#lost Russia

[folklorespring]

I love when "not all russians, it's putin's war" westerners face the reality

[very-lost-hobbit]

Can we talk about how CRAZY it is that the UN General secretary visited Russia? Start a brutal war against your neighbour and then escelate it eight years later! Commit ecoterrorism, threaten nuclear terrorism, and intentionally and actively target civilians! In fact, why not kidnap them AND their kids and "rehome" those kids with your own citizens and punish them for expressing their own culture while you're at it! Commit genocide- as a treat! These actions have minimal consequences and absolutely will not make you a pariah state!

Заброшенная больница судорабочих в Рыбинске.

Ансамбль деревянных зданий расположен на левом берегу Волги на Бурлацкой улице, и скромно стоит в тени лип. С дороги хорошо виден главный корпус с надпис��ю «Больница». Улица не случайно называется Бурлацкая, а на набережной Рыбинска стоит памятник бурлаку. Когда-то Рыбинск был негласной столицей бурлаков, профессии тяжелой и теперь давно забытой. Каждый год тысячи бурлаков стекались в город в дореволюционные годы.

Больница появилась в 1880 году. Первый вклад сделал купец А.Ф. Фролов, отдав под больницу свою землю, за ним и другие горожане пожертвовали деньги на строительство лечебницы. Вскоре были построены первые здания. Весь ансамбль больницы построен в неорусском стиле. Исполнение вызывает уважение мастерством обращения с деревом. Обшивка доской выполнена поперек, вдоль и ёлочкой, красив деревянный, резной на просвет фриз, изящная обналичка, детали выноса крыши, сохранилась мелкая расстекловка окон, филенчатые двери.Вообще, удивительно, что все эти деревянные постройки сохранились до сих пор и на территории больницы не было не одного пожара.

Врачи здесь принимали больных только во время навигации, лечение было бесплатным.Бурлаки и другой рабочий люд могли получить медицинскую помощь, постель, еду и приличное одеяние. Профиль больница сохранила и в советские времена. Сюда обращались речники и жители левого берега Волги. В 90-е жизнь в больнице начала угасать. Закрылся хирургический корпус, уехали врачи. Двери пустующих зданий заколотили, охранять ветшающие памятники культурного наследия оставили старенького сторожа.В 1993 году все здания больницы судорабочих были признаны выявленными памятниками культурного наследия.

Следить за сохранностью имущества сейчас некому, всё активно разрушается и приходит в упадок.Здания производят удручающее впечатление. Стекла в окнах разбиты, крыши сломаны, двери выбиты. В помещениях разбросаны документы. Памятник культуры, построенный рыбинцами, пережил падение империи и 70 лет советской власти. Теперь старой больнице самой нужна забота и лечение, иначе уникальный памятник исчезнет навсегда.

An abandoned hospital for ship workers in Rybinsk.

The ensemble of wooden buildings is located on the left bank of the Volga on Burlatskaya Street, and stands modestly in the shade of lime trees. The main building with the inscription "Hospital" is clearly visible from the road. It is no coincidence that the street is called Burlatskaya, and there is a monument to a boatman on the Rybinsk embankment. Once Rybinsk was the unspoken capital of boatmen, a difficult profession and now long forgotten. Every year thousands of boatmen flocked to the city in the pre-revolutionary years.

The hospital appeared in 1880. The first contribution was made by the merchant A.F. Frolov, who gave his land for the hospital, followed by other townspeople who donated money for the construction of the hospital. Soon the first buildings were built. The entire ensemble of the hospital is built in the neo-Russian style. The execution is respected by the skill of handling wood. The board covering is made across, along and with a herringbone pattern, a beautiful wooden frieze carved into the lumen, elegant cashing, details of the roof removal, small glazing of windows, paneled doors have been preserved.In general, it is surprising that all these wooden buildings have survived to this day and there has not been more than one fire on the territory of the hospital.

Doctors here took patients only during navigation, treatment was free.Boatmen and other working people could receive medical care, a bed, food and decent clothing. The hospital maintained its profile even in Soviet times. Rivermen and residents of the left bank of the Volga applied here. In the 90s, life in the hospital began to fade. The surgical building was closed, the doctors left. The doors of empty buildings were boarded up, and an old watchman was left to guard the dilapidated monuments of cultural heritage.In 1993, all the buildings of the Shipbuilders Hospital were recognized as identified cultural heritage monuments.

