And culture is just a culture. This building is lost forever, and it was a fine one.

Losing it won't grant social system a happy restart or fix unfairness. It's just a small, but sad result of the unrest, not a magical leverage.

Sabotaging logistcs, production, and operation of services might be way more effective without destroying cultural artifacts.

    I've been a Russian living in Europe and I follow the news closely both from European and Russian independent media. The cash flow is complicated, but it exists, and Russian oligarchs/politicians still own property and support their families in Europe, even if they are sanctioned themselves. Also, it's not a reason for Putin not to attack anyone if thar would feed his ego and help to keep his position.

    Hi all! I'd like to request suggestions for a secure messaging app, ideally that doesn't require mobile phone for registration, to stay connected to my family In Russia.

    The country wages war on the Internet, messengers and VPNs. Options are blocked one by one, and one can't register in Signal because numbers that send registration confirmation from Signal are blocked...

    I'd need an app that allows group chats, calls, media attachments and audio messages, easy enough for older people would be able to install. Ideally, something niche enough it won't be blocked right away...

    It's a lot of requirements, but I hope something like this exists and would be very grateful for any recommendations.

    Android / iPhone / desktop.
