Not just that,Nazis (specially hitler) have some sympathy about turkey,Let me explain further; both nations(turks&germans) was an allie in WWI and both lost and capitulated ,But later on turks gain their independence under kemal's leadership and his vision .Those developments are followed by german people day by day on newspapers .Overall turkey was a role model for germany so they see turkey as a natural allie not an enemy but turkey cleverly protect its neutrality.For more information about nazi-turk relations ,I suggest read that book : https://www.amazon.com/Atat%C3%BCrk-Nazi-Imagination-Stefan-Ihrig/dp/0674368371
When I was studying in Zagreb, high-school girls from a school next to the student center would hang out during their breaks and catcall male university students who were passing by. It was all in good humor. (No idea if the tradition is still alive; this was almost two decades ago.)
That's the only common catcalling I saw in Croatia. Sure, there are occasional drunk idiots yelling after women, but I don't think it's particularly common. I might be wrong, though.
I didn’t know there was a debate. I’m studying international relations(American) and in upper level classes related to the E.U.,UN, ect. We went deep into the ICTY, check out this book . It discusses the inner connections between western powers in the manhunt for Mladic, Milosevic, and kiradzic.
Genocide, as defined by the International Criminal Court, is defined by these factors:
-killing group members
-bodily/ mental harm to group members
-deliberately inflicting conditions of a group
-effecting birth rate purposefully
-transferring children from one place to another
The overall theme of these is the targeting on one specific group, in this case are the Muslims living in the former Yugoslavia
Also it’s important to remember that Hitler’s fascist influence lead to the collapse of the kingdom of Yugoslavia leading to civil war. Stability only until 1980 when the communist dictator passed. A period of nationalism followed, then successions, then genocide.
If you're an American looking to read up on the Bosnian war at least, this book was written by two American with no connection to the region.
Most big Bulgarian telecom companies, like Vivacom, A1, and Telenor, have started building 5G towers. The most impressive network right now is Vivacom which you can see here.
Of course, ancestry composition results should be taken with a grain of salt as they are based on statistical models, but 23andme is very transparent about their methodology, accuracy and recall rate.
Close but not quite it. Susceptible is easy to influence, povodljiv is quick to become a follower. Although yeah, in the lack of a perfect alternative I'd use susceptible.

This is from Richard C. Hall's The Balkan Wars 1912-1913: Prelude to the First War.
>St Petersburg Ambassadors Conference > >The St Petersburg Ambassadors Conference met at the end of March 1913 with the intention of resolving the Romanian-Bulgarian dispute. It was an adjunct to the London Ambassadors Conference, intended primarily to preserve Russian interests in Bulgaria while extending those same interests to Romania. The St Petersburg government ardently sought the detachment of Bucharest from the Triple Alliance. This was an ambitious undertaking that proved beyond the capabilities of Russian diplomacy. At the same time, the Triple Alliance powers endeavored to maintain Romanian loyalty at the expense of pro-Russian Bulgaria. This meant that Bulgaria would have to pay the price for the interests of the Great Powers. > >On 8 May, the St Petersburg Ambassadors Conference rendered a decision in the Bulgaro-Romanian dispute that assigned the Bulgarian Danubian port of Silistra to Romania. This was a compromise between the Romanian demands for southern Dobrudzha and the Bulgarian refusal to accept any meaningful cession of its territory. Naturally this decision antagonized both sides. The Romanians sought further concessions from Bulgaria in southern Dobrudzha. At the same time, the loss of this ethnically Bulgarian town outraged the Sofia government. The duplicitous Russian policy also made the Bulgarians, who relied on Russia to mediate the growing dispute with Serbia, uncertain about the reliability of the power they depended upon to protect their interests.
There's a great one published by the Croatian community in Australia called Kuhinja moje majke (My mother's kitchen) which features a tonne of recipes in both English and Croatian. Although I think the book is unfortunately out-of-print.
Otherwise, Our Table in Croatia is a decent option.

This book discusses it, Ivan Colovic is probably one of the better scholars of the Kosovo Myth: https://www.amazon.com/Politics-Identity-Serbia-Ivan-Colovic/dp/0814716253
If you are interested in how the myth was utilized by elites in the nation-buliding of the 19th century as well as in the 1980s, to construct Albanians as an ethnic and racial other, see: https://pescanik.net/skanderbeg-was-a-serb/
Because it was part of the USSR, which in its early days was a global leader in women's rights and emancipation, guaranteeing in its constitution "equal rights in all spheres of economic, state, cultural, social, and political life".
In addition they established laws and institutions designed to free women from many of the burdens of household work (which was unpaid and tied a women to being financially dependent on men) like kindergartens, canteens, paid maternity leave and civil marriage rights. Lenin wrote "Petty housework crushes, strangles, stultifies and degrades [the woman], chains her to the kitchen and to the nursery, and wastes her labor on barbarously unproductive, petty, nerve-racking, stultifying and crushing drudgery."

