Enema (клизма) gets some golden treatment in Russia. Go figure!

“When I have seen yours profile I didnt have words. I thought that there is not such man in the world. Now I sit and think about that to write you. I dont know what to tell. If you wish to see my photos, then I can send it to you. I would like to learn you better because you have liked me. If you have some questions then you can write to me on “XXXX” at “yahoo” dot c o m. I with pleasure will answer you. To my mind you receive a lot of letters from girls like me, but I ask you to pay attention to my letter and I hope that tomorrow I shall receive your message. If I am not interesting to you that tell it to me. I will be upset, but I shall not write you more and I hope that you will find happiness.

Will you write me? Really?

I wait ……

Dreaming about such as U.”

Any wide-eyed Westerner would become immediately giddy after receiving such a message but not me. As a shrewd Sovok, I immediately smelled something rotten. First of all, this lovebird claimed to be from North Dakota and her profile stated “I love the clean air, beautiful landscapes, and the down to earth people but the rainy winters are pretty brutal.” Wait a minute. North Dakota has rainy winters? Tell me more! After a quick search on Google, I found out that this sentence was lifted, as was expected, from some other lonesome person’s profile in Kentucky. Besides, the grammar of the letter left no doubt that I was dealing with some Slav trying to dupe some naive Westerner into helping out with some “medical expenses for a sickly grandma” or some other similar nonsense. In fact, chances are that the email was written by some mustachioed man from Kazan by the name Igor (see picture on the right).

I was planning on developing this romance into a full-blown story for “Sovok of the Week”, but I made a huge and unforgivable mistake. After making some small talk in my reply, I signed it with my real name. Now, imagine Igor receiving a reply from a guy with a Russian name. The jig was up and he simply could not win against another Slav.

I think I was right. I never heard from the spell-bound beauty again.

So, here we go. The West screws the East. The East tries to screw the West. The East realizes that it can’t screw its own. History of the last 1000 years in a nutshell.

As Democrats are giddy from uncontainable joy over Bardak Obama’s victory, let me be the first to congratulate Senator McCain on becoming President! I know, it’s a little early, but still. America is not a country of hipsters and soy chai drinkers, even if it appears to be the case if you ever went to an Obama rally. Nor do college students vote, even if they tell you they do-joining an Obama Facebook group maybe cool and could raise one’s status among peers but it does not put a president into the White House. I am afraid we will have 2004 all over again.

All IMHO, of course.

Support our site by buying a T-shirt from "Sovok of the Week" store. Every sale helps us run this site!

And DJ VadimJ was pedaling among those hipsters, muttering some obscenities in Russian, especially when it was time to climb some really steep San Diego hills on a rusty bike. What is the world coming to? Maybe I am finally getting it what it means to be an American-to be free, unhindered by tradition, and sporty. Or not.

Yes, it really is true-”Sovok of the Week” is five years old! Let’s open champagne and bust out caviar! If you somehow found this message, why not write a word or two in the comments, just for the hell of it?

Little do the self-righteous opulent Ann Arborites realize that in doing so they resurrect a good old Soviet habit of going to a store with your own bag (pictured to the right) in hopes that perhaps (in Russian, “avos’”; “avos’ka” is also referred to in the Western media as a “perhaps-bag”) the authorities would dispense some rarely available goods like Romanian shoes or butter.

Bravo, Ann Arbor! Way to soften the heart of a disenfranchised nostalgic Sovok !

Not to make little of the tragedy, but the name of the slain woman is rather unfortunate to a Russian ear …
