The Yauza River
People of Moscow, Russia are fond of their small rivers in the city downtown, like this one, the Yauza river. Also it has been said that 90% of Russian money are in Moscow and 90% of that 90% is in Moscow downtown, and people who manage 90% of Russian money I bet love oil most of all, so they decided to decorate their river with their adorable stuff?

nasty
The river is not polluted!
It is always like this in spring, because the snow is melting and takes ground with it in the river.
So that is normal situation.
Wow, thats nasty looking.
lov 2 swim here
1,2 biachez
That kind of oil pollutions are unheard of in the west. We are not even allowed to spill oil on the road, not to talk of polluting rivers. I feel sorry for those poor russians who drink, bathe, wash, piss and poop in that river.
Don’t know situation in India, I’ve read about your holy river where you bath in and people get killed. But we have brains and understand that its not wise to swim in that river. And we bath in refrshed water. About drinking its not wise to drink the water out of the crane, instead we buy gallons of water to cook and drink.
In Ukraine we have the best refreshment systems of the world and about the most polutted water of the world.
um…. WHAT?!?!
HU??!!
fromukrainewithlove, I honestly don’t think that “Miss India” is in fact from India. It looks more like talking beaver letting all that racist/nationalist hate out of his system. Poor guy…
Nevermind, all that Estonian Neo-nazi anger must be let out ones in a while. I dread to think what would happen if he kept it all in.
probably you’re right, I think he or she is so embaressed of his/her own country that he/she uses India instead. Thinking people can’t say nothing bad about Inda.
well, WE CAN!! welcome to englishrussia where we will come up with something bad to say about everything..
My darling Borja,
I dread to think what would happen to you if you kept all your anger for Estonia to yourself and within your clotted brain… Can you? I doubt it.
By the way, why were you forced to leave Estonia? Couldn’t find anybody as bitter as you to conspire with, or were you just unable to stand men and women taller than you are, beautiful and handsome (unlike you), and, more importantly, with straight noses?
This smells like racism, d00d. I used to find your comments funny, but they are getting less and less inventive.
are there kike hating jews in russia
you guys should open up some concentration camps like the germans used to have
Dear Grizzlybear,
You’re right, it does - purposefully. As purposefully, in fact, as Borja’s racist comments about Estonia. You know, it’s a funny thing that there are those who can get away with as much slander and lies as they choose (e.g. Boris about Estonia), and there are those who boil over for a moment, write something, and righto! get promptly accused of racism. Dear friend, I am sorry to have offended you, I did not mean to irritate you. But you should know that Estonia is no more racist than America or France or Burundi. Actually, Estonia is much less racist since the country’s racial composition is remarkably homogeneous which, in turn, has not spawned racism per se. Russia, my adorable Russia, is thousands of times more racist. Surely you have have read or heard something about, for example, blacks being killed in Moscow, haven’t you?
Oh look, our very own Englishrussia Nazi talking beaver has yet again changed his name to “marvin”. Hi marvin
So marvin, why dont you make yourself look even more silly than you already are and try to find at least ONE racist comment made by me
No, I dont think you can. You can call me whatever you want, but “racism”, is most definitely your forte.
To my great sadness Estonia is very much racist. And this racism is not only a social phenomenon, as it is in US or Russia for example, but is very much deep rooted in Estonian politics and evidently in discriminatory and frankly terribly oppressive policies that have been brought forward.
Amnesty: Discrimination in Estonia must end:
http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/aedec693-a426-11dc-bac9-0158df32ab50/eur510022006en.html
And recent UN report condemning human rights violation in the Baltics:
http://www.baltictimes.com/news/articles/20067/
With regards to “blacks being killed in Moscow”, yes, dont worry, of course the western median would never miss such a story. However, if something like this happens in the Baltics, surprise-surprise, theres a dead silence. Hm really, I wonder why
Oh, hello, Borja, my dearest chap. Long time, no see.
Changed? What, I wonder, could you mean by this. I’ve always been marvin.
To my great joy, Estonia is very much not racist, one of the least racist countries in the world. However, mother Russia isn’t. Sadly. Ok, let’s start, pal …

By the way, there are too many racist comments by you - the Sun will set ere I could finish pointing them out to you.
