Nadiia Korolova was born in the village of Ivankivtsi in Podillia region. When the Holodomor broke out, she was 10 years old. Podillia was among the first regions to start rioting against mass compulsory collectivisation (making villagers forcefully join collective farms, “kolhosps” — ed.) and the closing of churches in 1929. Outraged by the regime’s actions, Ukrainian villagers chased out the local officials and activists from their villages and took control over the district centres. In 1932 the opposition of the rural population reached threatening levels, and the Soviet regime sent military units to suppress the riots. The clashes lasted for days.

“Today I Spoke Latvian” – Punishment during Russification in Latvia
Czech Writer’s comment on Russia
Karel Havlicek Borovsky
1821-1856
“Russians like to label everything Russian ‘Slavic’, so that they can later label everything Slavic as ‘Russian’.”
“It is a land of misery destruction and booze with many literary works about misery, destruction and booze. And that is what Russia brings to the world. No exceptions.”

The one in the lower left shares my last name, apparently.
The Galician SS Division was formed when the Nazis were already in full retreat. They consisted of about 13,000 young men from Western Ukraine. I think (and also, I would like to think) that they were following the pattern of 25 years earlier, where Ukrainians served in the Autro-Hungarian Army, and then formed a core of a Ukrainian army for the short-lived Ukrainian state. In their only major engagement, the Battle of Brody, the Galician SS Division took 80% casualties.
One veteran of the battle, Hryhoriy Hevryk, was taken into the Red Army, killed in Poland, and made an official Hero of the Soviet Union.
Some veterans of the Division later carried out war crimes.

Mitch McConnell is one of the most influential guys in US govt. In my opinion, he’s generally wrong, but MAAN! he’s speaking truth on this interview. “defeating the Russians is the single most important thing going on in the right now”.

According to FM Andrei Gromyko, the Soviet negotiation strategy had three principles:
1. Demand the Maximum. Don’t ask, demand something that has never been yours.
2. Give Ultimatums. Threaten
3. Don’t give an inch in negotiations. Rely on Westerns who will always offer something.

Rest in Peace, Yuri Maltsev
My friend and co-author, Yuri Maltsev passed away. He was born in Tartarstan, Soviet Union. He worked as a high level economist for Gorbachev before defecting (he hated that word) to the US. He worked as an economics professor, was a senior fellow at the Mises Institute, and sharply criticized the Soviet Union and Putin’s Russia.
