Original for all three of them.
The "Enhanced (*) Editions" literally butchered a shitton of things, from censoring Soviet symbols and props, to outright downgrading graphics. Modding is also way bigger pain in the ass, and the devs are enforcing some bizarre, political rules on it as well.

My suggestion as an oldass STALKER fag:
Pirate the release versions of SoC-CoP,
patch them to the version (You) want,
and start without any major overhaul mods.

If you are skeptic about "muh bugs & stability" (you shouldn't be this day and age), just install Starter Pack mods (ZRP for SoC, SRP for CS).

The original versions obviously include the latest PATCHES, which make all games more than merely playable.

Yeah, people subjugated by the bolsheviks don't harbor much love for them

nah, anon I'm gonna disagree. I wouldn't wish vanilla stalker on anyone, even with patches. The games are terribly outdated in most regards. Clear Sky still plays like shit because of the gunplay. ShoC and CoP are somewhat better in this regard but guns do feel worse than something like Anomaly or Gamma.

so subjugated that they were in fact one of the more wealthy and fertile socialist republics, and were exporting goods to the entire USSR

I played Clear Sky with the SRP gunplay "fix" and it was so bad I started the game over and played it with the vanilla gunplay instead
I fucking hate mods that turn every gun into a laser accurate death ray

Stalker with mods is absolute dogcrap. I tried some mod once and telling you that vanilla Stalker is the best.

Just play old, the "enhanced" version is somehow even worse than the originals.

Why did they make the references originally then? And why remove it now?

I wonder what those recent events have in common with Soviet symbols and props? USSR doesn't exist anymore.

yeah bro, that totally undoes all the gulags and holodomors and forced resettling because the new guys we sent it after massacring you lot are actually quite wealthy and... hey, why are you leaving at the first opportunity?

it's not like the people waging these recent events swear by the Soviet flag, use Soviet symbols in their armed forces, use the Soviet anthem and consider its dissolution "the worst crime of the 20th century"

if the subset is in the government and is making all the important decisions, I think the opinions of the rest can be disregarded. they themselves don't seem to value their voices, judging by how rarely they are heard

Yeah... that's massively outdated, it doesn't even have AA2 on it.
