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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Once again Russia announces to the world that Russian culture is horrible.
what culture? the actual one or do you also include classical music masterpieces or literature masterpieces?
The closer you look, the more you see that Russia has little or no actual culture of its own. Odds are whatever you thought you liked about Russia, you actually liked about some other people or place that Russia violently stole and lied about it.
Good eye-opener for anyone who is 100% sure that Russia is great: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEeLVa_9iIOTA4K7-y8N4nOAOeh33GEro
this is a complete bullshit and theres no other way of saying it. russians have their faults but suggesting that they dont have culture and stole everything is either western propaganda or just plain ignorance. the link you've shared and the "facts" in it can easily be disputed with a simple internet research, for example wikipedia
Russians staying classy, as always.
I’m not exaggerating or being unkind — the enlightenment never reached Russia.
They only believe in strongmen leaders. They don’t believe in or even understand institutions or democracy.
Their idea of the worker seizing the means of production is a dictatorial regime based on slavery.
That's so vile and disgusting. I wonder what the internal Russian opinion is on this. Do they buy it?
Similar to domestic U.S. reaction to the current regime's babble of conflicting messages: some selectively shrug off or swallow whatever's convenient, some know it's unreliable and often harmful but believe they'll personally come out ahead so they accept some uncertainty, some see through it all to the naked corruption at the core. It's a mistake to think millions of people will or can all believe the exact same things when it comes to something as complex as politics.
I don't live in Russia anymore, but none of my acquaintances care about this kind of exhibitions. At least my bubble knows it's propaganda and corruption, and would avoid these kind of events. I'm sure many others would visit and feel so veeeeery offended at how terribly Russians are treated in the world...
Yeah, those poles didn't fear russia enough to flee in time...
I think they were fleeing the Nazi invaders to the safety of Russia….
I wonder why only Polish. I think that there are much more countries, which they can "rightfully" accuse of this and make a specialized museum. But, I guess that spending money on useless war is more important for them anyway.
I wonder why only Polish
Not only, but especially.

When your neighbour is a bear, it is wise to be wary of it.
As far as trolling goes, this is top tier. They know what they are doing.
