Life / Do some folks have no shame? Krakow experience. [43]

telefonitika:
there is a park area near to Galeria Krakowska
I am trying to think of a park near there?, where abouts?

The park is probably Planty which encompass the Old Town from all sides. Yes, shitting in public could have happened there as it is a place known to be frequented by drug addicts, the homeless, bums, drunks, etc. The police and city guards are helpless.

Look at pics which I have taken in Planty:

This one looked like a British stag party tourist to me...

but these guys were definitely Polish

But there are normal guys too

I would assume that the person you saw was homeless, i'm not going with the eastern european gypsie idea, lol, thats there version of racism :) but it would surprise me very much if it was MRS Joe Bloggs who lives accross the road from you :)

Probably not. I forgot to add that there are also old prostitutes willing to make your day for a can of beer. Sad but true. One of my friends was approached by a woman and he almost gave up after the explicit proposition of having sex with her.

Just out of curiosity why do you take photos of drunks on benches?

I take photos of everything and everybody not only in Krakow but also throughout Poland.

Planty is great, most of the time, didn't it used to be a mote?.

Hmmm.... if you mean moat, yes, that`s right.

Travel / WARSAW/WARSZAWA!! I loved this place last summer. [8]

Here you are. You won`t know this. Where in Warsaw can you meet this woman and how much does it cost?

Hey , why somebody removed this photo from my previous post?

It was a part of a bigger collection
Someone is playing a censor without proper consideration....

Pawian, I don't know this one unfortunately. Are you sure it's Warsaw? :)
In any case keep your private life private.

Yes, I am sure it is Warsaw.

When you visit it more often, you will know that the woman from the picture is in the Etnographic Museum and on Thursday you can see her for free. But taking pics will cost you 12 zlotys. :):)

As for my private life, have I revealed to you any details of my private life, except for the fact that I visited Warsaw this summer??? I don`t remember anything like that..... :):):)

History / Question of Race Hygiene in Third RP [72]

ing compared with Europe, Russian life represents the true modesty, mildness and sanctity!

Yes, and the best example of it is the story of Rasputin :):):) He was modest, mild and holy.

But by what means the government should execute policy of race purity and unity within borders of RP? Should it use naturalization as a main tool or some other more radical forms of inner policy of racial purification?

Fortunately, Poland is not so mad about the race as Russia. In Russia, on average, about 120 coloured people are killed in streets by radical racists and the authorities are helpless.

Or do they simply close an eye as they support the racists` purification programme in Russia?? On 20 April, the birthday of Adolf Hitler, most black students living in Russia spent the day at home rather than risk being caught outside by skinheads.

pajamasmedia.com/blog/russian-hate-crimes-on-the-riseThe news was grimmer still in Russia's capital city of Moscow. In 2004 the city accounted for only 36% of national race murders, but in 2007 it was responsible for 57%. In 2004 there were 18 race killings in the capital but by 2007 the number had nearly tripled, to 48, and Moscow had already experienced 36 race killings in just the first six months of this year, on pace to exceed 2007's total by 50% or more.

Constantine , I know you from other sites on the Net and you used to be an intelligent, reasonable Russian. I am convinced you are posting these sick opinions about race in Poland to produce a provocation here. But do you really have to resort to such stupid topics? SOme guys may think you really share those views....

Think twice before next provocation.... :):):)

History / Question of Race Hygiene in Third RP [72]

Oh la la, don`t be so touchy. :):) Saying intelligent reasonable Russian was a purely neutral statement. There are morons everywhere, in Russia and Poland too and some of them visit forums. So, what I said, was connected with morons visiting forums despite their nationality.

But... you must admit there are more morons in Russia if hate crime is so high there.... 120 victims in 2007.... Even if we assume that Russia`s population is almost four times bigger than Poland`s, yet we don`t have 30 race murders in Poland every year. If there was even one, I would be really surprised.

It means something, doesn`t it???? Poles are wiser...:):):)

Do you know now what I mean advising you a more careful choice of topics??? Backfire is a good word here...

History / Question of Race Hygiene in Third RP [72]

If you realize this, then what was this for?

It was a neutral statement that Russia has a big problem with hate crimes which not only hasn't subsided but is constantly on the rise.

And I reported the hate crime data in Russia because I decided to backfire to Constantine who, imho, shouldn't have started such a stupid thread about race purity in Poland because:

1. First of all, he is not a racist himself, so why is he pretending and lying???
2. Secondly, someone, as we have seen, might treat his stupid post seriously and we will hear about next race crime.

I can't (dis)prove mentioned figures. But I may share my observations.
I haven't seen living skinhead in Russia (Moscow) since Eltsyn's presidency in 1996

,

You are lucky not to see them.:):) But I think most Muscovites can say the same, as there are 7 or 8 million people in Moscow and your saying you have seen nobody doesn't mean much.

