1 | Russia: Why We Are Leaving Our Country Behind | Rosia: Nahoana Isika No Mandao Ny Firenentsika? |
2 | Recent months have seen a new spin on the topic of emigration that seems to be ever-present in the Russian online space. | Tato ho ato, ary volana maro izay, tsy maintsy ahitana resaka fifindra-monina na mihodinkodina eo amin'izany ny foto-dresaka teo amin'ny tontolon'ny aterineto Rosiana. |
3 | Several powerful blog posts written by people from different social groups have become a platform for expressing one's take on the present and future of the country and people's place in it. | Lahatsoratra matanjaka maro tanaty bilaogy nosoratanà olona avy amin'ny vondrona sosialy maro samihafa no lasa sehatra hanehoan'ny tsirairay ny toerana raisiny momba ny anio dy ny ampitson'ny firenena ary ny toerana misy ny vahoaka ao anatin'izany. |
4 | The issue of massive Russian emigration is more than a century old. | Efa hita an-jato taona mahery tany io olan'ny fifindra-monina faobe eo amin'ny Rosiana io. |
5 | In the past, several waves of emigration deprived the country of millions of qualified workers, scientists and writers. | Fahizay, onjam-pifindra-monina maro no nahatonga ny firenena ho tsy ampy mpiasa mahafeno ny fepetra ilaina, olona mpahay siansa sy mpanoratra ihany koa. |
6 | Emigration from Russia has never stopped since then. | Nanomboka teo dia tsy nisy fiatoana ny fifindra-monina avy any Rosia. |
7 | Even with the improving economic situation in recent years, a good number of Russians still dream about leaving the country. | Na teo aza ny fihatsaran'ny toe-karena to ho ato, dia mbola maro hatrany ireo Rosiana no mbola manonofy handao ny taniny. |

10 | Russian newspaper Novaya gazeta reported [ru] that in a recent poll, 22 percent of adults (mainly businessmen and students) had expressed their willingness to leave Russia for good. | Nitatitra [ru] ny gazety Rosiana Novaya gazeta fa araka ny tarehimarika farany teo, dia 22 isan-jaton' ireo olon-dehibe (indrindra indrindra fa ireo mpandraraha sy ny mpianatra) no naneho ny faniriany handao tanteraka an'i Rosia. |
11 | The newspaper also cited an “official number” of 1.3 million scientists and engineers who left the country in “recent years.” | Nanome “tarehimarika ofisialy” ihany koa ny mpanao gazety: 1.3 ny mpandalina ny ara-tsiansa sy ny injeniera izay nandao ny taniny “tato anatin'ireo taona faramparany teo.” |
12 | “Russia is evil” | “Rosia no ratsy” |
13 | “Russia is evil in its pure unalloyed form,” began the blog post of well-known Russian author and now emigrant Yuri Nesternko who got political asylum in the United States. | “I Rosia no haratsiana amin'ny endriny hita vatana sy tsy mifangaro,” hoy ny voalohan-tenin'ny lahatsoratra am-bilaogy nosoratana mpanoratra Rosiana fanta-daza iray, ary mpitsoa-ponenana kosa ankehitriny dia Yuri Nesternko, izay nahazo fialonkalofana ara-politika any Etazonia. |
14 | Written at the end of 2010, Nesterenko's now famous article [ru] called “Exodus” struck close to the hearts of many Russian bloggers. | Nanohina ny fon'ireo Rosiana maro mpitoraka bilaogy ilay lahatsoratra izay manana ny lazany ankehitriny [ru] nosoratan'i Nesterenko tamin'ny faran'ny taona 2010, nampitondrainy ny lohateny hoe “Exodus”. |
15 | Having quickly become a must-read for pro- and anti-emigration factions alike, Nesterenko's post is a cry of frustration of someone who tried to live in Russia but could never bear its realities. | Vetivety monja ilay izy dia lasa lahatsoratra tsy azo ihodivirana na ho an'ireo mpomba, na ho an'ireo mpanohitra ny fifindra-monina, ilay lahatsoratr'i Nesterenko dia kiakam-katezeran'ny olona iray nikasa ny hipetraka tao Rosia nefa tena tsy nahazaka mihitsy ny zava-misy, anisan'ireo mpamaky ireo ny olona manaiky sy mandà ny fifindra-monina. |
16 | Nesterenko places significant importance on the Russian mentality and argues that it prevented, prevents and will prevent the country from becoming prosperous. | Nanome lanja lehibe ny toe-tsain'ny Rosiana i Nesterenkoary. Nanambara izy fa nanakana, manakana ary mbola hanakana ny fivoaran'ny firenena izy io. |
