i think the rwa guys are done with war and just really like old timey trains now. probably a fond reminder of the monarchy

I took an overnight train from Moscow to Petersburg once, and it was like this. Very pretty, although I wish I had taken it during the daytime so I could see the landscape. Russia got the nice trains.

Yeah, it is (or war) honestly my preferred way to travel if I had a choice as long as the journey is around under 800-1000km.

The new trains are pretty nice and I think it is just a lot more comfortable than a car/bus/plane and a HSR train as well. It really depends if you need to immediately be somewhere or not.

I don't think Republicans stand on principle against blowing up white people, they're just waiting until the handshake with lil Z and Cold War 2 benefits them personally.

I suspect there's a bit of a game of telephone going on here, because 800,000 is a third of Crimea's total population. Or just the usual ethnonationalist big talk that the Daily Mail loves. Either way, in the unlikely event that Ukraine retakes Crimea, I strongly doubt their military will be in any position to undertake such a mass deportation.

e: there would be a hell of a lot of refugees though, so I dunno, maybe that's what they're talking about?

that twitter account is basically just an unfiltered stream of posts that are super rah rah about Ukraine's military and intelligence state. They post a lot about how the mayors in exile are compiling kill lists of collaborating kindergarten teachers and postal workers, and repost SBU notices of collaborators with personal details constantly. It's not a good source of factual information, but it's meant for an internal audience saying the stuff that gets them hot for more war and purges.

Basically if you want to see people saying the quiet part out loud that account does it constantly

according to the 2001 ukrainian census, crimea + sevastopol (administratively separate) had a combined population of 2.4 million. according to the 2021 russian census, crimea + sevastopol had a combined population of... close to 2.5 million. it is difficult to believe there are 800 thousand russians who only moved there after 2014 lol.
