I posted two months ago that I had left the US to... somewhere. Well, it was Belarus. Because my mom is from here. So there's that. I'm just one smol human bean with vicious brain worms, but I'd be happy to answer questions about/from the perspective of this point on the Google Maps before we're disconnected by the Iron Curtain 2.0.

(It's evening here, I have a few hours, but if I don't answer your question I'll get back to it tomorrow I promise (unless it's redundant/silly/makes me mad lol))

E: I'm going to bed but I'll answer any new questions when I'm up, as promised.

    AKS-47U. On the one hand, the Communist party is the 2nd most powerful and largest party here. On the other, here it's not even China, as far as communism is concerned. In practice, maybe, it's a very social govt, but ideologically no one is trying to build a communist paradise here. It's about 50/50 state vs private enterprise, which is still very good, but it's spurred by necessity rather than Marx or Lenin. Lukashenko mourns the demise of the USSR very much though, so there's that. It's very pragmatic, very practical, rather than ideological here.
