Definitely. I am more concerned with Russian people and our culture, though, than with loyality to a country as a regime plus set of borders. If there was other Russian state, like…

1. I have a family and I enjoy living in a place where Russian is spoken primarily and Russian culture is dominant. 2. Maybe I was like that before 2008 or so. Didn't make a differ…

The atmosphere is totally unhealthy, wages stagnate or fall for most of workers, and there is no optimism for the future. In some areas Russia still becomes a better place to live,…

I don't really know any LGBT in person so it's hard to say. I think nobody will bother you if you stay clandestine. I guess the public opinion in this area is shitty but it is univ…

I'm not planning to leave Russia just yet, due to being a Russian nationalist with a family, but I can sure answer any questions. The trend (or rather, reversal of previous trend) …

> prevented Spain from becoming a Stalinist totalitarian country, Or maybe it would be a flop and something closer to present euro-socialism which Spain ended up implementing anywa…

Yes it does look nice-ish, but this is stage when human-scale disappears. It would look much less bland if it was ten story high and not twenty. Having that coffin to the left does…

It looks passable, but as I have said any Art Noveau building would give more eye candy, and there's a huge number of such building around the world, it's not we praise each and ev…

Yes, her works may be nice when compared to 80s. But if you compare them to the turn of XX century, they don't look so nice. People may smile when zipping along her creations, but …

This is architecture for car drivers who zoom past while burning carbon. Spend more than 10 seconds, it stops looking cool and becomes boring. Yet another example how car destroys …

You could probably start from The Moscow Times, though they are rather softcore. https://themoscowtimes.com/articles/krasnodar-judge-throws-2... Then nobody was sure that this judg…

It's from the Soviet Union, but basically yes.

Apache Ignite is an ACID key-value CP database that does not depend on clock.

At least they do not seem to have oppression by minorities. One important ultra-unreal piece they don't have.

The difference is that you don't just know that it has actually happened, but also you are footing the bill for it. As a Russian I find chinese ultra-unrealism pretty wimpy. We've …

I didn't know you could just skip this bullet point, get away with it. Makes me wonder why we ever did it. After all, "Intellectual Property" is just a way to siphon money from my …

Maybe it's mobile view or something? No banners in text block on my laptop. Some in the right pane, some down below.

It is also an eye-opener that food is so cheap these days you can make more from selling Diamonds mined at 2-3 locations than from selling Wheat grown all over the map.

Nobody knows for sure. Maybe a Syria-style (but ten times stronger) migration from Russia westwards? It is assumed that Syrian crisis started happening when its Oil exports dipped …

Oil and gas are the only reliable Russian exports. Economic pressure on Russia leads to increase of importance of oil and gas sector as other sectors plunge. This leads to more cap…

You can't undo colonialism by suffering communism after gaining independence. You just get 2x of famines, mass executions and freedom impairment. Or maybe 3x since communist regime…

How do you disallow ownership of means of production without totalitarianism? Imagine a person has a small auto repair or sewing shop. They will not give up on profit unless you ra…

Stop praising any non-true communists then, which is basically everyone who tried to practice it.