Take care
Oh dear.. you are truly pathetic, aren’t you? Instead of even attempting to challenge some of the reports findings, you’ve decided to run away from the topic, and out of nowhere, rediverted the conversion to Russia. What, you got nothing to say all of the sudden? Or does pointing out faults of other countries make you feel better about your own? Poor soul
Why talk about Russia? Are you Russian? Am I? Ok, I won’t deny it, Racim and Xenophobia are major problems in Russia, ironiclly, largely thanks to the western-supported Other Russia’s parties, such as the National Bolshevik Party and the Vanguard of Red Youth. But here is the thing; Racism, Xenophobia and anti-Semitism in Russia are very much social phenomenon, which incidentlly, the Russian government is doing qute a lot to combat, while in Estonia and Latvia, they are not just social, but have in fact penetrated all the political spheres, legicial and the judicial systems. By the way, I am most certainly not a great fan of Putin, but let give him his dues, he has done incredible things not only for the Jewish community at home, but also communities in Ukraine and Baltic States. Now, besides all the discrimination and hate, what has the Estonian government done for the Jewish or Roma communities? Incidentally, how many ethnic Russians, Roma or Jews does the Estonian parliament have? Ok there are no Jews and no Roma, but how many ethnic Russians are there again? Hmm.. quite strange that, especially considering that they make up almost 40% of the population
Oh yeah, have you found any racist comments made by me yet?
I guess that’s a NO then 
So, not only are you a pathetic little Racist, but also a lier 
Thus, if you really care about the image of your country so much, I would suggest for you not to comment at all. You certainly aren’t doing it any favors, matie 
Why haven’t we done anything for Russian or Roma communities? Typical soviet thinking. Why should we do anything? They should move their lazy asses themselves, if they want to have something. Why should we do anything for those who came to our home and now only put forward absurd claims.
40%? It’s quite obvious that you haven’t read the report yourself, other wise you would have learnt that there are 68% of Estonians. 100 minus 68 is far from 40, unless, of course, you use some other system of doing your maths. And even those 32% are not Russians, who, incidentally make up less than 25%. Estonian parliament is like any other in the world - if you want representation, you should put forward your candidates, and if they get elected, fine. Or do you expect us to use some quotas for almighty Russians? Get serious, my dear fellow.
And that’s it. For the rest - scroll down to the very end.
Cheerio, my cheerful chap.
How nice. Estonia showing her true colors.
Groan … My dear God, my dear God. You are dense, aren’t you?
What is wrong with you, people? This post is about a river in Russia. So why was it that Boris took up Estonia once again? Because he is the racist, he is the one who shows true colours, not me. Constantly. Yet you never comment upon his idiotic raving. He, Boris, is the one who thinks that whoever says anything remotely negative…ish about Russia is definitely from Estonia, and that Estonians definitely say this because they are racist and nazi… Grow up, children. Estonia is not the most important issue to concern yourselves with, and neither is Russia. The WW II is a thing of past, and so is the Nazi Germany. Open your eyes and look around you instead - Russia is the Nazi country now, not Germany, not Estonia, not Lithuania. Pointing fingers to others is, certainly, a perfect cover, and helps to avert undesired attention from your own issues, doesn’t it?
Wow, this Estonian Nazi crap is sure getting old. Get over it, Estonia broke off the USSR 17 years ago already, became a decent democratic nation with a modern, booming economy while Mother Russia is still a withering cesspool. Try to do something about it instead of spewing your bitterness on some random messageboard. Don’t bother replying with propaganda about Nazi statues, Wehrmacht marches and hidden underground Waffen-SS divisions, nobody except brainwashed Russians is going to take that seriously.
So the estonian nazi statue was never erected with full governmental support and the SS processions never took place in Latvia?
Knowing the amounts of innocent jewish women and children killed by the people that you are now glorifying, if I were jewish, not only would I be taking it very seriously, but I would be absolutely furious. What is currently happening in baltic states is not only disgraceful, but is in fact very dangerous indeed. Not to mention discrimination of minorities any human rights violations that bias media tends to ignore.
Unheard of in the west? You must be kidding.
No matter how you slice it, even Cuyahoga got cleaned up and the Great Lakes is a prime fishing destination once again.
