This board is almost dead

..and Russia Dot Com used to be much more lively and had many members who posted daily...but I suppose many Comrades were purged by the Party and have disappeared forever into the Internet GULAG.

Alas, where are the Comrades of The Yeltsin Age. A magic time when Russians, Americans, Canadians and other nationalities spoke truely what was on their minds without fear of censorship and the dread GULAG......

Ilay -- The Fair?

Nonson The Insane?

Dr. Woland, The British Wanna-Be Russian?

Glock Girl, The Canadian Shootist?

BenCa The Wise?

Apache, The Wild Native American War Chief?

Justo, The Modest?

Wendist, The German Slav?

Ronald_Barbour, the Joker?

A sample of a Barbour Russian joke:

Dear Amy:

I have a Russian joke for you - In 1937, at the height of the Great Purge - Stalin remembers his mother! Also, he recalls that he hasn't seen the old lady in years, so he decides to invite her to the Kremlin.

He gives the assignment to the NKVD - the Soviet Secret Police - this in the middle of the Great Purge so the troops are little bit rough on the old woman, but in the end she appears before Stalin - somewhat frightened and with a black eye and a few missing teeth.

Stalin greets her: "Momma you are looking so good!" (Perhaps he did not consider it out of the ordinary that people he meets have black eyes and missing teeth). "I can see that the Soviet State has taken good care of you!" Hearing this the old woman thinks about how easy it would have been to kill this monster in his cradle had she not been a Christian, but she remains silent.

Stalin then treats the old woman to a review of the palace guard, and for three hours thousands of troops yell at him as they march past the reviewing stand, "For Stalin! For the Motherland!" Then comes the tanks, "Momma" says Stalin, these are the latest models built from plans stolen from the Germans." Then the Soviet Air Force flies over, and Stalin says to his mother, "Momma, these are the latest models built from plans stolen from the British and Americans!" Then march past the reviewing stand thousands and thousands of healthy young Soviet boys and girls carrying pictures of Stalin and signs saying, "God is Dead. Stalin is our Supreme Leader in All Things!" Seeing this Stalin's mother makes the sign of the cross (Stalin does not see this because he is taking flowers from a beautiful young girl who will later be arrested by the NKVD as an Enemy of the People for using as toilet paper newspaper with Stalin's picture on it. She will die about a year later somewhere in the GULAG).

Stalin next shows his mother his cars, his boats, his offices in the Kremlin, his painting collection, his gold, his jewels, his girlfriends, etc., etc. However, in the course of this grand tour not once does he offer food or drink to his elderly mother who hasn't eaten for three days, and is about to come down with pnemonia because her coat is too thin and its November. But Stalin's mother is a strong person who has survived a mean husband and , so far, an evil son. The reason that she makes no complaint is that she well rememebers what Stalin did to the last person who dared voice a complaint to his face: That was his late wife whom he had murdered in '33.

Anyhow all good things must come to an end; in this case in the wee hours of the morning, when a very tired Stalin asks his mother:

"Momma, what do you think about your little boy Joseph? Have I not had success beyond your wildest dreams! Am I not master of one-sixth of the world's land surface! And, momma, your little boy Joseph has plans to conquer the rest! This Hitler fellow is sure to attack the West and destroy Britain and America! Next Hitler will destroy Japan and Italy! And then, I, Joesph, your little baby boy will be the first Emperor of the Earth by attacking and destroying Hitler! Just think of the Power and Glory!!!"

Finally, Stalin's mother speaks in a low voice, "What will you do dearest when the Communists take over Russia."

This board used to be a novelty so attracted a diversity of people but now internet forums are ten a penny and forums like this have failed to develop anything new to attract new members.

Yes.... that and the heavy hand of the Administrators and Moderators who pulled the plug on anyone they didn't like....especially if they weren't PC.

Actually this proved to be a good thing since at least one purged Party member created his own message board and invited his former Russia Dot Commie Comrades to visit.

What happened to Comrade Niquie? She was a legendary purger who single handed sent many a Politically Incorrect Russia Dot Commer and Scotland Dot Commer to the GULAG starting with the infamous Ronbo...The word is the Revolution ate her alive...and shipped the remains off to a remote Internet Cafe in icy Siberia.

Niquie decided what was PC and what wasn't. If she had a bad morning and burned the toast or broke a nail, beware the first poster she read after that. The good posters who weren't pogromed just left because they got tired of taking her crap.

Andrew Blow comes in here occasionally. Everyone else is gone.

I've been here for years and keep hoping that someday this board will come back. But the real action is on red tape that gets 1,000 posts a day.

There was a Wendish member here? That must have been before my time.

This was the first internet forum I joined. I joined when Nique had just finished her first purge, but there was still a lot of activity. Ironically, it was after she was ousted that the board died, it seemed the only reason anyone wanted to visit this place anymore was to tick her off.

I'll wager Niquie became a moderator at Daily Kos or Democratic Underground who quickly get rid of anyone who isn't a Raving-Bolshevik-Moonbat-I-Wanna-Kill-Bush-Today- Nutburger -Black -Helicopter- Conspiracy -Fan.

The Left and the Muslims have one thing in common -- They just go absolutely postal when anyone questions their ideology, so their first reaction is to kill the opposition, but if you can't do that then the next best thing is to silence them.

We can't have peasants awakened, you know. After all, they may grab the old pitchfork and light torches and go after the monster.

The Wendist guy posted here back in 2001 and until I met him I was unware that there were Wends who I understand are German Slavs. One would think Hitler would have killed them off during the days of The Third Reich, but I suppose they "Grandfathered In" as honorary Aryans.

What I observed is that when Niquie started booting people their friends protested to the Administration who told Niquie who booted them off too for daring to make a complaint. Yes, and also there were many who stepped the dog's tail just to get banned, because it getting banned at Russia Dot Commie was sort of a badge of honor at websites like T.H.E. http://thehappyextremist.com/forum/index.php

In fact, it was so much fun, some people came back for double and triple banning by Niquie.
