  STALIN -PUTIN AND THE JANUARY FROST
  ANNOTATION
  January 1951. The USSR is recovering from the bloody Second World War. Various factories and plants are being built. And various storylines unfold with their own adventures.
  CHAPTER No 1.
  So, we celebrated New Year's and Orthodox Christmas with great pomp. Stalin and Putin were quite pleased with the holiday. You could say their spirits were lifted. The country is rebuilding, and for now, peace reigns. And you could say everything is fine and cheerful. You even feel like jumping up and down and laughing. Although you're getting a bit old. And you should behave more respectably. The leader of the USSR recalls his past, also quite turbulent life. Back then, he ruled Russia.
  On the one hand, he was lucky, but on the other hand, there was work and sometimes risky steps.
  In particular, the decision to launch an offensive against Wahhabi villages in Dagestan could have triggered a massive explosion in this impoverished and densely populated region. Moreover, a major war against Chechnya was an extremely risky undertaking.
  We could have ended up with a second Afghanistan, or even worse. Oh well, that's the distant past. More recent was the war with Ukraine, which I don't even want to remember. Yes, they had to expose themselves like that.
  Stalin-Putin sighed and sipped his tea with lemon. Maybe it would be easier this way. What did he really want then? In this alternate world, Hitler rules and has conquered most of the planet.
  Stalin and Putin both have one goal: to avoid war and survive. And for now, all the regime's actions are aimed at this. And it wouldn't be a bad idea to acquire an atomic bomb.
  Oh, how about watching a movie for fun? It'll take your mind off the daily grind.
  Well, why not try film? Especially since they've learned to shoot them in color now.
  For example, it doesn"t necessarily have to be about war, maybe something fictional.
  And Stalin-Putin lay down on the soft sofa, and, drinking low-alcohol, sweet wine, began to watch.
  In this case, he was indeed watching a fairy tale filmed in color.
  The action took place in some German city in the Middle Ages.
  In particular, a procession of girls and young women was led. They were wearing tattered, shabby dresses and barefoot. One of them, however, stood out. Her dress was poor but very short, a mere miniskirt, something not typical of the Middle Ages. This made her stand out, displaying her bare, naked, tanned, muscular, and quite seductive legs.
  And the girl herself is quite beautiful-a natural blonde, with long, slightly golden, and slightly curly hair. And her face is so expressive that you can immediately tell she's no commoner. She looks like a princess, barefoot, in a short, poor dress, on the run.
  Stalin-Putin, looking at her, even felt a thrill and desire, something that doesn't often happen when your body is over seventy and your soul even older. After all, Putin himself, at the time of his death, was even older than Stalin in real history, and almost caught up with Brezhnev. But higher powers told him then, "Enough, Vladimir. You've messed up a lot in this era; go do more in the next." And maybe it was right in the sense that they ended his reign when Russia was truly in danger of falling apart, but they created even greater chaos and discord in another universe.
  Stalin-Putin sighed... Instead of going with the flow and becoming a better Stalin, relying on his knowledge of the future, he decided to punish Britain and the United States. And let's be honest - he succeeded! But the Third Reich, having swallowed such enormous potential, became too powerful.
  But even here, fortune, which favored Putin greatly, came to his aid, and Hitler invaded Japan. As a result, the nearly defeated USSR was able to preserve some of its territory. It even managed to recapture what Japan had seized, as well as southern Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. That's an achievement.
  Moreover, Hitler allowed a corridor to be created to Moscow and withdrew his troops from the already partially captured city. So, Stalin and Putin retained their power.
  Hitler then carried out several more operations, capturing what he had not managed to grab.
  And today, all that remains is Finland, which includes part of the northern territories of the USSR, as well as Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, and colonial possessions in Russia.
  But all these countries entered the super-market zone and were completely dependent on the Third Reich. So, for now, Adolf Hitler is in no rush to seize them. Meanwhile, Stalin and Putin have a breathing space. And the USSR is being restored. True, it's a struggle, and they still have to pay reparations to the Third Reich.
  Plus, there are restrictions on weapons. While tanks can still be made, even new ones, an atomic bomb is strictly taboo! But they're still secretly trying to do something, albeit top-secret, which means very slowly.
  And given Hitler's character, a couple of nuclear warheads won't deter him; they might even sacrifice their own. And the missiles needed for that would be quite powerful, and bombers wouldn't reach Berlin-the Germans have far too strong air defenses, radars, and jet fighters. There are aircraft mounted with as many as nine cannons, capable of hitting both ground and air targets.
  So it"s not worth interfering in your affairs, and for now Stalin-Putin is simply trying to survive.
  The film is quite interesting. Girls and young women walk along the guarded path. Their bare feet, naked and defenseless, tread on the large pebbles and sharp stones of medieval roads. And their feet are shown in close-up as they walk on the sharp stones. Especially the blonde girls. It's clear she's been walking barefoot for months, and stepping on the sharp stones doesn't hurt at all. Her feet are calloused, her legs are tanned; it's clear she's like this almost year-round, since she might wrap herself up in the cold. But her legs are beautiful and seductive, very graceful, and their shape is not at all rough.
  Stalin-Putin, looking at her legs again, gets excited. She could even raise a dead man from his bed. And so sexy... Where did they find such an artist?
  Girls and young women are walking. Sometimes they are whipped, and the fair sex screams.
  Stalin and Putin wondered, "Why is this so?" They were captured and being led away as if they were legitimate prey. All the girls and young women were beautiful, but poorly dressed and usually barefoot.
  Here they are at the gate, where guards are inspecting the goods. Children scurry about, also half-naked and barefoot. Incidentally, this is most likely the south of Germany-the summer is warm, and it's pleasant to walk barefoot in such weather. One of the soldiers calls over a blonde girl. He grabs her by the chin and tries to look at her teeth. The girl kicks away. You can hear giggles. It's truly funny. And then they are led into the city. And again the girls walk, slapping their bare feet. They are beautiful beyond words. Stalin-Putin calls a girl to himself. Desire has awakened and you need to catch it, otherwise, when you're over seventy, the desire that awakened it can disappear. And a Komsomol member in a short skirt with well-developed curves runs up to him, flashing her bare feet.
  Stalin-Putin begins to caress and fondle her, all the while watching a film. It must be said, modern warfare with tanks and planes is tiresome, and antiquity is appealing.
  The girls are indeed brought out onto the platform. Apparently they're about to sell the slaves. Of course, this isn't an Eastern bazaar, and they're not stripped naked in this case. But the men are allowed to touch them and look into their mouths.
  The men are groping her feet. The blonde girl is the most striking and beautiful of them. And then they grab her by the bare, tanned sole and start kneading and tickling it. You have to admit, it's quite funny.
  Stalin-Putin noted:
  - This is great! I haven't seen films like this in a long time! They only make films about barefoot pioneers in shorts.
  The Komsomol girl replied:
  - What would you like, sir?
  Stalin-Putin objected:
  "I'm not a master, I'm a comrade! And being a comrade is better than being a master! As if master meant being a bloodsucker and an exploiter!"
