  1. The fact that eastern #European countries are still unsure about letting #Ukraine into the fold is - NGL - kind of bitch made. No matter the excuse, we smell the fear of the #Russian bear.

    To my friends who are #Slavic and #Baltic, do not fuck around. You know what #Russia did to #Chechnya.

    We know what #Kremlin TV has said since 2022 - even to this day - that #Poland, #Lithuania and #Finland are still on the menu.

  5. #today we went to a history presentation on the taverns of #Cleveland

    It covered the taverns in Ohio City and #Slavic village

    Many neighborhood taverns during the big imitations from #Irish #German #Italia #Croatia were covered. I've been to many of them when I was allowed to drink 😆

    Here's some shots from the 2nd floor of #GLBC Great Lakes Brewing Company

  6. Koschei the Deathless is a powerful, malevolent sorcerer in East Slavic folklore who achieved immortality by separating his soul and hiding it inside a nested, "matryoshka-style" container: a needle within an egg, inside a duck, inside a hare, inside a chest, buried under a green oak on the mythical island of Buyan. His original recipe (with some obvious substitutions) would later be known as the "turducken". #folklore #cooking #slavic #wizard #deathless #lich #turducken #sorcerer

  11. @x41h definitely a Russian deli then 😂 I noticed a few restaurants quietly changing their menus to "Slavic-influenced" or something to that effect (from "Russian"), after the full-scale invasion.

  12. I muted the word "Slavic" and all variants of it several times from my IG feed (I know, it sucks to still occasionally use it). But the algorithm is desperate to show me covert pro-Russia influencers pushing "Slavic" as an identity or aesthetic (as opposed to a linguistic group or the tool of Russian imperialism & hegemony that it primarily is). It's incredibly frustrating, does anyone else keep being shown muted content?

  13. I studied #Ukrainian, #Russian, #English, and #German at a regular Ukrainian school. I could have chosen #French instead of German. I didn't choose it and I don't regret it, German is mentally closer to #Slavic #languages.

    Now I want to finally learn the first one, forget the second one, and remember the last one.

    I have an engineering degree, but I regret not studying the humanities (history, geography, philology, anything but all that boring stuff).

  14. Hype for the Future 52O: Russia 🇷🇺 is a European Country

    Background Even though the vast majority of the Russian land area is located on the Asian side of the continental landmass, the vast majority of the population of Russia is located on the European side. With the power imbalance, confusion may often arise based on the distinction between geography and reality of transcontinental nations. Though Türkiye maintains a more obvious distinction between Europe and Asia, even the Caucasus and the Ural Mountains that define the line between Europe […]

  15. #Germany has for centuries been a conglomerate of many tribes. The neighbour tribe of Alemannen gave the #French name Allemagne.

    #Polish name #Niemcy comes from *němьcь - speechless - since German is not mutually intelligible with #Slavic languages.

    #Faroese word for #Germany is #Týskland. It derives from Old High German work #diutisc (of or pertaining to the people or tribe). In #OldNorse it became þýðskr/þjóðskr and later formed #Tyskland in Scandinavian languages.

  16. I'm fortunate enough to be able to take a day off on extremely short notice. I did that this morning. After I sent the kids off to school, I grabbed my partner and drove to #Flensburg in #Germany, which fortunately is only a couple of hours away from our house. Best decision ever. Enjoyed a bit of shopping, had beer and schnitzel, traditional warm #eggpunch and even had time to visit a Mix-Markt, where we loaded up on #Slavic delicacies like #pelmeni, #salo, #vodka, fish-in-bucket (salt marinated mackerel), marinated and sliced pig ears and a small pallet of cottage cheese.

    I solved the issue the most #slavic way possible 😁

  22. The Ancestors of Today’s Poles with the Haplogroup R1a

    Genetic studies proved the autochthonic theory of Polish origin to be true at least as by the 2nd century BCE or possibly about 2000 BCE. The Polish nobility’s myth was its Sarmatian origin, a myth that proved to be true partially culturally and partially genetically. The Scythian and Slavic peoples grow out of the same Indo-European genetic trunk, or
    rather, they are branches of the same thicker limb.

  23. Sharing etymological roots in pairs is particularly true when it comes to the word for "raspberry": For example, Lithuanian avietė & Latvian avene. it comes from Proto-Balto-Slavic *áwis "sheep", because to them, raspberries resembled sheep.

  24. Hi, I’m Silje Susanne Alvestad, a researcher in #Slavic languages and linguistics at the University of Oslo. I’m also the proud manager of the #Fakespeak project - an interdisciplinary project involving linguists at UiO and computer scientists at SINTEF. Our objectives are to reveal the language and style of #fakenews in English, Norwegian and Russian, and to find out whether adding linguistic features to existing fake news detection tools can make such tools better.

  25. I've decided to compile a list of games with prevalent Slavic culture/folklore/mythology themes, both already released and still in production. :boost_requested:​

    In no particular order:

    • The Witcher series
    • Reka
    • The End of The Sun
    • GORD
    • Black Book
    • BLACKTAIL
    • Yaga
    • Night is Coming
    • Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Heart of the Forest
    • Polanie 1 & 2
    • Thea: The Awakening & Thea 2: The Shattering
    • Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness
    • Cossacks series

    Let me know of any other you know about, and I'll add them to the list :) :boosts_ok_gay:​

    Slava! 💗

    This is fascinating!

    I've been studying #Czech, which shares a ton of #phonemes and #vocabulary with other #Slavic languages, but is written with a Latin-based character set (I say "Latin-based" because Czech uses an assortment of #diacritic marks as #pronunciation modifiers on an otherwise standard #Latin character set).

    On several occasions, I've come across a #Russian or #Ukrainian word written in its native #Cyrillic script followed by a #phonetic pronunciation guide written in Latin characters, and consequently recognized the word as one that is shared with Czech. Those moments of recognition are just pure #linguistic glee.
