Because we are great and big

…This occurred somewhere between Moscow and Berlin…

Markus (11.34 PM): Hi! how are you? How is your poor Russia?

Mat (11.35 PM): WHAT???? Are you mad?! Russia is the greatest and richest country in the world! And I am fine!

Markus (11.37 PM): ahhhhhhhaaaa, your most popular queen was German?! No? we gave refuge to your famous Lenin! No?

Mat (11.40 PM): Lenin, our great communist, you might keep him in Germany! Katherine the Second, who could she be without Russia, without our treasure, territory, army…

Mat (11.41 PM): …. she was a talented leader, excellent manager and no more! I may say: “Russia is looking for a good manager send CV to Elena!” Germans? I know only German philosophises and from writers, Goethe and Jesse, yes they are well-known, but who else?

Markus (11.42 PM): I will write later. And today your situation is like in king times, Russian people want a strong mighty man and give all responsibility for their lives in his hands without own thinking.

Matey (11.45 PM): We are too open-hearted, we don`t think properly about the future, yes. For you it is hard to understand that to give is better than to get…

Hey Elinka, calm down a little)
Seems I found russian girl, who tries to proof her opinion with arguments.... I hope you know that you are lost:)
 tak.. first of all, Lenin was a Russian, we just brought him to you for you go
out of first World War. And by the way, the communism was the only thing in
history which gave you world importance, not the best of course, but importance.
For a nation which got the script in 8th century (!) after Christ from Greece
prayers, you have a very big mouth)
I may show you some great Germans: First of all, of course, Goethe... he was brilliant writer, and a lot more (nobody knows exactly what:), not to forget Lessing and Schiller (also great writers). Russia has good composers, but compared with Beethoven, Bach, Wagner, Mozart (Austria belongs also to German history) you are nothing.
Back to history... who discovered how to print books? (maybe the most
important thing which was ever discovered)... it was Johannes Gutenberg, a German.
The Protestantism... Martin Luther, German... in discussion with the problem of
Protestants, also the orthodox church had to think and to change. But we
needn't go so far, also in younger times germans changed the world... Werner von
Braun developed the rocket-technology (all space programs in USA or CCCP
based on him)... and what is with Einstein, also German.
Ok, now u have a little picture of some big Germans:)
I have some seminars about Russian history, and sorry... but I notice, that in all times Russia was damned backyard... and also today.
And stay calm... don't scream, Lenichka moya:) poka!
And germans are the best!!!!


Dorogoi moi MARKUS (it is irony, not sympathy don`t be proud:-)
 Tak… Austria belongs also to german history HA-HAAAAAAAA, YOU WERE NOTHING till Otto Bismark came!!!! I will argue that Austro-Hungary was German??? You have too big mouth!!!!:)
Back to history... who discovered how to print books?
Who is the best in Chemistry? Don`t you know?! Mendeleev discovered his famous table!
We were the first (poor Russia as you told earlier) who sent a person in space and even NOW Americans use our safe capsules because the are better. Really!!!!!!
 WE - RUSSIANS are the greatest nation in the world, why? No other population could overcome and survive so many hardships, repressions, political crises that we had. There are known facts that: Russians are the most well-educated nation, we read more than any other state, we are proud of our culture!
No, you are bad in our history in the end of 19th and in the beginning of 20 we were on of the best ORB! Read more, you will see. There is a historical anecdote: Our Monarch (Alexander the Third if I am not mistaken) was fishing and his servant came and said: “Your Majesty, am ambassador from France (maybe Austro-Hungary) waiting for you”. And our Tsar said that the whole Europe would wait for Russian Monarch! This shows the GREAT influence we had.
Lenin spoiled everything, it would be better if your country allowed him to stay on you territory ;)))))))))
P.S. You are too boring; you know what will be after your university, you know in general everything about your future life, so you are calm and dull!
With the best wishes to you, from Elena (a citizen of the most wonderful country in the World =)
 
