    the Finns are a rabidly fascist folk, and the only thing they can agree on is that they all hate Russians. it was an actual reason in local rhetoric for supporting Ukraine, as you can see through this fuck-nugget’s example. i am almost as ashamed to call myself one of these fucking swamp dwellers as would be to calling myself male. fucking hell

    Is this even based on anything in reality, or is it merely for aesthetics (I am pretty sure there is not much in the far East)? Also China gets territory lol.

      There is zero real material, social, historical or cultural basis to these borders. They are about as logical as borders drawn by 19th century Europeans in Africa. They are a colonial fantasy.

      In reality all of these except for the Caucasus region are overwhelmingly majority ethnic Russian. If you were to actually cut out ethnic minority regions out of Russia it would look very different.

      (Also, they did zero original thinking for this map, they just took the already existing federal districts of Russia, which are basically arbitrary geographical groupings.)

        Outer Manchuria going to China does make some historical sense, the russian empire took it as a concession from Qing China through the two unequal treaties. The rest of it is indeed totally batshit.

    yes of course the populous western parts with most of the industry will just let the far more empty but very resource rich east go. this is how these things go, this plan is a sure thing. we’ll have peace for a thousand years.

      That’s honestly the most surprising thing about this. Maybe it’s a subconscious acknowledgement of knowing they need a relationship with a more dependable superpower?

      Because of the Treaty of Aigun, also evul chynah flooding Siberia with seeseepee 1894 agents is a common russian lib talking point. The only modern region that should belong to china are the 64 Villages.

      Buy sympathy from Chinese ultranationalists (yes, they exist). Sow discord. Create a rift between China and Russia. It is attempt at divide and conquer.
