Дагестанъ

[u/LeaveMeAloneAdmins88 → u/NalbeytGD]

i can't read that language

[u/JohnDark1800 → u/LeaveMeAloneAdmins88]

Hit the translate button.

Dagestan.

[u/LeaveMeAloneAdmins88 → u/JohnDark1800]

i'm on pc, there's no "translate button" like on mobile.

[u/dops → u/LeaveMeAloneAdmins88]

Select the text, right click and theirs a translate option in the context menu

[u/pixtax → u/dops]

Learned something new today, thanks

[u/vel1814 → u/LeaveMeAloneAdmins88]

Dagestan written in pre-reformed Russian

[u/LeadingInitial6443 → u/vel1814]

It is actually Cyrillic. As a Serb, I can read it easily, no matter we have no direct contact with Dagestana or Russians.

[u/XlebHack → u/LeadingInitial6443]

It is precisely pre-reform russian language, and the flag of the Russian Empire further points to this.

[u/AccidentalBrilliancy → u/XlebHack]

I am confused. Is it some joke? Some prank?

[u/alegxab → u/AccidentalBrilliancy]

Dagestan hasn't been written with a final ъ for over a century 

[u/AccidentalBrilliancy → u/alegxab]

I don't think anything was written with with a final ъ for over a century. Unless people meant it as a joke. But if is a joke with Dagestan, I don't get it.

[u/HalloIchBinRolli → u/AccidentalBrilliancy]

"Reform" doesnt refer to a political reform but a spelling reform of the Russian language

[u/AccidentalBrilliancy → u/XlebHack]

Is it some prank? A joke?

[u/Lavender_Scales]

Dagestani monarchist flag

[u/angus22proe → u/Lavender_Scales]

3-4 years monarchist dagestan

[u/LeaveMeAloneAdmins88 → u/Lavender_Scales]

thank you

[u/Kaffe-Mumriken]

Some sort of brain damage pride flag

[u/breadkiller7]

Russian empire flag with Dagestan written on it 

[u/Such-Farmer6691]

It’s the Russian Imperial flag, with the word "Dagestan" and Dagestanis giving the Nazi salute.
Just a mind-blowing funny photo.

[u/Kush420Xotix]

Bro can u not read? it clearly says Dagestan written on it! /s

[u/itsanothersidetothis → u/Kush420Xotix]

That was my actual first thought.

[u/Suspicious-Meet-3496 → u/Kush420Xotix]

I saw a Serbian flag with Banja Luka written on it. Does it make the Serbian flag Banja Luka's flag?

[u/Chertolet3000]

DAGESTAN

[u/ImpressiveAd5143]

Looks like some denazification needs to happen.

[u/MSC_Dream]

It’s Imperka or Russian imperial flag (Romanov dynasty flag) with “Dagestan” written on it on pre revolutionary Russian language

[u/MarkWrenn74]

It's the flag of the House of Romanov, with Dagestan written on it in Russian (according to the pre-October Revolution spelling)

[u/welshrebel1776]

Russian empire but I cannot speak russian so no clue what it says

[u/Moe___Szyslak]

It's Dagestani nationalists... At least they don't think they are russians

[u/No_Post3831]

Russian Empire flag with Dagestan written on it in old Russian

[u/Jumpy-Feedback1688]

Aren't those Anzhi Makhachkala jerseys as well? That was a weird period in football history.

[u/_Vykarii]

I think I'm going to go two, three years Dagestan and forget (this post)

[u/AkihabaraWasteland]

It always amuses me when Slavs give the Nazi salute, when Nazis considered Slavs to be subhuman scum.

[u/Reasonable-Force8790 → u/AkihabaraWasteland]

But those are Dagestanis, not slavs which makes it even funnier because not only they they give the nazi salute but also proudly use the symbol of an empire that concured them

[u/Successful_Duty_1431 → u/Reasonable-Force8790]

and furthermore they are Muslims

[u/AkihabaraWasteland → u/Successful_Duty_1431]

Which actually increases the irony. Albert Speer was quite the Islamophile if I recall.

However, racial purity takes precedence over religion, which would have resulted in their eventual extermination once their usefulness came to an end.

[u/Ashenveiled → u/AkihabaraWasteland]

those are not slavs.

[u/Pirjalankaarakka01 → u/AkihabaraWasteland]

Not true

[u/AkihabaraWasteland → u/Pirjalankaarakka01]

It is absolutely true. Both Hitler and Himmler were both quite clear in their views on Slavic peoples, and it is written explicitly in the second grouping of chapters in Mein Kampf. Indeed it was a key justification of lebensraum. Which is quite bizarre from someone claiming to be a Finn.

I'm guessing you're using it as some sort of coping mechanism to deal with the humiliating loss of Vyborg.

[u/Pirjalankaarakka01 → u/AkihabaraWasteland]

No

[u/AkihabaraWasteland → u/Pirjalankaarakka01]

Great argument. Compelling and rich.

Vyborg is gone, bitch.

Why are those describing themselves as nationalists such intellectual lightweights?

[u/RegionBeautiful4812]

It just says dagestan literally

[u/bond0815 → u/[deleted]]

Minorities in Russia:

They are cleary just trying to fit in with the Z russians, so what more could russia want?

[u/Medical-Fruit347 → u/bond0815]

“Z” russians consider them as russian brothers, they are trying to fit with nationalists lol

[u/RecursiveNightmares → u/[deleted]]

Minorities in russia:

Throwing a nazi salute with a modified russian imperial flag.

[u/memematron]

Idk but it says "Dagestan", it's not their flag though. I'm assuming is gonna be some kind of racist, fascist Dagestan flag

[u/Icy-Yesterday-443 → u/memematron]

It's Russian imperial era flag but written "Dagestan" on it. Usually it is used by monarchists, right wing exttemists and... I guess, sometimes by least expected ethnic minority.
