Finally strikes expired. 2 of my vids got striked all the sudden. They gave me 'Bad status' for the channel, and removed some of features. So I had to wait.
Another debate between Zhirinovsky and moron democrat sellout from 1990's Nadezhdin. This one is famous for the fight Zhirinovsky started. The subject was 'Constitution'.

H – Host

MIPT – Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology

RSFSR - Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic
Remarks:
1. Oohh… We haven’t even started yet, and you can already tell what this Nadezhdin guy is all about, after you read about this party. Actually ‘Righteous Cause’ would be more accurate, but w/e. Just read WP page and see what people were involved, and what other parties it’s related to.
2. He actually said ‘income is 40.000 people’, instead of ‘40.000 rubles’. lmao
3. Actually there was. And even bigger. The difference is that in Russian Empire, rich people didn’t have plans to rob as much as they can, and run from the country with all the money. Rich elites were patriotic, they were dragging poor people behind them, pulling them, bringing them up. First, the process was really slow. But in the end of XIX century, XX century (up to 1917), it picked up the pace, and Russian Empire became one of the quickest developing and industrializing world superpowers.
4. This is actually true. Russian car makers went to the gov/t and complained, that demand for Russian cars decreased, and people are buying foreign cars. So, instead of trying to make better cars, they increased the tax for importing, and set outrageous standards.
5. ‘To the point’… Classic. Start an argument on an irrelevant subject, and if you can’t win it, change the subject and accuse the other guy for not speaking on the actual subject.
6. I have no idea what the hell is he talking about…
7. Bring something ‘on a plate with light-blue bordure’ – an interesting expression, which means to make all the preparations, or complete something, for the other guy to come and take it with zero effort. If you know equivalent saying in English, please let me know in the comments below. I’d love to know.
8. Something/someone ‘cries for sth/so’ – it’s an expression which means that sth/so is missing sth/so a lot, or that 2 things should have came together long ago. In this case – means that they should have been put in prison long ago. (You know what to do.)
9. In Russian ‘nadezhda’ – means ‘hope’. In English ‘Nadezhdin’ (probably fake name) would maybe sound like ‘Hoper’. ‘Bez’ – is an addition for words, or it can be a word on its own. It means ‘without’.
10. Read more about who Speransky was here:
11. Read more about what ‘Union of October 17’ is, here:
12. Um… No… We don’t understand wtf are you talking about.
13. Hypocrisy has no limits with these people. Currently, they are all screaming their guts out, about Russia spending too much money on the army which we allegedly don’t need. And that this money should better go to pensioners and medicine, education, etc. That these branches don’t get enough, because we spend too much on the army.
14. Look at that laugh. This is a laugh of a person who has no respect for anything related to his country.
15. Um… WE didn’t start it. YOU started it.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Joseph Stalin (born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili; 18 December 1878 – 5 March 1953) was a Soviet revolutionary and politician of Georgian ethnicity. He ruled the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953, holding the titles of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1952 and the nation's Premier from 1941 to 1953. Initially presiding over an oligarchic one-party system that governed by plurality, he became the de facto dictator of the Soviet Union by the 1930s. Ideologically committed to the Leninist interpretation of Marxism, Stalin helped to formalise these ideas as Marxism–Leninism, while his own policies became known as Stalinism.
Born to a poor family in Gori, Russian Empire (now Georgia), Stalin began his revolutionary career by joining the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party as a youth. He edited the party's newspaper, Pravda, and raised funds for Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik faction via robberies, kidnappings, and protection rackets. Repeatedly arrested, he underwent several internal exiles. After the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia during the 1917 October Revolution, Stalin joined the party's governing Politburo, where he was instrumental in overseeing the Soviet Union's establishment in 1922. As Lenin fell ill and then died in 1924, Stalin assumed leadership over the country. During Stalin's rule, Socialism in One Country became a central tenet of the party's dogma, and Lenin's New Economic Policy was replaced with a centralized command economy. Under the Five-Year Plan system, the country underwent collectivisation and rapid industrialization but experienced significant disruptions in food production that contributed to the famine of 1932–33. To eradicate those regarded as enemies of the working class, Stalin instituted the Great Purge, in which over a million were imprisoned and at least 700,000 executed between 1934 and 1939.
Stalin's government promoted Marxism–Leninism abroad through the Communist International and supported anti-fascist movements throughout Europe during the 1930s, particularly in the Spanish Civil War. In 1939, it signed a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany, resulting in their joint invasion of Poland. Germany ended the pact by invading the Soviet Union in 1941. Despite initial setbacks, the Soviet Red Army repelled the German incursion and captured Berlin in 1945, ending World War II in Europe. The Soviets annexed the Baltic states and helped establish Soviet-aligned governments throughout Central and Eastern Europe, China and North Korea. The Soviet Union and the United States emerged from the war as the two world superpowers. Tensions arose between the Soviet-backed Eastern Bloc and U.S.-backed Western Bloc which became known as the Cold War. Stalin led his country through its post-war reconstruction, during which it developed a nuclear weapon in 1949. In these years, the country experienced another major famine and an anti-semitic campaign peaking in the Doctors' plot. Stalin died in 1953 and was eventually succeeded by Nikita Khrushchev, who denounced his predecessor and initiated a de-Stalinisation process throughout Soviet society.
Widely considered one of the 20th century's most significant figures, Stalin was the subject of a pervasive personality cult within the international Marxist–Leninist movement, for whom Stalin was a champion of socialism and the working class. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Stalin has retained popularity in Russia and Georgia as a victorious wartime leader who established the Soviet Union as a major world power. Conversely, his totalitarian government has been widely condemned for overseeing mass repressions, ethnic cleansing, hundreds of thousands of executions, and famines which caused the deaths of millions.
