Спаса-Праабражэнская царква (Ракаў). #RussianOrthodoxChurch #wikipedia #Belarus

🇷🇺 Russian authorities are renewing their years-long narrative rejecting the legality of the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, possibly to deny Ukrainian and Belarusian sovereignty and independence in the future.

Replaying #DragonAge: Origins, got to the Brecilian Forest and the codex entry about Fen'Harel the Dread Wolf. After having played the #Veilguard and knowing the other side of that story, I can really taste Solas' bitter resentment.

This has the feels of reading "Gone with the Wind" after the "The 1619 Project," or Soviet and Russian versions of history of #Belarus after Uladzimier Arlou's books.

There is precious little we know about Fen'Harel, for they say he did not care for our people. Elgar'nan and Mythal created the world as we know it, Andruil taught us the Ways of the Hunter, Sylaise and June gave us fire and crafting, but Fen'Harel kept to himself and plotted the betrayal of all the gods. And after the destruction of Arlathan, when the gods could no longer hear our prayers, it is said that Fen'Harel spent centuries in a far corner of the earth, giggling madly and hugging himself in glee.

We're gonna have this here in the US, too. 42% of #Belarusians think #Belarus is a #democracy, but only 22% believe it has majority rule.

(Goose Chasing Guy meme) What is the meaning of the word "democracy"? What is the MEANING?

Two opinion poll charts. To what extent to you agree with the statement that Belarus is a democratic state? Positive subtotal 42%, negative 29%. Which of the two statements do you agree with: The majority of Belarusian can influence political processes in the country: 22%. The majority of Belarusian cannot influence political processes in the country: 42%.

One thing I forgot to add, #USSR spent massive resources on the immediate liquidation of the effects of the disaster it caused, but it was only for 5 years - in 1991 it collapsed and dissolved. Since then the country that formally inherited majority of the USSR resources - that is #Russia - did not spend any resources on long-term mitigation of the effects, mostly suffered by #Ukraine and #Belarus.

These costs were taken mostly by the international community, including funding of the new massive #Chernobyl Containment which, in 2025 was damaged by a drone sent by the Russian motherfuckers 🤷
