Profit could not have possibly motivated the Soviets to accelerate their industrial output. What motivated them was need, specifically the need to prepare theirselves for the upcoming anticommunist reinvasion.

Great Recession, for those who are wondering.

From which book is that table, I've seen this book mentioned before but I forgot the name

Thank you so much, I've seen this too, I'm trying to get some information on the editor and the people who wrote this, to try to fend off some criticism when I show it to other people, but not being that successful at it

That's a bit tricky to track down for sure.

Absolutely, and the info looks solid but it's all just stated, couldn't find one mention of the sources, the editor is a peculiar figure, that some claim to be a USSR spy(shocker) and crazily enough is the father Ghislaine Maxwell one of the main accomplices of Jeffrey fucking Epstein, researching this book has been a trip and a half

That's pretty wild, it's incredible the stuff you find once you start digging.

Thank you comrade, I was pretty familiar with the Epstein case, one true crime youtube channel I follow covered it in great detail, so when I found that this guy who edited this book was father of Ghislane Maxwell I nearly lost my shit, like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Tanks. Lots and lots of T-34s.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Actually, those didn't start getting produced till the 1940s, but the industrial capacity to allow for production of tanks was laid during these years.
