A polite understatement.

TFW those who once came to patronize and teach us how to behave discover my country is far ahead of their own riven, toxic and hateful societies.
But alas they don't discover a thing since they knew nothing then and nothing now. Just mythologize and exaggerate their own past.

Insighful thread from professor @reinraud
RT @reinraud: When I studied in St.Petersburg, I was surprised by the fact that many people, incl fellow students, used in their speech a lot of words from the Russian prison argot, “Fenya”, and some spoke it quite fluently. 1/9

As the author says, highly unlikely.
OTOH, so what? It would be concerned with its internal conflicts for decades.
Alas, there is just one unsubstantiated sentence asserting a "breakup would be disastrous for international security". Why? How? Evidence?

A fascinating article.
Indeed, if you are concerned about the EU's bizarre inability to sanction key oligarchs and their illicitly obtained holdings, read this.

You'll still end up at the Hague, no matter what you say.
Oh and BTW, because we now have the most modern, humane prisons in Europe (thank you EU), AND because our prison guards all speak Russian, Estonia is the preferred place for the Hague to send convicted war criminals. 😃

Precisely. Does the German government have a clue about the genocide currently perpetrated against the Ukrainian people?
RT @ulrichspeck: Den deutschen Unternehmen Hoffnung zu machen, dass alles wieder so oder so ähnlich wird wie zuvor ist hochproblematisch. Zugleich sendet man nolens volens das Signal nach Moskau, dass wirtschaftliche Interessen den deutschen Ansatz dominieren, was Putin schon immer annimmt.
