It's a great region of Eastern Europe that stretched into Asia.
The massacres, genocide, and murder its ruling government has commited, supported, and denied is terrible though.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Russia is a vast land, has many varied and beautiful landscapes, rich folklore and maaany many unique reptile species! In terms of piracy, russia is also home for talented cracking teams.
But when it comes to war.. there's a lot of savagery and monstrosity russian people done in the past. Sooo... yeaaah
I love the US, too. I just hate what it stands for. So I'm not sure what you mean by “Russia“, the country and it's people, the idea of it as implemented by Putin, or something else altogether.
Nice try KGB, won't get me to defect that easily
Thank You
Did you know that Putin and Zelenskyy had a peace deal all worked out, but they sent in Boris Johnson to kill the deal. Gotta have war.
- Putin didn’t do it, Russian negotiators did it
- This agreement contained only promises, not guarantees
- Not a single European country has decided to guarantee this with its army
- B. Johnson simply gave the order to destroy all of Russia's static nuclear missiles if a nuclear war breaks out and nothing else.
I dream of one day visiting the Ural mountains
