  • How their own soldiers that they are so pointlessly sending to their deaths haven’t turned on them yet i still struggle to understand.

    Nazi blocking detachments and mountain loads of anti-Russian propaganda (the latter becoming less and less relevant)

    There were reports of Ukrainian soldiers (probably of the kidnapped off the street kind) being tied to one another with rope and forced to march to their positions at night, under the threat of being shot in the back

    A couple more things about “bad” Soviet apartments:

    • Small patch of land to grow flowers (or potatoes, whichever your babushka prefers)
    • Probably close to a school, a grocery store or some sort of public transport
    • Walls made of real cement and not flammable cardboard
    • Were built to last 50 years, some still going strong after 70 years (at least in my city)

    Yes, there were queues, and you could be waiting for years to get an apartment, I would still prefer the Soviet approach 100 times over.
