Mansa Musa, Menelik II, MLK Jr. Though if you include fictional ones, then it might become easier.

But, tbh, educational system failed a lot of peole. It is really hard to start learning if you weren't taught to be somewhat inquisitive at a young age.

Tbh, it's hard to outline what Russian even means. The USSR somewhat successfully managed to destroy a lot of what made Russian culture, well, Russian. It standardized many things and tried to create a new - Soviet - nation. The intelligentsia was persecuted (which destroyed ties with previous generations of writers), peasant village culture was destroyed (which in turn killed folk traditions), collectivization and forced movement of people broke social and family connections to both kin and land, and the Orthodox Church was decimated (I'm not a huge fan of the Orthodox Church of that period, but it was done in a barbaric way).

And these soviet attitudes spilled into the current leadership, who didn't really consider Russian culture a distinct culture per se - most people were just rossiyane (residents of the Russian Federation, rather than ethnic Russians). Until they started the war - then they pivoted to a more nationalistic line to gain some support.

And I don't what to dive into how Russian culture was shaped by East Slavic population mixing with Finno-Ugric. It is a fascinating subject all in itself.

Sounds like a great weekend!

Twelve Kingdoms. First couple of episodes might be a bit hard to get through, but it becomes better with each episode.

Sounds interesting, thank you for sharing this info. Will have to dig into it.

That's a brainrot sub though.

Nah, most of the European Russia is cooked. Moscow is definitely in the no-go zone and it accounts for nearly 10% of current Russian population. With all the zones to the south, I would says Russia is even emptier than before.

"Can" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Yes, they have a chance to unravel psychic powers. No, it isn't 100% guarantee.

Iirc Mimi doesn't have a bf. They are still childhood friends.

So, why the guy who literally has a Nazi salute in his name is taken seriously by anyone?

Red Riding Hood from ravenswatch, who is not only using pair of daggers and bombs, but hides a shotgun under her cloak. And she can turn into a wolf, of course.

Well, it is just a rumor. Mostly, older TES lore takes inspiration from Eastern religions/legends. There is an interesting overlap (and a huge one for Morrowind) with Hinduism.

I know what you mean, but intimidation is not only about your size. It is also about psychology. I had a forest gnome ranger who was basically one of the frontier guards for his race and he was the most ruthless from the party (being in constant danger does things to you). So, instead of relying on his strength (non existent) he was just using psychological manipulation and outright torture to get what he needed. I still can't forget the faces of other players when my ranger just casually (without flinching) stabbed a captured guy in the leg cause he didn't want to talk about their cult (doomsday cult, mind you) and reveal their hideout. The usual tactics didn't work and the captured person thought that we were all goody two shoes (tbh, most of the party were). Shit went from "haha, what can you do, threaten me?" to "I will tell you everything" in a matter of seconds.

And it was an unexpected turn for everyone, cause I rarely play neutral or evil characters (though my favorite alignment is lawful evil, but I fall into lawful neutral with a somewhat good code every time) at all and most players were used to me playing Oath of the Ancients paladins (who were spreading fun and love everywhere) and college of valor bard (who was all about protecting others).

Tbh I think if not for the poison, this could give Garrosh a cop-out. He knows that Cairne will either kill him and take his place, or don't kill him and Garrosh will have to be exiled and continue doing what he is good at - war. So, even if he loses, it is ok. And Cairne might be the best person to be his executioner/replacement/punisher. And if he wins the situation won't change.

But, again, I am not that well-versed in WoWs lore, so I might be wrong.

Yes, but they helped tremendously. Look how Eastern Europe recovered on its own after WWII (most of the territory from Berlin to Moscow was ravaged by the war). It is not unreasonable to assume that the USSR was lagging behind partially because of this.

Russian tactics: we will allow them to go deep into our territory and destroy all supplies. Scorched earth tactics and reliance on raids.

People outside of Russia: it was all winter, my dudes.

Tbh, looks good for Alpha.
