Well, guys have created the english-only part of forum.
Everybody is invited try to login to http://forum.moemnenie.info/forumdisplay.php?f=61

Feel youself as at home :)

If you see a lot of russian words try to scroll down to bottom of the page: there's a drop-down box above the ads to choose language.

A good point to start with might be http://forum.moemnenie.info/forumdisplay.php?f=36 - there are a lot of photos made by users across of the world, but mostly in Russia. You can ask question about any photo in English - your post will be translated (by me and some other volunteers) and moved to the English-only branch.

The forum is non-commercial, there's no commercial ads, it was organized as attempt to create absolutely non-moderated communication channel with only one rule "no flame".

Though there's only one such branch on the forum today, and all the others are more-or-less moderated, but any way, our community is something between New-Hampshire (at least as i was told about it), anti-utopia fantasy and Heinlein's "The Moon is the harsh mistress".

Ask me if you need a help or guys with nicknames: Soapmaker owner of the domain, Worker - soccer fan, Topsik - journalist who goes to USA quite often.

Don't pay attention on posts in russian - it would be translations of your posts for non-english speaking user. While there's much more than one translator you can be sure the translation is as close to yours as possible.

Good luck!

It is simple to explain. The racism came to Russia just in the very last years with capitalizm. So you can see it affects only new generation (below 25) and i'd like to say a few big cities like Moscow. For the others racism events as usual no more than mimicry and jokes.

So what you have read is about small groups of students. They role is overestimated for propaganda purposes.

But i have to admit in the feature this problem can grow indeed. Russian government need an enemy to explain why most of russians are pure despite of many oil-bucks.
