This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 72%. (I'm a bot)


Russia's government extended support to a legislative amendment that would classify maps that dispute the country's official "Territorial integrity" as punishable extremist materials, the state-owned TASS news agency reported on Sunday.
The amendment to Russia's anti-extremism legislation stipulates that "Cartographic and other documents and images that dispute the territorial integrity of Russia" will be classified as extremist materials, the agency reported.
The new amendment, TASS reports without citing sources, emerged after its authors pointed out that some maps distributed in Russia dispute the "Territorial affiliation" of the Crimean Peninsula and the Kuril Islands.

If we keep telling ourselves we own Ukraine... *Inhales Copium* then it is true and everyone will have to believe us now, we've drawn it on a map, what more evidence do people need... *Inhales more Copium* >

I mean I could draw a map that has Russia being the original borders of the Grand Dutchy of Muscovy in Modern Day. That could solve some of these pesky territorial disputes. Much harder to claim territory that you don't have a border with. >

Far more believable than the one they're trying to push. The way their economy is going, and the fact pulter is willing to throw his entire population into the meat grinder, it could very possibly become reality. >

How wild it would be to live through the same country collapsing twice >

Stay tuned!  If you were born before 1993, you're about to find out! >

And I back a plan of banning maps of Russia in them. >

No no. Let us have maps that show russia and only russia while at the same time removing the word federation and then split off the absorbed nations in the region an give them back their borders.
If we are redrawing map lets do it so that it counts. >

Lol this is some clutching at straws shit right here. >

It's some serious Fuhrerbunker in April 1945 shit. >

Just make all Russian maps have no boarders, and just scrawl "Russia" over everything, That way they won't feel the need to invade anywhere. >

And if people ask why they still have to have passports just tell them it's a transition period with end date to be determined.
Problem solved. >

just a reminder that they have territorial disputes with china. >

Where? Didn't they settle them already? >

So are they gonna ban google, apple maps on all the phones and make their own phones?
Quite sure Google won't change their maps to Russian's version. >

Google did a long time ago. When you look at Crimea in Google maps it shows Crimea as part of Russia. 
At one time the same was true of Apple, but they changed it back to Ukraine at some point. >

I'm pretty sure it depends on which country you are in >

Didn't they originally invade Ukraine with outdated maps? 
I read somewhere that during the initial phase, Ukrainians were changing road signs and even adding such signs as 'Welcome to Poland' to confuse the russians. >

That is what happens when your president is a former comedian: You find some humor in the worst moments! >

I don't know that changing maps to suit your political ideology is all that helpful. Are they going to have their military use maps that tell them the front line is in a totally different location because that is where they wish it to be? I can't see any possible downsides. >

It's propaganda for the masses. Will not affect military maps or abything used by the government. >

This is North Korea level of crazy.  But, you do you.  They’ll figure out how that worked for North Korea eventually. >

Well, their war against maps will go much smoother than the war in Ukraine so cant really blame them. >

I wouldn't be so certain. I've read that since declaring their war on maps, Russia has already lost thousands of troops. >

Doesn't China already do this kind of lame crap with Taiwan? >

Yep, big difference here being that china's the one making and selling us those maps and globes while we laugh at russia. >

Russia is rapidly transforming itself into NK. It will soon be a hermit nation that lives in its own little version of reality. The rest of the world will point and laugh at what imbeciles they are even as they tell their citizens that it’s much better to be in a shithole like Russia than in wealthy, prosperous and free western countries.
And Russian citizens are standing around with their thumbs up their asses watching it happen. 
Almost tragic >

80% of North Korean civilization is underweight because they don't have enough food.
I wonder what will happen when Russians realize they need their potatoes for food and won't be able to make Vodka anymore 🤔 >

They would eat less, to drink the same amount. >

Russia propaganda at it's worst:   only our maps are reliable....don't believe the rest of the world. >

I’m currently remapping my land to take over my neighborhood.   It’s mine.  Don’t you dare show me any maps that say otherwise! >

Ruzzia: "Only maps from 40 years ago are valid!"
(Except East/West Germany are one, there is no USSR and no matter how much they cry their stolen territories will be repossessed by Ukraine and their Imperialistic Government will be made to go fuck itself). >

Yep, that's why they dug trenches in Chernobyl exclusion area. Cause it wasn't there yet on their maps. >

You really gotta feel sorry for some of these raw recruits they threw into some of these situations. They'll probably never really understand why they got cancer at 35 (assuming they make it home alive...) >

Maybe just take a Sharpie and change the maps, nobody will notice. >

Has Russia even released an official map that shows where their newly claimed borders are? >

Anyone else expect to see a punchline when the words 'Russia' and 'integrity' are used in the same sentence? >

Damn, it means now I have lots of illegal maps. And most of schools too >

I wonder what would happen to all those laws and reforms when Putin dies? Will they continue because people are already used to it or just roll back because it was wrong in the first place? >

Why don’t they change their name, from Russia, to Eastern Korea >

Is this the same map, trump used when the hurricane came thru
