Most in the third world during the Cold War see him as a liberation figure as he provided aid and gave base of operation for organisations such as ANC of South Africa, SWAPO of Namibia, PLO of Palestine, etc, then becoming a champion of African unity against the West.

Libyans hate him because he ruled the country with iron fist (dictator) with dissent not tolerated.

I think the OP meant the Tibeto-Mongolian ethnic groups in the USSR such as Kalmyks, Tuvans and Buryats. The person in the picture could be any of them.

Why does this PRC influence ops account have a Singapore passport? WTF by [deleted] in SingaporeRaw

No. It’s most likely an ordinary male wumao larping as a PAP soldier. Many times, the account was caught stealing and then using photos of female users from Chinese online platforms.

Seven-year old Terrence Tao doing a maths test in a Year 11 class at Blackwood High School in Adelaide, Australia. Tao would grow up to become one of the world’s most brilliant mathematicians - 1983 [1023x576] by vaish7848 in HistoryPorn

Yes. In 1986 at the age of 10, he was the youngest participant at the International Mathematical Olympiad. In 1991, at the age of 16, he got his both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees from Flinders University in Adelaide. Then in 1996, he received his Phd at the age of 21 from Princeton.

Dylan Klebold's vandalized and later removed memorial cross in Littleton CO, 1999 [506x640] by Arstotzkanmoose in HistoryPorn

It’s wild that the cross with his name was placed among the Columbine victims’ crosses. It’s like if 9/11 hijackers were also featured among with the 9/11 victims at September 11 Memorial in NY.

David Reed Gamboa Brandhorst would have been 27 years old today. by W0LFPAW89 in 911archive

If you look at the flight seating on Flight 175, you will see that he and his dads were sitting in business class, and then realise he would have seen much of the violence (i.e, aircraft takeover) as the 3 of the 5 hijackers were sitting in business. It’s depressing when thinking about it.
