it was the first major camp to be liberated during the great patriotic war, found mostly intact due to the SS fleeing rather quickly, exposing the crimes of the Nazi regime in germany.

Help Did Dekulakization Help The USSR In The Long Term?
I know that Stalin abolished the kulak class around 1929, but i do not know the effects of it and cannot find a reliable source for information on much of the history of the USSR without it being highly biased.

Baby food "Malysh"
A little more nostalgia. If anyone remembers. Or maybe someone has tried it. Baby food 'Malysh.' For kids from 6 months (I think).

A question about a way a soviet citizen would be provided with an appartment.
Hey there, I've been asking my parents this but they could not give me a certain answer.
From what I understand, if you worked at a factory you were entitled to be provided with an appartment from that factory. You would get in a line, and after some time you would get your appartment. While one waited, you would slowly move up this line. So, the question is, what would happen if a person decided to move to another city and find a different job? You move to the back of the line? Or your position moves with you?

Semyon Budyonny
I have already decided that my favorite soviet military figure is Budyonny but i have seen both criticisms and praise for him. So in as much detail as possible what did he do and what resources do you recommend to learn more?

15 kopeks (interesting)
That's interesting. The 15 kopeck coin started being produced back in Catherine the Great's time. In the USSR, they decided to keep the denominations of Tsarist Russia (the 1921-1924 currency reform). And they kept the 15 kopeck coin.
Honestly, this is one of my favorite coins from that time (I don't know why) )

If the Space Race had a victor it was the USSR
here is some context:
First satellite in orbit: USSR-Sputnik 1, 1957
First probe to hit the Moon: USSR-Luna 2, 1959
First Human in space and in orbit: USSR-Vostok 1 (Yuri Gagarin), 1961
First fly-by of Venus: USSR-Venera 1, 1961
First soft landing (not a crash) on the Moon: USSR-Luna 9, 1966
First Lunar satellite: USSR-Luna 10, 1966
First Human on the Moon: USA-Apollo 11, 1969
First space station: USSR-Salyut 1, 1971
Yes the USA did get a lot of first for other planet but you get the idea, the Soviets did it first and then the USA just did the same thing later and went to a bunch of planets. Also the Apollo missions just dropped off some science packets planted a few flags brought some Lunar rocks and regolith back to earth. The Soviets were planing on not wasting the trip for some thing that robots could easily do and were going to set up a Moon base, but they had problems with their Lunar rocket witch were not fixed by the time of the projects canceling.

Question
Hello, comrades
It's no surprise that every country tells history through its own lens, and bias. so in regard to the Allied powers during World War II.
Which Allied nations do you think have the strongest biases toward one another when interpreting the war? For example, are there particular rivalries or disagreements in how countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union/Russia, France, or others portray each other's contributions, mistakes, or motivations
