    What - you mean the money stolen from the former Soviet people ?
    And by the way - you're comment about Abramovich and Chelsea's a bit laughable. Its called investment. Better judgement is the amount of people trying to get into Britain, and the LACK of such trying to get into Russia or any former Soviet satellite

    Yes I mean money effectively stolen from the Former Soviet people.

    An Investment? Pretty poor one that makes no profit, indeed constantly turns a substantial loss.There is a theory that by owning chelsea that he builds a substantial link to the UK should he ever need to suddenly obtain UK citizenship, always a possibility.

    But I agree with the immigration bit. I was at University in Russia for a year and even then they were offering permenant residence with citizenship (like I would want their pink passport)

    I wonder why Russia always trades and cooperates with Iran and Syria? whats so special about them?

    Russia needs to assimilate some western culture..it is a very dark country culturally and politically, all its leaders were abusive (apart from peter 1).

    It is called infiltrating and buying your country off the shelf.
    Oh, for heaven's sake, check your facts before posting, unless you want to embarrass yourself and your ridiculous education system even further.


    Rank Country Number of immigrants
    1 United States 45,785,090
    2 Russia 11,048,064

    Poland is less (*)(*)(*)(*)ty than Russia. We also have immigrants from countries like the USA, Australia, France, Norway, Sweden indeed some of the un(*)(*)(*)(*)tiest countries world wide.

    No it is not. It is populated with poles-----> it is №2 country in my list of plases I wouldn't want to visit right after Somalia. Besides, Poland has lower GDP PPP per capita.
    As do we. So? We have a positive net migration ratio with Germany, for one.

    Ironically, you didn't check World Bank data. It is 21,903 for Poland and 23,549 for Russia. World Bank has it's calculations done in 2008 $, not 2005 $, like IMF.
    I guess i can avoid mentioning how credible CIA is for me.

    Good for you if you can read in Russian.

    Another (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)-slap from reality, huh?

    So CIA isn;t crddible but the Russian government is? IMF isn;t credible enough for you?

    As it happens I can read Russian. It says nothing about who is emigrating from Germany. It is almost certainly Russians returning to Russia from Germany -generally students.

    I wasn't reffering to Russian goverment. I was referring to World Bank.
    Some reading skills you've recieved in Irrelevant Islandstan playing role in misunderstanding or what?

    Responding to your question, yes, Russia's goverment data on Russia is more credible, than Russia main foe's secret service data on Russia.
    I've explained why World Bank calculations deserve more credability.
    You've failed you reading comprehention test, this time in Russian.
    It is about those who have left country for new permanent place of residence and those, who are now have Russia as their new permanent place of residence.
    Also I can't remember, when I said something on who is migrating. This question is irrelevant.

    You think the IMF arenot credible I ask again.

    I haven;t seen a single piece of evidence that shows that Germán citizens have settled in Russia.

    I've responded and explained why World Bank has it over IMF in the post #136. I didn't say IMF is not credible, but IMF is basing it's calculations on older data, so it is more .....inaccurate, if I may say so.
    Are you nuts? That link was exactly the evidence you need so much.
    In 2011,2012, first half of 2013 more citizens of Germany moved to Russia for permanent stay, than in the opposite direction. That is all.

    A nice rebuke from David Cameron to Russia during his closing speech at the Tory Party Conference in Manchester the other day, in which he pointed out that Smirnoff, the world's biggest-selling vodka, is manufactured in Britain and owned by British company Diageo.

    Russia has vacillated between pathetic and tragic for over 1,000 years. Meanwhile, Britain is responsible for much of Western society.

    Britain isn't a small island. It's the eighth-biggest island in the world.

    This was one of the funniest things I remember, David Cameron obviously a victim of British education system that creates deluded individuals in millions who believe they invented the world said ' We are a small island that invented everything that was worth inventing or something like that.. Some members of the Russian academy of science suggested Putin should have replied ' Mr Cameron , you are going to airport by car so who invented the car and the engine that drives it ? GERMANS did , Did you call your wife before leaving Moscow airport? if yes who invented the mobile phone you used ? the Americans invented it , Dr. Martin Cooper .You think these were not worth inventing ? Putin didn't even bother to reply.. Why should he ?

    Actually I disagree. The difference is that the superpowers (if applicable) tend to do a lot of theatrics.
    Britain has more power than people believe.

    Also I wouldn't take stock in the things that politicians who insult others say as it shows a distinct lack of professionalism and monumental juvenility.

    Britain has no power in the World to-day. SuperPowers??? There are no SuperPowers just one SuperPower that is the USA & when was the last time the USA did anything on British say so? Or when were the USA even swayed by British say so?

    No ... the only echos of influence Britain has left in the World to-day is the language & that is only because the USA speaks a form of English.

    The USA doesn't like Britain & is not our friend & the sooner the dopes & the media stop trying to fool the British public into thinking the USA is our friend the better.

    History should teach us that the USA is not our friend & has on many occassions forced Britain to enact policies that we would not wish to do. In fact the only example I can think of in the last 120 years that Britain has "publicly" stood up to the USA is that we refused to join in the Vietnam war... But even that is a phoney, we supplied hardware & intelligence.

    No Britain has been a slave to the USA & more recently the EU (a CIA operation). It is about time you threw off the suckles & once again became an independent Country & make our own way in the World.
