Nevermind that Stalin 's pact with Hitler gave the Nazi war machine free reign to conquer most of Western Europe in 1940, or that Stalin's dogged insistence that Hitler would never betray him allowed the invaders to methodically encircle the Red Army's corps until they reached the gates of Moscow in...

American lend-lease provided the Soviets with hundreds of thousands of light and heavy duty trucks. The Red Army could not have transformed itself from a horse supplied force to a highly mobile war machine without these American imports.

You take a deliberately one-sided view of events, forcing me to do the same. That's how you start arguments on thes forums, I have noticed.

Peaceful Italian soldiers. Actually I have information from the first hands. Despite being in occupation, my grandma keeps good memory about Italian soldiers. They paid for food and accommodation. They also helped in housework and farm work. They never insulted Russian people, who mostly were women...

Also I did tell you before that the Red Army was badly equipped at some points, another reason for the huge castualties as Stalin told his troops that anyone retreating would find a Russian gun at their head (so they run towards the enemy without even a rifle, almost 2 million Russians died in the b...

Why do stereotypes exist?

http://russianfatcat.blogspot.com/2007/09/stalins-tipping-point.html Any honest account of the battle for Moscow would undermine the Soviet story line of "The Great Patriotic War." Those sanitized versions, now reinforced in the era of President Vladimir Putin, portray Joseph Stalin as a ...

Why do stereotypes exist? It’s because one Londoner waste his holyday in speaking with that bad Russian about dead bodies instead of going to the beach and flirt with some good-looking tall Asian girl. Speedy, have a break. Have a nice weekend! :) I certainly can multitask... :P Enjoy your weekend ...

He/she I am sure has no figures or data. At a guess I would say that as there are a lot of British and Indians here so there are more of them to leave, it's pure weight of numbers. I reckon that percentagewise, just as many of most other nationalities are 'skipping' too, but the actual numbers will ...

I'm thinking that Customs may take it away from you and give you a receipt, saying come back in a month's time to collect it. That's what they did with a high powered air pistol I arrived with a few years ago. Not sure what happens after that as I never bothered to go back to collect it. You can buy...

Keep it in the US, where it belongs.

Well, I think that's his business, but he could start by shooting all the bastard cats that sleep and urinate on the roof of my soft top car......

But why should you expect them to put you in jail? You know very well that bouncing a cheque should be a civil not criminal offence.

I thought Mickey had come here and was posting anti-UAE rubbish on these forums. :roll: However I admit that I also would rather that Mr. and Mrs. High Street UK and their six snotty kids went to the USA to join the super-overweight holidaymakers stuffing their faces with turkey drumsticks and super...

Mate, my car is under cover but it's an open garage. I bought a cover for the roof, the tomcats now spray all over that instead, which is not as bad as it was except that I have to handle it every day to put it on and off :( Cats are wild animals that should not be classed as pets, nobody has any co...

trying desparately hard to reach 15 so I can get my avatar, life here is expensive and lots of us need credit to pay rent, live and contribute. If, all of a sudden, you lose your job through no fault of your own, how can you pay the credit off? :? tell me please, I need help!! That's the whole poin...

Good man. I love labs, never had one though. My parents used to own a pet shop so I've been brought up an animal lover, but cats... I guess it's only the anti-social side of them I've a problem with. Is it cruel to clip their claws and keep them indoors, walking them in a harness if you really feel ...

Wow, this place is full of whiners about lost love. Perhaps I say this cause I am in a fulfilling and meaningful relationship. You all need to try harder and stop spending your time whining on DF. Hey even when you are in a great relationship, don't forget, ultimately you are still alone. Think abo...

For many expatriate workers in Dubai it was the ultimate symbol of their tax-free wealth: a luxurious car that few could have afforded on the money they earned at home. Now, faced with crippling debts as a result of their high living and Dubai’s fading fortunes, many expatriates are abandoning thei...
