There is an old #Russian saying, from the #USSR days.

"As long as they pretend to pay us, we will pretend to work."

It's a useful #reminder.

“It was not until 1982 that the [USSR] orbited its first electro-optical reconnaissance satellite, capable of sending imagery back to Earth in near real time. As a stopgap measure, proposals were tabled in the 1960s and 1970s for achieving the same goal by using reconnaissance satellites carrying television cameras.”

Наши, так называемые союзники, те, кто был в теме, тихо содрогнулись. Потом правда решили - "Может показалось?" И чтобы удостовериться, во время Корейской войны провели имитацию атомной бомбардировки СССР. Собрали все имеющиеся в регионе стратегические бомбардировщики (те самые, что бомбили Хиросиму), прикрыли их новейшими реактивными истребителями и эту армаду в количестве 120 самолётов бросили на какой-то подвернувшийся объект в Корее.

Today in Labor History September 4, 1949: The Peekskill riots at a Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill, New York. A mob of locals attacked concert-goers with baseball bats and rocks. Police arrived hours later and did little to intervene. Thirteen people were seriously injured, Robeson was lynched in effigy and a cross was burned on the hillside. Robeson was well known for his strong pro-trade union stance, civil rights activism, communist affiliations and anti-colonialism. He also had been increasingly vocal against the Ku Klux Klan and other forces of white supremacy. The concert was a benefit for the Civil Rights Congress. Just prior to the riots, Robeson had spoken at Soviet-sponsored World Peace Conference in Paris, where he said the following:

“We in America do not forget that it was on the backs of white workers from Europe and on the backs of millions of blacks that the wealth of America was built. And we are resolved to share it equally. We reject any hysterical raving that urges us to make war on anyone. Our will to fight for peace is strong.... We shall support peace and friendship among all nations, with Soviet Russia and the People's Republics.”

Why Russia Rejected Freedom (Gorbachev)

17 min video

A compelling history of the Gorbachev and his handling of the end of the USSR and of the man himself compared to the current leader of Russia.

Don't buy anything from the patent supporters of #Russian #terrorism - the @pepsi corp.
They have supported the #USSR during their #invasion of #Afghanistan and continue with support of #RussiaIsANaziState as their invasion of #Ukraine is ongoing.

Ukraine has designated PepsiCo as a sponsor of Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

They can continue selling this garbage to Russians but not to us humans.

Today in Labor History August 31, 1919: John Reed and others formed the Communist Labor Party of America in Chicago. The party evolved into the American Communist Party. Reed was a journalist and communist activist who extensively covered World War I. He was most famous for his coverage of the Russian Revolution and his book, “Ten Days That Shook the World.” He died in Moscow in 1920 from typhus. They gave him a hero’s welcome and buried him in Kremlin Wall Necropolis. Only two other American were given this honor: Big Bill Haywood, a founding member of the IWW, and C.E. Ruthenberg, founder of the Communist Party USA.

John Dos Passos included a short biography of him in his “U.S.A.” trilogy. Uptain Sinclair called him the Revolution’s Playboy, elements of which can be seen in Warren Beaty’s portrayal of Reed in the film, “Reds.” Sergei Eisenstein made a film version of “Ten Days That Shook the World” in 1927.

Not just #Millennials. I'm a #GenXer, and I'd rather live under #nordic #economics.

Yes, none of the places in the meme are/were actually #Socialist, but many of us have the habit of using the word #Socialism as an inaccurate shorthand.

Oh, and the #USSR was #state #Capitalist, like #china is now, regardless of what they call themselves.

Kyiv, Moscow’s opposing attitudes toward Soviet past shape two different futures

The decision to remove the Soviet statue’s symbols is a watershed moment in Kyiv’s years-long de-communization program: a movement that has seen Ukraine purposely distance itself from old Soviet ties to reclaim and reassert its independent culture, identity, and future.

Today in Labor History August 19, 1920: A peasant insurrection began in Tambov, USSR, over the confiscation of their grain. Led by Alexander Antonov, a former official of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, the Green Army uprising evolved into a guerrilla war against the Red Army, Cheka Units and the Soviet authorities. The Bolsheviks finally suppressed the revolt in June, 1921. 240,000 died in the rebellion and over 50,000 were imprisoned. They also used chemical weapons on the peasants. Dissident writer, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, wrote about it in a short story in his book, “Apricot Jam and other Stories,” (2010).

New Il-2 Sturmovik video:

Flying the USSR's best piston-engine fighter, the Yakovlev Yak-3, against the Third Reich's best piston-engine fighter, the Messerschmitt Bf 109K.

This late WW2 dogfight is one of the most intense I've ever flown, and really demonstrates the sheer quality of both of these phenomenal aircraft.