I haven't read the book by T. Gallant
the book "Greece: Biography of a Modern Nation" by R. Beaton has gotten some good critics, although I feel it is more aligned to liberalism. Anyway, nobody is impartial.

No group of people has a single "origin," and people move and breed and mingle so much that trying to pinpoint one is a fool's errand, especially as you go further back in history. It's maybe easier to think about the culture that way, but even that is a slow-growing amalgamation of different groups that weren't in contact and then were, or maybe were, then weren't, and were again, etc. And that will still be different for every individual.
Just before I started grad school, I read this book because like many people I'm fascinated by origin stories, but it lead to the correct if unsatisfying conclusion that there is no single origin for people, and that humans have been in contact with each other for greater distances for far longer than one would imagine, and so a single origin doesn't exist. It's pretty old by now, but still an interesting read.
Moiroloi aren’t unique to Zagorohoria, they’re from all around Epiros. This was a really good book about this guy who discovered an old record in a market in Istanbul and how he went to Epiros to learn its history, how it was made, who performed it and all that. My great uncle organized an Epirote folk concert here in the US as an introduction to the author and the then-upcoming book, then once the book was released set up a talk with him that was really good.
He loved it so much he ended up buying a home in one of the villages he stayed in, and I can’t say I blame him. I always tell my wife that one day I’m going to buy back my Pappou’s old house in our village that he sold a decade ago.
Karlovac, Carlstadt. Now, most of the Balkans' history was to stop the Turkish invasion. I have personally nothing against the Turkish people, I love and respect them. It was our mutual history, people. We can't change it. I respect every nation. I have no opinion that we have to retaliate or revenge or do any harsh language.
In history, Archduke Charles II created one town as a fortress. Karlovac. That was the border between our loving Muslim friends Turks and us, Christians. That was the border of Europe. I don't want to offend anyone. That is history.
I encourage all of you to study history. Do not take history as a title in newspapers. Go further and learn. This was just one moment in time. That is my humble opinion. Respect to you all.
I think this is the book, but i read Bosnian version so i am not sure.

Russian style Communism was always a veneer over nationalism, even though it was always ritualistically denounced in favor of "internationalism", but that regime wouldn't have lasted even a few months had it not always been associated with "politics of grandeur" for Russia, and the top leadership was always--a few exceptions that prove the rule excepted--ethnic Russian.
In this, there are some curious commonalities with the openly nationalistic Fascists. It was was common knowledge in Italy of the 20s that perhaps half of the original marchers on Rome, including Mussolini, had been socialists at one time or another.
Also, in places like Israel they didn't even make any pretense of socialist ideals having any importance next to ethnic supremacy even though the official ruling party was Labour for its first 3 decades and the ruling ideology was "Nationalist Socialist".
Its about under what socio-political circumstances this religion became wide spread: the new testiment, that in some sense founded christianity breaking away from judaism (old testiment), was written in greek and spread through the Roman empire. The Roman Empire left its mark on the newly formed religion in the way its "religious practises" were formulated, essentialy shapping the early churches.
Of course after the schism you had the Orthodox in the east started to differentiate from the West etc
So indeed the Roman empire is to christianity what the early arab caliphates were to islam.

There's a very unhealthy cult of Kemal, esp. strong among English speaking urban population. Rest of Europe went past that type of hero worship in waves, '45 obviously, '56 (Stalin), '75 onwards (Franco), but Turkey remains stuck in Mussolini's Italy-like headspace indefinitely.

This comment will be downvoted to hell by same types mentioned above, but for those outside Turkey the real danger is and remains nationalists of the type who served as inspiration for Hitler:

Yeah , cause we are close but it depends also on altitude and topography of the place.
For example my town now is at 38C and it will be 27 at night, by Parnitha which is mountainous is at 28C right now and it will be lower at night . http://penteli.meteo.gr/stations/parnitha/
And Heraklion has 31C right now , even though it’s southern than my town.

