A message from a Russian tired of being used.
Misho
this is the first article of this paper where I'm not the author of the text. Instead this article is written by someone who loves his country and takes a big risk by speaking up against this war. The words comes from a Russian, and not any Russian:
I'll give you the Ataman of the migthy Cossacks, I'll give you the words of no one less than MoredanKantose.

You are reading the words of an e-citizen who gave his heart to the great country of eRussia.
I have seen some eRussians mocking on you since the war started, full of egomaniac pride about eRussia, and I want to show you that not all eRussians, not even all the patriotic and fighting eRussians, have the same opinion about this war and its consequences. I am the Commander of the Foreign Legion, comprising about a 30% of the eRussian Army and its 2nd most important elite corps. But I write this as Ataman (President) of The Cossacks, a patriotic party you can know better simply looking at the eRep wiki.
We disagree with the course of this war.
eRussia is being used. And some of us realize this, and don’t like it.
I am sorry for Sarah Palin
🙂but I cannot regret the conquest of Alaska. It was Russian in RL, it was bought by the USA in the peak of power of the imperialism and a moment of weakness of Russia. It can serve as a security for eRussia and it is a reasonable price for the eUSA to pay for helping to wipe out our country as they did – those of you who remember history know that this is true, but I can quote the Government of the eUSA if you need. The eUSA did help eRomania to destroy completely eRussia, and I think that Alaska is a reasonable price for this.
But… trying to destroy the whole eUSA? Entering in Manitoba, Washington, Idaho? Attacking Canada? Are we doing this by ourselves, or are we puppets of PEACE? Considering that the revenge of the brave American people, if it comes, will be against eRussia, and considering that our own Motherland is occupied still by PEACE… considering that we know how it feels to be occupied and destroyed (the eUSA and eRomania made us learn this bitter lesson) and we do not wish this to anybody else… I do not think that we are doing the right thing.
A war? Ok. Some brave battles and then shaking hands and returning each other’s Motherland? It is reasonable. War can be fun, after all, in this eWorld. But… destroying the efforts of thousands of players, important hospitals and defense systems, breaking their hearts? For… what?
And this, of course, supposing that we win! FORTIS and EDEN are strong alliances, with brave people. We could lose. And the first ones to pay the price would be eRussia.
I fight in Idaho and I ask myself what the hell I am doing here. For sure not defending the best interests of eRussia, nor defending justice or a good cause. I am doing it because it is my duty. As a soldier and Commander, I will do my duty the best I can, respecting my enemy but not underestimating him, nor mocking at him, nor trying to humiliate him.
As Ataman, I can ad
😛This is wrong. Help us to stop it.
What can you do? You can speak with your Government. The eUSA should re-open the embassy of eRussia. The other Governments should write public declarations offering eRussia the best possible deal. And we will, in eRussia, try to convince our Government to rethink their position and at the very least demand a real compensation from eHungary and eIndonesia… or let their Goverments “show their real colors”.
Because we love our Motherland, and we understand that you all love yours.
Best regards.

That was really nice ;'o
I vote for free Russia! Russia without strings attached to it. Russia that has not been cut and shared between it's allies. We need righteousness!
just 2 thing:
"And all this requires an English-speaking, patriotic party."
"We have nothing against foreigners, most of us are foreigners ourselves"
from Cossacks manifesto... you can guess how much influence they have in Russia...
but still, better then most PEACE/Fortis/Eden propaganda.. gj to the author of the original text and to the publisher.
The majority of Russians know who their allies are, and it isn't you snakes. Don't try to act like their friends after you repeatedly conquered and tried to conquer them.
RUSSIAMAXX/AMERIMAXXX
Misho soup.. 😛
It's just my opinion, but:
If the USA attacks Russia, it will try to get your original regions, so they activate you MPPs, and you can call the whole PEACE, so it will be PEACE vs. USA. If you occupied Washington, I think, you can defend your homeland with the help of PEACE.
About you PEACE-occupied regions:
As I know, Hungary is going to give you back the Urals.
With allies like PEACE, who needs enemies?
voted!
Peace with Russia instead of PEACE with Russia. It must be one or the other.
Peace > PEACE.
Fortis propaganda MEGA FAIL!
Hail Russia!
Hail Peace!
great day for FORTIS/EDEN . Romania started the ofensive in east conqering Podolia in a epic battle with more then 1 milion damage for both sides. Romania against all PEACE. Great battle!
Hungary is bussy now, you americans take care of Indonesia.
Слава Американским освободителям!
The fact is, Russia is doing the heavy lifting and incurring the greatest risk in the war in North America.
True, the United States have not always been kind to Russia-- the battle in FER was fiercely debated in the US.
But meanwhile, PEACE holds Russia's highest resource territories.
When will PEACE be so kind as to return them?
In the meantime, Russia chases around the US military in barren western states, trying to nail us down.
For what?
We don't have any high-iron regions. Russia had high-iron regions, before PEACE occupied them.
The popular will of the American people is not anti-Russian.
It is anti-PEACE.
It is against the puppet-masters of PEACE, Indonesia and Hungary.
I don't expect Russia to change policy tomorrow.
But I think it's time for Russia to think hard about the next few months, and what they've gained and lost by the incursion into North America.

