I was thinking recently about the war in Ukraine because Null lived there for a bit, and with all the peace treaties Trump's trying to enforce and whatnot i'm just wondering, like: do people realize that Russians just lie? Not only in the sense that Putin would gladly stop the war for 5 or 10 years and start it back up again later (like he's done already), but in the sense that the russian population has like, different words for lying for different types of lying? It's such a huge part of their culture (probably because of years of totalitarianism).
Like, someone will ask Putin about a political adversary of his that got arrested and he will say "He's fine", and that's one type of lie that the russian people know it's a lie and it's supposed to be known that it's a lie. I think the word for that type of lie is "vranyo", i'm not sure, but i was reading some russians talk about it and there were more examples but i forgot it.
I wonder if Null would know any more examples of eastern european shit like that that people in the west might not be aware of.
