20:55 I send greetings from sunny Kalmykia!

Hello from Russia!

13:30 | Using only a tiny bit of all the arable land, and still the biggest exporter of grain in the world. 30:00 | In the past family names were not an actual thing for the casual folk, and to recognize each other, they'd add a little changed up version of their fathers name to their own. Like if you are Alexander/Alexandra, and your father is Peter, you would go by Alexander Petrovich/Alexandra Petrovna, respectively. It would basically mean Alexander/Alexandra of Peter. Everyone has a family name nowadays, and this custom has stuck around as a middle name now. 36:25 | The word you're looking for is Gopnik. It's a funny concept and we make fun of it all the time, generally accepted, but it's a stereotype, we aren't like that. It's in reference to the 90s, when pretty much everyone lived in poverty, and grew up like thugs, thus gopnik is one who must survive by any means necessary, but still finds enjoyment in the way of life. Kinda like people from the ghetto in the US, but we all know it's just a load of bullshit. A bunch of meaningless stereotypes.

Привет из России!

@18:30: You might have an easier time if, like most Russians, you're used to using the Cyrillic alphabet.

Officially taught in schools cursive really is like that, HOWEVER usage of that cursive isn't that required after the fifth grade, so some people including me are writing semi-cursive since then (I've met some resistance from teachers about that but what can they do?). This doesn't apply to medical things, their writing is the worst ._.

Reggie, couldn't find this one in your playlist but I know you like the three sisters of OG3NE. Yesterday (July 29th) they released (next to an Amy and Lisa) a solo by Shelley from their Three Times A Lady Concert: Colour of the wind (Vanessa Williams): kzread.info/dash/bejne/rGqZ2KaTnbSxnZs.html

We totally understand! It's going to be Rusia first! But can we just say the Netherlands second? 😉

Стоп, что

Crazy how people forget Ukraine war in 2014 (still the biggest site of warfare in Europe) like it was long ago, but it's not. )
