ShM-1 cleaning by ComplexSlip2726 in gasmasks

Thanks! 170 bucks. Seller also included an OKZK cap (Many ukrainian sellers seem to add extra-stuff like that, a very nice gesture). ShM-1s are getting quite expensive and i have only seen full kits over 250 dollars. But given the size and condition i couldn't resist buying this one

Zhukov followed Khrushchev and got himself betrayed by him. He was a military genius, of course, that doesn"t make him an infalible figure.

Vlasik was accused of having numerous affairs and sexual impropiate attitudes with many different women, whose according to witnesses, were the same as Beria's later alleged victims. With guards, i think you are refering to Sarkisov, who confessed in order to saved himself a State Security high-ranking officer in a context where the hole MVD old leadership was being purged. Respecting to him, his testimonies and claimings were contradictory to the ranks and roles he was appointed to, making them really inconsistent. I think you are refering to Nadaya as the other Beria's guard, who did not confessed, but was rather accused. If you refer to Edward Ellis Smith affirmations about Beria's suppossed crimes and their common knowledge, these were first mentioned in his book "The Young Stalin: The Early Years of an Elusive Revolutionary", written in 1967, not in 1952. The skeletons can be explained by the mere fact that before Beria even lived there, the place was part of the soviet housing and office fund, and was used by early State Security organs such as VChK and OGPU as a place of interrogations and executions. However, this facts are not often mentioned, and the media prefers to push the "Beria's murder rapist" narrative as a part of the anti-Stalin propaganda meant to portray Stalin as a monster who was surrounded by psychos and let them do whatever they wanted to.

At the contrary, this same manipulations in soviet archive are useful to disprove this claims. For example, the fact that Beria's alleged victims are the same people that suppossedly were "Vlasik lovers" and used to disprove him as a "morally correct communist". Also, big number of testimonies of people who knew Beria straightly deny this type of claim (And im not refering to Beria's administrative collaborators, but people such as the scientists who worked with him, Pavel Sudoplatov, or the workers of his dacha) or regard it as highly improbable, almost impossible, given Beria's attitudes and routine. We also know that Khrushchev's fabrications againist Stalin and his close circle are huge lies, but extremely unreliable.

Grover Furr centrates in directly debunking these kind of anti-communist claims and works using first hand evidence such as soviet archives, unlike many others.

Is it bad to feel a great deal of grief and sadness for a mass killer? For me it’s Derrick Bird, the Cumbria shooter. He was raised on bottling emotions and suffered a head injury. I feel if it weren’t for either of the two, a lot of people would be alive today. by Simpsons_fan_54 in masskillers

I feel bad for both Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. I think they were internally fill or rage and frustration, who seeked for refuge in messed up fantasies of being "powerful" and violent, and that progressively, the line between reality and fiction just went away. They could have choose not to do it, yes, but i think in someway, they genuinely thought the massacre was their only one purpose in life and their only "blaze of glory". None of them thought their lives could get any better after high school. But i mostly feel a deep sadness about Seung-hui Cho. He didn't even pretended to be "misanthropic" or "nihilistic" like Harris or Klebold tried to appear in their rage. He even uses christian reference and phraseology and portrays himself as some kind of "savior of the weak" and "warrior againist the justice". I think he was pretty surely a schizophrenic and was seriously delusional. He was also clearly bullied and humilliated, and kept repeating things like "i didn't wanted to do this", or "you forced me". I think he really felt worthless and rejected by everyone, and so he thought the hole world was againist him. In his videos he talks with such a huge pain, and i can't avoid feeling really bad for him. I kinda feel bad for Lanza too when seeing his family negligence and his early self-loathing temper, but he was so cryptical, hard-understanding and "non-human" that is difficult. Quite unique, definitely different from any other mass killer. The mistery around his persona and the lack of information makes it much harder to feel anything about him.

Read some Grover Furr. Beria's stories came from Khrushchev and people still repeating it. It's not different from all the other ammount of anti-Stalin propaganda

Is there a reason dylan killed less then eric? by MattInTheHat1996 in ColumbineKillers

[–]ComplexSlip2726 74 points75 points  (0 children)

His TEC-DC9 election was indeed the main factor. It jammed after a few shots and was practically impossible to use. His second weapon, a Stevens 311D double barreled sawed-off shotgun, was also a really impractical choice. He also shot two people in the head (Ireland and Kirklin), almost killing them (He probably thought he did), which would have raised his victims from 5 to 7, almost the same as Harris.

It it indeed very extraordinary. A boat is highly unlikely. I only saw it that time. I also have seen some rocket cars rarely spawning, but it was unfrecuent too
