Has anyone seen them live before the ice incident?

Is he still gonna make music?

I recently applied for a 3-year VISA, but I was rejected. It so turns out that I'm on a short list of permanently-banned US citizens.

I visited Russia in 2019/2020, but I didn't do anything wrong, so I have no idea why I'm on the list 🤷‍♂️

I contacted an immigration lawyer in Moscow, and they told me that there wasn't much I could do. I did send a letter to the ambassador several months ago, but I haven't heard back.

Any ideas? I'd like to be removed from this list . . . I have family in Russia that I'd like to visit sometime.

I've been listening to a webradio channel from Surgut on Radio.Garden. There seems to be a lot of music produced in Russia, Estonia, and Latvia that pops up on the channel.

Is Chillout big in Russia? Or, is it basically elevator music that no one intentionally listens to?

If it is regarded as music, what — if any — attendant art, writing, or other performance is there?

Is Russia into chillout the way that Americans were into the Blues, ie. does it simply stave off the awful?

Russian native speaker will answe your questions (if you have any)

I have opinions about Ukraine, of course, but it isnt my conflict. My question is what do actual Russians think about Metro 2035 and should I read the book first?

Where did people migrate to from Reddit if not here?! Baffling.

Scrolled Lemmy and found an interesting community called «Ask a russian» @askarussian

In this community one could,
obviously, ask a russian person about everything from politics to everyday life.

What I sugggest is to use a hashtag #askarussian when you would like to know anything about life of a russian person.

#fediverse feel free to ask questions :)

The Youtuber Perun has a bunch of videos about politics/corruption and the Russian military, and he refers to words in the Russian language. I was wondering to what extent he uses them correctly, and also am curious about origin/etymology and cultural background.

Here's his definition of 'Vranyo': "It's a pattern of lying that is usually expressed in a scenario wherein you know that I'm bullshitting, I know that you know that I'm bullshitting, but I'm going to go ahead with it anyway and deliver it with a straight face.." at 4:41 in this video

And for 'Ochkovtiratelstvo': "That is yet another Russian word for lying, usually used when you're lying to make something sound a lot better than it is, often yourself. " at 1:07:05 in this video.

Any insight from Russians or Russian speakers would be appreciated.

Not a question as such, but this is a popular youtube channel where Russians are asked questions, including sensitive ones about the horrific war going on right now.

I figured it might fit the theme of this channel.
