They're comments maybe rude, but they have truth to it and it is politics after all. They left the Soviet Union and became a nation state. They are amongst the poorest nations now. They make demands on Russia and most of these countries National Budget relies on their migrant workers sending money back to their countries. Kyrgyzstan seemed like a better situation but it isn't. Those in power just took foreign money, while the people lived with minimal incomes. These politicians remarks are in answer to the constant demands and requests from Russia. Russia gets no mutual benefit from these nations. Maybe Pakistan should demand apologies from Obama and his Predator drone joke.... Since those drones kill mostly civilians. I mean we can get really sensitive over many political rhetoric or you can grow some skin and learn what's causing this rhetoric to be spoken in the first place. Still don't like their behavior though.

I agree with your comment Razkolnik...Russian nation is one of those, which almost never comment badly as this two did! Not only that they have to apologize for their rude remarks but someone have to give them a "yellow card"...There is not place for any official to behave so badly, in Russia goverment bodies...Law shall be adopt to prevent such behaviour in future.No hard felings..nothing personal but you two do not represent yourself-you represent all Russian people and state ...Watch your mouth next time! Thank you.

Vladimir Zhirinovsky and Gennady Onishchenko should get administrative punishment and apologize for their arrogant and appaling behaviour! They do not deserve to call themselves Russians!
