The mongol invasion was just another Monday for them. Reminder that the ruling caste that weathered the mongols to become the first dynasty of tsars was Germanic descended because when the Slavs heard of vikings setting up as rulers of swathes of England, they pointed at that and said "yes that is perfect for us" and moaned at the vikings until they found someone dumb enough to bother with their backwater.

^^^ that's totally bullshit, but Muscovites being a core of new Russian empire instead of Kiev or Novogrod was a terrible thing.

It still works to illustrate they were hosed up since time immemorial since that was the story they wished to present to the world, and it was compiled before the Mongols ever stopped by to visit.

That "Lonsdale"-thing is done outside of germany, too? In the middle of a room full of swastikas?

To clarify: German Neo-Nazis wear Lonsdale to avoid the whole nazi-ban. By wearing an open jacket over that shirt, you can only read NSDA, the first 4 letters of Hitler's NSDAP. No idea why russian neonazis care about that.

He can be not aware of that. And just copy what he saw on The Internet.

E: But I linked that video not because of that. This guy is dancing while Lezginka plays on the background. This is a caucasian national tune and dance. Neo-nazis hate Caucasians.

What's the Russian Nazi's opinion on the Abkhazians and Ossetians? One would think they would be seen as brethern on political grounds, regardless of being members of the Persian ethnic family.

Heard a hilarious account today, amazing amount of Russian-speaking vagrants(tourists e.t.c.) 'spontaneously' appears around the Nato exercise area.

Not sure, but then the whole Right "movement" is split into a million small factions that have their own set of opinions on every issue. I'm sure there must be those who like Ossetia for whatever reason. A good example is how the whole Ukraine debacle has split the nationalists right down the middle. They either love what the government is doing there, or hate it with a passion.

My favourite are the 40 year old fatass SS reenactors you see on youtube walking around some field huffing and puffing, 10bpm away from a heart attack. The absolute worst are the guys who dress in full SS regalia to go to a tank museum and make sure a friend has a video camera rolling at all times so they can handwave their totally inappropriate Nazi fetish as, "this is for a historical review video, I'm not racist".

Whether Blatter took bribes or didn’t take bribes, what does it matter? Is every one else totally clean?
