother’s side of the family). Although his nationality was listed as Russian in his documents.
The problem is that to be accepted as a Jew by religious Jewish community itself, it needs to be the maternal grandmother.
So I’m non-Jew with Jewish roots (to the third-generation).
Don't worry about not being accepted as a Jew by the religious Jewish community, the Jew-haters will insist upon accepting you.

You dumb POS………Ioffe views herself and her parents as Jews , not Russians (making it particularly ironic this idiot would attempt to critics for supposedly trying to make the same distinction)
She also defines her Jewishness, her Jewish identity … in many ways of russophobia-. These morons view the fairly benign pograms and the treatment of a few Soviet jews in the 70′s and 80′s as not much better than the Holocaust.
On this issue, Dmirtry is sport on:
I wud describe her as a jewish liberal etho-national globalist…with no contradictions in that desciption
If she wanted to be Russian, nobody would stop her (it is not Soviet times anymore), and nowhere on your passport is listed your nationality.
She chooses to distinguish herself as not-Russian (and to endlessly insult all Russians - and even Russian-speaking Americans - as being racist: which she knows is far from the truth).
That is also fine that she identifies as being of Jewish nationality. But then why would you mind that Putin also mentions the Jewish nationality as a different nationality.
Maybe Alina Kabaeva can issue a statement that she condemns Putin mentioning Tatars as a distinct nationality?
She defends the construction of a security barrier and that makes her an 'ultra-nationalist'?
By her standards, yes.
An absurd faux-scandal.
Nobody in Russia considers this an “offensive remark”…how the heck can some ADL idiot, western Russian “experts” and pig-ignorant American senators tell Russians what should be considered offensive in their own language and culture?
It’s good Putin did make the comments because there is a distinction to be made…after all,Poroshenko’s son could well have Russian citizenship because his wife is Russian, he goes around in English schools wearing “Russia ” or “Rossiya” shirts, and of course ,he has helped his grandfather Valtsman to have his first grandchild, a russian grandchild ( Valtsman , that is, who writes letters to the FSB imploring them not to react to the latest Ukrainian provacations, and owes his wealth due to Russia, Russian investors, russian consumers, russian workers………identical to most of these parasitic Ukrainian “patriots” (i.e State Department employees)

I know about that distinction…but I’m still surprised about Putin’s comments. He should have suspected that they could easily be misrepresented.
Russia a multi-national country. And the national question in Russia is a sensitive topic indeed. Putin’s view is that all the different nationalities are great and need to be respected. That is genuine part of his core beliefs – and you can see it in many policies and parts of his life.
As for his ‘nonsensical statements’. This is also how he avoids answering questions properly. He doesn’t give a clear answer, but often moves off topic and starts talking about whatever he feels like talking about. It’s also a symptom of power.

Yes but Putin’s English is not good. When they phrase to him the question ‘Russian nationals’ – this is obviously translated to him as ‘Russian nationality’, and leads to this associative mentioning of different nationalities with Russian citizenship. Combined with his main desire, which is just to deflect away the question in some confusing way KGB trained person might do.
That said, I’m not sure Anatoly is the right guy to be levelling critiques at Ioffe

They both born into the same demographic - people who are born in (Moscow?) and whose parents take them away as children to become Americans.
And they enter the same profession - they are both professional 'Russian watchers'.
They both moved back to Moscow to report directly (although Ioffe left after some years).
The difference is that Karlin writes whatever unpopular or politically incorrect things he feels like.
Whereas Ioffe suppressed and externalized all her politically incorrect views (she is probably a hundred times more racist than Karlin in her true self), and projected it onto Russians and onto her grandmother (who she tweets about how racist she is).
And the final result, is that Karlin writes for Unz, and Ioffe writes for The Atlantic.
Strange choice of words for that lot of Americanized Stalinst LARPers whose sole interest in Russia is as an antagonist for "Anglo-Zionists" in their head canon. It's high time those creeps found another country to project their self-loathing and deranged fantasies onto and leave Russia alone.

