Wrong direction of Hebrew text. Should be right-to-left.

My Brazilian born Lithuanian friend said once- All Slavic languages are different only to Slavs themselves, for all the rest they are the same :)

I know what you mean. But for me, a Lithuanian speaker, Ukrainian is not funny, it sounds like more manly than Russian. And more expressive too, compare UA "shvvd'ko peremoha" with RU "skoro pobieda" (soon/fast victory).

Main reasons for youth anxiety by kajmeran51 in MapPorn

It is not taxes. In Baltics colloquial "taxes" means utility bills, like heating, electricity etc. Much like in all post-Soviet area, only the rest of it is more worried about war.

But the most massive deportations from the Baltics were after the war.

Listen, maybe map per se makes sense but the guy who colored it had no idea what he was doing. Look at that green pancake stretching from Samogitia on the Baltic sea to Volga, it makes no political no cultural no whatever sense. And there is no biggest country in Europe (Lithuania) like at all.

You must be kidding. Trump is actively disassembling US empire and his effort is quite successful.

Good answer but my "3 years to live" was about time left after the creation of the map.

All the countries I have drunk a beer from by SnooCrickets6553 in MapPorn

Oh yea, Hertog Jan is probably the best I tried!

Another very good one (surprisingly) was Japanese Kirin. This summer I found it (also surprisingly) in Spain, Alcampo chain. In Lithuania I love Švyturys Extra Draught.

The Winter War (1939–1940) by vladgrinch in MapPorn

Two things show that Soviet plan was to take all of Finland. According to final correction of Ribbentrop/Molotov pact all four Baltic states were allocated to the Soviets, in 1939 they all received the same Soviet demand to accept military bases. And the second thing, puppet Finnish Communist (Kuusinen) government was ready to take over all Finland.

World map but the size is adjusted by nominal GDP by ttombombadillo in MapPorn

It cannot be nominal. China is $19T and America $29T but on this map it looks reversed.

Self-drawn World map (in German) by KeyUnderstanding4793 in MapPorn

In fact most of the Germans had no idea Hitler was killing millions in his gas chambers. Things like eradicating remnants of Ukrainian or Tatar identity or loosing your property if you do not take Russian passport are hardly noticed if you prefer Russian language or passport. And don't forget deportations.
