In Moscow, killed the leader of the red skinhead
Evening of November 16 in Moscow happened contract killing. In those killed was identified by one of the informal leaders of Russian anti-fascists Ivan Khutorskoi. He became the latest victim of an undeclared war between the ultra and ultra-right radicals, war, which has recently increased noticeably.
Ivan Khutorskoi was known to friends and enemies by the nickname Ivan Kostolom. Ominous nickname he got a passion sambo. In his 26 years he was one of the veterans antifascist movement. In an obituary published by his associates in the LJ, states that Khutorskoi stood at the origins of Russia's movement of red and anarchist skinhead, that is, those skinheads who hold radical left beliefs and shared anti-fascist stance. Also mentioned that Khutorskoi was related to the Sharpe-grouping of Moscow Trojan Skinheads, but his friends believe that they were only a business relationship. The fact that Sharp (from SHARP - Skinheads Against Racial Prejudices) - skinheads who oppose discrimination based on race, have no clear political direction, whereas Khutorskoi belong to the leftist activists.
Judging from the scraps of information from the biography of the deceased, he had a direct bearing on the actions of direct action, ie, street fights with neo-Nazis.

These reds and anti-fascists are violent, anti-democratic, and actually create racial tension.
Multi-racial societies will only be pleasant and harmonious, if at all, when they have not been socially engineered to be so.

I wish that the situation here would be the same. Russians in Estonia are ruining walls with "ANTIFA" graffiti. They're the most common in Russian areas of Tallinn and central Tallinn(next to a Russian area of Tallinn). The funny thing is... There are no fascist movements in Estonia.
There seems to be a large cultural cap between the Russians of Russia and between Russian immigrants of Estonia.(If it is true that even the simple Russian in Russia doesn't like ANTIFAs and the reds/commies) The Russians here are a bunch of commie bastards, the ANTIFA graffiti everywhere just proves my claim.

The ideologies are not the same, just the ethnicity.
The starkest contrast available to us in the western world is the experience of the jews, who when the have a majority are the most 'intolerant', nationalist, and patriotic country in 'the west' as discussed here:
http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10533
And as minorities in western countries are the biggist advocates of 'tolerance' and the most anti-nationalist and anti-patriotic of all groups, for example as seen here:
http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10809
What this all shows is that it impossible to have any sort of 'diverse' ethnic groups within the same political jurisdiction without the 'minority' attempting to subvert the needs of the majority to serve their own ends.

The sad thing is, that they are probably the poorer ones put there by the Russian state and migrational pressures. There are many parallels all over this sorry planet.
Immigration and often migration are a product of social injustice, instability and political games.
My maternal grandparents migrated to London because of political and economic pressures. My maternal family is scattered and I do not even know where, and the cultural and linguistic links are entirely lost. In London, my grandmother's last rites were read in German, a language that me, my mother and my uncle do not even understand.

In a sense you're right, but more than anything, they were put there by Russian altruism and goodwill. During the Soviet Union, "brotherhood of the nations" was the fad du jour. Even shortly after the Great Patriotic War, where close to 20 million ethnic Russians died, the Soviets kept pouring billions of roubles into the bottomless hole that was the modern Baltic republics, essentially creating their entire infrastructure and industry out of nothing, and this process continued until the 1980s. The Russian people went along with this because they are by nature generous and altruistic, and of course, expected than in return the Balts treat resident Russians with respect and dignity. After the fall of the Soviet Union and massive exodus of skilled Russian labor (virtually all the doctors, scientists, engineers, etc...in the "Baltic Republics" were ethnic Russians), the aborigines have simply proven themselves incapable of upkeeping an infrastructure created by a higher people. They've speedily pawned off all of the Baltic area's industry and infrastructure, so that now the Baltics are facing an economic catastrophe. Soon the 'white injun' Balts will be tripping over the 'Russian immigrants' to get out of their ill-fated banana republics.

Unfortunately, the Soviet Union, many left a bunch of Russian-Communist, that does not correspond to reality. Somehow Russian-speaking Estonian praise the Soviet Union, but are silent about the Russia Empire. I have a great colleague, who has Estonian roots, divisions, or strife we do not have: we equally do not like red, migrants from Central Asia, China, Africa, the Caucasus, he was also a pagan, like myself.
Interesting fact: Estonia merely moved the monument, not destroying it, while in Khimki, near Moscow was demolished monument and the graves of war in the general silence, "the official patriots".