  The girl exclaimed:
  - You are right, Comrade Stalin!
  The leader of the USSR noted:
  - Now bring me a portion of chebureki with pork and garlic.
  The girl broke into a run, her bare, pink heels sparkling. Stalin-Putin loved to look at girls' bare heels. So even in January, the maids went barefoot. And they stepped softly and silently. Moreover, Stalin-Putin's residence is quite warm, and the floor is heated, so the girls are comfortable.
  There is a theory, partially confirmed by practice, that the presence of an older man among young girls rejuvenates the body with the help of biocurrents.
  Girls are great. Just then, some kind of brawl broke out on the screen. Apparently, the bandit leader was trying to rescue the blonde. However, there were plenty of guards. And the blonde girl, apparently, wasn't thrilled about sharing a bed with the bandits either. And she didn't throw herself into the chieftain's arms.
  And quite conveniently, reinforcements enter the fray, quite beautiful and spectacular. And even a detachment led by a knight. And the bandits, realizing their cause is already lost, retreat.
  And the girls and young women are taken into custody and led to the fortress under heavy guard.
  There they are led to a large chamber with scattered straw. The girls and young women lie down on the straw. And the blonde, with her bare feet in the air, talks to the young woman about something.
  They're both lying on the straw. The woman she's talking to also has bare feet, but her skirt isn't as short, more typical of the Middle Ages.
  They were talking about how prison was boring, but there were fewer annoying men.
  The blonde is beautiful, and her legs are clearly visible, including her knees. The other women in the cell are also talking on the barred windows.
  Stalin-Putin noted that none of the women were old, and most were young. He himself wouldn't mind being in that cell with a member of the fair sex, barefoot at that. Especially a charming blonde. They would have had a good time together.
  Here Stalin-Putin thought he'd gladly give up power to inhabit the body of a twenty-year-old, or even a teenager. But this body... It seems the eyes want it, but the strength isn't there!
  And how seductive the blonde looks on the straw, her legs raised high-so tanned, so bare, so perfectly shaped. Even the rough sole with its gracefully curved round heel looks seductive and beautiful.
  She's not dirty, by the way, just slightly dusty, which looks quite aesthetically pleasing. And the toenails on her bare feet are neatly trimmed. Well, that's implausible, but it's done so that when the camera shows a close-up of the feet of a very beautiful and curvy girl, it's pleasant to watch and evokes a sense of joy and admiration. Overgrown, especially dirty, toenails would ruin that impression.
  Stalin-Putin grinned - yes, this is beautiful. And in its own way, the life of a beautiful girl behind bars is charming. They could have also put chains on her for added sexiness.
  But of course, the girl wouldn't lie on the straw for long in the movie. The robbers sawed through the grating, climbing up the walls. And the women began descending the rope ladder. And the blonde, stepping on her wonderful bare feet, went first. Yes, it's truly beautiful, especially when her feet are shown close-up on the ladder.
  Okay, so she's on the ground, and the bandit leader picks her up and puts her on his horse. And they race into the forest together. It's a really cool and interesting scene, you could say.
  Here they are, deeper and deeper, and all around them lies summer and lush, green grass. A blonde girl dangles her bare, tanned legs from the horse. They sway seductively. And her light hair flutters like a banner.
  And so they reached a fork in the road. The bearded bandit stopped his horse at the edge of the forest and asked the girl:
  - Are you ready to marry me?
  The blonde answered logically:
  - You're proposing too quickly! And I barely even know you! And you're old enough to be my father!
  The leader of the bandits grinned and replied:
  - Well, as you wish! I won't force you! The only question is - where will you go?
  The girl answered logically:
  - I'll get somewhere!
  And jumping off her horse, she stomped along the path in her bare feet. She was so graceful and proud, despite her meager clothes, and the short skirt made her look very sexy.
  And she quickly walked along the path. She was a young, healthy, slender girl, not looking emaciated, despite being clearly hungry. Several times she bent down and plucked berries, immediately popping them into her scarlet mouth.
  She's such a wonderful girl-one might even say she's super. And she has a very expressive, aristocratic face. And so she goes, but of course, the film won't show her entire journey.
  Here she reached the lake. And the flowers had finally blossomed and the water had warmed up.
  The girl throws off her shabby dress, it falls to her bare, perfectly shaped feet, and she's left completely naked, wearing no underwear. However, she's not shown naked. Here she's splashing in the water, and her bare shoulders and chest are visible.
  But then the guards appeared, galloping on horseback. And ahead of them, the dogs raced; they were clearly on the scent. They were as big and vicious as wolves. So they plunged into the water. The warriors began to hold them back and call out to keep them from tearing the girl apart.
  And she kicks. And they drag her by the hair to the shore. They pull her out. The girl desperately tries to cover her naked body with her hands. She has developed breasts and strong hips, a rather thin waist. She is undoubtedly beautiful, and her palms try to cover her intimate parts. And so she is bashfully covered up, even more seductive, and much more arousing than, for example, lustful strippers who brazenly display their charms. And such modesty, even from a very curvy blonde with developed forms, is even more arousing.
  Stalin-Putin feels his male perfection swelling and ready to burst.
  She's as aroused as a teenage virgin, not a man who, even in his previous life, made it to seventy-five, nearly breaking Leonid Brezhnev's age record. And then, soon, it will be nine years since May 1942, since he's been in Stalin's body. So, he's already that old... But the beautiful blonde, shyly covering her body with her hands, has aroused him so much that he's alternately hot and cold, like a teenager. She's clearly an extraordinary girl in her sexuality.
  But now they're leading her away, and they're probably really eager to rape her. But another knight appears and shouts for her to stop and get dressed.
  They pull on the girl's naked, wet body a poor servant's dress, which is still somehow miraculously held on.
  And they put her in a cage that had been prepared in advance. The girl sat down on the straw. They shoved a jug of water and a loaf of bread at her. In prison, the blonde hadn't had time to eat and greedily gobbled down the stale bread and washed it down with water.
  They take her to the city. Barefoot, ragged, half-dressed children hop about. Beggars and street urchins whistle and point. True, some of them, especially the older ones, still have some rough wooden shoes. Barefoot is probably more comfortable in the summer, especially for a child, whose soles quickly harden and experience more pleasure than discomfort from contact with the prickly surface.
  And the blonde girl is being humiliated, but she looks so proud, her gaze full of dignity and disdain. As if she is above it all.
  And indeed, when a rotten tomato hit her in the cheek, she didn"t even move.
  So they brought her to the deputy. There, a guard wiped her face. And then she went on, her bare, tanned feet stomping up the stone stairs, accompanied by guards in heavy armor.
  And in the hall a young man was studying. He was wearing gilded armor, clearly rich and noble.
  And so, this poor, but very beautiful and proud girl with bare, muscular, tanned legs and very bright white hair was brought into the luxurious hall.
  The young man approached her. The girl looked at him defiantly. Suddenly, the young man bowed, fell before her bare, graceful, slightly captivated feet, and said:
