  1. I am anti-war and I live jn Russia. My university forbade me from taking any grants as a part of their organisation cause of some old social media posts. I work as a researcher. Yeah... I don't know what will happen after Putin is "re-elected".

  2. I am 28 and live in Russia all my life and things have been steadily getting worse and worse since at least 2010. Nothing new. I expected one day it could be this bad I just didn't think it would happen so soon

  3. ​ @voodoochile333  there is no socialism in Russia, so what is the point of socialists moving to Russia?
    123
  4. He probably is mad he isn't allowed to say homophobic slurs in Canada without being criticised
    123
  5. And then you get Russian salary of 300$ a month...
    105
  6. I wonder why does police in so many countries act like they are not people like us. You lose your job, or retire - and become a regular citizen, like others, and then corrupt government you protected can treat you as bad as anyone else. Then why protect it? It only uses you, until it can discard you
    95
  7. Yeah as an ethnic Russian, I see how other ethnic Russians act. And they tell me what they think, cause they think I'd agree with them 😂
    88
  8.  @noop9k  most educated people know that original communist ideas have little to do with totalitarian centralised system, which existed in USSR. Thus they support democratic socialism, and don't support the ideas of returning the Soviet system.
    84
  9. I study in SPbU, and I still live in dormitory being a 27-year old PhD student. I started living in dorms at 16. I had 2 gap years in between though, when I went back to my hometown. But yeah, almost 11 years living mostly in dorms. I have lived in 5 different ones. Current one probably has the best conditions of them all. My dorm is around 60$ a year
    71
  10.  @jeanclaudejunior  yeah, but "holodomor" policy of Stalin wasn't limited to Ukraine. Claiming it was directed only at Ukrainians is simply a distortion of facts
    64
  11. Also one of three people is Russian
    60
  12. Russian national idea was based for a long time on WW2 and "we are the winners against n---sm" which could give people a feeling that "we can do no wrong". Israel's national idea was based around "we were the victims of n--sm" and this could give them the same idea that they "could do no wrong". When a person or a group start believing that they can do no wrong, they commit the worst crimes
    58
  13. And tourists in Tallinn 😆
    49
  14.  @taterkaze9428  I can't. Or rather say that I am too scared. My social anxiety is huge, as well as regular anxiety and depression. Due to my mental health problems I won't be able to adapt somewhere new where I am alone. Recently I have even thought I soon will be unable to work at all. So far I can though
    47
  15. Of course, it is much better to stay at the orphanage and start smoking and drinking at 10, and become a typical gopnik by 16. A dream!
    43
  16. I was 6 when he became president, now I am a PhD student, and he still is, and he probably will still be in 15 years from now 😟
    39
  17. especially considering that RYE is more historically common crop in Russia and other North-East Europe. Wheat is ironically more Ukrainian, because its climate is better for wheat than 99% of Russia
    39
  18. As always poor people suffer. Oligarchs will get away or be able to save most of their property.
    38
  19. Well, in Chechnya it is just like in the Middle East.
    36
  20. It is an exagerration. Only villages and poorest towns look like third world. or a stereotype of third world which we usually imagine. Most middle-size and large towns are OK. ALthough there are exceptions
    32
  21.  @vainezas  The situation in Russia now and Ukraine in 2014 is very different, as situation in the USSR was different between 1970s and 1989. SO you are not comparing similar things. You don't know,see and feel the situation here. I get it, it is hard to understand for someone who lives somewhere else about all the nuances and WHY it is hard to "just unite and go on the streets". But then don't talk about what you don't understand. Also mind that people who do support Putin are as numerous as the ones who don't, and all those who have ANY money and power are on his side. It also wouldn't even progress to 1% population entering the streets at the same time. That needs to be coordinated, and the FSB would put a stop to it long before any crowds on the street. Again what is even your suggestion to a single person like me? If I go protest, I get arrested immediately before even 1 person oins me. If I attempt to coordinate protest before hand to many people, I would get arrested even before we can go. What is a viable solution? Again, it is like you don't get that we anti-Putin Russians are not a hivemind, and can't just immediately put an idea into the heads of others and each other
