    Could you imagine that there could be a guy from Siberia who consider this as American myth? What a heretic!!! Burn him on a stick!!!
    Perhaps it’s only my ignorance, but I don’t know a single German scientist (captured during the WW2 German scientist, not who was borned in SU, because many Germans lived/live today in Russia and actually Germany gave a plenty of brilliant scientists in all fields who advanced Russian/Soviet science) who participated in Soviet space program.
    I’ll be very grateful if you’ll educate me and give me an example.

      Oh, thank you very much to pointing such silly error. Keep bashing my pathetic English it’s very useful actually.
      Not at all.
      You have another explanation for such whining behavior? Interesting...what is? Let me guess...I bash your country, spreading bs theories of Polish “yellow press” for your own sake, right? To create a proper image for you guys…It’s all about your own sake.

      • I don't think any of the Germans went over to the SU. The German rocketeers sought out American troops in order to surrender directly to them rather than falling into Soviet hands. From NASA...

        Before the Allied capture of the V-2 rocket complex, von Braun engineered the surrender of 500 of his top rocket scientists, along with plans and test vehicles, to the Americans. For fifteen years after World War II, von Braun would work with the United States army in the development of ballistic missiles. As part of a military operation called Project Paperclip, he and his "rocket team" were scooped up from defeated Germany and sent to America where they were installed at Fort Bliss, Texas. There they worked on rockets for the United States army, launching them at White Sands Proving Ground, New Mexico. In 1950 von Braun's team moved to the Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, Alabama, where they built the Army's Jupiter ballistic missile.

        However, the first SU rocket was V2-based. So it could be said that the SU and US space efforts were both based on Nazi technology.

        • Interesting, I saw a movie (A Soviet propaganda of course) about Korolev and Soviet space program. In the movie he said to Stalin: Americans took German scientists and plans, if we’ll go the same way we will have the same V-2, but much later. Instead of this I suggest we should go our own way. Let me try.


          But of course it’s propaganda?

          I’m not a rocket scientist so it’s hard for me to argue about matches in rocket design. But if you have any good link about this, I’ll appreciate this.

          • Well, I don't know if this is a "good link", but here goes...

            International Solar Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) historical material, hosted by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Heliophysics Division of the Sciences and Exploration Directorate in Greenbelt Maryland USA


            Both the US and the USSR concentrated on liquid-fueled rockets. The US captured a fair number of usable V2s, as well as the German rocket-design team headed by Wernher von Braun, who soon took a key role in the development of US missiles. The USSR also captured V2 engines, and Russian rocket designers, headed by Valentin Glushko and Sergei Korolev ("Koralyov") duplicated those rockets and then went on to develop their own, more powerful designs.

            • Well, there is not so much info actually.
              However:
              “The USSR also captured V2 engines, and Russian rocket designers, headed by Valentin Glushko and Sergei Korolev ("Koralyov") duplicated those rockets and then went on to develop their own, more powerful designs. “

              I guess it’s true. It would be stupid not to study workable examples, but it says- “to develop their own, more powerful designs.” Which matches with movie I’ve seen. As long as I wouldn’t find good prove that Soviets copied V-2, I don’t see why I should believe that first Soviet rocket was the copy of V-2.

              • Well, according to several sources, the R-1 was just a production design of the V2.



                That link does reference German rocket engineers going over to the Soviets.

                  There's no need to debate a plain fact.

                  Judging by your statement, my avatar is furfilling its purpose :P
                  Judging by my statement, you sir are an idiot who is proud of having Stalin in his avatar.

                  Yes. One Russian fallacy in particular is recognizing the independance of Lithuania. Look at what a pitiful excuse of a country you have. Of course, with your hate-mongering people, you deserve it.
                  Huh? A Russian calling Lithuania a pitiful excuse for a country? Get some help. Or visit Lithuania.

                  And a 'fallacy' in English means a false statement, so you should read more english textbooks.

