You got snow from Maine, as a New Englander I'd not expect you to keep it for long. We want the Maritimes and they want to join us.
Maine has assimilated quite quickly and the Maritimes are quite divided on the issue, the only place that even has a majority in favour of leaving the confederation of Canadian Syndicates is Newfoundland and sorry but 52 percent of the population isn't enough, almost have the population wants to stay, the government made the choice ignoring the plebiscite.

At us in a film club now there is a Week of the Pre-revolutionary American Cinema. After a very vivid discussion of the film "Citizen Kane" (which perfectly depict the degradation of the personality under the influence of the capitalist mode of production), Sima (my wife) said that we should look something simpler. We watched the old film. It was called "Superman" and ..... the whole club was in perplexity. A man in tights, with cowards outwardly saves everyone, violates all the conceivable laws of physics and ... shines his mug to all the people, but no one really knows who he is! Until now, I can not forget the moment where he on the fly grabs a girl .... it should have been torn to pieces (do not mock me - my father is a nuclear physicist). Later I learned that such characters often appeared in comics (although the film was clearly not for children), and they are called superheroes .... for some reason I remembered "The Funny Little People". I wonder how much such films will be popular?
And what will happen to Angela Davis, Luis Corvalan, Patricia Hurst (by the way - who knows that the sleep has happened after the revolution, and then nothing has been heard of it, we have already started to list all possible theories - from life under an assumed name and Ending with a tragic death), Nelson Mandela, that with Bob Avakyan will be in the end (he went to America, only after rehabilitated political prisoners). Remember someone else - write.
OOC - Note. In the Soviet Union there was no comic book industry. Comics were printed in magazines for children (from which the stereotype that comics - reading for kids). The young generation of those years received their share of stories in pictures mostly on the pages of the popular magazine "Young Technician". The magazine was designed for a wide range of readers who are interested in technology and home inventiveness. Specificity of the publication dictated the subject of comics - cognitive stories, telling and showing how to make this or that craft.
The comics of the "Young Technician" appeared irregularly on the pages of the magazine. Usually the comics occupied only a part of the magazine strip and were located below the material of an article. The drawings went one after another like frames on a film. The stories in the pictures, told in this way, could stretch across the entire magazine.
Among the most famous children's stories of those years are comics about the adventures of the boy Petit Ryzhik and his faithful friends, puppies Mika and Muk. Thanks to inquisitiveness and perseverance, the heroes got into the most unusual situations, traveled to various continents, studied geography, found true friends, helped the oppressed defeat the enemies - punitive soldiers, evil bandits, cunning wealthy people. Sometimes fate threw travelers into space, and here they showed their best qualities, helped aliens, and in return themselves received help. Later, certain publications of Petya's adventures were published.
In the "Funny Pictures" the main characters were the group of Merry Men - an international team of characters from different countries: Buratino, Thumbelina, Pencil, Petrushka, Samodelkin and others. Together, friends traveled, fell into the most unusual situations, helped others to defeat the villains. Each of the heroes of "Funny Pictures" had pronounced individual traits - a special character, a manner of behavior and even "super abilities". So, Samodelkin could make anything from improvised materials, and Pencil was able to revive his drawings. Unusual abilities were the main weapon of the characters, but the emphasis in comics was made on the friendship of the heroes, their mutual help, honesty and kindness.
The competitor of Merry Men was Murzilka - the hero of the eponymous magazine. Like Merry Men, Murzilka got into all sorts of alterations, met with aliens, helped children, fought with evil forces - hooligans, bandits and sorceress Yabed-Koryabed. Murzilka in his adventures helped the kids, good beasts and the most loyal friend - the bird Chirik. Occasionally came across small adventure and fantastic stories for teenagers. Adults valued the satire.
In the East European countries there were many comic books on adventurous, fantastic, and detective stories, but attempts to create their own superheroes ended in complete failure (see Yugoslavia Octobrina). In general, it seems to me that in such a world comics of different will be very different from each other. All Americans - more podolgi. All Soviet - remember, the superhero does not dock with the Soviet ideology.

I think the 60s are the main turning point in the Cold War, where the lost any ideological high-ground. Between the unpopular and drawn-out occupation of Cuba and the revelation of Operation Northwoods, the devanguardisation initiatives in the USSR and Czechoslovakia allowing for democratic and civil rights reform, and France, one of the leading "democratic capitalist" powers falling to a military coup, it was kind of hard for America to make the case that the Cold War was about defending democracy against autocracy.
Can Dean Reed visit the US? Remember, he traveled around the US along with Renata Blum (incidentally - famously played in "Young Marx"). And what about the RAF? Some of them fled to the GDR.

OOC:Im i the only one sick of Soviet Union would always be some evil empire because it Opposed Glorious Democratic America spiel ?
sorry just allergic to idiocy. Apparently having single party democracy with various factions in the party means you are democratic at all. Wut ? i mean sure we have some problems. The solution to Having some problems isnt to Burn it all down throught as some Idiots and Power Hungry Bastards would say
First You misplaced zero there. Second not all of the 5 Milions people were there for lifetime you know. it was mostly 10 - 20 years with about 500 000 Getting lifetime. Third it was over period of 20 Years. Fourth Soviet Union Was massive even in those days so why dont you tell us the percentage of populations that were in gullags ? numbers dont look so impresive eh.

Do not breed a gulag-dispute! We at the university do this and that way (in school this theme is bypassed - children are still). Better explain to me why Superman wears shorts over tights, and will such films be popular if the US wins?

You quoted wrong person comrade *Insert Humorous Menacing Tone*
Anyways since i got involved in this
Id like to point out that those comics are something of Stachanov equivilant. As in larger than life throught unlike ours they are fictional. it seemed to be focused on educating and entertaiment (good combination, makes it easier to teach kids proper values if its done soflty and in form they enjoy) honestly there is reason they went after those comics. They were far too Egalitian in message for those Oligarchs.
What do you know about "superheroes". I heard that pre-revolutionary comics were filled with them.You quoted wrong person comrade *Insert Humorous Menacing Tone*

OOC - Soviet comics
We must understand that by the end of the 60s Europe fell into a deep moral (and later economic) crisis. The bourgeoisie knows only one method - to tighten the nuts, tighten the belts, and hand over power to the military. Were there alternatives to this decision?
Remember Paris - when, in order to preserve power, the government allowed itself to occupy NATO forces. I do not fully support the "gauchisme" (at times they behaved like hooligans). But they put forward just political demands.

We need to find a timeline where RFK lives that leads to Ted Bundy being head of the victorious USSR.
I love tankie LARPers. It's almost as if the hardliners took over after Khrushchev instead of the reformers who installed Dubcek in Czechoslovakia to test self management in an advanced industrial country as a solution for qualitative growth.
