Indeed 😊

Just an illustration how even the smartest foreign experts understand little of what's going on in Russia.

@@Veronikatino Distance can have advantages and disadvantages. The same applies to contemporaries or historians who judge decades later.

Putin had him killed or in other terms Prigoshin fell from grace. 2 points for Galeotti -1 for Schulmann. But let's frame it otherwise. It wasn't a competition by points. It was an exchange of opinions.

⁠@@juliane__ assassination isn’t the same as arrest. It’s wasn’t an official prosecution and they buried him as a “hero” who made “mistakes” so she’s still not wrong

Вы про Гарика Харламова сейчас?

Russia exports the best for several generations. Expels and destroys, smart, talented noticeable. There are very specific people who survive in such a selection. Ekaterina Shulman is already the force of the global earthly spirit. I don’t know what will happen to us now, in Russia. The state is people first of all. She is with you now, appreciate her, love her like we do. Russian musicians dedicate songs to her, make memes.

@@dr.verbena The temptation to "Broad Brush" condemn any group should be resisted. All, given the right situation, could be vulnerable, occasionally apparently educated, liberals. Though it tends to be the poorer, uneducated, less developed, prone to manipulation, including fear. Describes those with undeveloped sections of all societies.

@@user-pn1kb3hj1m For a long time, even after the collapse of the USSR, access to education was available to almost everyone capable of it. Therefore, people who graduated from Soviet or post-Soviet schools, universities can hardly be considered undeveloped layers or layers that did not have the opportunity for development.

As a Russian, heartbroken with this war, I thank you with all my heart for these words.

Yes, I think she has such a presence. She has the mischief of an imp paired with a rapier wit, the bright eyes of a precociously and highly intelligent child and the posture of an aristocrat. Really great dress sense, too. I mean it all as a compliment, of course :)

I’d wear that shirt. Schulman is a bit of a rock star in my eyes.

She whole life helped to build current Russia. Russian soldiers in her name (as holder of Russian passport) have killed 500+ children. Do you observe any repentance?

​@@anzelmasmatutis2500 Yes. Ekaterina Schumann opposes this regime. She is labelled a foreign agent in Russia, and it is not safe for her to return there because of her political opposition to Putin.

​@@anzelmasmatutis2500what are you talking about? I'm from Russia and this sounds like complete nonsense for a person who sees the situation from inside. Could you please point out some evidence?

This is such utter nonsense. Putin doesn't have the power to in the war in Ukraine - how can he plan to do anything with Europe??? Sorry but you probably don't understand why this war started and what was the initial goal. 'know our neighbour well' - seems you don't if you let those oligarchs spent Russian citizens' money on their villas in your country.

But they do use it in a collocation “потерпеть фиаско»

The term 'clusterfuck' is a more precise translation, albeit vulgar.

It is used, not very often, but most people know what it means.

@@Aar1sW Nice to know :)

@@Dalilalynx Well I should have asked to my wife first :) I Just Googled a little bit

I wonder what Godwin's law looked like before Hitler lol.

​@@dwl3006or the internet.

True, but the automatic loss in a debate was sort of an amendment to Godwin's law and one which Godwin himself, adopted, therefore canonizing it.

Schulmann says it cheekily. I continue hearing occasional "Soviet" instead of "Russian" from foreign experts thirty years after the dissolution of the USSR. To them, Russia is still communist. And to many Russians, they still fight the capitalist West. It is a zombie Cold War, with zombies on both sides.

It is the formal name if the organisation in London that organised the event.

This is all mostly outdated: nationalism, unchallenged monarchy, patriarchy, misogyny, social Darwinism. In an era where the world has to stand united against the climate crisis and loss of biodiversity threatening the survival of humanity this should be passed to the hands of historical scientists.

Omg, wrong, she's an ethnic russian, married to a Russian Jew. Go back to your Zhirinovsky worship cult.

The Ukraine will have to shrink for that.

How? No one describes the mechanisms, there are always only imaginary things in outline with lack of specifics. Meanwhile the mechanisms of continuing bombing Ukrainian cities from original Russian territory while Russian troops being removed from every inch of Ukraine are pretty much the same as today and it doesn't look like "the end of the war", especially for the people under missile attacks

Зануда :)

Unless you are going to invade Russia and dismantle the whole system like the Allies did with Germany in 1945, this is not a correct angle to approach Russian population. All guilt-shaming does is feeding Putin's electoral base.

