Just recently I've read this:
Largest grouping": Kyiv's army chief estimates Russian troops in Pokrovsk +++
According to Ukrainian sources, more than 111,000 Russian troops are in the Pokrovsk area. This was written by Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky during his visit to the front on Telegram. He calls this the largest Russian troop grouping along the entire 1,200-kilometer front line.

Ah, interesting.
Is Germany, the world's fourth-largest military, planning to do anything about it?
Nothing.
We trust your $Trump that Putler won't attack a NATO country as long as $Trump is POTUS. -

The Stalin book looks interesting. On a similar note, I read this one relatively recently (back to back with Obama's memoir, in fact lol):
I need to read Dostoevsky and more Russian literature in general at some point. I hear that
The Brothers Karamazov
is his true masterpiece, so I might start there.

yes, The Brothers Karamazov is Dostoevsky's magnum opus and the very last novel that he wrote. it's also his longest. so, maybe a better way getting into him would be something else, maybe? for many the gateway novel into Dostoevsky is
Crime and Punishment
or even
Notes from Underground
, but yeah, if you feel like you wanna start right away with
the
masterpiece and milestone of Russian literature where Dostoevsky wrapped up his entire body of work, then Karamazov it is, i guess. -

Yeah, I've heard a lot about
Notes from the Underground
too and it apparently served as an inspiration for some other cool things I like. So that may be a good suggestion. My entire knowledge of 19th century Russian literature is limited to Kropotkin and some of Tolstoy's later theological works
But Bulgakov's
The Master and Margarita
is in my all-time top ten, so I'm sure I'll be into that stuff when I finally get around to it.

Russian literature is my fav, honestly and i've made it my mission to read literally everything Pushkin, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy have written in my lifetime lol i really want to delve into other Russian writers' work as well, like Turgenev, Chekhov and yes, also Bulgakov, so i really have a lot left to do then.