17 | Nesterenko criticized his fellow Russians for historically producing corrupt rulers: “they did not come from Mars,” he wrote, calling Russia and its population hopeless. | Nanakiana ireo Rosiana namany i Nesterenko noho izy ireo namolavola mpitantana mpandika lalàna foana teo amin'ny tantara: “tsy avy any amin'ny planeta Mars akory izy ireo,” hoy izy, milaza fa tsy misy azo antenaina i Rosia sy ny mponina ao aminy. |
18 | He dismissed any arguments supporting Russian patriotism and called for massive emigration: | Nolaviny avokoa ireo hevitra naroso izay manohana ny fitiavan-tanindrazan'ny Rosiana ary mamporisika ny fifindra-monina faobe: |
19 | Russia is not something THAT needs to be saved but rather something FROM which one needs to save oneself. | Tsy ZAVATRA mila avotana akory i Rosia fa zavatra iray ilain'ny tsirairay ialàna hanavotany ny tenany. |
20 | [We need to] save everyone who can be saved starting with ourselves. | [Mila] manavotra ny tsirairay avy izay mbola azo avotana isika ary tsara atomboka amin'ny tenantsika tsirairay avy izany. |
21 | Hence, emigration is the only way out. | Noho izany, ny fifindra-monina no hany làlana hahatontosana izany. |
22 | We need to stop ruining our lives and serve as compost for Russian dirt that will never produce anything except thistle. | Mila ajanontsika hatreo ny fanimbàna ny fiainanantsika sy ny fanolorana izany ho toy ny zezika ho an'ireo Rosiana ratsy fanahy, izay tsy hamokarany na inona na inona afatsy ireny voninkazo feno tsilo ireny fotsiny. |
23 | To support his argument that nothing good will even happen to Russia, Nesterenko wrote about the indifference of Russians toward the relative freedom that the country currently enjoys: | Mba hanohanana ny fomba fijeriny izay manambara hoe tsy hisy zavatra tsara mihitsy hitranga ao Rosia, dia nanoratra mikasika ny tsy firaikàn'ny Rosiana manoloana ny sarintsarim-pahalalahana iainan'ny firenena amin'izao fotoana i Nesterenko: |
24 | Not less than a third of Russians have Internet access […]. | Tsy latsaky ny ampahatelon'ny Rosiana no mampiasa aterineto […]. |
25 | How do they use this access? | Ahoana ny ampiasan'izy ireo an'izany? |
26 | They fill political forums with hatred toward the West, Georgia, Ukraine, “demshiza” [derogatory term for pro-democracy movement delivered from words “democracy” and “schizophrenia”] and, of course, Jews […], nostalgia for Sovok [Soviet Union] and eulogies for Stalin. | Ny amenoan'izy ireo ny sehatra fifanakalozan-dresaka ara-politika dia ny fankahalàny ny Tandrefana, Georgia, Okraina, “demshiza” [fanafoizan-teny ampiasainy hamaritana ny hetsika ataon'ny mpomba ny demokrasia izay nalaina tamin'ny teny hoe “demokrasia” sy “schizophrenia”] ary mazava ho azy, ny hoe Jiosy […], fahatsiarovana ny Sovok [Firaisana Sovietika] ary kabary fanidrahindràna an'i Stalin. |
27 | Western radio stations are not being jammed but who listens to them? | Tsy voasompantsompatra ireo foiben'onjam-peo Tandrefana , nefa iza moa no mba mihaino azy ireny? |
28 | Since those are “enemy” broadcasts that are always anti-Russian […]. | Satria fampielezam-peo “fahavalo” izy ireo ary mpankahala ny Rosiana […].hatrany. [ |
29 | “I know only one thing,” Nesterenko concluded, “I will not come back to Russia. | …] |
30 | And I am happy that now for me it is not only ‘our country' […] but even not ‘this country.' | “Zavatra iray monja no fantatro,” hoy i Nesterenko namarana, “Tsy hiverina any Rosia mihitsy aho. Ary am-pifaliana no ilazako ankehitriny fa tsy ‘firenentsika' […] fotsiny izy io.' |
31 | Now and forever it is ‘that country.'” | Manomboka eto ary mandrakizay dia lasa hoe ‘io firenena io. ”. |
32 | Reasons to emigrate | Ny anton'ny fifindra-monina |
33 | Blogger Viktoria described herself as a “young woman of 25 years who wants to leave this country.” | Mamaritra ny tenany ho “tovovavy tanora 25 taona maniry ny handao io firenena io” ilay mpitoraka blaogy antsoina hoe Viktoria. |
