From what I have read in that Japanese scholar's publication on language, it seems like people in Belarus and Ukraine adopted standard Russian in many aspects due to similarities in the languages. Historically, some simply considered Belarusian and Ukrainian as dialects (wrongly or rightly). Other SSRs with more different languages maintained their languages. So it seems like there was buy-in to the USSR project that Ukrainian nationalists are resentful of.

Ukrainian language existed and was taught in USSR. The current day nationalists are just trying to change things to distance themselves from communist and russian influence. And I've been told that there are several regional dialects of Ukrainian as well. I assume because the country covers a large geographic area and that land changed hands more than once. edit: If you ask me Ukrainian sounds like a mix of Russian and Polish, but I think we've had this conversation before too.

If you're looking at it from the side you're either on the ground or someone is probably gonna get shot at. Edit: Or you can just paint the whole top and side the same color, because it shouldn't make a difference for this specific case. Lostconfused has issued a correction as of 05:59 on Dec 1, 2022 |

quote:People feel exhausted by the debate—which was, perhaps, the point of the Russian assault on the historiography of the famine in the first place. quote:Certainly the elimination of Ukraine’s elite in the 1930s—the nation’s best scholars, writers and political leaders as well as its most energetic farmers—continues to matter. Even three generations later, many of contemporary Ukraine’s political problems, including widespread distrust of the state, weak national institutions and a corrupt political class, can be traced directly back to the loss of that first, post-revolutionary, patriotic elite. In 1933 the men and women who could have led the country, the people whom they would have influenced and who would have influenced others in turn, were abruptly removed from the scene. Those who replaced them were frightened into silence and obedience, taught to be wary, careful, cowed. In subsequent years the state became a thing to be feared, not admired; politicians and bureaucrats were never again seen as benign public servants. The political passivity in Ukraine, the tolerance of corruption, and the general wariness of state institutions, even democratic ones—all of these contemporary Ukrainian political pathologies date back to 1933. guess the book

Morbus posted:It's not a point in Ukraine's favor...but it is probably better than Ukraine being dependent on domestic production that is 100% vulnerable to strategic bombardment While its nice to have a distant factory thousands of kilometres away it also means that if something breaks or you need more than very basic field repairs its getting driven or towed all those thousands of kilometres back to the shop.

imo sending an army of regular soldiers with uniforms and tanks and everything into another country's territory constitutes an invasion i agree that it's the latest escalation in a reciprocal process, but if this is not an invasion it's not clear to me what would be

Polikarpov posted:Air Forces do this sort of thing when they're more worried about friendly AAA than enemy fighters. Maybe not “more” worried, but it’s definitely the motivation behind these giant color schemes and flag liveries. Russia and Ukraine have both had multiple friendly fire incidents, so there’s a reason why, especially on helicopters, the color schemes have become increasingly obvious with time. Ukrainian helicopters pre-war had a little roundel. now they have multiple massive Ukrainian flags. Same idea as painting big identifiers on trucks and tanks.

Donrf posted:I was told here that the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation does not know such an organization as the People's Militia DLNR and does not count service in it. Guys, that's tens of thousands of men. With guns. As for references, you can go to the city of Marinka or Artemovsk. They will explain to you what their service is and where it comes from. I wholeheartedly believe that this is a technical glitch caused by the reunion and not an act of sabotage. And that it will soon be overcome.
