  1. Alright so the last small update. My computer is working fine, can play planetside 2 and ultra/high and I get like 120fps, very clear image, so very good. My monitor is screwing with me though, the text is kinda grainy, have to figure that out. Also my microphone seems to have died, I plug it in and it just does not respond at all, I will see if I can maybe fix that, who knows.

War/Death stuff first:

Within the following year, at least 724,000 people are killed on order of the troikas, directed by Joseph Stalin. This is an offensive that targets social classes (such as the kulaks), ethnic or racial backgrounds which are seen as non-Russian,and Stalin’s personal opponents from the Communist Party and their sympathizers.

  1. I’m pretty sure the USSR didn’t declare war on Germany in 1939, they even helped Germany attack Poland.

  1. Germany declares war on the Soviet union and starts Operation Barbarossa on Sunday, 22 June 1941. It was the largest and costliest land offensive in human history, with around 10 million combatants taking part, and over 8 million casualties by the end of the operation.
