There's one clear sign that you can find on any Russian anti-Putin and/or pro-liberal blog or channel: that Russian people are lazy, stupid, alcoholics and drug addicts, that Russians never invented anything (all the technology at all times was stolen from Europe and USA), Russia never won any war (including WWII that was "won" exclusively by USA), etc.

They go even as far as to declare Russian language "stupid and barbaric and ugly" (Gasan Gusejnov).

Not touching any other reason for now, for me it's a clear sign that all opposition is rusophobic and/or paid by the CIA/MI-6.

Why would a sane person call his nation "stupid alcoholics using barbaric language"?..

Russia didn't take part in WW2. USSR did.

You are making here general claims from specific cases. It's a logical fallacy. Moreover your claim about Gasan Gusejnov is taken out of context. He said: "кроме того убогого клоачного русского, на котором сейчас говорит и пишет эта страна", i.e. "apart from that sordid and cloacal Russian language in which this country speaks and writes now". It is clear that he didn't mean the Russian language as a whole but the form of Russian language used in oral and written public communication lately.

Wow i don’t know how it is in Russia; but that’s exactly the fake impression I’d work to cultivate if I was Putin or the state. If I had to guess, what you’re seeing is a false image designed to make you hate anything not explicitly pro Russia government. Your description follows with tactics used by clandestine groups in the US, like appearing has black activists but taken to absurd levels so as to either alienate other supporters or turn them into extremists.

It sounds like you’re being played.

This is probably the most ridiculous statement I've read on HN. But unfortunately not surprising.

Oh, yeah. Lets label any anti-Putin person as insane.

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to get ban from `dang`, so you could then talk about bloody censorship on HN? "HackerNews is a branch of CIA/MI-6", isn't it?
