A fart in the wind compared to Chernobyl. They were both bad, but the release of radioactive material was much lower, and the site was successfully cleaned up to almost normal conditions. Chernobyl literally had radioactive sludge flowing out of the site, Three Mile Island was steam which mostly dissipated.

For the record I am pretty anti-nuclear, but "bad" and "catastrophic" are still distinct concepts.

Racial poverty. They are largely Mongolian rape babies, as much Asian as white. What remained of pure whites were almost all killed in the jewish-led purge of the "bourgeois" and the christians (it was just Jews getting the mongoloid lower classes who were called "Slavs" or "serfs" to help them kill off whites).

Same thing happened in France with the Protestants getting kicked out. Turns out that was the last bastion of Aryan blood. Now french often look like Turks even if they are 200+ years in that country. Sad.

>>10397489
As I understand Chernobyl, the Russian federation was on the verge of economic collapse and needed to evaluate the outcome of use of the absurdly large nuclear arsenal. By deliberately loading fuel into the reactor for more than ten days a situation was created that would force the free world to offer the prized medical knowledge that Russia had failed to gather on their own.
The resulting evaluation brought about the "apparent" collapse of the former Union of Soviet socialist republics. A defecting Russian general described the plan as "playing possum".

also, there were "just" two famines. One in the early 1930s, the second after the great war.

Ukraine alone is 2nd globally in export of grain, the whole country is nothing but a fuckhuge field of grain. Once they figured out how to properly run a food industry and got over the reminants of war noone ever had to starve.

The Soviet Union had food shortages, including severe grain shortages, in the 1980's. This was due to the fact that the USSR had come to rely heavily on grain exports to generate hard currency, coupled with a series of poor harvests. The poor harvest left them with less grain, but the leadership choose to continue to export as much of it as possible as they were so dependent on the money produced by the export. The result was far too little grain left internally to produce enough bread to keep the population fed.

Rampant corruption didn't help either.

Always look for different candies and chocolate first.
Very good bread, sour cherry or apricot jams, foreign honey. Look for sourdough darkbread, or stuffed breads with herbed chicken for a picnic. Bakery should yield some unusual things from honeycake to good use of berries and fruit.
In the freezer section you might some delicious stuffed peirogi or other dumplings, including some sweeter ones stuffed with plums or some spice profiles you haven't had before..
The deli might have some good imported finds in salami, fresh or cured sausages, esp smoked sausages where there will be different woods used, or cheese and some homemade pickles.
Look for some paprika rich hungarian salami. If you're into smoked fish (I'm not), you might strike gold.

Vodka. It's not just a cliché, Russian or Ukrainian Vodka is the best. It's also somehow much cheaper to the one you usually find in supermarkets, and the quality is making it a whole different thing.

It sounds terrible like something would be missing. Tarragon is a bit licorice or fennel flavor and scented, maybe this is meant as a savory cocktail mixer? Think gin, cucumber, mint as refreshing and realize some savory herbs are good with vodka too and on a side benefit probably help the breath. This probably also goes into the category of "health" benefits kind of like all the old liqueurs were mysteriously botanical goodness in a homeopathic sense (total bunk usually).

It's not bad. Very sweet with strong tarragon flavour, which - as somebody already posted - is a lot like licorice. Worth trying once, but not my personal favorite.

Try Chernogolovka's "Baikal" soda instead - it has more refreshing flavour and the fact that it is made with some coniferous tree extract adds to the novelty factor.

I also liked belarussian "Darida" brand cream soda, but I guess it was be very much the same as any american cream soda, it's just that cream sodas are almost nonexistent where I come from.
