  7. At the end of WWII, the Soviet Union shifted its censorship into high gear in order to minimize the corrupting influence of the West. The punishment for disseminating banned materials could be imprisonment in a gulag, or even death. But that didn’t stop the enterprising, innovative people of the former USSR. @TheConversationUS explains “bone music,” where recordings of Ella Fitzgerald and Elvis were etched into used X-ray film. “The music … suggested that a different sort of life is possible, beyond the strictures of Communist officials. How could a political system that prohibited beautiful music, many asked, possibly merit the allegiance of its citizens?”

  12. #Covid has been politicised. Leading to some weird stuff.

    Been to some "big box" large warehouse-style stores - hardware and whitegoods/appliances.

    They appear to have high airflow going on with their ventliation/air conditioning systems.

    #CrypticIAQ measures to fulfill #WorkHealthAndSafety legal obligations?

    Possible Secret Indoor Air Quality Improvements - an absurdist element in a #StrugatskyBrothers critique of #SovietRussia?

    (I can imagine high air flow being misused too.)

  17. There's a new #Netflix #history #documentary series on #WorldWarII called #FromTheFrontLines. It's been out a week. It has lots of color archival footage and looks good. But I noticed a serious problem:

    The second and third episodes deal with #Nazi Germany's invasion of #Soviet #Russia. But not once does the documentary mention that #SovietRussia and #NaziGermany had signed an alliance before the invasion. If you didn't know this you'd think #Germany invaded an innocent #SovietUnion.

    Not true!

  22. “Bone Music”

    In 1950s Russia, one of the only ways to hear blues, jazz and rock’n’roll from America was to bootleg a record pressed up on a discarded X-ray plate.

    First invented by Ruslan Bogoslowski the bootlegs were pressed on thick radiographs found in hospital bins and then cut into rough discs, sometimes using a cigarette to burn the central hole. Bogoslowski would eventually spend five years imprisoned in Siberia for this innovation. #bonemusic #sovietunion #sovietrussia #bootlegseries

  27. Yak-9UM This is - amazingly - not a restoration of one of the thousands of the Yak-9s built in Soviet Russia during WW2, but a new-built example, using original drawings, by the Yakovlev concern in Russia. The main change from the original specification was to install a U.S. Allison V-1710 engine, rather than the Klimov VK-107A. This aircraft is seen at Sevierville, Tennessee at the Tennessee Aviation Museum and is in the colours of the famed Escadrille Normandie-Nieman, a Free French unit which fought on the Eastern Front during WW2. #warbird #Russian #Yakovlev #Yak #Yak9 #Sevierville #Tennessee #USA #avgeek #WW2 #fighter #aviation #Museum #SovietRussia #Allison #Allisonengine #warfare #Klimov #French #FreeFrench #EasternFront #Russia #EscadrilleNormandieNiemen #Normandie #Niemen

    in #1989 the prison of nations #USSR of #sovietrussia began its dissolution. It was time to help russia's victims with their need to reindustrialize. Along with all the countless developing countries seeking progress. "Yes, but with democratic values and rule of law, ok?"

    Yet, immediately after #CCP again revealed its nature with #tiananmenmassacre, democracies lined up to finance and reindustrialize that #dictatorship instead. With honorary #WTO membership to manipulate at will.

    You can look at *any* tinpot dictatorship or strongman today and ask if he would be in power without #CCP's support and *example*. That includes #putin and the magas he groomed

  37. Lyudmila Ulitskaya is a Russian writer, now living in Berlin, after speaking out against the war in Ukraine. Last night I finished what could be her final novel Jacob’s Ladder - a family saga spanning a century of recent Russian history. The story alternates effortlessly between characters and time frames, leading to an extremely satisfying conclusion in modern Russia. Ulitskaya has used excerpts from actual family letters and KGB files for details.
