          This is not a "water tank". The simplest village moonshine still. Moonshine is an invariable currency for exchange for food, things, treats in the end.
          In a series of photos, especially pleasing, a photo of the German graves of murdered fascist invaders.
          Let the Germans and others who want to gain Russian lands more often look at these photos and know what awaits them in Russia - a wooden cross and abandoned unknown graves.

      Yes, the poverty is amazing. I must say a huge thank you to the Soviet government, which literally out of nowhere for some 15-20 years, already by 60, managed to create more or less tolerable living conditions for ordinary people. In this respect, I would like to compare the "independent" nationalist authorities of Ukraine, which inherited a well-developed country in 23 years, on the contrary, destroyed everything.

        And where was this Soviet power until 1943 when these pictures were taken? Why didn’t she create a worthy life for her citizens in more than 20 years?
        Why is there still no water and gas in all villages? Not enough water? Desert?

            You compare the length of roads in North America and the European part of the USSR, not Israel.

            Yes, and 4 years of war, which has preserved a large number of Jews for Israel, at the cost of the life of a huge number of able-bodied people, is still affecting.

            What are you saying? Saved the Jews or themselves from enslavement? In the photographs, reality is not after 4 years of war, but after 20+ years of Soviet power, which they are trying to praise here. The bourgeoisie did not have Soviet power, but the roads were ... Miracles, however.

            With him there was a powerful explosive charge made in the form of a belt and stuffed with metal balls, nails, screws for a greater lethal effect.

                Oh, how I love climate songs. In Canada, it means subtropics.

                You better tell us why in all of Russia the length of roads is 1,283,387 km, and in Canada 1,042,300 km? About America in general I am silent 6,586,610 km. I guess that the Jews are to blame, but what specific fault they find it difficult to formulate. wink

                Yes, the expense of goodness and progress, he himself knows why, and the neighbors are asking us to be treated, who for a better life, and who about envy and undermine themselves. On account of "the Jewish state appeared thanks to Soviet power" I do not feed the trolls today, come tomorrow.

                And my wife, a Jew, will support me.

                Support in what? In anti-Semitism? That the Jews are to blame for everything? I willingly believe ... let the wife of her husband be afraid ... laughing Or support in your understanding of Hamas and Hezbollah that aim at the physical destruction of Jews (and not just Israel) including your wife.
