frumpykvetchbot posted:Negotiations can only begin with Ukraine accepting Russia's position that Ukraine is in the wrong for existing and acknowledging that a compromise has to be made. This is a pretty wild starting point. The “compromise” will be Putin keeping Crimea / Donbas / Luhansk aka what he wanted all along and the “compromise” part will be graciously allowing an independent government in Kyiv for now.

The inflation figures are sort of right. Russia has been subsiding a good chunk of stuff so the end product the public buys has been offset by the government. And it did work but this is only a band aid and not a fix. Russia has been doing a lot to keep the jenga tower propped up. Increasing interest rates, using foreign reserves, using it's wealth fund, forcing big domestic companies to deposit 75% of profits into Russian banks as Rubles, selling gold, selling cheap oil. There's a long list of poo poo but they've done but not been able to fix it yet, only stabilise it for now. But inflation is going up and they are running a deficit. It's market is also starting to show signs of wobbling again.

Zopotantor posted:I don’t like the unique unit, and I sure hope they won’t need that last bonus from the unique building. I've been talking to some Ukranians and Ukraine experts in country and Azov isn't quite the white nationalist radical front it used to be (although I'm pretty quarantined from media in my specific living situation). I think that they might have a way to go but I also don't get the "all Azov are into racial purity" thing that was the common belief.

Ehh not as bad of a white nationalist is still a white nationalist and that's good enough for me personally to think badly of them. Their poo poo beliefs thawing though is a good start and that's the most i'll hand to them.

Plus, the roads from St Petersburg going north to the Finnish Raja-Jooseppi crossing are said to be only for the insanely adventurous.

Their poo poo beliefs thawing though is a good start and that's the most i'll hand to them. As I understand it from speaking to Ukranians here on the ground, many of the members were broken up and transferred to less radicalized units. That gave them the necessary culture shock to kick the white nationalism. There are several memorials to Azov soldiers that I've walked past in Kyiv and it's really hard to look down on the men and women there, especially with this knowledge in hand.

Also IIRC the white nationalists were only the small core that made up the original group that exists before they were actually put into the military, and they were the ones who got moved around. The rest of the group was just people from the place of Azov?

I think a lot of people forget that Azov is a place and not just some made up thing for white supremacy.

I'm Finnish and can't really think of any off the top of my head except this random one from the Soviet era. Co-productions with other neighbors (especially Sweden) are quite prevalent, but Russia, hardly. e: this is fully subjective and I don't have any insight into movie production. It's quite possible I just haven't paid attention.

Azov battalion was widely recognized as neo nazi paramilitary force before the war, up until 2021 or so. The cause for the recent rehabilitation of its image should be obvious, I’d hope.
