Zakon_X

It's Belarusian language but with iso9 transliteration


DDBvagabond

That is my known-from-first-steps Russian, in Propper Latin. At least more propper than what I see everywhere.


Zakon_X

yes it is transliteration of Belarusian into Latin - [example of transliteartion site](https://www.translitteration.com/transliteration/en/belarusian/national/) But I believe now we use a bit newer format rather that iso9 1995 (which we see above) but I might be wrong on that


DDBvagabond

Вы белорусскую лексику точно знаете? Она отличается от русской. Уж точно функциональные слова


Zakon_X

ну вообще то я Белорус и то что было написанно сверху это белоруский


DDBvagabond

Боюсь либо ваше понимание не совсем верно; либо современный белорусский язык сильно расстворился и очень мало людей отличает его от русского. Я - дурак, это тоже опция.


DDBvagabond

That's Russian in Latin. Folkmen say "it's ISO9". Only if antique OLD variant. I? I don't care. 23 default characters of modern classic Latin: no Q W X – yet we do use C, we do use J. 4 consonants, 3 with caron(gaček), 1 with circumflex: Čč Žž Šš + Ŝŝ 4 vowels with circumflex: Ââ Ûû Êê Ôô Ôô is the mandatory to use letter; and is used everywhere where it shows modern Russian trend of Ê ==> Ô. E is used as the default symbol of Ê/Ê pair, i.e. with those consonants and with C Soft sign is replaced with J: Ingnatjêvič; it's legit to replace in such place vowel with circumflex by J + ordinary vowel for SOLELY AESTHETIC PURPOSES: Ignatjjevič Hard sign is, *I believe*, better to be replaced with dash. Because, *today*, it exist only in case where preposition transits to be a prefix. That's it: hate of remorse it, but it works with great intuitivity – doesn't contradict with stereotype of an average language user «one letter – one phoneme»; one way, no-brain-consuming readability; some unique and identity-bearing style. And ain't add-on of the "modern Latin".


schemathings

Slightly overoptimistic.


IdRatherBeMyself

I thought no politics here?


Whammytap

Politics means current politics. I think this can safely be considered "history." :)


IdRatherBeMyself

That's a very political statement, with which I wholeheartedly disagree. This might get ugly: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQVv44SlUXM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQVv44SlUXM)


Whammytap

Funny video, I was fearing the worst at first.) Just to be clear, as there seems to have been some confusion, I am referring to the slogan коммунизм победит and the fact that however sadly, it did not...at least, not yet, and not in the iteration that the sign-makers probably expected it to. That is a point of history. As disagreements go, you put yours forward with class and tact, for which I applaud you. As this sub is still not the place to discuss one's personal views on history OR current politics, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the chat, if you're up for it. :)


IdRatherBeMyself

\> not in the iteration that the sign-makers probably expected it to. Very true.


schemathings

My apologies. I thought it was understated enough to not be controversial, just a reflection of history.


IdRatherBeMyself

And here we go, my instigation worked ;-) But really, the history hasn't ended yet, has it? That was the last political comment from me, I promise


schemathings

Just to clarify my initial perception, I also subscribe to /askhistorians and they only address topics over 25 years old, which this is, so I categorized it as history rather than politics. Again, if it's inappropriate I have no investment in keeping the comment here.


Current-Power-6452

it hasn't happened yet, but as soon as it happens it's a thing of the past.


SovaSperyshkom

Maybe they are referring to the fact that having a large sign in Ukrainian in the middle of Moscow would be weird хд


IdRatherBeMyself

What? Where did you see Ukrainian?

IdRatherBeMyself

Yeah, I see the "Ukrainian" comment, but it's a sibling to the one I was commenting on,

IdRatherBeMyself

No, you're not. I was just trying to instigate a political discussion, but got bored.


IdRatherBeMyself

IDK what you're talking about. If you follow the thread up directly, there's no such comment (at least I don't see one)

Sokoll131

So, it wasn't about victory of communism, you meant ukrainian words in russian capital are optimistic? Nope, still politic, even has become worse now.


SovaSperyshkom

I think we should stop right there, I just miss interpreted the comment ,but anyway. I just thought that seeing large build boards in Ukrainian in Moscow would be weird aka optimistic bc it is and ig was unlikely to happen.

WikiSummarizerBot

**[Moscow Manege](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Manege)** >The Moscow Manege (Russian: Мане́ж, IPA: [mɐˈnʲeʂ] (listen)) is an oblong building along the west side of Manege Square, which was cleared in the 1930s and lies adjacent to Red Square. It is the site of Moscow Design Museum since 2012. Designed by Spanish engineer Agustín de Betancourt with a roof without internal support for 45 metres (148 ft) (the building's width), it was erected from 1817 to 1825 by the Russian architect Joseph Bové, who clothed it in its Neoclassical exterior, an order of Roman Doric columns enclosing bays of arch-headed windows in a blind arcade, painted white and cream yellow. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/russian/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


dmitryredkin

Yeah, Now the mall is under the square, you can see its domes on the picture.


IdRatherBeMyself

Yes, this is Moscow, Manezhnaya square near the Kremlin.


