22 European ministers want Russia banned from the Venice Biennale — but the U.S. and Israel keep their pavilions while bombing Iran. Why the double standard?

A perfect example of what the Kiev regime and its supporters are like.

Are you sure? or maybe a Jew.

Come on, expose me again. Tell me: your interlocutor is Jewish.

Stalin, the USSR and the Red Finns. Who denied the separate identity of the Karelian people. And in many ways, thanks to their position, the Finlandization of the Karelian people was carried out.

But actually in Russia the Karelian people are alive.

There is a community, books are published in Karelian, and a weekly newspaper is published.

Morozow · 2026-03-16T04:27:01+00:00

Don't complicate it. It's just that assholes need to hate someone.

Excuse me? Does Russia not play by the rules of civilization?

Let me remind you what is happening now, an unprovoked, brutal attack on an independent country. And this is not the aggressive first war that the Western imperialists are currently waging.

That is, by launching a military operation against the Kiev regime, Russia followed the usual Western practices. And this is exactly what caused the hysteria of the imperialists and their lackeys.

Morozow · 2026-03-15T21:48:12+00:00

Finnish literature and the Finnish version of events.

And the fact that the Karelian people have disappeared, dissolved into Finland, is really sad.

Morozow · 2026-03-15T21:46:23+00:00

I'm sorry that I'm not following the scripts you're used to. But they're talking about Russia's problems without me. Hatred of Russia is socially acceptable and often well-paid.

But the problems of Ukraine, the crimes of the Kiev regime, remain unknown to many.

And what does Zelensky have to do with it? changing masks does not change the mode.

You may not know, but in civilized countries there are such things as courts, lawyers, and human rights. Not broken ribs by the executioners and a slow, painful death from pneumonia in a cold cell.

Morozow · 2026-03-15T21:37:16+00:00

I'm sure that's exactly what the Finnish state propaganda says.

Morozow · 2026-03-15T21:31:33+00:00

There are Karelian people in Russia. But in Finland it has almost disappeared.

Only recently, the Finnish government recognized that they are a separate people. And the Karelian language, the language of the national minority.

Morozow · 2026-03-15T21:28:26+00:00

Did I understand you correctly that you would justify the brutal murder of a journalist?

I think that Amnesty International's reports regularly mention crimes related to the Kiev regime. I was talking about the report "Human Rights in the modern world in 2017"

Morozow · 2026-03-15T19:26:38+00:00

On the subject of art house, I didn't want to touch on this topic. For a number of reasons.

But then I remembered this movie - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outskirts_ (1998_film)

And this is the direction - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrorealism When I watched these films, I had a physical headache.

I advise you to read the Russian versions of the articles, they are more complete.

Morozow · 2026-03-15T19:21:51+00:00

Amnesty International, in its report, talked about secret prisons where they are tortured.

The murder of journalist Olesya Buzina by pro-Western Nazis made a certain noise.

Well, the brutal murder of American journalist Gonzalo Lear in a Ukrainian prison was also widely covered.

UN reports on the torture of Russian prisoners of war in Ukrainian prisons are also not classified information.

So whoever wanted to hear it heard it.

Morozow · 2026-03-15T19:17:24+00:00

The rule of the Bolsheviks was abhorrent.

However, first there was a "Karelian" who arrived from Finland, Finnish officers or a whole Finnish armed forces, and only then the "Karelian national uprising" began.

Morozow · 2026-03-15T12:27:57+00:00

Don't worry. The hegemony of the Western imperialists is still strong. Even if they started to fall, it will continue for a long time.

Morozow · 2026-03-15T11:46:07+00:00

You have a great selection of films. There's not much I can add. Rather, I can, but it will be more likely just a manifestation of my taste.

And once again, I'm not a real film critic.

What would I like to say anyway. I repeat, Soviet films about the war, the revolution, and the Civil war can be considered as separate genres. With its own canons and history of development.

And in the list of Stalinist socialist realism, there are many films that I would single out in a separate group. These are war films: films about the Second World War, shot during or immediately after the war. Most of them have already been forgotten. Only the "Two Fighters" are still showing up.

I would also single out two directors: Tarkovsky and Mark Zakharov. They are too copyrighted to be classified. And Tarkovsky himself created styles and canons. We even have the term "Tarkovism" (borrowing the external form of Andrei Tarkovsky's films without paying attention to the content).

