Today I learned that Russians used to dump highly radioactive waste into a lake because they didn't know what else to do with it.

You don’t understand. Russia very small. No other options available
Oh poor mother Russia why did the USA do this to you
*Soviets
Still Russians as it was in Russia.
more true than you think
france tested their weapons in africa and brits in australia, the us had the pacific islands to blast on, russia had to dump it in their own lakes
Still Soviets because happened when Soviet Russia was not ruled by Russians.
There's a fundamental difference between each of these things.
I thought everyone knew about Karachay, radioactive Siberia is not just a joke.
lol no
Only Fukushima is a joke.
Russia has never been ruled by russians. At least the most significant leaders were never fully russian.
Ruriks were scandinavians.
Peter the Great's mother was 100% tatar.
Catherine the Great was literally german.
Stalin was georgian.
Now russia is ruled by a bunch of oligarchs majority of whom aren't ethnic russians as well (almost half are also muslims btw).
Who cares. Russia is a one huge dumpster anyway.
Rurik was non-existant myth by the way.
>lol no
There are ways of getting rid of nuclear waste besides just dumping it in a lake. Also, most countries picked uninhabited areas to test in or removed the people there. The Soviets just said fuck it.

Thanks to socialism.
>the us had the pacific islands to blast on,
Lol you also tested on US soil and sent your own soldiers afterwards to check out what happened without any pritective equipment because you didnt know about the effects of radiation yet.
And Russia tested in the arctic and on remote islands so dont lie.
Mayak wasnt a test site, it was a factory dumbass.
Most of Russias rulers were always Russian. You've literally only named three that werent and they're pretty much the only ones.
Lurk the list of Bolshevik gov.
I have. Besides that's hardly even a century
Besides that?
Aren't we talking about Soviet Russia occupied, ruled and built by bolsheviks exactly?
putin is russian
>france tested their weapons in africa
Good times.
No we're talking about the entire span of Russian history. How many leaders of the USSR werent Russian/Slavic? 1, 2?
>putin is russian
He is a proud Volga Finn and probably also Greek.
Stalin, Khrushchev, Gorbachev
>How many leaders of the USSR werent Russian/Slavic? 1, 2?
Lenin was only partially, Stalin was Georgian and Andropov was some Cossack/German mutt.
the ussr was literally a russian empire
Bolsheviks defeated Russian empire during Civil War. And occupied Russia.

tl;dr the US finds out about Russian spies and the techniques they use, feeds them false info, gas pipeline goes kaboom in Siberia with 1/4th of the strength of the Hiroshima bomb.
>Khrushchev
Ukrainian slav
>Gorbachev
Half-russian half-ukrainian slav
Anybody who speaks Russian is Slavic. Stalin, Beria, Shoygu are all Slavs.
Stalin weren't Russian native speaker. So weren't Beria.
>Ukrainian slav
He actually was Russian. His parents were Russian peasents. He was born near Ukraine and worked in the Donbas but was 100% Russian.
The main motto of USSR government was "women will give birth to new ones" (so they shouldnt bother with saving existing people's lives)
I listed the most important ones.
Peter the Great turned Russia into an Empire.
Under Catherine the Great the cultural, political and economical influence of this country grew dramatically.
Stalin made it a superpower.
And no, these weren't the only ones who were not russians. Pretty much whole Romanovs dynasty was at least half german.