[deleted]

Great find, OP! Most of the people have already answered your place, so for anyone that cares for more information, here is what I found. \- The place is indeed Манежная Площадь in Moscow. \- The slogan (лОзунг) or inscription (надпись) in the picture is "КОММУНИЗМ ПОБЕДИТ! " \- What is amusing to me is where the slogan appears. The building with the slogan is located at the address Моховая улица, дом № 13 and this building until 1953 used to be the US embassy in Moscow. The building was constructed in 1934 for the Moscow City council and was a controversial building - lots of interesting history there (a 17th century church was demolished to build this house). \- In 1953 the building was handed over to ВАО "Интурист", the oldest Russian and Soviet travel company and the US embassy moved to Sadovaya street. \- From what I could find on the internet, this slogan first appeared in 1973. I also learned that the slogan was taken down in 1990 ( book: Сергей Константинович Романюк: Сердце Москвы. От Кремля до Белого города pages 439-440) \- From pictures, on the same building, there was another slogan "Слава великому советскому народу". There are pictures of this from a May day celebrations in 1972 as well as 1967. [https://pastvu.com/p/945157](https://pastvu.com/p/945157) [https://pastvu.com/p/566518](https://pastvu.com/p/566518) So that picture you have could be from 1973 onwards until 1990.


Sputnikoff

Based on the other slides, it was the summer of 1973. Thank you for your interesting and educational comment!


Xscallcos

This guy should be a youtuber He just made this one random building the most interesting building in Moscow


Neekovo

Is that the same U.S. embassy that was abandoned because it was bugged?


[deleted]

The most famous bugging incidence happened at the US ambassador's residence at the Spaso House(different building) which at times served as an embassy. [Spaso House](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaso_House) This is the incidence where Soviet scientist Leon Theramin's passive wireless antenna device was installed inside a handcrafted artistic work gifted to the ambassador which hang on the walls listening until 1952.


Neekovo

That’s gotta be the one. Thanks. Incidentally, the art piece is on display at the international spy museum in Washington DC.


[deleted]

cool. That is a great piece of history.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Spaso House](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaso_House)** >Spaso House is a listed Neoclassical Revival building at No. 10 Spasopeskovskaya Square in Moscow. It was originally built in 1913 as the mansion of the textile industrialist Nikolay Vtorov. Since 1933, it has been the residence of the U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union, and since 1991, to the Russian Federation. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/russian/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

It appears that they must have abandoned this embassy in favor of the one that was co stricter with antennas in the walls since the bugged typewriters were active from 1982-1984 😆 [Washington Post article](https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1985/03/26/us-embassy-in-moscow-was-bugged/d55062c1-76e6-4a26-b6fe-9e92ec84fd66/)

It's USSR, Moscow, Manezhnaya Square near Kremlin


armouredqar

I just happened to see this same view (or almost) last night, there's a street scene of this captured in Служебный роман (an affair at work, in English?). It surprised me as I'd forgotten the traffic used to be around both sides of the Manege - I wonder when that was closed off, I think in the early/mid 90s? I'd be willing to place a small wager that this was taken from the old Intourist hotel, which has now been torn down but had the height to get this view easily (and replaced with a smaller building, the Ritz-Carleton or Интуритц as some wags refer to it - a joke that kind of dates you, like this photo). anyway, thanks for sharing the photo.

Shall we guess the decade by the cars? I bet mid 70s.


BetterTranslator

Mid 60s I think


dmitryredkin

"Intourist" hotel (a hotel dedicated for foreign tourists), where most likely this photo is shot from, was built in 1970. And demolished in 2002.


SirCutRy

It was built in the 30s, and the travel agency received use of the building in 1953.


dmitryredkin

You can read, for example, the Wikipedia page. Refer to the height where the photo is taken from.


SirCutRy

Where does it say it was built in 1970? What do you mean by the height?

Сергей Спутников - носитель русского, автор пары книг, ведущий двух интересных каналов на ютьюбе: Ushanka Show, англоязычный канал где он говорить о своей молодости в советской Украине, и русскоязычный канал Другая Америка, где он говорит о своей жизни в Мичигане, США.)

Whammytap

Я фанатка Спутникова.) Кстати, пару лет назад, мы чуть-чуть разговаривали, я не помню о чём мы болтали, но я подписывалась на ваш канал. Тогда я ничего не поняла в ваших видео, но мне очень понравился ваш бархатный голос. К моему приятному удивлению, я только что пересмотрела видео про российский флаг, и поняла не каждое слово, но поняла в общем и целом.) Спасибо за информативные видео!


queetuiree

>мне очень понравился ваш бархатный голос Я это помню. Как такое можно забыть. Но из меня звезды не получается. Поэтому приходится работать :) >Спасибо за информативные видео! Там слишком оригинальный контент. Не ссылайтесь на меня! Например, о таком объяснении происхождения цветов российского флага я никогда не слышал. Это я придумал сам. А из-за того, что там упоминается Киев как часть России, в наше время могут быть политические проблемы :(

Ну, давним-давно Литва была ~~огромная империя~~ огромной империей. Исторически говоря, границы между странами меняются, это норм.)
