everything you need to know about how the world treats ukrainian in one situation.

olga kharlan defeated russian fencer, after that refused to shake hands with her and that made russian very mad and she was protesting (russians and protesting something is weird to see in one sentence) for 50 minutes to disqualify olga.

olga went through but then was disqualified. so federation took side of a russian (that shouldn't be allowed in the first place but whatever) who lost, but not a ukrainian that fairly won.

but the most disgusting thing that russian sportsman first of all lost a reality check, because why you thought in the first place that ukrainian have to shake your hand, your country literally killing that sportsman people. and secondly her brother is a military person, so she know exactly what is happening right now, what's make it even more disgusting

Most Russians would not support ending the invasion of Ukraine if it meant the withdrawal from Ukrainian territories currently occupied by Russia, a recent poll conducted by the Moscow-based Levada Center has shown.

According to the survey, only 34% of Russians would support President Vladimir Putin if he decided to end the invasion and return occupied territories to Ukraine.

However, 70% of respondents said they would support Putin’s decision to end the invasion of Ukraine, without the caveat about returning territories.

Putin is terrible but credit to him for doing something other than “mysteriously fell out of a high window.”

Really speaks for how he’s grown creatively.

Will western writers (who not too long ago fought tooth and nail for their god given rights to write about russians and siberia and to call Ukrainians illiterate) acknowledge that russians kill Ukrainian writers?

Homecoming: The Young Photographer Reconnecting with the Roots of Russia's Indigenous Mari People - Pictures by Dima Komarov

"Komarov took ​most of the portraits of the Mari in their traditional costumes in his native village. He also worked at the festival of Mari radio, where the celebrations and songs are held entirely in the Mari language. “There are many costumes for different purposes: for ceremonies, prayers, or weddings. All of the costumes have sophisticated, beautiful embroidery, symbols which can bring luck and good energy and ward off evil spirits. Almost every costume has the colour red. Men traditionally wear canvas shirts and trousers. Traditional jewellery for women, meanwhile, can weigh as much as 35kg,” he explains."

"Komarov’s visual study of Mari culture shows that there is no right or wrong way to relate to one’s heritage — it’s a journey not only across the physical landscape, but the landscape of your memories and emotions. “Every time I’m in my my native town and my grandma’s village, I feel endless love for my native culture and the places where I grew up,” he says. “Even though I sometimes feel like the culture is fading slowly, I hope that people who discover the new interest in Mari traditions will preserve and develop them.”
