  1. Use of Penal Battalions

    According to the memoirs of a soviet war hero the penal battalions had its good sides. The officers were treating the grunts better(they didn't want a bullet in the back).

  9. more Whites in Africa

    If South Africa and Southern Rhodesia(that manages to hold on till the fall of the Iron Curtain) open the gates wide open for Eastern Europeans it might change a lot of things there especialy if they work for stopping the coloured population boom. The apartheid fell in 1994, but with 10...

  16. Tsar Simeon campaigns to be King, not Prime Minister

    Simeon II wasn't a politician in 1996(nor in 2001, he ran as the leader of national movement, not political party). During the 1996-97 the Bulgarians were willing to welcome a military dictatorship to get them out of the mess. BTW: If they bring back the monarchy in Russia or Bulgaria, the...
