Новый "Трудно быть богом" к оригинальному материалу имеет, скажем так, НЕПРЯМОЕ отношение, но это и хорошо. Смотрится весело. Даже Кологривый к месту, прости Господи.
@qwertyfrityi@ApuBobr The imperial flag is the Romanov house colours, and they didn't have a defined order before 1858. There were discussions about changing the order of colours so that it began with white. Nowadays it's just a matter of preference.
Here's a painting where it begins with white.
Russian forces have reportedly fitted a UAZ-452 “Bukhanka” vehicle with mirrored panels as a potential countermeasure against drones using optical or AI-assisted guidance.
The improvised modification appears intended to interfere with the drone’s ability to visually identify and track the vehicle by altering its appearance and creating reflections.
@ApuBobr Western cultural power was immense in the late Soviet Union. Everything Western was considered "quality" and was seen as a status symbol. Nowadays we're no nowhere this level of cultural dominance and anti-Zog counties mostly can provide groceries and blue jeans to their people.
@ApuBobr The lack of blue jeans contributed substantially imo. No one really tried to stand up for the state where buying the most basic commodities and even groceries turned into a quest.