Unfortunately, the black or Asian students and comers from once Soviet republics who saw skinheads were less lucky - they paid with their lives.

but I've seen for several times Caucasian nationalists. I think these figures much exaggerated, also if you meant "black" by colored then I don't believe it's "technically" possible. They agress mostly Caucasians, blacks are of none problem for Russia.

Oh, I see, so the aggression towards dark skinned guys from the Caucasus region, e..g, Uzbekistan, pose no problem to you? And that is why figures of race hate crimes are exaggerated? Hey, Sasha, do you realize what you are saying...?

Russian prosecutors say they are ready to charge a group of skinhead youths with more than 20 racially motivated murders and 12 attempted murders.
Prosecutors say the nine accused, all aged 17 to 22, belonged to an illegal far-right group which sought out non-slavic looking people to attack.
The alleged victims were guest workers from Central Asia and the Caucasus.
The group was led by two students and had one female member, who is accused of videoing the attacks.
One of the group's leaders claimed during questioning to have carried out nearly 40 racially motivated murders.


kirkunity.blogspot.com/2008/07/russia-gang-faces-murder-charge.html

Can you provide me with a link to the web page where you read it (120 victims)?
I'm interested in the initial source. In other words... who counted victims.

Dear Sasha, have you got a health problem with your eyes? :):):) The link is still there where I put it in my initial post. ...

But, because I like you, I will provide a link to the Russian site of Moscow Bureau for Human Rights
antirasizm.ru/english.php

In the middle of the opening page you can read:

During January and 19 days of February, 2008, 26 attacks at least took place in the country based upon national hate, and 28 people perished due to them.
Anyway most of crimes are committed as usually in Moscow and Moscow region (18 deceased). St. Petersburg (4 deceased), Obninsk, Yekaterinburg, Togliatti, Novosibirsk, Tula (by 1 deceased) follow them.

Among the victims of attacks the following can be found: Uzbeks and Kirghizes (by 6 deceased), Tajiks (5 deceased), Turks, Azerbaijanians (2 deceased), Russians, Daghestans, Armenians. Ethnic origin of two deceased is not ascertained for the moment.


As for the "Russians" if we both imply the same, it is pretty friendly and peaceful nation.

I agree. :):):) But Russians are xenophobic and intolerant and that`s another case.....

History / Question of Race Hygiene in Third RP [72]

Because he wanted to show Polish chauvinism and he did manage to perfectly demonstrate it. :)

The only thing he demonstrated was the mixture of views which takes place in a democratic country. His post was answered by racists as well as tolerant people. The ones who don`t care didn`t take part.

sounds like the entry to the first crime or like an ignorance. Excuse me... maybe we have some different notions of tolerance but I would never tell that about any nations especially about Russian since I know it best and proudly belong to it. Are you Russian to say that? Oh... you're Pole... maybe that's a keyword?

Dear Sasha, when I read about 120 race murders in Russia in 2007, what do you think I can think and say??? The murderers are not Martians, they are Russian. The have been born to the Russian society and brought up in it. They acquired their views on life from their families, school and friends. The fact that they decided to murder means they were more adventurous than other Russians who think the same but are afraid to take drastic actions.....

FYI 12-15 mln.

I was talking about the city only, not the whole metropolis with neighboring towns and villages.

I do. As well as I do realize that you a priori want to see skinhead in me and in every Russian. :)

:):):) Nope. That`s a wrong supposition....

I merely put you in the picture of who are the purposes of aggression, I also told you that I had seen Caucasian nationalists and yes many Caucasians cause problems since they're with other migrants responsible for 80% committed in Moscow and that's the thing I'm really afraid of even though I'm not a whipping boy because the overall victims of their crimes are counted with 1000s.

Crime by Caucasians is some explanation for Russian xenophobia.... I can understand it....

I'm ok with Caucasians I'm not ok with criminals and Russophobes... ;)

Neither am I. I hate Russophobes! Really.... :):):)

Yeah... like wolves like lambs. My bad... I didn't read it carefully. SOVA center.. now it's clear. :)

Hmm, you seem to sound ironic about SOVA center. Why??? :):)

SOVA Center is a human rights nongovernmental organization and analytical center that conducts sociological research on development of nationalism and racism in modern Russia. It produces regular reports on hate crimes and develops recommendations that are widely used and cited by OSCE, Amnesty International and other human rights and political organizations. [1] [2][3][4][5][6] [7][8][9][10]. It also monitors the situation with freedom of religion in Russia. SOVA Center was established in 2002 by Moscow Helsinki Group and Russian research center "Panorama".

BTW, sex with skinheads is a real fetish among gay community. (sorry me Sasha, I know you don't like these stupid idle-talks about gays, but I cannot keep from it).

