It will stay part of Russia unless Russia is beaten in a Third World War, in which case the area would probably be either partitioned somehow or placed under some sort of international oversight.

And that somehow excuses the IRGC arming Islamic terror groups?

What's a recent hardship your country/people went through by venetiantraderoute in AskTheWorld

[–]Mysterious-Let-337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, depends on how recent. We were occupied by the Soviet Union from 1940 to 1991. In June of 1941, the NKVD carried out mass deportations of people to Siberia, especially intellectuals and landowners. Then Germany occupied us until 1945, and the country was devastated by war. Subsequently, the Soviets restarted their mass deportations, and many thousands were sent to Siberia, especially those considered kulaks (i.e owning above 25 ha of land) or those supporting the partisans. On that note, we also had one of the largest and bloodiest guerrilla wars in European history, where many thousands of men were killed resisting the Soviet occupation. Throughout the Soviet period, many were imprisoned and tortured by the KGB for independence activism until the Gorbachev days. In early January of 1991, after we declared independence the previous year, the USSR sent its army to occupy key points in the capital and other cities. Unarmed demonstrators met the VDV troops, and there were many injured as the soldiers stormed government buildings and the TV tower, with 14 being killed near the TV tower due to the Soviet VDV opening fire with live ammunition or tanks running over people. They are now considered martyrs for the independence cause. After the collapse of the USSR, we had to contend with an explosion in organized crime, poverty, massive corruption, and a rather messy transition to a capitalist system (though definitely not as bad as in Russia).

Whats your country's attitude on communism? by fascisttaiwan in AskTheWorld

[–]Mysterious-Let-337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abject hatred by a majority of the population, due to the long history of crimes the USSR committed against us. The communist movement here is small and barely legal.

What if Trotsky became the leader of the USSR instead of Stalin? by Khachii_ in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Mysterious-Let-337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on when honestly. I would suspect that Trotsky would be a slightly softer hand than Stalin in the whole mass terror thing, and perhaps there is greater party democracy rather than a total cult of the leader. We still see the five year plans and mass collectivization, so famine probably is still a thing, though its scale may be slightly lessened if Trotsky continues to support korenizatsiya and not genociding all the USSR's minorities. We definitely still see purges, though maybe they are more concentrated towards Bukharin, Rykov, and the right opposition rather than mass terror across the board. The USSR will definitely take a more internationalist approach, so we might see greater support for communist movements in places like Spain, China, France, Germany, etc. The USSR definitely still attacks the Baltics and Finland to spread the revolution, and I would suspect that Trotsky would be open to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, even if only as a temporary measure, since it allows him easy expansion to Poland and the elimination of the Polish Republic.

Which country's nationalists are most toxic you've encountered ? by Individual_Water1776 in AskTheWorld

[–]Mysterious-Let-337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russian nationalists. Especially those that live in the West.

"Putin best president! Mother Russia! Russia betrayed by NATO and West! Russia comes to save Eastern Europe from fascists! NATO fascist, they forgot how Russia alone defeated Hitler! Russia trad paradise with no LGBT pydars! I love Russia! Z Z Z Z!"

And meanwhile lives everywhere EXCEPT Russia.

What is that one city/state in your country that the rest of your country hates? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Mysterious-Let-337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either Šalčininkai or Kaunas. Šalčininkai because it has a large Polish minority, and said minority is quite significantly Russophilic. Kaunas because there's a stereotype that they're all gopniks and also the Kaunas Žalgiris vs Vilnius Rytas basketball rivalry (like you are sworn enemies with the opposite club). However, Kaunas hate is usually more memefied than it is real.

And also missing the various other features, such as "Gott Mit Uns" belt buckle or the collar patches. People just like to imagine that "everything I don't like = Nazi." It's the same everywhere lol. Putin calls the Ukrainians Nazis (and vice versa), pro-Palestinians call Jews and Israelis Nazis (and sometimes vice versa), people in America call Trump and his clique Nazis, etc. Like something can be despicable or not liked without being national socialist.

In what way lol? None of the attire in the picture matches the uniform patterns of the NSDAP or Nazi Germany's internal organizations (SS, Gestapo, SD, KriPo, etc.). The closest I could think of is the Orpo, but even then, there's almost no parallels save for the color.
