speaking of this trad polytheism, FF what are your takeaway from the books about the rebirth of slavic paganism in ukraine? That specific branch of IE religion gets overlooked in favor of norse heathenry/greco-roman revivals or more crunchy new agey types like wicca.

I mean the giant rear end book on it pretty explicitly says its the civic religion of blood and soil nationalism, with no theological or historical basis but a way to add more rite and ritual to being in Azov, more or less

IMO (with the help of a time machine), the Soviet Union needed to immudiately form OPEC+ with Saudi right after the oil crisis to counter the Carter doctrine. With lower and lower oil price, the Soviet system was unsustainable even before Gorbachev came to power.

i feel the GCC arabs were sufficiently warned to stay in line and not gently caress with america or else after the last time they used the oil weapon.

Or else what though? American influence in GCC depends on whether the Saudis can resist the US military bases.

Would the First five-year plan probably still happen? (Yes, it was already part of an inter-party debate at the same)

Nice try tankie but the first five-year plan was just a continuation of the GOELRO Plan proposed by Lenin, the greatest of men.

Lenin did not actually come up with the goelro plan.

This is what the original photo looks like if you crop to that section and flip it 180.


This is what the tweet looks like that you claim is only flipped, not edited.


If those two look like the same thing to you, your eyes are just really, really hosed up. The colors around the letters don't even match.

quote:

On January 19, the Church holiday of Epiphany is celebrated, which completes the Christmas and New Year cycle. Traditionally, water is blessed on Epiphany to commemorate the fact that Christ sanctified water by his baptism in the Jordan River. It is believed that on January 19, it has a special power of healing.
Paratroopers of the 46th separate air assault brigade honor traditions and joined the celebration.

what cause? It's this hosed up thinking that has dipshits screaming about people being 'wrong' with their guesses as if CSPAM is a thinktank. None of this matters. The only thing on these forums that has mattered regarding this war is GBS and D&D donating money to actual neonazis but even they can only do so much with $30,000
