New Island in Russia
It seems like Russia (which is the biggest country in the world) tries to compete with Dubai (United Arab Emirates) in unique construction projects. Before the building of artificial skiing resort had been finished (the similar one stands in UAE), Russian government has presented to the public the model of artificial island that will be raised from the Black Sea waters near Sochi coast in 2014, towards the opening of the Olympic Games. It is no no wonder that the island will be called “The Federation” - its shape will resemble the whole country in miniature.

Boris,
Let’s get naked and make the Brokeback Kremlin movie.
Love,
Pootie Poo
Why don’t you try practising on your sheep first, and then we talk, my texan flower..
What a truly amazing project! Anyone know what the budget for this is?
Vote for nazi party ! http://www.americannaziparty.com http://www.nsm88.org
fuck off, nazi scum
Texas1, is that you? Surly not!
I thought you told me you were not racist?
This is a Texas1 impersonator. Someone on here keeps trying to damage my reputation.
That’s what I thought. Where da fuck is Admin?
I realize that too. I commented on his inability to distinguish between “to fuck” and “to fuck with” (http://englishrussia.com/?p=1462#comments). I though for a moment that was John from Kansas, but that one at least got decent English.
Why thank you cynical. One thing I will not do is post comments under another name or someone else’s name. It’s chickenshit in my book.
Yet, you DO tend to call those who don’t toe your party line (whatever that might be) “fascists”, don’t you?
Bastard, your reputation just deserves being damaged.
See if I care…
Many people disagree with me but I do not call them names. But in your case it has more to do with you starting a comment by giving the nazi salute.
Care to point out where that happened, or would you like to have your sorry ass sued from here to Kansas?

#11: Sieg Heil! And after that they claim that there is a difference between international-socialists (aka Bolsheviks) and national-socialists (aka Nazi)…
Uh-huh, and before that I indicated what exactly that referred to. You commie scum are good at taking things out of context.
Heil Hitler!
WTF? They’re going to FILL IN the BLACK SEA?????
Assholes! Sons of bitches! Motherfucking dipshits! The land that you are expropriating (i.e., stealing) from the Sochi residents is not enough for you, fatherfucking faggots? When all that shit is going to get crammed down your throats, I wonder?
…sorry. The above diatribe was directed at the Russian kleptocracy. Not that they don’t deserve it.
Would you like kill your self UPSTENU, please!
Would you like UBITI your self UPSTENU, please!
Учи албанский, падонак. Английский тебе все равно не осилить.
I really cannot understand why you are so negative about this project. Surly this will greatly benefit Sochi’s economy, create jobs for the locals, attracts foreign tourism, investment, etc, etc. Please explain your
position Mr. Bustard. Otherwise some people might be in danger of assuming that you do generally hate russia. And all positive change in that country anger you, because you only want bad things to happen to it…… Surly not!
Well, first off, “bustard” is a bird. “Bastard” is what I am. May I suggest that you pay close attention to your spelling, so that you wouldn’t make yourself look like a “burrow” (In a seminal comment by a scientific writing teacher: “Burro is an ass. Burrow is a hole in the ground. One really should know the difference.”)
This out of the way, let me state why this idea blows dead bears. First, it is my parents’ tax money that is going to be blown on this project to benefit the (usual) select few. Second, even ignoring this fact, I have a big problem with the whole idea of Olympics in Sochi - or, rather with the way it is being implemented. A special law was passed that allows the government to steal their land from whoever they damn please for whatever purpose (not that they couldn’t do it before, but at least there were some procedural protections). If you think Kelo was a bad decision, it is a lot worse: at least there was some local backlash against the Supremes, whereas Russia is so federalized, it’s fucking scary. It hits me where it hurts, as well - I did inherit some land in Russia, and I would like to keep it, thank you very much.
It doesn’t help that Sochi is one of the few maritime resorts a poor working stiff in Russia (Moscow, naturally, excluded) can afford - now they wouldn’t be able to. Oh-wow, I’d rather fly my folks to Redneck Riviera: at least they wouldn’t have to take Aeroflot there.
On the other hand, this kinda makes twisted sense: the powers that be in Russia are in such a deep shit (state-sponsored nuclear terrorism, no fucking kidding!), that once their terms are up, that’d be the only seaside resort they’d be able to travel to. I do hope to see them on the south coast of the White Sea, rather than the north coast of the Black Sea, but I am not really counting on that…
I apologize - of course you are a Bastard.
“A special law was passed that allows the government to steal their land from whoever they damn please for whatever purpose (not that they couldn’t do it before, but at least there were some procedural protections)” - I am sorry, what “Law” are you referring to?
LOL.
Boris, is that dry humor Russian, or is it aquired in the U.K.?
Forum ate my earlier post
This one: http://www.kommersant.com/p803537/2014_Olympics/
Also, see this: http://grani.ru/Economy/m.127310.html
Sure, I was wrong when I said it passed, but $20 says it will, this month.
“A special law was passed that allows the government to steal their land from whoever they damn please” - how exactly are they “stealing” their land? What are you talkng about? Prove it!
*shrug* I gave you the link (something you consistently fail to offer), now get off your fat ass and read it.
You’re an idiot, In Russia you can only rent land, not own it.
You inherited NOTHING.
I know. And you think I don’t have a problem with that? That plot of land was in the family since before 1917, and they are telling me that I am just a leaseholder? Fuck that, I am selling it to the next sucker and buying hunting land in Montana instead. Now, there they respect property rights - and those who don’t, die of intrapericardiac lead poisoning.