    31
  22. @Anton Pogorevici fun fact, some hetero-pairs of alcoholics and addicts are exactly like you described
    30
  23. To be honest, yeah that is not that high of a standard either. Human species is pretty terrible
    30
  24. I am from Russia, and still in Russia, and not planning to leave. I can say I don't approve of generalizing all Russians, but here in Russia there are so many people who at the same time whine when they are generalized, for example when EU restricts certain right of all Russian citizens, but have no problem generalising other people from other countries, like supporting banning all immigrants from Russian schools, just because some of them act badly
    29
  25.  @reddawn1873  yeah dude sure, as if other countries didn't do that? improve the lives of people. Without repressions and other bs by the way. Also I am not obliged to dox myself to give you any "evidence"
    28
  26.  @vainezas  yeah ask older people why they didn't "just go and get their freedom like ukrainians in Maidan" some time in 1960s or 1970s. And where the ones who attempted so, ended. Again, if you don't see the difference between Lithuania in the end of 1980s and Lithuania in 1960s-1970s you would be delusional. Same with Ukraine and Russia
    26
  27.  @sodiumvalproate3936  tankies exist everywhere unfortunately
    25
  28. Oh yeah, I love me some ethnically homogenous country with more than 150 ethnicities...
    24
  29. He is already abroad as I know
    24
  30. Kaliningrad is currently the last of the Baltics, it is firmly in the Z tier along with rest of Russia
    23
  31. In the regions with other titular nations they were preferred, in regions with no other titular nations Russians were preferred. For example, being an ethnic Finn in Leningrad region or in republic of Karelia would be a totally different experience. Some of them even had been listed as ethnic Russian in IDs against their will in Leningrad region. One Inkeri Finnish actress told a story like that. "This is Leningrad region, here Russians live" the woman in a passport office told her. All that applies mostly to RSFSR, btw, different parts of it
    23
  32.  @mopmap4911  my dorm room looks like an ok studio apartment, and it also costs max 60$ a year. I am in Saint Petersburg
    20
  33. Try parts of Northern Siberia, where you don't have roads at all, only rivers and public transport in form of crappy old almost-falling-apart small planes to reach many settlements
    19
  34. Probably a white supremacist... Tell him to move somewhere to Yakutia and start spewing his white nationalist bs there... How long until he we lose all his teeth?))
    18
  35. It still what we do often in many Russian cities, when the hot water is out for 2 weeks in the summer when the system is being repaired
    18
  36. Or as a Russian in Russia 😂
    18
  37. This is human psychology 101 - contradictory beliefs, confirmation bias, in-group bias and denial, denial, denial...
    17
  38. Imperialism is everywhere. Except they see only western type of imperialism. Russia was always imperialist too
    17
  39.  @GSG-io8zp  it wasn't. USSR never even had communism, they didn't even claim to, they claimed they had "advanced socialism" and the party constantly promised to build communism by certain date. What about time periods, Civil war and Stalinism were worse, but duh, war, and Stalin was very reactionary. The late USSR, after Stalin's death, was much better than Russia before the revolution
    16
  40. My parents said there were two attempts to steal something from their car, like parts and such, in te last several months. That is insane! Our town never had much crime, and now it is rising like that. Town in the north-west of Russia
    16
  41. That is not really serious dude
    16
  42.  Gleb B. / Глеб Б.  if you don't vite, your voice is not heard at all, then they don't even have to steal of falsify it, and win much more easily. It is a myth that they care about the amount of people, which come, they care only about having more votes "for" than "against".
    15
  43.  @kbitinevs  20C is ideal temperature
    14
  44. Yes, it is mostly old people who watch only TV, who support it

