Apr 26	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on Why did Carter force the Shah toward a more open political atmosphere in Iran?
Apr 26	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on Was Ayatollah Khamenei a KGB spy before the 1979 revolution?
Apr 26	comment	Did Hitler not intend a major war while invading Poland? Hitler's long term intentions are still heavily debated. Lots of opinions, but nothing conclusive I'm afraid.
Apr 26	revised	Alexander's seizure of “Brahmin” towns deleted 7 characters in body
Apr 26	comment	Was Hitler's genocide of the Jews “different” from other mass killings? "The European Parliament ... recognises the Holodomor (the artificial famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine) as an appalling crime against the Ukrainian people, and against humanity; strongly condemns these acts, directed against the Ukrainian peasantry, and marked by mass annihilation and violations of human rights and freedoms; expresses its sympathy with the Ukrainian people, who suffered in this tragedy, and pays its respects to those who died as a consequence of the artificial famine of 1932-1933"
Apr 26	comment	Was Hitler's genocide of the Jews “different” from other mass killings? @Anixx Ah, if Stalin said he didn't do it, then I guess it's true. :/
Apr 26	revised	Did Heisenberg undermine the German atomic bomb by deliberately hiding his expertise from the Nazis? edited tags
Apr 26	comment	Was Hitler's genocide of the Jews “different” from other mass killings? "I do not know about any genocide committed by Stalin" - I guess the millions of Ukrainians and Cossacks that died during the Holomodor famine weren't important enough to remember :/
Apr 23	comment	general philosophical question about history Then... rewrite the question to make it re-open worthy @DVK, and then post a better answer.
Apr 22	awarded	Enlightened
Apr 22	awarded	Nice Answer
Apr 22	comment	general philosophical question about history Your answer deserves a better question. Since the question was closed, I think you should go ahead and edit it to make it fit your answer in every aspect (subject, tone, grammar, even formatting - the obnoxious bolding doesn't help).
Apr 22	revised	Is there any research explicitly contradicting facts in Suvorov's “Icebreaker” book series claiming that Stalin intended to attack Hitler in 1941? edited tags
Apr 22	revised	What would be a typical rank for KGB intelligence offices spying abroad in the 1980s? edited tags
Apr 21	comment	What motivated foreign volunteers to help Iraq in Iraq-Iran war? Is there a point in sharing the photograph? Why not just ask "What motivated Sudanese volunteers to fight in the Iraq - Iran war"? Also, what's the source of the photograph and what's it's copyright status?
Apr 21	comment	Are these images from Iran-Iraq war authentic? The plane in the first photo is a Northrop F-5 and the ones in the second are Dassault Mirage F1s.
Apr 21	revised	Did the Nazis regard chemical warfare as inhumane and “Jewish”? how did everyone (including myself) missed that???
Apr 21	comment	Did the Austrians win a “great victory” at Belgrade in 1738? This might be helpful: en.wikisource.org/wiki/Taaffe,_Nicholas_(DNB00)
Apr 21	comment	Effect of natural environment on the development of cultures Hi. I've noticed you've also posted this on RPG.SE. You didn't really have to re-post it here, we can move questions between sites automatically. Next time, just flag the question for moderation attention and ask the moderators to migrate it to the more suitable site. It'll save you some time, and any answers and upvotes you got on the first site will follow the question (but not the downvotes, those are automatically removed when a question is moved ;).
Apr 20	comment	What would be a typical rank for KGB intelligence offices spying abroad in the 1980s? Hm, I haven't read that, but... Suvorov wasn't a KGB agent. Spetsnaz != KGB.