OK, OK, there is that asshole Ted Kennedy…
…then George Bush gutted all Federal agencies and staffed them with his corporate cronies. No matter how you slice that, Federal oversight has been eviscerated. Now back to pollution as a corporate “right”, Airline safety standards deliberately not enforced, the banking system on the verge of collapse etc, etc. By “cleaned up”, you must mean that the Cuyahoga doesn’t catch fire anymore. But the river is still polluted as are the Great Lakes.
As for your link, it’s a classic of right wing smear journalism. An anonymously submitted out of focus photo is submitted 6 years after the alleged incident. If “anonymous” was so outraged by this, why didn’t he immediately report the incident to the U.S. Coast Guard?
Sure, sure, and that Oldsmobile in Poucha Pond ran on holy spirit of Momma Gaia and didn’t discharge a drop into the water (that’s leaving aside the fact there there was a dead body, too). Oh, and… tell me more about that Cape Cod wind farm and good ole boy Ted Kennedy, will ya?
…none of the above negates my low opinion of Prez. Bush, naturally.
…naturally.
Um, Miss INDIA, I hate to break the news to you, but INDIA is not part of the west. And fuck you too.
Unheard of in the west?

FIRST
Not related to this subject, but interesting nevertheless AND relevant to English Russia being a blog:
Medvedev reacted on the opposition against the proposed governmental restrictions [read : censorship] on internet sites with over 1000 visitors a day:
Medvedev Reassures Web Users
Combined Reports
Authorities should take a measured approach to policing the Internet, President-elect Dmitry Medvedev said Thursday in a speech that may ease concerns about a crackdown on free speech in cyberspace.
Rights activists have said authorities are trying to tighten regulation of the Internet, arguably the country’s most vibrant venue for political discussion.
Speaking at the opening of the 12th annual Russian Internet Forum, a powwow of Internet business leaders held in the village of Gorky-10, outside Moscow, Medvedev addressed what he called “the delicate question of the relationship between freedom of speech and responsibility,” in cyberspace.
“The answer to this question is fairly simple: Laws must be respected everywhere. … At the same time, the state should take a calm, fair position” toward Internet users, he said.
Prosecutors have closed down several regional Internet sites critical of the authorities, saying they did not have the proper registration.
Federation Council member Vladimir Slutsker last month proposed requiring Russian Internet sites with more than 1,000 daily visitors to register as media outlets — a proposal that could make blogs subject to the same regulations as newspapers.
Medvedev has said he is an avid consumer of Internet news, including from pro-opposition sites.
He has even expressed an appreciation for “Olbanian,” the slang that Russians use in Internet forums. Asked during an online call-in conference last year whether Olbanian should become a school subject, Medvedev said, “One cannot ignore the necessity of learning the Olbanian language.”
As first deputy prime minister, Medvedev oversaw a program to put every Russian school online.
He has promoted Internet use as part of a program to develop a knowledge-based economy and reduce Russia’s dependence on oil and gas exports.
Medvedev told the forum that Russia had 40 million Internet users out of a population of 142 million.

Talking about freedom… even the internet, probably the last spot where people can speak freely and express themselves, will be put under supervision if they can manage it, technically speaking. Just like N-Korea and China.
D, you still want to go back to your beloved country ?
Max, why don’t you post it on the forum? I’m sure it would make a interesting discussion topic.
Yes, I do.
That is nothing but talk… we hear the same kind of talk in the U.S all the time, but for us, its to protect the nation from “terroristic threats” under the “patriot act”. Which is another way of saying “we are taking your freedom, but disguising it as something else”, at least russian authorities arent as in your face deceptive.
But on the topic of internet I can tell you this… Russian internet users will fight back and win. Russia has some of the worlds best hackers and they understand the value of the internet, there is no way russia would be dumb enough to censor it on the level of china and n korea, which are failed efforts by the way. That money would be better spent on developing an economy based on the internet.
These discussions are probably more corruption and scam related than political opposition. You have to understand that to make the internet financially viable there have to be laws, freedom of speech is one thing, corruption is another.
And what is this “olbanian” they speak of? Can someone explain?
Max: Every country has its censorship, you just live in a fantasy democratic world that doesn’t exists. Whatever country you’re from there’s no such thing as democracy like Napoleon created and those american brainguys finished.
