Två nationer som i begynnelsen(vikingatiden) var väldigt lika, är idag väldigt olika. Ryssland invaderades av öst och Sverige av väst. Tillsammans kan de återigen nå upp till forntida glans...
Democracy is consumption. Politicians of today are not the same as of tomorrow, we choose apple instead of pear, blue instead of pink.
Russia = R Sweden = S
A quick look:
R: Пробка – many years under strict control by leaders(tsarism, communism…). Isolated from “the world” - restrictions. Now the people wants to control their own life, homes are overfilled with things, everybody wants to drive fast(=Пробка). Vladimir Putin “tries” to be reelected by promising IPad and strippers…
“Единая Россия”- its about uniting Russia, but first and foremost to win. the ones who doesn’t contribute to the victory, receive the same amount of respect as the overfilled garbage bags…
S: A big country with a small population. Distance- freedom. You are allowed to write and think whatever you want, but only opinions liked by the big crowd will be published- capitalism. Fredrik Reinfeldt ”tries” to be reelected by promising an open and liberal multicultural Sweden. Everybody are welcome to join the team! Its about having fun, victory is not that important.
”Alliansen”- its about working as a team. There is no I in TEAM. The talented ones are sitting and the bench, watching the TEAM playing.
National security:
R: Bombs in Moscow – strike back and eliminate every treat against the motherland.
S: Bombs in Stockholm – take care of the criminals, give them love. Blame yourself for not been taking care of these people(the criminals).
Education:
R: Its about getting a good education, about красный диплом.
S: Its about manage to work as a member in “the group”, about being social and respectful.
Vodka:
R: Taste very good. High quality. Its about making a good vodka.
S: Taste very bad. Bad quality. Its about making a good brand.
Girls:
R: be a woman!
S: be a man!
The past:
R: Be proud. Care about the old ones, be thankful!
S: Feel ashamed. Care about the future, forget about the past!
Consumption:
R: consume products, but be careful to consume political ideas(the country might break apart).
S: consume political ideas, but be careful to consume products(mother earth might break apart).
In Sweden we have a word “Lagom”. It means “something between”..not too much, not too less…
Lagom was “founded” in the “good old days”, by the vikings. There has been Vikings in Russia aswell. In the Киевская Русь. The Киевская Русь, with its capital Великий Новгород was a great and successful nation, and so was Sweden at that time…the time of the “Lagom”.
But one day…The east(Mongols) invaded Киевская Русь and the west(Americans) “invaded” Sweden.
Nowadays Russia and Sweden are 2 different things. But I think that if you mix those things up, then you will have a winning team(lagom), and that’s why I(Сын Рюрика) am trying to put these countries together…