  - Oh, my greatest princess! I am delighted to welcome the daughter of King Mercedes!
  And he, kneeling, kissed her bare feet. Even though they were dusty. The girl smiled. She turned out to be the king's daughter. She had always suspected as much. And her bare feet tasted sweeter than honey.
  The guards also knelt. And how wonderful and unexpected that was.
  Stalin-Putin noted with a smile:
  - What a cool twist! But I always suspected she wasn't a slut, but a princess.
  Stalin-Putin thought at this point how beautiful the girls were! How this scene had aroused him again. A handsome young man in gilded armor standing before a barefoot beggar. It was truly arousing, and it seemed like his masculine perfection would burst from the strain.
  But then the young man stood up. An older man entered, and with him a woman, also not very young, but wearing a dress strewn with precious kanmyas.
  And she ordered:
  - Wash and dress the princess! And then give her a royal treat!
  And then the maids appeared, dressed so colorfully that Mercedes's poverty was especially emphasized. Especially her bright honey-blond hair.
  So they took her to a room with a golden bathtub, turned on the shower, took off her dress, and started washing her with shampoo. Well, they showed it through a veil, so it wasn't that noticeable.
  And then they dressed the girl and put her shoes on, in very luxurious garments with stones and beads, garlands, and other beautiful things. But in this precious crust, Mercedes wasn't so exciting. Stalin-Putin's dignity plummeted and even began to ache.
  Well, the most interesting part is probably over. But no matter, there's still plenty to see. For example, the robber has appeared. Apparently, he wants to stake his claim, too.
  Stalin and Putin were already half-eyed. He was more interested in tanks. In particular, the IS-7 was the only vehicle that could fight on equal terms with Hitler's pyramid-shaped tanks. It must be said that this tank was good, but expensive. Soviet industry couldn't afford to produce it in series production. They took a simpler approach, using the Zveroboy chassis and mounting a 130mm naval gun.
  Those were some very good self-propelled guns. But that's not the most important thing. With cumulative shells, even a T-54 tank could fight pyramid-shaped tanks.
  This is what they're counting on in the next war. And Hitler could start a new war at any moment. Moreover, the Nazis' plans, it must be said, are very ambitious. First, power over planet Earth, and then over the entire universe.
  Just like a comic book villain!
  Meanwhile, the young man and the bandit are fighting. The young man is masked and armored. And the bandit is clearly no ordinary man either. And he fights quite well. And the girl Mercedes, in a luxurious dress studded with precious stones, looks on. Incidentally, she doesn't feel comfortable in her high heels. So she takes them off. And two slave boys begin to wash her feet in a golden basin, with rose water and washcloths.
  The girl looks on and smiles. But after a successful blow from the robber, the young man's helmet flies off, revealing his fair head.
  And then an epic scene. The robber recognized him and exclaimed:
  - You are my son! I am your father!
  The young man didn"t believe it at first, but the robber showed him the medallion.
  After which they hugged and kissed.
  And then the Duke ordered the robber to be arrested and the young man to be dragged back to his chambers.
  Stalin-Putin grinned and sang:
  And Stalin is our light and hope,
  In the name of a great country...
  Flowers bloom where before,
  The fires of war blazed!
  Stalin-Putin thought that if, in real history, Hitler had launched the E-10 into production instead of the useless work on the Maus and Lion, then the Nazis could well have slowed down the Soviet troops on the eastern rampart and thrown the Red Army into the Dnieper.
  Then the war could have dragged on for a long time. Stalin and Putin thought that the role of tanks and self-propelled guns had been underestimated during the war with Ukraine. It would have been nice to produce a large number of ten-ton self-propelled guns, powered by gas turbines or electric engines. And with two or even one crew member, armed with machine guns and aircraft cannons. And the speed could have been chosen so that the self-propelled guns could outrun drones. It wasn't a bad idea, by the way. Perhaps better than the T-90 tank. The latter is obsolete, although still a good machine.
  But it is only a slightly modernized T-64, which appeared back in the sixties of the twentieth century.
  In terms of armor, the Russian troops were weak at the time, and well, that's when he got into trouble.
  Stalin-Putin sang:
  Our tanks are not afraid of dirt,
  We always knew how to fight the Fritz!
  The film takes a new turn. The robber is shown behind bars. They're clearly planning to starve him to death. And he's in prison. But then, on the orders of the blonde princess, a barefoot maid slips him a loaf of bread and a jug of milk.
  And finally, the bandit battles the duke. The latter is dressed in knightly armor. He is larger, taller, and broader-shouldered than the bandit. They are, in a sense, fighting for the future. And the knight-duke seems much stronger. He even chopped off the bandit's axe.
  Meanwhile, Stalin and Putin considered whether, if the Great Patriotic War had dragged on in real history, Stalin would have launched the IS-7 into production, or whether that tank was too expensive and complex. Stalin himself may have been reluctant to emulate Hitler, who had overly embraced heavy tanks at the expense of mobility and logistics.
  But the IS-7 is such a powerful tank, with its special "Pike Snout" turret, that it could pose problems even for modern Abrams and Leopard tanks. And its gun is quite lethal, although its muzzle velocity is inferior to modern guns.
  Meanwhile, the robber won the movie. And the Duke's head flew off. Moreover, Stalin-Putin missed how the forest warrior did it. Well, what an interesting turn of events.
  Then everything ends well. The robber becomes a duke himself, and the princess marries the young man. And that's love and a happy ending!
  Stalin-Putin enjoyed watching the film. Fortunately, the real Stalin had no vision problems. And by quitting smoking, he could have delayed his stroke. This could help him recover for a while.
  Well, overall, he can be pleased that at least it"s something fresh, and not another Timur and his team, or about female partisans.
  It would be good, of course, to make a film about the capture of Berlin, but it"s better not to tease Hitler.
  The Third Reich is still very strong and dynamic. Fighting it would be suicidal.
  Stalin and Putin lay down on the couch and called Beria, talking briefly. Overall, the USSR is calm for now, and even crime is falling. True, the war of the bitches is still going on in the camps, and there are still many murders. At least this is cleaning up the criminal underworld.
  So you could say everything's calm in Baghdad. It would be nice to fly to Africa and laze on the beach. I remembered a novel set in an alternate history where Tsarist Russia reached the Indian Ocean. And the Russian Tsar ordered the construction of a city on the Persian Gulf coast. The new capital of the Russian Empire-that would be great!
  It's possible that, had World War I been won, the capital of Tsarist Russia would have been moved to Constantinople. And that wouldn't be a bad idea either. Especially since St. Petersburg is cold and rainy.
  Stalin-Putin lay on the sofa. Beautiful girls in bikinis danced before him. And yet, though their bare, shapely feet slapped briskly, they weren't as arousing as this barefoot princess.
  Stalin-Putin ordered:
  "Find the actress who played the princess from 'King of Thieves' and bring her to my chambers! She's awakened the man in me! And I must say, it's a wonderful, wonderful feeling! And as for everything else, there will be new times and new crushing victories!"
  And the girls in bikinis continued to dance and sang:
  In the vastness of the wonderful Motherland,
  Tempered in battles and struggles...
  We composed a joyful song,
  About a great friend and leader!
  
