    Or better yet, if some Chechen terrorists get their hands on nukes and blow up both Moscow and St. Petersburg. Would be no more of the evil empire. Chechens would have their independence, as will dosens of others. Iran won't be getting nuke know-how. France will be left as the only anti-Israeli voice on the UN SC...

    The Finns are reluctant to accept any parts of Karelia. St. Petersburg has not even been mentioned by today's politicians.

    Not all Finns! The smart Finns want it back but the Russian bear will have the final say.

    You can call me a fool but that doesn't look like it has anthing to do with politics, hate, racism etc it looks like a simple mugging + steeling from a random person who just happened to be an Israeli Diplomat, and it would have happened to anyone walking were he was, and that it probably has to do with the massive crome rate (With a rise in the crime rate) in Russia.

    St. Petersburg Finish? After what happened in 41-44 the Finns were lucky the Russians have made Helsinki a capital of some Republic.

    You are probably right in this case, that the incident does expose the lifestyle and the cultural character of that country.

    In other news, Russian population shrinked by 500,000 people this year!

    Russia Population Shrinks to 143 Million


    MOSCOW - Russia's population has shrunk by more than half a million people this year, dipping to 143 million, the federal statistics agency said Friday.
    Russia's population — the largest in Europe — has been declining steadily since the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union, with increased poverty, alcoholism, emigration and degradation of the health care system blamed for reducing birth rates and life expectancy.

    Since the beginning of the year, the population went down by 506,400, the agency said on its Web site.

    United Nations experts have urged Russian authorities to boost social spending to improve health care and prevent the population decline.

    In a United Nations Development Program report released this week, demographers predicted that Russia's population will fall to 100 million by 2050, and could even drop to 80 million.

    I never even suggested St. Petersburg was Finnish. Toga said there were people who want to return Karelia, which is quite true. There are many, especially those who once lived there, but many also consider that the return would be waste of money, because the Russian population has not looked after buildings and other structures and have caused much pollution.

    that's why you use distilled water for this type of entertainment.
