Protect More Russians

Russia’s Prime Minister Medvedev stated that now people who have resided on the territory of the USSR or the Russian Empire will be able to apply for a Russian passport and get it through a vastly simplified procedure.

This will, of course, give Russia plenty of chances to invade a variety of countries in order to “protect” the 2 or 3 persons with these newly minted Russian passports.

Imagine what kind of environment this creates for the Russian speakers around the world. Would you want any of us around if you knew that the Russian army can appear any second to “protect” us?

I wonder if I can get one. The immigrant was my great-great-grandfather, some of whose sons returned and stayed, getting rich.

  There is one catch, though: you have to speak Russian. There is supposed to be an oral interview where applicants will demonstrate that they are actual Russian-speakers.

    What about me? I lived in Kyrgyzstan (formerly Kirghiz SSR and part of Turkestan Gub.) for almost four years and I can speak Russian. It isn’t perfect, but my wife understands me. So could I get a Russian passport?

  No, he doesn’t come up with ideas of his own. Putin tells him what to say and do. In Russia, Medvedev is known as “the idiot teddy bear.”

    he follows orders then, but offering the passport is great PR, considering that Edward Snowden is hiding out in russia, afraid to go home

      Snowden’s situation is ironic given that there is a bill under consideration in Russia right now that will criminalize publications by journalists and bloggers that question governmental policies in any way.

The parliament of Crimea apparently voted to join Russia. There’ll be a referendum in 10 days.

  Oh yes, Putin is notorious for holding legitimate voting.

  Also, that’s the parliament that has been occupied by Russian soldiers with machine guns for days now.
