ParticipantThe war will almost definitely pass on to Moldova next.
If NATO does push toward a Ukrainian victory, then surely Putin will lose his guarantee that Ukraine won’t join NATO?

ParticipantPeople so naive still, governments too, that they would actually want to survive in the aftermath of a nuclear war, and are taking steps to that end!!!

ParticipantTopples Lenin, but has images of Stalin and of himself and Shoigu among the ikons in his new military cathedral. Also allows units to fly the old Soviet flag. His humour knows no bounds!
I still prefer Spike Milligan.

ParticipantHow does “decommunization” square with the canonization of Stalin?
Will we see “detrotskification”?

ParticipantI thought Putin said the Ukraine needs to be denazified. Now, according to Tass, it needs to be decommunized.
What an ignoramus!
Mind you, the image of Nazis setting up and restoring statues of Lenin does seem rather apt as well as amusing, if Putin wasn’t blasting the lives of workers on both sides.

ParticipantThe Free Territory was also independent. The Bolsheviks had to conquer both it and the nationalists.
Putin’s skewered sense of history comes from his upbringing in Bolshevik pseudohistory.

ParticipantBut I think Mao did. He was a megalomaniac.
Seem to remember an accomplice of Pol Pot prior to trial, who could barely restrain his laughter when an interviewer said, “You were communists …”

ParticipantIn Taras Bulba, the hero, a Cossack, is in love with a Polish noblewoman. The Poles look upon his scruffy, dirty appearance with the contempt of American whites for a native American warrior. They call him a “savage.”
At the beginning of the story, two Jewish boys are playing in the mud, as, Gogol says, “Jews do”!

ParticipantI used to write to a Lithuanian girl, but it stopped when I condemned her racism.
I asked if she also admired the Russian seven-hour film epic version of WAR AND PEACE by Bondarchuk, and she sneered back, “Why? He’s Russian!”
She went on by saying Russians stink, are dirty, and bother her by eating and drinking on the train while she is trying to read Baudelaire.
I replied that the USSR must have given her a good education since she knew who Baudelaire was, unlike most of the British!
She stopped writing. -
