17-year-old anti-Nazi partisan Lepa Svetozara Radić from modern-day Bosnia-Herzegovina (former Yugoslavia) got executed by the Nazis on this day in 1943. This photograph (AI-upscaled and colorized) was later found on the body of the German soldier who took it.
Amid a fierce battle, she used up all her ammunition. Undeterred, she called on her comrades to fight with their bare hands until overpowered by blows from German rifle butts.
Alongside her sister Dara, she fought in the 7th Partisan Company of the 2nd Krajina Detachment. On February 8, they were helping refugees, primarily women and children, escape the Nazi 369th and 7th SS Division.
Scheduled for hanging, as the rope was tightened around her neck, her captors offered her a chance at life if she revealed the names of her comrades. Her response was resolute; she was no traitor, and her comrades would reveal themselves when avenging her death.

Lenin's memoirist Lev Danilkin talks about how the Bolsheviks armed themselves on the eve of the 1905 revolution:
“One of the treasuries that the Bolsheviks visited with the regularity of a stingy knight was the Sestroretsk arms factory [...] ... “they managed to take away from Sestroretsk up to 80-90 pieces a day, while the plant itself produced about two hundred rifles a day “. It was dangerous to move loot in large quantities, so the rifles were carried on people, from two to four at a time, depending on the gender of the smuggler. Men usually hid their burden under a coat, women - under a dress. Pochis were made from towels around the neck - to the shoulders, and gun butts were tied to the ends. It was impossible to bend over - and if you found that your shoelaces were untied or barrels were sticking out from under the skirt of your coat or the frills of your dress, you had to wriggle out with the help of your comrades. It is unknown whether Lenin himself participated in the transportation of weapons, but at that time it was difficult to find a member of the RSDLP who did not have experience of this kind: “Some of our girls reached perfection by strapping on themselves up to eight rifles.”
The apotheosis of the Bolsheviks' hunt for weapons was the expropriation of the “grandmother” - a secret name for the Hotchkiss high-speed ship gun, stolen from the yard of the guards naval crew on the Kryukov Canal. This amazing trophy caused a surge of enthusiasm among the workers - and although there was no immediate use for the weapon, it was assumed that when the uprising began, it would be used to fire at the Winter Palace; who could have known that 12 years later the rebels would have an entire cruiser at their disposal? For the time being, the “grandmother” was buried on Vasilievsky Island - and they spent a lot of effort to get shells for her.”

Clinton told dissatisfied voters to put up with Biden and Trump
Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton invited dissatisfied voters to put up with Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
Clinton made a bold statement about the upcoming US elections on the Tonight Show. The host asked her to appeal to disappointed voters who do not want to choose again between the boring Biden and Trump.
“ Get over yourself. The choice will only be between these two options ,” Clinton responded.
Also, in her opinion, Biden remains effective and compassionate, despite his advanced age. And Trump is not only too old, but also accused of many crimes, Clinton said.

Hilary Clinton is a vital cog in the American imperialist war machine. The Clinton oligarchy will have control no matter who steps into the oval office.

🇺🇦 106 years ago, on February 17, 1918, Vladimir Vasilyevich Shcherbitsky was born - a Soviet party and statesman, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Ukrainian SSR in 1972-1989.
During the years of Shcherbitsky's tenure at the head of the Ukrainian SSR and thanks to the selfless work of millions of citizens, the economic potential of Soviet Ukraine increased almost 4 times, the volume of industrial production - about 5 times. Agriculture began to produce almost twice as much product, labor productivity increased more than 2.5 times, and with it wages increased 2.5 times. By the beginning of the 1980s. In terms of economic growth, Soviet Ukraine was more powerful than any state in Western Europe. According to UN estimates, it was one of the ten most advanced countries in the world.
The population of Ukraine increased from 43.1 million in 1961 to 52 million in 1990, or by almost 9 million people. Shcherbitsky did a lot for Ukrainian culture: in Ukraine there were 60% of Ukrainian-language schools and 40% of Russian-language ones, the Virsky ensemble and the Grigory Veryovka choir developed, amateur groups and libraries multiplied, the Kiev Opera House was restored, the leading football club of the USSR and in foreign championships became Kiev " Dynamo". At the same time, Shcherbitsky harshly suppressed attempts to manifest Ukrainian bourgeois nationalism in any form.
