Tankie mad
Tankies aren't Comrades
For context: I recently migrated to Tumblr and Im used to the State of Reddit where of course there where Tankie subs but it wasnt to hard too acually avoid them.
But Holy Fucking Fuck! The State of leftists Tags on this site is so fucking bad. Like you cant browse the Anticapitalist, communist or socialist Tags without seeing people praising the Soviets or China or just blatantly denying Genocides. Of course I am of the opinion that the left would be stronger If it wouldnt constantly start Infights over nothing. BUT defending Authoritarian regimes, denying Genocide, defending Imperialism(as long as it isnt USA), Warcrimes and the Overall supression of the working Class are under no circumstances part of leftist Values and we dont need these people to stand strong against the System.
If you still consider fighting side by side with these people I recommand you take a look at what happend to teh CNT-FAI during the Spanish civil war. Or the Anrchist/libertarian socialists that fought in the Russian Revolution. These people will stab you in the back or put you in to a Camp first chance they get.
If you are part of the LGBTQ community or Religious minority I recommand looking what is currently happenig to the Uyghurs in China or Russias war on the LGBTQ community.
Luckily most of these people are Keyboard warriors and dont engage with the real world.
But under any circumstances, TANKIES ARE NOT YOUR COMRADES!
Soviet animation recs. Part 1/???
@jackymedan asked for some recs and now nothing can stop me! I LOVE Soviet animation, it was the thing that shaped my childhood, formed my sense of humour and filled my head with its quotes forever.
Untill the 1980s very rare foreign cartoons were dubbed and shown in the USSR, so, the industry had to fill the gap. People older than me basically watched only Soviet cartoons with rare exceptions of Czechoslovakian ones and the like. I grew up in the 1990s and we had many foreign cartoons broadcasting as well, but the basis was Soviet.
When I grew up I rediscovered Soviet animation and its psychedelic side. Many artists restricted by the regime started making cartoons because they were not as censored as other arts. There’s a very well developped ‘dark side’ of Soviet animation, but let’s leave it for another time.
Today I’ll give you links to cartoons I loved as a child. Only those available with English subtitles, of course.
Winnie the Pooh - Part 1, 2, 3.1, 3.2
Based on tales by A.A. Milne, very cute and funny. No Christopher Robin or Tigger though. Maybe because it has only three episodes.
Crocodile Gena and Cheburashka - all parts in one video.
One of the best known Soviet cartoons. Story of an unlikely friendship happened in the Moscow zoo. Cheburashka is not based on a real animal. Vasiliy Livanov who voiced Crocodile Gena is also known as the actor who played Sherlock Holmes in the Soviet adaptation.
The Mystery of the Third Planet - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
A sci-fi adventure story about Alice, her father and his friend. I really need to rewatch this one. For reasons.
The Tale of Tsar Saltan (by Pushkin)
In Soviet Russia they didn’t have Disney. They had this. A very beautiful cartoon, one of many others.
Metro station in Tashkent, Uzbekistan (1978)
Tambov, 1950s
Soviet and russian mezzo-soprano singer Tamara Sinyavskaya and Soviet, Azerbaijani and Russian opera and pop singer Muslim Magomayev during their performance on the Little Blue Light, 1974
Control rooms, power stations, control panels—Soviet era mostly, and a few more modern ones.
I've been sitting on some printed Flames of War Soviets for a while, and decided to knock out the first team in my Hero Rifle Battalion
Not really focused on being mega historically accurate, just having fun with it. I've been painting a t-34 at the same time, but she's not quite done yet
Haven't been doing a whole lot lately, kinda getting married soon, started a new job, things have been a little busy, but I needed to do sooomething paint related
T-34 was promised, T-34 is delivered
I'm not sure I love the snow effect on the armor, but uh, it's not gonna come off soo
I keep throwing out lists I'll never play, but I'm fond of a 2 formation list for the double bubble of rerolls v4 flames of war gives you, so this will probably be a member of a standard T-34 battalion accompanying my hero rifle battalion
I've got some KV-1's too, but I think the sheer point efficacy of field guns in formation with the hero rifles is gonna have to work, since the KVs were just trundling along with the infantry anyways so the T-34s can get their zoomies out
Hero Soviet Rifle Platoon is complete
I cannot believe that this is only 5 points of guys... I'm not sure how I'm going to survive this. I'm not sure how anyone fields full sized battalions of these guys either!
The command elements, including kommissar
Flames of War definitely leans on Hollywoodisms and vibe with their rules, which can get a little annoying and dehumanizing, but the appeal of little guys in more traditional back and forth wargames is alluring and nostalgic to me
Has anyone here had any experience with Battlegroup? I've heard it's a good alternative that's more crunchy
45mm Soviet Anti Tank battery
In formation as part of the Hero Rifle Battalion, to provide basic light AT
They're going to be paired up with the in formation 82mm mortars and a pair of the 57mm guns for a decent mix. Honestly not a fan of the 76mm given the abundance of it in T-34s and KV-1s already
Sadly in late war I feel like these are almost a waste, better to drown cars and APC in PTRD or just bring real guns for big guys I think
Soviet 57mm Tank Killer Company
To think I'm less than half done with the non armor elements of the army... thank goodness I'm just 3d printing everything
I do appreciate the base to model ratio FOW infantry offers, so much modeling opportunity for fun little dioramas
