@FedorovMykhailo

So, recently our digitalization minister, pan @FedorovMykhailo announced the feature of buying military bonds directly in DIIA. So, I decided to try it out and officially invest in Ukrainian Army this way. A short 🧵 of how it went. 1/

I started by going into the 'Military Bonds' section and choosing which ones I want to buy - they are named after major cities that are to be liberated and have a different return date (correlating with the liberation date?) 2/

I decided to go with Kherson for now. Clicked the button to buy - turned out I don't have a card that benefits can be returned to, so DIIA forwarded me directly to my bank's app, where I was able to generate the needed account for 2 minutes (not exaggeration). 3/

Orwell's 'Animal Farm' and Modern Russia. A 🧵

Most people that have read 'Animal Farm' know that it was written about the USSR in 20s - mid-40s - during the reign of Stalin. But it actually has some things in common with modern russia, too. I want to explore a bit of both 1/

Don’t ask me how it happened, but I've only read "Animal Farm" a month ago for the first time. I was astounded at how factual it is, especially given that it’s been written by someone who’s never visited the USSR. Sometimes I felt like I read 10th-grade history book again. 2/

It is also very straightforward - it describes many of the actual events that had happened in USSR without branching into much of the fantasy (that is, if you discount the fact that humans are presented as animals, of course). 3/

National Republics of Russia. A 🧵.

🇷🇺is a multinational state, which means that it's a sovereign entity that comprises many nations that share the same country. For formative nations of the multinational states - their country is their native and historical land. 1/

This differentiates the diversity of the multinational states from the diversity through immigrants (although, multinational states may have many immigrants too). Immigrants typically have their home country through which they may connect to their heritage, get visibility etc 2/

I don't really want to go into immigration, as that's a different topic, with people facing many issues as immigrants. And I want to focus on non-russian indigenous peoples of 🇷🇺. Obviously, with the size of russia, it's impossible for it all to be occupied by one ethnicity 3/

Hey Everyone! My account has (delightfully) been invaded by Fellas yesterday, and my number of subscribers has significantly grown. So, I feel like I owe you guys a quick intro.

So, I am a 28 y.o born & raised in Zakarpattia (highlighted), a small mountainous region in the west

I've lived in different towns around the region - Mukachevo, Vynohradiv, and finally, Uzhhorod, where I moved at 16 to attend university. Zakarpattia is often overlooked by people outside & inside the country, while I actually think it has a lot to offer to tourists & investors.

One topic that IS circulating around Zakarpattia (thanks to russians) is potential separatism because the region is ethnically diverse (Ukrainians, Hungarians, Romanians, Rusyns, Romani etc). This is utter bullshit - we take pride in our diversity& in being ukrainain citizens.

It constantly upsets me how little a person needs to do to be considered "a good russian" & yet how perfect Ukrainians should be to be considered worthy of western support
#visabanforrussians

And so I am constantly afraid that if they finally start to protest, nobody will question their motives, & people will say: "see, they are definitely against the war", even though they may just be protesting the fact that the war is going badly or they can't buy H&M

Or when the war is over, people outside of CEE will JUST FORGIVE THEM, forget what happened. Will go to business as usual with them and talk about Dostoyevsky & Tolstoy. And 🇷🇺s will never feel true shame for what they did & never feel true remorse, never SINCERELY apologize.
