baltas in lithuanian
balts zirgo galvs
Remember by Prussian we mean the Baltic Prussians aka the "Pruthenians"
When we were kids, someone told us that "zirgo galvs" is a gave insult in latvian
@Uksio I have a co-worker who grew up quite Russia-patriotic. So much so that he decided that after high-school he wanted to emigrate. He told us that it took hime about two days in Moscow to realise "fuck, I am not russian, I really need to get back home"
@SideTracker I am judging by language group - prussian language belongs in the baltic trio
Finns, Hungarians and the Baltic Peoples came from Central Asia
Moscow is also not Russia btw
I know 😄
In the same way as London became not English
Moscow is like a separate country within Russia, where mostly russians live, but it is full of all ethnicities and ghettos of all sorts
Who inhabits Moscow now
something something something Metropolis are always Cosmopolitan...
@Andrew Popa 2.0 actually, based on genetic markers, the closest population to latvians an lithuenians is .. well .. in India
it's a puzzle
A lot of kyrgyz, tatar, uzbek, tajik, kazakh, chinese, mongol minorities
A lot of people came to work there during the USSR I imagine
And they live in specific blocks in Moscow in some places
Those are not the no-go-zones though
You can hang out with them
Unless you're the US because you just absorb the foreigners in like some sort of all culture devouring blob
Thats why NY is still THOROUGHLY american despite being THEE quintessential Cosmopolitan Metropolis
if you avoid the skinheads, that is
The worst ghetto no-go-zones in Moscow are not ethnic
Here we have a sort of older area of town where more Turkish people live
But rather mafia-gang related
Actually most of them are Tatars, not Turks
You do not want to end up in a block where Solncevski mafia lives
Try Turk ghettos in Berlin then<:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>
Germany is a fucking lost cause
Hitler would be delighted with modern Germany <:smugon:512048583806025739>
@SideTracker I went into one when I wandered Berlin by myself
Germany is more German than Russia is Russian
But ok
then again, most of the "old europe" countries are reverting back to their old pre-ww2 traits
Played nardi and got treated black tea by turks
They were very friendly to me
look a the shit that Spain is doing 😦
@Uksio youre not a woman nor a german so you got off scot free buddy
Indeed
