Forgetting we are always at school, make it easy for me wee brain.

are you thinking how can such upheaval and destruction in the various revolutions have occurred under liberal democracies?

it's like calling the riots in US 'peaceful demonstrations'

Long version, they are so confident starting out

Yes, Russia is indeed very renowned for its liberal attitudes towards anything that falls beyond Orthodox or Cossack culture   These days it becomes increasingly more dangerous for many Russians to speak publicly or even in blogs about their atheistic views because some people get sentenced for offending the feelings of believers protected by law...

PS Btw Did I mention my grandfathers used to be Cossacks too?

By mother's line, one of my great grand fathers was Cossack (his son, my grand father was a military officer in Soviet army), and before my great grand father his father, his grand father etc. were Ural Cossacks too. Sorta a family type of business back at the time of Imperial Russia. They were based on the river Ural (or Yaik) far away from Moscow and mixed a lot with Central Asian people, that's why even my mom had some Turkic features in her appearance. In Moscow there is an enbankment which used to be called after Ural Cossacks a 1.5 century ago, it's on the opposite side of Moscow river just next to Kremlin.

You see, sometimes people are dressed like Cossacks, but may have no relation to real Cossacks.

But even if those folks from the video are real Cossacks, clearly they are breaking a few articles of the Criminal Code of Russia and can get sentenced to prison. Unlike the performers they have no masks and are easy to identify  

this is the comment of a political Conservative righty

my thoughts are similar, i don't have sympathy bc they were managing some notoriety on the fact that, you know- Russia Russia Russia!

entertainment and politics don't have good results. In US there is a great oh shall we say REAPING of hollywood paedos connected to Epstein and other massive arrests recently, internationally.

US democrats have been pushed so far left as to allow for and advocate for the destruction of Civil War and other national memorials. Now most states are under control, the trouble was always the worst in 'blue' or democrat states like Minnesota and New York. Republicans states are 'red' like Texas and Montana where citizens protected the Alamo and Mt Rushmore was protected by the Republican governor and the National Guard.

 

Was Churchillian England more or less conservative than Nazi Germany?

Was Roosevelt America more or less liberal/radical than Stalinist Russia?

It is not a temple, it is (rightfully) a church or a mosque or a museum, depending on who you ask.

Mosques play a very important part in Islamic states' politics, because you can make other meetings illegal, but you can't get rid of religious meetings, which is one reason why the radicals are found in the religion.

Ataturk was a secular leader, so what Erdogan is doing is going back on part of Turkey's secularist tradition (which is also part of the tradition that killed off Armenians and Kurds and Greeks, although I don't know that much about that).
