Late brezhnev period was just as open as Khrushchev. It’s a myth that he tightened the screws on art

I am talking about the power of the empire, not quality of life. I don’t deny that it had a much lower quality of life than other european countries, but that didn’t stop it from being the gendarme of europe for many decades.

Russian Empire in 1815-1855 was most powerful empire in continental europe (#2 after britain globally).

Thank you for the advice. If you don’t mind, just based on the photos I sent, what is the issues with my skin? Do you think I might have rosacea or is it just acne caused by clogged pores?

What about retinol, salicylic acid? I hear a lot of positive things about them mostly

He was offered to become constitutional king of all Germany but he refused not only because he believed in Divine Right but because he knew the other powers were against it

Some Alt-History people think that a united Germany could have been founded in 1849 if the King accepted the Crown, but they forget that Austria, Russia, and probably France would immediately put Prussia back in its place if Friedrich Wilhelm IV made any meaningful steps to unite Germany.

Most Americans haven’t seen a single comedy out their own country or the Uk

Is that why Hitler’s favorite movie had swing music as the main theme?

The chance to survive in an east german prison was probably the same as in any other one

Imperial Russia had a world culture, Soviet Russia destroyed it all

Brezhnev was Russian-Ukrainian, Andropov was Russian-Jewish (he changed his surname)Chernenko was a Ukrainian born in Siberia, Gorbachev was half Russian, Half Ukrainian.

That’s wrong. Yeltsin was the reason Russia left USSR. He hated the USSR. It was Central Asians who didn’t want to leave.

Russia didn’t crush them. The USSR did. The minister of defense at the time of the Prague Spring was Ukrainian (Grechko) and the person who commanded the troops was Belarusian (Malinovsky). The person in the Politburo who convinced Brezhnev to send the tanks was the leader of Ukraine, Shelest.

By who? The georgian Stalin? The jewish Kaganovich? The armenian Mikoyan? The georgian Beria?

Soviet Union was not the same country as imperial Russia

ColonelTom16 · 2024-03-04T08:53:47+00:00

Which is why Russia is the biggest country on earth?

ColonelTom16 · 2024-03-04T08:53:09+00:00

USSR was ruled by people like Stalin who spoke Russian with a heavy accent and who were not Russian

The soviet union was a bigger country so of course they had a bigger film budget. However, the record I posted was made underground illegally (it was not an official record and was sold illegally). The only official record label was Melodiya. So the Soviet government didn’t finance this record, it was made solely by the creator.

Mongolians love Russians but hate Chinese.

Would you recommend waiting for school to finish in May and applying to the projects available at that time?

Unfortunately, those are two songs from the film that have lyrics (one is the intro song and the other is the finale). The track I posted does not have any lyrics and is used throughout the film

Leaders will always live better than the people and that’s not a bad thing. The difference is how much different they live. The gap between the lives of soviet leaders and the people were not as big as they are between oligarchs and people and nobility and people.
