  • @belisariusorb the lubyanka building was redesigned by the soviets though

  • Anyone know what the music is at the start of this clip?

  • @belisariusorb He doesn't specifically say that it was. He just shows the building in which the Communist cultural values were enforced.

  • First big fib or mistake that I've caught him in so far:

    The Lubyanka was not constructed by Stalin, nor was it designed as a spy interrogation centre. It was a Tsarist-era hotel taken over by Dzezersky (sp?) to house the new secret police OGPU who would become the NKVD and then the KGB.

  • faith = imagination where someone else has done the imagining

    As trenchant a Meadesism as any other so far

  • "God, so far as I can gather is reached through faith, a low-grade form of imagination -- imagination where someone else has done the imagining for you , but imagination nonetheless."
