We have a gin-u-wine Russkie troll in Cafe Society arguing about Movies and Art.

https ://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-opinion-on-darling-lili-an-old-american-movie/976403

> I’m a fan of Julie Andrews, just because I was extremely impressed with “The Sound of Music” and “Mary Poppins”. You know, there’re loads of critics of this film, and the estimations in IMDB aren’t very high. However, it’s obvious that the most of old movies are much better than that of our era, because the actors weren’t thought to be a set of wage-slaves. P. S. It would appear that my tastes are just conservative, but, believe you me, I really regret that modern films don’t surpass the higher…

What? You mean classics of Soviet cinema aren’t common knowledge around the world and wasn’t the main competition for Hollywood back in the day?

Pshaw

I’m going to break the link to remove this thread from his OP.

The Mods are aware of this new poster and we’re observing for now.  
It is already in the Modloop.

I feel like he’s gonna jump into Ukraine threads soon.

At least we’re being trolled about something non political and kind of fun to argue about. Someone coming in here and overemphasizing the importance of something minor is the Dope we came to know and love.

If it is the News thread, that I will put a stop to quickly. I don’t think he will though.

He’s really right out of some 60’s Soviet stereotype, or whatever Ensign Chekov’s hilarious claims were based on. “Yes, the wheel was inwented by a famous Russian scientist” type of thing.

That thread is really going off the rails – it’s all about the new poster insulting non-Russians for being under-educated boobs and non-Russians making fun of him. I’m not sure what the point of keeping that thread open at this point is – it’s going to end up with warnings all around.

No it is not. Unless someone is dumb.

It will probably end up with some modnotes though.

You would know better, despite your obvious lack of a fine Soviet education.

Tis true, I do I lack a fine Soviet education. In fact I was a Cold War Warrior technically. For the small value of Warrior that a Navy Electrician could be.

So I probably shouldn’t drop некультурный варвар into the conversation? 😛

It means “uncultured barbarian.”

Please don’t. Two things wrong with that. The insult and the Russian.

The important thing, is you can **think it.**

If I were the type to troll in non-Pit threads, I’d probably find a clip of that pinnacle of American cinema “Firefox”, particularly Clint Eastwood saying “Gotta think in Russian”

Ha! At least **I** worked on direction-finding gear. With the collapse of the USSR, the sites are all closed down now. I felt sad.

Yes, the famous Russian inventor Regus Patoff.

I just read through that thread - it’s _hilarious_. It reads like Sascha Baron Cohen doing research for a _Borat_ sequel.

It really does!

He’s calling people stupid in that thread, but I don’t think anyone is taking him seriously enough to report it.

I think he called someone a liar too. He’s an amusing one, I have to say. He’s a sock of someone though. I’d bet my hat on that.

And I really like my hats.
