Защищающаяся is kinda a meme word so don’t be intimidated from learning russian, there aren’t a lot of words like that. You can also leave the first ‘v’ in здравствуйте silent.

And how did your day go?

Try to repeat these letters from youtube videos.

‘c’ is just an ‘s’, ‘ч’ is ‘ch’, ‘ц’ is a bit trickier than ‘ч’ because you might be unfamiliar with pronouncing ‘ts’ as a single sound and not just as ‘t’ and ‘s’. ‘ш/щ’ are the hardest consonants to learn because they sound very similar to one another and are essentially just hard/soft version of the same letter that was split into two separate ones, its best to hold off figuring them out until you get palatalization down.

Try to break long words down to syllables and pronounce them separately. Endings often make up 30% of the word and are pretty repetitive, so if you get those down pronouncing the whole word will be easy. Most scary long words are just two words in a trench coat, you just have to recognize them for what they are.

I’ve been learning chinese a little as a third language, i’m not far in it at all but it has been fun seeing random chinese comments and vaguely getting the idea of what they were talking about.

Also consider this your exam: pronounce защищающаяся (zashchishchayushchayasya) correctly. Unfortunately it is just one word without a trench coat.

Lmao what did they do again

It stops loading on the same spot on both.

Well they do seem on board with shooting corrupt politicians, so I guess theres a foothold there

Unpopular opinion but I think the acronym should be dropped entirely, its silly as it is. They should come up with some generalizing name of the alliance that would describe all of its members.

Theres not as much support for USSR or even socialism as you would like to believe. Of course people are not antagonizing it as much as western countries do, but you should also take into account that Russia uses Soviet imagery exclusively as an aesthetic selling point and does not attribute its successes to socialism but rather to the “spirit of the russian people”. Experiences of older people are often dismissed as “grass was greener in my youth” and young people are very much fed distilled anti-soviet propaganda. The great problem with bringing back socialism to Russia lies with general political apathy of the people, getting through it would require rapid and substantial changes of the living standarts, be it good or bad. Best hope lies with China influencing Russian state, otherwise I see no “stumbling into socialism” on Russia’s part without some great disaster to kick off radicalization.

Can you post the cutout in higher resolution? I need it… for scientific purposes.

Can you give me an example of those orders?

And anyone trying to stop the suffering is eeevil~. I seriously don’t know why they thought it would portray bolsheviks in a bad light.

Shouldn’t removing Jesus from his torture device be a good thing? I could never understand the logic behind worshipping the thing that killed and subjected their god to pain.

Its okay not to want to repeat same interactions over and over again. But your response was disproportionate to the actual offence, it is not a good look to be an aggressive party in that could have been a calm, although probably unfulfilling conversation. Now they can just screencap the conversation and post it somewhere lamenting the unreasonable tankies.
