"no gods no masters"

"Death has become a phenomenon observed at every turn. When you step outside in the morning, you stumble over corpses lying in the gateway, and in the street. The dead bodies lie there for a long time, because there's nobody to dispose of them."

• Yelena Skriabina

The Siege of Leningrad was the longest and most destructive siege of any city in the world. For 872 days, the citizens of Leningrad were at odds with death. Encircled by German troops, the city was cut off from supplies, short of water and under the constant threat of air attacks. Yet the citizens did not give up and believed that there was no other option but to fight. Surrender was never an option.

Leningrad was a strategic location and a desired hub for the German troops. Not only was it an important port and the base of the Soviet Baltic Fleet, but it was also the symbol of the Soviet Revolution. By the start of September 1941, it became apparent that the Germans were fast approaching the city.

There was constant fighting on the outskirts of the city. The Moscow-Leningrad railway route was cut, and the enemy forces encircled Leningrad. Orders were given to fight to the end, and the three million citizens of Leningrad began preparing for the siege.

With the start of winter, temperatures dropped to -40ºC (-40ºF), freezing all the water pipes. Citizens would go down to the river, make holes in the ice and carry water home. Rats were also an enormous issue as they spread disease and ate through the already scarce supplies. People were dying right on the streets and were often left unburied.

Through all this, the city tried to keep up morale. Museums and theatres remained operational as much as possible. Among the most memorable moments was the performance of the Leningrad Symphony (written by Dmitry Shostakovich), which was transmitted everywhere by loudspeaker. Leningrad was determined to survive.

By 1943 the first breakthroughs were made and the Soviet troops were preparing to free the city. On January 14, 1944, the siege was partially lifted.

The siege continued until 27 January 1944, when the Soviet Leningrad–Novgorod Offensive expelled German forces from the southern outskirts of the city. This was a combined effort by the Leningrad and Volkhov Fronts, along with the 1st and 2nd Baltic Fronts.

The Baltic Fleet provided 30% of aviation power for the final strike against the Wehrmacht.[64] In the summer of 1944, the Finnish Defence Forces were pushed back to the other side of the Bay of Vyborg and the Vuoksi River.

Tea is considered to have originated in China. But it’s the delicate, fresh-tasting green tea that became popular in Eastern society and is still the base of tea culture there today.

As tea culture spread and tea was processed for export to trade beyond regions, neighboring countries and eventually across oceans, it was discovered that the more oxidized black tea would retain its freshness and flavor better over long journeys than its minimally oxidized green tea cousin.

In the earliest days of border trade between China, Tibet and other neighboring countries, tea was fermented, dried and pressed into bricks to be used as currency. To this day, most of the black tea produced in China is exported out of the country.

Blends:

• Earl Grey tea: Black tea with bergamot oil

• Engl*sh Breakfast tea: Full-bodied, robust, rich and blended to go well with milk and sugar.

• Engl*sh afternoon tea: Medium bodied, bright and refreshing. Strong Assam and Kenyan teas are blended with Ceylon which adds a light, brisk quality to the blend.

• Irish breakfast tea: Blend of several black teas: most often Assam teas and, less often, other types of black tea.

• Masala chai Indian spiced tea: Combines black tea, spices native to the Indian sub-continent, milk, and a sweetener such as sugar or honey

by the way, i have decided to start using the Calendar Date of Latam instead of the USA one, you are welcome :stalin-heart:

also i Seized the Image from GenZedong

Long live the Chairman Daou

here is the image in better definition, also more info about the world

Here we see the how the world looks in the aftermath of the WWZ in the book "zombie survival guide" by liberal author Max brooks

some interesting things (lib stuff that makes no sense) that happen are, Iran and Pakistan (know allies) just nuke eachother just cause??, China literaly lets the zombies destroy their country because they dont want to accept they have a pandemic? also it nukes itself to become a democracy.

Japanese are samurais again, the DPRK just dissapears, Israel saves palestine and they both joined together to make a levantine state (controled by the israelies of course.

Brazil is a military junta, Chavez reforms the gran colombia (based :chavez-salute: ) peru-bolivia confederation is a thing again.

and my favorite one, Mexico just changes its name to Aztlan, this word has little to no meaning to Mexicans besides cool nahualt word, and also mexicans are aztecs now, even tho the south of the country is infuence by the maya, and the north by non-nahualt, like we are not some homogeneous country we have 70 different ethnic groups.

if you like maps, and want a community about them in chapo chat please show you support about it in this post , also if you have any recommendations for a future map community (like having world building too) write in the linked post

something for you libs who still believe in electoralism
