Volga-Volga is a Soviet musical comedy directed by Grigori Aleksandrov, released on April 24, 1938. It centers on a group of amateur performers on their way to Moscow to perform in a talent contest called the Moscow Musical Olympiad. Most of the action takes place on a steamboat traveling on the Volga River. The lead roles were played by Lyubov Orlova, and Igor Ilyinsky. Ilyinsky was one of the most notable Soviet actors and was awarded a Hero of Socialist Labor for his contributions to cinema/theater.
The feature was said to be Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin's favorite film. Nikita Khrushchev in his memoirs says that in the pre-World War II period Stalin laughed at him since he resembled a character from the film.

I used to laugh at renaissance and medieval people for heraldry because it's stupid to study and stupid to do, and now I want to be an anti-fascist and all of a sudden you have to recognize a bunch of military patches and bullshit
"Incomprehensible Mud Goblin" is a popular genre of ren fair street performer
Fash so obsessed with tradition that their Discord servers have rank
We had a mini struggle session over whether a Ukrainian patch was fascist or not and I came down hard on not-fash because the lion did not have a crown and had three stars around it, while the fash lion had a crown and no stars. Heraldry is srs bznz
talking to this leftist girl and in my head I'm like 'I hard disagree on these 4 different things, she's not a true leftist' but then I'm like 'wait this is what leftist infighting looks like irl' and then I'm like :hyperflush:
Yeah the internet has poisoned you. Struggle sessions amongst irl comrades are about understanding why people believe what they do and challenging them assertively (not aggressively) if you believe they’re harmful in some way.
You can say things like, “I think I’m hitting a wall and need to take a break” or “I don’t have the mental energy to talk about this today” and as long as it’s not being used as a way to avoid responsibility those are boundaries to be respected.
Having a partner who doesn’t 100% align with you politically is a good thing. Lest you tumble into the trash can of pure ideology :zizek-fuck:
to be clear, by :hyperflush: I mean :crush:
I think it is very, very cool
But has she passed the true leftist test, declaring outdoor cats as haram?
But she has the correct opinion on youtubers right? Right? Anikan???
:biden-troll: Listen Jack, I uh I uh don't know anything Biden has been up to in the last 41 days, but uh but I know he's probably fucking up somehow. And Blue MAGA has no doubt been running interference for him.
Day 100 of my menstrual cycle
I've had 2 periods so far this year :agony-shivering:
Hey you wanna hear something wacky? There is an Instagram page for the social democrats society in Trinity College, the bougiest college in Ireland. A while ago they started a series about famous social democrats who they respected, starting with none other than Rosa Luxemburg.
Famous socdem, Rosa Luxemburg
That post had since been removed
professor calling zero covid a mistake that could only happen in a one-party state :agony-immense:
make her quantify how it's a mistake!! how many people died? how did quantitative economic measures compare to "let covid kill everyone" countries?
the autistic part of me wants to say "It's never too late to abruptly jump back to an earlier point!"
But you're probably right.
imagine being in a country so cucked that 1M+ people die AND your economy tanks lmao :rip-bozo:
cringing at the time my sister friend came over and asked if he could have my gamer chair (probably as a joke) and I said yes because I was a push over :cringe:
Death is ultimately unavoidable, no matter what. The pain you feel is immense right now, but it is better to have that pain than to have never loved your cat at all. The joy you brought your cat, and that they brought you, must have been great for it to hurt now. Your cat loved you, and you brought them something good in their life. It hurts to be separated from them, but no one can take the bond you and your car shared away from you. You have happy memories. They will shine through some day.
Of course, comrade. It's not easy to go through, I hope I was able to help you.
