Russian duma is preparing a citizenship law that would allow immediate citizenship to any descendants of those who were born in the parts of Russian empire or USSR that lie within current borders of Russian federation. And that's me, my granny was born in pre-independence Finland in a town that now is in Leningrad oblast. Thinking about moving to Russia now and living (La)da life

About one million Finns could get Russian passports. We could move to some major city there and swing elections.

Lol, that's probably something like 10% of the entire US population and a huge chunk of Israelis. I think most countries who have citizenship laws like that restrict it to grandparents?

How much oil (or mazut I guess) does that thing get through in a cruise I wonder. @GABA ghoul Italian citizenship isn't just limited to grandparents. Anyone who can prove an Italian ancestor from any time after Italian unification (1860ish iirc) can claim it. Its very popular with Brasilians who want to move to the EU.

Owling Howl posted:Russia annexing the most Russophone regions in Ukraine probably ensures that a democratic Ukrainian government friendly to Russia is largely impossible simply due to the shift in demographics. The alternative is a non-democratic Ukrainian government controlled by Russia but I don't see how you could achieve that without full-scale invasion and occupation. Russia has made no move to formally annex the DNR and LNR until VERY recently. They would prefer these regions to be made autonomous but still vote in Ukrainian elections. Having a politically neutral Ukraine > looking big on map

Looks like there's been a large scale cyber attack on the Ukrainian government, but more along the lines of intended to put stress on the government than facilitate an invasion (as far as we can see, at least): https://twitter.com/olgatokariuk/status/1481860141888806913?t=GnAu-iLQc8Q6Urik6fJ-mQ&s=19 In lighter news: https://twitter.com/OscDomesticated/status/1481977678219591690?t=Sxzu5oThVAmCgjVO1MBYzg&s=19 Cugel the Clever fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Jan 14, 2022 |

I don't really see them doing anything about Transnistria. It would require movimg a ton of troops by air since I don't imagine anyone would let them through otherwise, and it'd be a huge escalation even closer to the parts of Europe that matter.

Rest is very weird, like literal translation from other language and not something any native speaker uses. Like "wspólna sieć". I've also never heard anyone use "tereny historyczne", people would use "ziemie utracone" or more likely "kresy wschodnie".

The first word is singular in other languages as well, however.

It's singular in Polish as well, but it should be vocative (or whatever "wołacz" is in english).

Technically, I can see someone shouting "Ukrainiec!" as a derogatory vocative. As in, "Ej, Polak, zamknij mordę!" (shut up, Polack), as opposed to "zamknij mordę Polaku" (shut up Polish guy)

TipTow posted:Does Moldova even share a border with Ukraine that isn't controlled by Transnistria? On both sides of it, Transnistria is a landlocked fiefdom after all. Putting Clancy-hat on, if Russia did annex all of Ukraine then Russia would already be de facto in as much control of Transnistria as it is now in control of Novorossiya. Keeping things this way would put a damper on Moldova's wishes to join EU and NATO (and Romania's wish* to peacefully annex Moldova). Or why not keep rolling, no rest until Bukarest... *well, some of them anyway Nenonen fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Jan 14, 2022 |

rereading that "all your base belongs to us" message, the russian part of it feels kinda wonky as well. like not as wonky as the polish part of it apparently - at least it's correct grammatically. but it still feels like it's not written by a native speaker or something. sort of like if G-Man was speaking in russian i wonder if the ukrainian part of it is like that too
