Russians Are Here

Russian car plates in America 1

Well, Russians are already here. They are riding among us, using our car plates with the secret Russian words embedded into them. The one above starts this series of Russian American Car Plates. It says “I’am first b*tches!”, this slangy phrase came from commenting habits to real life. So we put him first.

Sometimes they use only Latin alphabet letters, sometimes use tricks to use Latin letters or even numbers for a Cyrillic letter substitute, thus looking ambiguous for simple Americans but very obvious for any Russian meeting such a plate on the road causing him to understand that this is his fellow immigrant guy is driving ahead. We gonna decipher some of those secret messages American Russians are putting on their plates down there:

    2. Guy says:

      why would anyone want to have “semen” on his plates

      • Eris says:

        Nobody wants to have semen on their plates, except maybe some rare exotic pervs.

        ‘Семён’ must be transliterated as ‘Semyon’ (’yo’ stressed when pronounced), not ’semen’.

    3. franco says:

      Borat is Kazak, not Uzbek!!

    4. Sam says:

      The one with the Sahara tag is a Jeep Wrangler Sahara.

    5. Alexander says:

      Tiraspol is in Moldova, not in Ukraine!!!

      • Bert says:

        More like Transnistria..

        • Alexander says:

          Government of the country of my residence doesn’t count Transnistria as a country.

        • Max McBucks says:

          Transnistria is a separatist region (former part of Moldavia), a selfclaimed country which is not recognised by any other country in the world, maybe just by Russia (as it has some interest in this region). Tiraspol is a town of Transnistria. It is not by all means an Ukrainian town.

        • Kalasnikov says:

          Transnistria is not a state as log as is not worldwide recognized. They are some f***ing communists, who will naturally die some day and the f****ing Moscow interests will vanish…. I guess they are afraid that Moldova will be back to the Romania, as it belongs a long time before 19′th century when the f****ing ruusian empire, take from.
          So that is in Moldova. Remember taht, and if you’re not sure, look on the map. :)

    6. Женя says:

      Borat is from Kazakhstan

    7. myname says:

      “Egoistka” i “pchelka” are not only russian words. Tiraspol is moldavian (Moldova), not ukrainian.

    8. burkus says:

      Hey, Borat came from Kazakistan, not Uzbekistan!

    9. geevee says:

      Borat is not from Uzbekistan, but from Kazakhstan.

    10. Rodriguez says:

      borat from Kazakhstan not Uzbekistan stupid

    11. Feelov says:

      Наши отжыгают! )))

    12. anon says:

      Предпоследнея фотка может читатьця “здОрово”, а может “здорОво”. Или оно с а пишется? Не помню блин…

      • Eris says:

        Absolutely correct. :)
        The word ‘zdorovo’ can be read either as zd0rovo (first ‘o’ stressed), which means ‘great, terrific’, or zdor0vo (second ‘o’ stressed), which is a form of ‘wassup’ or ‘hi ya’. It depends on context. :D

    13. CZenda says:

      This behavior is not limited to Russians. My uncle, who emigrated to USA in 1969 after Soviets occupied Czechoslovakia, has a plate saying “PLZEN” on one of his Corvettes.
      Plzen is Czech city he comes from.

    14. luk says:

      niektóre są polskie. Najpierw sie dobrze zorientujcie a potem piszcie, gdyz z tego co widać to amerykanie nawet nie wiedza gdzie leży Europa a Polska to już wogóle.

    15. TheDeadEye says:

      >>“SOTONA” - “The Satan”. He is an atheist!

      Atheists don’t believe in Satan either.

    16. “Vezdehod” tag on a fucking Honda(!) Pilot(!) is something. As if it could or ever will go offroad.

    17. Maddcowe says:

      Ha ha…Russians name their kids Semen. Tee hee.

    18. satan says:

      Satan on the plate means he/she is atheist? How stupid are you? Atheists dont’t believe there is a god, so how can they believe there is satan? Damn, you’r an idiot.

    19. user251 says:

      Cool! I saw those a lot in the Northeast… too bad there seem to be none in Alabama.

      Right, Borat was from Kazakhstan and he hated “assholes” Uzbeks. And atheists don’t believe in Satan and other bullshit.

    20. Max says:

      Strah, Zakon and Sotona are also Sebian words…

    21. ext says:

      I see the “Gruz1n” Infinity practically every single day in Brooklyn, along with “MAXIMKA”.. in fact MAXIMKA has changed 4-5 cars in the last two years or so.. starting with a new Infiniti and finishing off with some beat up old Nissan. Fun.

    22. bones says:

      hey, dude, afaik armenia, georgia and ukraine are separate countries with local languages and cultures - not parts of the mighty (1/6 of the world) russian empire. oh shit i forgot, not true anymore

    23. VoDkA says:

      No medved? Que?

    24. Reader says:

      I know the “EGOISTKA” lady. She is a b..ch from Poland.

    25. TheDeadEye says:

      Satan is a fictional character in a fairy tale.

    26. kissko says:

      borat is from Kazachstan… not from Uzbekistan :)

    27. Natusik says:

      Sorry - but Alena is a separate name, bot a form of Elena

    28. Natusik says:

      Sorry - but Alena is a separate name, not a form of Elena

    29. axiom says:

      Satan worshipers are not atheist. Satan worshipers believe in the physical world and it´s pleasures or are just nuts and do not understand the evolution of theology or of the Devil. ( long story, read up on it ). Atheism, as an explicit position, can be either the affirmation of the nonexistence of gods, or the rejection of theism. It is also defined more broadly as synonymous with any form of nontheism, including the simple absence of belief in deities. So, atheist are open to academics on the subject but not to some ridiculous fairy tale story to explain why we are here. Theology is not the same as science.

    30. Danny says:

      Tiraspol is not in Ukraine, thats the capital of Transnistria. Although let’s just say it is the second largest city of Moldova as no country in the world accepts the existence of Transnistria. Btw, they make hell a lot of weapons there, i guess it’s just another maffia guy with this kind of license plate, although Nissan is not a typical maffia car :).

    31. e says:

      all this guys putting the “M” sign on a BMW 740 or the AMG sign on a S 500. These cars dont exist. Fake shit.

    32. Mr.Tinkles says:

      - “The Satan”. He is an atheist!

      Atheists do not believe in any God or supreme force,it doesn’t means that atheists worships Satan

    33. Whomever wrote this post, don’t quit your day job. You suck something awful. Check your shit next time before hitting that publish button.

      P.S. “Well, Russians are already here. They are riding among us” - What are you? Sure as shit ain’t native U.S.

    34. Nobody says:

      I saw a license plate that said XPEH here in Maryland

    35. Rico says:

      KAPETA is also Portuguese for “The Devil”.

    40. Semyon says:

      Something is wrong in photo #1. It looks like the car actually levitates, it’s wheels doesn’t touch the ground. Looks at the shadow it casts.

    52. shaiya says:

      At gieroy: You aren’t very bright, are ya?

      It’s obvious to the most casual of observers that on photo #1 the sun is shining from behind (hence the glare from the liscence plate and tail lights).

      That means that the shadow you are referring to is from another object (likely a car from which the pic was taken) directly behind the infinity.

      The shadow of the infinity in question would therefore be cast directly forward and cannot be seen from this angle.

      There is a an auto place in Brooklyn called Lada Auto, they sell cars there and it is being run by a Russian. It is located on the corner of McDonald Avenue and Quentin Road.

      BCE CAM is a Russian marketing company or something like that in Brooklyn. The car’s owner is probably the owner of the company.