P.S. I think if you went to Estonia or Finland and told your NS "comrades" that you were a Russian (I very much doubt that you are, but let's assume, for the sake of argument, that you are a Russian of lower than average intelligence) seeking friendship, I think you would grow disenchanted with your 'great colleagues' very soon. In fact, why go that far? Read the way resident Finns, Latvians and Estonians describe Russians - "mongrel scum", "rapists, bandits, criminals", "swarthy mongoloids", and so forth in fact, there is virtually no chance that you are unfamiliar with the Baltic attitude towards Russians, not if you read the news, which leads me to wonder... well, perhaps we are going to far into personal details here; after all what one gets off on in his own private bedroom, whether lace or whips and leather is his own private affair....

What attitude do you think Russians should show towards people who, in exchange for Russians practically building their countries up from a couple of rude-mud hut villages into something approaching civilization, pouring billions of dollars worth of aid into these little banana republics, developing the industry and infrastructure from practically stone-age level, treat Russians worse than dogshit? Where else in the world does a grown man, a doctor, of all people, throw away a child's passport because the child is not fluent in the doctor's language? This kind of barbaric, "asiatic" behavior is observable only amongst Balts, and to a certain extent other Eastern European in regards to Russians. Why? Because there is something horribly wrong with the innate character and the self-identification of most Eastern European "little people" - they cannot help but notice that great peoples, like Russians and Germans, who develop empires and great cultures, leave them in the dust. They are the flotsam of history, which they are obviously well aware of on a subconscious level at least, but even a poodle wants to bark at a dog. This is what essentially all the vehement Russophobic vituperations of various Baltic, Ukrainian, and other 'Eastern European' 'nationalists come down to - they are little ankle biting dogs that have spotted a huge lion that happens to be chained with a rusty chain to a flimsy post at the moment, but still, the apparent 'incapacitation' of the lion is enough to give the little ankle biters courage to confont, in their own cowardly fashion, the lion. The nationalism of all these petty little ethnoses is based on Russofobia precisely because Russia is the only country in the entire area of any historical or geopolitical consequence, and Russians are the only ethnos in the area the can compare with their contributions to culture and science with other Europeans. It has nothing to do with the supposed Russian brutality towards said peoples - if Russians were one third the vicious mongols that Latvians and Estonians make them out to be they would long since castrated the entire male population of those countries and cannibalized their children. The fact is, Russophobia is motivated primarily by the envy and overwhelming feeling of inferiority that the impotent feels towards the virile and the talentless mediocrity feels toward the renaissance man. The fact that you would use a Belorussian's opinion about this entire matter as justification for your Russophobia simply confirms your status as an emasculated, ineffectual talentless, powerless mediocrity that needs someone to blame for his failure as a human and someone to hate in order to boost his self-concept.
Whether peoples that matter dislike Russians or not is immaterial - smart people respect Russians, and that's what's important. Western European Russophobes need to get a sense of perspective - by their standards, Russians should hate Germans with a wild and burning passion for what happened during the GPW, but this is simply not the case, because the keeping of grudges is precisely one of those things that distinguishes the weak and ineffectual from the strong and decisive.

Tartu - one of the oldest cities in the Baltic. Permanent settlement of ancient Ests at the site dates from the V century, the mound VI-VIII century. City called Tarbatu (tarvas - Est. 'Bison') - hence the later name of the Estonian Tartu, and, perhaps, Dörpt, Dorpat Dorpat and in the Russian transcription. In 1030 Grand Prince Yaroslav the Wise built a city Yuriev, called on the Christian name of the prince: "In the same year he went to Yaroslav Chud, and defeated them, and put the city Yurev - PVL. Should be noted that Chud and Estonians distantly-allied tribes, and relations in the city have always been tolerant and calm to all who live there.
In 1215 Yurev was captured by German knights, swordsmen, but in 1223 released as a result of a general uprising of the population, which supported the Russian detachment of 200 men led by Prince Vyachko. In 1224, after a long siege, was taken Yurev troops swordsmen, executed for the stubborn resistance of all prisoners, the city's defenders, Estonians and Slavs, and was called in German Dorpat. Bishop Hermann I made it the center of his tenure - the diocese of Dorpat.

Yes, I am sure it was the Germans' proverbial politeness that forced them to pay a certain amount of reparations as "bloodgeld" for ~20,000,000 Russian dead, not the fact that the Red Army razed Berlin to the ground. And of course, had the war turned out differently the Germans only plan was to liberate the Russian subhumans from the JUdeo-Bol'shevik scum that ruled them, but the inbred mongrels had the temerity to actually murder their Teutonic liberators in cold blood! What barbarity! Even so, had the war turned out differently, the Germans would have let bygones be bygones and given the untermensch ingrates their freedom and land back, and never disturbed them again.

