Shades of #1930s Germany or later #USSR, anyone?

Some #Soviet history for you:
The technological heart of the #USSR was #Ukraine
#Dnipropetrovsk (aka #Dnipro) was nicknamed "Rocket City" during the #ColdWar
So when #Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukrainian innovation answered. Russia has been paying for that miscalculation ever since, and will pay a lot more for their colossal error
Ukrainian ingenuity will win this stupid war
"Ukraine Quietly Tested Space-Launch Capabilities in Middle of War Twice"
wants to watch The Detached Mission
During matching Warsaw Pact & NATO fleet exercises in the South Pacific, a Soviet frigate must deal with a CIA provocation that could lead to all-out war.
As I've seen so much USA! USA! 80s action, it's about time I saw what the other side had to offer.

☢️ Old Soviet-era gas masks are common when exploring former USSR countries. Part of intensive state-wide civil defence policies aimed at preparing the entire population for a nuclear, biological, or chemical attack during the Cold War.
Whole boxes stored in basements of hospitals and factories. Sometimes, you may come across a single mask in an unexpected location. These masks have startled me more than once, talking full-on jump scare!
Let that sink in:
ARTICLE 120. Citizens of the U.S.S.R. have the right to maintenance in old age and also in the case of sickness or loss of capacity to work.
This right is ensured by the extensive development of social insurance of workers and employees at state expense, free medical service for the working people and the provision of a wide network of health resorts for the use of the working people.
1936 constitution of the #Soviet Union
#Putin compares the West to #Nazi #Germany in 1941
Why 1941? Why not just Nazi Germany?
Because the #USSR was allied with Germany before 1941
Many #Kremlin apologists are eager to forget that
"Nazi" doesn't mean #fascism and #imperialism to Putin. It simply means "Western enemy"
The fascist mass murdering imperialist part of #Nazism isn't a problem to Putin
Because that's what Putin's #Russia is
A grim milestone for #Russia was reached this morning:
1.5 million casualties in their stupid #UkraineWar
(Casualties = dead wounded captured and missing)
Obviously #WWII surpasses that, but no conflict since. In fact 1.5 million casualties surpasses all conflicts Russia/ #USSR was involved in since, combined

The world is a very stupid place full of very stupid people who don't understand the stakes with rising #fascism. Russia shows them where it leads. Do they see?
Y’all… Soviet history is crazy.
Today I learned that because literature was so heavily censored, people would illegally print banned texts by typing them on home typewriter machines and then distribute them.
AND THE COOL PART is that to try and stop them, the Soviet government had restricted production of typewriters, assigning each machine a unique serial number AND a specific signature of defects (tilted letters, lighter or heavier pressure letters, etc.), the government would store the keys for which typographical signature corresponded to which machine and whom it was sold to.
So what did the people do in response? Split typing a single text up across multiple people’s machines and shuffling pages; OR fixing up some letters by hand with a pen.
Crazy cool!!!!