Privet!!!
So... now to your: "RUSSIANS are the greatest nation in the world":)
The argument what I hear mostly is "cause we are soooo damned big", well,
yes. But why you are so big? Cause in 15th century all your people hunted for skins
of animals (polar fox); and in the most of your territory is
nobody... except forest, you are even too stupid to build streets to your
resources there. So for me you are just so big, cause nobody wants live there.
Now to your: "No other population could overcome and survive so many hardships, repressions, political crises that we had."
To this the answer is very easy: No other population would HAVE so much
hardships, repressions, political crisis that u had. Russia’s problem is, that it
is to all times were a backyard, other nations go to future, the people try to
change the society.... but in Russia nobody understands how to do this, people
think "ok, the situation is bad, but we anyway can change nothing". And when
all is in shit you try to copy a political system from Europe, but nobody
understands it... and 5 years later, all is again in shit.
Ahm.... u should go some time before Austrian-Hungary history. You will
notice that all great nations developed from German tribes. (ok, ok, France
from Celtic tribes) Even before Bismarck, Germans were well known for great power and culture. All your arguments can't change my opinion. (Johanes Gutenberg discovered
printing!)
Fact is: If no Greece preachers, would you have script at all? German tribes
had script... let me lie.... 300 till 500 before Christ.
And what was in end of 19th century? Russia was during all times backyard, and
your strange anecdote (surly written by Russians) is bad argument, don't be very angry, Lenichka moya..
And even me have no idea what will be tomorrow, I'm sorry, but germans are
normal humans (and even not lazy). Indeed I have no big idea, what will be after my study, what I will do exactly, if I will be able to find paid job.
Tak, my Russian soul, just continue to hope for good future and all will be ok! This phrase helped all Russian generations to survive. But great people try to change smth, and don't hope that all will be done from alone.
I know that the truth is hard, but one day you will understand it.
P.S.: You said that Lenin destroyed all, but you are proud of your space program, but
it was made by communists.... and you know that for this great program your
economy went down.
And I think the Red square is really one of the most beautiful places in the world. But in Berlin is not only the centre is nice.
Hm....how to find resolution.... maybe we say that we can't change the opinion of the other:) I think it’s realistic. (But of course I know that I am right).


Zdravstvui! PLEASE, no resolution, if we find a resolution we will become boring …. We will speak about silly hobbies (you have a lack of humor, so it would be dull): what do you read? What do you eat? How are you? I am fine. We will send to each other postcards…. and at last decide not to speak in ICQ but continue from time to time congratulate ((with 3-5 words)) each other with New year or Christmas, Markus, optimistic perspective???????! With you I prefer to quarrel, sorry.
About your letter…
“….But great people try to change smth, and don't hope that all will be done from alone.”
Someone famous (Englishman if I am not mistaken) told: there are three things to make our life better: laugh (smile), sleep and hope… So the people who never hope for the best are lost for life!
 PLEASE! Don`t be sorry for us and for me particularly :+) you will find a girl-friend and will take her in Germany and teach her how to live, what to do and not to do and even how to use tooth paste more economically … you will be a good professor, Dear Markus, (you are too grumbling ;)
 But why you are so big?
Don`t envy!!!!!!!!
 Our economy can`t go down we are the richest country, we have oil, gas (the Europe lives due to our minerals ;o) diamonds, wood…).
THANK you very much for complement to the Red square, it’s beautiful… particularly in winter and at night :^) Also there are quite many dirty places in Berlin like every where in the World…
:)

