A modern united Europe ? Do we even live on the same fuckin’ continent or is that just the typical wishful thinking that’s rampant in the community ?

I assumed this was meant as an reply to my comment that Belarusian is always Russian. So, Kellomies, sit, relax, and then google definition of a “joke”. Maybe some day, you’ll get it and stop being so uptight.

Sputnik in Russia has a kind of cult status. The day is mentioned on television and radio and so on. It may be that outside of Russia people do not understand it. It has nothing to do with a celebration of Communism.

WG just brings russian everyday life in the game they created.

Someone told me that Sputnik was selected for commemoration over the the other finalist for the NA Event, the Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia on October 3, 1993 (aka “Blackhawk Down”).

Let me put it this way: two words.

Creator. Provincialism.

Belarus used to be part of the USSR, so of course they’ll prefer to celebrate Sputnik over the Yom Kippur War. To add further insult to injury, the USSR supplied the Arabs with weapons and equipment, and were soundly defeated in an upset victory by Israel, who would have invaded Egypt if not for the fact that both NATO and the USSR threatened to intervene.

So…yeah, of course they’re going to show favoritism towards the accomplishments of the USSR. That being said, Sputnik’s launch WAS a ground-breaking event, but as stated, it has NOTHING to do with tanks, at all!

That would be quite the incorrect claim: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarusians
What next, “an Ukranian is always Russian”?
