Maryinka 2023 - Minsk Highway 1942
Many years after the war, in 1958, a rifle cartridge was found 160km west of Moscow where fierce fighting during Moscow Counter Offensive had raged. It was all darkened after long time exposure to weather and wind. Within it lay a narrow strip of paper where, with fast, uneven writing, a Russian soldier's last words were written.
Many such last words of heroes of the Great Patriotic War have been found. They reach us like echoes from the past that travelled through time to sound in the hearts of children and grandchildren, of whom, many are now fighting the same inhuman barbarism.
On the 22nd of February 1942, Roman Rudakov's fellow soldier wrote:
"We will stand for as long as our fighting powers last", Alexander wrote. And it did last back then, just as it does now.
What was it, what is it, in these soldiers, that prove tougher than armor and stronger than tanks.
We know, we recognise love. And we know, that the Motherland will hear the call of her children!

12 of us were sent to the Minsk highway to block the way for the enemy, especially the enemy tanks. And we held our ground. Now there are only three of us left: Kolya, Volodya and me, Alexander. And the enemy is right on.
There fell one more - Volodya from Moscow. The tanks keep coming one after the other. There are already 19 burning tanks on the road. But there are only two of us. We will stand as long as our fighting powers last, but we will not let the fascists through until our own forces arrive.
And now, I am alone, wounded in the head and arm. And the tanks added to the count, already 23. I will probably die. But maybe someday someone will find my note and remember us. I am from Frunze, Russian. There are no parents. Goodbye, dear friends. Yours, Alexander Vinogradov. 22/2-1942

A very melancholy story of Liverpool's grand Sefton Park and a women's history with it.

The video shows a unit for centrifugal casting.
The product is an iron pipe.
Centrifugal casting is a method of producing castings by rotating a mold around a central axis.
In this way, products are mainly produced that have the shape of bodies of revolution: pipes, jackets of rolls and bearings, bushings, elements of complex equipment.

Один из самых сильных и самых страшных эпизодов этой войны. Буквально в прямом эфире над Алексеем Мотузом измывались, калечили, обрубали пальцы, требуя, чтобы жена прислала интимные фото... И нет. "Настя, я тебя люблю. Спи давай, не переживай".
И звук выстрела.
Мы стали забывать, как измываются над нашими солдатами в украинском плену.

— Настя, я люблю тебя. Спи давай, не переживай…
Translation of above.
"One of the most powerful and most terrible episodes of this war. Literally live on air they bullied Alexei Motuz, mutilated him, cut off his fingers, demanding that his wife send intimate photos... And no. “Nastya, I love you. Go to sleep, don’t worry.”
And the sound of a shot.
We began to forget how our soldiers were abused in Ukrainian captivity."

Speech by right-wing Social Democrat Gustav Noske , who sanctioned the assassination of the founders of the German Communist Party Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg , at the Royal Castle of Königsberg on April 27, 1919.
Noske, whom the communists dubbed the “bloody dog,” became the architect of the forceful suppression of the Spartacist uprising. In the photo, he is giving a speech to participants in the battle with the revolutionary people's naval division (the city was captured in March 1919).
