I think the embedding depends on the client/UI. I'm on desktop using Alexandrite and there is no embed, but I think mobile clients and apps tend to handle this better.
I think Voyager (the progressive web app) does not specify whether controls should be shown so the underlying browser uses its defaults. Firefox on desktop shows controls while neither Firefox nor Chrome on mobile do.
I live in a similar shitty post soviet country, the kazakh scenes were filmed in romania, and noone finds it offensive here, even Kazakhstan uses the slogan "very nice" nowadays.
It's an interesting case. Most of the movie is Cohen doing patently ridiculous things to an audience who just go "Welp, foreigners sure are weird." The joke is mostly on the people who are willing to believe that Borat is an accurate representation of what Kazakh people are like.
Yeah, as always with these things, it depends on which party is being made fun of. Like In Tropic Thunder, RDJ's black face doesn't make fun of black people, but of Hollywood actors who do ridiculous things for the sake of method acting, so it doesn't become a racist joke.
Exactly, the joke they are making is simply not racist in nature. At the same time, the idea that using blackface to make a joke about entrenched Hollywood racism trivializes the harm of using blackface isn't unreasonable. It's a layered issue, people can land in different places. Ultimately though, the controversy over Tropic Thunder, then and now, being so minimal does indicate that for most viewers, the joke justified itself.
Usually in this kind of comedies fictional countries are used, so noone could be offended. It wouldn't work here, an interviewee could notice that, so they had to choose one, but anything east of the iron curtain could have worked the same way.
The stereotypes he parodises, all based on some actual things, like the youtube.com/watch?v=a952gCabSC… is based on Krampus and other old messed up racist fesivities. When he shits on the street it's joke about how the squat toilet (we call it balkan toilet) is still very common in the region
It's similar when disney made the Coco cartoon, some american sjws said it would be offensive to mexicans, but in realitythey loved it there.

I just want to say thank you for starting with the actual link to the article in addition to fun screenshots. So many people get that wrong, but you did good.
Thanks. I always try to do both, because I know most won't want to click off site and are happy to just chuckle at a screenshot, but a lot of people will always want the link.
Can you at least remove the m. from the link? If you're on mobile, it will automatically redirect to the mobile site. But if you're on desktop and the m. is still there, you have to manually remove it, and that's really annoying because the mobile site is missing some important desktop features.
Sweden unexpectedly won the tournament against the Soviet Union, and the host country did not have a recording of their national anthem ready to play. The players agreed to sing the anthem in place of a recording, but as they did not know the full lyrics, they instead sang the drinking song "Helan Går".