Pulli settlement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulli_settlement), located on the right bank of the Pärnu River, is the oldest known human settlement in Estonia. It is located two kilometers from the town of Sindi, which is 14 kilometers from Pärnu. According to radiocarbon dating, Pulli was settled around 11,000 years ago, at the beginning of the 9th millennium BC. A dog tooth found at the Pulli settlement is the first evidence for the existence of the domesticated dog in the territory of Estonia.
I'm quite sure that there were settlements in Estonia even before 9000BC, as finding all the ancient human settlements is impossible.

Now demonstrate that these people called themselves "Estonians" and considered themselves to be essentially the same ethnos as the eponymous tribe inhabiting aforementioned area.
By the way, there are anatomically modern human remains from Israel that date circa ~120,000 YBP, but do you suppose perhaps that it would not be quite right to claim that they considered themselves Jewish :D?

I believe that the ethnic Russians in Estonia are not "classic ANTIFA" types, they simply have some "cultural differences" with the ethnic Estonians so it's convenient to label them as fascists even though, imo, the Estonians aren't classic fascists either.
In other words, there is the confusing situation where people who aren't really commies or anti-fascist are in a confrontation with people who aren't fascist or national socialist. Of course there is some Soviet Commie / Estonian Fascist history but this is incidental imo. The real argument is between different ethnic and cultural groups, not between ideologies.
From what I could determine in Russia itself people are generally more conservative, not very interested in liberal ideas and definitely not politically correct so I doubt many tears will be shed for the dead ANTIFA.

Finno-Ugrics and Basques are the natives of Europe. While most Basques and Finno-Ugrics were assimilated, then a few regions of Europe preserved their native culture. Like Finland and Estonia. Estonia's first inhabitants were Finnic and they still are.
Finno-Ugrics come from behind the Urals. I think it's a stretch to call them "natives of Europe" in the sense that they "originated" there. Afaik they didn't but then again, who really knows the origin of people and races.

If by "Finno-Ugrics" you mean the racially Uralic tribes of the Pit-Comb Pottery Culture who brought Finno-Ugric speech and Mongoloid admixture into Europe, and from who Eastern Finns and Estonians are, to a large degree, descended, than I hate to tell you this, but they were from beyond the Urals.

As a matter of fact I find that to be just as disturbing but the Germans and other Europeans are better breed. Why ? Because they at least recognize and try to make amends for what they have done.)
:D :D
It did not take even whole 30 years to jump from one world war into the another for Germans, mistakes corrected :rolleyes:
As for the English (Argentina, Ireland, pretty much wehenver Americans did), French, Germans again etc - the fact they do not war on their soil does not make their wars any less wrong, just worse
You, as western Europeans, have fought all together way more wars then fucking Serbs did and yet no one ever mentions that - what makes us and you different is that we fight our wars on OUR territories, and that is one thing you should be ashamed of.
As for the Russians:
WW1 - justified
WW2 - justified (still nice to see a red flag waving over Berlin, always makes me laugh on the stories of Slavic inferiority)
Afghanistan - a country that is declared war on terror by mighty USA - not many knows that USA was the one sponsored talibans in wars against Russians, so please stop crying for 9/11 YOU did that
Georgia - justified
I don't see one reason of Russia being called barbaric or whatever country
and yet, most of you will never be able to admit that, but not many of you will EVER have the cultural level above the Russian one - literature, classical music, architecture, Russia got it all on the level so high, even if they don't do anything in the next 500 years, many won't be able to catch up

The Finno-Ugrics around the Urals are mixed with Tatars, Mongols, Turkics and Siberians. Just like the Russians around them.
The main Finno-Ugric migration was from the west to the east, thus some even reached areas beyond the Urals, but were assimilated by Asians.

I am not talking about modern Khanty and Mansy in the Volga-Ural region. I am talking about various tribes of the Pit Comb Pottery culture whom in the Neolithic brought into Europe from beyond the Urals not only Finno-Ugric speech, but also the Uralic racial type, which is a stabilized mix between Cro-Magnoid europeoid elements and mongoloid South Siberian elements, with the proportion being around 50/50.
Just like the Russians around them.
Yes, the peripheral Russian groups of the Ural region (the Vyatka-Kama anthropological zone by Bunak) have more mongoloid admixture than the Russians of Europe, but this is due precisely to the greater role of the Finno-Ugric -racially Uralic - substrate in the formation of this type, not because of mixing with Tatars, Turkics or full-blooded mongoloids. It's quite simple really; just about all the mongoloid blood that Russians do have, they got from assimilating various Finno-Ugric groups. That's why mongoloid admixture among Russians is greatest among Northern Russians, who have the strongest Finnic substratum. And of course, in Eastern Estonians populations this substratum has an even greater importance.

