Russian DX contest March 16th 2024

[bluesky]

Dear friends.
When I answer Russian stations I always send some anti-putin news or facts or I ask them critical questions (which they newer answer apart from sometimes they answer with Nazi )
Can you give me some advise on how to best sabotage the their DX tomorrow. I only use CW and will be on 14MHz, 18MHz or 21Mhz bands tomorrow.
Best regards
Erling

which they newer answer

Hi Erling!
Why did you decide that they understood you? Every time I hear such "QSO", they do not understand anything, but take it as their support. Other people respond to them and they perceive only this. Do you know russian and tell them in russian? Then it's another matter. Although this also seems wrong to me. The terrorist's only goal is to draw attention to himself and his crimes. They are not chasing some rational result - they are only looking for recognition.
The only way is to ignore them and never answer, even if they start calling on your frequency.
Wlad.

Hi Wlad,
Actually most of them do not answer after they have listened to me and then they stop calling CQ. I think they stop calling because they do not want to be identified or named as suspects by FSB.
I sometimes communicate in english and sometimes in russia (by use of google translate).
However, it sometimes happens that I think that I might risk offending some who are not supporters of Putin
Best regards

Those who do not support the russian government do not use russian callsigns. You won't be wrong.
pootin is not a cause, but a consequence. All russians are the same. Ask any of them if he voted “AGAINST” pootin and if he agrees that russia would give up all the occupied territories and pay compensation for damages? I mean not only Ukraine. Occupied territories of Japan, Georgia, Finland and other neighboring countries.

[bluesky]

Most russians would not officially admit that they are against pootin and the war, because they fear a.o. imprisonment.
However the people around Navalnyj showed their opinion.

[US7IGN]

Navalny was simply fighting for power. Neither he nor his supporters have anything against the continuation of imperialist policies and are not going to return the occupied territories and pay compensation. Talk to any russian about this.

[bluesky]

Well, I have another opinion on Navalnyj and his supporters and I think that any politician's duty is to fight for power. That is how we do in a democratic country
However I justb asked if you have some suggestions on how to actively sanction the Russian radio amateurs, so to speak.
Best regards

I think the best result would be if no foreigner ever makes any contact with them. Maybe then they will think about what is wrong with them.

Your attempt to apply your democratic concepts to terrorists from a totalitarian state is initially unsuccessful. If your house is inhabited by cockroaches, will you also try to find good ones among them and convince them not to eat from your plate?

A return to the search for good russians and dialogue with them is possible only after the destruction of the terrorist state, the return of all occupied territories, compensation for damage, their recognition of their guilt and an apology. Democracy implies collective responsibility, doesn't it? You are a bit contradictory, excluding some russians from responsibility for the actions of their state and society.

[bluesky]

Yes, I agree. But I hear many foreigners reply and communicate "normal" QSO's ending with exchanges 73 and dsw

This speaks of their illiteracy, first of all. For example, some send dsw to Ukrainians. It’s like greeting the British with “heil hitler!” during the Second World War!

[US7IGN]

However, you are not alone. Several people have already told me that they are going to interfere with the russians tomorrow.

[bluesky]

OK, Thanks good news.
I always end my communication with Ukrainian stations with a Slava Ukraini. But I have only once got the answer: Heroiam slava

[US7IGN]

Decades spent under the russian boot were not a gift for many Ukrainians.

[bluesky]

Do you hereby say that the return answer "Heroiam slava"  is not sent because they are pro-russian?
Please elaborate.
Stay safe!

[US7IGN]

Among part of the Ukrainian population, this slogan is considered too radical due to their upbringing received in the Soviet Union. I think it’s difficult to find a pro-russian Ukrainian now. In general, the tolerance of Ukrainians also has a downside. You will not see the lynching of russian prisoners or the bombing of russian cities as they do in Ukraine. This is one of the main cultural differences between Ukrainians and russians. Ukrainians do not seek to seize the lands of their neighbors and kill them, even if they have more land of their own than people capable of inhabiting it.