  45. Я вот хочу пережить всё это и радоваться, когда бункерного наконец закопают
    14
  46.  @kostam.1113  lol talk about denial
    14
  47. And in Russia it is easier to get into a free place, in my biological faculty of Saint Petersburg uni, almost all students study for free, and dormitory costs 5$ a month
    13
  48. Mmm.... People of Belarus care! There were also protests in Russia to support Belarus
    13
  49. Those dachas are far from cities and jobs, many have very old houses, and located in settlements, which don't have permanent water supply and central heating cause those dacha settlements were made specifically for summer habitation and gardening not for permanent living. In our dacha, for example, the house is heated with small incredibly old fireplace, like ones which existed in old old trains (my grandpa worked on railway and brought one when it stopped being used there), so we need wood for heating, and the house is old and badly constructed, so it is warm enough to live only in the summer, and sometimes not even the whole summer, plus in the winter the only water supply is the well, and the year-round store is far away, and the railway station is far away and the city is even further away... Well, you get the point
    13
  50. And actually there are laws that prevent nowadays gays from adopting in Russia. It is not something that should be written right into the constitution, there are separate laws. Now they seem to want to write everything in the constitution itself 🤦 As long as most population in Russia is more or less homophobic, laws won't change, it is not like suddenly gays will be able to adopt for no reason. Only if most of the population becomes accepting of it, then laws will change, and then the remaining homophobes basically will be terrified too, but it is not like they will have right to dictate to the rest of people
    13
  51.  @emib6599  you know what happened in Belarus after 80% of population voted against Lukashenko and then half of Minsk protested for months? Oh yeah, they got beaten up, some were killed and Lukashenko is still in power
    12
  52. Some dorms don't have them. But they can always be "introduced" by someone moving in from a worse dorm. That happened recently in the dorm I currently live in
    12
  53.  @ВладКириченко-г1ц  yeah bed bugs are a nightmare
    12
  54. ​​ @thepublicpotato3887  such a generalized bs, people like you always try to force your ideas of meaning on others. Plenty of people not married and without kids who told me they don't regret it at all. Plenty of parents regret having kids. And yeah I am extreme introvert, I love returning to empty quiet house LMAO 😂😂😂 Living with other people is nightmare! And I don't focus on money or career either, you just believe in false dichotomy
    12
  55. Most "libtards" are just reasonable people. Stop watching right-wing propaganda, and maybe you will see it
    11
  56.  @thischanelnolongerexists9041  Caucasians do count as separate in Russia. They are not seen as European/white, especially muslims from Caucasus.
    11
  57.  @Insert-Retarded-Reply-Here  I would love to get out, I even know where. but I can't (( I also have old parents and I love visiting them often. I can't imagine being far away from them, or even close but across the border, which is now getting harder to cross
    11
  58. TwXtter
    11
  59. ​ @thepublicpotato3887  what? So being aro/ace equals nihilism now?
    11
  60. Yeah. In Russian "natsionalnost" means ethnicity.
    11
  61. Lol true. They turned my cousin into Karen. First she was only into MLMs, now she is also an anti-vaxxer 😑 after having a kid and starting to interact with other crazy moms, obviously
    11
  62. she is Ossetian I think. They ain't Slavic
    11
  63. Yeah not far from where I live in Saint Petersburg, rather close to the centre, they couldn't clean the dead pigeon's corpse from the sidewalk for week. It happened this autumn. After that when I see that there are Russians who say EU is dirtier I facepalm🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀
    10
  64. No, mostly already... 12th time, I guess
    10
  65. ​ @nexypl  indeed, the predisposition to generalize the out-group is literally in the very human nature, hard wired in the brain. But I can't help but be disappointed every time when I see people supporting discrimination because of it
    10
  66.  @MrRandomguy64  well the trip to Finland feels the same to us 😆
    9
  67. You're wrong, legally Britain belongs to native Celts, English illegally occupy the land, and should totally submit to native rule or go back to Saxony and Jutland 😂
    9
  68. Because they care about their own countries? What is more crazy is how official Belarusian media doesn't report on protests, only alternative media does
    9
  69. Yeah Russian empire g---cided a lot of ethnic groups in those imperial times. "Peaceful colonization" of Siberia is the dumbest lie in this country
    9
  70. Serbians were always crazy. I as a Russian have always heard how propagandists love them more than anyone else. And then I learned the reasons for that...
    9
  71.  @Pifagorass  that is nonsense. 1. there is clear record of Slavic tribes in parts of modern Russia during Kievan Rus time. 2. Many of prominent cities and centres of Kievan Rus were in territory on what is now Russia, so you can't say that Ukraine is the only country that can claim origins from Kievan Rus. 3. There were non-Slavic tribes in those territories as well and they mixed with Slavs, but I don't see how that's bad or constitutes "stealing an identity". Are you a far-right person and belive that ethnic mixing and multiculturalism is bad?? 4. "Mongolian empire mentality"? As opposed to European mentality of stealing colonising, enslaving etc. all other people in the world for 500 years? Seems like you did in fact buy into far-right racist and Eurocentric lies of portraying Asia as bad and EUrope as good. In reality all worst features of Russia stems not from such ancient history, but from its imperial times, in 18-19 century, when Russia was just a typical European empire, which colonised, killed, enslaved etc. just like all other European empires at the time
    9
  72.  @svjatoslavblokhin1178  exactly, I have seen plenty of Ukrainian nationalists spreading lies that Russians descend only from Finnic tribes, and using names of Finnic ethnicities like "Moksha" as insults towards Russians online. There is foolish propaganda on Ukrainian side too even if it is not as bad as Russian one
    9
  73. Polish isn't hard for Russian speakers. Once you know how different letters and diphthongs are pronounced, it is super intuitive. Most people just don't bother to look up how letters are pronounced in different languages

