I hope we keep it. It matches the maps I have from 7th grade.
I hope you keep it too. It's been like a decade and I still feel sad that .yu is gone.
_But_ when Yugoslavia broke up, we got Montenegro with .me, which makes me smile.

Removing .su != burning books. I will tell you opposite: we should write in history books the truth about what in realty USSR was and teach children with it so tragedies like USSR never happen again.
Every country has done something terrible to another country. There is not getting around that. And deleting something permanently is very similar to burning something permanently.
.su is for country USSR. That country does not exists any more. And that country have done many bad things to humankind. There are no reason to use it as like USSR exist now too. USSR is a history and lets keep it in the history.

He is not saying that "removing .su == burning books", even though both actions lead to permanent destruction of something, I suppose. > I hope we will NOT keep it. It reminds me how my country was occupied and annexed by Soviet Union. Replace "it" with "history books". You hope that we will not "keep" anything that: "reminds you how your country was occupied and annexed by Soviet Union". By this reasoning alone we s…
>Replace "it" with "history books". I am against even burning history books from USSR that glorify USSR. BUT we should not use those books to teach history now.
In which case it essentially boils down to: X reminds me of something bad, but I am personally OK with keeping it around. Y reminds me of something bad, too, but I am personally not OK with keeping it. All you did was being selective about it, but the underlying reason is essentially the same, you just apply it selectively based on your own values without considering anyone else's.
Although, this does not seem to meet the seemingly only criterion: "reminds me how my country was occupied and annexed by Soviet Union". History books do that, but you do not seem to want to NOT keep them. So perhaps this is not the only criterion, there is something else. What is it? Could it be subjective value? If so, I still think that it is not a good reason to get rid of something because you have not found it valuable AND reminds you of something horrible.

I agree with you about the horrors of the Soviet Union, but if you want people to know what happened, why remove a bunch of highly accessible primary sources?
>why remove a bunch of highly accessible primary sources
I agree with you that we should not remove "a bunch of highly accessible primary sources" .su is not that kind of source. .su "was assigned as the country code top-level domain" and that country does not exists. It is not like picture, book or building. Why should we use it now?

Is that the country where they have torch marches in the capital? Neonazi torch march in Kiev, Ukraine: https://youtu.be/tHhGEiwCHZE
No,the usual suspects - Russian Nazi March in Moscow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP2o13mxRpo

I am from Georgia, not Ukraine. First of all they are Nationalists, not Nazists. I am not supporting nationalist too but anyway that is very different terms even if they can sound similarly. Second I am pretty sure you can find hundreds of real nazist in any country. But even if we suppose that people on video are nazist making inference about country based on minority is very big mistake.

Maybe because it was trendy to starve Ukrainians when the Soviet Union existed?
Ukrainians were not the only ones to suffer from the famines back then. Multiple parts of the USSR actually did. It doesn't seem like a targeted action on behalf of the govt.
>Multiple parts of the USSR actually did.
Yes but not like in Ukraine.

I am not asking to remove based on that I personally dislike it. This is just my personal feelings and position.
But USSR does not exists and there is no reason to keep it. Using it is a kind of propaganda. Its place is in history books and not in the modern internet.
