Sergey Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 RichieC,Excellent collection. It will be very interesting and at a forum WWII
RichieC Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 ... и более интересные темы, типа этого здесь, уважаемого Серге́й может быть "хорошей вещью".You may start it. Use my images if you like (they hold my watermark), and I am certain Natalia and possibly some others will follow through in creation of a such a theme. Perhaps we will be able to add the results here?
Sergey Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Certainly many good and interesting themes at this forum. It is difficult to me to present what quantity of documents and documentary photographs has left abroad the USSR.Many photos and themes of photos became the big rarity in Russia. Therefore your collection of subjects and documents from Russia is worthy respect.It causes interest and a question. In the world there is a negative opinion on the Soviet Russia. And probably not so friendship to the Russian history. Why this part of a world history is interesting to you, why you collect it.Probably I have badly expressed the ideas. It is difficult to me to express it. And still why the Russian history. With deep respect Sergey
Belaruski Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Interesting question Sergey. I'm worried that this may lead to s political discussion, which is rarely a good thing on the internet! However I think that most here collect out of respect for the people and what they achieved.To quote Alexander Lukashenko "The Soviet Union, despite all mistakes and blunders of its leaders was the source of hope and support for many states and peoples". And for me, that just about sums it up.

RichieC Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I think that most here collect out of respect for the people and what they achieved.Yes, exactly. Like the history of the other allies, who endured trying hardships, the history and the hardships endured by the Russian people were indeed amazingly heroic, and extremely interesting to me. This passionate interest began at a young age for me...
Ed_Haynes Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Two. If not of the same person, from the same family.
NavyFCO Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Not to let out anyone's secrets, but if anyone is interested in purchasing early buds, a Soviet dealer (ahem... DougD) just got in one of the largest budyonovka collections in the United States to sell... Just heard that through the grapevine if anyone is interested. Dave

NavyFCO Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Yes, word has he has some nice ones . . . maybe one less now . . . . His website was finally updated. I don't think I've seen as many RCW buds assembled in one place - even having been to most of the big Russian military museums!!! Totally jaw-dropping stuff. If you're interested, check out: www.sovietgenerals.comDave
