Putin Takes A Dive Into Lake Hitler

Here’s a delightful image. What if the United States had 120,000 male teenage Ann Coulters running around? Sounds like the ultimate nightmare, doesn’t it? That is what seems to be happening in Russia. They are known as “Nashi” and they speak the same extremist language as Coulter. They fanatically support Putin, call the political opposition traitors and fascists and demonize foreign powers. The only difference between Coulter and the Nashi, is that the Nashi have no problem with using physical force to make their point.

The Nashi aren’t the only group. There are also the “Young Guard” and “Walking Together.” The one thing these groups have in common is their fanatical devotion to Putin, much like the Sturmabteilung’s fanatical devotion to Hitler.

They are highly disciplined and sponsored by the Kremlin. They must receive basic military training before they can become members. The Nashi also have a volunteer “police force,” who patrol and “if necessary beat hooligans." These young militants form what is essentially a private army, devoted to one man: Putin.

Meanwhile, Putin is stoking the fires of anti-Americanism. At a recent military parade, Putin made comments about “new threats” to the world “as during the time of the Third Reich.” Pretty much the same kind of talk Adolph was spewing out during his rise to power. And the crowd at the Independence Day parade soaked it up. Mostly because the only people allowed into Red Square that day were members of the youth groups. The kids are catching on to Putin’s message.

"It is time to put an end to America being the strongest and most influential empire. We won't let America make Russia another one of its colonies."


Super and totally not creepy.

The Nashi claim they are fighting against fascism. (Exactly the same claim made in the early days of the Nazi party and by Benito Mussolini’s Blackshirts.) Unfortunately, fascists seem to only be defined as people who criticize Putin.

Meanwhile, the kids are doing some really quality work in Russia.

With parliamentary and presidential elections coming up, Nashi and its sibling movements have an obvious target—anyone who presumes to challenge Putin and his ruling clique for power. Who might they be? Nashi recently issued a leaflet identifying them. This "Gallery of Traitors," appearing in print and online, featured twisted portraits of such opposition leaders as former Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov and radical writer Eduard Limonov. They were declared enemies of the people, scheming to subvert their nation and turn it over to foreign spies and conspirators. Among them, too, are exiled Yeltsin-era oligarch Boris Berezovsky and Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the former billionaire brought down after he began funding opposition to Putin in 2004.


And the Young Guards are doing their thing. They have staged training sessions in how to handle an “Orange Revolution.” At the end of one training session, the Young Guards grabbed baseball bats and smashed up a mock Orange tent camp. That might discourage any future protestors a bit.

The Nashi are also using technology in ways the Nazis could have only dreamed of. They pass out brochures and SIM cards in Moscow. The SIM cards allow users to text the Kremlin, where Nashi volunteers are waiting to receive the word of whatever horrible event is occurring on the streets and respond. If any Orange revolution activity is seen, the Nashi will send out texts to their foot soldiers to respond. (Might be a really great use for the new iphones, by the way)

The Nashi are also taking their message to outlying village schools, to teach the young minds about the truth.

"Putin is a lonely wolf surrounded by rats," says Panchenko to the schoolchildren. "Russia has become too corrupt—it is time to change things, time for stronger leaders, like us."


You can’t really argue with that description of Putin. Poor, little, lonely wolf. It’s really quite scary if you think about all the rats. The Kremlin has given $220 million to help fund these little fascists. And they get some sweet perks.

Members enjoy free admission to various schools of management, where they study government, business administration or public relations. They go on to allocated internships in top state enterprises such as Gazprom, Rosneft, state-owned television stations and even the Kremlin.


The Nashi are now paying off in spades. In May, Estonia removed a statue of a WWII Soviet soldier in Tallin. The small country suddenly found itself overwhelmed by a cyber attack. Servers went down and NATO Internet security experts were brought in to combat the assault. Russian sponsored protests in Estonia left 1 dead and 99 injured. In Moscow, Estonia’s ambassador was attacked by the Nashi and were only stopped when the ambassador’s bodyguards sprayed them with mace. The ambassador and his staff were forced to flee the country. Nashi barriers shut down the highway from Moscow to Estonia. They created a large sign that read, “You are driving toward fascist Estonia.” This all happened because Estonia took down a statue. What if the small country had actually really done something negative toward Moscow. What would the reaction been then?