"But… destroying the efforts of thousands of players, important hospitals and defense systems, breaking their hearts? For… what?
"
For eRussia to have 4000 new players in a week. Not enough? Than you are greedy. 😉
For almost all of our economies (whole world) to prosper and sell those accumulated stocks of products.
For the WHOLE NEW WOELD to have some fun!
For the eUSA Q5 hospital and defense companies to sell their products once again (eUSA has ~10.000G per month income, they can easily buy what has been destroyed (otherwise they tank their players to attack eRussia and PEACE once again)
And many many more reasons. You are fairly new to the game, you will see my friend 🙂

@Ludako021 If you've got all those players why aren't you winning? Ask yourself that question.
The new guys will need time to level up and as they are not heavily taxed to death like the eAmericans to pay for the 'Elite' to tank and rack up a little bit more experience - They'll get there faster.
It also looks like (post-war) eRussia will be geting a high Iron region via region swapping.
Wonderful, Misho. You cannot pull this trick on every country on this planet.
Our stupid eGerman government fell for your trick when your government promised us peace and invited us into your alliance. Why did you invite us? Oh, yes, because you intended to drive us away from PEACE and afterwards annihilate us completely!
Your former president confirmed that this was the plan from the beginning: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/back-in-black--828681/1/20" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/back[..]/1/20
I think Russia is awesome, but as long as they are puppets of PEACE, we have to fight them and we will never be discouraged. But it would be better if we two neighbors could lay down our weapons. We would even help Russia regain its conquered territories from Hungary and Indo. It is disgusting to watch the once proud Russian people having their high iron robbed from them, and then to add insult to injury, the thieves order the Russians about on the battlefield.
@Wolf Girl:
winning isn't easy and it does not come overnight. 😉 we are not LOSING either. It is people in eUSA with low skills that now don't have jobs or money. Also, count your hospitals. We havent lost any, and you?
"It is disgusting to watch the once proud Russian people having their high iron robbed from them,"
WTF? Romania was first to rob them and you helped them do it! ROFL And you have a nerve to say such a thing? PEACE liberated WSR and ESR from Atlantis and kept it because eRussia had ~1000 people at that time.
"the thieves order the Russians about on the battlefield."
Order them? How about NOT?! eRussia loves you soo much that in an instant after eUSA was attacked 1000 people joined the game. 😛
Russia dont pay a cent for this war ( Peace pays the bills for battle opening ). They risk what? They been conquered totaly 2 times by Atlantis. They been attacked more than that. So what worse could come for them from you?
What they Gained?
First Peace liberated 8 regions of Russia, and are negotiating to give back the remaining 3. ( Australia is got back one region and S.A is going to have one back. And not becouse Peace have to give it back. Its made in a deal between the countries )
This war brought 4000 Russian to the game ( before the war only 4000 Russian were and know over 8500 ). Dont say its not Russias war either 🙂.
Whit this war Russian babys can get wellnes, gain experiance and the Russian Army is getting stronger. And they dont need to spend a penny on it.
Swedish Propaganda = Fail
At least PEACE propaganda has funny pics, its not like anybody takes either sides propaganda too seriously.
Yep, Swedes are really boring.
@All: I will not, for reasons of time, read or answer the comments posted here. But I can answer any question you write me or write in the Cossacks forums.
But don't misunderstand me: I wrote what I wrote for love to eRussia, and not any other reason. I am not anti-PEACE. Nor am I pro-PEACE. I am pro-eRussia, and that means to recover our Motherland.
Peacefully if we can.
Violently if there is no other way.
And yes, I dislike this war, but I will fight and obey orders because this is my duty. So... see you, honorable warriors of the other side. Until reason reigns in the world and this war is stopped... see you in the battlefield, and may the best win.

