Tsar Putin spreads his tentacles

I only mentioned that i didn't think there was that much difference in culture.. These 2 countries been intermingling for centuries..

Not quite as much as between the RUB countries... like superstitions, everyday norms, food, etc. The reason why they are all together is because it used to be just Russia but Ukraine and Belarus flags were more or less equally represented, so it just made since to make it official.

Hmm did you know the biggest percentage of Georgia consists of Russians and Ukranians.. What is Tajikistan??? I agree not many Americans marry Georgians or even know of this country. Stalin as I recall is from Gali, Georgia.. I'm not sure how the culture is different because Georgia been under Russian Rule from 1922-1991.. It wasn't until the Rose Revolution did Georgia truly break away..

Stalin was from Gori

And now, according to Why_Me you're one of those "brainwashed Russians", who say that Mr. Iosif Jugashvili was Georgian, so welcome I'm not sure what's brainwashed in that though... it's just true.

I totally agree with eekee, but sometimes it's impossible to expain anything... When you keep hearing on TV and radio how bad imperialistic Russia is and how good is the States (doing the same things, but apparently, if Russia was doing it to African and Middle-Eastern countries, it would be totally fine), you actually start believing in it. Whatever. I should be thankful for taking part in those discussions anyways - I took my first state exam yesterday and apart from other stuff I had to speak about "Mass Media: information or propaganda?"

Although, I'm really really tired of the same thing going over and over again.
