Today the KamAZ plant was on fire in Yar Challi

The plant management said that “garbage” was burning. After all, there is always garbage that burns at every plant, right? Especially in the strategic sector, where military equipment is made. J

It is strange: exemplary cleanliness and order are near the plant, the lawns are trimmed, the sidewalks are swept, and the plant, obviously, has accumulated multi-ton deposits of flammable waste and various garbage. Well, for such management of the important facility, the plant management should be kicked out of their positions! Putin, Shoigu! Where is sanitary and environmental safety at the strategic enterprise?!! J

Language policy in the modern world

Language policy in the modern world

The need for identity lies in the desire (conscious or unconscious) to use “one’s own” language, naturally acquired in the first years of life, in any communication situation. Such a language is called mother tongue, or native (the latter term may have other meanings). An extreme case of satisfying identity needs is monolingualism. Even if a person has more than one maternal tongue (for example, if the parents speak different languages or the child is raised by a nanny who speaks a different language than that of the parents), there is no absolute equality of languages, and one language always becomes the first for a person, and another becomes the second one [Edwards, 1994, p. 3].

Alexey Serov, 42 years old, after a quarrel, cut a 47-year-old woman from Nikolsky village into pieces with a hacksaw and put them in two suitcases. In Udmurtia, he served a 12-year sentence from 2018 for beating another man to death. Although the daughter of the murdered woman was already an adult, Serov met the murdered woman at a dating site for single mothers. Apparently, she was delighted by the track record of the maniac-defender and the story of the large amount of blood money earned in the war.

The killer came back from the war and continued to kill – what a surprise!

The Day of United Action in Memory of the Genocide of the Soviet People by the Nazis was held in Idel-Ural

Children in schools were lured into participating in this show.

Khabirov and Nikolaev propose to teach children of Chuvashia and Bashkortostan to be afraid

Khabirov and Nikolaev propose to teach children of Chuvashia and Bashkortostan to be afraid

Instead of demanding that the imperial military production be located outside the national republics, the local gauleiters want children to practice running into basements to hide from drones. No one is even considering the option of not giving reasons for the arrival of these drones. Instead, the enterprises will be required to cover everything with special nets and further tighten the rules for UAV flights in certain areas.

They simply cannot and do not want to stop: Moscow feeds them, Moscow has given them a bit of power, Moscow has compromising materials on them, Moscow protects them. Therefore, they will rather allow the children of their native republics to sit in basements or die than to categorically demand that military production be moved away from the republics.

In Tatarstan, they want to send 14-year-old teenagers to work at enterprises of the military-industrial complex

In Tatarstan, they want to send 14-year-old teenagers to work at enterprises of the military-industrial complex

Thus the occupation authorities decided to fight unemployment, the industrial shortage of personnel caused by the war and the outflow of migrants, as well as “promote the employment” of teenagers from “families in a socially dangerous situation.”

That is, the most vulnerable children, whom no one will protect, will be sent to work in military factories that are legitimate military targets. Rushists continue their age-old tradition of hiding behind other people’s children. They would never hide behind children from Moscow in such a way.

What can be done safely now for the benefit of the future state?

The question often arises: what can be done safely now for the benefit of the future independent state? A Ukrainian subscriber of our Telegram channel shared her thoughts and experience.

One of the serious problems of any young state is personnel shortage. Here in the east, we felt very acutely these personnel holes when we had to create regional departments from scratch and poor specialists came due to the lack of normal personnel.

Kim Vasin: translator between cultures and the duality of the Soviet era

Kim Vasin: translator between cultures and the duality of the Soviet era

Kim Vasin did not question how the imperials would perceive translations of Russian-speaking writers into the Mari language.

Will they ask how “absurd” “Eugene Onegin” sounds in the Mari language, what the learned cat in Lukomorye says and why Mari literature is needed in general. He simply took and translated, knowing that the writers whom Moscow designated as Russian are replicated most easily and quickly, so this would make it easier for the Mari to expand their own language environment.
