Hallo Sca, Nuland was playing Brzezinski's Grand Chessboard, vielleicht hast Du Freude an dem Text/Audio-Podcast: http://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=20781 . Schönen Abend, Sei.--79.223.8.92 (talk) 01:19, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Hey, Sca, could I get a quick opinion on this: :File:S.M._kleiner_kreuzer_Gazelle_-_restoration.jpg? I thought it worth improving, but, while it serves a unique and useful purpose, it's not really as good as some of the other ship pics I have. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 01:42, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

:Looking it over, it looks like we do not have another image from the Gazelle-class. However, it appears to also be the ugliest image in :commons:Category:Hugo Graf, which is certainly not a good thing. Perhaps I should just shove it to the bottom of the nomination pile, and decide after all the better images are done. There's 27 remaining in the set. I can always nominate that one when all the others are done, when I'll have the justification of completeness. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 13:43, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

::Yes. The so-called New Soviet Man (sometimes sarcastically termed Homo Sovieticus), who supposedly had no inner-directed personal motives, but lived only to serve the collective. Pasternak was an early critic. Nazi monumental art such as the work of Arno Breker (right) was broadly similar, for analogous reasons, and equally obnoxious.

::Soviet ideologues also asserted that they had "solved the nationalities problem," a claim more recent events show to have been utterly fallacious. Sca (talk) 14:43, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

:::PS: This [https://www.flickr.com/photos/andygilham/44386656] statue of Lenin formerly stood at the center of Lukiškės Square in Vilnius. It was so arranged that Vladimir was gesturing toward the building that housed KGB headquarters — and now houses the Museum of Genocide Victims, which I've been through. Old Baldy's thumb apparently was broken off when he was toppled and trucked away in 1991, winding up ultimately in Grūtas Park near Druskienniki. Sca (talk) 15:35, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

::Well, I understand that this was the idea, not to have no inner-directed personal motives. But if all of them who were forced to live there really was lacking inner-directed personal motives, and lived only to serve the collective - or not - that is difficult to judge. I understand that this was the idea, basically. But I think it is difficult to surpress such things... Maybe many had some inner motivation, but concealed it ... in the middle of an unhappy situation. Have you noticed the big amount of good artists in these countries? They might have used their capacity that way... A contradiction. Hafspajen (talk) 01:01, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

:::Of course people weren't devoid of personal motives. That's not human nature. They had love affairs, marriages, families, careers, personal triumphs and tragedies, etc. In the early days, some were idealistic about Communism, but ultimately most people dealt with the system as best they could for their own benefit. (Unfortunately, all too many wound up in the Gulag.) I think that, by the '60s (or '70s, at least), most Soviet citizens were highly cynical about the dysfunctional ideology and retreated into their private lives.

:::(For a time I was married to an ex-Soviet citizen.)

:::Yes, I've noticed the extraordinary number of artists in those countries, especially in music — the universal language. I think music provided for expression of the inner person that was mostly untainted by the imposed ideology. Sca (talk) 14:26, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

File:Kaiserschmarrn-mitPreiselbeeren.jpg

1.

The name Kaiserschmarrn means Schmarrn (shredded pancake) of the Kaiser (emperor), whereby Schmarrn has also get the meaning of "folly". Therefore Kaiser Franz Joseph's love for this kind of fluffy shredded pancake was his "folly".

2.

The translation of Kaiserschmarrn has generated some etymological debate. While “Kaiser” is literally translatable (as Emperor), the same cannot be said for “Schmarrn” or more correctly “Schmarren”. “Schmarrn” has been translated as a mishmash, a mess, crumbs, a trifle, a nonsense, a fluff.

What is correct? Hafspajen (talk) 01:19, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

::Hafspajen, Weiß nicht genau. Truth be told, I'm not fluent in German, although I can read it pretty well.

::* Bing translates Schmarrn simply as "pancake."

::* German Wiki has this to say:

::::Als Schmarrn oder Schmarren (seit dem 16. Jhd. oberdeutsch zu "Schmer, schmieren"), in der schwäbischen, sowie in der badischen Küche auch Kratzete, werden einige – meist süße – Mehlspeisen der bayerischen und österreichischen Küche bezeichnet. Bekannte Varianten sind der Kaiserschmarrn, bestehend aus zerteilten Pfannkuchen, der Semmelschmarrn, bestehend aus blättrig geschnittenen Semmeln, der Grießschmarrn oder die salzige Variante, der Kartoffelschmarrn.

::::Im übertragenen Sinn wird das Wort "Schmarrn" als Ausdruck der Geringschätzung im Sinne von "Unsinn" verwendet.

::So, as a figure of speech, Schmarrn means something like: Quatsch! Baloney! BS!

::Speaking of Schwäbisch — My maternal grandmother, who was of Swabian descent, used to trot out this little epigram as a joke:
