Despite their personal experience of 23 years of Russian , there are many people in who still do not understand that Russia is an evil empire.

The level of atrocities is incomparable between the two, but the message is clear: nothing has changed in the Russian Bear’s den.

Fifty-five years ago Russian fascists-disguised-as-communists invaded the former in what was then the largest military operation in Europe since the end of the 2nd World War. The so-called ‘Operation Danube’ is now the second largest post-WW2 military operation in Europe, after the Russian fascists threw off their masks and launched a full-scale war against Ukraine in 2022.

I was going through the building documentation to look up some stuff, and boom:
- my grand-grandfathers death certificate,
- documents from the First Czechoslovak Republic,
- documents from the Protectorate,
- documents from the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.

The European history is wild, it all happened much more recently than I tend to keep in mind.

April 11: Ride a on

Karel Zeman was a Czech film maker who seemingly magically combined live action with . In his VynĂĄlez zkĂĄzy [A Deadly Invention] (1958), loosely based on 's Face au Drapeau, a professor is kidnapped by a fiendish count who wants to get his hands on a terrible super-weapon. Underwater pursuits commence! Based on the engravings that accompany the Verne story, Zeman came up with fantastic highly stylised in-camera effects that make the sets, actors and props resemble cross-hatched etchings.
