What the @#%&? Two Estonian farms establish 'Soviet republic,' seek recognition. Hahaha, oh yeah, sure...

Ooookay, better get used to it:
my prediction is that in the near future, you'll see
EVEN MORE of this kind of
BULLSHIT news from the Russian media.

Belonging into the tabloid world of
HALF-truths,
straight-out LIES and
sheer MANIPULATION,
the real purpose of this kind of stuff is to spin
the Russian commu-hawkish concept that
all ex-(actually, forcedly-)Soviet and eastern bloc countries are
FULL of people who are SO unhappy
with the developments there in the past two decades
and just DESPERATELY need Russia's
(of course, MILITARY) help
to return back to the Great Soviet Motherland...

Two Estonian farms establish 'Soviet republic,' seek recognition

16:26 03/ 09/ 2008



ST. PETERSBURG, September 3 (RIA Novosti) - Two farms in north-east Estonia have joined forces to declare an independent "Soviet republic" and intend to seek Russia's recognition, a Russian communist organization said on Wednesday.

"We no longer want to live in bourgeois Estonia, where nobody cares about the common people...with raging unemployment and corruption, and where everything depends on NATO and the Americans," Russian communists from St Petersburg, who are assisting the 'republic,' quoted its founder, Andres Tamm, as saying.

Residents and founders of the 'Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic' have already formed a national 'Soviet government,' a police force, and have begun demarcating the state's borders.

Meanwhile, residents of the republic claim that the "bourgeois" Estonian government has sent a "squad of relatives of Estonian Nazi SS veterans" to regain control over the breakaway territory.

The republic is currently drafting a treaty of friendship with Russia to be submitted to the Russian president in the next few days.

Estonia is a former Soviet republic and a current member of both NATO and the EU.

RUSSIAN NEWS AND INFORMATION AGENCY NOVOSTI



AND THE WEST, MILD AND MEEK- SLEEPS...

Update:

This story started from the website of the Communist party of Russia's Leningrad region.

Photos there are actually from an authentic Estonian "retro Soviet-style" party.

Used names- Andres Tamm and Aine Saar- are generic Estonian names, along the lines of John Smith from England.

Officials from the east Estonian districts where the farms are supposed to be located confirmed that a person carrying the name Aine Saar is really registered in the area, but she is already over 80 years old.

Yet, large Russian news agencies are trying to sell this story as completely substantial.

WHAT WILL YOU BELIEVE?
