ZIL 112, 1951. A Soviet Russian racing car from their the Likhachev plant , which was also responsible for making government limousines. The race car was nick-named “cyclops” because of its single central headlamp. The car's fibreglass bodywork imitated the GM La Sabre dream car designed by Harley Earl in 1950. It was powered by a ZIL V8 engine modified for racing

Hero Soviet Rifle Platoon is complete

I cannot believe that this is only 5 points of guys... I'm not sure how I'm going to survive this. I'm not sure how anyone fields full sized battalions of these guys either!

The command elements, including kommissar

Flames of War definitely leans on Hollywoodisms and vibe with their rules, which can get a little annoying and dehumanizing, but the appeal of little guys in more traditional back and forth wargames is alluring and nostalgic to me

Has anyone here had any experience with Battlegroup? I've heard it's a good alternative that's more crunchy

I was just watching a documentary on the US space program, and after the Soviet Union beat the americans to getting the first successful manned space flight, with Yuri Gagarin doing a full orbit of Earth, a year later the US finally managed to get their own first kosmonaut into orbit, John Glenn, who took these photographs of the Earth.

Now is it just me or is there a beautiful Hammer and Sickle cloud floating over the coast of Africa, just to rub in the fact that the USA lost the space race?

A funny thing in bloodborne is that Molotov cocktails exist, which means that both WW1 and WW2 happened in the bloodborne timeline. Molotov cocktails are named after Vyacheslav Molotov, a Soviet Minister. During the Winter war between the Soviets and the Finns, Molotov claimed that the bombs they were dropping over Finland were actually humanitarian food deliveries, for their starving neighbors. In response, the Finn's named Molotov cocktails after Molotov to mock him. They said it was "a drink to go with his food parcels". Molotov was also extremely important in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany just before WW2. Thus, these events had to have happened for Molotov Cocktails to be named so in Bloodborne. This is a joke obviously, don't take it seriously.

THE COMPOSITE PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE EASTERN FRONT -- MAN VERSUS NATURE.

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1600x1067 -- Spotlight on a composite photograph titled "Reindeer Yasha beyond the Arctic Circle," World War II, Murmansk Area, USSR, c. 1941. 📸: Yevgeny Khaldei.

MINI OVERVIEW: "World War II planes bomb a hillside while a shellshocked reindeer looks on. The stark interface between the killing machines of man and the natural grandeur and beauty of the reindeer was not "natural."

Yevgeny Khaldei, the famous Soviet photographer who took this photo, frequently staged or manipulated his photos to (as he defended the practice) enhance and strengthen the “truth” of the visual moment."

-- RARE HISTORICAL PHOTOS, "Reindeer in Murmansk," 1941

See this little guy?

Well I have a whole little collection of matroshkyas because when I was 9 I thought they were the cutest thing since hello kitty, and so my grandma got it into her head that because I wanted a matroshkya ONE TIME therefore I was going to get one every year for the rest of time...

Well today I decided to give away one of my... extra... dolls to @littlebluebarista, when she promptly turned it over and found this inscription on the bottom:

Well that's a new one.

The doll is officially older than me and I have no idea how it got to the US, but @littlebluebarista encouraged me to keep it because it's a historical artifact, I guess

The great comrade Lenin, master strategist & theorist of the revolutionary Marxist Bolsheviks & co-founder of the USSR, died 100 years ago today.

We honor his contributions by continuing to wage a correct & determined struggle for the abolition of capitalism & the building of socialism & communism.

"Lenin" by Langston Hughes:

Lenin walks around the world. Frontiers cannot bar him. Neither barracks nor barricades impede. Nor does barbed wire scar him.

Lenin walks around the world. Black, brown, and white receive him. Language is no barrier. The strangest tongues believe him.

Lenin walks around the world. The sun sets like a scar. Between the darkness and the dawn There rises a red star.

45mm Soviet Anti Tank battery

In formation as part of the Hero Rifle Battalion, to provide basic light AT

They're going to be paired up with the in formation 82mm mortars and a pair of the 57mm guns for a decent mix. Honestly not a fan of the 76mm given the abundance of it in T-34s and KV-1s already

Sadly in late war I feel like these are almost a waste, better to drown cars and APC in PTRD or just bring real guns for big guys I think
