On #ThisDayInHistory in 1947, the #AK47 #AssaultRifle was introduced in the #USSR. The most popular firearm in history, this #Kalashnikov makes up about a fifth of guns in the world. Not especially accurate, its rate of fire and plentiful spare parts keep it in use worldwide.

And now, there's an explicit link between #Trump, #Epstein, and Russia, as #JeffreyEpstein claimed in email that he gave Russians insight into Trump.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1940, secret negotiations opened in Berlin regarding the #USSR formally joining the #AxisPowers. They hoped to build on the previous year's #MolotovRibbentropPact to divide Eastern Europe. #Hitler never seriously considered the alliance; #Stalin did.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1927, #LeonTrotsky was formally expelled from the #CommunistParty. He had been a towering figure in the #RussianRevolution and early #USSR, and removing him cleared the way for #JosefStalin to consolidate power. Trotsky was assassinated in Mexico in 1940.

｢ The experiment involved bouncing radio signals off the surface of Venus to transmit the following words using Morse code: Lenin, USSR and mir, which in Russian means both world and peace. Even though statistically increasing radio interference risk, this message was mainly symbolic. The Soviet Union wanted to depict its technological might and wasn’t expecting to communicate with extraterrestrials. Soviet SETI was thus not yet a real pursuit ｣
