Opinion: Raver Controversy and the Russian Speccy Scene

You asked "what do you think about those people who hate ravah?"
(c) flp

I really don't know what to think... I think both sides are right and both sides aren't... I think ravah made a mistake saying his opinion about russian "sceners"... I think it's simply too late to create rules for russian scene life... I'll say what I think: "I think, that there isn't any scene on speccy!" [imho] Maybe there was, but now I think there isn't :(

When I was much more active, I've never thought about any "fucks" or "sucks", or stupid russian words, or anything more [officially of coz ;)].

I simply wanted to have more friends in a speccy case, be satisfied by cool demos and cracks, I enjoyed the smell of an envelope with new stuff arrived from England, Russia, Germany or other countries ;) I think that scene is a compilation of these thingies... (and also much more)... Yeah, I also don't like to write in Russian, I don't like progs translated to Russian, I even hate those stuff translated or made originally in my native Lithuanian language! I speak Russian very well [my parents are pure Lithuanians], I know... my English is bad, but "native scene language" is English... and the scene cannot be local, like Russians are thinking... So I'll repeat once more, that "there isn't any scene in Russia and all ex-USSR countries"! A couple of "well" thinking people is not a scene...

It was my opinion about rava's side... Now I'll write about the other side... I hope you know what kind of patriots Russians are...

All these phrases such as "mother russia", "russian vodka", "RO-SSIJA" and many more ;) ... I think only 3 out of 10 Russians could tell that Baltic countries isn't only RIGA ;) and ravah isn't God for Russians... they become mad when others say that Russia or Russians think wrong... Yeah... I'm also a patriot [exception is when Lithuanian language is used in progs ;) ]. Yes, some of us [Lithuanians] call Latvians "zirgas galvas", Estonians "kullamaje"... I think Latvians or Estonians are also "nicknaming" us ;) [I was very angry when our national basketball team lost to Latvians.. blet' "Zirgas Galvas" I said... ;)].

I think that Russians simply believe in the power of their country and the power of their language (I think 97% of Russians can write only "fuck off" or "rulez" and that's all. Maybe that's the problem, that they use only Russian). Yes, there are some groups or dudes who want to learn and use English. It's great! Raver's English is very good... but his Russian... ;)

I just remembered that Enlight party we went to, I had a talk with ravah in Russian... he could not speak well ;)...

So both sides made mistakes: ravah with his opinion and his "enemies" with their answer... and both of them want "kEwL sCenE"? OK! That's all. Sorry 4 mistakes!

Live in peace, dudes!!!
