Fair point, fixed that.

Fact check:
- "Someone" is Andrey Shasherin from Barnaul, who was charged with extremism in 2018.
- Shasherin was charged with extremism not "after sharing a meme about him having €30k watches" but after sharing memes promoting hatred towards people from the Caucasus and Central Asia. According to the SOVA human rights center, one of those pictures "carried an unambiguous aggressive racist message".
- In fact, Shasherin was charged with violating the blasphemy law for publishing a meme with Patriarch Kirill. Unlike extremism charges, this is not punishable by imprisonment (Part 1 of Article 148 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
- Anyway in 2019 Shasherin was fully cleared of his charges and received the right to rehabilitation.

Could you please bring back the clown avatar? It suits your posts much better.
Oh i thought that according to .world's lore it's NK soldiers fighting for the bowl of rice there... I'll have to educate myself better with your mythology. Anyway, in real world draftees were deployed there exactly because it wasn't warzone. Could you please provide some links to proof that they are actively used there right now?
Edit: well, i think that some things should be clarified for people who would be reading this in future. Conscription (draft) and mobilization is two different things. The first (conscription) means compulsory military training for young males of specific age which fit for military service. You shouldn't be used in active military action if you're conscrpited. Both Russia and Ukraine had draft before the war, with a military age from 18 till 27, inherited from Soviet Union. After the beginning of the war Russia has raised upper limit of its military age to 30 and Ukraine has abandoned draft as such. The second (mobilization) is forced military service with the goal of taking part in war action. Russia had one round of mobilization in the end of 2022. Ukraine has general mobilization non-stop from 2022. Both mobilizations caused crisises, although pretty different ones as Russia has its borders open while Ukraine has its borders closed for military fit males.
Just a friendly reminder that in the real world, the country that cancelled its presidential elections this year and is conducting forced mobilization is Ukraine. In Russia, the presidential elections were held six months ago and the forced mobilization ended two years ago.
Are you from Belarus or know anyone in real life that lives there?
I know half dozen and most of them would say that you're spreading BS propaganda (with fair exception of one my former coleague who have taken all Tikhanovskaya stuff so close to his heart so he is in immigration now).
That is rich since imperialist Russia is the one who is occupying parts of Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine.
Are you from Moldova or know anyone in real life that lives there? Because i know 3 Moldovans in real life and none of them have anything against indepdependence of Transnistria and none of them is somehow excited with Sandu's warmongering or have any wish to take part in war effort to recapture Transnistria.
Are you from Donbass or know anyone in real life that lives there? Because i know A LOT of people from there and have been there A LOT of times (as Donetsk is my father's hometown). And all of those people would say that you're spreading BS propaganda.
Are you from Abkazia or know anyone in real life that lives there? Because i've been there once and i can bet that you haven't. As if you'll tell Abkhazian that his country is somehow part of Georgia occupied by Russia, you won't be happy with outcome.
You could easily achive your goal by going back to reddit, there's nothing wrong with it. Seems like federated international community hosted by enthusiasts is just not your cup of tea. Centralized platform which goes to IPO would be able to provide you with echo chamber that you seek for.
All attempts to whitewash banderite crap always resemble this good old comics.
Belarus: not invading anyone, waging no war, perpetrating no genocide, banned from Olympics
Israel: ...
I'm at Russia right now, I've been to Ukraine more than dozen times including twice to Crimea (Ukrainian at time of visit) and numerous times to Donbass (as Donetsk is literally hometown of my father). What's next? Have you ever been to one of the listed places yourself or are you just fantasizing from other side of the world?
Only cool people are capable of doing it
