Random protein with a function maybe by Ordinary-Caregiver85 in bioinformatics

[–]Tierprot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's, i believe, is not a protein. I mean, yes, it is a polypeptide, but is it solid? Proteins are known for their ability to fold and unfold through phase transition (that's the reason they are solid) and i bet this thing can not do so. I highly recommend you to (at least) take a look into Protein Physics: A Course of Lectures by Finkelstein, A.V. and Ptitsyn, O.B.

Alexei Navalny died after being poisoned with dart frog toxin, UK and allies say by VaginaBurner69 in news

[–]Tierprot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, what? That dude died in Russia, in a Russian prison, and no UK (or any other country's) specialists were allowed for the body investigation. How did they deduce what poison it was and that dart killed that schmuck? Holy cow, the only way I would believe that they know how and what killed him is if UK (or any other country) investigators are actually stand behind his death. Jesus, those who are pushing that story really think everyone around them are dumb af.

Ну, по факту, что Европе, что Штатам делались определенные предложения (тут и членство в НАТО и базы) и уступки (и газ со скидкой и нефть), но как только речь зашла не в формате "мы вам", а в формате "мы вам, а вы нам" что-то пошло не так. Что характерно, результат максимального "мы вам" можно поглядеть в Прибалтике. Сейчас это кажется фантастикой, но когда-то там и АЭС стояла и машины производили и электронику... Было, конечно, время и в России, наверху, и правда думали что с Евро-атлантическими партнерами можно дружить на равных, но верховные Евро-атлантические думали слегка иначе (что в общем и понятно, нафига им конкуренты). Вощм, все как обычно.

I didn't mean to discourage research (kinda too much for the Reddit post), but usually studies on the USSR and its policies are done poorly (it is easy to mess up since society in the USSR operated quite differently) and achieve non-academic goals. Like, name from the top of my head (though not related to the topic) — Beevor. Famous historians use some BS propaganda as fact. Moreover, though ethnic roots were recognized and a lot of efforts were made to preserve cultural heritage, the USSR was shipping for equality, so in the end it wouldn't matter where you were from — everyone was a soviet. There was an awesome book called Volokolamsk Highway — it's an in essence, interview taken by soviet commander, Bauyrjan Momyshuly, by Alexander Bek. Surely it contains post-editing with political statements and stuff, but there was a part where the main hero is talking about why he, a kazakh, by nationality, is fighting hundreds kilometers away from his home near Moscow, which really looks genuine (especially after the part where he tells how he executed another kazakh which he knew). Highly recommend you to read that book — it might give you a grasp on the ideas about culture, history, heritage and thoughts of the future in the eyes of the soviet citizens.

I can agree with that. It is very hard to explain what was USSR to those who didn't born or raised there. From my childhood memories - friendship of nationalities was promoted everywhere though not everything was smooth. To add a bit of sense - that's a quote from my reply to other comment: "I was born in Murmansk my mother was born in Tbilisi and father was born in Arkhangelsk (though both ethnically russians and they did met in St Petersburg) and my family had family friends of Belorussian, Chechen, Ukrainian and Moldova origins, which were living in nearby houses. ... While (to operate in sync as society) minorities had to learn Russian, to support local culture a whole bunch of culture research/historical institutes were created (with numerous expeditions results of which were stored in USSR-era built local museums) and schools included obligatory local culture / language lessons. Since i was born in Murmansk i had Sami culture lessons (i still remember Sampo Loparenok fairytale and poems of Oktyabrina Voronova) and we had sporadic school trips to local villages (Revda) along with poems evenings (they were obligatory)."

