Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I just had a Ukrainian-Canadian tell me Russian is not Slavic but Finnic/Turkic/aSiAtiC hOrDes. There's a difference between opposing Putin and denying linguistic reality. Sorry, but linguistics doesn't care about your feelings about Putin.

Well, according to Polish nobility's own mythology, Poles are not Slavs either, they're Sarmatians descended from... Iran (funny how the concept of Aryan has the same geographical roots, totally unrelated... or is it?).

And Ustaše claimed that Croatians were descendants of Goths. I sense a pattern here.

Their contemporary sympathizers also push pseudoscientific Iranian origin theory.
