    For you, maybe - in USSR people had to share rooms in a flat, so particularly in Stalin times informing on neighbour meant you can move into their bigger room: this was very much encouraged by NKVD.

      14 mln people went through GULAG, probably more, over 1 mln dead for certain, most likely more since many people died later when they were released due to fecked up health.

      During WW2 massive losses were suffered due to incompetence and general approach to war, we are talking about 30 mln dead (Hitler obviously is also responsible for it, but it should have been expected that he'll attack).

      Combined that's about population of UK.

          First of all no worse things happen at sea.

          Secondly the reason I mention it is because of scumbag Alf yet again glorifying Stalin.

          If you have not studied Russian history well then don't comment on it - you'd most certainly be wrong.

                      So pray tell us, what do you cook in your kettle?
                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