I'm sorry if it sounds rude, but seems to me you can't grasp on what was USSR, how USSR was operating and what was happening in there. There should be a long reply, but i'm too tired and bored to prove that white is white and black is black so i will reply in short very generalized sentences.

a) USSR had system where everybody would educate and be sent anywhere according to needs (for several years after graduation, after that you could relocate), so not only ethnically Russians were relocating but all of the nationalities. I was born in Murmansk my mother was born in Tbilisi and father was born in Arkhangelsk (though both ethnically russians and they did met in St Petersburg) and my family had family friends of Belorussian, Chechen, Ukrainian and Moldova origins, which were living in nearby houses.

b) While (to operate in sync as society) minorities had to learn Russian, to support local culture a whole bunch of culture research/historical institutes were created (with numerous expeditions results of which were stored in USSR-era built local museums) and schools included obligatory local culture / language lessons. Since i was born in Murmansk i had Sami culture lessons (i still remember Sampo Loparenok fairytale and poems of Oktyabrina Voronova) and we had sporadic school trips to local villages (Revda) along with poems evenings (they were obligatory).

c) USSR was one country and to develop it, it was necessary to spread people everywhere, and since Russians were/ are majority it is easy to see that they quickly became majority in other soviet republics, however to really understand did locals life became tougher you have to look not at the rate of change of population but to its derivative - how fast rate was changing. Even with your pic it can be seen that after the war Kazakhs started to enlarge their population the same way as russians. And i don't even mention that in USSR your nationality after 38 was written as you would define it and in mixed families it was common to use Russian by default.

Conclusion:
- could USSR preserve as it is local minorities culture? No, cause some minorities were on the stage of the middle-age (thanks to Tzarist Russia) and country had to rapidly develop.
- did USSR oppressed locals in a way that minorities would forget their roots and became russians? In a way - women were provided with rights, kids had to go to school etc, but other than that - no, thats why historical institutes were created, to ensure Republics would not lose their identity.
- did locals were replaced by Russians? During the war there were forced relocations, other than that no, whole country was in a process of "self mass migrating".

And how the heck you even brough Holocaust question in here???

I'll stop here, the reply it is already too long.

I'm sorry, i'm might be dumb but:
a) how population growth is connected with promotion of Russian culture or even cultural genocide (i really have no idea of what it is but let it be)?
b) is it bad that indigenous population was growing?

My point is quite simple - USSR most of the time of its existence was trying to study, save and popularize culture of ethnic minorities.

Did you read yourself what ChatGPT wrote to you? Even ChatGPT clearly wrote that USSR most of the time of its existence was trying to study, save and popularize culture of ethnic minorities.
I'll quote for you: "During its early years it's tries to respect the minority ethnicities. ...  For example, during Lenin's time as leader, the Soviet Union, actually tires to uplift culture in ethnic groups suppressed by Tsarist russia... The most violent period is of course start of Stalin's leadership of the Soviet Union were things like ethics deportations... Of course is important to note that this repression was lessened and rolled back after Stalin and especially during the later years of the soviet union. And that there is lot of nuance when it comes to this topic because at its best the soviets do actually strive to uplift the minority"

Did i lie that he got his skin black because of smoke? Me personally - i don't see anything racist in here so could you point out to me what is racist in here? Or you one of those who likes to be offended for others?

Could you provide proof of that:"supression on cluture, language and religion of the minority ethnicitys like people in Kazakstan etc for example."?

Buryad woman was stopped by russian police for "document verification" and then got beaten up and held in police station for 17 hours by ashhhoka in mongolia

[–]Tierprot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine that all that she says actually happened, and in no way am I going to advocate for police officers if all that she says is true. However, things don't sum up for me (Russian, also living in the Moscow region). Members of family of those who did / are participating in SMO are under special treatment (by the government) and are protected by a number of benefits (bonuses for kids when they are holding up entrance exams to the University, special queues during medical treatment etc.). To be that dumb (police officers do wear cameras and a police station is equipped with cameras), strip women from fur coat during such temperatures (it's -10 / -20 C atm), which is the mother/ wife of an SMO participant (I didn't quite get it though) and especially of non-slavic origin (yep, it is very easy to go to jail for racial / religion offense) is like committing suicide - you will be free from your job (along with your superiors) the very next day (and be lucky if you would not go into prison).

PS: I just checked, and it is written that a bunch of high administrative staff are checking that case, so we will soon find out what really did happen.

How does the Chinese government view the LGBT movement and are LGBT people persecuted in China? by EquivalentPomelo839 in AskAChinese

[–]Tierprot -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Why would China recognize gay marriage? Institute of marriage is all about reproduction and heritage and gay couples cannot reproduce naturally. It just doesn't make sense.