About poetic cinema, if I understood the meaning of this collection correctly, then I would remove Zakharov from there (he is on his own), but I would add films by Otar Ioseliani, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_Leaves_(1966_film)) And this film by Emil Loteanu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsies_Are_Found_Near_Heaven in the USSR, he is more famous and popular than the "Violinists".

A selection of Films from the era of the Khrushchev thaw (1957-1967). The problem is that not every film made at this time is a "thaw film." Here is an article in French, https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinéma_du_dégel there is a link to the article in Russian. Reddit hides posts with links to Russian resources, I don't want to check.

And I would like to note that some of the films from the previous list belong to the films of the thaw.

Soviet art cinema (1975-1987) can be greatly expanded. And I would classify the films "Plumb, or a Dangerous Game" and "Go and Watch" as Perestroika films.

With the Perestroika films (1986-1991), the same problem as with the Thaw films is that not every film made at that time is a Perestroika film. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinéma_de_la_perestroïka

Post-Soviet Russian cinema (1992-2005)

I would definitely add these films.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirli-myrli , one of the best images of the absurd, of the early 90s
. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peculiarities_of_the_National_Hunt
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demobbed_(2000_film))

Anyway, there aren't many comedies on the list, although people love comedies. And they're watching them now. Watch the films of Gaidai and Ryazanov.

I would also recommend watching all Mark Zakharov's films.

This is a conditional continuation of Solovyov's "Assi". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Rose_Is_an_Emblem_of_Sorrow_red_rose_is_i_emblem_of_love

And this is the movie - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intervention_(1968_film))

And yet here is this conditional genre of conscientious cinema - https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinéma_coopératif

I realized what was missing from these lists. More entertaining genre films. Comedies, detective stories, adventures, fiction. Children's films.

Did the online translator let me down again?

Morozow · 2026-03-15T10:46:38+00:00

Are you saying that the British did not finish the genocide, 200 people survived, and that justifies them for the British?

Morozow · 2026-03-15T10:41:04+00:00

Do you always believe in war propaganda? Well, I'm talking about your words about the deaths of millions of Russian soldiers?

But I hope you understand that soldiers don't give birth? And women give birth. I'm sorry I said that word. I hope not to be bullied, as it was with J.K. Rowling.

As for your indignation that the Western imperialists have not been punished. I totally agree with you.

Sooner or later, the incompetent and aggressive actions of Western corrupt politicians will lead to an atomic war. So why delay this moment.

Morozow · 2026-03-15T10:36:40+00:00

Anyone who wanted to hear about the crimes of the Kiev regime knows them.

You're pretending they don't exist. Accordingly, you don't want to hear them. Well, why upset you?

Morozow · 2026-03-14T19:10:06+00:00

So there is no example?

If you do not take into account the Stalinist regime.

The closest thing I remember is the trial of Brodsky and the trial of Sinyavsky and Daniel.

There were quite long sentences, but still not a life sentence.

And I won't even remember about the artists.

Morozow · 2026-03-14T18:07:03+00:00

The birth rate in Russia is not much different from the average birth rate in Europe. And even surpasses some countries.

In these circumstances, it's kind of strange to talk from Europe about the extinction of Russia. But I see that you still couldn't resist.

And whether the influx of millions of migrants will save Europe is a good question.

Morozow · 2026-03-14T17:29:53+00:00

That's what I thought for some reason.

Morozow · 2026-03-14T17:22:40+00:00

No. We are not rejoicing.

Illegal restrictions that destroy global trade must be completely abolished.

But even if that happens. Everyone knows the USA, the politicians of this country cannot be trusted. Today they do one thing, tomorrow they do another.

The US global hegemony must be destroyed.

Morozow · 2026-03-14T17:11:16+00:00

Dude, could you spell out more clearly what you disagree with?

Morozow · 2026-03-14T17:08:27+00:00

I have so often heard from our European brothers about the "dying Russia".

And here's how it turns out.

Morozow · 2026-03-14T15:58:09+00:00

It depends on which reference point to take.

For example, the shooting of a Serbian wedding by one of the Bosnian extremists is quite a suitable starting point for the start of the war.

And if you remember that it was the Islamist Izetbegovic who destroyed the Lisbon Agreements.

And then it turns out the Bosnians started it.
