    Mass death in the 1930s famines was not due to a lack of food, it was due to them not feeding the population. The Soviet Union was a major agricultural exporter. And when the Western economy declined in the depression and prices dropped, the regime decided to export MORE food.

    This is in no way a pro Soviet comment; BUT. I grew up in Corby, UK, which was a steel mining town. It was built from scratch around the very old village of Corby (Corbei in the Doomsday book, iirc.) Early houses were built near the works, and I went to school with kids who carried breathing aids because their lungs were f*cked by the pollution. Meanwhile successive Labour and Tory governments prevented other industries from moving into the area, so that there would be a plentiful supply of workers for the steelworks - they included my father and three of my brothers. And then they shut the whole thing down, leading to massive unemployment, property price crashes and, potentially, a ghost town. We don't need to look too far from home to see governments ill-treating workers.

It's an incredibly stunning and beautiful hotel, however it had an explosive title that blew the world record for the most bombed hotel in Europe. Also Bill Clinton stayed there to support the hotel and they dedicated the Clinton suite to/for him. It has an amazing history and is still the best hotel in Northern Ireland.

    Hi from Magnitororsk!
    youtube suggested me this video, no way I found it myself
    Well most of the video is true, I say it as a person who lives here.
    (...and also as a person who is apparently going to die here. I am the third generation living in severe polluted cities. I have too many congenital respiratory diseases, people here die from cancer more than from heart-related diseases, everyone has a relative who is ill with cancer or died from it)
    Well, Magnitogorsk is an interesting place for urban and industrial tourism, also we have beautiful lakes all around the city, but I'd never recommend anyone to live here or have children here.

Other local references include mention of a person "swallowing a yo-yo" in nearby Griffith, the Old Man being one of the fiercest "furnace fighters in northern Indiana" and that his obscenities were "hanging in space over Lake Michigan," a mention of the Indianapolis 500, and the line to Santa Claus "stretching all the way to Terre Haute."

    Why is the story of Soviet industrialization always framed as uniquely devastating when it was just as devastating basically everywhere in the world? One third of people in Britain died from TB in the first half of the 1800s, the result of industrialization. The industrialization of textiles in Britain and the US led to a massive increase in the population of slaves globally. Do those who died in mass famines not count as casualties of British industrialization if they were from Ireland, India, and Bangladesh? It's a real victory of propaganda that the Soviets doing the exact same things the British did to modernize is seen as an indictment against socialism, yet somehow says nothing about our own political and economic systems.

      I'm in Pittsburgh. Dad was a Steelworker in the 70's thru early 200s. US Steal had major Steel plants in Gary and Pittsburgh. Most of which were useless tech by the 80's and closed. Continuous Casting method of steel was the new tech and installed at Edgar Thompsan works in Braddock PA in 1990. Thus the ET plant is still operational to this day. Sadly US Steal abandoned Gary and I believe it was featured on 1 of those cable shows about what if humans stopped living - they focused on run down Gary Indiana and its hollowed out malls and buildings.

    A suggestion that ties in with Russia and the earlier video on the N-1 rocket, what about the Mir space station? I remember growing up and hearing of it and I clearly remember when it eventually re-entered the atmosphere.
    I believe there is a fascinating backstory behind the failure of the N-1 resulting in the Soviets “changing the goalpost” tonorbital stations, starting with the Salyut series (and more covert Almaz stations - which had canons!).
    This all lead up to Mir, and eventually the concept of modular space stations that was adopted for the ISS.
    I think there was a bit of an oops on Mir as well where a Progress supply craft hit the station and damaged some modules as well?
    Maybe an interesting topic!
