    I don’t think Lysenko is a great representation of the Soviet Union. An unstable, charlatan fraud who held the Soviet Union behind by decades in the realm of biology, and was known to target those who opposed his ideas while having breakdowns when other soviet biologists dared to conduct experiments into genetics and not his ludicrous Medieval alchemy esque ideas.


  • You joke about it, but many physical game boxes don’t have discs in them anymore, in favor of redemption codes. Those codes have a fairly high chance of not working, forcing you to go through endless customer service help options to get the game you paid for simply added to your account.




  • Sadly that isn’t true. Gagarin’s first words in space were “The sky is very black. The Earth is blue. Everything can be seen, it is very clear”.

    The line about “No gods” comes from an erroneous attribution of a Khrushchev quote to Gagarin which he supposedly said several days after his trip; however there is no evidence to back this up, which combined with the fact that Gagarin was an active member of the Orthodox Church, makes it unlikely that he ever said anything related to the line.


  • How does “culture” excuse such an attitude? Imagine if a certain group said that their version of socialism allowed them to be racist to another group, or misogynistic — it would rightfully be seen as reactionary and deplorable.

    I struggle to see how this is any different. Further, the Presidentium had been working to make strides in LGBT acceptance and rights in the late 70s, to which they were prevented in moving forward by the disaster that was Gorbachev’s administration.

    The Nazis held 230 of the 608 seats in the Bundestag in 1932, making them by far the most powerful party. For reference the second and third most powerful parties were the SPD with 133 seats, and the KPD with 89 seats, which even when combined falls far short of the Nazi total.

    That at least makes Hindenburg’s attempt to placate the Nazis understandable, even it was suicidal and ultimately disastrous.

    This is just the liberal party whining that the left gained any sort of power and in turn throwing a temper tantrum to make everyone else’s lives worse.

    It’s not real. This has been online since 2021, and despite multiple news agencies trying to track down where this image was taken or the advertising agency who ran it, Musk never tweeting about the billboard, and the overall bizarre nature of the ad, it’s most likely not real.
