Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I’ve been inside a “submarine” like that before in Egypt and if one of the windows break, you are pretty fucked.

You can visit closed parts by bribing guards so imagine the maintenance on these attractions.

Were the russians military or politicians or something?

They were people who either were in support of the genocide of Ukrainians or angry that the attempt to conquer Ukraine was done in a manner far bloodier than they had hoped for.

There are Russians who aren't in either of those two groups, but they are very few – among the ones I know, about 5%. Those who aren't in those two groups cannot stand the rest of the Russians and would definitely choose a submarine ride where they are the only Russian.

In other words: since they were many Russians in the submarine, and not people from a lot of various countries with one or two Russians among them, they were definitely actively or passively supporting a war of genocide.

I would not accept hating all Russian citizens, because I do have a couple of very good friends that are Russian citizens and are absolutely unambigously against what the Russia is doing. But, those are a very surprisingly tiny minority among the people of the Russia 😢

I did not know that, its unfortunate. At least I guess its not some blind hate

I spent two months in 2015 in Ukraine, then hitchhiked some weeks in the Russia. Almost all drivers kept telling me how Ukraine is a failing state, how their roads are full of bandits, how Ukrainians hate speakers of Russian language and torture them or how Ukraine "has been bombing Donetsk". And when I told them I had spent that long in Ukraine because I found love there and that my Ukrainian girlfriend's mother tongue was Russian and our sole language of communication both between each other and with the society around was Russian they kept saying the same:

" The Ukrainians only showed you what they wanted you to see". To me telling that I had been spending plenty of time alone doing shopping or whatever, and hitchhiked all around the western third of Ukraine, they tended to say "clearly they still didn't show you their true self".

It's not something they were saying against their real knowledge. It was very clearly what they "knew" to be true.

They do a seriously big effort to actively maintain an illusion in their head that their country is in the right, and they are truly supportive of its actions. It's not all of Russians, but it is 90 % of them. Or at least 70 % even according to the research most good-looking for them. It is a nation gone mad. If you read their study books for mathematics or Russian language and see how full they are of propaganda about Russian history, it's clear where that comes from.

If they went to Russian school, their brain is rotten for good. Unless they are an exceptional personality. In which case they have already emigrated.
