I’m here to correct the record. History matters and I’m done letting it be rewritten. Follow me for sourced, visual history of Russia/USSR, and the West’s wars.

Ukraine tries really hard to pretend it's ancient. And the Western media plays along like it's totally normal. Kievan Rus? Obviously Ukrainian. The Cossacks? Ukrainian. The Orthodox Church? Also Ukrainian, apparently. At this point, if they could claim the dinosaurs, they would.

The Real Turning Point of WWII: Why the Kursk battle, Not D-Day, Sealed Hitler’s Fate Western textbooks talk about a D-day being the turning point in the war against Hitler... but that’s not really accurate. Think about it: by that point, the Red Army had already kicked the

Ah yes, Finland – the ‘neutral bystander’ of WWII. Just standing there, totally uninvolved, while Leningrad starved. Cute story. Too bad it’s pure fiction. Reality check: Finnish troops sat on Leningrad’s doorstep for three years. Not sipping coffee, not staying “neutral”. They

So tell me again how it was “Hitler vs. the world.” Because when you look closer… half of Europe wore his uniform. Italy. Slovakia. Hungary. Romania. Finland. All officially declared war on the USSR. Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, France, Switzerland,

I don’t understand why so many people in the West, who have absolutely no personal connection to the USSR, hate Stalin so passionately. And when Russians say, ‘Actually, he was a great leader, life was good under him,’ they immediately dismiss it and say we’ve been brainwashed.

Zhirinovsky warned Ukrainians many times that the West would use them and then destroy them. They didn’t believe him.

A descendant of the Romanov dynasty says it as it is: the West doesn’t see Russia as a “threat”, that’s just PR. The real goal is to erase Russia as a symbol of traditional values.