All of these people either left Russia long ago or are not Russians. Karlin moved back. It is no coincidence that he has become more cynical, realistic, and critical of the Russian government, after moving back and actually living in Russia – while those that avoid Russia have different opinions.
Talk to Canadians, American, Germans, British - (i.e. the world's most successful countries). And even they have a lot of complaints and cynicism about their countries, despite the fact they live in the world's most successful countries.
The broader picture of the situation, also requires looking at actual data and economic/social indicators.
All those guys are highly qualified in the job that they work in....you are non-talented unemployed mentally ill scumbag
What's funny is that a retarded nutjob stalker moron like you knows all these different pro-Rrussia blogs ( no such thing as an English -language, pro-Ukraine blog exists...otherwise we all know a collection of psychopath would be out on the loose)....hence why a non-life fuckwit like you literally lives on them spreading easily disprovable , attention-whore, time-wasting lies....errmmm no he hasn't you braindead prick.......this is what he has always been like before he moved to Moscow you idiot.....they have been feuding with him before his recent switch . There has been absolutely nothing controversial on domestic Russia that Anatoly has written since he returned.....it's been mainly his comments on Syria and Ukraine and that have got people questioning his anti-Russianisms
Liberal media like Ekho,newtimes are supported by about 1% of the Russian population you idiot
It’s true, because most people complain about wherever they are living – but popular complaining, doesn’t mean things are getting worse, especially for a newcomer which doesn’t see how it was ten or twenty years before.

I had been visiting since 1999, had lived there in the mid 200os and been an annual visitor until 2013; I will certainly be back this year. Improvement has been considerable and enormous. There was something charming about the wild late 90s/early 2000s, although the Russian people didn’t deserve it and are right to be glad that those times are over.
Locals I know are much more like Karlin in their attitudes towards the state and politicians, than they are like Russia fanboys who have not lived in Russia for 30 years. The people with family political connections are most cynical of all. Only friend I know who likes Putin is a former FSB officer who works for Gazprom, but even he is lukewarm. Otherwise – complete disdain for everybody. Though some people like the new mayor of Moscow.
Many mainstream thinking Russians can walk and chew gum at the same time in the form of being constructive critics of Russia, while justifiably opposing the general views of of their country by the likes of The NYT, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC.
You got him pegged, he’s actually a Jew pretending to be a Russophilic German who comments on a sub blog read by about 1000 people at the behest of the Mossad as part of a larger Psy Ops operation. But you can’t fool everybody and obviously he didn’t get past you.
I doubt Stalin reminded them of anything since the official WW2 death tool under him was 7 million (raised to 20 million under Khrushchev, and the accurate 27 million under Gorbachev).
“Together with the Ukrainians and Belorussians that figure rises to 85%.” (Anatoly Karlin).
In relative terms 15% of the Russian population (of course if you consider Ukrainians and Bielorussians Russians).
That only for military deaths. What is the percentage of all deaths for the Russian population, and what is the percentage of all deaths for the Jewish population? Apparently 2 million Jews were still alive when the ‘anti-semitic persecutions’ of Stalin began, out of 3 million before the war, with 142,000 military deaths.
Apparently one of the manifestations of ‘anti-semitism’ was the question: Where were you when our people died in the trenches?
The problem is that to be accepted as a Jew by religious Jewish community itself, it needs to be the maternal grandmother.
So I'm non-Jew with Jewish roots (to the third-generation).
The problem is that to be accepted as a Jew by religious Jewish community itself, it needs to be the maternal grandmother.
Don’t worry about not being accepted as a Jew by the religious Jewish community, the Jew-haters will insist upon accepting you.
When in 1944 the Germans occupied Hungary, they tried to reinstate him as prime minister. (Horthy could use his Jewish background against him; he needed to reject this most rabidly pro-Nazi candidate even when German troops were in Hungary and his position was insecure.)
So a Jewish great-grandparent was no obstacle to being a far right anti-Semitic leader of a far right anti-Semitic movement and being supported in it by actual Nazis.
Are there any anti-Semites who care for a Jewish great-grandparent?
look here..... http://www.unz.com/akarlin/open-thread-37/
Read that thread, and on the Russian sections,Karlin's reading material are only links to the most braindead kreakl dimwits on the planet ...Bershidsky, thenewtimes (seriously), Novaya Gazeta ( and on a defense matter.......even though they have been proven to have written garbage on defence issues for years) , Meduza and probably the Moscow Times.
That's just his links but many other anti-Russian comments and so forth....like the ridiculous,reactionary tosh about Russian "betraying" an anti-maidan activist living in Crimea and supposedly deporting her to Dnepropetrovsk where she hung herself in jail ( to the fake glee of ukrop scumbag dickheads).....in reality she had a big falling out with her brother and other family members in Crimea who initiated criminal proceeding against her, I don't think she was even physically deported.......and she voluntarily went to Ukraine, not the plentiful other places she could have gone to, anticipating she wouldn't be jailed.
It would help explain why profound russophiles like Martyanov, the Kremlin Stooge lot, Nina Byzantina ,Glossy and appear to think he's a big russian liberal 5th columnist and commentators occaionally allude to this
I'm neutral on whether he is or isn't.....but worth pondering.
profound russophiles
Strange choice of words for that lot of Americanized Stalinst LARPers whose sole interest in Russia is as an antagonist for “Anglo-Zionists” in their head canon. It’s high time those creeps found another country to project their self-loathing and deranged fantasies onto and leave Russia alone.
I know the type you are referring to, but serious russophiles, all seem to be strongly convinced that Karlin is a liberast idiot..........this needs consideration.
And to my original point....why is Karlin only promoting liberast scumbag material ?(I forgot to add ekho to his list of links)

