 Very Good!

The wallpaper is very good. Looks nice and proffesional.

I'm Russian myself and I think we should at least be proud of out communist past, when the world feared and respected Russia.

And we should never forget - the communist was never an evil ideology. It supposed to provide total equality and welfare for _ALL_ people. However it proved to be utopical and unachievable.

And as it was already stated, the US becoming more and more similar to what Soviet Union was. But what's even worse - so many people still beleive in this kind of democracy.... So what is "evil empire" now, huh?

I like your English skills: I wouldn't think you were Russian at all if I hadn't seen that little paragraph at the bottom.

First of all, I wanted to mention that kde-look requires all posts to be in English. Second of all, I believe it requires the use of appropriate language. While I respect your opinion (and I did not leave Russia by my own free will, believe me), and understand that many others in the motherland feel the same way you do, I cannot respect you saying what you did in Russian so obviously to obfuscate the offensive nature of the post. Calling me a sell-out is all fine and dandy, but can't you say it to my face?

To call an emigre a traitor is much like calling a Jew living away from Israel a sell-out: while we all admire the ones who stayed, there's not much the ones who left could do about it.

If you did indeed stay to help the motherland as that paragraph implies, you might at least have had enough self-respect not to be cowardly.

As for the rest of your post, I agree with everything you said. I think our only point of contention is that you seem to see Communism as it was, as opposed to what it became. I maintain that to glorify communism is a slap in the face of our (sadly common) heritage: the star and the hammer and sickle are soviet symbols; the Chinese, for instance, use yellow stars on red background.

I would be very grateful if you took a look at the comment and asked yourself whether such people are really assets to the "rodina."

You know, I'm especially interested in how do you think _could_ he have helped his Fatherland(and preferably not getting ran over by the same country in the end)...

And no, I don't think this wallpaper is done exceptionally well artistically, but at least it's not over the top in the, erm, ideological sense unlike _some_ other ones...

That folks in the US believe it's fine to express your own beliefs. Good thing folks all over the world generally think freedom to express is a good thing too. Good thing you have pride in your heritage. Good thing I live where I do, too. ;)

 russian pride...

I am not Russian, I am Polish. There is no pride in your communist past. Or at least no normal human being would take pride in a nazi like history, where hundreds of thousand people were killed by overworking in terrible condition in gulags or over the far eastern Russia.

You should think twice before you write nonsense about being proud of that heritage. That heritage killed the elite part of many central european nations and what you should be about it is sorry, not proud.

 pride?

well first of all i think its great to see some political contents on kde-look that is different than the other stuff.
i, as a socialist like soviet symbols, but not as flags or national symbols and not as glorification of a country, but of the ideads of justice and equality(which can NEVER be achieved in our current system).
i think of pride as an egoistic feeling and harmful in most cases. while most people do not agree on this (and i accept that) you will agree that pride is absolutely not marxist or socialist.
glorifying a country is something typically capitalistic and any persons that calls him/herself communist/socialist-whatever does not believe in this. countries and borders seperate us, they are used to keep people apart and caged!
as Marx said THE PROLETERIAT DOES NOT HAVE A MOTHERCOUNTRY!

well, true enough...
...but: this flag combines the state flag of Arizona with the symbols used by the Societ Union. I can not quite see how this is glorifying either Arizona or the Soviet union as Arizona never was a part of the Societ Union nor was the Soviet Union ever part of Arizona. It is exactly this mix that shows that there is nothing nationalistic that prevents Arizona from being socialistic.
