When the public healthcare fails due to underfunding and paying out of pocket for basic things becomes the norm I get why people might look at worse systems, especially with 5% of paycheck already going into trash (judging by Russia)

Tias posted:Reading an article (In Danish, unfortunately) that makes some pretty interesting claims. Hope you all can help: Yes, Crimea is overwhelmingly pro-Russia because it always had the very special status due to Sevastopol being the main hub for Black Sea fleet. Despite the geography, Crimea was transferred into administrative direction of Ukrainian SSR only under Khrushev. However, there is a sizable (around 200 000) population of Crimean Tatars there. They suffered under Stalin's deportations, so understandably, they are extremely opposed to the current imperialistic-revanchist course of Russia and their main organisation, Mejlis, was deemed as "extremist" and banned by Russian government. Kosovo was indeed the first time the modern Russia went against NATO diplomatically, but Afghanistan invasion was eagerly supported by Russia (because in coincided with the second Chechen War and Russia's own anti-terrorist activities). As late as 2012 Russia actually offered NATO to build a transit base on its territory for logistical support, but the project went nowhere.

I'm curious as to what the mood is on the street and if any rifting along demographical lines is visible. I am here Ive been sleeping 3-4 hours a day and my head is boiling mad from doomscrolling and calling aunt in Mariupol So far most of the country is on copium because they think its just like 2014 and if not then China is gonna help us replacing all phones, cars and planes. Shits gonna get real closer to 10th when companies star skipping paydays because of how many businesses lead to Cyprus and other offshore holdings. SA used to be blocked some time ago, I think due to the drug forum

Aunt and grandmother are ok, there are blackouts but no shooting in their district still. Echo, despite liberal politics, is owned by Gazprom so it has been hit by Google abroad. Yesterday its radio channel was blocked by Russian state for calling the war as it is, but still available on YouTube.

Ukrainian journalists got into the house of Victor Medvedchuk, Putin's close friend who managed to escape house arrest just before the invasion. So guess what time it is?

Well the Navalny team at the moment are loudly saying that Crimea is Ukrainian, but back few years ago Navalny said that "Crimea is not a sandwich to be passed around". It is an understandable populist politician stance because the support for Russian Crimea is massive but very unfortunate for a true reformist. Russian liberals can be horrible imperialists, this is true, and a lot of them clashed with Ukrainians over various issues in the past and the rights of countries in Russian reach is always a blindspot. Younger opposition activists (like leftist students from DOXA journal and the like) are better on that, to the dismay of many people who disagree with applying colonialist reading of Russia (both to ex-soviet sphere and to ethnicities in Russia). Khamatova has never been in opposition, she has always tried to get support for her charity work by allying with the state and voicing support for whatever Kremlin initiative she was told to. A lot of people like her that tried to have a niche of decent people in bad system got shown how useless they are for current regime on February 24th . fatherboxx fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Mar 21, 2022 |

Today in what Russian cops bother with to not get sent to the Bakhmut trenches - they have started a crackdown on teenagers affiliated with the fearsome Ryodan PMC https://twitter.com/KevinRothrock/status/1630313046554865664 What is Ryodan PMC you ask? Well, it is a group of terminally irony poisoned and very aggressive weeabos who formed as a fanclub of a Dota 2-themed tiktok rapper. In order too stop being bullied they have started dressing in spider hoodies referencing a gang from HunterXHunter manga. They have started public fights in Moscow malls and seek beefs with football ultras, skinheads, Caucasian gangs and Central Asian migrants. Both skinheads and caucasians did not take that well and started publicly beating the poo poo out of kids just the same. In a sudden display of soft power those vape-crazy kids even manage to influence similar doomer teens to raise hell in Ukraine, including Ivano-Frankivsk, a place long believed to be supremely hostile to any Russian influence. https://twitter.com/go2the5dogs/status/1629929696979722256 lots of weebs were arrested in Kharkiv too https://twitter.com/Ars7513/status/1630302100352540673 cue Ukrainian police raising alarm about Russian psyops while Russian politicians warn about the threat of western degeneracy Teens love it and it is hillarious and horryfying at the same time because cops are 100% going to declare some of those kids as terrorists just like the one who blew up FSB headquarters in Minecraft. Cyberpunk is loving here and it is a shame that Andrew Callaghan turned out to be a sex pest because I don't think there is anyone else on the planet equipped to cover it fatherboxx fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Feb 27, 2023 |