Tag auch! And I`ve heard today about explosion in your metro, terrible, hope you are ok?
From end of February till April, I will be in Moscow, at Pushkin Institute
(such a language travel), one day we can continue our discussion in reality, but I think you will be too much impressed to see real German (this aura of light, this sky blue eyes, tall and strong...undefeatable), please don't fall on your knees:), Ya ujas segodnya, scusi:)
Ou damned! Today I took too much tooth paste! How it shall survive till end of month? AAAAA... my financial year plan is in ass!!!
And I still have no comment for that you got script in 8th century from Greece
preachers!!!
 And yes, you have damned much resources, your society should be one of the most
 richest in the world. That it isn't so, show me that Russians are not able to
use their own brains. Indeed you live on credits from USA and Europe (specially
Germany), and not on your own resources... little hint: if you would build streets
to your mines and oil fields, you would have chances to use them. But your folk is
young, you can still learn. I'm sure one day, with our help, you will manage to become great nation:)

Markus,
your phrase: Du mut die Sprache des Feindes sprechen, mut wissen wie er denkt, nur dann
wirst du ihn besiegen!:) I can`t understand … are we enemies?!
Ohhhh, my God…… I have just got over from wounds on my knees (it is so cruel from you:^)… too many Germans for my poor health. The last time I met natural Aryan in Moscow in January this year, he was boy-friend of my best-friend:) Besides this, I don`t like blonds with blue eyes particularly =)

Lenichka moya,
Of course we are not enemies, how could nice Russian girl be my enemy? It's just a stupid phrase in Russian-German relations:) When I say smth like this...may I ask u not to take it soooo seriously... I have it in blood, sorry:)
And about Greece preachers: Yes! I want hear it from u! "My great Russian nation, was not able to develop script by their own, we needed Greece prayers in 8th century(!) which taught us script"
Tak, I think your braveness slowly dies, seems you accept that I'm right.

Markus, the specialist in medieval Jewish Spain:0) Tak.. tak… about braveness no I`ve just give you a little break, I take care about your soul health.
I found an interesting fact in 17th century Germany was an ideal backyard :), there was a change in routs of trade ways, your coal fields became weaker in that period and France influenced much to your politic and life in general, giving catholic religion and so Germany supported French everywhere because was dependant from it. No?;-)


Privet,
About your strange French theory....:) In 17th century they had very good
educated and useful people called "Hugenotten", but they were followed in
France cause of religion. But a clever Prussian king gave them religion
freedom, and caught this good people to Germany:) Its other thing than you tried to
explane:)
Tschss, Lena, do vstrechi.


Guten morgen!
(((One remark – maybe it is not serious: the word “explain” not “explane”, because it helps to make our hard thoughts plain and smooth ;) Ya, du bist absolutely write and i fully agree… that “army” is curse word in Russia, it is really dangerous to be a soldier because people there, are mentally disable (not all of course, but a great part of them). And ONLY IN THIS MOMENT I agree with you that in Germany it is better!
I recollected my favourite German person – it is E.M. Remark! :) I`ve read almost all his novels.

 
Dobrym utrom, Lenok:)
About tartars in 13th century I did course work last semester:) So there I am also very well informed.
About association Russia as bear… And we don't think about Russia as big bear:)..... more as a big country with a lot resources, but it's not able to make good economy.... I think Germans are afraid that you destroy economy of EU, if u would enter it. And of course we think that then millions of Russians would stream into our nice
country and try to have better life here, they bring crime, violence....
sorry.
 Russian people at street..... well, a strange caprice of God:) Unfriendly, cold faces... how the hell you can live so... I thought you are proud nation, but seems life is damned terrible. We lost war, but look at Russians, then look at Germans.... and then start crying, Lenichka moya:)
Hm... dumayu eto vsyo.