  Stalin is the glory of battle,
  Stalin of our youth, the flight...
  Fighting and winning with song,
  Our people follow Stalin!
  
  Fighting and winning with song,
  Our people follow Stalin!
  CHAPTER No 2.
  Oleg Rybachenko, while continuing to make conquests in Africa and building roads there, including railways, continued to compose.
  Alik and Alina decided to take a short stroll outside. It should have been night by now, but in reality it was as bright as day. Something had changed. It was as if mirrors had been hung above the planet, or perhaps additional luminaries had been lit.
  Alina, happily slapping her bare feet, noted:
  - This is great, just like in a fairy tale - eternal day!
  Alik, as a smart boy prodigy, noted:
  - But this way planet Earth can overheat!
  The girl noted with some doubt:
  - I hope the new owners are smart enough to prevent something like this from happening!
  The boy prodigy noted:
  - It was enough to capture the Earth, I hope it is enough not to destroy it.
  The young ladies tried to walk where there were no other people. There were practically no adults left, but the children marched in formation. They were dressed in either orange or striped jumpsuits with numbers. As if it were now one large children's colony. Which looked both funny and scary.
  Alina noted:
  - You and I are still real children, so maybe we won"t even have to change clothes?
  Alik nodded with a smile:
  "Turning children into children is stupid! But on the other hand, anything can happen!"
  They walked barefoot, and it was even a bit hot; the asphalt was hot on the children's heels. The air was actually quite fresh-it smelled of ozone. And a strange breeze was swirling.
  Planet Earth, occupied and rejuvenated. A girl ran past them, dressed in normal clothes and not barefoot. She squeaked:
  - What a horror! Where have all the adults gone?
  Alik answered with a smile:
  - We've returned to childhood! And now we can be happy!
  Alina added:
  - You are our peer, aren't you?
  The girl nodded in agreement:
  - Yes! But I don't know what these monsters will do with the children!
  The boy prodigy answered honestly:
  - I don't know either! But I definitely hope they won't eat it with ketchup!
  Alina suggested:
  - Let's sing to cheer ourselves up!
  Alik agreed:
  - Let's sing, and we won't know any troubles or sorrows!
  And the child programmers took it upon themselves to sing with feeling and expression:
  Joan of Arc voluntarily went up to the stake,
  Showed us all what love is!
  And the girls are simple: it"s also a dream, a fantasy,
  Become a mighty fighter - shed blood in battles!
    