There is no one to monitor the safety of property now, everything is actively being destroyed and falling into disrepair.The buildings make a depressing impression. The glass in the windows is broken, the roofs are broken, the doors are knocked out. Documents are scattered in the rooms. The cultural monument built by the Rybintsy survived the fall of the empire and 70 years of Soviet rule. Now the old hospital itself needs care and treatment, otherwise the unique monument will disappear forever.

(and to getting it back without someone else coming along with it)

bear with me. please keep an open mind. however if you don't want aimless details of this scenario feel free to ignore, there's really not much plot just context.

in this one ame botches a manic magic portal ritual and gets decapitated by accident, and his head disappears but his body is still somewhat sentiment? its not particularly intelligent but it still functions (comically). canada takes his body to england (arthur bc this isn't nationverse anymore) to open a proper portal and him and the body then head (haha) into the unknown dimension to retrieve his head.

meanwhile ame (just a head) is found by rus who is a kind of demon entity of that dimension... they have a "humans are lame" plan to find ame another body and make him an entity too, rus claims it's so he has a friend but ame would be more of a servant by magic system rules and would not be able to return home without the other (not that he knows. rus does though). cana plans to turn ame normal. 🤦‍♂️...

bottom line is, cana (and ame, independently from eachother) squealing like a girl because the demon world is scary, the inherent freakiness of whatever they have going on, iykyk iydyd, ame body walking into walls and ame head carried like a lantern by the scarf and talking to rus. i also like the idea of them somehow messing something up and all three ending up back in the human dimension, except ame is still in two pieces and whatever rus touches visually starts to spiral so they have to go back and fix something. a few more episodes should come after this. ill let you know when i settle on an ending. yay!

Discord is basically a spyware program with the NSA crawling through it so no shit Russia blocked it. If I were in conflict with the USA I'd block all the shit I possibly could

usa is shit, but don't you come to my DMs trying to defend russians gov

bc they are shit too, I'd say they are worse but honestly I don't think its productive to argue on which's government is crappier

[shattered-pieces]

Trump wouldn't answer when asked if it was in the USA's best interests for Ukraine to win.

I would like to show people why it is in America's best interests, anyone who isn't clear about it.

For one thing, to not be complicit in atrocities. There are other things, but for me it's on the top of the list. Siding with russia means being ok with war crimes. That's not the kind of America I want to live in.

Idk, maybe I'm in the minority and people are ok with torture and rape and people bombed apart if it is done to Ukrainians, by russians.

[cedyat]

So about that Napoleon (however briefly) considering joining the Russian army thing…

[bobrova]

[zvaigzdelasas]

Thoughts on if the USA will pass Israel 'aid' separate from Ukraine 'aid'?

Think the Dems would much rather give concessions on the border wall or abortion rights than allow anything to impede either war, think GOP would rather force concessions on the border wall or abortion rights than to do anything more than huff and puff about Ukraine

[boyfridged]

jason did not "spend years in russia" literally what are you people talking about.

[leonardoeatscarrots]

Tell me about YOUR favourite historical figure and what it is you like about them the most 😄 (also any images are added bonus 🙏🙏)

Bullet points on why I love Felix Yusupov so much, because otherwise I'd be here all night:

Oddly enough not the "killing Rasputin" thing, though he did do that

His general incompetence over anything and everything.

He did drag and crossdressing when he was younger and did performances. His exact gender identity is unknown, mainly due to lack of terminology during the time, but he was gender-spicy for certain.

Raging bisexual and considerably open about it in his memoirs for the time period.

Loves his wife. Turns into a bumbling mess whenever he writes about her. She was a badass btw. I can't blame him.

Killed Rasputin WITH the help of his lover, Dmitri. Pretty sure those two shacked up afterwards.... but you know.

He actually planned to do a lot of charitable work with his family's money and estates, including opening museums and restoring wetlands and such, but the other nobles hated the fuck out of this idea and also the revolution kind of forced him out of the country before he could try.

Pathetic. Absolute fool.

According to his own accounts of the assasination, he passed out and fell down the stairs after killing rasputin. This is why he wasn't there when they disposed of the body. All adaptations omit this event.

His memoir Lost Splendor is marketed as "the amazing memoirs of the man who killed rasputin" but it is only 20% about rasputin and 80% random shit he pulled as a kid. Tom Sawyer type shit. This book is genuinely one of the most entertaining things I think I have ever read. One day I might make a comic adaptation.

Pretty sure this man had ADHD. The symptoms are all there...

The first time I kissed a girl was because I was having an autistic info-dumping session on this dude and she thought it was super hot 🔥

Some of my fav pics include:

This goofy cropped one (its one of our discord emojis lmao). His little squint is so funny to me ahshdhshhs

This photo is just very charming. 10/10. My current computer background. Also a discord emoji.