  74. Also, RIP pigeon. poor bird. I think it is tragic how many birds die due to car-dependent city planning. Not to mention pets, and people

  75. Solovyov is so hated almost everyone on the internet calls him "bird poop"

  76.  Letter A  "č" also exists in Karelian, I think

  77. That is what I noticed long ago

  78.  @susanabraga9773  Kaliningrad was part of Russia since 1945. How is that relevant?
    8
  79.  @snowsnow4231  stop spreading bs about Russian women. Not all seek your stupid sexist western men, who want "submissive wives". Lol nowadays most Russian women who actually move abroad do it through finding a job or education, not marrying
    8
  80. ​ @ArminiusGroß  or maybe you are uninformed and biased?
    8
  81. Oxytocin makes people more empathetic to the "in-group" and less empathetic and more hostile towards the "out-group" so having less oxytocin makes you LESS likely to be biased and tribalistic actually. I am pretty empathetic person but I think I have low oxytocin, cause I have never fallen into any sort of xenophobia, even though it is common among people around me, and I even reject anthropocentrism (valuing humans more than other complex animals)

  82. В российских новостях по ТВ тоже почти ничего, кроме обвинения Америки и Украины в организации "майдана" в Беларуси 🤦🤦🤦 в официальных беларуских СМИ вообще ничего не говорят...

  87.  @isabelgeddeshines4059  well my parents are old and can't speak any other language. And other relatives I am not close to and they aren't going anywhere anyway
    7
  88.  @paulgooderham  actually many people like doing outside activities in Russia in the winter. Walking, skating, skiing, winter fishing etc. Maybe you are so scared of temperature below zero, that you wouldn't, but many people enjoy it, even go 100 km away on suburban trains on weekends to do that in the woods
    7
  89. Meanwhile, I am a Russian anti-theist, and if someone was talking about "Orthodox brotherhood", I would use a pepper spray
    7
  90. The smaller amount of people the better. Iceland is one of the best place. It has only 300 k people, and is and island far away from others.

