Guavanaut posted:Why did Russia change Leningrad back to St. Petersburg instead of objectively more patriotic name of Petrograd? Petrograd was an imperial fad that replaced the city's original name of St. Petersburg that it bore for a bit more than 200 years. Petrograd as a name did not sit well with the locals, and with the change of government the city got promptly renamed to honour Lenin (or, more specifically, to truck along with Soviet agenda against religion and monarchistic tendencies and so on, all of which St. Petersburg and Petrograd did represent). In early 90s, majority of city's population voted for change of the name back to its historical roots, and so the big government did. As to your spelling check, its just American technology, I assume. Not even a month ago I listened to an American entrepreneur talking about their supply chain in Czechoslovakia.

Tolstoy/anti-Napoleon/Great Patriotic War 1 nationalism was more liberal, as opposed to the current fascist Eurasian nationalism. Putin doesn't dislike Merkel because she's German, but because she's a liberal

cinci zoo sniper posted:every other suspect appears to have laws on the matter, implicitly admitting the existence of homosexuals This would be a solid argument if cognitive dissonance weren't the bread and butter of people who would claim something like that.

Usually "to prevent foreign homosexualists coming here and spreading propaganda." Propaganda including perfidious falsehoods like "gay people already exist in this country."

Aren't most South Korean super-conservative types Catholic or Methodist, both of which were viewed as foreign Western corruptions themselves upon their introduction. Or are there some traditional Buddhist super-conservatives? I know the Tibetan traditionalists are opposed to the anus.

TinTower posted:The hell's happening in Galicia? When you live next to a forest, is easy to imagine the next town is enchanted and filled with ghost, or maybe that witches still exists. Even more if the weather make so is raining too often and large parts of the territory are below thick fog. So Galicia is basically that. Is a frontier place, and the frontier is with the realm of the imaginary. Somewhat like Florida (where everything is possible), or the world in Princess Mononoke, or the videogame Alan Wake.

I don't remember where I read it, but apparently when Putin was stationed as a KGB agent in Dresden back in the eighties he was pretty impressed/horrified that the KGB had significantly less agents in all of East Germany than the Stasi had in the city of Dresden alone. It's not clear exactly how many IM (Inoffizielle Mitarbeiter, "inofficial employees") they had, but at the end of the GDR the ratio of IMs to overall GDR citizens may have been as high as 1:89 - though there were significant regional differences. That doesn't include the AKP (Auskunftspersonen, "informants") though; in the city of Rostock 18% (!) of the population was registered as actual or at least potential AKP. 5% of all SED party members were IM, too. poo poo was insane.

The Mughals still didn't write the legal code that's in use in India today. Ras Het posted:In any case, I don't think hyperconservative Hinduism has been any more tolerant towards homosexuality than Victorian or Muslim morals were Oh no, they're really not. It's just that defending colonial laws shows that they're hypocrites when they claim it's about Traditional Indian Values and not them being bigots.

steinrokkan posted:They certainly were at the forefront of disguise technology. That's actually from a themed costume party at the Stasi HQ in Berlin were people were supposed to dress up as typical “enemies of the state“ which apparently included football players, ballet dancers and whatever that is on the right - members of the party youth organisation maybe? They had blue shirts iirc, but I have a hard time believing that the FDJ would have been especially critical of the regime. I remember another photo of the same party where one Stasi agent was dressed up as a clergyman, too.
