Nightwitches

And I thought the RedTails had gotten a raw deal in WWII, but the fact that I have never heard of these ladies until now is truly criminal!!!!!! I'm gonna have to do more research!

For those not in the know, night witches were Russian lady bombers who bombed the German lines in WW2. Thing is though, they had the oldest, noisiest, crappest planes in the entire world. The engines used to conk out halfway through their missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid flight to restart the props. the planes were also so noisy that to stop germans from hearing them combing and starting up their anti aircraft guns, they’d climb up to a certain height, coast down to German positions, drop their bombs, restart their engines in midair, and get out of dodge.
Their leader flew over 200 missions and was never captured.

Git yer Joseph Stalin t-shirts! | True Freethinker

Mariano has posted an article about meeting a young man with a Stalin T-Shirt. He posted the following image but I'm not sure if this was the image on the T-Shirt

My question is: Is the following image what we want which was the result of Stalin's imagination without God?

I don't want that.

Russian Math Genius Grigory Perelman Can Solve a Riddle but Won't Accept a Prize

I was amazed at this story Grigory Perelman - a Russian mathematician - turned down $1 million prize for solving a complex mathematical problem that has stood for over 100 years.

Perelman's fame is due to his solving a riddle that has had mathematicians scratching their heads since 1904, when the Frenchman Henri Poincare posited that a three-dimensional sphere is the only such space that doesn't have holes.

The Russian attracted attention in 2003 when he posted papers on the Internet that later turned out to be proof of Poincare's theory. But Perelman refuses to take all the credit, saying he had built on the work of a Columbia University professor, Richard Hamilton.

Some people think he's crazy. The article I read about this goes on to say:

According to Interfax, Perelman said, "To put it short, the main reason is my disagreement with the organized mathematical community. I don't like their decisions. I consider them unjust."

The article seems to suggest that this is crazy talk. It doesn't seem crazy to me. Almost every organized community is corrupt. Why would the mathematical community be any different?

Back in 2006, the then president of the International Mathematical Union, John Ball, said he had traveled to St. Petersburg, Russia, where Perelman lives in seclusion with his elderly mother, to try to better understand the Russian's reasons for rejecting awards.

Ball told the BBC he had spoken to Perelman about his differences with the mathematical community.

"However, I am unable to disclose these comments in public," Ball said, adding, "He has a different psychological makeup, which makes him see life differently."

This part intrigued me - "psychological makeup, which make him see life differently" is a polite way of saying that Perelman is nuts. I kind of would like to know what Perelman said to Ball. I bet he had choice words as to how unjust the organizations are that have been trying to give him money.

Stalin - Man of Steel

Image via Wikipedia

Witness the brutal story of Joseph Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union with an iron hand. Even Stalin's successors viewed him as brutal, and in the years following Stalin's death they heavily toned down his crimes. But now, after the fall of Communism, people have come forward to reveal the tyranny they themselves lived in.
