My reasons for learning Russian are because I want to read Russian literature like Gogol, Tolstoy, Sholokhov and Lermontov, I've always been fascinated about Russian literature and I want to learn a language for reasons unknown so I decided to try to learn Russian because there's just so much literature I wish to read

Russian is the opposite. The instruction manual is simple and easy to follow but to master it in living practice, you have to be a drunken retard who hates humanity. This is why their fights are so epic.

If you want to learn a language for literature, Russian's as good as it gets.
I already recommended this in the last thread, but check out the New Penguin Russian Course (
https://u.teknik.io/Na0xf.pdf ). Apparently it's the "definitive" Russian textbook for beginners. I think Moscow State University has a free online course for self-directed students as well, but I've yet to look into it. Lastly, use Anki, if only a little. It's got this great feature for easily adding audio files from Wiktionary of native speakers pronouncing individual words. Duolingo is fine too.
>>642290 Yeah, German's easy as an English speaker. Tons of cognates, pronounced as it's spelled (in Hochdeutsch anyway), and the grammar's pretty straightforward once you get used to it. Russian is almost wholly alien to me as an Anglo. FSI says it's is about twice as time-consuming as German for a native English speaker to learn.

Kind of seems like you're engaging a "different part" of the brain so the wires aren't that likely to get crossed. I can't say I've had problems yet. On the other hand, I type like a wild animal in English (95 wpm tho) because I taught myself to type as a little kid. Russian's the only one I try to touch type with. I guess it isn't necessary if you don't plan to type much in Russian. Actually I started learning it for Anki exercises because I have to consciously think about the word, how it's spelled and pronounced, when it's easy for my brain to dismiss it as a vague collection of consonants with a vowel here and there. Might just be me though.

The old soviet theory about the origins of the Cossacks says that originally they were just peasants (krepostniye / kholopy) who wanted to escape serfdom and started living in the steppes and then became a special military class of Russian empire.
There are many other theories Lev Gumilyov (father of modern eurasianism) claimed that they were originally christian kahazars. There are also many theories that they come from scythian and turanic tribes.

When it comes to Revolution, and Civil War in media, it's always Lenin is german/british/french/etc spy, Communist seized power illegally, they want to destroy russian nation, bc all communists are russophobic, also they are jews, whites were right etc. 30s are even worse in this regard bc ebil stalin now has institutionalized genocide of russians(collectivization and industrialization), destroyed the best of nation by purging intelligentsia, and building gulags, making soviet citizens a dumb kettle. GPW is more delicate case, and i suggest to watch BadComedian's video on Company of Heroes 2 Story, it's not actually that far from plots of movies produced by russian government. 60s 70s 80s - far less represented in dark light, but still there is evil Shadow of the Party and KGB at all times haunting the heroes.

>>669802 every nationalist uses x-phobia as argument. but russophobia really exists. currently it is weaponized by NATO.
as for the "bolshevik russophobia", nationalists often mean by this the "korenizatsiya (indigenization) policies from 1920s. it is indeed true that it had many retarded moments but it was far from russophobic.
Also, it was fashionable for soviet intellectuals, especially for satiric writers and poets to make smug comments about russian history, russian "national character", patriotism and so on. This behavior, of course, stopped being comme il faut in the 1930s when the patriotism was brought back. (This was the case of poet Demyan Bedny, who was criticized by Stalin personally for such a behavior)

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.

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.

>>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.
