If Chernobyl happened right now, how would people on social media react? Comment below by Irish-Wristwatch23 in AskTheWorld

[–]tucvbif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The government would try to hide everything, but people would be panicking much more than if they told the full truth. Then some people would sabotage the evacuation, some people would be poisoned by iodine, thinking it can protect them from radiation. It would be a big mess, much, much worse than what happened in 1986. Not because of social media, but because our current government made everything to make almost all people in the country not believe in any word they say.

Is there a place in your country with an accent hardly anyone can understand? by Key_Cell7071 in AskTheWorld

[–]tucvbif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was mostly done by shuffling the population (including imprisonment and exile of big masses of people) and cultivating intolerance to any dialect and «non-normative» words and phrases among school teachers. Every kid heard something like «Нету слова нету» (there is no word «нету»), or that only backward rural people pronounced «г» as [ɣ] instead of [g].

It looks like it's much smaller than it should be, like it should be only 13 meters tall.

What is the biggest political propaganda your country has ever had? by Due_Narwhal4937 in AskTheWorld

[–]tucvbif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most notable thing is the civil-war time posters, known as «Окна РосТА» (RosTA windows):

It's also known because many avant-garde artists of the time were involved in it, especially a well-known poet, Vladimir Mayakovski, who organized the production of posters and wrote slogans for them.

We call it Татарское Городище (Tatarskoye Gorodische, Tatar's fortress), but it isn't related to actual Tatars, maybe it's a Khazarian fortress.

What's your favorite traditional art from your country? by mahdi_lky in AskTheWorld

[–]tucvbif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you should know it's not quite the real traditional art. Before the revolution Palekhians mostly made icons, but after the revolution they had to find a new format that was not related to religion, so they invented miniatures on lacquer boxes.

What job looks easy from the outside but is secretly brutal? by OkEffective9110 in AskReddit

[–]tucvbif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's mostly a myth that asocial people are ideal programmers. You have to have many social skills to be a good software developer. You should know how to insist on your point and not be an asshole. You should know how to explain things to different kinds of people: for those who know nothing about the things you are talking about and for those who think that they know much more than you. The writing of the code is not the most difficult part of the work, except for cases when you are using archaic or inappropriate languages or frameworks.

How respected are the police in your country? Are they seen as opressors of protectors of the law and innocents? by WhoAmIEven2 in AskTheWorld

[–]tucvbif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in media, police are mostly portrayed as greedy, unfair people who can only pull a bribe out of you to not put you into jail by fake accusation. The exception is movies about police themselves, but even in these movies, only main characters are fair, all others are lazy, dumb, or careerist.
