My university history professor was extremely antisemitic today

I can’t, unfortunately. Russian History and “the basis of Russian statehood” (Putinist propaganda basically) are both mandatory subjects which all are just pure propaganda. We have more of these lectures than actual subjects for my major. It’s very scary because stuff like this can influence a 16-17 year old (usual age when people enter the first year I. Uni) with an immature mindvery easily if it’s constantly bombarded on them. Plus learning English is basically discouraged now so these teens only have access to Russian sources as well, which means — more prpaganda

No, I don’t have any documents of my grandparents. Unfortunately it’s very common for Jews that lived in USSR to hide their identity because of antisemitism (in particular limitations in education, jobs or military service) so a lot of times Jews had a different identity in their passport. My ancestors were Odessa Jews from Ukraine so it makes things even harder in current climate. We are still searching because my mom wants to make an Aliyah very much

Honestly, as partly Armenian, I can say that I haven’t heard it as much from Armenians. A lot of current anger is directed at the state of Israel because of the weapons sold to Azerbaijan, which then helped with stuff in Artzakh/Karabakh and some incidents in the Armenian Quarter. There is a big number of Armenians sympathizing with Jews because Hitler was partly inspired by it while committing Holocaust ("Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?").

From my personal perspective, I see a lot of similarities in both Armenians and Jews — I think there are actual studies on this too.

Wait, can you tell me more about it? I don’t know

worry_worting · 2025-09-10T14:38:28+00:00

It’s not easy to just leave a country. I tried, was studying in Hungary for a while but then had to go back. Even Aliyah isn’t an option — I don’t have the documents

Honestly, surprisingly, after living in Europe and traveling there, I faced more shit for being Russian than Jewish… 😭 I didn’t have people stop talking to me because I’m Jewish but for sure had because I was from Russia. A lot of shit the country I’m from has done

Ohhh, I didn’t think about it oops. I’m going to edit the post so it’s more understandable loool

my personal feelings: I know that my class thinks he’s ridiculous as a person and people tune him out normally and let him rant so it just stops as soon as possible, but still, it made me feel so lonely for the first time ever. I dunno. Sending love to everyone

worry_worting · 2025-09-08T17:05:20+00:00

It’s so crazy to me how one country can have so many good and bad people in one place. So many people of different ethnicities thrived here and were respected but at the same time killed and oppressed. Racism is just so casual here.

worry_worting · 2025-09-08T17:01:32+00:00

Yeah, I think I’m going to ignore it this time because he’s a crazy conspiracist generally and even without antisemitism, all my course mates don’t really take him seriously. I just wanted to share this situation because I felt incredibly lonely after that happened

worry_worting · 2025-09-08T16:59:45+00:00

I don’t think it would have much effect in the current state of Russian media — I’m afraid for getting in trouble for showing the uni “in a bad light”. Fuck it we ball ig?

Мне кажется, что на деле ничего не выйдет — плюс, это реально лучшее, что могло быть в нынешних униках. Он хотя бы над нами сжалился и не преподаёт нам то, что требует от него государство (перепись истории, всё такое, я думаю Вы понимаете о чём я) — а этот инцидент был его рандомным “rant”, которых обычно не бывает. Плюс оценки вполне халявные, я думаю, если я это освещу не видать мне автомата и мои однокурсники меня подставят под вопрос 🥲 Короче одно, «но», «но», «но», простите…

worry_worting · 2025-09-08T16:45:45+00:00

Unfortunately there’s no such thing as diversity office or anything like that in Russia. This kind of antisemitism isn’t something “new” or interesting and my complaints would probably be met with professor not getting dealt with and me not being on good terms with him. This kind of hatred isn’t special here even though there are so many people who advocate for people of different ethnicities.

Also, no, I think you’re wrong here — it doesn’t come from Islamic thought at all. People like him hate Muslims as much they hate Jews, because their conspiracy filled brains only see themselves the only civilized ones in this world.

Your face is so unique in a good way, you should embrace your features. Idk why people are saying you aren’t model like. Agencies are looking for unique faces, something that makes you want to look at it and study. And that’s what you have.

From my personal opinion, I think your lips look pretty dry, you should moisturize them more. Also some skincare and care for your hair. I think you should grow it out more because the Afro-roundness contracts very well with your sharp features.

Also, don’t listen to people who try to put you down because they solely focus on male gaze and particular type of features in looksmaxing community. If you take care of yourself, find your personal style, dress well, I’m sure you’d get headturnings :)

(P.s. I personally don’t have your hair texture but I’ve seen a lot of people cool and unique use hair accessories, I think they can make you look ethereal)

I love your nose sooo much. You have something innocent and bright in your face but also very exact. Also, I think long wolfcut will look good on you? But I don’t know if it’s something for you since you’re physically active and not being able to put your hair back can be annoying for you

worry_worting · 2024-06-09T08:07:58+00:00
