Evil Empire

Dictator Putin continues what Dictator Stalin started. Some years ago Russia did start new narrative about Finnish war crimes in WW2. Claims about concentration camps and genocide. All of this aiming just to justify military actions towards Finland. And just for the record, those are just lies, without any evidence. Even straight after WW2, Soviet union prosecutor committee did not find war crimes. On the contrary they did prove that there was not any.   Fi war trials Then few war crimes in WW2 committed by Soviet union, but as usual never admitted by Soviet Union even all hard facts existing. Seitajärvi Elisenvaara After war Kaleva Basically allies (Britain, USA and etc..) in WW2 just helped 1 evil empire to crush another one. It is so amazing when Russia is by the far largest country in the world, and still they just can't fit within their borders, they always need to have war somewhere.  Here excellent video by former Finnish Intelligence officer, explaining why Russia will...

The Winter War between Finland and Soviet Union in 1939-1940 lasted for 105 days. It was hard and bitter fighting in freezing cold. Soviet Union official history does want to forget it due to their Phyrric victory. And mostly they remember the great patriotic war (WW2 against Germany) Still there is some books in Russia written about winter war from ordinary infantry man point of view. This book is called Division of death. It's written by Anatoli Gordijenko and it's based on N.I. Klimonov's diaries. He did serve in 18th infantry division 18th division attacked to Finland, but it was encircled at Lemetti area. After that encirclements continued and was divided to 9 different rings. After that started 3 months long bitter fighting in -40 degrees celsius. Finns did have superior tactics but lack of materials and russians did have artillery, tanks etc... But they were stuck and their planning and leadership was quite incompetent. It was estimated that 15000 Russian sol...

History of WW2 FPS games

There is huge amount of WW2 FPS games. Most famous series are Battlefield, Medal of honor, Call of Duty, Wolfenstein, Brothers in arms and many others. Some of them are more arcade type like COD and some more realistic or tactical like BF. So your choice of game depends which kind of type of playing you like. In my case first one was legendary Castle Wolfenstein with C-64. It was released in 1981. Castle Wolfenstein Then Wolfenstein 3D was released in 1992, and it did set the foundation for all upcoming FPS games for years. Wolfenstein 3D Of course nowadays games are totally in another level with realism and graphics. And game series usually also go to another historical areas like WW1, Vietnam war or in future with Star Wars type of games. But it seems that it goes in cycles and they always return to WW2. Like latest BF V in 2018 or COD WW2 2017. Nowadays my absolute favor is Battlefield 1. If you play FPS games, this one you have to test and have fun!