In America, the government is allowed to take any land it pleases at anytime, for any reason. And they give you what “they think” the land is worth at the time. Its been done already…recently fought in the supreme court…and upheld. So Russia is not doing anything that the free and democratic america isnt also doing. Stop complaining. At least you dont live in a third world country….your country at least has the money to build and make this resort town better for many years to come. O and my tax money is funding the war in Iraq right now…not by my choice either.
You are referring to Kelo decision I mentioned early (while misunderstanding the reasoning completely). I explained the difference in that same post, and why it is a lot worse in Russia, so shut the fuck up.
And, no, my country does not fund stupid island construction. It funds stupid war in Iraq, which I don’t support either. Difference is, even after paying ridiculously high taxes, I still can make a decent living stateside. On the other hand, in Russia taxes get pissed away on… well, projects like this one, whereas a major trans-siberian highway remains unpaved (see http://englishrussia.com/?p=315). At the cool 6B spent on the toys to benefit the usual few, one can pave at least 1000K of it.
And for the record - so that we don’t have any misunderstanding here - I do hate the current variety of the Russian gov’t, no denial about that (then again, the previous ones weren’t much better, either). Just hate that hypocritical pseudopatriotic kleptocracy. As Saltykov-Shchedrin (I think) once commented: “Look, he’s talking about patriotism. Going to steal something, no doubt.” It is sad that nothing has truly changed over the last couple of centuries.
…”hypocritical pseudopatriotic kleptocracy”. Man does that ever sound familiar.
What are you waiting for? Impeach the bastards. I’ll cheer.
Write your congressional representatives. I alredy have.
So have I.
Mine won’t support it. We still have Republicans…for now.
And Hillary wouldn’t commit to withdrawal from Iraq by the end of her term, either. Now, tell me what’s the difference between republican’ts and demonrats, again?
On some issues there is little differece. On balance I prefer Democrats because they tend not to hurt working people as badly as the Republicans do. The neo-cons have boxed us in on this one. Bush/Cheney can’t do anything else but stay the course because no one will help them anymore. I am not enthused about Hillary Clinton, but I would think that any new Democratic administration should have the latitude to lay out a new Middle-East policy. A policy that garners real international support for a structured peace in the region. It’s a tall order because too many people are makng money off this war.
Great, now they’re going to waste money on Sochi in addition to Moscow and St. Petersburg.
about $6 bn!
well, at least it wont have stupid statues all over it like mockba
I wanna buy a condo there!
Or even a time share…
I don’t get it. Global warming will flood those islands in our lifetimes, so why build them?
Good point. But it is the investors and tenants who will get soaked. The developers will be high and dry and richer.
So true. You’re too bright to be “from Kansas”, how’d you end up there? You’re breaking my stereotypes!
The wind carried me here.
I don’t think we shoud judge all americans by Texas1, nor should we judge all estonians by a sick racist like “orknexus” a.k.a “talking beaver” a.k.a “hck”. Stereotypes are for simple-minded people.
ummm global warming …. our lifetime? just how long are u planning on living? currently the sea level is rising roughly 3mm (some studies say 0.07mm)a year with an acceleration of 0.0013mm (therefore 100 years = less then a foot)…. so maybe your great great grandchildren may be priviaged enough to see the planned structures be demolished, the island reformed and new structures built.
Boris,
If I tell you you have beautiful sexy body, would you hold it against me?
Yours in Love,
Pootie Poo
I want an island for prison.
We could put IGOR the BALDY FAG on that island.
Wow! - hhat should certainly put russia back on the map.
подавился сухой коркой заплесневелого хлеба…
запил ржавой водой и подумал - а где деньги на мой личный островок?
Honestly, i dont think its possible for them to finish that by 2014…
I was thinking the same thing. Especially with all the other projects in the area at the same time. And to maintain it is just as hard as building it. It needs to be dredged all the time for something like this to not get washed away.
Yeah it is. Shoddy crash projects is what Russians are best at.
That place looks cool!
cynical bastard’s attitude is how americans got the name “Septics” in the first place…. he just opens his mouth and a river of shit flows out
You’re not a cynical bastard. You’re a well educated uninformed cunt.
Ваше не понимаю(ниахота по буржуйски говорить) какого хера эти придурки вообще пытаются обсуждать нашу страну? Это их дело их жизнь? в их странах могу поспорить столько же проблем сколько и в нашей….Америка вся в жире,во франции *где кстати иностранный легион сплош из русских* постоянные бунты и студенты бастуют, в германии….а в германии ваще жопа…вы их порно смотрели?вот вот….ни фантазии ни хера… так о чем разговор? Наши проблемы- это наши проблемы… вся европа Америке зад вылизавает а мы нет…вся европа нуждается в нашем газе и нефти а мы им его поставляем.. так какие вопросы то? сосите там блин в своей европе и сосите, в наши дела не лезте… оссобенно не смейте оскорблять мою родину. а то по шапке тресну.
wow cool Idea.
all around world just jealous over that.
i gress USA and Aussie will make new island after 2010 XD
Ah, another Kommersant reader. In the U.S. its called the Law of Iminent Domain. Where the law formerly required such developments to be for public usage (roads, airports etc), the Republicans are pushing state-by-state amendments to allow for comercial developement, ie. you can be forced out to make way for another Wal-Mart.
#11 is a travel poster with no political message. Your comment inserted the nazi salute. Own it.
Own what? The poster? No, thanks. Or did you mean “own up to”? Nothing to own up to, either: I pointed out that the raised hand salute is generally accompanied by “sieg heil”. If you are too thick to distinguish political commentary from… well, anything else, it is not my problem.
No one believes your explanation, but everyone understood your absurd political comentary. The figure in the poster was obviously waveing to the viewer. Further denials and discussion of this issue are not necessary.
What-fucking-ever.
