Conserva means tinned food in Russian. This would work too given the stereotypes of the sort who would eat tinned food.

Very cool. Thanks!

I’m a bit uninformed on this; it seems fascinating. Do these things happen due to something unusual during the growth of a fetus? What’s the name for this phenomenon?

A small handful of politicians a mass movement does not make

Personally saying that socialism is half-dead seems like a good description to me. It was also seen as an improvement from being totally dead in that interview. Adam himself is a union guy so he definitely seems not defeatist.

Ah, thanks.

I missed the NG era as a young lad. Would you please elaborate?
