The Brain, Ed, Seedy (and myself), at least, have been consulting the stool chart in Languish discussions for years now.  Swedish government and Russian commentators = behind the curve.

Type 6 is a vile scourge.

I think I discovered Type 8 while doing my colonoscopy prep earlier this year.

Talk about Slavic pessimissim, the Ukranian anthem is literally titled "Ukraine has not yet perished"!  :lol:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

Hardly original.  The first line of the Polish National Anthem is Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła or 'Poland has not yet perished'

But that is not Slavic pessimissm that is just realism of living next to Russia.

Yeah, well, Poland is it's own thing, but the idea that Kiev is alien to Russia is kind of bullshit.

Well you can blame the Mongols for that development.

Not really. The Romanovs fucked up bringing the lost Rus' back in to the fold, and some clever Austrians managed to find reasons to separate some from the full embrace of Holy Russia in the 19th Century.

Yeah.  The 18th and 19th centuries.  Ukraine had been doing its own thing for like 500 years with only marginally annoying disturbances from their supposed overlords in Vilnius and Warsaw.

There's a longer history of division and greater practical linguistic difference between a Sardinian and a Venetian than just about any kind of "Ruthenian" and a Russian.  The Germans and Italians managed to effectively create a new, shared national identity, there was no reason the Russians couldn't.  Other than administrative incompetence and Austro-Papist perfidy, obviously.

I'm half-trolling.  I'm a Europhile and the Putin administration is a nightmare.  For practical purposes, Ukraine should be with Europe.
