@mk @Fairylight I know what you mean🥲. I haven't learnt the two languages I need to learn yet (English and Polish), but I already want to start Spanish.

@mk @Fairylight Hehehehe>:) I'm glad our efforts were not wasted and we brought quite a new foreign-speaking audience to you. I also want to recommend this social network to my Belarusian-speaking friends.

Меня прикалывают люди которые находят у себя в крови 0,000000000001 принадлежности к каким-то национальным или расссовым угнетённым группам и начинают вокруг этого выстраивать всю свою личность.По такой логике мы с вами все чернокожие.

Почему англоязычные пользовательницы относятся к нам так как будто мы все поголовно на КГБ работаем? :cat-meme: Это всё равно что если бы мы считали что все англоязычные работают на ЦРУ :cat-meme-2:

@carolen Я тоже хочу хотябы раз приехать в Россию потому что у меня там много подруг, но из-за политической ситуации вряд-ли смогу это сделать. Меня просто арестуют сразу на границе если я туда поеду 😀 👍 (Я беларусска и всю жизнь прожила в Беларуси, если что)

Dear English-speaking female users. I want to remind you that on the territory of further Germany and England there is not only Russia and to call all women who lead accounts on Russian Russians as a minimum silly and as a maximum offensive to girls of other nationalities. In addition to Russian women in Russian speak Belarusian, Kazakhs, Ukrainians, Armenians, some Poles, Lithuanians, Latvians and many others. Also do not forget that Russia is also a multinational country and not only Russians live there.And now I want to add from me, as a Belarusan. We are a separate country from Russia and we are not Russians. The only reason why I write here in English or Russian is that Google translator does not know Belarusian language well and it simply will not give you the correct translation of my posts if they are in my native language. Yes, we, girls who use Russian, are quite friendly and prefer to respect subordination when communicating with other people, but if you continue to treat us disparagingly and call us "white Russian semi-feminists", you may get aggression. I'll be honest, Russian speakers already have a less than favourable impression of English speakers. Don't make yourself look like a dork and treat other women with respect if you want them to treat you well in return.Added:Calling us uneducated is not worth it either.Most Russian-speaking women know more than 3-4 languages and are great specialists in different fields.

Attention! The post mentions rape and death threats!I realised that English-speakers are not aware of what is happening in Western European countries at all. Therefore, I will tell you what is happening in my country - Belarus.Belarus is next to Russia. In our country, the vast majority of people speak Russian because of Russification and Russia's colonial policy towards us. We have our own language, which is beautiful in sound and rich in vocabulary, but it is practically not used in Belarus because of the replacement of the Belarusian language with Russian. We even teach in Russian in schools and universities. Just to make you understand how bad it is, during the USSR the number of Belarusian-speaking schools was more than 70% of all schools, and all universities of Belarus taught only in Belarusian, now in Belarus only three schools in Minsk region teach children in Belarusian, and all universities teach subjects in Russian.For speaking Belarusian in Belarus, you can be beaten up or imprisoned because of suspicions that you are part of the apazitiya (about apazitiya later, it's shitty there too). In terms of women's rights, things are disgusting too. We have rampant levels of fatherlessness and domestic violence in the country, girls who have suffered sexualised violence are ridiculed by society, activism and women's rights in the country is impossible because the state prevents it and imprisons the activists. Women are raped, beaten and tortured in prisons. An acquaintance of mine had a case when in the pre-trial detention centre she was forced to strip naked and squat with her legs spread and her arms raised above her head. At that moment she was on her period, but the police didn't care.Another acquaintance of mine was threatened with rape and murder by OMON officers as she was being taken in a motorbike. The only thing that stopped them was a guy, who was also oristating, who started shouting insults at the OMON, thus turning their attention to him.I left Belarus with my family at night because my mother was fired from her job and the KGB explicitly told her that if we did not leave the country within two months after the trial, her children would be taken away from her and she would be imprisoned under the article for extremism.Now I am relatively safe, but the time when I lived in Belarus left a certain imprint on me. And not only on me. All Belarusians suffered from Lukashenka's regime. And we do not like it very much when we are equated with Russians, because by recognising that Belarus is Russia, you literally support what is happening to our country, culture, women, and children.You can ask your questions in the comments below this post. I will do my best to answer them all.

@LadyMont Yes?But for some reason most women, and in principle all the people I met on Twitter and here, do not even know that such a country as Belarus exists. Even the Poles with whom I am in contact are not aware of what is happening literally in a neighbouring country, although they are literally next door.I am glad that you are aware, but practice shows that most people have not even heard about what is happening here.

@stephagain I'm glad you appreciated this post!My next posts will be more devoted to feminism, but sometimes I’m still going to touch on the topic specifically of the countries of the former USSR because it’s actually quite an interesting topic.

@LadyMont You show your disdain for people of other nationalities in this way. It would be like calling Armenia, Kazakhstan or Tajikistan and other countries "dogs of Russia". Or call India from the time of British colonisation Britain. And I'll say it again. Just because you know what's going on in the country doesn't mean other people know about it. Don't show off and shut up those who talk about their problems by saying that "you already know about them".

Моя боль - это контекст и эмоциональная окраска текста на других языках.Я на русском и на беларусском могу неправильно интерпретировать слова собеседницы, а на английском у меня всё плохо с контекстом и даже если я перевожу всё правильно то посыл слов зачастую оказывается буквально противоположным и в итоге выходи что я долблюсь головой об стену пытаясь опровергнуть то чего собеседница не имела ввиду😭

@stephagain Translation:My pain is the context and emotional colouring of the text in other languages.In Russian and Belarusian I can misinterpret the words of the interlocutor, but in English I have bad context and even if I translate everything correctly, the message of the words often turns out to be literally the opposite and in the end I end up banging my head against the wall trying to refute what the interlocutor did not mean

@stephagain I, by the way, learnt French for 9 years at school but never learnt it properly unfortunately. I can read a little bit, though

Люблю совецкие плакаты за то как в них изображались женщины. Никакой сексуализации и инфантизизации. Конечно есть пару примеров неудачных работ, но они появлялись уже ближе к развалу СССР.Вообще считаю, что можно поучиться агитации у людей которые рисовали данные работы. Они довольно вдохновляющие.
