Whatever system will exist in the future, I only hope it will not resemble the Matrix. Even Brezhnev"s communism or early capitalism are better than that.

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [239]
Recently I saw a movie about Leonid Brezhnev and his colleagues and in this movie Leonid Brezhnev tells such a joke:
Some older relative (possibly a parent) came to visit Leonid in his residence and walking through large premises sees all the luxurious furniture, carpets and Bohemian glass. Then tells troubled:
"Leonid, and what are you going to do when the Communists will come to power?.."
Well..that would mean that a bourgeois elite had developed already right under the communists nose....

Before Gorbachev it wasn't easy to possess luxury things openly, especially an imported once. There were few luxury foreign cars in entire country. After Gorbachev the elites privatized the factories and stores and started to ride Mercedes and BMW, go for vocation on Cannes, etc. Much more open, easy lifestyle.

There are still disputes whether Gorbachev did something against the system. Some people claim he just legalized de jure something that already existed de facto. Such as luxuries, private property, inherited privileges, etc... Or fulfilled dream of elite majority about such legalization.
Gorbatschov was a historical stroke of luck, totally atypical for the system...

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]
I'm not sure fertility can be explained in measures of wealth only. Eastern Europe is poor but has low fertility rates. Rather we can tell that high fertility rates are more typical to agrarian and patriarchal civilizations or those who started to get industrial only recently. In industrial and postindustrial countries majority of people refused from having more than one child not for reason of been too rich, but for reason of been too poor. Rising children became much more expensive now than 100 - 70 years ago and problems with employment much bigger. People need to study too long. I wonder whether financial incentives can change that.

Poland and Hungary have fertility rates well below self replacement level. But it is interesting whether low fertility rates among native Europeans could be corrected with help of financial incentives only. If yes, what would be a sufficient payment for the each second child? 300.000 Euros? Half-a-million???
encouraging the higher iq native Europeans to have more kids like they do in Hungary and Poland.

Yes, the downfall of an absolute monarchy in Russia was rather inevitable, but Bolsheviks in power and citizenship war in Russia is a different thing.
Is it really always bad idea? Do you think, for example, that representatives of different ethnic European cultures cannot live together and cooperate efficiently? For example Poles, Germans, Ukrainians, Italians, Greeks?

How large impact, do you think, the population loss that Poland and Ukraine experienced in 20-th century had on the development of this countries? First of all, I mean looses in WWI, Russian Citizenship War, Russian-Polish War of 1920, Holodomor in Ukraine, WWII and also numerous immigration out of these countries? Can we tell that both countries lost many of its best people?

This prominent discovery has more relation to nuclear fission rather than nuclear power. In modern English word nuclear power is used for something perfectly controllable like nuclear power plants. If I no make mistake the first regularly operating nuclear power plant was built in Russia.

If Germans feel they lack territory it could be fixed easily. Ukraine has larger territory than Germany, yet only 1/2 of German population. Propose unification to Ukrainians. Then buy property in Ukraine. But hurry to do it for a cheap price because after unification prices in Ukraine may skyrocket. (I hope this proposition will not be taken serious enough to regard it a threat to Ukraine national security).
My grandmother is from Silesia. They had a huge house with garden and fields there.

I'm not sure this comparison is fair. In 1989 Ukraine would be in top 10 world countries by nominal GDP if counted as a separate country. Ukraine had developed agriculture, manufacturing and science.
Even now Ukraine serially produces such planes, for example.

I've heard somewhere that Putin paid out 1 billion of USD to Katyn victims relatives as compensation. Is it true or not?
Ha ha imagine if Sudan merges with Uganda!

Meanwhile Mercedes-Benz opens a new factory in Russia. 250 mln. Euro investment will create 1000 jobs. The factory will produce cars and vans for local market. I think there is an alternative for reparations - an economic cooperation. Germans will continue to build factories in Central Europe and Russia and everyone will be happy!
