Modern automatics are sometimes computer controlled manual transmissions. Sometimes with two clutches, even.

Is it some outside malevolent force or just corruption and neglect like every time something burns down, blows up, or collapses in America?

seems irresponsible to push a theory that there are government sponsored terror cells, as that could greatly escalate tensions

My mistake. Gerasimov, I copied the wrong name over. Shoigu appointed Gerasimov as the commander of the SMO. Surovkin will now be the deputy instead of commander.

I don’t own an automatic. I like manuals, though that will become a problem at some point in the future as they fade away.

The Russian environmental group Movement 42, based in Russia’s Arctic Arkhangelsk region, announced that it was ceasing its activities on Wednesday just one month after being designated a “foreign agent” by the Russian authorities.

“We consulted with lawyers and realized that it’s a big risk for us to continue to exist as an association”, the group said in a Telegram statement.

Movement 42 was founded in 2018 following the closure of its predecessor, Athos, an environmental group that worked in the region for 17 years before being forced to cease its activities in similar circumstances.

In the case of Athos, the authorities were apparently motivated to label the organization a foreign agent due to its work with the Norwegian environmental organization Natur og Undom.

Since its creation almost five years ago, Movement 42 had “repeatedly encountered attempts to discredit the association itself and its members,” the group said, culminating in its inclusion on the list of organizations deemed to be foreign agents by the Kremlin on Dec. 9.

The organization publicly stated their disagreement with the decision at the time, saying that they could be accused of nothing more than being “agents of nature.”

The group said that their inclusion on the register was likely linked to their calls on locals in the Arkhangelsk region to take part in public discussions about the proposed construction of a huge waste sorting complex in the region.

The closure of Movement 42 is the second serious loss for Russia’s environmental movement in the past month. In December Sakhalin Environment Watch (SEW), a veteran environmental watchdog in the Russian Far East, announced its closure after being labeled a foreign agent itself.

The law on foreign agents came into force in Russia in 2012 and originally targeted organizations that received funding from abroad. The legislation has undergone several amendments since then, most recently in December, when new rules were introduced allowing the authorities to assign the foreign agent label to any group or individual deemed to have fallen under “foreign influence” irrespective of whether they receive funding from outside Russia.

Yeah, Russian Army service dress hasn't looked like that in 30 years. The "Inside the Russian Army" book that's the most recent (according to mlmp) "Not" NATO pamphlet has a section on women and says that Russian culture has a different attitude towards women in the workplace, so they wear heels, earrings and makeup more than their counterparts here, but otherwise nothing much about it.
