The Russian media is obsessed with the American civil war. No, not the one that erupted in 1861 over the secession of the South — the civil war that's coming with the next US presidential election.

More than 30 articles were published in the past few days on some of the country's most popular news sites ahead of a hotly contested congressional election in the United States next week, all suggesting that Americans might turn their many guns against each other.

"The next presidential election could lead to a definitive split in American society and a new civil war," reported the Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti. The agency's website is the second most widely read news site in Russia, according to data from Rambler.Ru.

"In Harvard they're predicting war within the United States," read a headline on Gazeta.ru, another popular Russian news site.

This will come down to some kind of religious freedom nonsense.

Are religion based. Fighting and killing over some mythical being no one has seen.

3. krustev is winning.

you can go onto 4chan and see our youth think Russia is a glorious nation and Putin is a hero.

fringe conspiracy sites <PM me if you want to see the horror> think Putin's Russia is the shining city on the hill because of the crackdown of gays and they actually believe he is a Christian.

I grew up in the 80's with all the American jingoistic BS and such, but going into the deeper parts of the web it terrifies me how so many 'Americans' now sympathize and long for Russia,putin,ussr

5. It's all racist longing. They see Russia as a whites only country and that's what they want.

They need to talk to comrade Snowden to see how well he likes it over there.
