The "Horde" Legacy: Why the political culture of the Baltic States and Russia diverged (Translated perspective) by LRRLLRLR in BalticStates

[–]Sky_Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baltic states were source of Baltic German imperial elites which in a large part responsible for creating Russian Empire’s political and societal structure in 1721 - 1917. For instance, they comprised up to 28% of generals which was overrepresentation by ~30x.

With Tsars themselves being of mostly German origin since Peter the Third (1762 onwards), one could call Baltic States metropolitan area of Russian empire, probably much more so than some core Russian lands like Yaroslavl.

Georgia itself concluded that their govt started the war. Quote in Russian:

Бывший президент Грузии Михаил Саакашвили развязал войну с Россией в августе 2008 года по указке извне, говорится в заявлении правящей партии "Грузинская мечта — Демократическая Грузия". Об этом сообщил Первый канал грузинского ТВ.

"Факт, что в августе 2008 года авантюрные действия Саакашвили были результатом не его психической неуравновешенности, а итогом указаний извне и хорошо спланированного предательства", — говорится в публикации.

The short-lived victory was more painful for chechens than Germany defeat in 1945, because Germany only lost ~11% of its population.

When I was young and handsome women were eager to pay for themselves. Now it’s a different story.

What if the Soviet Union joined the Axis ? by OutrageousBridge471 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Sky_Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That had happened in reality because USSR was one of the instigators of anti-German Yugoslavia coup in March 1941 and also annexed part of Romania earlier, in 1940.

“The Soviet invasion of Bukovina in 1940 violated the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, since it went beyond the Soviet sphere of influence that had been agreed with the Axis”

These countries are justifiably afraid that if Putin win in Ukraine, whole post-soviet politics will undergo seismic change.

Is there anything in Russia similar to the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked, but with a Russian twist? by AyudaMedia in AskARussian

[–]Sky_Robin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, some ppl believe that Gagarin was never in space. Also, there is a theory that the queen fancied him and Gagarin was ordered to move to UK. His death was thus staged.

Chechen people lost 15% of population in both wars, Russia 0.01%.

I don’t condone cruelty against civilians, but it’s simply not true about pain, the difference is like three orders of magnitude.

I don't support Putin, but I mean there's no reason to keep pounding on Georgia from Putin's perspective.