That's false and has been disproved by modern scientists with proper resources and data.
Is it false? Disproved by which scientists? Estonian ones or ones with an interest in finding convenient proofs? What data?
For example, the Hungarian language is an Ugric language which again is a member of the Finno-Ugric language group. There are sources which state that this language originated in the Ural region and that variants of it is spoken on both sides of the Ural range.
Another example, a Russian friend of mine has a Russian Tartar friend (from Tatarstan, not the Crimea. "Crimea Tartars" are Turks, not real Tartars). My friend told me how this Tartar friend and a Finnish lady he introduced him to could communicate a little bit due to the linguistic similarities.
Seeing as Finno-Ugric languages originated in the Urals region it's only reasonable to assume that the people who speak them (Finns, Estonians, Hungarians etc) can also trace a significant part of their ancestry back to this region.
Either that's what happened or the language was imported and "adopted" by natives from the regions where it is in use today.
The implication of this is that Estonians either:
- Can trace their origins back to the Urals
OR
- Adopted somebody else's language

Hungarians have no genetic similarities with Finns and Estonians and there are very few linguistic similarities between the Hungarian language and the Finnish/Estonian languages. I couldn't understand a single word of Hungarian, if I heard it spoken. Norwegian and Persian are linguistically more similar than Hungarian and the Baltic-Finnic languages.
By the way, I've met an Udmurt lady(Udmurts live next to Tatars, but she was unmixed and fully Europid, with pale skin and red hair), she spoke in her native language and I didn't understand a word. Finno-Ugric languages having connections with Tatar languages, that's impossible even by the old theories.
If I can't communicate with a Hungarian or an Udmurt, then how could I communicate with a Tatar?

Asega, since you appear to be the resident expert on immigration and its discontents, let me ask you a hypothetical question. Let's say, sometime in the near future, the Hispanic population of California, New Mexico or Arizona manages to successfully secede from the U.S. After the secession, they will proceed quickly to severely curtail most of the civic freedoms of the white population who were too old, too poor, too ingrown, etc... and for some reason decided to or were forced to stay in this hypothetical Hispanistan. Will the white American population of that country have become immigrants, and would your opinion of and attitude towards them be as hostile as it is towards Russian "immigrants" in the Baltics? Think and answer carefully.

Asking me to prove that the discovery of the New World was an unmitigated demographic disaster for the natives is kind of like asking me to prove that the earth is round. If you can't see the self-evident, will anything I post or say change your mind? It's nearly universally accepted by historians that a very large proportion of the Indian population of Central and South America perished as a result of the Iberian incursions, mostly as a result of the contagions brought by the Europeans, but often by more direct means. As far as I am aware, the most conservative estimates states that between 1492 and 1650, ~60% of the native population died, but most estimates hover in the 80 to 95% range (either figure is a demographic catastrophe by any standard). Undoubtedly, the Spanish killed far more (since they controlled more territory), but even if 5,000,000 died as a result of Spanish activity, and only 10,000 as a result of Portuguese activity, the total number is still in the millions.
I was asking about the portuguese, who only had Brazil. And in Brazil i never read or heard about any mass extinction of amerindians.

At one point of course not. I never said they were!
But you said something on the lines of IE having come to Europe from the east, from without.
I fail to see how a Finnic north and east, and a Vasconic far west PRECLUDE the development of PIE in Central Europe.
It is common knowledge that various traits link PIE with Finnic, with one of the Caucasian families, and with Etruscan. Please, look at a map, and tell me where we should be looking for the PIE Urheimat! In Tajikistan?!? :rolleyes:
The IE family has only two main branches represented in the east, Indo-Aryan and Tocharian. All the others are in Europe, i.e. the centre of greatest diversity of IE language. The 'trunk' of the IE 'tree' is clearly to be looked for in mainland Europe.
Estonia lacked the manpower and the motivation. The Estonian
Independence war was a defensive war, not an aggressive war. Advancing into the Russian territory was a rather unpopular decision among the soldiers.

