Out of Character: God, I hate the weeks running upto exams, especially if you're going at a rate of three turns per week.

[Bossy20000]

It seems Pravda is back in line! This is the true Soviet spirit! Never forget that the Party is Russia.

Out of character: I understand your feelings. I should be studying marketing now, but this is more fun! Oh well, in a few weeks the exams will be over and then it is HOLIDAYS! All to our Dacha's

[Dr. Nick]

In Character: PRAVDA will not forget your attack of this Holy Institution of the Proletariat Dictatorship.

Now, you're on THE LIST. Bahahahahahah!

*Blacklists Bossy20000*

[Bossy20000]

You are not the only one with a blacklist! You are number 37596 on mine! The day will come you will regret all your transgressions!

OR

We could forge an alliance: press and ideology could work together to form a substantial power in this country. We could bury the hatchett, and combine forces to sweep this country of anti-communist feelings. Together, we could lead this country to unknown heights, and conquer the entire world (which leaves only the rest of the universe then )

It's your call.

Comrade Michaelovitch

[conmcb25]

WOW!

Watching you two together on the Politburo would be a heck of a lot of fun!

However I think you should both work together to ensure a perfect workers paradise! (And defeat of the Nazi's of course!)

[Bossy20000]

Ok, comrade Awrencovitch, we could run together for Politburo! Me as Party Ideologist, you as Propaganda Secretary!

Comrades Awrencovtich and Michaelovitch for Politburo!

For a pure and better communism!

BTW Comrade Knapovitch, defeat of the Nazi's is certain, there was no doubt about that, there is no doubt about that and there will never doubt about that! The great Soviet Army only knows victories, we have never lost a battle, and who says else should be sent on vacation to the Gulag to think about this!

[Ben Kenobi]

Now all we need are some of the Iraqi Information Minister quotes.

A true believer in the cause.

Doubt, who said anything about doubt? You are assuming too much Comrade and you could get into big trouble for just thinking that word!

why? we are winning the war, we don´t need no quotes

[Dr. Nick]

I am Comrade Alsahafsky, for Marx's sake! Vladimir Lenin, don't people listen around here?

Now all we need are some of the Iraqi Information Minister quotes.

There are no fascist infiltrators in Pravda. The German pigs have not come within a hundred miles of the Propaganda Ministry. If the fascists show their faces, the might of Marx and Lenin will crush them. The Workers are all happy in the USSR, and they are supermen who can fulfill 150% production of their quotas!

Could you add your name to your signature somewhere comrade? Especially for us older comrades we have difficulty remembering the names of the all the loyal citizens!

Thanks!

[EZRhino]

Our initial assessment is that they will all die

[Bossy20000]

My apologies Comrade Alsahafsky.

Comrades Alsahafsky and Michaelovitch for Politburo!

For a pure and better Communism!

Out of character: This is getting real FUN!

Actual stavka order From WW2

ORDER OF STAVKA SUPREME HIGH COMMAND No. 0428
Moscow
17 November 1941
The experience of the past month of the war has shown that the German army is poorly equipped for war in winter conditions, does not have warm clothing and, having experienced enormous difficulties because of the onset of freezing weather, is hunkered down in populated areas in the
front-line zone. The impudently conceited enemy intended to pass the winter in the warm buildings of Moscow and Leningrad, but the actions of our forces have prevented this. German troops, having encountered the stubborn resistance of our units, have been forced over to the defense in broad sectors of the front and have taken up positions in populated areas along the roads to depths of from 2 to 30 kilometres to both sides.
Throughout this area German soldiers are living in towns and townships, villages, peasant huts, sheds, barns, and community bathhouses near the front line, and the headquarters of German units are quartering in larger populated areas and cities, hiding in basements and using them as cover
from our aviation and artillery. The German occupiers normally evict and drive away the Soviet populace from these locales.
Our urgent task, the resolution of which will largely condition the rapid defeat of the enemy and the dissipation of his army, is to deprive the German army of the possibility of settling into our villages and towns, to drive the German occupiers from all the populated areas into the cold fields, to smoke them out of all lodgings and warm housing and force them to freeze under the open sky.

Stavka of the Supreme High Command ORDERS:
1. To destroy and burn to the ground all populated areas in the rear of German forces to a distance of 40-60 kilometers in depth from the forward edge and 20-30 kilometres to the left and right of roads.For the destruction of populated areas in the indicated radius of actions, immediately commit aviation, broadly employ artillery and mortar fire, and send in teams of scouts, ski troops, and partisan-diversionary groups equipped with bottles with burning substance [Molotov cocktails-
J.Gebhardt], grenades, and explosive devices.
2. In each regiment create hunter teams of from 20 to 30 men each for
blowing up and burning populated areas in which enemy forces have taken
shelter. Select the bravest and strongest in the political-morale sense
fighting men, commanders, and political workers for these hunter teams.
Carefully explain to them the mission and significance of this measure for
defeating the German Army. Recommend for government decorations the
daredevils who distinguish themselves in courageous actions for the
destruction of populated areas in which the German forces are displaced.
3. During the forced withdrawal of our units in one or another sector,
take the Soviet population with you and be sure to destroy without
exception all populated areas so that the enemy cannot use them. For this
purpose first of all employ the hunter teams that have been designated in
regiments.
4. Military Councils of fronts and separate armies are systematically to
confirm how the missions for the destruction of populated areas are being
carried out in the above indicated radius from the front line. Every 3
days report to Stavka by separate summary how many and which populated
areas have been destroyed during the preceding days and by what means
these results were achieved.

Comrades Alsahafsky and Michaelovitch, I need you to look at the What to do at the Murmansk Front Poll.

Comrade Yopov has launched a poll without a banana option!

I am beginning to question his political purity.

Please investigate this situation and let us know how serious it really is!
