Barack Patriots

This year, in addition to St. George ribbons, aggressive patriotic stickers, mainly anti -American orientation, appeared on the cars of Russians. We asked their owners, why they love Russia and hate the West

Online stores where you can order stickers for a car offer a huge list of patriotic stickers. Stickers of various contents are sold here: from the innocent “I am proud of my country” or “thank you grandfather for the victory” to aggressive “we can repeat 1945” (with the symbolic image of the USSR and Russia, which, respectively, by Germany and the USA), “on Berlin!”, “Obama ChMO”, “Obama Monkey”, “I am against the same shit,“ I will buy the skin of the world ”,“ I will buy the skin of the skin. Obama is expensive ”and so on.

“Every day, one of the clients orders stickers on the topic of Putin, Russia and against America. In general, there are many patriots in our country, ”says Maria Kondratyeva, manager of the Strau Stickers store. According to her, people themselves come up with texts, and the company only embodies ideas. Patriots from different Russian cities talked about their love for their homeland and attitude to the political situation.

I ordered the Obama Schmo at the advertising agency after watching the video of the same name Mikhail Zadornov about the American president. For me, this inscription means that the US president is a bad person. I do not like his policy against Russia, I do not like his double standards policy. Events are interpreted as it is profitable from the point of view of national interests. All these color revolutions, events in Ukraine, in Syria, - the Americans would not have allowed this. I believe that each state should have its own opinion, and now everyone acts as the White House will tell them. Many countries are now silent and do not interfere, but patience is not limitless. Patriotism is a special feeling for me when you love the country, regardless of whether it is bad or good Twisting this quote by Russia and China - well done, confront general insanity. In general, I always did not really like the West and America, I am a patriot of my country. Patriotism is a special feeling for me when you love the country, regardless of whether it is bad or good. I just express my attitude to the Politics of the White House. People on the roads always react positively to my sticker: hands press, very often take pictures.

Who will climb on us - we’ll be bent and we’ll eat Twisting this quote for patriotism for me implies pride in the achievements and culture of my homeland, the desire to maintain its cultural characteristics. Images on the sticker “We can repeat” understand this: who will climb on us - we’ll bite and eat it. Actually, I am for the world, but, if necessary, I can fight for Russia so that the collapse of the states will finally come. Everyone likes my sticker, because everyone also wants to fuck America.

I ask you to immediately notice that my car is Canadian, not American, as many people think. Smo, in my opinion, is a person who is morally pissed, stupidly speaking into the camera that they ask him to say. They put them to say - he will speak, put them to eavesdrop, - he listens, put them to sniff - he sniffs. 70 percent pass by passing and baking, show the thumb - like respect. The remaining 30% turn away. Our president is the leader, the rest - X ** knows who. Our president is the leader, the rest - x ** knows who I believe this quote to our president, I am glad that he squeezed Crimea. I have been living in Crimea for the past six months, but I will not change my Petersburg residence permit just because my president has the same thing in the passport as I have: "The place of birth is the city of Leningrad."

In connection with the events in Ukraine, we had a rally in support of Putin. My friends and I decided to distinguish ourselves and made such stickers. The point is to show that Russia has never opposed Ukraine. We are connected by vivid memories of the past, despite the present. And Obama is a person who is ready to destroy everything in order to achieve his goal. If you choose between Putin and Obama, then the choice is again in favor of Putin. Unlike Obama's empty promises in Russia, at least something is being done.

I have two stickers. “Thanks to Grandfather for the Victory” decided to stick, because he was grateful to his grandfathers who fought in the Second World War, and grandfather and grandmother, who worked in the rear. I remember their stories how hard it was to survive. "Barak MMOMO" shows my attitude to America. But, despite my attitude to the States, I would not want a war with them. It will lead to the destruction of the world. Putin is the only president worthy of such a powerful country as Russia. I bring up my children like this: they already know our president, they listen to the anthem. I myself serve the state, observe civil and legal norms. There will be a need, I myself will come to the military registration and enlistment office and will defend my country. This is patriotism for me. I always go to the polls, express my civic position, if necessary. They say now that there is little freedom in Russia. This is wrong. The opposition has enough opportunities to express their position. The point is not that they are not allowed to express themselves, but that the country's population does not want to listen to them. The people are not interested in the opinion of Makarevich, Akhedzhakova. And all the exclamations of our chief opposition of Navalny look something like this: “Look, and his clock is more expensive than mine, and they gave him a cool yacht.” American opposition are also outraged by the state of affairs in the country, but they have no democracy there. There it is less than anywhere. Democracy in the United States only on posters of campaigning.

I decided to stick this sticker, because I think the guys who have repelled the airport in Donetsk are real heroes. Thus, I express my deep respect for them. Everyone who saw the sticker usually reacts positively, but only 20-25% understand who the cyborgs are generally, and who defeated them. Each nation is worthy of its ruler. I don’t remember exactly whose phrase this is, but it clearly characterizes the modern political situation. The only thing is that we met all these problems (Crimea, Novorossiya, Syria) not with such an economy as we would like. But on the other hand, I personally do not give a damn about sanctions, like most in my environment. Do you know why? Because I do not rest in Europe, I didn’t eat Parmesan, and I have a prior, I have a Samsung phone, even comables for parachute jumping and helmets in Belarus are made, and very good. But I had pride in our president. And do not think that I am a victim of “Russian propaganda”: ​​every day I am happy to read Ukrainian news resources. 90% of the information there is real nonsense, I'm even starting to laugh.

I saw this sticker in the auto parts store. Now, after all, everyone is talking about Obama. I liked this phrase. And after all, there is a certain meaning in it. Obama is bad about other countries. In Syria, for example, people need help, and the Americans firing at them. Here is Putin - well done: he does not climb forward the dad in the bee. He is trying to restrain himself so as not to get involved in the war with Ukraine, and Obama does everything so that Putin gets involved in the war.
