As I know there is a thing named Arduino. Also, there is a thing named Arduino GSM shield. Basically it means that it's possible to make a primitive communication device with almost totally user-controlled code. (Almost - because the GSM shield has a firmware in it, but it's interface can be controlled). You can use it to make an encrypted communication between parties but unfortunately it doesn't save you from collecting metadata; it still needs a solution (Such as "Diverter" in good old days of blueboxing).

In superconducting closet?

You may grow the equals. As a result you will not grow bright engineers capable of building a new American Nuclear bomb capable of destroying Commie Ruskies.Being a Commie Ruskie I would be quite glad. And I would be doubleplusglad since it would be the quintessence of Communism in separately taken USA.

Your statement is not politically correct. In Russia you might get 100 hours of social works just for publishing the idea that there is a brainless social group. I think in USA the situation is not much different.

... in 1960-th there was a toy - a metal constructor. It was a big box full of different plates, axes, wheels, nuts, bolts a.s.o. It was relatively cheap (since it was produced basically by the same plants where the nuclear bombs were made). It was needed to have some brains to model something with this toy. There were lots of cheap magazines publishing projects for this toy. Sometimes it was problematic to subscribe for these magazines (it's Russia!!!!1111) but they still were cheap.

About 2010, I needed such a constructor to model some of my ideas before I implement them in full scale metal. I went to the toy shop. And I found that no such constructor is sold now. There was only a Lego. During some more searches I found the old-school metal constructor but it was extremely costly.

So, what do I think about this: 1) It was a deliberate policy of Commie Ruskies to grow bright engineers that would produce the Kuzkina Mat' (H-Bomb) of next generation; 2) It is a deliberate policy of modern Russian (and USA too since Lego is your production) to grow a controllable population.

Wikipedia: The Soviet famine of 1932–33 affected the major grain-producing areas of the Soviet Union, leading to the deaths of millions in those areas and severe food insecurity throughout the USSR. These areas included Ukraine, Northern Caucasus, Volga Region and Kazakhstan,[1] the South Urals, and West Siberia.[2][3] The subset of the famine within the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic is called Holodomor or "hungry mass-death." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

If you look at the map there you could see the hunger hit all the grain producing regions (which supports my theory that potato-producing regions survived). But you remember Ukraine ONLY, not North Caucasus, not Volga region. Why?

Yes, it HAS a say according to Gorbachev's agreement about reunification of Germany.

You may deny that such agreement took place. Then, you should either agree that Cuba has the same right to change allegiance as Baltic countries and Poland and do not suffer US embargo, and that placement of US rocket defense in Baltic countries and Poland is as legal as placement of Russian nukes in Cuba,

or confirm that the US is the only superpower using this fact against the interests of others, and the others have at least moral right to protect theirs interests.

No. Gorbachev agreed to reunification of Germany in exchange to nonproliferation of NATO. Proliferation of NATO occurred well before Putin's rule, in 1999. NATO is simply not trustworthy. Moreover. You Americans told us Russians that we are freed from terrible Bolshevik oppression and are part of Free World. For your internal use, you won in Cold War and coined a medal in commemoration. We Russians tried to be part of your World Economy and quite soon found that our oil money cannot buy anything except consumer goods. It took us about 20 years to understand it. The Chinese have the same problem.

Do you remember Gadhafi? Once he leased European politics quite a lot of money. What did you? You asked us to support the no-flight zone. Imagining ourselves a part of you Free World we agreed like a last idiot. Instead of no-flight zone, you simply bombed Gadhafi out of existence. No Gadhafi - no debt. Are you trustworthy at all?

Remember "Marschal Taburetkin" Serdyukov? He had a task to convert Russian army to money and invest these money to the world economy. Well, he almost killed Russian army but it was you who didn't allow the money to be invested. No problem. Shoygu and Rogozin do what they should. You just taught us the hard way.

If you know the history you should know that the historical Ukraine is the minuscule part of modern Ukraine, while Novorossia and Crimea attached to it by Tsars, Bolsheviks and Khruschev. And the last piece was Sevastopol annexed from Russia in 90-s.

There is a Russian nationalistic joke:
Q: Why did the Russians send the Tajik (variant: Moldovian) cosmonaut to ISS?
A: To replace the ceramic floors there.

Well, let Saakashvili kill 80'000 South Ossetians and Poroshenko make a Crimea-wide massacre similar to Odessa May 2,2014?

Total USA losses in WWII are 420'000. USSR losses are 20'000'000++. In Vietnam, you lost 280'000 killing 587'000 civilians and only 444'000 soldiers (Wikipedia data). Yes, USA knows how to kill civilians by means of drones. But does it constitute a Honor of Warrior?

If you know history of space exploration you should know that it were Americans who actually bought the Russian technology of long spaceflights, including the space toilet.

1) "Terror" famine in 30-s was EVERYWHERE in USSR. There are some territorial variations of famine but they are depended on structure of agriculture, not on nationality. Being a grandson of kulak I know these facts from my parents.
2) The famine was result of mass exchange of grain to Western industrial technologies, and destruction of peasantry created masses of hungry industrial workers. Both were needed to survive WWII.

Why? There was a military installation in Ukraine - the rocket testing facility or something. All the personnel was nominally military and really scientific. When all this Ukrainian crisis began all they were to be sent to Donetsk to kill "vatniks" and "kolorads". They plainly refused, were fired and I believe they work for Roskosmos. We Russians are in need of good personnel.

PS. Vatnik is a derogatory term for a person incurably poisoned with Soviet Communist propaganda ("vatnik" was a jacket with cotton heat insulation worn by Soviet soldiers and inmates). Kolorad is a derogatory term for Donetsk rebels due to similarity of their insignia to a back of Colorado beetle.
