As I can remember previous video of their 'super' nuclear-powered missile proved to be a complete render, since prototype flew without any nuclear propulsion and therefore for a short time.

And their grievance is about abilities to generate PDFs from a template with a predefined presets. Clearly, other libraries will suit that task better.
It's all was described in secret addendum to that pact - two biggest socialist countries decided to split Eastern Europe and agreed on which countries to gobble.
Significant Soviet forces stayed there until 1946 - and they've tried to annex parts of Persia/Iran.
"Russia spied on foreign powers at last month’s G20 summit by giving delegations USB pen drives capable of downloading sensitive information from laptops" - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/104...
> “It’s not just apples and oranges,” said Kenneth Wollack, president of the National Democratic Institute. “It’s comparing someone who delivers lifesaving medicine to someone who brings deadly poison.”
I think this is right description for comparing US and Russian attempts.
... and Russia still managed to lose about 1/3 of their carrier's planes.
"President Reagan announced on September 16, 1983, that the Global Positioning System (GPS) would be made available for civilian use, free of charge, once completed in order to avert similar navigational errors in the future."

Edit: also the claim "most of our casualties on that day was friendly fire and accidental drowning" is pretty ridiculous.
Logistic and thought behind the D-Day is also mind-boggingly incomprehensible.
Can we stop glorifying Stalin's butchery, please? Yes, they've managed to lose 10 times more soldiers than British and US combined and suffered enormous loss of civilian lives.
But you know why? Because Communist leaders had no respect for human lives.
So, about starting the cold war.
USSR meddled in Poland's elections
USSR basically invaded Persia and tried to annex a part there.
USSR tried to force Turkey to gave up control over Bosphor Straits
USSR blockaded Berlin effectively putting people on verge of dying from hunger
... but somebody else started the cold war, absolutely out of the blue?
This is an international investigation team. I think it's credible enough.
So, mr skeptic, here's dozens of articles about investigation: https://www.om.nl/onderwerpen/mh17-crash/
They even had a separate presentation in Russian at the bottom of the page.
Russia invaded and annexed Crimea, sent mercenaries to Donbass and Syria, bombed hospitals in Syria, shot down MH-17, killed dozen of journalists domestically... but you've worried that one murder accusation is a 'very serious' incident?
Soviets introduced exit visa back in 1925, so probably that was a reason of that drop.
But it's only my opinion, probably.
Are you aware of their reluctancy to show true numbers? In 1946 they've declared the number of losses as 7 millions. 15 years later - 20 millions. 40 years later - 27 millions.
Now, 70 years later, they're talking about 40 millions.
Or Eisenhower memoirs? He mentions a quote from Zhukov:
> There are two kinds of mines; one is the personnel mine and the other is the vehicular mine. When we come to a mine field our infantry attacks exactly as if it were not there.
Thank you, good sir, I will drink myself out.
But before I indulge myself into drowning myself in beer, can you please elaborate, where you'd saw a 'pop history nonsense'?
They lost most of the munitions and equipment in first _months_ of war, and lost half of the factories as well.
So they had to rely on lend-lease from much-hated capitalists.
And yes, human waves (if you don't like other term) and general disregard for human lives were common in Soviet tactics. That's the reason for staggering losses (they still cannot get their number right, now there are talks that USSR losses were 2x higher, i.e. ~40 millions).
There's no protections from that kind of behaviour.
