The free democratic Russian parliament attacked by protestors armed with fucking tanks. A turning point in Russian history, starting the nostalgia for the USSR just a couple of years after it was destroyed, and making way for Putin to become god-emperor.

A couple of high ranking military guys wanted to act against Yeltsin, since he practically disbanded the Russian Empire as it was, and gave up on any international politics or ambitions the USSR had.
Yeltsin proceeded to call them communist revanchists and fascist-communists, and they had 10 tanks join the reactionary protest and fire on the White House.

Yeltsin had the lower ranking soldiers support him eventually, in the last moment another high ranking general supported him and the protests ended.
This also helped create the oligarchy, since people who supported this rebellion didn't FREE factories, oil fiends, and that kind of stuff when the "privatization" process started and due to inflation you could buy city sized industrial complexes for an american construction worker's yearly wages.

Yeah, anyone that collaborated with the Germans was at the very least roughed up, and arrested. Some were executed immediately, which was later called the "Savage purification", some had a fair trial later. Women that had relationships with German men (including prostitutes who had profited too much from the occupation) were humiliated in public, with other women often having a leading role in the lynch mob. Even men in relationships with Germans auxiliaries were sometimes targeted. Some were just driven out of town, some were outright lynched. 9 000 people were killed during the "savage purification", then 300 000 people were investigated for collaboration, with 97 000 condamnations ranging from 5 years of "national unworthiness", which prevented those affected from voting, owning weapons or working in the public sector, to the death penalty.

People had spent 5 years in constant fear and anger, so all those bottled up feelings exploded against those that didn't do enough against the Germans or outright helped them. There were quickly laws that pardoned the more petty crimes, though, like participating in the black market.

>>3142822
Both the Germans rushing to the front and then those retreating were targeted plenty by the resistance, and the resistance was crucial to provide intel and support to British, American and Free French troops during the liberation. The "purification" targeted anyone had been perceived as sympathetic to the Germans or as having benefited from the occupation, not just women. And these women were not innocent, they provided comfort to the enemy, they were traitors. And don't fool yourself about love, while it's possible some were genuinely in love with the Germans, it was also about getting protection and advantages. You also forget that women often took a leading role: they had seen their men killed, their sons sent to work camps, they feared for their life, and these women just sold themselves to the ennemy, for a few more rations? They had every right to be angry.

>The cosmonauts knew that the spacecraft had major safety problems, but Komarov stated that if he were to refuse to fly, Gagarin would be forced to go instead. Komarov chose to fly to protect Gagarin, and insisted before the flight that his funeral be open-casket so that the Soviet leadership could see what they had done.

>On orbital insertion, the solar panels of the Soyuz module failed to fully deploy. Komarov reported: "Conditions are poor. The electrical bus is at only 13 to 14 amperes. The HF (high frequency) communications are not working. I cannot orient the spacecraft to the sun. I tried orienting the spacecraft manually using the DO-1 orientation engines, but the pressure remaining on the DO-1 has gone down to 180."

>Komarov was ordered to re-orient the craft using the ion flow sensors on orbits 15 to 17. The ion sensors failed. Manual orientation relied on using the equipped Vzor periscope device, but in order to do this, Komarov needed to be able to see the Sun. To reach the designated landing site at Orsk the retro-fire would need to take place on the night side of the Earth. Komarov oriented the spacecraft manually on the dayside then used the gyro-platform as a reference so that he could orient the craft for a night side retro-fire. He successfully re-entered the Earth's atmosphere on his 19th orbit, but the module's drogue and main braking parachute failed to deploy correctly and the module crashed into the ground, killing Komarov.

Imagine being stuck in a malfunctioning spacecraft with sensors and systems failing one after the other, and having to break out pen and paper to manually do literal rocket science, based on observing the position of the sun as if you're living in the pre-compass era, and through some miracle actually getting the calculations right and successfully re-entering, only to die anyway because the parachute failed too. And you only went up in the first place to save your friend's life.

Are you sure this is the Christmas Truce? "The" Christmas Truce was in 1914 and there was some limited continuation in 1915.

However, both of the center soldiers are wearing metal helmets; both the British Brodie and the German Stahlhelm weren't in use until 1916, so this couldn't possibly have been taken at any point when the Christmas Truce happened.

The Feldmutze suggests it had to be in World War I, so I'm more inclined to think it was taken right after the armistice, or one of these two sides are actually prisoners.

Either way, I'm 90% sure this is NOT a picture of the Christmas Truce.

>>3129181
That ain't the Christmas Truce. Allied and German soldiers fraternized a lot more than just at Christmas.

Fuck, this would be a difficult as fuck situation to handle.

On one hand, this lady just broke the law and ran to another country to escape. Not sending her back is setting a precedent that this is ok and you'll get to stay, and will cause tension to build and risks heating things to on the path to war.

On the other, if you send her back, she will probably be executed even if she's committed no other crime. You're essentially signing her death warrant no matter how you rationalize it, even if you say it's her fault for running over the border or East Germany's fault for being a shithole anyway. At this point in time, her life is in your hands, and you have to make a choice.

Tell her to leave while you sort it out with the border guards. See if they want to start WWIII over a single person crossing into a better country.

The problem is, it's one more thing adding to a growing list of things that increase tension. In a vacuum, it's minor, but it very well could wind up being the straw that broke the camel's back.

I'd be hoping that the east germans were rational enough to realize that a single defector isn't worth getting in a war over. This IS worst Germany we're talking about though, so who knows?

Depends on the section of Texas. Dallas area is closer related to the rest of the South, as is the eastern end of the state. Coast has enclaves of Czech, Polish, and Vietnamese. Hill Country has German enclaves, which until the early 1900s, could've been considered their own state as few spoke English or participated in outside affairs. Mexicans can be found in higher concentrations near the boarder and slowly dwindle as you proceed north.

Of course, the major cities have a huge variety of population, and every once in a while you find a small town where blacks have congregated as well.