34 | She wrote a post “Nine reasons I am leaving Russia” [ru] that received 9,000 “Likes” on Facebook, 8,000 reads on popular Russian social network Vkontakte.ru, 1,400 re-tweets on Twitter and more than 2,000 comments. | Nanoratra lahatsoratra iray izy nampitondrainy ny lohateny hoe “Antony miisa sivy no handaozako an'i Rosia” [ru] izay nahazoana “mpankafy” miisa 9,000 tao amin'ny Facebook, mpamaky miisa 8,000 tao amin'ny tambajotra sosialy Rosiana be mpahafantatra, Vkontakte.ru, ary miisa 1,400 ireo namerina nanao tweets tao amin'ny Twitter, mihoatra ny 2,000 ihany koa ny fanamarihana azo. |
35 | As the title promises, Victoria outlined things that had made her leave Russia: weak security, mediocre healthcare, poor education, lack of professionalism, high prices for property, widespread corruption, low quality of things produced in Russia, disrespect toward rights and liberties of people and - the most important factor for Viktoria - the mentality of “disrespect toward other people and intolerance bordering on fascism.” | Araky ny ambaran'io lohateny io, navoitran'i Victoria ireo antony nandaozany an'i Rosia: ny tsy fahampian'ny fandriam-pahalemana, ny haratsian'ny fiahiana ny fahasalamana, ny fanabeazana tsy manara-penitra, ny tsy fahampian'ny fahaiza-manao amin'ny resaka asa, ny halafosam-bidin'ny toeram-ponenana, ny fiparitahan'ny kolikoly, ny haratsian'ny zavatra vokarin'i Rosia, ny tsy fanajàna ny zo sy ny fahafahan'ny vahoaka ary - ny zavatra manan-danja lehibe indrindra ho an'i Viktoria -dia ny toe-tsaina “tsy fanajana ny olon-kafa sy ny tsy fandeferana efa manakaikikaiky ny fasisma tsy refesi-mandidy.” |
36 | Imagine for a second that something happened and all the government, all officials tragically died in one day. | Alaivo an-tsaina segondra iray monja hoe misy zava-mitranga ary maty tampoka ao anatin'ny andro iray avokoa ny governemanta sy ny olo-manan-kaja rehetra. |
37 | What will happen in a week, in a month? | Inona no hitranga ao anatin'ny herinandro, na ao anatin'ny iray volana? |
38 | There will be the same faces in the same places. | Mbola endrika toy ireo ihany no ho hita eo amin'io toerana io. |
39 | Why? | Nahoana? |
40 | Because people don't change. | Satria tsy miova ny olombelona. |
41 | Because due to the reasons that I fail to understand, our people are like that. | Ary nohon'ny antony tsy fantatro, dia tahaka izany ny vahoakantsika. |
42 | “You can say that I need to fight for my happiness, fight for my bright future,” Victoria wrote. | Hoy i Victoria: “Afaka milaza ianao hoe mila miady ho amin'ny fahasambarako aho, miady ho amin'ny ho aviko mamirapiratra,”. |
43 | “Sorry, friends, I am not a warrior, I am a shy system administrator. | “Miala tsiny ry namako, fa tsy mpitolona aho, mpandrindra ‘système' (administrateur système) saro-kenatra aho. |
44 | I don't want a bright future, I want a stable present.” | Tsy maniry ho avy mamirapiratra aho, ny anio no iriako hilamina.” |
45 | You shall not leave | Tsy tokony handeha ianao |
46 | During the wave of discussion of emigration on the Russian Internet, blogger armyan-capitan wrote a skeptical post [ru] on why many people would never emigrate. | Nandritry ny fivadibadihan'ny onjan'ny fifanakalozan-dresaka momba ny fifindra-monina teo amin'ny aterineto Rosiana, nanoratra lahatsoratra somary mampiseho fiahiahiana ilay mpitoraka bilaogy iray armyan-capitan [ru] mikasika ny hoe nahoana no tsy mieritreritra ny hifindra monina mihitsy ny olona maro. |
47 | The main reason, armyan-capitan writes, is mentality: | Hoy i armyan-capitan hoe: ny toe-tsaina no tena antony: |
48 | Don't make me laugh. | Aza manao izay hampihomehy ahy ianao. |
49 | Your grandfathers waited for 10 year when they would be arrested and did not leave even for a neighboring city. | Niaritra 10 taona ny raibenao raha nosamborina ry zareo ary tsy nety nifindra monina eny na dia hankany amin'ny tanàna akaiky azy aza. |
