"Inside the shrine, Zukovskis, 61, begins with a ritual of gratitude. 'We can feel safe because of support from Britain, the United States,' he says, before listing several other nations. 'Regardless of what Mordor [Russia] does, Ukraine is safeguarded. We’re on their side, and they’re on ours.'... The rebirth of the Baltic countries’ pre-Christian faiths has been intimately bound up with geopolitics ever since they were reconstructed by Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians under Russian rule before the First World War. After the region was recaptured by the USSR in 1944, neopaganism was banned.... [This] faith is the product of decades of efforts to reconstruct the nature-rooted spirituality that prevailed in the Baltic before the Teutonic knights swept in and imposed Christianity at swordpoint. 'The main gods that we respect are basically connected to what is earth, what is fire; the most basic things for living that we cherish,' says Laimutis Vasilevicius, 68, a Romuva priest in Panevezys. So, for example, the shiver you might feel when something significant happens is identified as the work of Perkunas, the thunder deity."I was interested in that stray "Mordor [Russia]." Googling, I found this BBC article from January 2016:
Google has fixed a bug in an online tool after it began translating "Russian Federation" to "Mordor". Mordor is the name of a fictional region nicknamed "Land of Shadow" in JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books. In addition, "Russians" was translated to "occupiers" and the surname of Sergey Lavrov, the country's Foreign Minister, to "sad little horse". The errors had been introduced to Google Translate's Ukrainian to Russian service automatically, Google said.
Google claimed that these translations were not introduced by human manipulation but somehow happened through its automatic process of looking for "patterns in hundreds of millions of documents"! Ha ha. Alternatively, maybe Perkunas did it.
