I heartily recommend Elliott Liu's "Maoism and the Chinese Revolution" as a beginning text

"Deng Xiaoping: A Revolutionary Life" is also quite good - it's obviously focused on him but he's been everywhere throughout modern China's history that it ends up covering most of that also

I'm sure 5000 troops will definitely stop an actual russian invasion doing the Courland pocket at 100x speed

also I thought troop mobilisations near borders were an unacceptable act of aggression and escalation??

Kulaks were intentionally cultivated through the Stolypin reforms to be the "fist of the Tsar." The idea was to have a landowning class of peasants who were reactionary and profit-oriented. It wasn't something the Bolsheviks made up for "propaganda."

It's literally something I did not know until I started taking Russian history in college. Until that point, even in a 20th century europe history class i had taken the impression given was that Stalin or the nebulous Communists had come up with the term

I was misled to believe Kulaks were "just peasants" so-as to believe that the Soviets were, of course, hypocrites, that the Hammer and Sickle was a lie, because here they were, the Intelligensia at the head of the Urban Proletariat coming to smash the poor peasantry.

lol I remember all the times I invaded America while being miserable on Maple Resolve.

9 D30’s is a 122mm artillery battery, that’s no joke. It would certainly be enough to make life more miserable for civilians in the Donbas.

as a kid in the 80s I was so confused sitcoms depicted broccoli as disgusting. the florets are perfect for soaking up gravy/sauce?!? my grandmother made a great chicken and broccoli stir-fry.