In Hungary in the late 1930s there was a central banker turned prime minister who, so Regent Horthy hoped, was to arrest the country’s drift towards far right politics and a German alliance, but who, upon his first official visit to Nazi Germany, was so impressed by it, that he wanted to create a similar system in Hungary himself. He proposed anti-Jewish legislation, among others. Regent Horthy forced him out of office as soon as he managed to dig up some dirt on him. The dirt being a Jewish great-grandmother. (Or somewhere I read great-grandfather.)
When in 1944 the Germans occupied Hungary, they tried to reinstate him as prime minister. (Horthy could use his Jewish background against him; he needed to reject this most rabidly pro-Nazi candidate even when German troops were in Hungary and his position was insecure.)
So a Jewish great-grandparent was no obstacle to being a far right anti-Semitic leader of a far right anti-Semitic movement and being supported in it by actual Nazis.

But in normal life, most people are proud of having different nationalities in their family tree. Certainly for me.
The problem is it's diluted so you would become equally ridiculous if you tried to take on (LARP) your exotic identity, and rejected by the people who actually belong to that identity. Despite that I have some Jewish personality traits, even though it is small minority of my ancestry component.
On Steve Sailer blog there was a lot of mocking about this, in relation to Elizabeth Warren, a politician in America who has some Native American roots, but claimed to be a full Native American. Probably the Native Americans feel she is giving them a bad image as well and will downplay her connection.
They both born into the same demographic - people who are born in (Moscow?) and whose parents take them away as children to become Americans.
And they enter the same profession - they are both professional 'Russian watchers'.
They both moved back to Moscow to report directly (although Ioffe left after some years).
The difference is that Karlin writes whatever unpopular or politically incorrect things he feels like.
Whereas Ioffe suppressed and externalized all her politically incorrect views (she is probably a hundred times more racist than Karlin in her true self), and projected it onto Russians and onto her grandmother (who she tweets about how racist she is).
And the final result, is that Karlin writes for Unz, and Ioffe writes for The Atlantic.
Put mildly, Ioffe has undoubtedly encouraged bigotry as detailed:

The likes of her typically (if not always) get coddled in their mass media appearances.

In Russia and Ukraine, there is also this kind of game as well for politicians, especially if a politicians tries to get an Israeli passport.

Locals I know are much more like Karlin in their attitudes towards the state and politicians, than they are like Russia fanboys who have not lived in Russia for 30 years. The people with family political connections are most cynical of all. Only friend I know who likes Putin is a former FSB officer who works for Gazprom, but even he is lukewarm. Otherwise - complete disdain for everybody. Though some people like the new mayor of Moscow.
Getting away from what Western mass media typically props, I regularly run into Ukrainian citizens (be they ethnic Ukrainian, Russian,Jewish, or any combo of the three and some others) who don’t buy into the pro-Euromaidan/anti-Russian leaning BS.

I’ll add how fortunate it is to have other sources on the subject. Unfortunately, these excellent sources don’t get propped, care of a phony, crony, baloney structure, that’s evident across the geopolitical board.