  But she was born in boring times,
  Where the war is far away: it"s only shown on TV!
  After all, a fighter needs adventures,
  To throw off the veil, cobwebs and turbidity!
    
  But then something happened, a man-made nightmare,
  Times have broken through - space has split!
  And a scar will remain in our hearts forever,
  How Russia was suddenly plunged into a hellish kingdom!
    
  But now you can fight all day long,
  Every day there is a feat, or bullets in the face!
  We girls are not too lazy to beat enemies in war,
  My Rus' has not forgotten how to hold a sword in its hands!
    
  It's hard, hard, you can't relax your torso,
  After all, you have to fight for a long time and painfully!
  Behind my back are friends, behind my friends is family,
  I will take the weight of the military knapsack off my shoulder!
    
  But I dreamed, and the dream came true,
  The girl has no complaints against God!
  And although the flesh aches and suffers painfully,
  I want to get a medal in my party card!
    
  What is war? Those who don't know it won't understand.
  This is the sweet bliss of bloody battles!
  Either you have a shield, or a machine gun is firing,
  You feel a cruel burning sensation from the wound!
    
  When the enemy is fishing, the soul blossoms,
  Oh, you are fragile, life, like glass in a window!
  And you go crazy with the happiness of the fascist soul,
  And a comrade died, suddenly a glass hit his cheek!
    
  There's just a little bit left and then for centuries,
  Establish Russian power in the universe!
  The strength of our Motherland Rus' is great,
  We will not let our Fatherland disappear into the cesspool!
  So the feisty and aggressive children sang. And stamped their bare feet. But it really is a song that can inspire. A boy in shorts, about ten years old, ran up to them and asked:
  - Are you opera singers?
  Alina answered confidently:
  - Singers, but not opera singers! More like pop singers!
  A boy of about ten years old, that is, even younger than Alik, nodded and chirped:
  We guys are having some bad luck,
  It's like wandering through a desert...
  The barefoot girl sings,
  It would be better to cut off a piece of melon!
  Alina remarked with a smile, which, however, was not cheerful:
  - You shouldn't talk about bad luck, and especially not sing like that - you can bring it on!
  The boy in shorts was barefoot, and it was clear that he had small blisters on the soles of his feet from being unaccustomed to them.
  And he noticed:
  - I had a mom and dad. And now all I have left is a brother and sister!
  Alina asked:
  - Do they still have their memory?
  The boy in shorts shrugged:
  - I don't know! I saw that they looked about twelve years old and were dressed in striped pajamas, like underage prisoners.
  The girl giggled and noted:
  - It's funny in its own way!
  Alik objected:
  - No, it"s not very funny, I also have parents, as well as grandparents!
  The boy nodded and added:
  "The girl with the lynx ears made me take off my sandals. She said I was now a slave and had to go barefoot. And in the meantime, they'll still have to decide what to do with the little ones!"
  Alena noted:
  "For an old woman, becoming a twelve-year-old girl isn't so bad! Or for an old man. But if you're both an adult and young at the same time..."
  Alik confirmed with a smile:
  "As Zigzag Mokryak used to say, where did my tall stature go? And do I have to go to school again? I thought I was done suffering!"
  The boy in shorts agreed:
  - I don't like going to school! There's nothing more boring than sitting at a desk and listening to people counting or subtracting!
  Alenka noticed with a smile:
  - To be happy in life, sometimes it is enough to learn two actions - subtraction and division, and one punctuation mark - an exclamation mark when singing arias to the tyrant!
  Alik, also baring his teeth, added:
  - The tyrant promises to elevate the people, but he lifts them up like a hanged man"s rope!
  The children looked at each other. Two barefoot boys, one girl with shoes on, and the other showing off her bare heels. And it wasn't clear what to do next. They'd gone into a quieter alley. The adults were no longer visible, but not everyone was still in camp uniform.
  Alik noted:
  - I spent a little time in a special school. But they didn't change us into orange or striped jumpsuits there!
  Alina giggled:
  - So you're lucky!
  And the barefoot girl noted:
  - A barefoot boy imprisoned in a juvenile penal colony is much freer and happier than the old man sitting in the minister's chair and putting shoes on citizens!
  The girl in sandals replied:
  - Don't talk about a juvenile detention center. The kids there are really mean. And they won't let you run around barefoot.
  The boy in shorts noticed:
  "Walking barefoot isn't as great as having your feet burning for a couple of hours! I thought..."
  Alina muttered:
  - The turkey was thinking, and ended up in the soup!
  Alik noted:
  - It is better for a boy to run barefoot on sharp stones than for an old man to wear shoes from crooked doctors!
  And the children winked at each other. And here comes a marching column of barefoot boys. They have striped shirts, but they are wearing shorts, also striped, by the way. And they march and sing:
  Let our new homeland be glorified,
  We found a great shelter for ourselves there...
  There used to be an ugly old woman,
  Nowadays barefoot girls sing!
  Alina agreed:
  - A barefoot girl is much more beautiful than an old woman in morocco boots!
  Alik added with a smile:
  - A young man's bare heel feels bliss on sharp stones, while an old man's sides suffer even with a soft cushion!
  The girl in sandals noted:
  - Well, you're just like Cicero and Aristotle!
  The boy prodigy nodded:
  - I try! Although this has its pros and cons. Not everyone likes those who are too smart.
  The boy in shorts logically noted:
  "Nobody likes fools either, not even children. Maybe even doubly so. As we often say, you're a fool. But in Rus', offending a saint was considered a sin."
  Alik nodded and remarked:
  - It was considered, but still the blessed ones were offended, even by children!
  Alina wanted to say something when two elves appeared, they pointed their weapons at the girl in sandals and ordered:
  - Come on, take off your shoes, you're a prisoner now and you have to walk barefoot!
  The girl quickly got rid of her shoes and even took off her knee-high socks. Now her little feet were bare and vulnerable.
  The elves grinned and replied:
