Hmm. It is a well known "Vkontakte" messenger and video is there. Maybe, if you tried to see it at your office you could meet the messenger blocking - a very usual policy now in many offices, at least in Russia now. You can try Tor browser - it still allows watch what you like to.

Bye, Anton!

Well known to Putin's ass-lickers? ;) VKontakte is a shithole of Russian propaganda.

Now they block connections from abroad! Don't you know that???

Sounds funny when a guy from a country where the Tor Browser is blocked advises others to use it :)

Sasha-boy, you are such a putin-style person :)))

A poor crazy liar and provocateur. ;-) Vkontakte messenger now is the main mean of communication for the Russian people and their relatives abroad, voice calls including.

Fake news, Sasha-boy :) You're just like our old idiot Putin - telling absolute bollocks every time you open your gob :)

1. I am not poor - I'm doing alright actually, especially compared to you ;)
2. I am not crazy - Russia officially allows me to have weapons :)
3. I am always telling the truth and you're constantly parroting Russian propaganda, which is so badly made that only old idiots in Russia believe it :)
4. I am not a provocateur - it's your lovely Putin's regime that's created a situation where you can get jailed up for 10 years just for saying something in favour of Ukraine!

main mean of communication for the Russian people and their relatives abroad, voice calls including.

Fake news again :) Only tech-illiterate people use it when they've got no other option - I'm personally giving VPN access to hundreds of Russians (for free) to use WhatsApp and Signal, because VKontakte messages can be bought from corrupt FSB officers for a fistful of dollars ;))

This kind of personal attack, along with your other comments to Alexander, has no place in this echo. We don't do politics, religion, or other controversial topics here. Please take your disagreement with <insert name here> to some other echo; don't drag them into here.

Thank you

So you'd rather spread lies, as Alexander is doing here, then?
Is "spreading disinformation and promoting mass surveillance" actually Canada's modern agenda? Trump was right?

You have clearly misunderstood the purpose of your existence!

As Churchill declared: "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"(C).

If you have personally chosen to capitulate to disinformation and falsehoods and allowed the English language to cease being the language of Freedom - that is your personal choice, not the choice of others who wield this language in the fight for truth!

Canada has evidently become a refuge for the lily-livered! Meanwhile, the UK remains steadfast and resolute.

So let me instruct you in proper British English, rather than the insipid North American dialect of Canada.

Maybe you and Alexander could both move to a more appropriate echo to
continue the debate/discussion? Here are a few FIDO suggestions:

ALL-POLITICS
CONTROVERSIAL
DEBATE
POLITICS
POL_DISORDER

That way you can continue your discussion freely with others who might be interested.

Amazing!


And if I may say something about English - I was amazed by the enormous amount of terms used to describe different sea regions. We have almost zero analogues in Russian - the British were in fact great sailors:

Trade Winds
Roaring Forties
Furious Fifties
Screaming Sixties
Horse Latitudes
Doldrums
Westerlies
etc.

Or the classical:

The sun is over the yardarm.

My favorite ;)

Nothing even close exists in the Russian language.

Intersting observation. I have heard many of those English terms, but only know what some of them mean. Others I am not so sure about. ;)

I also think English is much richer than other languages in several other areas:

1. Law.
2. Business
3. Sport
4. IT/telecom

Basically, in areas where English-speaking countries were very advanced.
