Quite simple -- those jokes are coined after official
government statements.

Nope. They really have built the largest plants, power
stations and space stations.

Indeed? How about "the world largest shopping mall" recently
opened in MN? The Washington Post (not the worst newspaper,
for sure) devoted a big article to this artifact nearly
as kafkaese and antihuman as the world largest chemical plant.

Pessimist is a well-informed optimist. The higer degree of
paranoia is probably caused by the typical "today's bad,
tomorrow will be worse" popular Soviet paranoidal idea
causing the paranoics to emigrate without any reasoning.
You simply behold the specific "selection" of ex-Soviet
citizens. Mind you, Russians are quite capable of taking
risks and defying fear.

It's about the system "awarding" such citizens with permissions
to travel abroad. The Soviet people you could met in US before
perestroyka mostly were either party/comsomol/establishment
officials or their children (they really were dumb -- any
human capable of mental activity simply could not survive in
those institutions -- he would be "eaten" by colleagues) or
distinguished physical labour workers (and communist/komsomol
activist as well) of no greater mental abilities. Mind you,
the normal people who never had a chance to travel abroad
were quite aware of supermarkets and all that stuff. My first
impression of the West was the lack of "strong" impression.

My apologies in asking for the translation of "ototsikl".  The
answer was of course (m)ototsikl.  The book I was reading had a
typing mistake in it and I thought it was some kind of sentence
structure I had not seen before.   .....ezdit' nam ototsikle.
Should have been ezdit' na mototsikle.  

However, thanks for the responses and help.

I interpret "serial" as cereal, right? However i found that
bilinguality is quite infectuous -- i often mix words myself
talking to other bilingual persons not because i can't express
in a single language but rather to be more precise and brief.
After all the closest Russian word "ovsyanka" is not exactly
the same thing as cereal. As for Russian equivalent for
"food preservative" -- i can't make up something shorther than
three words with the same meaning.

Now, test for the "English Only" wannabees -- how would you
translate "zhilploshyad'" to English?

          I recently returned from a month's tour and work in Moscow
          and St. Petersburg.  As you might expect, I returned with a
          load of letters, etc. to mail in the USA.  One of those
          letters was sent to a man in Massachusetts from his family
          in Moscow.  Most of the contents of that letter never
          arrived (thanks to automated processing) and he is quite
          distraught.

          Question:  Do you know of anyone who will be travelling from
          Moscow to the USA in the near future who could act as
          courier for another letter?  I'm sure it would only be a
          small inconvenience to meet the writer of the letter along
          some metro line.

I don't think there is any real knowledge of this sort outside sport.
I don't even think anybody (accept real racists) need it.
However many times in different arguments I heard (and read) people
base their statements on the axiom of everybody's equality in
everything. I wouldn't give a damn, but IMHO black racists (and some
of their white supporters) use it as a weapon, which I find slightly
irritating. 


>        one's race is irrelevant -> all races are equal

When it become irrelevant - yes. In practice - hardly. Think, for
instance, about affirmative actions. Race is so irrelevant in this
country that I have to report it in nearly every form I fill. Just
like our famous "pyaty punkt". More than that, I am supposed to call
myself by this moronic word "caucasian", which is only designed to
conceal the fact that white is white. Maybe this is another example of
knee-jerk? What do you think, Garik?

I admit that I read Proskurin - "The Fate" and "Name of yours" (at least
part of them but looked through all - I was 12 years young and Proskurin books 
at that time belonged to selected set of 
officialy recognized and freely available erotic literature - and I don't
mean pseudoerotic where Motherhood and Party substituted lovely pats.
Illustrations in the gift edition distributed for delegats of
25 party congress were also very impressive - especially sensual naked girl
in first pages of Name of Yours - probably because that was only imaginable 
method to make delegats to look at other pictures) 

So I will argue - because imho you may find any kind of dependency
in Proskurin books - man on woman, woman on man, man on Party, naked women 
on grass, dog on dog food, etc.
So pls elaborate, whad'da u mean?

About freedom of speech and "Cop Killer":

Freedom of speech is not "just a piece of paper" in America, it is
an eternal debate on the meaning of that phrase and whether
everything, no matter how hurtful of repellent, should be displayed
to the public.

There was enormous debate over the song and in fact the move to
suppress it generated dynamics such that it gained a far wider
audience than it ever would have.

There was no secret, silent, official suppression of this song.
The entire affair was played out in gory detail in every piece
of news media in the country. Everyone had a different opinion.

Finally, as I remember, Ice-T himself said he wasn't so proud of
the song and wishjed people would concentrate on his new
musical style rather than these rather trivial words, lacking
any real poetic sense or complicated meaning.

"Freedom" is a complicated idea that has strong dynamics. 
In America it is far from being "just a sheet of paper."

It is our national obsession.

First of all, looking for poetic beauty in a 'departure announcement'
is decidedly a sign of lunacy; basing one's judgement of another's 
linguistic performance or ability on a 'departure announcement' is 
another sign of lunacy. Secondly, if you have such brilliant command