"it was Russian people who voted Putin into power" - after this statement you don't need to continue reading the comment

What imperialistic wars? Georgia? Russia protected the autonomy of two peoples who won that autonomy in the early 90s. Syria? Invited in to defend the recognized government after the West and Turkey repeatedly attempted to destabilize it. Ukraine? Keeping a hostile power off its longest border and protecting fellow Russians.

@@mitchyoung93 "Fellow Russians" are dying in extremely high quantities ever since Russian goverment has decided to "protect" them.

@@mitchyoung93Yes Georgia, Syria and Ukraine. And also Chechnya, Transnistria and Mali. You are talking drivel.

I believe he was saying that that that’s what Putin thinks. Putin is wrong; NATO and the Warsaw Pact are fundamentally different. NATO can only fight in self-defence.

Gorbatschov and Solzhenitsyn probably as well. Poor Russians, cant get rid of the authocractic regimes and wanna be Zars.

@@NewPipeFTW Эти двое вероятно горят а аду. Так что их трупы лежат спокойно. ;)

@@Lyolya And Andrei Sacharow And Victor Tsoi And Boris Nemtsov RiP "President Vladimir Putin has praised late Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn as a "true and real patriot" after unveiling a statue honoring the Nobel Prize-winning author." "May 24, 2009, a year after Solzhenitsyn died, Putin visited the Donskoi Monastery in Moscow where the writer is buried and laid flowers at his grave."

@@NewPipeFTW And what? So what if President Putin respected Solzhinitsyn? Just imagine, our opinions with President Putin differ on this! I think Solnizhinitsyn is disgusting

You mean against Putin, a very different thing. Putin is Russia’s worst enemy.

Yes, it is.

How? Which part was against Russia?

@@StRanGerManY that happens when people don't separate a president from a country. plenty of those here.

Pushkin himself on the subject, aug 2 1831: What do you raise an outcry over, national bards? Why do you threaten Russia with Anathema? What stirred you up? The throes of Lithuania? Desist: this is a strife of Slavs among themselves, An old domestic strife, already weighed by fate, An issue not to be resolved by you. Long since among themselves These tribes have been at war; More than once has bent beneath the storm Now their, now our side. Who will prevail in the unequal strife: The haughty Lech, or the trusty Ross? Will the Slavonic streams converge in the Russian sea? Will it dry up? That is the question. Leave us alone: you have not read Those bloody tablets; To you is unintelligible, you is alien This family feud; Mute to you are the Kremlin and Prague Unthinkingly you are beguiled By the valor of a desperate struggle - And you hate us . . . And for what? Reply: is it because On the ruins of blazing Moscow We did not acknowledge the insolent will Of him under whom you quaked? Because we hurled into the abyss The idol heavy-looming over kingdoms, And with our blood redeemed Europe's freedom, honour, and peace? You are menacing in words - just try to be in action! Is then the old thane, resting on his bed, Unfit to raise his bayonet of Ismail? Or is the Russian Tsar's word powerless by now? Or is it new to us to be at odds with Europe? Or has the Russian grown unused to victories? Are there too few of us? Or will, from Perm to Tauris, From frigid crags of Finland to the flaming Colchis, From the shaken Kremlin To stagnant China's walls, Flashing with steely bristle, Not rise the Russian land? Send then to us, oh, bards, Your sons enraged: There's room for them in Russia's fields, 'Mid graves that are not strange to them This one seems close to the original Russian text but you can find other translated versions online by looking up "slanderers of Russia", for example, the 19century "Why rave ye, blabbers..." which the w: page points to

You obviously didn‘t follow Social Media in Russia over the last years. She was extremely influential as an intellectual in shaping public opinion. But Mordor is not easily defeated of course.

pu with a small letter though.

As a Russian who is against putin I can see why and I'm not surprised ugh

You are too harsh on yourself….

Go to russia toxic.

@@toughr1506 That is the thing. In this particular case the clown form is perfectly matching the bullshit essence of the narrative. This actually happens very often. Because form and essence are dialectical pair, that can’t be separated.
