An actual Victorian era legal phrase for "average Joe".

 

[Mad Vader]

Very interesting.
Sometimes there are other ad hoc media stereotypes, like "Joe the Plumber" (a real person used as a metaphor) from the Obama era.
Or even Kyle the angry, Monster-drinking worthless gamer or Karen the entitled complainer, though they live in the meme world that sometimes spills into mainstream media.

Soviet-Finnish War a.k.a. the ‘Winter War’ started fueled by territorial disputes.

During the interwar period, Finland took a hostile position against USSR developing plans to seize Soviet Karelia. Soviet leadership was concerned with close cooperation of the Finnish ruling circles with Nazi Germany including that in military area (weapons’ supplies).

Soviet-Finnish border ran only 32 kilometers from Leningrad making the Finnish Gulf and the city extremely vulnerable to a possible attack. Despite the non-aggression treaty, Soviet leadership had no doubts that a great war with Nazis was coming and within this context Finland was viewed as Germany’s probable ally.

After Nazi Germany had invaded Poland on 1 September 1939, Soviet leadership was attempting to make a deal with Finland to move its border from Leningrad to strengthen the safety of the city and the country’s northern parts. In exchange, Finland was offered a territory in Soviet Karelia twice as large. All Soviet suggestions were declined.

The Winter War resulted in the defeat of Finland. According to the Treaty of Moscow signed on 12 March 1940 Finland ceded considerable territories to the Soviet Union. After the Nazi attack against USSR, Finland joined Hitlerites intending to revenge.

They are still living the propaganda, that was awesome.
Maybe no different from huge differences between history textbooks in the Balkans.

 

[Adorno]

Damn. Never seen such a long paragraph with every sentence being a lie.

 

[Piconi]

Apart from the undisputable finnish-nazi love for those 3-4 years, the rest i don't think even an average russian citizen would believe.

A museum in Denmark is looking for owners of vulva casts.
An artist offered female visitors to have a cast of their genitalia, but many have not picked them up.
I imagine some funny scenes when a woman goes "ah, yes, that one's mine!".

Will they go full Cinderella on them?

But why? Why would they be looking for the owner ladies?

 

[Terco_Viejo]

Reading Adorno's recent comments reminded me of this digital-genital art offered by this artist... art at its best.

 

[Adorno]

The museum don't want to keep them, and they technically belong to the women (as a gift).
They made a Facebook post about it hoping the owners read it.
They can of course also just throw them out later if no one comes to get them.
