  5. 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?”

  6. 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