Every second and every action counts in such a dangerous situation. If the Estonian elite sanctioned the slightest 'slowing down' of the Whites, this would have helped the Bolsheviks immensely.
Things had gone too far in Russia for a return to anything like 1914, I admit - the internal contradictions were too great. But the victory of Lenin and Trotsky was hardly inevitable even at this point. Estonian actions will not have been THE straw that broke the camel's back, but are hardly insignificant, it would seem.

Russians are the most chauvunistic people and biggest bullies around. Massmurdering and deporting people from their own country is not very generous.
After the fall of the Soviet Union and massive exodus of skilled Russian labor (virtually all the doctors, scientists, engineers, etc...in the "Baltic Republics" were ethnic Russians), the aborigines have simply proven themselves incapable of upkeeping an infrastructure created by a higher people.
Hahahaa!!! Hors is back!!
Try deportation of Baltic scientists, engineers and doctors.
They've speedily pawned off all of the Baltic area's industry and infrastructure, so that now the Baltics are facing an economic catastrophe. Soon the 'white injun' Balts will be tripping over the 'Russian immigrants' to get out of their ill-fated banana republics.

I read this on the net somewhere:
Iceman was a body found frozen in the Alps in September 1991. He was taken to Innsbruck University, Forensic Medicine Institute in Innsbruck, Austria. Iceman was found on the Italian side of the Austrian-Italian border, only by a few feet. Anyway, when did Iceman live? The answer is 5,348-5,298 years ago! The DNA tests showed that the Iceman's DNA fit with DNA sequences of Europeans. Iceman's DNA matches DNA sequences of individuals living in the Oetztal Valley and Alpine regions (Handt 1994:1775).
And I suggest you look up Cheddar Man:
Cheddar Man is the name given to the remains of a human male found in Gough's Cave in Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, England. The remains date to approximately 7150 BC, and it appears that he died a violent death. It is Britain’s oldest complete human skeleton.
Mitochondrial DNA testingIn 1996, Bryan Sykes of Oxford University first sequenced the mitochondrial DNA of Cheddar Man, with DNA extracted from one of Cheddar Man's molars. Cheddar Man was determined to have belonged to Haplogroup U5a, a branch of mitochondrial haplogroup U. U5a, the specific haplogroup of Cheddar Man, is known to be the oldest truly modern human (not Neanderthal) mtDNA haplogroup in Europe.
Bryan Sykes' research into Cheddar Man was filmed as he performed it. As a means of connecting Cheddar Man to the living residents of Cheddar village, he compared mitochondrial DNA taken from twenty living residents of the village to that extracted from Cheddar Man’s molar. It produced two exact matches and one match with a single mutation. The two exact matches were schoolchildren, and their names were not released. The close match was a history teacher named Adrian Targett.[1][2]
Sykes argued that this modern connection to Cheddar Man (who died at least three thousand years before agriculture began in Britain) makes credible the theory that modern-day Britons are not all descended from Middle Eastern migratory farmers, but rather modern Britons are descended from ancient European Palaeolithic and Mesolithic hunter-gatherer tribes who much later on adopted farming.[3]
Though it's frustrating that Cheddar Man's Y haplotype seems unknown.
Are you ONLY proposing a MALE European replacement (except in Fennia)?

So Oetzi is K, one of the European haplotypes. K1ö to be specific...
The mutation could have happened in his grandmother, whose grandchildren all perished or were all men, who knows? Do we have any data on the age of K1ö in Oetzi, or its cladistic relation to other types of K?
And it seems we'll never know his Y chrom, given the propensity for nuclear DNA to collapse after so long. So we have half of the information. Too little to get too excited about. :shrug: And maybe even K1ö IS out there somewhere - not every European has been tested yet!
Still no link with the Finns. Even Jews have K.
I know the cheddar man. He carried MtDNA that today is most commonly found among Finns and Saamis.
U5a? U is found in Berbers, even. It predates the Finnic languages, certainly.
Wiki has this:
Haplogroup U5 and its subclades U5a and U5b form the highest population concentrations in the far north, in Sami, Finns, and Estonians, but it is spread widely at lower levels throughout Europe. This distribution, and the age of the haplogroup, indicate individuals from this haplogroup were part of the initial expansion tracking the retreat of ice sheets from Europe ~10kya.
But be carefull, Finns:
Mitochondrial haplogroup U5a has also been associated with HIV infected individuals displaying accelerated progression to AIDS and death.[13]
:eek:
By the way, as you can see, I'm no expert in this. I'd like to see conflicting data if you have it.
