Constantinopolitan Platypus

I love the various interesting images of art in the Medieval Roman Empire. My main interest is the period between 565 AD to 1081 AD.

@cam_lutece Streetrunning in Santa Cruz, especially west of the Boardwalk. Was a nightmare to navigate for SP/UP crews.

@amawhit3mal3 @RomeInTheEast The name change to Istanbul was from the time when Turkey was ultranationalist and had its own minor Cultural Revolution. This included renaming historical cities to Turkish or locally used names.

@andypipot @Purpura57912934 They very much did build new projects.

@CharmOfCulture @RomeInTheEast The near entirety of the Empire had become independent from Constantinople by 1204. Had the sack not happened the Empire would've wimpered to death slowly.

@almondcrushpoc1 @RomeInTheEast Frontier regions neither side held permanent control over. The Paulicians settled in this area due to its lawlessness and started raiding the Empire.

@romaurbsaeterna @RomeInTheEast But we did learn it was because of the Ottomans...

@RevenantRai @BiddleeeW @LeopardSecret @Valdevia_Art @Trey_Explainer It's not meant to be racist, it's just saying these are among the last people on earth not aware of Christianity.

@GustavoSCosta @NationalPepper VCS was never released as LCS on mobile was a comercial flop and the studio contracted to port it was caught using stolen assets from mods.

@ExpatsTripoli @visegrad24 Why would an account dedicated to posting Eastern European news be jealous of an American Rage Bait 5th Columnist account

You know, a lot of Vatniks love to try and provoke me by linking this video of me singing the Russian Anthem while I was in captivity. As awful as that song is, and as humiliating and degrading as I felt while singing it, I knew that it would send a message to the outside world. For those who know me personally, they know I always struggled with pronouncing Russian words, and I still struggle now when putting a sentence together. If I listen, it's no problem, but when I'm speaking, that's where my language problems start.

I knew that by singing this, close friends and family might realize something was very wrong. The fact that I was singing it word for word should set off alarm bells for anyone who knew me. Behind the camera, I was in a dark place. For months, I was kept in the basement with other prisoners on a strict regime. When you first arrive at the prison, the first thing the guard asks you is, "Do you know the Russian Anthem?" The guard sniggered, saying, "Don't worry, you will soon." In your cell, there's a piece of paper on the wall with the lyrics to the Russian Anthem. You learn to sing it, or you get beaten. I got lucky being a foreigner; the guards gave me a few extra days to learn it. However, the same can't be said for my Ukrainian friends.

The morning after they arrived, the guard would open the cell, and everyone would lie down. He then asked you to say the Russian Anthem, not sing it. If you messed up, he'd hit you. One time, a new arrival came late at night and couldn't possibly learn it in that short space of time. As he continued to mess up, he stood on his back while he was lying down and then beat him into submission with his police baton. This place takes whatever pride you had out of you. If you refuse to sing, you could be beaten to death. I had already witnessed one person beaten to death all because he fell unconscious from his beating.

As humiliating and degrading this was for me I now look back at laughing because again this Is ust another video that will be used in the court room.

For those wondering, the man stood next to me is John mark dougan An ex U.S marine and ex Cop he's also wanted by the FBI and has been on the run since claiming asylum in Russia.

@crankygameplays @spectatorindex Potential profiteering, corruption scandals within the ministry around him, inadequate medical supplies.

@UpdatingOnRome Doesn't beat Emperor Constans II being assassinated with a bucket while taking a bath.

@kapahajai @DarthPutinKGB More like #1 Kleptocracy. They don't even hide systemic corruption in the military anymore.

@LinguaMachina @Varangian_Tagma They always have existed in Palestine, even during the reigns of the Abbasids, Fatimids, Ayyubids, Mamluks, Ottomans, etc. Lebanon was split nearly 60/40 between Muslims and Maronite Christians up until the French colonisation.
