How the hell did Russia convince the IOC they could hold the winter olympics?

I'm assuming massive bribes, but is there a technical reason?

Bribes are a technical reason.

So how did the russians defeat the germans in WW2 again. Or have a succesful space program.

'cause it doesn't compute. :psyduck:

Part 1) US support.
Part 2) German scientists.

Because Hitler was a massive screwup who decided to divert forces to Kiev while at the same time attempting to invade Russia, thereby losing a few weeks before the Russian winter set in and frankly no one wins when they attempt to invade Russia.

You're right, the Germans should have left a whole Soviet army to threaten their unprotected flanks driving towards Moscow.

All Roman toilets were public, and you shared a single sponge.
