"A television series about Russia's fictional takeover of Norway's abundant oil and gas resources has vexed Moscow, which says it has had enough of being portrayed as an aggressor. The 10-episode series "Okkupert" ("Occupied"), which is to air in Norway starting next month, has ruffled Russian diplomats' feathers amid already existing tensions between Russia and the West over the conflict in Ukraine." link |

Boo-Hoo. Poor Russia, how can they continue to annex sovereign nations if the West makes fun of them! |

Well, when you act aggressively, e.g. invading and occupying lands that aren't yours, providing military support for guerrilla groups to take over other areas, fly jets with transponders off at supersonic speeds into other people's airspace and around them, intrude into other people's coastal waters with your naval vessels, threaten to nuke others, etc., etc., don't be surprised that they don't like it, and call you and your nation an aggressor. What's the per capita consumption level of vodka in Russia? |

What's the per capita consumption level of vodka in Russia? About 2.5 gallons per year. |

Also adult Russian males have one of the highest mortality rates in the world due to excessive alcoholism and depression. |

A war with NATO would lock them in as #1. Gotta be the best at something. |

Apparently "Red Heat" was quite popular in Soviet times, despite being so cheesy. |

- actually this film is not making fun of Russian agressors, it is more concentrated on human relations of occupied Norwegians. - you'll be surprised, but Russians are not top-drinking nation . It is not even in the first three (ok, it is 4th in list ;)) link Byelorussia has cheap vodka, while in Modldova almost evrybody is making wine, still it seems that life in one of the Baltic tigers (Lithuania) is more bleak than in Russia (and the prices are higher, too). Finns are not that different from us, but Norwegians are. Since prices and climate is about the same, something is strange here. Speaking of suicide rate, Russia is on 15th place, while a.m. Lithuania is 5th…. link |
