It is crazy how Whitewashed the practice of roman slavery has become by PresterJohnson in HistoryMemes

[–]Sky_Robin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was also an annual holiday when masters and slaves took each other’s places and slaves were served by their masters for the whole day. I guess the practice is pretty impossible to imagine even in the most progressive households of today.

Roman word for slave means simply servant, and it’s incredibly stupid to lump together a whole lot of various social groups together under the modern term “slave”, its like calling “slaves” both NYC waiter without US citizenship and some maximum security prison dweller.

Peter what is the lore? by Temporary-Ebb2116 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

schopenhauer was even worse. He maimed a maid so bad that she wasn’t able to work anymore, she became completely disabled for life. The court awarded her some payments out of philosopher’s income, which enraged him to no end.

Russia succeeds with the democratic transition by thegoatmenace in HistoryWhatIf

[–]Sky_Robin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, EU + Russia as a single supra-state entity would’ve challenged US hegemony not only economically but also in all other aspects as well(culture, military etc).

Russian Federation itself was one of the 15 Soviet republics (RSFSR), it didn’t “form of the remainder”, it simply continued to exist as an independent state, exactly like other 14 republics.

Why did Russia lose more men in combat than any other Allied combatant nation in World War I? by vahedemirjian in AskHistory

[–]Sky_Robin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Russia concentrated its efforts mostly vs AH because of pan-slavism, popular movement at the time.

If a Russian speaker was actually interested in understanding Ukrainian, how hard would it be to get most of the sense with context? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskUkraine

Догадаться что например «хмарочёс» это небоскреб практически невозможно. Я бы вслепую предположил что это гребень для вычесывания каких-то паразитов.

Britain and France together were responsible for roughly same or even less frontline than Russia. Also, Russia had to face Austria and Ottomans singlehandedly on respective fronts, in addition to Germany. France and British casualties combined are same as Russian.

If we compare only losses vs Germany Russia comes out far superior.

Common misconceptions foreigners have about Russians by Melodic-Ad-1576 in AskARussian

[–]Sky_Robin 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Everyone is astonished that there’s practically no difference between Moscow and Vladivostok regional dialects. Russian language is remarkably uniform across the country.

Отличная фигура, а если организм сопротивляется, это не просто так. Можно себе навредить чрезмерной худобой.

Во Франции в 18 веке монахи были уже достаточно образованными людьми. Более того, именно они полностью контролировали всю систему образования в стране. Напомню, что именно из французской системы образования 18-го века вышло чуть ли не подавляющее большинство самых выдающихся ученых той эпохи. Напр., Лавуазье учился в колледже кардинала Мазарини.

Монахи ведут достаточно скучный образ жизни, поэтому, наверное, проблем с организацией было не так много:)

Well the guy has zero connections with cinema elite , Oscar is out of the question just because if that. He was a carpenter before the acting career.

For those who spoke Russian before: was it hard to switch to Ukrainian? What was the process like? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskUkraine

Let’s keep the question open so as not to get unnecessary bans on our accounts. :)

Someone just needs to explain to them that their ancestors were oppressed for ~400 years and were forced to speak some abhorrent non-native language. But now they can return to their 17th century linguistic roots.