  91. Dude, if you think what Venezuela has now is actual socialism, you are wrong. More like political authoritarian elites using the disguise of "socialism" to come into power and do what they want

  94. Make also a video about Asian Russians, preferably indigenous Siberians and their perspective, that would also be super interesting
    6
  95. Where you think Chechnya would be?

  96. I guess some ancient Siberian genetic markers are labelled "native american" cause that is where they are most frequent, but they originated in Siberia and then some people carying them left for Americas, and some travelled west to Europe
    6
  97. Absolutely. Can relate 100%
    6
  98. ​ @Danietz  you seem to base division between developed and developing on race
    5
  99. People will use any situation to justify our most disgusting instinct - to divide people into in-group and out-group and hate and generalise the out-group. Once you learn how this system works in your brain, though, it becomes easier to identify this behaviour in yourself and stop it 😊

  100. Why would you pay for anything for your brother? Let the parents pay for his stuff, they decided to have him, not you

  101.  @ohajohaha  It is contradictory to the core ideas of socialism. Basically like all ideology that Stalin constructed, and which then later proliferated in later USSR and Soviet bloc
    5
  102.  @nikita_tkachuk  most of them haven't been. If you read the law about this voting. Only cancelling Putin's former times as president will probably be accepted anyway, but other extensions of his powers as president... No
    5
  103. New words were always adopted from other languages
    5
  104. Yeah, I have no idea why so many Russian speaking people in EU countries like Latvia, Estonia and Germany watch Russian state tv and believe crazy propaganda, but apparently it is a big problem, many people already told the same. I would gladly switch places with them if they like Putin so much 😆
    5
  105. They want to control women, not protect
    5
  106. ​ @politicallyambiguous8424  lmao most of this policy which Putin implements is not popular in Russia, most people just don't decide much. Where is it popular though? Among western evangelicals. Putin took his ideas from evangelicals in the USA in an attempt to replicate GOP's relative success because he thought Russians were way more conservative, but in reality Russians are more indifferent
    5
  107. Yeah, but if all media is owned by few big corporations, it also turns dishonest, and lobbies for certain interests, like in the USA, so watch out, don't let it happen. And thanks for paying attention for issues in Russia
    5
  108. That is why USA has a problem with "missing middle", in many cities it is either single-family homes, which many people can't afford, plus they are located in suburbs with no public transport and no walkable distances to stores; or huge buildings with apartments almost entirely only for rent

  113.  @rnt__  Putin's regime is fascist. It fits almost all criteria of fascism. Navalny has been distancing himself from far-right already for a significant amount of time, also protests are not about him personally, but about general suppression of political freedom and insane corruption of Putin's regime. So STFU, Kremlin troll

  116. Current form of capitalism is a suicidal ideology of endless growth, though, which will inevitably lead humanity to overshoot-collapse trajectory, not to mention extreme economic inequality. Surely, there are different forms of both capitalism and socialism, and thinking that the only alternatives are current form of corporate capitalism or Soviet-type undemocratic socialism is false dichotomy. I am personally a proponent of either democratic socialism or social democracy, both of those are not very common, to say the least

  120. They made a mistake thinking Stalinism has anything to do with actual socialism. In reality it was more like temporary restoration of absolutism plus tyranny

  121. As a Russian person I think the craziest part is that anti-weed laws are very strict while alcohol isn't regulated that much at all, even though there are so many deaths from alcohol related causes here in Russia

  130. Australia does exist? Wait? Do flat-earthers know???

  131. Native American can actually be indigenous ancient Siberian from the times before migration to the Americas. Thosealleles are labeled as "native American" because they are more prevalent there, and because companies rarely sequence DNA from Paleo-Siberian ethnicities. Finno-ugric people have some few percent of Siberian ancestry so it can be from there
    4
  132. Putin doesn't care. They all only use homophobia as a way to become more popular among a large number of homophobes in the country. If most people in Russia suddenly became the most progressive pro-gay rights people in the world, the government would change their ads and policy accordingly. Because the only thing they care about is staying in power and continue money laundering

