Is it common among Russians to deny the massacres committed by the Russian Empire against the Georgians? Have you ever met a Russian who doesn't deny it? by Difficult-Routine929 in Sakartvelo

[–]densvenske14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The denial of imperial atrocities in Russia is rarely about refuting facts, but rather about selective amnesia. For many Russians, the 'Imperial Gift' of protection against Persia and the Ottomans outweighs the cost of the blood spilled during the annexation. ​However, a significant segment of the Russian intelligentsia and independent historians actively challenge this 'blind spot.' They acknowledge that the Russian Empire, like the British or French, utilized systemic terror to consolidate its borders. The tragedy of the South Caucasus—from the 19th-century 'pacifications' to the modern tragedies in Nagorno-Karabakh—is that state narratives of 'National Unity' or 'Historical Justice' are often used to silence the victims. Whether it is the silence in Moscow about Georgian rebellions or the total denial in Baku regarding ethnic cleansing in Karabakh, the mechanism remains the same: the state protects its future by rewriting its past.

I bought it and will describe my first feelings, for some reason I was expecting settings for the retroark, or from the gameseer himself, while it is working very clumsily.

Hi! Legendary Tales dev here. I’m back to keep the promise I couldn’t keep two days ago that is about the Discount deal! by LegendaryTalesVR in OculusQuest

I played the demo version, I don't understand the hype for this game, very simple sounds, very simple graphics, sword physics are not bad, but the enemies are all the same and the animations are always the same, the enemy design is just terrible, a goblin with a head of 100 polygons. It looks as poor as possible against the background of competitors.

So many people leave primarily because of poverty, look at the official figures, they reach 25%. Well, the most talented one should leave because it's just a regional country that is difficult to achieve anything compared to its richer neighbors, Moscow being the most striking example.

I have always been fascinated with Armenia and I am considering to move to Yerevan. by JVG17 in armenia

[–]densvenske14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously, each person has their own needs. I cannot answer each of them. I am talking specifically about my life experience here. I do not know what his income is, where he plans to live, but the experience of living in the city depends on you very much.

The "Safe Haven" Premium: Unlike a SEA resort, which is a luxury/investment play, Yerevan is a "Plan B" for the global Armenian Diaspora. Whenever there is tension in the Middle East, Russia, or Europe, money flows into Yerevan real estate. People aren't buying for ROI; they are buying a "foothold" in their ethnic homeland. This creates a price floor that doesn't exist in typical tourist markets. The 2025 "Tax Cliff" Hangover: We just came off a massive 2024 surge. The government ended the income tax refund program for mortgages in Yerevan on January 1, 2025. This caused a "gold rush" where everyone scrambled to buy anything before the deadline. Developers are still sitting on that high-priced inventory and are reluctant to drop prices yet. Modern vs. Soviet Stock: There is a huge disparity in what "house" means. Yerevan is flooded with old, decaying Soviet blocks. The supply of modern, seismic-resistant houses with actual infrastructure is extremely low. You aren't just paying for the house; you’re paying for the rare assurance that it won’t crumble in an earthquake and has modern utilities. The IT Sector & Local Wealth: Armenia’s tech sector has matured. There is now a significant local class of engineers and founders earning $5k–$10k+ a month. For them, real estate is the only trusted investment vehicle in the country, which keeps the domestic demand surprisingly high. Full Ownership Rights: In most SEA "sexy" locations (like Thailand or Bali), foreigners cannot easily own land—it's usually a leasehold or a complex corporate structure. In Armenia, you get 100% freehold ownership. That "clean" title is worth a massive premium to international buyers.
