ezbee:

Poland may see Soviets as not much different than other invaders.

De-russification of Latvia.

TL;DR Latvia has had a large Russian speaking population segment since invasion by Russia many many years ago.

But the Russian invasion of Ukraine has triggered de-russification in Latvia. Phased in over 3 years, all school lessons will be in Latvian, even in Russian speaking areas.

Another own goal by Putin.

Love the squatting gopniks.

Yeah, I noticed that too :-). It's come a long way from the parody Germans in "Top Secret" who spoke Yiddish because no-one involved in the production knew too much about East Germany.

This could also be in the smile thread:

US DoJ posts a press release, in Russian, on Russia’s Victory Day, about their takedown of FSB malware.

kingdragonfly: From 2015 Putin's super monster tank T-14 being towed during a Victory Day rehearsal.

It wasn't being towed, they were demonstrating the power and might of Russian armoured recovery vehicles! Slavsya, Rossíya!

kingdragonfly: And recently, an actual T-14 captured unscathed by Ukranians, probably ran out of fuel

That's a clever stealth T-14, they've disguised it to look exactly like a T-72.

Probably me since I made such a hash of the link in the initial post.

@elpenguino when using YouTube you only need the video code between the YouTube tag - not the whole address.

Thanks @freitasm. Should I add an example / explainer to the BBCode page (linked above the compose box) so I remember next time?

This video needs a little explanation.

It's a Russian soldier surrendering to a Ukrainian drone. That Ukrainian drone flies away, and another Ukrainian drone returns and drops a note saying "follow me to surrender"

The shells going off are the Russian soldiers trying to kill the deserter.

He follows the drone and makes it safely to the Ukrainian side

Perhaps the Ukrainians should equip their drones with hands-free systems for Russian defectors? 😉
