Asgardsrei Genre National Socialist black metal Location(s) Moscow, Russia (2012–2013) Kyiv, Ukraine (2014–present) Huh, there's that year again... The festival is strongly connected to Alexey Levkin of М8Л8ТХ, and his "Militant Zone" label, who act as organizers and originally founded the festival in Moscow in 2012. Levkin and the Militant Zone are heavily involved in the Ukrainian nationalist, Azov Battalion.[3]

The game divides settler colonialism into settler and colonialism. The first one is for settling "unclaimed land" where the primary population migrates to and inhabits newly conquered lands, while the second one is about exploiting the population that already lives there.

He's let the game run for a while and that map is showing the largest culture in state rather than "homelands". Georgia starts as Georgian and Krakow as Polish. The most insane part of the homelands is that North Caucasia is both a Russian and Ukrainian homeland, in a game that takes place just slightly before the North Caucasian genocide.

Lostconfused posted:There's no homelands map. It's a hardcoded state specific trait that you have to click on the state to look at. It also only matters for cultural assimilation and migration. Homeland on its own is completely meaningless. No, you release certain countries based on their "homelands". The effect is that if you release an independent Ukraine, whether you are Russia or you force Russia too, it gets the part of the world that they settled through a well-documented, "round up the locals and slit their throats" genocide. Leaving pre-approval of mass murder aside, if Kuban is a Ukrainian homeland because a bunch of Ukrainians moved there in the game's timeframe, then Outer Manchuria and Northern Kazakhstan should be as well.

Ah ok, so it gets treated as cores for releasing a subject. You're wrong about everything else though. Edit: Russian and Ukrainian are still treated as part of the same east slavic culture nothing will happen to the Russian pops. and

Frosted Flake posted:Honestly what’s fascinating to me is how much the history of WW2 will be rewritten in the West to further accommodate the Ukrainians and Balts. the Eastern Front is being transformed in the European imagination into being remembered like US Western expansion. There will be an acknowledgement that crimes occurred and they were horrific, but it was also an experience that created national identities and forged heroes for those nations.

If you want to say that the game is designed with some modern day preconceptions about race and ethnicity then sure. But as far as the actual game mechanics go, those things don't matter outside of colonizing "disorganized" states.

Lostconfused posted:If you want to say that the game is designed with some modern day preconceptions about race and ethnicity then sure. Race and ethnicity has nothing to do with this. There's nothing particularly notable aside from the fact that this "acknowledgement" of Ukrainian nationalism actually serves to paper over a genocide where Ukrainians benefited. Part of the North Caucasian genocide actually highlights how unstable the modern narrative of the Ukrainian nation is. From the documentation at the time there's essentially no mention of the phrase Ukrainian, all the perpetrators identify as Russian, all the settlers are referred to as Russian. But if you look at the language-based census, the settlers were largely Ukrainian speakers. And if you look at the perpetrators, the local ones were Cossacks, descended from the same Zaporizhian host that supposedly started first Ukrainian state. In another 50 years, Ukrainian nationalists would then try to claim Kuban as a part of Ukraine, and later still they would say that every Ukrainian speaker in Kuban who died in the Soviet famine was a holodomor victim. If you follow the story you get a long history of an eternal Ukrainian nation, which briefly becomes Russian during a period when they are committing genocide, then reverting back to Ukrainian after all that's over. Also when those Ukrainians in 2022 Kuban actually exist and generally support Russia, they become Russians again. It's like grasshoppers and locusts, Ukrainians are the base form, Russians are the orc form.
