Moscow

the short term, invading and destroying the Soviet Union would annihilate Britain’s last hope for survival. This operation consisted of a three pronged attack on Russia’s three major economy driving cities. The German army would attack Leningrad, Moscow and Kiev in hopes to defeat Russia’s military and to cause an economic collapse of the Soviet state. Although the Germans had much success, they would later suffer a great amount of casualties and slowly erode their progress. The final key theme…

Last week I have visited the Holocaust Memorial Center in Budapest. Comparing to other museums which are dedicated to this issue (Schindler’s Factory in Krakow, Polin in Warsaw, Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center in Moscow) the museum in Budapest leaves an impression of rather poor and much disorganized exhibition. However, among the collection one photo drew my attention (see above). The photo appears in Internet in two versions, obviously shots were taken one after…

9/11 has never happened. Unfortunately, the U.S. depends on them to destabilize its enemies in Syria, Iran, and Yemen. The U.S. may need them soon to destabilize southern Russia and the ex-soviet central Asian republics if they come too close to Moscow. No one is better qualified to keep the bloody Shea-Sunni sectarian mayhem than these Religious “Fascists.” The sectarian conflict in the Middle East is the best viable alternative to replace the legitimate Arab-Israeli conflict. Therefore, there…

Putin’s Presidency began in 1999, he came into office two days after a radical group of Chechens started an attack on the Dagestan. They wished to establish the “Independent Islamic State of Dagestan”. They did so to hopefully cause an Islamic Anti-Russian uprising. This caused Putin to respond after five days of waiting. The Russian Bomber Jets arrived in Chechnya, which symbolized what was going to come. The result was that tens of thousands of Chechens died, who were mostly Chechen citizens.…

Another reason we are justified in dropping the bombs is the lack of Japan’s intention to surrender. In sources C and D we read about how Japan was going to fight until the very end. Source C, the Japanese foreign minister, told the ambassador to Moscow that Japan was going to keep fighting as long as the United States was a threat to them. Source D, a pilot who led the attack on Pearl Harbor, spoke to the pilot who dropped the atomic bomb. Fuchida (Japanese pilot) told Tibbets (American pilot)…

Special passports were imposed in December of 1932, and any person who opposed to the Holodomor was known as a “kulak.” Independent farmers were known as kulaks if they resisted collectivization. Furthermore, kulaks didn’t want collectivization of their farms because it would mean having to share their prosperity. Symbolization wasn’t big in the Holodomor. Ukrainian peasants were easily identified, because of where they lived. In the end, symbolization wasn’t needed for the USSR genocide.…

We all want to belong. We all want to feel part of something important. In his book The Patriotism of Despair, Serguei Alex Oushakine examines the magnification of this desire amid ideological turmoil in post-Soviet Russia. Drawing from interviews conducted during his fieldwork in Barnaul from 2001 to 2003 and scholarship published in the Altai region, Oushakine uncovers post-Soviet Russian nationalism as grounded in a pessimistic discourse of loss. Although he concentrates on how traumatic…

Adolf Hitler 's reign of terror was known in every country around the world during World War II.

During this time, Germany had always seen Russia as their main enemy because they were afraid of the Russians trying…

During World War 1 the Bolsheviks had growing support in the two major cities, Petrograd (formerly St. Petersburg) and Moscow. Due to the growing support the Bolsheviks also had support of the army so revolution was less complicated to execute. The two major leaders during 1917 were Lenin and Trotsky. Lenin created intelligent and methodical planning for the takeover of Petrograd and Moscow, while Trotsky headed the Revolutionary Military Committee and commissar of foreign affairs. The October…
