Bye-tswoh, with a sharp ending on the oh, so not like an ohhhh that you'd say when you're yawning but similar to the end sound like when you say "wut?" or the o sound when you say "opposition"

Ancaps claim to uphold the free market and yet they'll abandon their principles by offering state-funded helicopter rides for free.

Curious!

No. As per the message in the image of the post, posting is not organising.

If you can't find a textbook on LibGen or Zlibrary, hit me up. I'm good at sourcing pirated textbooks.

Sometimes I can only find earlier editions or, for example, the international edition rather than the Canadian-specific edition that your course has instructed you to buy but 95% of the time those special editions and the newer editions are just a reworked version of the exact same content.

It's actually a racket where courses will tell students to buy the most recent edition of a textbook to actively discourage students from buying second-hand textbooks of the previous edition for fear that they're getting out of date information when actually all they do is update the pictures, change the cover image, amend typos, and occasionally they'll shift the content around a bit of update the little case studies that reinforce the learnings from the chapter in order to keep them relevant to today.

But the actual core of the content is almost always identical/virtually identical.

So yeah, let me know if you need help with sourcing any textbooks or other books.

Yep. Chuev conducted a series of lengthy interviews with Molotov over the period of 1969 - 1986 and he kept extensive notes about what Molotov attested to.

While I can't seem to find an English language translation of 140 Conversations with Molotov, his other work, Molotov Remembers, is frequently cited as a primary source by historians.

Given that it's testimony from something which was said many years prior to the interview I'd hazard a guess that Molotov was paraphrasing because the chances of it being an exact quote are vanishingly slim but such is the nature of historical work; often the eyewitness testimony is going to be somewhat hazy, especially long after the fact.

I personally would feel comfortable in saying that Stalin had actually said something to this effect, if not exactly word for word, to Molotov.

It's according to Molotov's recollection. From Сто сорок бесед с Молотовым by Felix Chuev:

Stalin himself, I remember, said during the war: “I know that after my death, my grave will be piled with rubbish. But the winds of history will ruthlessly dispel it!

AOC has managed to sheepdog naive leftists into thinking that she's a radical who is going to bring change (we can believe in™) to the Democratic Party just by voting for her.

That's actually quite the achievement when you think about it.

Huh... that's odd. This is the exact same names and order as a list which I've got.
