Clearly it wasn't massive enough for the Soviets.

If there is one thing communists love more than killing nobility and proving their superiority to capitalists, its impracticality.

Each painting get bigger with each leader, to highlight their greater devotion to communism than their predecessor.

And to show how much they love the people, by looming over them constantly.

I found something really interesting regarding dividing California in the 1850s. But the language used is so confusing and I was wondering if I could get some help visualizing it. "thence, thence, thence, thence" ah shoot me.

A map of California at the time for reference.

And Soviet wanted to fix it by building… another canal that would reroute waters of Ob, Irtysh and Yenisey towards the Aral Sea:

Map of the Soviet land development projects as planned by Stalin. The canal you see coming from the Amu Darya destroyed the Aral Sea.

Actually, the canal was never built, it's just the restoration of a distributary that flowed during ancient times (Uzboy river). It would probably be more effective and less damaging if they done that instead of the more complicated and inefficient system they actually built

Myself am more in favor of digging a canal at sea level via the Manych and flooding the Caspian depression instead, which would make the local climate slightly better

Ah, apologies then. Couple headlines on the images on google were "citing" News Sources. Didn't feel like checking them out, so that's on me.