  "You are real children, and unlike adults, you are not as corrupted by your rotten civilization. So for now, we allow you to wear your own clothes and give you a little freedom, until further notice. But then you too will be sent to correctional, juvenile, and labor camps."
  Alik remarked capriciously, stamping his small, childish foot:
  - Don't send me to a labor camp! I'm smart and can serve you as is!
  The elves burst out laughing and answered in chorus:
  - We've seen so many smart guys that they even make us sick! Maybe I should tickle you a little?
  The boy muttered in confusion:
  - No, don't!
  The girls with lynx ears objected:
  - No! We have to!
  And the elves rushed toward Alik. The boy tried to escape, but they fired at him, and the child was caught in a force field, hanging helplessly.
  And so Alik was pinned down by the brim, and the elf girl took a feather resembling an ostrich's in her right hand. She began to gently, yet deftly, run it across the boy's bare sole.
  The young genius began laughing hysterically and shuddering. It was indeed quite ticklish. It wasn't painful, but it was highly arousing and made him roar with laughter.
  Alik laughed, his childish face turning crimson, and two barefoot girls and a boy in shorts watched, blinking their bright, pretty eyes.
  Alina took it and sang:
  Tickled, tickled, tickled,
  The boy's heels are visibly tired...
  Let's girls have a little rest,
  And then we'll start again with passion!
  The elves nodded approvingly:
  - Good girl! Maybe they'll let you wear your own uniform. And if you earn it, they'll even give you shoulder straps, which is quite an honor!
  Alina winked and noted with a laugh:
  You are the locomotive, I am the carriages,
  There will be a funeral for the girl!
  And again, with great enthusiasm, she winked at the elves. They continued tickling Alik.
  To distract himself from the pain and the deafening laughter escaping from his mouth, the boy decided to think about something else.
  For example, what would have happened if Suvorov had lived longer? What if he had commanded the Allied forces at Austerlitz? On the one hand, victory over Napoleon might have been achieved. But on the other, what benefit would Russia have gained? After all, the Tsarist Empire would not have conquered five territories. And in this sense, Suvorov's extra years would have been of no use.
  It would have been a different matter if Skobelev hadn't been poisoned. In that case, he would have commanded in Kuropatkin's stead and would certainly have smashed the Japanese to pieces. And in that case, northern China and Korea would have become Russian provinces. Skobelev, at thirty-seven, became a general-in-chief and adjutant general. He was compared to Suvorov, and some even considered him even more talented than Suvorov. In any case, Suvorov, at thirty-seven, wasn't even a general yet.
  So, had Skobelev lived longer, he really could have influenced the course of world history. He could even have commanded the First World War. In principle, he had a chance to survive. But such are the missed opportunities Russia may have had.
  Or take Admiral Makarov. He could have been a Pacific Ushakov, and the entire course of world history would have been different. And there would have been no revolution of 1917. And perhaps there would have been no world war. Right?
  And things would be much better then than they are now. The war between Russia and Ukraine alone is simply obscurantism! And the senseless extermination of Slavs. It's no wonder that the most vicious wars are fratricidal ones.
  The elves got tired of tickling the boy. They let him go. Alik stood up. His bare, childish soles itched slightly from the tickling. But otherwise, the mood was normal. The boy even sang:
  Different paths run,
  The child has bare feet...
  They love to tickle them to the end,
  I hope you pass your exam with flying colors!
  I will harness the horse to the plow,
  And fortune awaits me!
  The elf laughed and noted:
  "You're charming guys! We'll meet again, and you'll be given uniforms with numbers, and you'll march with songs and in formation!"
  After which the girls took off, flashing their bare, pink, round heels.
  Alina jokingly chirped:
  We will even go to the toilet in formation,
  With songs and only under escort!
  After which, the two boys and two girls quickened their pace. The adults, now children, truly moved in columns. They were given either striped or orange uniforms and numbers. And forced to march in step, as if in the army. It was like a second childhood for them. Not exactly enviable. But the former elders especially felt at home in their youthful bodies. And the children sang what they were told with great enthusiasm and feeling.
  Alik noted with a smile:
  - Childhood behind bars is better than old age in front of a grave cross!
  Alina confirmed, stamping her bare, childish feet:
  - Youth without money is still richer in pleasures than old age with millions!
  The boy in shorts noted:
  - It's better to be healthy and rich than sick and poor, but if you can't have everything at once, then health is still more important than shiny circles!
  The girl with pigtails said:
  - In childhood, even the wall in a cell arouses curiosity and interest, but in old age even a palace is boring and disgusting!
  Alik added a very witty remark with fervor:
  - Even the body may not age if the soul is young, without falling into childhood, but also without sinking into insanity!
  Alina also spoke out:
  - Everyone loses their body, but only those who have neither soul, nor heart, nor honor, nor basic understanding lose their soul!
  The boy in shorts exclaimed with a smile:
  - It"s good to have strong bones in the body, but it"s worse to have ossified brains in the head!
  The girl with pigtails added wittily:
  - A boxer with a stone chin is a hero, a politician with a stone heart is a scoundrel!
  Alik chuckled and added:
  - The politician fox cleverly covers up the traces of meanness with his fluffy tail and lets voters get away with it!
  Alyonka tweeted:
  - What cobblestone can't be split by any sledgehammer - if it's a heart of stone!
  The children fell silent here... A column of former adults, so radically rejuvenated, marched past again. The boys and girls wore beautiful orange uniforms with numbers, and their bare feet were exposed above the knees. They stamped their feet, smiled, and sang:
  Glory to the new regime,
  What raised us all from our knees...
  For the sake of the strength of the cherub,
  And now you are just a sir!
  
