>but the european part of Russia is just as cold and has a Huge population
eoro part of russia is actually much much colder, and has a larger population because the lands were better for agriculture, also population isn't that much larger

norhtern europe soil is crap compared to theirs

>>2439396
Nordics didnt have that much good farmable land. I think they figured out how to make swamps farmable around the 1700s or 1800s.

You mean the Russia that is mostly inhabited further south than even Denmark is? The only large cities in Russian north are all port cities (St.Petersburg, Arkangelsk and Murmansk).

This is the most pleb post I've read today. Good job brainlet.

Brothers K was a really good book. Incisive prose, insight on the nature of belief wrapped up in a compelling story.

I liked Crime & Punishment more though just for Rodion. Has anyone read Demons/The Possessed? Does it stack up to his other work?

People are going to call you a pleb for this, but I don't get Dostoevsky either, which is weird because I really like Russian Golden Age lit in general. I struggled through C&P, barely, and I've tried to read Brothers Karamazov in both Russian and English. Couldn't do it. Stopped after like page 300. Maybe there were fantastically insightful things about the human condition on page 301 but I wasn't having fun so I didn't read them.

Your comments about novels/literature in general are going too far though. One, the book is almost a century and a half old. It's survived for a reason. OK, so it's not to our tastes. It's not to most people's tastes, in the 21st century. But clearly people did derive genuine enjoyment from it or it wouldn't have survived quite a few decades during which literature and theater were basically the only games in town. You're also out of your mind if you think that pretentious "if you don't get it you're a moron" wanking is unique to literature -- have you ever fucking BEEN to a film festival? -- and literature isn't "close to death" unless you arbitrarily discount, you know, all of the shit that people do actually enthusiastically read, in which case you're guilty of pretty much the same thing you're railing against.

It's worth noting that Dostoevsky is by no means representative of 19th-century Russian lit even though he's one of its most famous authors. Tolstoy is NOTHING like Dostoevsky, not just in content but also in tone. War and Peace is a pretty fucking good war/adventure story that occasionally dips into philosophy. Tolstoy's writing much livelier and less introspective. There's political intrigue, duels to the death, lots of irresponsible drinking and gambling, adultery and scandalous love affairs, huge battle scenes, etc etc. Ditto for Pushkin's short stories and so on (I suspect you might not enjoy Chekhov though.)

Jewish values and Christian values strongly crash and the only people who push this meme are American Jews and Christian zionists who want to make us think we should somehow be loyal to Jews and Israel.

Of course

Things can't get much worse for me anyway.

Is this a joke OP?

Attractiveness is relative and assuming the growth is linear it won't help.

It will only help those comparable in attractiveness to me.

So answer to your question is "Yes, I like me some challenge."

Teebeehaytch, I don't know which one I have more of a liking for. One is dumb but entertaining, and the other at least tries at being realistic but you basically can't do anything with it but do what happened historically

Many of the people who appear in hoi can not get any information even if we search on google. However, it is only those who are familiar with the history of each country. Then you surely understand.

This, it was basically the idea that after the Cold War no major conflicts would happen and the world would slowly transform into a series of happy liberal democracies under US hegemony.

I agree. Without the collapse of Byzantium, there would be no Renaissance. Venice dindu nuffin.

Keeping the Ottoman army on the wrong side of the mountains, while sieging their castles on the right side of it. Underrated battle, when you consider the consequences. Perhaps Britain/France/Germany would've attacked Russia if the Ottomans managed to get through and fight on even grounds.

The official start to the feminist movement that continues into today.

As abolition of slavery was primarily championed by the church groups of New England women, they eventually splintered off into movements where they pursued the same rights for themselves as they supported for black men.
