Y'all...I just talked to my genius 70 year old Jewish-Russian-American friend for 4 hours about the 20th century. He left the Soviet Union in 1990 & had thoughts on everything from Kropotkin to an overview of Soviet Union history to the Holodomor to the Allies missed opportunity in WW2, the UN, the current state of China, to the Korean War to current Ukraine-Russia war.

George Orwell & Peter Kropotkin

The short: Vitaly had only the highest praise for Orwell. Familiar with, but not read Kropotkin. This was because he wasn't a Bolshevik. It wasn't allowed to exist. ๐Ÿ˜…

He freaking loves Orwell. The books of course, but especially his other writings and essays in the Guardian(?) Says they aren't even teaching Orwell in USA schools and other "controversial" literature near to the extent they did even 20 years ago. (I would actually like to look into this for my own edification. Thoughts?)

He said that he was familiar with Kropotkin, but not read at all or informed to speak on him. This is because he was as much an enemy of the Bolsheviks as the capitalists.

To give you a better idea of Vitaly, I almost always see him listening to audiobooks of classic Russian literatures while repairing or refurbing an electron microscope.

Now some more about Vitaly. I don't want to misspeak about his exact position while in Soviet Union, but he was a government scientist with low level security clearance. It would've taken him over 10 years of his official salary to buy the illegal car that he wasn't supposed to own.

I mentioned before, but in 1989 he did not have indoor plumbing or a telephone. The only way that he was allowed to have a car that cost more than 10 years salary, was that he registered it in his mother inlaw's name. She was old enough to potentially accumulate that much money, had certain jobs, etc.

In a bold live stream, YouTube prankster Vitaly and rapper Ty Dolla $ign took a stand against child predation by confronting a suspected predator.

The duo shaved his head and used a flashbang to drive the point home, stirring mixed reactions online.