                  I'm flattered that I have such an honour
                  You have a warped sense of honor. It is not surprising, though.

                  YOU of all people judging Serb...
                  Huh?

                  I assume your referring to my comment about the pathetic Polish military? Maybe I should refrain from commenting on it and focus on the even-more-pathetic Lithuanian military?
                  You assume wrong. And yes, please indulge me in your deep insights about our military.

                          Of course. It must be much worse.

                          All who broke rules and commit crimes face the military tribunal


                          and receive punishment in accordance with laws of our country. The guys you defend don’t know moral principles. They are bloody murders. In accordance with their fanatical beliefs the many non-believers they slain, the better. And they don’t care who are those non-believer- children, women or elders. There is no such thing for them as war related crime, because their normal way how they fight wars are total crime by definition.
                          You are biased prejudiced.

                          I wasn’t. My best friend was. I prefer to trust him, but to be honest he don’t talk much about this.
                          Perhaps it is you guys who never saw videos HOW those bastards torture their victims. Cute-off throat is damn lucky way to escape all kinds of sufferings they offer. I guess even nazi would feel shocked if they saw such executions. This is not the type of show, which people with heart problems should see. I saw a couple of edited versions where most notorious moments were cencored. It’s really notorious to see laughing, “mans” who beating and torturing tied victims, then cut their victims fingers and then cut throat or cut off heads. They liked to make such videos as prove of their intentions for future victims of kidnap and as prove for their masters that they eliminated ordered victim (they stole many high ranked Russian military and civilian officials).
                          Go ahead defend them, freedom lover. They tortued your countrymans as well as many other foreigners too.
                          Again, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps some... But not all,
                          probably not most. Your army is said to do exactly the same.

                          Which UN observers? As for Russian info…fine you prefer to trust to murders, hostage takers and terrorists, but not in any case to Russians. Fine it talks much about degree of trust between West and us. Partially it’s our own fault, but I still don’t see how ony one could trust to people who proved themselves that they are terrorists, than to government of democratically country.
                          So why don't You let Tchechenia free and evacuate everyone that doesn't want to live there?
                          Anyway, Dudajew wasn't at all religiously biased.
                          It's new generation that is. That You created.

                          Disappearance could be explained pretty easy. There was SLAVERY in Tchechnya for three years of their independence. They stole thousands of citizens of Russian Federation from thousand miles away from Chechnya. What makes you think that they didn’t used locals as slaves?
                          Perhaps because they are Tchechenians too, because they disappear when your army calls for them, because
                          when -if- they come back, they tell stories about Russian
                          army, not slavers, and if it was about slaves, who needs a crippled slave? WHy would they cripple their own fellowmen, or even their own posessity?

                          How do you explained that during three years of their independence more Chechens fled from Chechnya, from Maskhadov’s Vahhabite regime, than during both wars when there was active military actions, gunfire, explosions, bombardments, etc?
                          That's your info.
                          Anyway, Tchechenia never had a chance to live in peace in last years.

                          As for painting Chechen PEOPLE as bandits, you perfectly know that I mean actual bandits, regardless of nationality, not entire people. Among Chechens, in their ‘regiments” also fought mercenaries from Arab countries, Baltic States, Ukraine and even Russians. I don’t care about their nationality, they are sick sadists who committed notorious crimes, btw against Chechen people too.
                          Perhaps. But You treat everyone that fights for freedom of Tchechenia this way.

                          Hattab- read very carefully now- the STUDENT and emissary of who do you think? Osama bin Laden. No sh!tting and no kidding HIS STUDENT, a friend and comrade in belief and Jihad. (Eliminated now)
                          Konajacy brzytwy sie chwyta.
                          If they experienced no help from anyone, they did accept help from people as Hattab.


                          but more in accordance with their corrupted beliefs and their sick Sharia law such thing as torturing of nonbeliever counts as normal thing, I will answer the second guys.
                          Again, don't offend shari'a.

