dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I know I've read some Parenti that gets into it a bit, I'll take a look. Most were not literally executed, but the Soviets denied scientists acknowledgement for work, often they had as little knowledge of what they were really working on as possible (which may have hindered their contributions). But the only allegations attributing specific individuals their contributions that I've found before the collapse of the USSR appear in Western language sources, usually of those who were seemingly useful long enough or non-ideological enough to be sent home, and of those really just those that made their way to West Germany (and often ultimately the US) or were close to those that did.