The fact that you can`t keep from it may suggest you have hidden homosexual inclinations..... But don`t worry, I am tolerant.... :):):)

And back to the thread. Of course Poles are the most racist nation, because they always stress the superiority of their culture over Russian. It hurts us inhumanly, because we know it is not true; really it is Russian culture prevails over Polish!

Neither culture prevails, both are interesting. :):):)

As for Poles stressing their cultural superiority, it is the effect of Russian domination in Poland during 19 and 20 century. The domination which was achieved not by cultural superiority (like ancient Romans over barbarian Brits) but by sheer superiority of numbers (like ancient Romans over ancient Greeks).

History / Question of Race Hygiene in Third RP [72]

When I wes at college before university, they ran a class called english for speakers of other languages. The students were usually thriw world immigrants and asylum seekers and I can honestly tell you that when my class used the room after them, we had to open the windows. It smelled awful .

It was the fault of Scottish academic teachers who economized on taking a shower. Saving their pennies....
So simple.....

David_18:
negativ signal about russian people by the way you act

Could I ask you, where do you think I gave this signal?

You give a negative signal when you start a stupid thread. A reasonable person doesn`t do such things. Then, when the topic moved from Poland to Russia and her problems with race hate crime, you happily continue the discussion, trying to attribute rascism to Polish participants.

It is pure masochism, I must say, and a very negative signal about a poster.

I am so sorry but it it`s high time to realise certain things, Kostia.... :):):)

Life / Appreciate any remarks on life in Kraków [41]

But it also seems the place has some real serious issues.
For a start they need to learn to smile. life is too short to always walk about like the world is going to end tomorrow.
Manners cost nothing. Be nice to someone and they'll be nice to you. Its been a big culture shock and a big wake up call.

I live in Krakow and yes, it was me whom you saw in the street and I didn`t smile...

I used to smile a lot, however, with the passage of time, I noticed that I was getting nasty wrinkles on my face, especially around the mouth.

So I gave up smiling ... don`t care about foreigners.... I prefer looking sad to old...

Look at this woman who resides in Krakow with her ermine. She is a typical Krakowian. She doesn`t smile like crazy as you advocate... She is serious because that suits a real lady. Most Krakowians behave like that.

Life / Question about farming in Poland. [12]

I'm working on a report for school, and I'm trying to find out whether the farming done in Poland is done mostly by hand or machine. Any help would be much appreciated!

From my observations while driving in the countryside: I can see most farmers have tractors and use them a lot. However, there are some kinds of farming activities which you must do by hand, e.g., planting tobacco.

Life / Question about farming in Poland. [12]

Very clever invention. So, it is possible to plant tobacco by machine, not hand. Thanks for enlightening me.

However, picking the leaves MUST be done by hand. :):):) I see it almost every day now while driving on roads out of Krakow.

That's enough and to spare. He succeeded.

Quite doubtful. Receiving mixed, democratic feedback you call a success???

Strange. Sorry Sasha, but I don`t understand those Russian games you are playing here... :):):) Russian soul is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. :):):)

You might have been doubtful for one thing. What lies at the root of your belief? There're plenty other points of view but you picked exactly this one. Why so selective? How do you know that the murderers were Russians?

Hey, are you going to argue that they were not Russians who killed Uzbeks and Tajiks???

I'm afraid I can't agree. First and foremost they fot their knowledge from the reality, from the street, secondly from the organizations which in fact have nothing to do with fascism or racism or something like that are paid... Think we need to dwell for a while on the last ones. I presume that some organizations intentionally use youth to study their own interests; their purpose is to overblow things to make up a problem at the drop of a hat. I suspect some even kill migrants themselves; and it's important to note that they're not skinhead or something they're killers. Idea of racial superiority and stuff like that is only used to attract teens.

It doesn`t matter if the organizations are Neo Nazi or not. If a young person is so easily influenced by them that he commits a crime, it means his family, school, whole background didn`t manage to shape his character positively and to make him a decent man who sticks to his reasonable views..

So was I. The info you came up with is about 10 years old I guess.

Probably. Sorry. The last time I was in Moscow was in 1970s... It must have changed since that :):):)

I happened to see what MHG and SOVA center was from within. "Nongovernmental" is not that precise word... it's governmental.. better to say it's non-Russian. Apart from their really good deeds they have to do some "dirty work", otherwise they wouldn't be paid (read "wouldn't exist"). Compilation of such reports is kind of that work. Their logic is simple: if caucasian were killed then it's likely to be "skinhead" and.... here we go... 120 victims.

By dirty work you mean reporting true facts about Russia???
I know that Putin has banned some NGOs from Russia and limited others. For obvious reasons - nobody will look at his hands...

P.S. Do you really believe that there were no racially-caused killings in Warsaw at any year? Why? The recent game of Legija and FC Moskva showed you might be wrong.

There weren`t any murders I have heard of. Some brawls and fights, yes. But not murders.
