It is in Russian but you should get the gist.
Basically it says how great things were when the Russians/Soviets were in charge Central Asia, Ukraine and the Baltics. How they beat all interventions and now they do not want freedom or democracy. At the and he says that others should be afraid.

The BBC did an article on this propaganda piece.  http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-31715389

There is a link to the video with English subtitles in the first paragraph.  Don't know how one graphic managed to survive on youtube for so long.

So where is your family from in Poland, Pawel?  One of my grandfathers spent five years in Poland as a guest of some unwelcome visitors that your country had a while back.

But enough chit-chat, we should all turn our attention back to our same sex partners.

Pardon?

[GDS_Starfury]

I think hes referring to the media distraction of gay marriage as opposed to covering international affairs.

Or yours, Gus', and mirth's...whatever it is you want to call it.  ???

I'm referring to the fact that Russian news is painting the West as corrupted by accepting homosexuality.  The "I Occupier" video decries Western values and briefly shows a penis pacifier, and an obscene cartoon which I won't describe. 

There was also an outrage a few weeks ago over a Western boy's room , which a Russian news channel doctored to depict with crude homosexual cartoon posters replacing dump trucks.  Fortunately, or unfortunately, I can't pin down a link with this.

Personally, I don't care what someone does consensually in their own bedrooms, but I don't give a damn for what is being implied whether or not it is solely for domestic Russian consumption or not.

Pardon indeed, Gus.  And thanks for the kind words Longblade and Starfury.

I typically leave the room when the penis pacifier comes up.

With or without the pacifier?
