Such is life in the Zone.

From what I’m reading, these changes were already present in the console ports released last year, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 also doesn’t have a Russian dub.

      ‘The Holodomor’ is a Neonazi propaganda buzzword invented in the 80s to equivocate between the USSR and the Third Reich, specifically chosen to imply similarity to the Holocaust which in turn is a form of Holocaust minimization. The origin of the ‘intentional famine’ myth was literally Joseph fucking Goebbels, and was spread by the media empire of avowed fascist William Randolph Hearst.

      The article doesn’t touch on Holodomor either

      Why would natural disasters be relevant in this context in general?

      your point would make more sense in the context only if Germany were currently ruled by a dictator whose forces were occupying Ukraine, forcing its people to speak German, trying to rebuild Nazi Germany, and so on

      The article doesn’t touch on Holodomor either. Regardless, your point would make more sense in the context only if Germany were currently ruled by a dictator whose forces were occupying Ukraine, forcing its people to speak German, trying to rebuild Nazi Germany, and so on, and the game devs would have responded by removing Nazi symbols and the German audio.