NB: It's the personal opinion of Moredan. Not the official position of eRussia.
@Andcetera: It is the official position of The Cossacks 🙂
hmmm... OK, it's the position of Cossacks, not the position of Russia.
@Andcetera: Yes, this is true, Cossack.
wonderful message keep pushing the government!
Why won't Indo and Hungary give back Russia's regions? Because they know that without them there economies will slump. america would gladly fight INdo and Hungary out of those regions though...
for crying out loud, just stop fighting already! ok, eRussia should have alaska. just leave it at that! go back home and live your lives as RUSSIANS, not SOLDIERS! my god, colorado, idaho, washington, nevada, montana, oregon and wyoming?!?! JUST STOP!!!
JeepAmerica: The way you helped Romania takew them? 🙂
Of corse you say that know that your ass is being kicked. When you had the chance you choose the oppresors and we fought for Russia. Why would Russia betray us for those who helped Romania conquere them.
Indonesia have other high teritories. So they wont fall becouse of that. For Hungary its much harder but we working on the Solution beleive it 🙂.
I'm grateful to see that some Russians are coming together and realizing they're being used. PEACE has done nothing but use you in the name of friendship. If you so much as ask, the first thing they say is, "we liberated you!". That is not fair. What gives them the right to divide a nation that isn't theirs? Stand strong Russia! I for one am willing to fight for a Russia free from PEACE. We've had our differences and there is still some things that need to be sorted, but I believe expelling the PEACE monster from your lands is the best place to start!
FREEDOMAXX!
I deeply respect you. That is how wars are to be fought. Not with all the slander and humiliating words, but with respect for the enemy soldiers on the other side.
best possible deal for what?
lol... peace monster? free from peace?

lol chose one picture, see it, and kick Atlantis!!!!
Americans are just scared of this PEACE 'monster', that can eat them all alive. I understand them. But c'est la vie.
You do your duty now, and I'll do my duty when we retaliate. It IS coming.
Free Russia!
Well of course you are being used. eRussia's best region is in control of eIndonesia. The highest resources in the world are located there.
Western Siberia (Indonesia)
pop: 1444
Hospital: Q5
Defense: Q5
Resources:
Oil: high
iron: high
woo😛 high
# of companies: 504
Yes, I think Indonesia is looking to rid themselves of this region
Its obvious that they are not going to give it back. For all those people who still cling to the tiny hope of that PEACE will get tired of the richest field of natural resources in the world, Just stop saying biased opinions, and look at the world from no ones views, just statistics. Russia is currently fighting more then four times more in this war then Hungry or Indonesia. What does Russia gain from this war? At best, a quick population boom that, lets face it people, will last about a month until (if USA gets conquered)all the RWs start finally winning, in which Russia will be put into sever lack of food, which will cause it's people to all either buy off foreign market, or leave. Also due to the fact that Russia's main oil field is located in Annexed west Siberia, most people wont be able to afford a moving ticket, causing mass death. At worst, Russia takes full blame of the war (if Russia is pushed out of USA) and will probably be the first if not last nation to actually feel retribution for the war, and peace will drop all connections with Russia, and most likely will dodge a bullet by sacrificing Russia.
well that was alot! my fingers hurt, and im tired, so dont expect a response. G'night
I know I'm just a noob who has been in the New World just for three days, and on top of that, I'm a Spaniard. But I got my two pennies to drop here, though I actually don't give a crap about what's happening -not even for Spain-, as I've spend too little time here to make my own opinion.
I've been reading everything I could get my hands on about this world war: casus belli's, motives, provocations, etc, etc... and as far as I know, and I realise that it isn't too much, I just can extract one conclusion: eRussia, right now you just are a puppet government of eHungary and eIndonesia.
And I really think is sad, knowing the fight you given USA and what now are NATO countries in real life during almost the whole 20th century in RL. Yeah, yeah, I know that eRepublik is no RL, but, consider a couple of things, in RL you have a hell of a lot of population. I think it's a matter of time until that's reflected here. And the newbies that will come as i came here will say something like... "Where is the pride of Russia? How come we are just puppets of some little countries lost wherever?"
Come on, Russia's pride it's bigger than that. Convince your peers ¿of*? that. I'm not saying that you should give up of your invasionj of the USA, just fight for yourselves and because you want that, not for another country.
*PS: I'm sorry for my broken English. I tried to do my best. Please, please, please, I beg you to correct my grammar/ortography fauls in your posts, it's the only way I'll learn a perfect English. 🙂
PEACE only mentions playing nice with Russia, like giving back its regions, when something like this comes up. They're scared to lose a front.
Bla bla bla....
"eRussia is being used" sure... you are puppets and now what ? You have the feeling of having done a wrong.
