Zapadoslavia

Hello slavic brothers.

What is your opinion on a federation comprising primarily Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the Rusyns and Sorbs? This proposal was put forward after World War II, but what would you think if such a federation were to come into existence today?

Why are some slavs so rude

This isn't the first time. I have tried to make a normal conversation but it has almost backfired. I don't know what's the reason . He is 100% Russian. I just wanted to confirm and see the results 🤦

Castle Gana and the Dalemincians

For centuries, roughly half of what is now Germany was bilingual. The other language wasn't French or Latin – it was Slavic.

Do you think the elder care in Russia isn't how it should be ?

Unlike Asia or South America , there isn't a joint family who takes care when you get old and Unlike Western Europe and English speaking countries, there aren't many nursing care as well. During my stay in Russia, I saw many Babushka who stayed all alone.

hra Slavic Ancients - early development

Narazil jsem na týpka, který sám maká na RTS / Tower defense indie hře z středověkého prostředí, kde husiti bojují proti temným silám inspirovaným slovanskou mytologií. Hra vypadá fakt zajímavě, na vozovou hradbu plnou husitů Vám budou nabíhat třeba klekánice 😄 Hra je zatím v early developmentu. Má pár dalších zkušebních videí na jeho kanále, tak mrkněte. Podle videa určitě ocení další tipy, co tam dát dál www.youtube.com/@SlavicAncients

How would you respond if I told you that my 25th great-grandfather Yuri Dolgorukiy was a prince of Rostov and Suzdal?

Yesterday I learned I have both northwestern European and eastern European heritage also.

Learning Ukrainian through Medieval D&D? I'm a UNC professor launching a summer language course based on historical manuscripts.

https://preview.redd.it/rsxbpqx72nah1.jpg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65e2bc2a9055c6fe0a858172f9b4caa541a6b6b1

Привіт, everyone!

I’m an Assistant Professor of Ukrainian at UNC Chapel Hill, and this summer, I’m trying a completely new approach to teaching the language and history of Ukraine. I wanted to share it here because I know this community loves diving deep into the language.

Instead of standard textbook drills, the core of this class is built around roleplay and strategy games based entirely on authentic medieval and early modern manuscripts.

Think of it like a Dungeons & Dragons-style campaign, but the lore is 100% real history. You will be putting yourself in the shoes of actual historical figures, making political decisions, and working directly with primary source manuscripts to decode the stories and learn the language contextually.

How it works:

  • Every game scenario is adapted directly from a real Ukrainian manuscript.
  • You'll build your foundational Ukrainian vocabulary and grammar by interacting with these historical narratives.
  • We play out the scenarios together, testing how different choices change the historical outcomes.

Whether you are a total beginner or looking to connect your language skills to deep historical roots, you are welcome to join.

I'm running the first lesson soon so you can see how the gaming format works before committing.

  • You can read more about the methodology and the project at my website.
  • If you'd like to sign up for the course or grab a spot in one of the lessons, you can register with the QR code or ask for the link.

Happy to answer any questions about the curriculum, the manuscripts, or the gameplay in the comments below!

Just to send my admiration to Russian parents who live abroad

At no point have I seen a Russian parent talking to his/her child any other language but Russian. I'm based in the UK. In contrast, most of the Polish people talk to their children in English, even if their English is pretty poor. I can't see the reason why you would speak to your child any other language but your native. Children will learn the language of the country they are in at school anyway.

Does "Slavic/Folk Wellness" aesthetic have a chance in the US market, or should I drop it?

Hey guys, I need a brutal reality check from US-based sellers or buyers.
I’m a Business Analytics and UX/UI student from Europe, and I’m planning to launch my first digital product shop on Etsy (focused on Gut Health trackers, food diaries, and wellness Notion templates).
Instead of making another basic, pink, or pastel minimalist planner that everyone else is selling, I wanted to use my roots and design everything in a Slavic / Folk / Deep Earthy aesthetic (deep forest greens, botanical illustrations, ancient herbalism vibe).
My question to the US audience is: Does the "Slavic/Folk Wellness" concept make any sense to an average American buyer, or is it too exotic/weird? Do people in the US care about European folk traditions in the wellness space, or should I just rebrand it completely into generic "Cottagecore / Witchy Aesthetic" to get any sales?
I have the data logic and UX ready, but I don't want to fail on the visual positioning. Please be as brutal as possible, I want to save my time if this is a dead end. Thanks for any advice!

If your language were to adopt the English word ‘garbage’ as a loan/slang word, would it directly adopt the word as garbidź/гарбидж or instead adopt a pre-Frenchified version thereof garbaž/гарбаж?

What would you say is the purest Slavic language?

By pure I mean that it has the lowest % of words of non-Slavic origin