                          president Maskhadov admitted that he ordered to took hostages in Nord-Ost)
                          Even if that would be true, and I do not believe it, and probably it is a lie of your services, tell me what are they supposed to do?

                          In accordance with your logic ObL is right too, because it’s obvious that he is MUCH weaker then USA.
                          Usama-bn-Laadin isn't a state. And He attacked USA,
                          not the other way round.

                          What a pathetic bullsh!t.
                          When we attacked Chechnya?
                          Are you blind as dog on your avatar?
                          Esp for you time line:
                          1996 a peace treaty signed between Maskhadov and security secretary of RF Lebed. The same year ALL military and police forces WITHDRAWN from Chechnya. They won. They could live like they want, Ralph we didn’t have even a small thumb in Chechnya during this period for three years they were ABSOLUTELY and TOTALLY uncontrolled by Moscow. They lived by their own Sharia law (absolutely different from Russian laws, we don’t have such things as physical punishments, amputations, stone to death or cut throat as punishment for crimes in our laws) had their own government (absolutely different from Russian type. I mean they had dictatorship, while we elect our president), flag, army and all attributes of independence. Their emissaries were and still are in many countries of the world, seating in their embassies. Their so-called president kissed with Margaret Thatcher and had meetings many high ranked officials of western countries, including USA of course. They had slavery, while we abolished it centuries ago, etc. They were free to do everything they wish. We could control them.
                          During those three years in Russia were about 2000 explosions, today 400 are 100% to be terrorists attack- their attacks. Next, they had several raids on Russian cities with capture of hostages like with pregnant woman and children as I mentioned above. Next, in 1999 here were several building explosions in Russian cities, two in Moscow, hundreds of people died.
                          Only for this we had right to fight them, BECAUSE by ALL POSSIBLE STANDARTS THIS CALLS A DECLARATION OF WAR.
                          Yet, You didn't manage to prove to the world that it was all inscited of Tchechen gouverment.

                          But those guys went further, in 1999 THEY INVADED Dagestan, a neighbor Russian republic. They started to expand and launched an invasion lead PERSONALY by their so-called defense minister- Basyev, and of course by ObL student Hattab
                          Now explain to me please WHY do you think WE attacked them?
                          From what I know, Tchechen gouverment cut off from this.

                          You repeat this joke so many times that it’s hard to determinate when you are joking and where you aren’t.
                          Your last offer was iirc- Russia gives Kaliningrad to Poland. Poland graciously let Russians to have St. Petersburg.
                          Did I? A mistake. Petersburg should be Finnish.

                          but you piss off your pants when you’ve realized that I could inform Apolyton society about all your “jokes” and brilliant plans and bought this bluff as baby boy

                          I do not recall.

                          But they will... When I realise them...
                          Wait... they won't.

                          Right now, Novgorod Republic leading by Serb is going to erase sad kingdom of traitors of Slavic brotherhood from the map, after I’ll erase your Lithuanian cousins of course (Hi Saras). In my EU2 game of course.
                          Yet, in my game, Russia was limiteb by my Venetians to Petersburg and Wlodzimierz only. I would like to finish it off, but have no time. China is more important.
                          But if You keep on making me angry...

                          Consider this, as my little revenge. Btw, your sad kingdom was burned twice in my MTW games. I hope you feel much better now. I believe it was my duty to inform you about those events
                          Last note, Polish retainers sucks, as well as Lithuanian woodsmen, Boyars rules.
                          Next game I'll play as Denmark I think. Be sure that I will conquer your drunken cities anyway.

                          Or I'll play Russia and make sure I'll loose.

                          You have another explanation for such whining behavior? Interesting...what is? Let me guess...I bash your country, spreading bs theories of Polish “yellow press” for your own sake, right? To create a proper image for you guys…It’s all about your own sake.
                          It is pure and true information.