  We used to be old men,
  And they suffered as best they could...
  They became just great guys,
  Joy just from the earth!
  
  The boys are lively now,
  Bare heels run...
  Both boys and girls,
  The man is cool these days!
  
  The parrot elevated us all,
  Made above all people...
  Children, strive for the heights,
  And let the villain be defeated!
  
  Now all the wrinkles have disappeared,
  My back straightened up at once...
  Young men again,
  And Satan is defeated!
  
  The teeth became pearls,
  There are no holes in sight...
  The power of God is with us today,
  Oranges for lunch!
  It's good to be forever young,
  And forget all illnesses...
  Be cheerful, daring, noisy,
  The thread of life will not be broken!
  The barefoot children actually seemed quite content with their lot.
  Alik noted with a smile:
  "It's so nice to have such a young and healthy body! If I weren't a child, I'd be thrilled to be rejuvenated... Although, in my childhood fantasies, I picture myself as an adult, albeit a young one!"
  Alina laughed and noted:
  - Yes, of course, it's wonderful to be forever young! And it's nice to walk barefoot when it's warm, but... At the ball, you want to show off your high-heeled shoes studded with diamonds!
  The boy in shorts nodded:
  "Yes, childhood, as wonderful as it is, can also get boring! And sometimes you long for adulthood. Although for adults, and especially the elderly, becoming young is also great. It's like Pythagoras said..."
  And then the young philosopher faltered, not knowing what the famous philosopher of Ancient Greece was actually saying.
  Alik wanted to throw out some kind of aphorism here too. Something like this:
  - The stronger sex loves maturity in wine, and youth in women!
  But then two beautiful elf girls jumped up to them and chirped:
  - Are you real children?
  The boy in shorts replied:
  - The real deal!
  The red-haired elf remarked:
  "You may have some privileges compared to those who were adults before. But you, too, will have an orange uniform and go barefoot!"
  Alina nodded:
  - It tickles my heel so nicely when I'm barefoot!
  Alik noted:
  - A barefoot childhood is sweet, a shod old age is bitter, but when you are a bast shoe in your mind, you will experience grief at any age!
  The elf frowned:
  - You seem a bit too smart. Maybe you're a former adult?
  The boy genius noted:
  - No! I'm just very capable! Childhood isn't just barefoot; it's also difficult to shoe with adult bast shoes!
  The red-haired elf laughed and remarked:
  - Clever! The young fruit is sour to the tongue, but the way you use your tongue isn't sour!
  Alina added:
  - For food, fresh meat is better, for science, a fresh outlook, for life, a fresh body!
  Alik noticed with a smile:
  - Childhood is barefoot, but it's easier to put shoes on it, literally, and that's if you're not a bast shoe!
  The white-haired elf remarked:
  - They even put shoes on barefoot boys, if the grown-up uncles are not bast shoes by mind, and boots are not an invention!
  The girl with pigtails noted:
  - A child's bare heels are better than an adult's bald head!
  The boy in shorts noted:
  - When your feet are bare, you move more dexterously, but when you have shoes on, you become clumsy even when standing!
  The red-haired elf remarked:
  - Yes, I see you're wise beyond your years. Do you want to join the local administration?
  Alik asked:
  - What do you mean, move documents!
  Both elves laughed. And the blonde replied:
  "Our superiors will decide what to do with you. For now, go for a walk. Do you have a weapon?"
  Alik answered honestly:
  - Only the mind!
  Alina added:
  - Children are smarter than adults, at least in that they splash barefoot through puddles more often, but sit in them with their shoes on much less often!
  The boy in shorts also noted:
  - The fair sex attracts with a bare heel, the stronger sex repels with a bald head!
  The girl with pigtails said:
  - Children love to stomp barefoot on the grass, adults love to stomp their heels on people's brains!
  Alik nodded:
  - If you believe the politicians who wear bast shoes, then you are guaranteed to stretch out your shod feet!
  The elves answered in chorus:
  - Children love sweet powder on their tongues, and adults love the sweet tongue of a politician powdered with brains!
  After which they began to move away.
  CHAPTER No 3.
  Alik noted:
  - Age adds wrinkles and experience, but for the fair sex, the smoother the skin, the smoother things go!
  Alina noted:
  - If a woman wants to climb the mountain, she needs to have smooth, even skin!
  The boy in shorts said:
  - A girl in a short skirt will get a long ruble, with bare feet, she will get fashionable shoes!
  The girl with pigtails noted:
  - The girl's blonde hair helps find the hidden place of the blinded man's savings!
  After which the children burst into laughter. And their laughter was quite cheerful.
  Alik added:
  - A bright head has nothing to do with gray hair, a fresh look with the dampness of ideas!
  Alina agreed with this:
  - Even blondes can have light-colored hair, but their bald head can remain just a ball!
  The boy in shorts agreed:
  - In barefoot childhood, the heels are pleasant and the tickling laughter, but when adults put shoes on, they have troubles, it"s no laughing matter!
  The girl with pigtails agreed:
  - A child is happy even in a children's prison, an old man is unhappy even on an ancient throne!
  Alik, sprinkling aphorisms, noted:
  - Childhood is not a small number of calendar years, but a state of mind with a big heart!
  Alina agreed:
  - It's not a problem that you're young, the real problem is a minimum of brains and a paucity of ingenuity!
  The boy in shorts noted:
  - A child has little life behind him, but much joy of climbing ahead, while an old man has a mountain behind him and only a slope ahead!
  The girl with pigtails noted:
  - Childhood is the happiest time, there is no understanding of life's difficulties yet, but there is already an understanding of fantastic entertainment!
  The children were a little tired of philosophy and aphorisms, although they had given them their all. And they went on their walk. Indeed, the world had changed quickly. Had it become better? At least it hadn't been spoiled by ugly old men and women. And that was a definite improvement.
  Children no older than thirteen slapped around with bare feet that were pleasingly and perfectly shaped. And it looked great.
  Youth is beautiful, after all: smooth, clear skin, no wrinkles, and hair only on the head. It's pleasing to look at. No calluses are visible, and everyone looks smart and well-groomed.
  The children were stopped and scanned several times, apparently to determine whether they were adults or not. Then they were allowed to proceed.
  Alik noted:
  - Yes, childhood really is a happy time!
  Alina stated:
  - Adults always dream of returning to childhood, but at best they relapse into it!
  The boy in shorts muttered:
  - In childhood, everything seems big and interesting, but that's just how it seems, while in reality the pile is sometimes big, but very smelly!
  The girl noted:
  - Childhood is as pleasant as fresh milk, but growing up is like maturing wine, its strength increases with the years!
  After which the children continued on their way, even starting to whistle through their nostrils. Their mood was confident, even upbeat.
  Alik suddenly thought about something else entirely. For example, if the Invincible Armada had succeeded for Spain, what would have happened? Perhaps the United States would have never existed, and the entire course of history would have been different. But without America, scientific and technological progress might not have developed so rapidly. So it's a double-edged sword.
  Then Alik took his bare foot and splashed it into a small puddle. Something emerald splashed out.
  And the boy sang, inspired and composing:
  I remember how the girls and I played,
  On a tablet in a virtual citadel...
  There the attacking units hesitated,
  Into the abyss of byte they were carried away into the distance without a goal!
  
  We erected terrible agreids there,
  And the fighters were boldly stamped out like packs...
  After all, children, don"t just know with your soul,
  The new century has spread out the company's distance!
  
