Like, this place, Ulyanovsk, birthplace of Lenin, only Ruissian UNESCO city of literature…it’s got to be fucking sick, right?

Russia has a reputation of being full of reactionaries these days but are there still places where socialist culture remains?

Pardon me for asking such a dumb question, Russia is a massive country, so the answer is probably yes. It’s just that those of us behind the burger curtain don’t really get to learn much about massive fucking nations such as Russia, China, or India. In school we are taught that every culture east of Leipzig or South Africa is a homogenous blob. ‘Once you’ve seen Moscow, you’ve already seen Cambodia’, was the MO in high school

Are there any specific cities/towns you know of?

It'd probably doxx me if I got too specific but a quick way to check is KSCM voting patterns in local city councils

But yeah we still have cops that were from the communist era and are communist in my hometown, they only really harass rich tourists for breaking rules. It's a small town and I'm trans and they know it and have never bothered me. Its a pretty close knit community that shares a lot, like whenever I visit home everyone does a big dinner so I actually know these people fairly well

Rustic alpine^[doing a bit of anti-Europe Orientalism, Occidentalism if you will; I know the Alps have nothing to do with Czechia] Disco Elysium is not a myth, I have seen it

I don't understand what this means lol

I want a game that uses Disco Elysium's same insanely well crafted narrative system and wonderful writing...

... but it's about a young witch trying to solve the disappearance of her neighbour's cat in a small village in the Alps"