 Markus!
Do you have any associations when you hear Australia (I am writing an introduction to my term-paper).
Australia.... my first thought is...... The children of prisoners and criminals... it is very good question if anyone can trust them:)
No comments about Russians on the streets…
I hate some words in different languages: “boy” in English I can’t even explain why this word particularly, when say ‘baby” to young lady! Also “zhenschina” (in Russian it is pronounced so awful that it seems to me that it is a not “lady” but some sort of monster), let me think…I will remember more:)
P.S. Your topic of the letter – Pismo ot Germanii, not right!
- Pismo IZ Germanii, but Pismo OT Lenki. …I`ll try to explain: “Ot” means that Germany (you great state Germany) sit down, took a pen or computer and wrote (typed) a letter specially for me (of course it would be a great honor for me:) But “iz” means from somewhere from country or region, clear?
 P. P.S. Don`t you mind if I take some parts of our letters… I fond them quite funny and interesting;) One friend of mine said that German with sense of humor is unique!!!!
P.S: and yes, you can use my phrases (but only where is written that I am great, nice, perfect German :)
P.P.S. Dumayu eto vsyo, ili u tebya eshchyo est' voprosi?:)
Markus, Wonderful phrase:^))))))))))) – according to grammar it is ok, but it sounds too rude, because of construction of the sentence!
Hm... indeed I think I sound terrible, and with pronunciation like in a command, please forgive me this, ya nemets:)

Privet!
And now to your loooong comment to friendship: I think every human is other in mind. Me for example don't expect that a friend helps me in soul crises or smth like this, and I even wouldn't want it. I'm strong and proud enough to manage every problem in myself, when I die during this, then it's so:) And cause I think so, I also think that my friends think the same, and that I would offend them if I would give some deeper help. .... but of course I mean friendship to guys.... with girls is another thing:) I told you, girls must be loved and protected.... even when can't be beloved, they need to be protected. So it's quite other thing than with guys.
And I also think, that cause of this a friendship between girl and guy (when it's deeper one, not only meet sometimes on party and say hello), also includes the very big possibility to become more than friendship. Cause when the girl has problems, guy has protection-feelings :), and girl feels that somebody listen and care for her, and she will fall in love, anyway if she has already guy or not. That’s why in a love you must be also such friends, or the girl will talk to other friend.... or the guy will listen to another girl..... there shouldn't be a deeper friendship then between lovers, when its real love of course.
Nu, do vstrechi,:)

Markus, thank you very much for your comments about friendship, I was very surprised to read about guys` friendship, It was very cognitive information =)
I think that friendship between lady and man is impossible, in my opinion it is like love without answer… because in this union someone sympathizes to another and another allows to sympathize… If it is not so… some time later it will become smth more.
Best wishes.

Lena!
About your Americans I heard about that George W. Bush was furious, as his staff reported him (after 2 weeks recherch), that he can't attack Afghanistan with ships from the sea:) shame on you that you go to this country! And now a wise phrase: "God made the alcohol for that the Russians, the French and Irish people can't rule the world":)
est' voprosi, net voprosov.... molotsi:)
Sorry for long waiting time, but I like when girls are waiting for me:)

Markus, don`t say sorry, it is usual manner to make people waiting for you, it works great, if a person sympathizes to you too much and of course if I were attached to you I would worry! But it is very nice that I don`t attitude to you in such way:0)
Poka.

Time passed…. Walking somewhere in the center of Moscow…

 - Lenok, smth has happened near my university hostel, there was such sound, I think it was police, do you hear it was like this!?
- O, no, it is alarm on private cars, to prevent them from stole, police sleeps at night :)
- It is forbidden in Germany to use such signals. But it is too loud I can`t sleep!!!
- :^)))))))))) It is only in the beginning.
- Strange country, you know that you live in a strange country… You have shops and bars opened 24 hours a day, you don`t economize energy, your parks and streets have too many lights.
- Because we are great and big =) and you, Markus, study Russian, you come from time to time, you want to live and to work here, so you like Russia?
- Yes a little bit, but look at your money?
- and what is wrong with our cash?!
- 500 rubles, look attentive, what is described here? What for is it famous?
- I know it is an ancient monastery in the North of our country.
- What else? Do you know his blood history?
- Yes, in Stlalin`s ruling thousand of people were killed there.
- AHhhhhA, it is the same if on euro we print Osventsem and write: Arbeit macht frei!
- I`ve never thought about this, really, very interesting…

Some time later…

- Elena, why don`t you sympathize to me at all?
- It is interesting to argue and to quarrel with you but nothing more...
