  1. Here's what The Counteroffensive is reading today:

    Russian missile tests were held in the #Kuril Islands, a Russian-held territory which #Japan claims was illegally annexed.

    #Putin visited the area on Aug 13, 2 days before the anniversary of the islands being seized by the #USSR.

  6. 😆 Ah, yes, because when we think of the #USSR, "optimization" is the first word that comes to mind. 📚 Reading a novel about Soviet economic woes and calling it "data-driven"? Sure, comrade, whatever helps you sleep at night, dreaming of five-year plans and #gulags. 😂

  11. It's Estonia Independence day on Aug 20th

    The collapse of the #USSR 35 years ago was largely bloodless - the Afghan war, the arms race with the west, cheap oil and a mismanaged economy left a demoralised military unwilling to enforce the rule of a warped communist system on a bankrupt population.

    Countries controlled from Moscow since WW2 simply walked away - Estonia amongst others. The wreckage of the economy that was left was divided up amongst interested parties (oligarchs) and the political vacuum was filled by the only organisation left "intact" - Federal Security Service of the #Russian Federation - thus #Putin became a dictator with powerful enforcement capabilities.

    The majority of the Russian population want the USSR (or at least the International clout) back - Putin is their man!

    Maybe Wildberries and petrol lines will create the same conditions - Putin can see the writing on the wall.

  16. WHY PUTIN HATES UKRAINE

    Thirty-five years ago today, tanks rolled into Moscow and Soviet TV played Swan Lake on a loop instead of the news.

    It was the beginning of the end for the USSR.

    Our new deep dive looks past the treaties to what daily life actually felt like — empty shelves, vanished savings, a flag coming down over the Kremlin.

    It would have been tough as hell for #Hitler to invade any country without the raw materials supplied by #USSR around the critical time of #1940.

  21. Yes, Joni. The Soviet Union was not a state dedicated to human progress, it was the Russian colonial Empire disguised as #socialism

    Eastern European states are the ”proof in the pudding”: After #USSR collapsed, life expentancy in these states has up to doubled.

    #Russia is a barrier on the way to progress. And even though the USA is imperial too, there is no logic there that lets Russia off the hook for what they have done.

  26. UA | Drohobycz | K.u.k. Staatliche Mineralölfabrik | 1918

    Die k.u.k. staatliche Mineralölfabrik Drohobycz wurde 1909 - 1910 erbaut, der Probebetrieb am 19.04.1910 aufgenommen [1, S.4]. Nach dem 1.

  31. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋🎵 In 1984-85, thousands of belugas trapped in #Arctic pack #ice off #Russia’s #Chukchi Peninsula faced starvation.

    The #icebreaker Moskva crushed an escape channel, playing #classical #music to coax the herd forward. Roughly 2,000 survived and about 1,000 died, though the music’s role stayed unverified.

  38. The United States, on the other hand, was not explicitly anti-Zionist, but through the idea of collective acceptance, explicit tolerance, and economic opportunity convinced many Jews to either go to the US, or to stay in the US rather than join the Zionist cause in Israel.

    This was far more effective than any deliberate campaign has ever been in convincing Jews that Zionism was outdated and unnecessary.

    Today's Anti-Zionists could take a lesson from history: If you want to really stop Zionism, offer an alternative that doesn't demand Jews give up their identity or values.

    Discrimination, hate, denigration and even legality won't stop Jews from being Jews.
