That's fair. It seems that Artfruit, a major supplier, brings raspberries from Marocco via Belarus, unfortunately nowadays only few sites provide data about product origin country

These are imported

Logical accuracy here is irrelevant. People try to evaluate how you will approach real-life problems, where you rarely have all the data - making assumptions and taking initiative. How accurate and effective such candidate selection process... I guess that also says something about them :)

🤔 Looks more like a personality test rather than a logical problem. How many factors you manage to identify for route choice (e.g. competitors' likely choice) and ability to make choices without sufficient data. I guess they might be running out of beans

We can't rely on grants or advertising. Who would want to invest money, much less advertise next to texts about torture? We can only rely on people who think our work is important. And right now, we really need help.

You can't let someone define your life in such a way, whoever that person was. Seriously

USSR was a very big mixing and equalizing machine, which put the majority of its population into largely similar life conditions. I don't think any other country ever had such uniformity, tbh

E.g. there are income & social class differences, not just nationality. And some experiences will be closer to each other than the others.

There was never any "Russian aggression" in Putin's Russia. For them, Russia defends itself against neo-nazies and the decadent blood-thirsty West. And of course there can't be unifying history. Even two people will have different stories to tell about the same events.

..closes gulag museums. FSB feels itself a heir to KGB and wants to keep its crimes hidden. Russia still hasn't dealt with its past. And it makes Putin easier to reinstate it

Take Holodomor. While Ukraine and Kasaqstan put spotlight on these events, which also helps their current governments pikitically, there's a complete reverse current now in Russia: Putin's regime puts Russians, who study and uncover KGB atrocities in Russia in jail, ..

Framing the history solely as one nationality vs the other is intellectually dishonest and manipulative. Some nationalities were prosecuted specifically, but look up Tambov peasant revolt, Novocherkassk massacre. It was just part of how this system worked

I have a problem with modern Western ex-USSR nationalistic academics. From one side they are right, if Soviets didn't take power in their countries, countless victims could have been avoided. From another, the Soviets ruled in Russia with the same means.

First of all, the idea of brotherhood doesn't come up somehow. But still, how was it during struggles of WWI & Weimar times, shared or not? Russian aggression is now a part of history just like holocaust