These two i just find to be cute ::3 I really love photos of him with his wife, Irina, because again she was a baddie. Also I'm such a sucker for photos of people working.

This last one I just really like because it's very fun and playful. The boy on right is Felix as a tot, and the other on the left is his brother, Nicholas (I really love Nicholas auuughhh).

The right photo is the original postcard scan, and the left is a version I did as photo restoration practice ::]

[eruverse]

Someday I will write 90s Amerus fic. That day isn’t now (biggest writing block rn), but someday. Many of the 90s fics in the English fandom are too incorrect in my opinion when it comes to historical contexts — and I know why, but it is 😄 grating

Дача Гаусвальд - первое в России здание в стиле модерн.

Dacha Gauswald is the first building in the Art Nouveau style in Russia.

Дача Гаусвальд — это особняк, расположенный на Каменном острове в Санкт-Петербурге. Она здесь появилась в 1898 году и отражала свежий стиль — модерн. Дача была построена архитекторами Владимиром Чагиным и Василием Шене для жены булочного мастера Густава Гаусвальда, Евгении Карловны.

Архитектура дачи Гаусвальд воплотила многие характерные черты стиля модерн. В ней была подчёркнута асимметрия, отлично прослеживались изломанные линии портала и крыши. Прообразами здания послужили изысканные английские коттеджи. Здание — 2-хэтажное, его основной объем — деревянный, построенное на подвалах, с высоким каменным цоколем. Дача частично — кирпичная, выполнена сложная объемно-пространственная композиция из разновеликих объемов. Отделка фасадов имитирует фахверк — каркасное строительство из несущих столбов и балок, которые видны с наружной стороны дома, что придало ему характерный облик средневекового колорита. Северо-восточные части здания украшают парапетное ограждение террасы и угловая стилизованная башня, сложенные из кирпича. При отделки использовали различные материалы: бутовый камень, облицовочная керамическая плитка "кабанчик", известняк, дерево, керамическая черепица, поливные полихромные изразцы.

 Впоследствии, в 1910 и 1916 годах дача претерпела перестройки.  Самые серьезные изменения она претерпела в 1984 году после проведения в ней капитального ремонта, в результате сего были утрачены некий внешний декор и отделка интерьеров. В то время здесь неоднократно снималось кино. После она долгое время пустовала и к 2008 году находилась в аварийном состоянии. Около 85 % конструкций было уничтожено разрушающим древесину белым домовым грибом.Однако в 2017 году начались работы по восстановлению. В ходе реставрационных работ была сохранена большая часть исторического здания, также специалисты покрасили дом в оригинальный оливковый цвет. Внутреннее убранство практически не сохранилось, поэтому его кропотливо восстанавливали. 

Dacha Gauswald is a mansion located on Kamenny Island in St. Petersburg. It appeared here in 1898 and reflected a fresh style - Art Nouveau. The dacha was built by architects Vladimir Chagin and Vasily Shenet for the wife of bakery master Gustav Gauswald, Evgenia Karlovna.

The architecture of the Gauswald dacha embodied many of the characteristic features of the Art Nouveau style. The asymmetry was emphasized in it, the broken lines of the portal and roof were clearly visible. The prototypes of the building were exquisite English cottages. The building is 2-storey, its main volume is wooden, built on basements, with a high stone plinth. The dacha is partly made of brick; a complex volume-spatial composition is made from volumes of different sizes. The decoration of the facades imitates half-timbered construction - frame construction from load-bearing pillars and beams that are visible from the outside of the house, which gave it a characteristic appearance of medieval flavor.The north-eastern parts of the building are decorated with a parapet fence of the terrace and a corner stylized tower, made of brick. Various materials were used for finishing: rubble stone, ceramic facing tiles "boar", limestone, wood, ceramic tiles, glazed polychrome tiles.

Subsequently, in 1910 and 1916, the dacha underwent reconstruction. It underwent the most serious changes in 1984 after a major renovation was carried out, as a result of which some external decor and interior decoration were lost. At that time, films were filmed here several times. Afterwards it was empty for a long time and by 2008 was in disrepair.About 85% of the structures were destroyed by the wood-destroying white house fungus. However, restoration work began in 2017. During the restoration work, most of the historical building was preserved, and specialists also painted the house in its original olive color. The interior decoration was practically not preserved, so it was painstakingly restored.

this user watched "The Master and Margarita" (2024) and she hopes that whenever this movie gets a digital release, it also gets english subtitles, because honestly, this was the best movie I've watched in the past few years