What books are read in a country on a high speed slope into fascism? Turns out, lots of YA about love between young men. Russian Digital Ministry has published a statistical report for book market in 2022 and here are the most bought books for the year everything went to poo poo:  (banned books in red) Russian books: 1) A Summer in a Young Pioneer’s Tie by Elena Malisova and Katerina Silvanova - the bestseller sensation about two summer camp counselors in late USSR that enraged countless "war poets", military isekai enthusiasts, crusty fantasy bloodfiends and, in the end, Russian Parliament, that passed a severe law outlawing any LGBT "propaganda", even under 18+ rating. 2) What the Swallow is Silent About - a sequel to No 1, about the sad protagonists of the first novel in their 30s. 3) Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov - timeless classic about tortured love, Pontius Pilate and Satan's pals raising hell in Stalin's Moscow. 4) Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky - apparently, not enough copies have been printed for every Russian household, still 5) The Land of Kings, Volume of Clubs by Fyodor Nechitailo - an insanely popular comic series about adventures in a land of playing cards by a kid-friendly youtuber, starring his clones. Teens love complicated worlds with a lot of characters, so I guess it is kinda Russian Homestuck. Translated books: 1) 1984 by George Orwell - welp 2) Heaven Official's Blessing by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu - a Chinese fantasy novel series about very handsome young men 3) The Portrait of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde - making another generation sad 4) The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic - YA by an american author about sad boys playing sports 5) They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera - YA about doomed queer teens Despite best efforts of state machine sending every citizen with a Government Services account poetry books by insane people obsessed with war gore and commisars with big tits, teenage girls still rule the book market

Bright Bart posted:Was there any reason for them not to kill him? Like with everything the USSR does, their allies and bootlickers run the gamut of buying the flimsiest cover story or making one up for themselves, 'both sides'-ing the issue, not caring, believing Russia did it but that they did the right thing, to thinking they did it and it was illegal and immoral but that doing it actually makes look cool & strong in spite of/because of this. Well Russia did not really want to become a true pariah state so keeping polical prisoners (especially of Navany stature) alive is an important part of that.

The Russian election ads are something else https://twitter.com/POMAHMOBA/status/1760700317585272900?t=vo74yyoTV_q-hU6EbYWtRw&s=19 (This one is presented as if produced by Communist Party candidate but no one is buying it since the style of state-sponsored agitprop is too recognizable) Last one (accompanying constitutional amendments to give Putin more terms) had a typical old dude played by a famous comedic actor being suddenly drafted in the army so uhhh https://youtu.be/CmWECmoujrM?si=uY55Hzohw-27Vsi8

Rappaport posted:That ad did contain a mention of the Equality Gulag or whatever the nonsense term was, the evil homonazis will obviously have camps and liquidations because everything these people do is projection Yeah, it is weird because it uses the overwhelming state apparatus as a boogeyman, at a time when the state is interested in population trusting it, opposed to the external threat or "saboteurs and traitors" from the inside. This type of thing makes sense in the US where it is easy for red states to cultivate Big Government fears, but complete nonsense for Russia.

Funeral services in Russia are a massive racket, usually controlled by ex-cops or their families, depending on administrative connections to maintain control over the client flow straight from the hospitals and over precious graveyard land.

Bright Bart posted:Reason #1094 why these results are infuriating: You can point to them as evidence that Russia is a bellicose nation and we need to expect to fight them for possibly until the end of human civilization as we know it. You can point to them to show that Putin is a tyrant. But the bootlickers can point to these same results to say there is evidence of the opposite. (They of course miss the fact that it doesn't mean matter because no interpretation paints both the Russian government and society in a good light. Either one of the world's superpowers has been highjacked against the will of over a hundred million Russians, or the same have freely given and continue to give it to Putin to commit heinous acts.) Nah, these results are extremely good for anyone except Putin - dictator margins that are look absolutely implausible for anyone inside or outside make the fascimile of a supermajority even more comical and further moves that would have been made with the popular consensus in mind (say, another mobilization wave) are now percieved as playing not the hand that was dealt to him but one he imagines.
