Fun fact: Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth got the biggest GDP among all EU countries before Sweden+Russia invaded...

@ricolync "Lenin and Stalin met in 1905 at a party conference, but did not maintain close contact for more than a decade. They met on different occasions maybe a few times. One of these meetings in particular must have been exceptionally successful. After Stalin visited him in 1913, the future leader of the revolution wrote to Maxim Gorky about the "wonderful Georgian". However, the impression could not last long, since two years later Lenin was unable to remember the full name of the newcomer from Transcaucasia"... USSR was a Germanic project, they invented the ideology, were giving home to Lenin when he was forced to run awey from Russia and first book of Stalin was published in Vienna(at that time Stalin, Trotsky, Adolf and Tito were all living there as one big socialist family...).

@asbisi And what is new about it? Russians were doing that for 200 years... Why do you think so many people in Russia have Polish surnames that end with -ski?! Konstanty Ciołkowski(Tsiolkovsky) -> son of Polish noble send to Siberia for taking part in upraising against Russia, home schooled by his father->was a Russian and Soviet rocket scientist who pioneered astronautics->his equations(Tsiolkovsky rocket equation) are used to this day. Igor Sikorski->nickname: Mr. Helicopter->similar story...

@jimbob-robob "We're there tent cities or medical bankruptcy thru private health cover in Soviet Russia" They got something better "Hyperinflation in early Soviet Russia connotes a seven-year period of uncontrollable spiraling inflation in the early Soviet Union," they destroyed curency and after killing 5 to 10 millions of Russian citizens in revolution they managed to starve few more millions of civilians with ideas like "nationalisation of farms", they also reduced industrial production to a small % of what it was and "have nothing and be happy about it" was the new norm! You know; the standard history of any country that is ready to test communism on its own citizens.

@sk-sm9sh "is their first shot" First thing to do on the list was to antagonize everyone... btw. Any idea why locals were loced behind concrete walls that are strangly similar to the brick walls that was build for them in WW2? Why stuff like chocolate, toys we not allowed to be delivered to this places? Not to mention that stuff like construction materials are sanctioned to this day...

@JS-ip8xm The aid to Germany, especialy in preparing for WW2 was signed in 1922, Treaty of Rapallo. "The Kama tank school (German: Panzerschule Kama) was a secret training school for tank commanders operated by the German Reichswehr near Kazan, Soviet Union. It operated from 1929 to 1933. The school was established in order to allow the German military to circumvent the military restrictions on tank research spelled out in the Treaty of Versailles. Apart from Kama, for the same reason Germany also operated the Lipetsk fighter-pilot school (1926–33) and a gas warfare facility, Gas-Testgelände Tomka (1928–31)." Later leader of Germany made decision that allowing Soviets to know every German military secret may be not the best idea and moved training to Germany(with little to no oposition from the West)... In 1939 German tanks got crew with Soviet training, tanks made with soviet metals and fuel tanks full of Soviet oil...

USSR fell apart because there was not much left to exploit from Central European countries... golden age was right after the war when they looted half of Europe!

@kotIetukas "In case of Lithuania it was independant and became biggest country in europe in 15th century, later in 1569 Lithuania and Poland engaged in lublin treaty and became polish-lithuanian commonwealth." With that type of understanding of the history you can high-five all the Russians that this that you wanted to be part of USSR!😅 Prince of Lithuania married Queen of Poland and by doing so became The King of Poland(it was planed as union from day one) especialy that Germans were planing to conquer Lithuania and it was obvious that with Lithuania under control Poland will be next... Together Poland and Lithuania won battle in 1410 and that stoped Germans idea to start new crusades in the central Europe(as Germans were selling the idea all over the West that Poland is only pretending to be Christian and Christianisation of Lithuania was a mistification->that Christianisation was part of the deal of allowing Lithuanian Prince to be the King of Poland). Also i would like to ask how Lithuania became so big when so many time Lithuanian forces were late and Polish army was wining the battles in Lithuania without Lithuanian nobles present on the battlefield...=>Most famous example is Battle of Vienna (1683), but exactly the same situation was in 1610 when Sweden and Russia was preparing invasion of The Commonwealth and somehow among commanders that won Battle of Klushino we can notice the lack of Lithuanian surnames...

@hatersgonnalovethis Read Heinz Reinefarth bio... how Germans made a politician out of a guy that got on his hands 150000-200000 civilians and refused to charge him with anything and why. "Germany is very liberal and pacifist nowadays." That is why there is over 2X increase in sell of forbiden items to ex-soviet countries that have customs union with Russia... Germany saying one thing and doing the exact oposite->"This is my last territorial demand in Europe" - democraticaly elected lidear of Germany in 1938. Japan?(yea, you have no idea aswell), from wikipedia: " The Japanese relied heavily on the new Polish secret service for training in decryption and continued their close military co-operation even after the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II. Japan rejected war with Poland for this reason. The Japanese relied on the vast Polish network of spies and allowed the Poles to openly place their agents inside embassies of its protectorate of Manchukuo. Their military cooperation was so close that the Japanese ambassador was one of the people involved in the smuggling of a Polish flag made for the London-based Polish Air Squadron. Before the war, Japan wanted Poland to join the Axis countries. At the time of the signing the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and subsequent attack on Poland, Japan declared that from now on it would never trust A. H. anymore and would only use him for its own purposes,"

@lauraa7042 In 1939 and 1940 yes. But in general? Nope. Google "What country has won most battles?" You will be surprised...