  138. The things you said about Arabs and their attitude towards Jews, also could be said about Israelis and many people who support them (at least here in Russia) and their general attitude towards all Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims

  139. Don't you mind asking... Where is the statistics about orphans from? Because I have read something, and there the numbers were much lower, apparently only 50 k orphans not yet adopted, rest are adopted or in foster families. (PS. It is still not the worst, India has 20 million orphans, mostly due to large and poor population)

Also some ethnic groups who are seen as white in America aren't seen as white in Russia, like all ethnic groups from Caucasus - Chechens, Georgians, Armenians etc. And I can say as a Russian girl with very dark hair and eyes, who grew up in 90s and 2000s that even that is enough to have some people doubting that you are Slavic. And typical stereotypes "how Slavs should look like" aren't based on any reality, but almost sound like propaganda from 1930s Germany about "true Aryans" lol

People who could potentially be treated, aren't, their medications and conditions are inadequate, and thus their conditions become worse. Also, they sterilise women there. Probably, to hide that their staff is commiting SA, cause you know, severely mentally ill women can't consent. But if they aren't pregnant, noone is going to know that anyone SAed them

The amount of people who simply come has never destroyed any legitimacy, in some regional elections 10% of voters vote, yet everyone forgets about it, and it doesn't destroy legitimacy of a new governor or local parliament. Only more votes against than for can destroy legitimacy or at least not let them win as easily

  254. ​​​​ @sailormoonsdreams  typical "Europe good, Asia (mongols) bad" racist bs. Russia isn't bad cause of Mongols, it is cause it never gave up on colonialism and imperialism. And in 16-19 century other European Empires were just as bad as Russia. They called indigenous people they colonised "savages" while they themselves were way more violent and savage as colonisers and enslavers. What Western and Russian colonisers did to indigenous people on other continents was way worse than what Mongols did. Europeans only used their supposed enlightenment to pose themselves as being more civilised as people they colonised, to excuse the colonialism. Do you know during California gold rush, in 19th century, people were officially rewarded for m*rdering indigenous people, including children? Such an enlightened western culture LMAO I am so tired of this colonial eurocentric myths and pseudohistory

They can have different opinion on Putin's regime though. The trend in supporting Putin during current war comes from the fact that most of them are in a very primitive way anti-American and believe if USA supports Ukraine, then Russia is automatically right. Basically kindergarten level of understanding the world

They want themselves to have free speech, and everyone who agrees with them, but not everyone else, not gay or trans people, not someone who is against their religion, not feminists, not liberals of any sort... Basically reactionaries always had leanings towards dictatorship and fa**ism. And that is exactly the kind of regime we have now in Russia.

  335. The idea that freely travelling between places in the world is not a basic human right, is a consequence of f-ed up way the world works. Centralised power and borders are bad for humanity. We should gradually transition to anarchism and get rid of those relics. Also, centralised power can always lead to dictatorship and wars, because of unequality of how much power an average person has vs a person in power structure. Even in most democratic countries one average person has very little influence. That lady Kallis is giving me bad vibes. She wants safety? Or to increase government control under the guise of current events? It is worrying when such ideas come grom politicians. Maybe she has some authoritarian tendencies herself, just can't voice them

I know cause I am from Vyborg and amount of revanchists from Finland every time when war in Ukraine is discussed or history of Winter war is insane. And even those who are not revanchists usually come from attitude of despising Russians who live now in the territory and thinking it is all basically destroyed cause Russia is doing everything bad. Noone in the discussion ever even considers the well-being and will of people currently living there. Just the hard truth, but even in more democratic and tolerant nations there are plenty of a-holes who fall for nationalism or revanchism.

And I don't protest, cause all that would happen is I would be locked in prison, maybe for 15 years, my mom would have second heart attack; and noone who makes any decision about the war, wouldn't even hear about my existence, so nothing would change.