the real question about that statistics is how does albania have 1/3 of Moldova's bandwith on steam and barely more than a much smaller Montenegro.
it still doesnt make sense to compare Guerilla units commiting massacres with state industrial genocide of peopleneither in numbers of the victims, nor the reason they were killed
it is proven that the activity of the Ustase and the cruelty pushed the cetniks.
Increased activity of the bands is chiefly due to atrocities carried out by Ustaše units in Croatia against the Orthodox population. The Ustaše committed their deeds in a bestial manner not only against males of conscript age, but especially against helpless old people, women and children. The number of the Orthodox that the Croats have massacred and sadistically tortured to death is about three hundred thousand.
— Gestapo report to Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler, 17 February 1942.
there was no Croatian question within Serbia, or some 1/3 1/3 1/3 agenda. You think that Draza had controll over all cetniks in EX-YU ? then ur absolutly delusional, his trial is more as questionable to say the least. Can recommend you this, a american journalist who was with draza at war. His trial is questionable aswell, his lawyer even died to weird circumstances

There are Turkish coffee machines online that you can buy. We bought ours on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GQT2R3L?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
I even make mine with oat milk because it gives it a more smooth flavor. If you ever want to ground your coffee beans to Turkish style, you can go to Starbucks and they'll ground it Turkish style for you. They have coffee ground machines that have the Turkish option on them.
You can calculate your target height. You just need the length of your parents. It’s more accurate.
Yeah.. I tried to find an online pdf/epub file for you, but unfortunately only thing I can find is this overpriced $40 one on Amazon. It seems like those translations were very limited edition ones for our diaspora in Australia.
Serbia and FR Yugoslavia after have a very strange relationship to Jews and Israel. Yugoslavia had a very strong policy of support for the Palestinian liberation struggle, but as soon as the SFRY collapsed, Serbia decided to do an about-face towards Israel. Since then, I would argue that there is in public a very dangerous kind of philosemitism that is defined by the idea of a mutually-benefital relationship with Israel. Israeli firms are large investors in real estate in Belgrade, and Serbia also purchases weapons from Israel.
I honestly find this form very strange, particularly since there is little effort to actually work on reviving Jewish life in Belgrade. Indeed, it seems that these are merely performative gestures for the benefit of Serbian nationalism. Reminds me of Trump's relationship with Israel, while at the same time fostering antisemites at home. I will say that from anecdotal evidence that there is some amount of everyday antisemitism in Serbia.
If you want to know more about this whole story, Marko Živković (who is Jewish) has a chapter about it called "The Wish to Be a Jew" in an otherwise great book called the Serbian Dreambook. I highly recommend it.
Oh, and also some Shira Utfila!

Ruth Mitchell (ca. 1889–1969) was a reporter who was the only American woman to serve with the Serbian Chetnik under Draža Mihailović in World War II.[1][2] She was captured by the Gestapo and spent a year as a prisoner of war, later writing a book about her experiences. She also wrote a book about one of her brothers, General Billy Mitchell, who is regarded as the founder of the U.S. Air Force
give it a try, not everything is black/white, hence why draza is controversial. In RS hes highly celebrated, ive seen some monuments and he also has monuments in the USA aswell.
Why is there no globally outrage for that ?
I posted this below, but I'll add it here. for visibility (hopefully) There were black people in medieval Eastern (and Western) Europe. Pushkin's grandfather was black.
https://www.amazon.com/Black-Africans-Renaissance-Europe-Earle/dp/0521176603
There were black people in the Balkans too, known as Arap. Their (few) descendants live in Ulcinj, Montenegro and Shkodra, Albania.
Yes, you are in general right. I would add though, the story is more complex, and what the the International Monetary Fund and other creditors think about your country is not always a good measure of the health of the economy. They notoriously privilege certain sectors to benefit the West, and the 80s was the heyday of early neoliberalism. The IMF was not that great to Yugoslavia. I like this book about it (her second book Socialist Unemployment is also good):

No. If anyone wants to understand the psychology behind beliefs in conspiracy theories, astrology, occultism, mysticism, spirituality, religions, etc., etc. - I recommend reading this book:
“Description: It is no a mere coincidence that both Jews and Serbs are nations who had survived the greatest number of prosecutions and genocides through history of all nations on planet. Also, it can’t be a coincidence that anti-Semitism, including hatred against Serbs, has always been the most popular and the most widespread world ideology. And again, if we know all of that, then, is it just a coincidence that Jews are called the God’s nation in the Bible, and that an eminent Jewish scholar called Serbs by that name, knowing at the same time that both Jews and Serbs were of the same spiritual and genetic origin?”

O.o
It gets weirder and weirder. I’ve seen too many wierd things here
Edit - I mean, any hatred against Serbs is caused by shifty leaders and their policies. Before that, they were in the empire like everyone else.