St
really strange comment….none of those people I mentioned ( I forgot to add The Saker, as well ) fit that description. For starters most are actual Russians, the Kremlin Stooge is an extremely intelligent and well-reasoned guy who is married to a Russian, The Saker is a Tsarist supporter.
I know the type you are referring to, but serious russophiles, all seem to be strongly convinced that Karlin is a liberast idiot……….this needs consideration.

“I’ve been found out!”
Ioffe speaks Russian, so there is no excuse for her.
I would say she would probably have been a good looking woman about 10 years ago.
And she still looked medium level about 5 years ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXRSgYLrglQ
But now she became too old and ugly yet still unmarried, and nobody is pretending to be impressed with her 'intelligence;.
There was no mistaking the hack job done on Putin. Numerous Western mass media articles had hyperbolic titles, erroneously suggesting that Putin singled out Jews. Upon going deep into some of these articles, one was given the counter impression.
Some samples:

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/03/putin-maybe-it-was-the-jews-who-meddled-in-u-s-presidential-election.html

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/377768-jewish-advocacy-group-denounces-putin-for-suggesting-jews
In point of fact, Putin didn’t single out Jews and clearly doesn’t lump them all in one negative group, as evidenced by his manner over the years. On the matter of singling out, there has been a hypocritically applied selective sensitivity factor at play in some influential circles.
Note the term “Russian mafia”, relative to the actual ethnic/religious backgrounds of a good number associated with that category. A Norwegian IAAF member, recently gave credence to the idea of banning all Russians from track and field competition, regardless of whether they met the anti-doping requirements.
Towards the end of apartheid era South Africa, the IAAF and IOC made it possible for South African nationals to compete at the highest level. Quite different from the current mood evident within some IAAF, IOC and WADA circles, relative to Russia.
Ioffe is a coddled not so great, or even good intellect. Concerning the matters of Ioffe and Russian Jewry:

In English language, they don't have the distinction between nationality and citizenship. (Although in the UK, they have four nationalities - English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish - with UK citizenship.) His comment was rather strange and unconvincing, but nothing at all offensive in it - just a typical tangential and meaningless Putin answer to a question.
I think he was being a bit sarcastic. Note the hypocrisy when Russian/Russians is flippantly used when compared to the misinformation regarding what he actually said.
There was complaint recently that Trump called places 'shithole' and introduced this word into discourse.
But with Ioffe's Russophobia - we have:

Over the years, I periodically come across some crazed Zionists who say such about Russian Jews being corrupted in the manner she states.
Never mind the bigotry among a number of Jews who weren’t from the former USSR. I’m not saying that Jews have a monopoly on bigotry. Rather, to underscore the BS said about Russians. Many Russians had an internationalist appreciation of other cultures before Communism.
If Russians are so anti-Jewish, why the many Russian-Jewish intermarrying and why have a good number of Jews returned to Russia, with some who never left?
BTW, I grew up with frequent contact among White Russians as well as mainstream US Jews. Bias aside, I seem to be more objective and well informed on this subject than Ioffe and the JRL court appointed opponents of her.
hahaha! You tried this attention-whoring bollocks before, in your desperation retardedness to be Anatoly’s Bacha boy.Those people I mentioned get their knowledge of Russia and Ukraine from life experience, ….you get your braindead fantasist nonsense from….Wikipedia. They visit Russia, they know Russia…..you know fuckall and don’t visit Russia
All those guys are highly qualified in the job that they work in….you are non-talented unemployed mentally ill scumbag
What’s funny is that a retarded nutjob stalker moron like you knows all these different pro-Rrussia blogs ( no such thing as an English -language, pro-Ukraine blog exists…otherwise we all know a collection of psychopath would be out on the loose)….hence why a non-life fuckwit like you literally lives on them spreading easily disprovable , attention-whore, time-wasting lies
….errmmm no he hasn’t you braindead prick…….this is what he has always been like before he moved to Moscow you idiot…..they have been feuding with him before his recent switch . There has been absolutely nothing controversial on domestic Russia that Anatoly has written since he returned…..it’s been mainly his comments on Syria and Ukraine and that have got people questioning his anti-Russianisms
Liberal media like Ekho,newtimes are supported by about 1% of the Russian population you idiot

Russians aren’t anti-jewish, they submissive philo-semites. jews hate Russians just as they hate all White people.
