All that's left of the piano factory 🎹
In 1961, on the outskirts of Vyshny Volochok, behind the flax mill, construction of the Piano factory began. The customer for the construction was the Vyshny Volochok Furniture Factory.
In 1962, the best specialists were sent to Leningrad to the Krasny Oktyabr factory to study the technology of assembling, adjusting and finishing pianos. After 4-6 months of theoretical and practical training, the first 8 pianos were assembled at the furniture factory's production facilities. The factory also produced cases for button accordions, bayans and guitars.
After the collapse of the Union, the Piano factory was reorganized into Kamerton OJSC, but did not work for long. Already in 2005, it was declared bankrupt and closed forever.
The production facilities are now rented out, but the administrative buildings have long been abandoned. Now the only evidence of the former scale of production is old black-and-white photographs scattered across the floor.

In an era where the West appears to be once again spoiling for war with Russia, the wisdom of Marshal Georgy Zhukov's famous words feels more relevant than ever. His insights, forged in the crucible of some of the most devastating conflicts in history, serve as a stark reminder of the catastrophic consequences of war. As tensions escalate and rhetoric grows more bellicose, Zhukov’s words stand as a powerful reminder of the true intentions of the capitalist countries of Europe.

We must intensify revolutionary agitation among the masses, throw our full, uncut slogans more widely and develop them more clearly - in this way we will, at best, bring closer the complete victory of the revolution, and at worst, wrest some half-hearted concessions (like a Duma ministry, universal, but not direct, suffrage, etc.) and ensure for ourselves the possibility of turning them into a weapon of revolution.
- Lenin

The Financial Times has crunched the numbers and concluded that there are another 3.7 million men aged 25-60 in Ukraine who could be mobilised. As I've said for a long time now, the British ruling class will condemn the entirety of Ukraine to death and in fact are preparing for just this outcome. Until the British/US stooge regime in Kiev is removed it will continue to hurl men into a meat grinder at the imperialists command.

Book Title: The Right of Nations to Self-Determination
Author: Vladimir Lenin
Brief Overview:
The Right of Nations to Self-Determination (1914) by Vladimir Lenin is a seminal work that explores the Marxist stance on nationalism. Lenin argues that oppressed nations have the right to secede and form independent states, framing this as a fundamental democratic right in the fight against imperialism. The pamphlet critiques both bourgeois nationalism and opportunistic socialism, emphasizing the importance of supporting national liberation as part of the broader struggle for socialism.