Try typing the words: bomb USA kill Bush next week, now if next week the USA gets bombed and Bush gets killed, the CIA will be knocking on my door.
Or do you think that if a Russian says: “well I don’t like Medvedev”, that the FSB will put him/her in gulag?? Those times are over.
So finally, yes I wouldn’t mind living in Russia but since I’m from Ukraine I will return there when I finish my school.
Actually the FSB is allowed to tap every telephone without a court order, both mobile and fixed lines; all telephone companies were forced to install equipment [at their own costs] that would make this possible.
What is always surprising me is the bluntness with which these actions are introduced and the indifference of the average citizen. Numbed. For many people, in particular the older generation, it is like second nature to close the windows and talk in a whisper when something of importance is discussed. A remains from the communist times. Might prove to be useful today, again.
As for censoring the internet, I think it will never work. A simple thing like having servers in a foreign country will already undermine any attempt to censorship.
every country can tap off telephone conversations etc. without a court order. Only they can’t use it in court. Just like in Russia.
Please don’t believe everything you hear and read. What you read in the newspapers is the opinion of ONE yournalist, and what you hear on the news espacially BBC and CNN is all checked by the country before it actually comes in the news.
If you look at a situation look at it from 2/3 different point of views.
You’re assuming something. I’m talking about actual legislation. It’s not an opinion, it’s a fact. And you can use it in court in Russia. Do some reading.
In Russia the law is mainly for the government to keep the citizens in line, or so it seems. Try filing a lawsuit against the government. No problem if you have the stamina. You might even win. But then, try to get your compensation [it's usually about money] from the responsible ministry. Impossible. They just ignore you, even though you’re backed up by the law. A huge number of court cases is filed every year at the European Court of Human Rights. Filed by Russians against their government. In general, a useless exercise.
Dudddee, I like overclocking FSB, for example last week I have managed to overclock my laptop 1.5ghz cpu to 2.0 ghz using a pin mod, short circuiting two pins on the actual cpu using a tiny wire. The FSB (front side bus was 400 mhz before, now it’s 533 mhz).
Lame
I agree.
It looks like any other Third World city.
Where are the rats?
Just looking at it gives me melanoma!
That is pretty nasty.
On forum? Ha ha this maxD is complete moron Дешевка сраная убейся об стену
72 percent of all russias money is downtown Moscow? I thought all Russia made was vodka and Tetris.
The river is not polluted at all.
It is always like this in spring, because the snow is melting and takes ground with it in the river.
So it is normal situation.
I went to Moscow a couple of months ago. That is ONE dirty city! Smoke stacks all over the place. I think the Russians need to adopt zoning laws. I saw factories built right next to housing. lol.
Actually, China was just celebrating their status as the #1 polluter in the world! LOL

I’m sure India would love to outdo them, eh? What say you, Miss India, your illustrious country ain’t much behind, is it?
P.S. Don’t poop into the same river you drink from. I’m not sure if the concept of “bacteria” and “virus” has reached the boorish tribes of India yet, so just a heads-up.
Fuck off kike
Also fake.
Wow, the Russian press is incredible. I wonder if you were told that aliens had landed in Estonia, would you believe that too? Remarkable brainwashing.
Government-endorsed “nazi” statues? SS processions? (what the hell? The SS has been nonexistent for over 50 years now). What are you talking about? A severe case of paranoid schizophrenia?
The EU seems to have no objections to the situation of human rights in the Baltic States, and EU is a very respectable organization in my mind, unlike the Russian cleptocracy. Yet everybody knows human rights in Russia are trampled on daily like suitable for a 3rd world dictatorship. Please, don’t get me started on Checenya - raping and murdering innocent civilians obviously doesn’t count as a human rights violation. Oh, and the curious “accidents” happening to journalists who have become too inquisitive.
The comic aspect here is that the latest brainchild of the Russian ruling clique seems to be the incremental censoring of Internet akin to China and other authocratic regimes - so after a while, you might not be able to access englishrussia.com - unless you’ve already emigrated to some civilized Western country, which every Russian that isn’t retarded or terminally ill seems to have done already.
You dumb monkey go fuck yourself
Fake
Do aliens have a big penises ?
