>>669816 >korenizatsiya The complaints about this always come from a position of chauvinism. I doubt the peoples who got to use their own language equally, or had them written down for the first time, consider it "retarded". It was the Bolshevik support of national equality that helped them win and won them deserved respect. I also don't see why communists shouldn't criticise jingoist nationalism, especially of their own nationality.

>>669836 >The complaints about this always come from a position of chauvinism. That's probably true and it was necessary and good thing for the bolsheviks to break Russian chauvinism, but in the end they had to realize that the USSR wasn't just any union of nations. It was a country that was the successor state of the Russian Empire and the only reason why the smaller nations of the USSR joined together with the Russians is because they had been colonized by them in the past. It was also a practical necessity to preserve the use of Russian language (and therefore Russian cultural hegemony to a certain extent) in areas of Soviet society like union-level politics or science. Also in some cases Russian influence was so pervasive over other nations was pretty much pointless to reverse. Take for example Belarussian liberals who wanted force the use of the Belarussian language on all aspects of public life while most people didn't speak the language. The Belarussian people said "no thanks" and voted for Lukashenko.

>>670985 >successor state of the Russian Empire That's like saying the GDR was the successor of the third reich. And the decision to form a union of soviet republics was because the original idea of the USSR was that it would be a worldwide union of soviet republics as a precursor to world communism. After WW2, countries like Poland didn't choose to join the USSR. Bulgaria did consider it but didn't in the end.
I don't regard teaching of Russian as colonialism as anti-communists in the non-Russian republics howl, as you say it was necessary.
As for the anthem, perhaps this is controversial but I think that it would have been better as the RSFSR anthem as it never had one. The Internationale should have remained the USSR anthem, IMO. But it's a tiny side issue.

>>673703 Plenty of Indian men who went to the USSR married soviet women and either brought their wives with them to India or settled in the Soviet Union itself, like my father’s friend. I think that it more or less had to do with the fact that he was outside of the country and marrying a foreign national would cause diplomatic issues.
Anyways, Russians are basically white indians, so I don’t see the problem in it.

>>677624 Go into a St. Petersburg elevator and tell me with a straight face it doesn’t smell like urinal. (Jokes aside, you do realize this is what happens when people have no sanitation facilities, right? San Francisco used to have homeless people dookie everywhere for that reason).
Also, Russia was stratified as all hell before the revolution and they loved them some pogroms. Modern India is what Russia would have been if the Soviet Union never came into power.

http://ya-uznayu.ru/ Read the subtitles of this, it's everyday language and gives you insight into culture. There are some grammar videos too, with most of them being interviews with Russians:

>>637976 He really doesn't. He made a video (granted it was kinda provocative) where he asked those who consider themself commmunist not to spend more than 1-1.5 on games and instead do some communist organizing and stuff like that. In response people went apeshit and eventually it turned into shitshow on both sides.

>>660762 They were more like a caste. They are not an ethnicity nor they are a religious group. After Russian Empire fell they dissolved and existed only oon family history pages and nowadays there are a bunch of larpers who like to pretend that they are cossacks and it's like an ethnos. It is retarded in many ways but sometimesd quite entertaining. Obviously those who do that are incredibly reactionary.

It seems like the Geneva talks between NATO and Russia are breaking down with no results at all.

>>688746 Russia will do more drills, scaring Poles and Ukrainians shitless. Meanwhile, USA will shit itself economically trying to push bases into Eastern Europe, thus either shifting focus away from China or actually abandoning Eastern Europe. In either case, USA loses, and NATO loses. EU may win Ukraine out of this, maybe, but I fucking doubt that Germany-France Axis will want yet another pro-US state in EU.

È chiaro che siamo aperti. Nel 2008 abbiamo stabilito che Ucraina e Georgia diventeranno membri, ma non quando. https://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2022/01/14/news/jens_stoltenberg_intervista_segretario_generale_nato_ucraina_russia_usa_occidente-333737020/ he literally said, that they allowed Georgia and Ukraine to join NATO in 2008.

And it's a well known fact. They are setting "the dealdline" all the 14 years, lmao. I don't think this means anything serious
