Episode 177 - The Bloody White Baron Part 1: Wolf Rehab by Lions Led By Donkeys published on 2021-10-11T06:47:57Z Baron Roman Von Ungern-Sternberg is one of the most insane men to ever live. *clarification: Estonians aren't slavic people. However, Russian and Baltic German nobility saw them as slavs due to their peasant status. No, this makes no sense.

The Tzar and Tzarina were anti-Semites. Even the Cossacks who joined the Red Army were anti-Semites, though Trotsky's skill as a commander changed their minds. 2021-11-05T06:37:47Z Comment by Four-Three-Five Recorder "He's in Korea and he can't leave." Sounds like Hawkeye on "MASH" the sitcom (not "M*A*S*H" the movie). 2021-11-05T06:26:14Z Comment by Four-Three-Five Recorder Japan had sold reams of old Arisaka Type 38 to the Imperial Russian Army because so many Mosin-Nagant rifles were wrecked. That's why Winchester and Westinghouse built Mosin-Nagant rifles for the Czarist and Provisional governments in 1916-1918, a pair of contracts that the US government had to take up to keep both firms from collapsing. This is why we have surplus .30-06 Bannerman Mosins out there; some of the rifles were bought by the US gov't., the rest paid for by the US gov't. because they weren't shipping them to Bolshevik Russia (who wasn't going to pay for them), and the Bannerman military surplus company converted them to .30-06 and "sporterized" them in the mid-1920s. 2021-11-05T06:18:28Z Comment by Four-Three-Five Recorder He's utterly shocked with how sparse things are, how it wasn't Shambala, etc. 2021-11-05T05:52:51Z Comment by Four-Three-Five Recorder Cossacks (at least in the Western portion of Imperial Russia) were just escaped Russian or Ukrainian peasants who picked up Turkic horse-riding skills and were granted their own villages by the government.....as long as they were willing to send men to the Army as specialized dragoons. 2021-11-05T05:37:49Z Comment by Four-Three-Five Recorder That entire war was a trainwreck....for Russia. Two sunken fleets, army units were smashed at Port Arthur. 2021-11-05T05:24:27Z Comment by unixdj Russian nobility also hated Ukrainians and Belarusians (broken Slavs refusing to be Russian), Chechens and Armenians (not even Slavs) and Russian peasants. Not a loving bunch. 2021-10-12T20:28:03Z Comment by unixdj Stalin still had noticeable accent. 2021-10-12T20:19:25Z Comment by unixdj The reason for the pale of settlement was that they hated Jews, but after Partitions of Poland ended up with a Jewish population, so they decided to contain them to the former territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. 2021-10-12T20:16:56Z Comment by unixdj Liam, Noah was not Jewish. I need to talk to the shlimazl rabbi that taught you. 2021-10-12T20:11:29Z Comment by User 606740336 Merch for Crazy Uncle Ottos when?!? 2021-10-11T20:44:19Z Comment by Can You Hear Me Yet? "COVER THE BLACK ARMY, YOU FOOLS" 2021-10-11T15:55:16Z Comment by Can You Hear Me Yet? A series about a man I'll only heard about from a HOI4 mod, starting off with a song I only heard of in a different HOI4 mod. Excellent. 2021-10-11T15:52:48Z Comment by rhythian estonia isn't slavic! not at all- estonians are related to finns and hungarians. latvians and lithuanians i think are considered baltic slavs 2021-10-11T13:05:12Z
