Haunting_Resource_74@reddit

Not Ukraine, writing on the road on russian or maybe bulgarian

Select-You7784@reddit

The shop signs are definitely not in russian. I’d say the words look like AI generated shit.

This photo was taken in Russia. The city is Tyumen. The exact address of the building in the photo is: 50k1 Ulitsa 30 Let Pobedy, Tyumen, 625016. The photo is old; I think it dates back to around 2014–2016. Street View of this location (more recent, of course): https://maps.app.goo.gl/KWz3d1Qs8L8r5nAQ7 or https://yandex.com/maps/-/CPfnbGzb

Russia))) Random our city/town, there's a lot of that here. A nervous breakdown for a perfectionist.

no

bezb19@reddit

ai generated crap

[-]

morbihann@reddit

The writting is either in Ukrainian or Russian, so either one.

[-]

Township_Roller@reddit

But everything else looks miserably russian, so I would guess it's there

[-]

Jonny_Dallas@reddit

Hahaha! Russian only. And never in Ukraine

[-]

dragecs@reddit

This is not the Balkans here we have a belief that you should not cross the street diagonally because it brings bad luck.

[-]

CataphractBunny@reddit

Bulgaria?

[-]

Smilodon24@reddit

These crosswalk signs are used in Ukraine, Russia and Belaurs. So one of those

[-]

Jonny_Dallas@reddit

Not Ukraine

[-]

vbd71@reddit

Could be, but the inscription, although in Cyrillic, isn't in Bulgarian.

[-]

CataphractBunny@reddit

I saw the Cyrillic, didn't understand what it said which means it's not Serbian, and went with Bulgaria. Because we're on the AskBalkans sub. Neither Russia nor Belarus are Balkan states. OP is being a meanie. qq

[-]

vbd71@reddit

the word in question is written the same in Serbian and Bulgarian.

[-]

dwartbg9@reddit

Nope, we don't have the word "Дети" in Bulgarian

[-]

No-Championship-4632@reddit

I've heard some Roma people near Burgas use it. Not in plural though, in singular.

[-]

vbd71@reddit

I meant, it is one and the same in Serbian an Bulgarian, different from what is written on the picture.

[-]

CataphractBunny@reddit

What word are you referencing?

[-]

vbd71@reddit

Kids

[-]

CataphractBunny@reddit

The word says "DETI", while Serbian word would be "DECA". According to Bulgarian commenters here, it's "DECA" in Bulgarian as well.

[-]

vbd71@reddit

Yes, that's correct, but in Bulgarian it's written in Cyrillic.

[-]

CataphractBunny@reddit

I'm glad we sorted it out:

the word in question is written the same in Serbian and Bulgarian.

[-]

vbd71@reddit

Me too.

[-]

Mucupka@reddit

Nope, in Bulgarian is ДЕЦА, not ДЕТИ.

[-]

Mysterious-Put1459@reddit

No wonder Bulgaria is bottom of PISA rankings

[-]

Mucupka@reddit

You could really interpret the comment I was replying to in two ways, calm down.

[-]

Mysterious-Put1459@reddit

How so?

[-]

CataphractBunny@reddit

The same as Serbian, then. Guess that's the word he was talking about. I even zoomed in to check that store in the background and that just confirmed that it was Serbia.

[-]

Weak-Hunter4334@reddit

No word like this in Serbian, although it obviously means children.

[-]

Inevitable-Theory901@reddit

Road is too good, couldn’t be

[-]

tiga_94@reddit

this is 100% russia, russian made cars(gaz 3302, gaz 3307 seen in this pic), russian style road markings, etc.

[-]

Outside_Resist_8319@reddit

Not sure. Check shop signs.

[-]

tiga_94@reddit

looks like ai upscaling of low-res image to me

[-]

Outside_Resist_8319@reddit

Definitely, that is why letters looks like gibberish. Blue shop sign meaningless and red shop sigh something like автосль... which you can produce different things in different languages using Cyrillic alphabet.

[-]

arf_arf1@reddit

ДЕТИ on the road is clearly legible though.

[-]

Outside_Resist_8319@reddit

Дети mark you can see in everywhere where crillic is used except some local changes.

[-]

Jonny_Dallas@reddit

Deti is only in ruzzia

[-]

NizkiProfil@reddit

no, DETI is in Russian. In Serbia they usually put SKOLA instead of DECA.

[-]

Outside_Resist_8319@reddit

Kyrgyzstan?

[-]

arf_arf1@reddit

? The Ukrainian word for kids is Діти and the Bulgarian is Деца same as Serbian, but they would likely use latin script on the road as opposed to the Respublika. But the other signs and the yellow-white zebra implies post Soviet so can't be the Balkans.

Admittedly, it could be the stans. I don't know enough about roads there.
