I'm wondering if it might be the wife. With an illustrious pedigree like that we'd be flattered for her to join this band of brothers (and sisters)

Her grandfather, a political Commissar according to Kingsley, was at the highest rung of party regard. It was those brave people (the Germans shot them summarily) who rose in the Komsomol, trained, fought and died as soldiers and inspired the troops Their main role, however, was to keep an eye on the Officer class in battle. I mean many officers came from what was formerly the bourgeoisie and you couldn't give a meathead like Jim Molam free rein could you? They were able, if necessary to arrest Commanders. Colonel Kingsley and Captain Izzy wouldn't have made it to 1945.

So Ludmilla, Dascha, Katerina ...whatever....come out of that closet, you are most welcome to join in with what is a small but growing cadre of independent thinkers. (No, no not Heckle and Jeckle you silly girl).[/QUOTE]

Nope not My Wife's as she had more than enough of Communism - every year at School and Even University there were compulsory subjects each year - History of the Soviet Union and Theory of Marxism–Leninism plus basic Military Training in the last two years of School and in University.

Ludmilla is my Wife's Mother's name and Vladimir her Father's why her middle name is Vladimirovna

Yes Boris Vasilevich Sharapova - went through all the various Soviet Youth Groups - Little Octobrists , Young Pioneers and lastly Komsomol ( All-Union Leninist Young Communist League ) and if you showed potential of any kind you could advance in the party which obviously he did.

No Dasha but there is a Sasha ( Alexander or Alexandra)

Hey Sally, they call me Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov. Why don't you invite me for dinner?

If it was Churchill who said "We will fight them on the beaches and on the landing fields ....we shall never surrender", MacArthur who promised "I shall return" and Bush (W) who declared "Mission accomplished", who said? "First, I will deal with the Reds!" - it was Eddie Charlton of course.

Indeed, the plot does thicken. I don't buy the story that Sascha, the wife, is on board. What I'm thinking (and only because of prior experience with this man), is a poor wife browbeaten into submission by a controller, who, when not slagging off at her Soviet education (we had 60 in a class here in the 50s), is insisting on "my way or the highway darlin'. You need to stop thinking independently and repeat what I say. I don't care if you've heard it a million times and you think it doesn't make sense. And believe me I haven't forgotten that derisive giggling on the phone with your Russian friends. They have to go by the way, I have spoken! And don't answer back.

Now there's a real Boogie Man for ya.

What plot? You lost the plot long ago, mate.

Brilliant Voods but I doubt that either H or J will get the Raskolnikov reference (bit too highbrow for the boys I'm afraid).

Invitation to dinner? Do you see Kingsley as an Alyona, the pawnbroker? Keeping in mind that the Dean already has a contract out of course.

[King Salvo]

Never Mind Comrade Paddo your dream of becoming some what of a Pavel Pavolovich Antipov type was never going to happen so all that is left for you now in your twilight years is to clog up a footy club supporters site with your incessant anti west/capitalist propaganda.

[Rocky Rhodes]

This looks like a thread that needs a heavy dose of Rocky to shake up the sheeples...may i play? Please.....

So much Lol's already in here...the woke Salvotard our resident Commie pretending to be against Communism...haha....doesn't get any funnier than that..

Women's rights, equal rights etc is straight from the Stalin's Communist manifesto...FACT

[Rocky Rhodes]

hypothetical....time for some rational radical free thought.

Let's say another so called super power "China" were at war with Australia and our country was invaded.

Now would our premier sports i.e NRL & AFL for example still be played during the war???

No way most would say, right?

So can anyone please tell me why the Ukraine Premier League 2022–23 which began 23 Aug 2022 is been played?

All over the country of Ukraine too....

So the Russians are allegedly bombing school children and hospitals, civilians etc etc but they won't touch or bomb football players?

Anyone care the explain???

It's a general discussion section on a footy fan site. Is that a bad thing or should we all nominate our fave movies or songs ad nauseum. The planners very wisely included Off Topic, it promotes familiarity and it's interesting to consider our diversity as well. Things that don't come up on the game threads.

I don't have any dream Kingsley, but I have a memory. A memory of my cousins neighbour, a young man with young family settling into a post war government housing project - Greenacre. The Menzies inspired Communist Party ban referndum had failed but the government carried on as though it had not. Mr. Atkins the well liked neighbour who had a minor role in the Party had a government car parked regularly outsde his house. They demonised him to the neighbours.

We'd gasp if we saw a similar Mr. Atkins situation on one of those Polish/ East Germany movies.

Rocky, you're a revelation boy. And arrived just in the nick. I see a well needed new direction in your approach and subject matter. I look forward to taking up some of the issues.
