@_ZachFoster So who he was, suggesting extermination of Palestinians? Who was suggesting killing all Palestinians in the way as it was decided to kill all jews? Jews were killed industrially in the real world, people did not forget.

@minimagnus2 @kamilkazani The dynamic was more complex. For example, Bolsheviks declared that they were against the "Prison for the Nations", as they called the Romanovs' Empire. While criticizing the previous regime for something, they naturally had to at least formally demonstrate the reverse policy

@kamilkazani Read about korenizatsiia

@BrankoMilan @LucanusLonginus Your understanding of Crimea is nominal. Crimea*never* was a home for Russians, defined as ethnos. From Russian perspective, it just had uniquely nice climate, hence a destination for loyal servants of the state. Autonomy of Moscow loyal pensioners!Now build legal basis for this

[Elijah Shuch @ElijahShuch]

@BrankoMilan You invoke legal arguments to justify your sympathy to Mother Russia. It is laughable. There was no law on the USSR. Millions were killed for nothing, what law are you talking about?! Autonomous shmatonomous...

@_The_Dali_Llama @BrankoMilan @peterfrankopan I did not read silk roads but read "the first crusade" by the same author, and it was good.

@k_sonin @nntaleb If you check the account of Prof Branco Milanovic, if will agree that NNT is a honest person of moderate views

[Elijah Shuch @ElijahShuch]

@BrankoMilan Like you do not know what the Winter war was about? Hope they at least pay you for this, otherwise these posts are just impossible to explain😔

[Elijah Shuch @ElijahShuch]

@polidemitolog What's the problem for the French government to buy weapons from French manufacturers and to supply these to Ukraine in kind? I am suspecting some pretty obvious answers... ;)

[Elijah Shuch @ElijahShuch]

@mobbs_mentality with all due respect (deep and sincere), do not you feel that it is ethically inappropriate for foreigners to comment who "must be mobilized" in Ukraine.

[Elijah Shuch @ElijahShuch]

@BrankoMilan Professor, you are so brave! What about going to Moscow and telling this to your Russian friends, while looking into their kind eyes? Even better, take some friends together with you and do it as a group. March over the city center in Moscow with a banner "End this war - Now!"

[Elijah Shuch @ElijahShuch]

@polidemitolog Arestovich is genuinely clever. Fedorov can be a good (effective) manager which is actually what he is prized for (myself I am not sure but it is hard to judge, maybe he is relatively good in this indeed), but definitely he is not extremely bright.

[Elijah Shuch @ElijahShuch]

@BrankoMilan How can you be that shameless, there was no mentioning of civilian targets in Russia in the video, while Russia burned Ukrainian electrical plants for years! Do you care about your reputation at all, or do they pay you enough to not care?!

[Elijah Shuch @ElijahShuch]

@k_sonin @DmytroKuleba Will not make harm but will be of little help. A true conservative could be appointed, but Kuleba is seen as "pro Brussels", will not be respected in Washington (

[Elijah Shuch @ElijahShuch]

@BrankoMilan How do you know your understanding of the RU-UA war is realistic and generally "good", in order to recommend a way to reach this very understanding?

[Elijah Shuch @ElijahShuch]

@HavryshkoMarta Who told you that you are a scholar? It is just cheap propaganda, not scholarship. Never Ukrainian authorities "waged war on the historical memory of the Red Army". No surprise people honor memory of their grandparents who fought occupiers, and died, in the Red Army.

[Elijah Shuch @ElijahShuch]

@BrankoMilan Can it be that your research of inequality is as brilliant as your analysis of politics in the USSR/Russia..?

[Elijah Shuch @ElijahShuch]

@polidemitolog Russians are people with a great culture, or a culture of great specificity to be more exact. And this culture always exposes itself, no way it does not. Certainly normal people of the Western cultural tradition will not like this specificity.
