I don't even care if my post got deleted, yes I don't go outside my apartment much, because of health problems, that doesn't mean I don't know the history of my own country and its cities, I also watch TV and read probably a lot more books than you do. You say I overreact, but you're doing the same, if you don't like my comments, for the tentieth time, IGNORE ME.

Also -- you're on my ignore list now, can't see your posts anymore.

It seems that facts and truth are hard to digest and accept nowadays.

Founded by Greeks and formed part of many kingdoms, including Spain, and was conquered by France several times. Lately, they were part of the realm of Corse before being taken by France. They have their own language or dialect and have a distinct personality. Not Italian character, but the usual wealthy resort that received "tourists" from England during the last 200 years.

The Nice dialect is included in the "Italian language family" and it has several features in common with Ligurian whereas the city remained in the Italian sphere for most the Middle Age and from 1699 till 1860 (but 23 years in 1792-1815) it was Piedmontian.
It suffices to say that one of the most importance squares is "Place Giuseppe Garibaldi" to counter your remaining arguments.

Really? Tataric souls? You're from the Ukraine, is not it?

Rusophobes exist all over europe, but so do and rusophiles. What the Bulgarian writer Ivan Vazov wrote will be remembered too

"Земля великая, Россия,
всей ширью, светом, мощью ты
с небесной только схожа синью,
с душою русской широты."

I hate Putin and current Russian politics in general, but hating all 146 267 288 people who live there is extremely stupid.

Common Bulgarians are prorussian due to historical reasons, they view Russians as the people that freed them from Turks. Many cultured Bulgarians share a vitriolic hate towards Russians, and they all think that Zhikov was a moron for being such a brownose. They also remember vividly the invasion and occuptation, as it happened yesterday and that was in 1944. They also share a tremendous fear to "tsarist Putin" and share the view that Russians will never change. They blame Putin of EI, attacks to Turkey, and just say they are irrational.


They are also afraid because, even though they are in NATO, they only have two old russian planes...and they don't want to pay Russia for their maintenance and are dependent on gas.

The Nice dialect is related to Occitan, Garibaldi was born there, when Italy did not exist, that's why thera are squares all around. He might be also Brazilian for all that I know, since he lived there a large part of his existence.
