Unsolicited submissions rejected by the Onion triggered FSB investigation of war on trolls, by Scott

I have a file. It’s a file with a collection of headlines, articles and opinions for the Onion online magazine. I worked on it for a while. A prospect of becoming an anonymous political satirist tickled my fancy. I talked to myself.

Ukropatriot vs Coca-Cola

Note: to be really really honest, I think that this is a fake.  But a very funny one.  The true story is that Coke in Russia did not include the Crimea on its initial map, and then decided to add it, which, of course, might have made some Urkopatriots angry.  But still, I cannot imagine Coke making a map of the Ukraine for the Ukraine without Crimea, so I think

To those Saker commentators who detected “anger” in my sitreps, I can only say that you, Ladies and Gents, sound like my psychiatrist: “Scott, what are we going to do with your anger?” One day, I will tell you the story of how we met. Since he comes from one of those countries “civilized” and “liberated” by the West, I explained it to him in no uncertain terms, and he

Russian Humor for December 27th, by Scott
