    To be honest, it's kind of sad that these cartoons are needed to explain to the crowd something so simple. I even remember being taught how vaccines work, when I was 13.

    The problem is that the trend is expanding here, as well. The main issue are homeopathy charlatans with fake diplomas from shady institutions, but anti-vaccine hysteria has begun to gain some ground.

    There is a Facebook group of anti-vaccination mothers, eternally wondering why their offspring gets sick, despite being very careful at not approaching any doctor at proximity.

    At 9:00 PM Moscow time, all local and national Soviet TV channels would switch to a broadcast of the news program Вре́мя (Vremya, "Time").

    Soviet joke:

    A man is watching TV when Vremya comes on. He switches to next channel, it's still Vremya. He switches to the next channel, it's still Vremya. He switches the channel once more, but this time it's just a closeup of a KGB officer's face.

    "I would stop switching channels if I were you."

    This hits hard, found a letter in a cobert I didn't know I had, was in it's inner pocket. A sentence losely translated;

    I am going to do die and that's a shame, it's all so easy if you have no choice, it's a shame for me and you but you will have to go on, just keep doing what you do''

    Doing what, it was my job to beat up people and protecting hookers and sometimes join them

    Dangit. There is a lot more in it, on his view on arts etc. Feel like a discoverer finding this, I'm going to frame this and give it to my mom.

    'It's all so easy if you don't have a choice', I don't know if I should be angry or not, just found this in my pocket I have many cohberts I didn't wear it for 15 years

    Another gem, someone is being stubborn if you simply can't explain why he is wrong; I think that was directed at me I am bad at that

    This certainly brings up some memories of my father dying, we were completily conflicting characters when he was alive but maybe because we were much alike. Still, sorry dad I can't help not missing you at all

    And yes I have issues that haunt me
