Standard Soviet architecture, tbh. Estonia and Latvia are full of these. It doesn't even have to be a church. Any sloping roof from an earlier era would do.
RT @willjennings80: I'm ok with this.

I've yet to meet any uncorrupted person from a country neighboring Russia who thought Russia had an iota of "soft power".
Aside from in Western comparative literature departments, the sole "soft power" Russia has had in the past 30 years has been cash.

Not simple to tell, but important.
RT @twistopherrobin: This fraud story is not a simple one to tell. We start with the Russian/American fraudster and one-time FBI informant, Mikhail Syroejine or Michael Guss: the man who was either the founder or cofounder (via Heritage Equity Fund) of the Russian-controlled Migom Bank.

RT @MacaesBruno: It’s an interesting psychoanalytical phenomenon. Russia spent years hiding its true face with disinformation and propaganda but suddenly a year ago they decided to come clean and be themselves in public too. Like the murderer who wants to be caught

Helme süldi-kantribänd või 80ndate rokk avangardistlikul TMW-l oleks tõeline hitt.
RT @runnel: - et kontserdikorraldajad ei kutsu Tõnis Mäge ega Mart Helmet nt TMWle esinema, on kohutav tühistamiskultuur, mitte vabadus oma ürituse sisu ja esinejaid ise valida ja kvootide põhjal poliitikuid mitte sisse pressida. /3

Quite the contrast between VDL and Le Visionnaire, Emmanuel Le Magne.
One paints impossible castles in the air, with a different architecture in each new “vision”.
The other gets big and seemingly impossible stuff done.
Read it. Impressive. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/03/10/joint-statement-by-president-biden-and-president-von-der-leyen-2/

Fascinating thread on all of those mobik videos appealing to Putin
RT @ChrisO_wiki: 1/ Many videos have been posted by mobilised Russians in the past month, complaining about the conditions they face in Russia's current offensive. Here's a deeper look at their complaints and a major new factor – the role of the Donetsk and Luhansk 'People's Republics'. ⬇️

He *could*, yes, but he’s still got a long way to go to beat Mao’s 1949-1976 run.

RT @dwnews: Xi Jinping could become communist China's longest-serving leader, after he enforced constitutional changes that allow him to serve more than two terms. But he faces many challenges:

This is the same award given to the incessantly and brutally harassed researcher of Russian troll farms @JessikkaAro — and then suddenly rescinded at the last moment by Mike Pompeo when it was discovered she had once said something critical of Donald Trump @StateDept

Quite the threat.
RT @PMSimferopol: Protests against “foreign agents" bill, erupted in #Tbilisi🇬🇪, result in demands for the resignation of the government. We recommend to the georgian people to recall a similar situation in Ukraine🇺🇦 in 2014 and what it finally led to!
