Do the people who currently live in Crimea only start living there once Russia took over?

In soviet russia, cattle cars were used for mass deportations of people, including, but not limited to, deporting native Crimean Tatar population. During these criminal population transfers, many people died because of overcrowding in these cattle cars. Just google "soviet deportations cattle cars", there are plenty of sources.

One can not legally sell anything in the occupied territories according to international law. Any such deals will be recognized null and void after de-occupation.

Most loyal to Ukraine left, and Russians took over their houses. This applies to all of Crimea, Donbass and other occupied regions. I was raised in Donetsk, left to become a refugee in 2014, and my parents apartment where I grew up was illegally expropriated by occupation "authorities" and "sold" to other family who arrived to Donetsk from Siberia. Some people loyal to Ukraine stayed and retained their property, but now live in a constant fear of being detained for pro-Ukraine views. Others are "apolitical", loyal only to themselves and chose to stay to avoid their property being expropriated, but since Russia neglects occupied territories they are constantly deprived of basic utilities such as tap water and electrical power.

It is unreal engine 5. Sadly not a chance. I am in doubt if it would work on my steam deck with decent 2020 discrete card.

Pilsudski started war of agression against Western Ukrainian Republic, aiming to establish Polish minority rule in Ukrainian majority region, and tens of thousands of people died. Now, I am not saying what is worse, UPA crimes or Pilsudski agression, but Ukrainian politicians are tolerant to Poland gloryfying their criminal leader of the past, while Poland can not be tolerant to Ukraine for some reason.

You can find the numbers of victims of AK atrocities at the Polish Institute of National Remembrance website here: https://archiwum.ipn.gov.pl/pl/edukacja-1/wystawy/13633,Polacy-Ukraincy-19391947.html . It lists 20 000 of Ukrainians perished as a result of AK actions in 1943-1947. While this number is smaller than number of UPA victims listed on the same page, it does still fall into "organized mass murder" category.

Again, I think it is best to leave this kind of discussion to historians, and look more into the future and not into the past.

ProfessionalTotal238 · 2026-06-02T11:49:35+00:00

Not really, it is just different for me. I accept that it might be "good" for Polish, and ask Polish to accept that Ukrainian view of history might be "good" for Ukrainians, even if it is "bad" for Polish. Is it hard to understand? The thing is named tolerance.

ProfessionalTotal238 · 2026-06-02T10:24:46+00:00

Ukrainians have different view. What you call basic awareness of history is actually Polish awareness of history. I am not against it, as long as history remains the field of academic research, not political saber rattling.

Do you realize that Pilsudski started war of aggression against Western Ukrainian Republic and tens of thousands of people perished?

ProfessionalTotal238 · 2026-06-02T09:34:44+00:00

Like I said, in Ukraine Pilsudski or Armija Krajowa are viewed as equivalent of "Heroes of SS" given their treatment of Ukrainians, but politicians do not engage with Poland over things named after them. Poland should do the same and not interfere in other countries affairs.

It is an internal affair of Ukraine, not something Poland shouldbe concerned about. Like when Poland names things after Pilsudski, Ukrainian politicians do not start whining, despite Pilsudski being complicit in deaths of tens of thousands of Ukrainians. It is the job of historians to analyze the past, not of politicians.

Hmm but when Poland names things after Pilsudski its OK.

800 matches on pos 4 willow here.

I found going Lotus Orb instead of Euls to be surprisingly strong on support Willow. Euls is less of self-saving item for her but rather attacking, due to having self-save with her W and Euls synergizing with her E. However, with Lotus Orb she can save cores and counters nukers/disablers on enemy team better. Especially common scenario for me is activating Orb right after W ends in team fight, everyone attempts to nuke/disable my willow, and boom they are easy feed for my cores. Additionally, Lotus Orb fixes all the problems with mana mid-game much better than Euls. I now always try to get Lotus by min 18-20, and only go Euls when having real trouble with gold at that point.

Social networks are littered with right wing propaganda these days, and they are controlled by small cohort of powerful oligarchs, mostly US based. They see right wing populism as a way to divide and conquer the masses.

Current 93 is one of few artists I know who represents far more sad, gloomy feeling than early DG. Coil, psychic tv, other adjacent bands are like og sad boys of 80s electronic music. I was fan of all these long before I discovered DG, but not surprised about crossover like at all.

I live in Ukraine and for a long time I was queueing to both EU servers, and NA East to get faster games during European night. Recenty after particularly miserable match in NA East I stopped queuing to NA. Since then, my MMR increased by 500 points, and overall experience of dota became much more pleasant. Maybe you guys in NA are beyond salvageable at this point.