I did not write this. That was Boris Abramov, and he suspecting taking beaver and all Baltic nazis
Oh look, its my old anti-Semite “friend” from Poland. Hello there, how are you?
Incidentally, from our last exchange, did you take my advise and did you at least consider visiting Auschwitz? Oh well.. What did I expect? You can dress up a pig in fancy clothes and spray perfume to make it smell nice, but in the end, it will be just that - a pig!
I wonder, where did Russia and Russian press come it to this? Was at least one of my links regarding Estonia or Neo-Nazism Russian? And even if I were to provide some Russian links, do you honestly think they could ever be more bias then the Telegraph, Economist, Washington post, or Fox news?
“What are you talking about? A severe case of paranoid schizophrenia?”
Sadly not:

With regards to Chechnya and other human rights violation in Russia, I believe I have expressed my opposition and general concern quite vocally. Just check out some of the earlier threats on Englishrussia. But again, why are we talking about Russia? What has Russia got to do with me or you for that matter? By all means express your concern, if it is indeed your concern and not just the means of running away from the issue or making yourself fell better by badmouthing other country, but please, keep it relevant and more or less consistent with the conversation
Or perhaps we should change conversation to Poland? Talk about your Racist, homophobic, anti-Semite president? Or how Poland banned OSCE poll observers while the opposition leader was sent to prison on the eve of polish elections? Shall we talk of the great Polish “democracy” now?
“which every Russian that isnt retarded or terminally ill seems to have done already”
Now isnt that ironic? Especially when its coming from a citizen of a county where almost all men have migrated to the west to look for work as cheep field labour, or in the best of scenarios, plumbers?
I wonder how many men are there still left in Gdansk? Is it 10-15% of the original population? Yes.. Irony isnt a word.
pld if i use this easy formula (a x b)+(c3 + 1)^3, where 1=your small brain, i can figure out you’re cheap faggot. Die
Fake ! You impostor go back to your fucking Estonia ! I’m real Boris Abramov.
True genius!
Zafart knows what IGOR IS A BALDY FAG !
Dear Boris,
I wrote a longish answer but for some odd reason it did not load up. I really couldn’t bother to write this again. In fact, I couldn’t bother to write anything to you at all (except for this short answer) - I just don’t see you possessing intelligence enough to comprehend even the simplest of things. So, cheerio, my dear chap and keep on spitting out the, errrr… , information about Estonia, or any other country you choose to think of as of one not up to your liking. Obviously, the perfect way for a country to deal with a Russian minority (but only Russian, mind you!) is to regard them as, at least, demigods and worship them, bringing them gifts of myrrh and gold and frankincense. And, of course, by giving them ones’ own homes to live in. Would that be satisfactory a solution for you with regard to the “racist and nazi” situation in Estonia, or whatever other country? Because if it is, I shall write a letter to the Estonian authorities, proposing this particular solution, and see to the execution of this.
Take care
And the phenomenon of algal blooms that YOU brought up (which has diddly-squat to do with oil pollution, as you should have known) is observed in the environmentally uncaring U.S., environmentally conscious Europe, and attuned to nature Africa, suggesting that is it not a sign of poor U.S. practices. It’s just that the U.S. is actually DOING something about it. Come see Everglades, Mississippi delta is next.
…and yes, even in our redneck capital of the world this kind of spill would have resulted in a bucket-size red ink enema for the company and serious prison time for the individual offenders.
…fines and hard time for polluters? Not with a court system packed with pro-corporate judges.
It must have been those “pro-corporate judges” that found that carbon dioxide is a pollutant to be regulated by the EPA. Probably the most fucked up court decision in ages: I’ve always said that environmental protection has gone overboard about the time Endangered Species Act was passed, but that is just in-fucking-sane.
Stop the fighting boys!!!!
What we all want is to see is more pretty Russian girls in mini skirts and low cut shirts!!!!
Bring on the girls!!!!
It will cure all you nut jobs of your racist rants!!! If it doesn’t …..well, your just gay then.
I agree.
Just looks like an algea bloom to me.
Dirty russian river. Everything is dirty and trashy in Russia.
the algae is probably from fertilizer run off
You guys going at it is far more interesting than any international studies course I’ve ever had.
shut the fuck up both of you, you fucking bitches
