Super_Mep Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Oodly it says for Mother Russia but then has a picture of the hammer and sickle which was for the USSR. So I'm confused. Also I agree with you. Poor taste. You could argue this was done a long time ago before the conflict in Ukraine but they could have changed the name before release. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm confused. It has always been the Motherland and It was the Russian Empire before USSR. Simple history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sendai-Horatio Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) Russia existed before communism was a thing and continued to exist well after it. Peter The Great was born in the late 1600's and he attempted to modernize the country even back then. Russia made sweeping changes culturally decades before the founding of America.

Super_Mep Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Right, but wasn't the hammer and sickle only for the USSR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EqualityEarth Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I guess command & conquer red alert 3 should just get shut down now instead of on the announced date (11/30?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dauersack Posted September 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2022 Mother Russia as a concept is a lot older than the current leader of Russia, or the current form of Russia, a quick google search tells me that the female personification of Russia is something that has been around since medieval times. Not that it really matters, because there is also the little fun fact that this is a video game. There are communist trophies, nazi trophies, slaver trophies, genocide trophies, destroy the world trophies, destroy the galaxy trophies, kill that cute animal trophies, cannibal trophies, I could go on all day like this but you get the picture. Plenty of games in the next months will have Russia in it, some will likely let you play as a Russian soldier of some sorts, and plenty of trophies like this will be there, so guess this will be a hard time for you because I doubt any developer will change anything about it, nor should they. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't change the fact that the call has pretty much always been For Mother Russia, even during communism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
