Seriously, what are you smoking? First of all, most countries in the world have a constitution, Russia is no exception. Second, why would you even care about FSB unless you live or visit Russia and plan to commit federal crimes there? FSB is more or less like FBI, foreign intelligence is not on their task list.
I do know what "average" means. Do you realize that those workers at Chernobyl were 18 years old on the low end? There were plenty in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. That was three decades ago. They are 50 years old now at a minimum.
Only a minority was over 20 - mostly professional firefighters and helicopter pilots. Most liquidators were conscripts, 18 is about the right age for the majority. Those who were conscripted after the university are in their early twenties.
What's the average age of a NCO? They'd have to be serving for something like six years to make that rank, so 25 to 35 years old, right? What's a typical age of an officer? Even a junior officer fresh out of the academy? 21? 23?
We are talking about the Soviet army here, not American army. In the Soviet army soldiers had a two year conscription. After the first year, the better performing recruits would be appointed as NCOs. Junior lieutenant got their rank very quickly as well - either automatically if they minored in officer training at the university, or if they served as cadets at conscription, in that case it was three years instead of two, if I remember correctly.
There were no Majors or Captains there?
Even some colonels were there, but they weren't hands-on at the site and they generally left the site after getting their maximum permissable dose of radiation.
All those men at Chernobyl weren't pimply faced recruits just out of boot camp. I don't know this for sure
Yep, that is the problem with you. You don't know for sure about many things, but you behave as if you do.
They weren't schoolteachers, they were soldiers.
All able-bodied male Soviet citizen were soldiers, you dumbass. USSR had a general conscription. This is why them dying 15 years earlier than average is absolutely significant.
Oh, and the claim of them having long term health problems? Show me a veteran in their 50s and 60s, from anywhere in the world, without some sort of long term health problem and I'll be shocked.
So you basically saying that a nuclear reactor is as dangerous as a war?
It is displacing because popular stuff is easy money. Same crap with games - the Deus Ex frachise was put on ice because Square Enix works on games in the Marvel universe. This is how comicbook crap kills good content again and again.
What exactly makes you think that the liquidators were predominantly Ukrainians? Most of them were Soviet army conscripts and could come from anywhere. And even then there is a fucking huge difference between dying when 65 and dying when 50.
By the government, you mean the people who put them into office, the ones who felt that their country was headed in the wrong direction, the people who felt threatened in their own country?
By the government I mean the actual government. Both the nazis and the fascists became a part of the government years after they have started to openly murder socialists without fearing any reprecussion. The Weimar government was ultraconservative and antisocialist and considered nationalist paramilitary units useful idiots doing the dirty work the government wished it could do. But by whitewashing it and saying that the non-existing socialist government was at fault for this you show your true colours.
Germany here. When I went down with acute abdominal pain, I got a CT a couple of hours later. I had to wait a month for a MRI after a spinal disc herniation, but then again the diagnosis was pretty clear in the first place, the doctor just wanted to know which disc has failed (two discs, as it came out after the MRI). With the result I got additional personal rehabilitation training with 10 EUR copayment for each session. As an additional bonus, the trainer was a pretty hot MILF.
If there is an acute problem that needs treatment, the patient will be seen the same day. If it can wait - like a routine checkup - an appointment is required, although some specialists really take their time.
The originals (Nazis) had government support at that time because the government has been scared of socialists ever since Germany as a country has existed. The only reason Hitler had to serve a prison sentence was him partaking in a failed coup. Other than that all kinds of heavily armed right wing thugs had free reign during the Weimar republic. The situation in Italy (fascists) was pretty similar. Mussolini's blackshirts were free to kill socialists in the open without fearing government prosecution, forced the prime minister to abdicate and installed Mussolini as the head of Italian government instead. How is any of it comparable with the situation on hand?
Not as duh as you think it is. Just a few years ago Germany had no minimum wage at all. No jobs were lost since it was introduced even though many conservative politicians and heads of German industry prophesied doom and destruction.
I generally liked Finnish food (like blueberry soup, kotikalja, Karelian pies, Tupla, egg butter and omg the cloudberry, the cloudberry) when I worked there for a year or so, but I never really got the coffee obsession. Tea or herbal infusion fit the climate better, I think.
Reagan didn't force the end of the USSR, he merely took credit, just as Kohl took credit for the reunification even though he merely was present at the time. I am not even sure that you were born yet at that time, and even if that is the case, I seriously doubt you have been close enough to have any insight into what happened during Gorbachev's reign. You see, economics weren't the reason for the breakup, USSR has been worse off before. But Gorbachev gradually stopped suppressing nationalist movements and it tore a multi-ethnic state apart - something similar happened in Yugoslavia only a few years later, but in Yugoslavia's case the different ethnies were nevertheless closely related, in the USSR not so much. By the late 1980ies the growing ethnic tensions resulted in a civil war between the Armenian SSR and the Azerbaijan SSR, between Moldova and Transnistria and between Georgia on one side and Abkhazia and South Ossetia on the other side.

Farmed carp should work fine. Has been for milennia, making it domesticated. And these buggers eat all konds of crap so they can be fed like chickens.

That ban was lifted almost two years ago.
Then I suppose it is time to cancel the subscription and go back buying blurays.
Nobody is old enough to remember that.

Looks like we found an actual neonazi here.

Bing maps is wqy faster than Google maps.
That popular content is displacing everything else.
Get it now?

They already do that, by preferring the comicbook stuff. That was kind of my point in first place.
Tell that to the Monju reactor operators.
To this day I have watched just two original netflix series so I guess I could live with that.

Different strokes for different folks. I, for one, will be quite happy to see all that comic book derived stuff gone.

I don't know, why you bother. roman_mir is insane. Has been for years.

The unemployment in Germany is at its lowest for the past 20 years or so.
In Germany, chimneys have to be cleaned professionally by specially trained people - by law. Even though the law is long obsolete.

Reagan had fuck all to do with all that.
