Summary Of Karlos And Russia

Great Essays
Karlos and the Russians by:Peter
Karlos had very normal life and was happy with it. At least he wasn’t in syria or something like that. Anyway, as always, he was working in his smoke shop, even though he doesn’t smoke. Business was not very good, especially since it was 100F outside. Karlos was the richest person ever, but he had enough money to maintain his smoke shop, his apartment and his food bills. (Not very much). He sometimes had visitors and most likly will probably buy cigarettes as Karlos selles cigarettes quite a lot cheaper than at gas stations. Although the cramped conditions of his house and smoke shop. His parents live a block closer to the entrance to the town.

However, bit by bit, his fantastic world was starting to

Lots of them. Maybe if we needed, Rob and I could sneak some slaves into recruitment. Torrine isn’t a small town either, so, Russia was about halfway through the town in means of control. Just walking out on open battlefield is like suicide, so before they left Roberto’s house, they got a good look around and got used to the ruins of building and bodies, even the town hall was destroyed, even though the council does meeting in a meeting room above the recreational center. So, sneaking close to a wall, always looking cautiously on the other side of the street, continued down to where the battle still …show more content…
Their initial goal for now was to get out of the town and follow the road that the russians came down. The fact that there were barely any Russian warriors threw them off a bit and since there were so few, all they had to do was to walk right out. Luckily, there was a really slow tank that they could follow to the base they had that they were using. Rob thought it was going to be an abandoned warehouse or something like that. Since it was the most logical answer, Karlos didn’t question it.

I’m just going to say right now, that was a very long trip. When I say long, I mean long. For example, If it were to be written into a series of books, there would be more blank books than Harry Potter, The Hobbit and all of Jordan Korman’s books put together. (Thats a lot you know). Anyway, apart from the 3 weeks of walking, its wasn’t as bad as you may think. Karlos and Rob also past a lot of towns and even cities that were taken hostage by the Russians, long since abandoned. Anyway, when they made it to the lair of the Russian

    Although triumphant in destroying the town, the Russian forces were massacred on the mountainous banks of the Sunzha River while marching back to the Russian fort of Vladikavkaz. The death toll constituted the worst military defeat during Catherine II’s reign. Russian troops captured Mansur in 1791 after a series of Chechen defeats on the North Caucasus plains.

    In The Hunt for Red October, Tom Clancy portrays the character of Marko Ramius as one of the story’s two protagonists, with the other protagonist being the main character of Clancy’s series, Jack Ryan. This is not the last time Clancy ends up using this concept in his books. Later on in Red Rabbit (in terms of the storyline, Red Rabbit comes before The Hunt for Red October, but the latter was in fact written before Red Rabbit), he had Oleg Ivanovich Zaitzev fill the role of the second protagonist; hence, Ramius, Zaitzev, and their stories have many things in common. The characters themselves show remarkable similarities for men of such different backgrounds. Obviously, one must take into consideration their decision to defect; both stories’…

    In conclusion, there are many lessons to be learned from both side of this battle. In order for a quick victory, attacking units should have a 3:1-4:1 ratio depending on the mission and enemy capabilities. It appears they Russian forces were far overestimated and the Chechen forces were far underestimated. The Russians should have supplied 50,000-60,000 troops. Since the city was not completely sealed off, Chechens were able to send resupply and reinforcements from the south where there was a gap in the Russian cordon.…

    If one were to have asked a Russian peasant what revolution means to them, they might answer samovol’shchina, or, translated “doing what you want.” In Sheila Fitzpatrick’s book The Russian Revolution she traces three broad themes through the course of the revolution that existed before 1917 and would continue until about the time of 1934. She examines the class struggle that was an important part of the revolution as well as the leadership that lead the Russian citizens through these tumuloous decades and she also examines the modernization that Russia experienced. Fitzpatrick breaks her book down in a chronological order in which she spends her introduction writing about the immediate events that happened prior to the outbreak of the revolution so that the reader, whether an undergraduate student, graduate student or just a fan of Russian history, can gain a true understanding of the air of change that was happening in…

Hitler 's self centered personality led his decisions in Britain, Russia, and even in Germany to prove fatal to Germany 's war effort.…

    In 1914 the ‘Great War’ began, there were several nations who were involved in the conflict, such as Germany, England, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the most backwards nation out of them, Russia. Russia was two centuries behind the rest of the world because of its absolute monarchy and the issues that they had to deal with, as (SparkNotes Editors, 2009) state that Russia only developed their industry to a limited amount. At the time of World War 1 Russia was dealing with revolutionary groups such as the Bolsheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries.
