  • meanwhile Azov in 2018:

    Explaining that strategy, [Olena] Semenyaka, who has been photographed holding a flag with a swastika and making a Nazi salute, said that "more radical" language was used previously, such as during the height of the war in 2014, when the Azov Battalion needed fighters, "because it was required by the situation."

    Now, she said, the strategy is to "moderate" in order to appeal to a broader base in Ukraine and abroad. But only to an extent.

    "We are trying to become mainstream without compromising some of our core ideas," she continued, adding that "radical statements...scare away more of society."

  • Is it actually common to always use cursive in Russian?

    Since it's not a native language I hate it (the struggle of it for me). T lookin like cyrillic M and both also running together with Л, И lookin like a latin U and running together with Ш, ... Ранит мой мозг

    It also stress markers are only ever written in beginner material. Since there's vowel shortening with stress and the stress can change the meaning of the word (писать или писать, to write or to piss?), you just always must check when coming across new words in text. I've even had Russian-English dictionaries that don't have stress markers.

    And don't get me started on people dropping the umlaut that differentiates ё е (yo, ye).
