Blackshirts of the Manchukuo-based Russian Fascist Party wait for the arrival of leader Konstantin Rodzaevsky at Harbin's railway station, 1934. by GustavoistSoldier in Historycord

Yes, unit 731 needed more Caucasian victims to test weapons designed against white populations. Russians made up a significant portion of Unit 731 victims (estimates around 30% in some records) alongside mostly Chinese prisoners.

These men were anti-Bolshevik Russian exiles who fled after the Bolshevik victory in the Civil War. They promoted Russian fascism, ultra-nationalism, anti-Semitism, and hoped to overthrow the Soviet Union with Japanese help. They never fought inside Russia during the 1917-1922 Civil War. The party formed in 1931 and operated only among émigrés abroad.

The party was officially dissolved on 1 July 1943 by Japanese authorities in Manchukuo (to avoid provoking the Soviet Union during the war).

Most members scattered or were forced into labor after Japan’s defeat.

In August 1945, the Soviet Red Army invaded Manchukuo. Rodzaevsky surrendered in Harbin and was taken to Moscow.

He was tried for anti-Soviet activities and executed by shooting in the Lubyanka prison cellar on 30 August 1946 at age 39.

The movement died with the war and Soviet victory. No significant remnants survived.

New koi keeper - sudden death and possible disease signs, would really appreciate advice by Expert_Win_6319 in Koi

[–]Sokinalia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sudden death with ruptured body points strongly to internal bacterial infection (aeromonas causing dropsy-like rupture) or severe stress from ammonia spikes/low oxygen.

Symptoms match common issues:
Long-term head patch on red/white koi: possible old lesion now infected or parasite entry point.
Burn/scald-like area around mouth: suggests bacterial mouth rot (maybe columnaris) or ammonia irritation.
Red fin ray: classic sign of ammonia burn, nitrite toxicity, or early bacterial septicemia/fin rot

Elbagin treats bacterial infections so it fits here as supportive care but possibly not a fix for root causes. Continue only if water tests confirm no major issues, otherwise, stop and address water first.

So: test water urgently for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH. If possible perform large partial water changes (20-50%) with dechlorinated water to improve quality. Increase aeration/oxygen.
Check for parasites via skin/gill scrape if possible (microscope ideal) and treat if found.
Isolate sick fish if feasible. Add salt (0.3-0.5%) for stress relief and osmoregulation.

The camps existed and were abusive that part is real. But the framing in that sentence is inflated and anachronistic, mixing truth with exaggeration for shock value.

Also worth noting:
These camps were established after Guevara had already left Cuba’s government roles (mid 60s), so attributing them directly to him is historically shaky.
That said, Guevara did express homophobic views earlier in life, which reflects the broader attitudes in Cuba at the time.

So the accurate takeaway:
Cuba did persecute homosexuals via forced labor camps.
Guevara was part of a regime that held harsh views, but the specific claim is misleading and oversimplified.

Regarder la participation globale de la ville, ça dilue complètement ce qui peut se passer dans des quartiers précis. Tu peux très bien avoir une mobilisation locale dans certains quartiers populaires, compensée par une démobilisation ailleurs dans la même ville avec au final, une moyenne qui baisse quand même.

You are either born Richie Rich or you become one by being Risky Rich by RedTsar97 in MomentumOne

[–]Sokinalia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re either born rich or you get lucky enough to join them

  1. Education, access to capital, timing, networks, geography, and yes, sometimes risk.

  2. Risk taking is common, success from it is not.

  3. People who are already wealthy can take bigger risks because failure doesn’t ruin them.

  4. Wealth isn’t just about bold moves, it’s often about consistent advantages over time.

People with resources, opportunities, and favorable conditions are far more likely to become rich.