The world is, understandably, a little freaked out.

"Everyone is frankly scared of the way which Russia is going, but no one knows what to do about it," says one European diplomat in Moscow, not authorized to speak on the record.


Well, what can you do? This shit is off and running. It’s 1933 Germany all over again.

And you thought Bush was bad news….

No, I feel that the UN is the only one who can diplomatically resolve something like this, we as a nation have shown that we are diplomatically impaired in every thing we have done lately. We are bound to have another world war though and the posturing done by Russia is an indicator who might take part in it, the U.S's "great" foreign policy really doesn't help either. I hope that Russia does not become an expansionist based government again, I mean shit that would be nearly forty years of progress down the tube. On top of that, we can't afford another war, yes it would be the perfect time to topple us as the one super power, but honestly at least I have a reasonable chance of living in the Iraqi war. If we go to war with Russia, I can kiss my and my friends asses good bye, yes I know I get paid to die if thats what happens, but that doesn't mean I want to. That is why I think the UN should take care of this one, and leave Dubyah and Cheney on the sidelines. Does this make any more sense. smile


Actually I think it's a smart, sensible and well thought out post. No bullshit =)


He's secretly kind of a cool guy. But don't tell anyone or he'll have to kill you.

I don't need that, I already have six people sworn to kill me, and another 3 who might if I step in the wrong direction.

It might have helped if you actually had any points. Maybe you could try that sometime.

I just went back and checked, all of his "points" were addressed and refuted, maybe commingled with some personal attacks.

If you're like me and a big fan of computer games, you might be helped by this visualization. The boards on SG are like a computer game with different levels. The boss in level one might be the English language, for instance. So someone who can't defeat the English Language Demon in single combat can't move on. You seem to be stuck on level 3--the Factual Accuracy Troll. If you can delve into the wilds of the internet and find some facts, you may be able to slay that evil troll and move on to level 4, where you'll face the Baelrog of Cogency.

I am not into all this mud slinging so I will stay out of it........but Vladamir is a political genius. I don't know how many of you have been to Russia since or before Perestroika. Russia has gained in leaps and bounds a lot faster than China has (especially in the commodities and raw material market) in the last 15 years.

With an ever growing economy his government needs strict control, but needs outside capital to feed itself. How better to do this than to control the states or regions but with Governors that you hand pick yourself (so only deals on oil or ore come through him). How do you control most (not all) information, but to take over most T.V., radio, newspapers, and other media, but by making them all government run. How do you become a leading export of OPEC and still feed your people, by letting the oil companies only profit from a $20 a barrel cap. How do you keep the rest of Europe off your back, by turning off the natural gas pipelines for 1 day.....just to prove a point. Yes of course he has a cult like following in his country. He is a Rock Star!!!

Just turn on any American T.V. and you can see how we have become a bunch of pussies that no one has respect for anymore. When Russians see how we coddle and treat terrorist......they laugh! When Russia is attacked they don't fuck around or wonder about human rights......they kill them (if their own get in the way.....oh well)!!!

When Russians see how our government bickers and fights over stupid shit......they laugh! Why? They want and need things too, but they learned the lessons of their past.......don't destroy you economy over mindless drivel.

Russia is a major player on the world......don't let your mind think they will ever slip into a socialized state again; they will still have certain programs but nothing like the former U.S.S.R. had. There people like to eat, but they also like their freedom in being materialistic. Moscow is the most expensive place on the planet to live..........check it out! The reason why is because there is so much money to be made there........I am not talking about being rich......I am talking about being wealthy.

Gorby might be the father of Modern Russia, but Vlad is the Godfather that makes it all run and will keep Russia at the forefront of world politics. The more stable and the less corruption (the first few years Russia was so chaotic).......more freedom will be had, but until then and only until then a stranglehold will be needed.

You can all call me names now.......I have been lucky enough to meet President Putin (just meet, not have a discussion).......and I like him!
