@pepel_klaasa After the game, he blamed his own incorrect move on his second, who hadn't foreseen Sindarov's previous move. Not exactly your type.

@Selatrop This will be known next fall

@HautalaRoman Is it on audible? I would love to listen to it!

@ihor_kho Thanks!

@HautalaRoman My congratulations!

@cibiscosisagain @pepel_klaasa I thought Hungarians elected Orbán and his party with a democratic majority

@HautalaRoman @pepel_klaasa Correction: It was Orbán and his cult. The general public does not hold or agree with these opinions. When Orbán said those BS, there was backlash.

I know this song, I heard it before From… Russia :)))

@pepel_klaasa You can always hate the country of your birth. That would be the best option for Russians right now.

If you have some kind of “your own country” or “your own people” – by birth, by citizenship, by upbringing, or by a personal choice – the traits of that country and those people are not something you can pick and choose like items in a supermarket. We’ll take Pushkin but not Soviet propagandists; we’ll take Victory Day but not the invasion of Poland; we’ll take Navalny but not Putin; we’ll take LizaAlert but not volunteers for the “special military operation”; we’ll take Korolev and space exploration, but not the guards who broke his jaw. You don’t get that kind of choice with any country. I don’t have a choice either about whether or not to be Russian. Yes, I already have two other passports, I speak five languages besides Russian – so pretending to be someone else is not difficult at all. But considering that I grew up there, that my family is there, that at one point everything that mattered to me in life was there, and that this place shaped me as a person, pretending that it doesn’t exist and never did would be dishonest – both toward myself and toward others. And yes, you somehow have to live with that too. And you will have to live with what Russia has done to Ukraine. And with what Russians do to one another. With cowardice and heroism, with meanness and creativity, with cruelty. There is no escape from this for anyone. At the moment when you feel and acknowledge the whole picture – even if there is more bad than good in that “whole” – you gain a small measure of control over the situation. We don’t choose the country we are born in, the time we are born into, or the family we are born into. But whether to open our eyes and look, or to close them – that is our choice.

@DrMichaelBonner This is probably a misspelling of “Gor[od] Kuiav” = the city of Kyiv. See Bolshakov's Russian translation (p. 74) klex.ru/16z1

I guess 'ghūrkūmān' is related to, or a corruption of, the Crimean Tatar name Merkuman or Merkerman. Does anyone know about this and/or what either name means? Any relation to the ethnonym 'Cuman'? Dicat qui potest!

@GirkinGirkin Отсылки к книге Селезнева, который собирает деньги для оккупантов начиная с 2022 года

@pepel_klaasa In 1999, one monk of the Valaam Monastery claimed that he had a photo of him and that it was bleeding. He even showed me that photo at the entrance to the monastery, but at that moment it was not bleeding.

Nicholas II: canonized as a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church Also Nicholas II, according to his own diary: •“Went for a walk and killed three crows.” (January 25, 1905) •“Walked and killed a crow.” (January 27, 1905) •“Walked and killed 4 crows.” (February 19, 1905) •“Walked, killed two crows.” (March 17, 1905) •“Killed a cat.” (May 8, 1905) •“Rode a bicycle and killed 2 crows.” (May 28, 1905) •“Read a lot.

@pepel_klaasa I used to amaze Italians with stories about how we Finns eat pizza (often with carrots) with milk instead of wine. Those were blissful times.

Every day we stray further from God

@pepel_klaasa Клево, поздравляю!

I’ve always dreamed of receiving some kind of award from school or university, but a mark of distinction found me in the most unexpected way – from the Kharkiv National Air Force University 😅