50 | And when they were taken to Kolyma [en] [region in Siberia known for its Gulag camps], they waited for an amnesty while gathering peels in prison garbage. | Ary raha nalefa tany Kolyma [en] [faritra ao Siberia fanta-daza amin'ny tobiny antsoina hoe Gulag ] aza izy ireo, dia niandry famelankeloka faobe teo am-pitsindrohana sakafo tany anaty fakon'ny fonja. |
51 | And they were not even “cattle” but officers, government officials and intellectual elite… But their grandchildren became “cattle.” Fat cops, office riff-raff and Putin's army of freeloaders. | Nefa tsy “biby fiompy” izy ireo fa olo-manan-kaja, mpitondra fanjakàna tao amin'ny governemanta sy manampahaizana matsilo saina … Fa ireo zafikeliny no lasa “biby fiompy” Mpitandro ny filaminana matavy be, mpiasa birao fotsy vozon'akanjo ary foloalindahy mpisava làlan'i Putin. |
52 | You won't leave anywhere. | Tsy hifindra monina na aiza na aiza ianao. |
53 | And not because you don't have money. | Ary izany dia tsy noho ny tsy fananam-bola |
54 | The blogger continues with other two reasons why people who want to emigrate never do: difficulties in obtaining immigration status and an inability to adapt to new cultures: | Mbola nitanisa antony roa hafa koa io mpitoraka blaogy io mikasika ny antony tsy nandehanan'ireo nanam-pikasana hifindra monina: ny olana misy eo amin'ny fahazoana taratasy fifindra-monina sy ny fahasahiranana eo amin'ny fanarahana kolotsaina vaovao: |
55 | You will not survive in the country where the law and not MONEY is above all. | Tsy vitanao ny hipetraka ao amin'ny firenena iray ka ny lalàna no manjaka ao fa tsy ny VOLA. |
56 | You will not understand it. | Tsy ho takatrao mihitsy izany. |
57 | On a genetic level. | Efa tarazo manaranaka. |
58 | You will not survive among normal people with your universal hatred. | Tsy afaka hiara-hiaina amin'ireo olona manara-penitra ireo ianao raha mbola miaraka amin'ny fankahalana tsy hita faritra. |
59 | They will not understand you and will not accept you. | Tsy hahafantatra anao mihitsy izy ireo ary tsy handray anao koa. |
60 | You will feel it right away when you come to leave here and not stay at a hotel so you can drink free inclusive beer. | Ho tsapanao avy hatrany izany rehefa hiala eto ianao ary tsy hipetraka amin'ny hotely ahafahanao misotro labiera maimaimpoana efa tafiditra ao anatin'ny sarany |
61 | The enormous popularity of those blog posts on the Russian Internet shows how many people cannot stay indifferent toward this topic. | Ny lazan'ireo lahatsoratra am-bilaogy ireo eo amin'ny aterineto Rosiana dia maneho fa liana amin'io lohahevitra io ny olona maro. |
62 | It is also a good indicator of how many netizens are dissatisfied with current situation in Russia. | Mari-pamantarana koa izany fa maro ireo mponin'ny aterineto no tsy afa-po amin'ny zava-misy ao Rosia amin'izao fotoana. |
63 | Popular Russian polling service Levada-Center reported [ru] that fewer and fewer Russians think that their country is moving in the right direction. | Nanao tatitra ny sampan-draharaha Rosiana mpanao fitsapan-kevitra, Levada-Center [ru], fa vitsy dia vitsy ireo Rosiana no mieritreritra hoe mizotra amin'ny làlana tena izy ny fireneny. |
64 | The number of citizens who approve of the job of the government has also been steadily declining. | Mihamihena tsikelikely ny isan'ny mponina izay mankato ny asa ataon'ny governemanta. |
65 | Mentality may be an easy target to blame for many problems in the country and emigration may seem like a fast solution to many young people. | Mety ho lasibatra mora tondroina ho fositry ny olana maro eo amin'io firenena io ny toe-tsaina ary ny fifindra-monina no toa vahaolana haingana dia haingana ho an'ny tanora maro an'isa. |
66 | But admitting “mentality causes” of Russian reality may also be a small step toward changing the centuries of silent obedience in the face of oppressive kings and corrupt governments. | Nefa ny fanekena “ny voka-dratsy ateraky ny toe-tsaina” eo amin'ny Rosiana dia mety ho isan'ny dingana kely niteraka fiovàna nandritry ny zato taona nileferana am-pahanginana teo anatrehan'ireo mpitondra fanjakàna mpanao didy jadona sy mpanao kolikoly ao amin'ny governemanta. |
