On May 19, 1947, the Soviet Tupolev Tu-4 bomber made its first flight. The new plane was an exact copy of the most advanced aircraft of the time, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. Why did the Soviets, instead of creating something original, choose to blatantly copy the American bomber? And most importantly—how did they manage to do it?

Today, Russia launched a Kh-101 cruise missile strike on the "Ohmatdyt" children's hospital. The missile hit the building where children were receiving blood purification for kidney failure, seriously damaging the intensive care, operating, and oncology departments. I have nothing new to say to the Russian scum. I also have nothing new to say to that part of the West which, throughout all these years, continues to support Ukraine, even if only with words. I only want to address those people in the USA, Canada and Europe who support politicians seeking peace agreements with Russia. I am sure that sooner or later you will again get low gas prices, low mortgage rates, and "pure blood" societies with no immigrants. But I would like you to look at these photos and videos from Ukraine and always remember at what cost you got all that.

There was a saying that Russians have never understood: "There's no such thing as other people's children." It seems, though, that the Western world is also losing this understanding.

This is Henry Ford, a genius who revolutionized American manufacturing, bringing automobiles to the masses and creating a foundation for America’s middle class by pioneering liveable factory wages.

But this is also Henry Ford who used his status as one of America's most well-known and trusted business leaders to systematically spread conspiracy theories about Jews. Ford’s essays and booklets helped fuel antisemitism in the U.S. and abroad. His screeds against Jewish people became so well-known at home and abroad that he is the only American whom Adolf Hi**er compliments by name in Mein Kampf.

In 1938, N**i Germany awarded Ford the Grand Cross of the German Eagle, the country’s highest medal for foreigners. Ford received the award for his “humanitarian ideals” and devotion “to the cause of peace, like Germany’s Führer and Chancellor has done,” according to the proclamation Hi**er signed.

I hereby propose to nominee Elon Musk () for the highest honorary title of Russia - Hero of the Russian Federation.

Amazing story of pairing a Soviet Mikoyan MiG-27 light fighter-bomber with an enormously powerful GSh-6-30 aircraft gun. A gun, one might say, even more powerful than the GAU-8 installed on the A-10 Thunderbolt.
