It's interesting, I asked ChatGPT about this and it said it was not banned, then I turned on "search the web" and it says it was - citing AP News and VoA, basically this very article. I wonder if there's any more info.

Edit: funnily enough DeepSeek gives an answer that sounds plausible: apparently during the Stalinist period of 40s-50s while it supposedly wasn't outright banned "overt displays of national pride were often discouraged" ... That seems to fit, and a bit of judgement over whether something is banned explicitly or simply so unthinkable in the official climate that it may as well be banned.

Asking ChatGPT is useless for finding a definitive answer for anything, and all the more so when the facts are in question.

it feels like soon anything that chatgpt doesn't know will be deemed "misinformation"

any experts in any field can easily find tons of stuff LLMs don’t know.

hell they don’t even know how to measure or calculate wallpaper correctly.

Nobody can. Wallpaper calculations are in the realm of eldritch mathematics.

You always end up with a gap, and despite that several rolls left over! Which you will then keep for years "just in case".
