Looks like the Ukrainians have dropped a U.S.-donated JDAM bomb by plane on Russian positions for the first time.

Alas, more ziggernotions and ziggerlies. The body is literally titled “ESTIMATING EXCESS MORTALITY IN 1889–1893” ie. The Great Famine ie. the worst famine in the pre-Soviet era, and it looks specifically at 1892. “This paper has presented an estimate of the number of victims of the famine that peaked in 1892 which is much higher than the previously presented estimates.”
In other words it covers one famine.
Incidentally their methodology also estimates a higher-than-normal Holodomer death toll of over 9 million. Of course you skipped over that part, because vatnig schools make Boston public schools look like Oxford. Do the perfidious ziggerschools teach anything beyond how to get r*ped in the army before driving over a landmine?
Only took a full 40 years after Imperial Russia ended them
Up to 1940 levels, after which they stagnated for 50 years until they collapsed under their own weight
Yeah collapsing under the sheer weight of your own stagnation is a better indicator of potential growth than actually growing until a catastrophic war destroys your government. Imagine finding a way to collapse that’s even more embarrassing than getting bussy blasted by Hapsbergs so hard that you were on the winning side but still lost
Like I’m being pro-zigger here, I’m saying that Russian could have been a modern, livable country fit for human beings if WWI hadn’t fricked them over. You’re basically arguing that they’ve been doomed to fail since the beginning.

No,
@Punished_RFV2 admit too collectivization killing 10 million as that is what Stalin admits too. However, kulaks burning half the crop yield.
Despite being mainly about one famine (which they declare may have killed multiple millions), also mentions excess dating back too 1868. Please read more than the names.
The Russian empire never ended the malnutrition or food scarcity and didn’t have too deal with -
Repairing damage from a massive civil war following a world war (famine 1921)
Peasants literally killing something like 60% (don’t remember exact numbers, was very high -@idio3 correct
@Punished_RFV2 if I’m wrong) of their animals (1932) too spite the government.
Massive international sanctions.
And the Tsardom definitely didn’t have famines in 1897, 1901, 1906, and 1911 that required international aid which the Soviets did not get, and whose policy of charity aid and redistribution completely broke in ww1.
Literally r-slurred. Do you think the Soviets would’ve been a superpower that terrified the west if this was true? It’s cold war propaganda.
So true. The Soviets definitely weren’t undemocratically dismantled by Yeltsin, Gorbachev, and their goons too be sold for scrap against the wishes of the Soviet people. And the Russian empire was definitely growing being perpetually stuck 80-100 years behind the great powers in all areas.
Lol.
Face it, the Soviets took the backwater of Europe and turned it into an industrial superpower that beat back the largest invasion in history, developed nuclear weapons and put men into orbit in under 40 years.
I’ll tell you what, you aren’t calling all Russians subhumans who should’ve been generalplan Ost’d so you’re already doing better than most anti communists here.
Trans lives matter.
