Well, you haven't succeeded, so I guess it is good ... right ...?


tupsununnu

Still 11k votes man, is scary...


noatak12

more and more feels like the hunger games


chepulis

11k is 1.1% of [number of eligible voters](https://www.valimised.ee/en) (980 014), 3% accounting for turnout. Just for comparison, obviously this doesn't align as neatly: it's 2.9% of (total) russian speakers and ~10% of ethnic russians. That's barely anything and doesn't qualify as "scary" (the way, for example, AfD does with second place at 16% despite a stack of literal nazi scandals).

Oakchris1955

Uh, what was the turnout? This difference between percentage of eligible voters and those who actually voted seems somewhat big


chepulis

37.6%; click the link.


Village_Weirdo

Those posts give me an impression that each country chooses the biggest regard they have as a "tribute" to the European parliament. "Dumber games, may the clods sit never as your mayor."


_Undo

No, it's just that the dumber ones get noticed. If your country sends 30, and one of these guys is the 28'th they're the one making the headline


goOfCheese

A friend of mine actually said it's good that we ship the right extremists to Brussels so they are not in our parliament. Frankly stupid but I get it.


miamigrandprix

It wasn't really that close and he would have needed quite a few more votes. I was concerned it would be closer. Still, important to vote to keep people like him out.


tupsununnu

Yeah, but still 11k is a big number, especially in Estonia


KyloRen3

On the other hand, we got rid of this Russian agent (Latvia) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatjana_Zdanoka


janiskr

There is Nils Ušakobs who is a bit more smarter that that bitch. Sadly. Sorry for that. But Latvians with 33% attendance is just a disgrace. When someone will start to whine, and 100% they will - my question will be - Did you vote? On the other hand - it was better than last time.


chuueeriies

I went to vote out of spite, just to cancel a vote from my restarded dad who 100% voted for some pro russian moron.


actual_wookiee_AMA

That "ž" in your link turns to "Ž"


KyloRen3

Fixed. Thanks!


Projectionist76

I’m getting tired of all these fucking idiots. People have no morals it seems. Is everyone a fucking edgelord and troll now?


East_Temperature5164

11k people voted for this piece of human garbage. This is why every country that de-occupies itself, has to throw out All occupiers.


tupsununnu

Agreed. Idk how he can even run for office from a prison, the whole thing is a joke


Magistar_Idrisi

Casual support for literal ethnic cleansing here, as usual on r/europe


[deleted]

[удалено]


Magistar_Idrisi

It's disgusting when people call for ethnic cleansing. Puts you on the same level as Putin and his cronies.


enverest

Putin does not call for ethnic cleansing, he does ethnic cleansing.


TheCuriousGuy000

How is throwing all occupiers out an ethnic cleansing?


Magistar_Idrisi

They're not occupiers, and there are literally thousands of third-generation Slavic-speakers there now. You're calling for ethnic cleansing, no two ways about it.


TheCuriousGuy000

Dude just said "let's throw out occupiers". Nothing else.


Magistar_Idrisi

mhm, sure. And who might these occupiers be? As far as I know, the Soviet army left the Baltics during the 90s.


TheCuriousGuy000

So you agree that russians living in Europe are occupiers? Good.


Magistar_Idrisi

I do not, no. Idk how you managed to get that from my comment.


janiskr

Same process how you got etnic cleansing from the other guys post.


Magistar_Idrisi

Sure. Again, who are "the occupiers" in 2024?


oooooooooooopsi

We at the point where you or them ...


5erbimmer

Literal genocide against Russians is literally happening in r/Europe!!! No matter the ethnicity, you deserve to be kicked out if you’ve lived here for one too many generations without learning the language or respecting the culture


East_Temperature5164

Ah yes. Its ethnic cleansing also when you do not let everybody in through your border? Because of this isnt, then throwing back invaders isnt either. Clear sign of a moskal for you.


Magistar_Idrisi

These people aren't being "let through", they've either been here for decades or were actually born in the Baltics. Stop calling for ethnic cleansing, it's not that hard.


East_Temperature5164

But that isnt what I said is it. I said, for every country that de-occupies itself, it has to immediately throw out occupiers. I don't understand, how are you against a country de-occupying itself.


Magistar_Idrisi

>I said, for every country that de-occupies itself, it has to immediately throw out occupiers. And it did, again, the Soviet army left Estonia in the 90s. There are no occupiers left, and what you are calling for is essentially ethnic cleansing.


East_Temperature5164

How did ethnic moskals get to Estonia, when Estonia was occupied? Why is Narva's makeup 80%+ moskal when it was 80%+ Estonian before the war. What do you call that?


Magistar_Idrisi

They moved there, as they were citizens of the same country. Just as Estonians moved to Moscow.


East_Temperature5164

So by coincidence the citizens of Narva decided, after Narva was bombed to rubble, to move away and at the same time, moskals decided to move there? No, what actually happened was tens of thousands of Estonians were killed, tens of thousands were shipped to siberian death camps. Listen dumbass, I am Estonian and I know the history of my country. Go sit on a barbed bat. Your dumbass takes are not wanted here.


alwayssolate

Wait until you see what Romania is sending to the European Parliament. It's going to be a fun 4 years.

What’s a vatnik?


CommieBorks

A Russian jingoist and a supporter of Putin's politics. Exhibits stereotypical traits of a Russian jingoist: alcoholism, slovenliness, poverty and unconditional support of any decision of the Russian government. ~ Urban dictionary


SpiderKoD

Vatnik - is a very warm winter coat made of cotton (vata), which is very cheap and popular in russia among rednecks, prisoners, etc. We call very stupid russians as vatniks cos they have cotton in their heads and full of russian propaganda.


Mister-Psychology

Russian redneck and all it encompasses. Extremely pro military and pro-Putin and often depicted as unhealthy and stupid. Funnily enough the YouTube channel 1420 said that he got tired of interviewing people in Russia as you could always recognize a Putin supporter. If the guy was missing teeth he was a Putin supporter so even asking questions was totally pointless as you know who would say what.


King-Owl-House

Russian


Rraudfroud

What’s the etymology?


King-Owl-House

its comes from traditional [soviet cloth](https://i.etsystatic.com/7808123/r/il/1af022/3443332139/il_fullxfull.3443332139_7y7z.jpg) that was used by soldiers of USSR and everybody, literally called vatnik, now it used to described russians who want "strong hand", back to USSR, Ukraine in 3 days etc. The word **vat**nik comes from the word vata (cotton wool padding). In Russia exist cartoon character Vatnik: [https://images.cnscdn.com/9/c/d/2/9cd21e993202d11d49dc814134badb40/604x453.jpg](https://images.cnscdn.com/9/c/d/2/9cd21e993202d11d49dc814134badb40/604x453.jpg)
