“Ukrainian russophobia has absolutely no boundaries and limits”: a monument to the Chuvash communist poet Mikhail Sespel was demolished in Chernihiv region, which agitated the occupation authorities in Chuvashia

With the big war against Ukraine, the Kremlin only spurred the processes of both de-communisation and decolonisation (demoscovitisation, de-russification, de-russianisation – whatever you call it) of this country.

Grimaces of patriotism

Grimaces of patriotism

In the Soviet Union, the popular science magazine Vokrug Sveta was published, in which there was a heading Сlorful World, which ridiculed the “grimaces of capitalism.” Articles about stupid bourgeois laws were often published there. For example, “There is a law in Wisconsin that prohibits opening umbrellas near horse-drawn carriages!” “Ha ha ha! Those silly Americans!”

War, then again war and again war

War, then again war and again war

Most Western military analysts, as well as representatives of British, American, Estonian and Ukrainian intelligence, are now openly expressing the same fears that Arkadiy Babchenko, a journalist, blogger and still a citizen of the Russian Federation, announced for everyone a long time ago.

They lie in the fact that after losing the current war, the empire will not fall apart, but will only become more united around the dictator and even more zombified. The Kremlin will be preparing for revenge within 10-15-30 years and preparing for a much larger war, which will be not only against Ukraine and other post-Soviet countries, but also against all Europe and the NATO bloc.

Why did the Erzya diaspora of Estonia ignore the congress?

In Estonia, there are two Erzya societies, and the number of Erzya or people with Erzya roots is in the hundreds of people (someone gives numbers of a thousand or more). Erzya organizations, however, like the entire Erzya diaspora in Estonia, ignored the Erzya congress in Otepää. It is no secret that the Erzya people of Estonia are afraid of the national movement like fire. Even after the start of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, the Erzya diaspora of Estonia prefers to remain silent and speaks out only in cases where it is simply impossible to sit quietly, because one can get into obstruction by the Estonians.

When will the Tatars start to eat pork after vodka?

When will the Tatars start to eat pork after vodka?

Sometimes, when reading articles about language discussions in Ukraine, I think with envy: we should have their problems! After all, everything is going up with the functioning of their native language, while with us it is on the contrary. There, for example, soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of Russian ethnic origin argue about the obligatory transition to the Ukrainian language in everyday communication. Some say, “We are Russian-speaking Ukrainian patriots! No one dares to force us to speak Ukrainian, in the trenches under shelling we answer Ukrainian words in Russian, and everything is clear to everyone!” Some of their “compatriots” answer, “But we are fighting, among other things, for the state Ukrainian language!”

Two worlds, two civilizations, one war

Two worlds, two civilizations, one war

When watching a video with hundreds and thousands of mobilized people, who thoughtlessly go where they are being led, involuntary associations arise with watching old footage of the chronicles of the Second World War, where the Nazis are leading large columns of Soviet prisoners. They can not go: they are not exhausted yet, since they were recently taken prisoners, and there are hundreds of times more of them than the escorts, and the escorts will definitely not cope with all of them. Even if some part would die, the majority would defeat the escorts pretty quickly. But they don’t even think about it. They’re just fatefully walking. Someone hopes to get lost on the road and run away, but there are only a few of them. Most of them walk where they are led. All this Orwellianism evokes a sense of hopelessness. The meat understands that it is meat, and understands that it is being led to the slaughter, but it continues going. Because everyone goes.

Can a “hostel” be turned into a penthouse?! Part 2.

Can a “hostel” be turned into a penthouse?! Part 2.

You can read the beginning here.

One of the problems of Russia is its gigantic size. Too big, clumsy and badly controlled. Too rich, the entire reliance is not on the fruits of labor, obtained by reason, will and sweat, but on almost free resources easily obtained from a hole in the ground. Moreover, the hole was dug using Western technologies and machines. It is too multinational and in the conditions of the command-repressive form of economy also becomes negative. After all, according to the current policy, Russia is a monocultural and mononational country. National manifestations beyond the permitted norm are severely suppressed. And this is not globalization, as in the whole world, but unification, cultural genocide.