  We will be able to find this dream of light,
  To make the whole world safer and more beautiful...
  Let's create all the beauty in an instant,
  We'll reach the stars and even the galaxy!
  
  Here we go on the attack against Napoleon's regiment,
  Our strength is enormous and there is no end to the battle...
  For the sake of our heavenly laws, believe in them,
  The feat of warriors will be sung!
  
  The sword with hyperplasma cuts decently,
  It can cut through all armor, believe me...
  The boy is capable of studying excellently,
  He is like a furious beast in the school of knowledge!
  
  Children don't have to peck like a woodpecker,
  Capable of breaking through on the first try...
  The boy will say that we have enough cramming,
  Let's learn verbs better!
  
  The monster from hell will go on the attack,
  The boy will meet you with a running sword...
  He will chop off the head of the hundred-headed bastard,
  Afterwards, add bricks to the consumption!
  
  Here we are already in a virtual showdown,
  Where unit sits on unit...
  The boy draws tattoos on his skin,
  Will soon receive a loan on the card!
  
  In general, we don"t need to listen to nonsense,
  Better to play on the computer sooner...
  I believe that the Lord will accept the soul into Eden,
  Just don't read morals!
  
  Here we are on Olympus together with the Gods,
  And they printed it out with byte numbers...
  Children run around barefoot,
  This is what life will be like for us in the future!
  Alik suddenly stopped singing. A uniformed elf struck him with a neural whip. A female troll stood next to her, her hand propped on her hip. Both girls growled:
  - What are you singing about, you brazen brat! Do you think that if you're a real boy, you can do anything?
  Alina answered with a sweet smile:
  - But you must admit he sings well!
  The elf exclaimed:
  - Yes! Almost ultra-stellar! But you're below us and you're not supposed to sing like that. Isn't it clear?
  Alik asked with a smile:
  - How should I sing?
  The elf chirped:
  - That's it! Learn what songs you, young children of the new cosmic, eternal, and beautiful, must sing.
  And the beautiful girl began to sing with feeling and expression:
  The pioneers are glorious guys,
  The first to create a collective farm...
  We were taught to shoot with a machine gun,
  So that children don"t shed tears in vain!
  
  We went to the collective farm to mow hay,
  The work there was hot...
  We walked miles in bare feet,
  The boys now have a string!
  
  God doesn't help pioneers,
  They have Lenin the Almighty Himself...
  Somewhere the carnivorous Cain howls,
  The nightmare bear roared like thunder!
  
  Boys and girls are walking,
  They reaped rye with sickles on the grass...
  It's good on the collective farm in hot May,
  And don't tell us lies!
  
  Let us boys admire the dew,
  What hits our heels...
  With a beautiful girl, barefoot,
  Let us, young men, take flight!
  
  We can do a lot,
  Lenin inspired us to perform this feat...
  The road is wide for boys,
  Warsaw and Berlin are ahead!
  
  Yes, the vile Fuhrer suddenly attacked,
  It was as if the devil from hell was climbing on us...
  But the bald bastard will get a fig,
  It"s no wonder that Stalin is also a demon!
  
  For the guys, all tanks are not an obstacle,
  They fight like those eagles...
  A glorious reward awaits,
  Lenin's great sons!
  
  The Fuhrer's dashing tanks are tearing through,
  And believe me, their barrel is smoking...
  The Komsomol members beat their enemies barefoot,
  Hitler is facing defeat!
  
  The battle is already raging near Moscow,
  The adversary is insidious and cruel...
  A prayer to Ilyich will help us,
  If necessary, the deadline will also come!
  
  Pioneers: boys, girls -
  Rushing barefoot through snowdrifts...
  The Fritzes will face harsh retribution,
  If the young man moves his fist!
  
  Believe us, snowdrifts don"t scare us,
  Believe your bare heels, snow is not scary...
  The pioneer's feet flash,
  The children are starting to run fast!
  
  And now boys and girls,
  They attack the Fritzes with that wave...
  The ringing voice of the pioneers,
  They will clearly deal with Satan!
  
  The fascists won't understand who's killing them,
  The angular Tiger caught fire...
  The boys have a lot of power,
  The torn policeman fell silent!
  
  The boy tossed his bare heel,
  A very destructive present...
  We don't play hide and seek with death,
  The feat of the knights will be sung about!
  
  The barefoot girl is rushing into attack,
  The heel became a rose in the snow...
  We wish for a very strong fight,
  If you are weak, I will help you!
  
  We repelled the fascists from Moscow,
  And they drove away as if with a broom...
  Miles have been added to communism,
  The brightest and most sacred dream!
  
  Glorious fighting girls,
  That they fight in spite of death...
  The voices of beauties are very clear,
  They will bake pies while playing!
  
  And the boy was given this freedom,
  I'm very happy to know, believe me...
  Paying homage to this underground,
  They defended Stalingrad bravely!
  
  What is this very powerful "Tiger" to us?
  This tank is certainly a giant...
  The pioneers sing the lyre,
  We will have a new master!
  
  There is no other for the knight, believe me,
  The boy tied a red tie...
  Yes, for years we are just children,
  Napalm is raining down from the sky!
  
  Stalingrad fights very gloriously,
  The pioneers in it are like fighting lions...
  After all, for us, an example is the most important thing,
  So that grandfathers and fathers can be proud!
  
  We can do everything in this battle,
  Defeat the evil fascists with a joke...
  Singing cool tips,
  As if you were God's child!
  
  The boy saw a nimble "Panther",
  This tank isn't weak, boy, just know that...
  Sometimes we compose things that are not on topic,
  All the same, there will be paradise!
  
  God created people for eternal glory,
  So that Lenin's strength would be...
  For the sake of the new red power,
  A sharp needle pierces!
  
  The boy ran through the snowdrifts,
  And he bravely threw a grenade at the Tiger...
  He will have a bazooka in his backpack,
  So that the possessed Fuhrer would blow away!
  
  You can also solve the riddle,
  How much is just two times two...
  Let's defeat the fascists carefully,
  After all, we have enough intelligence!
  
  The snow is falling and burning the boy's heels,
  He's still a child, but he's a hero...
  The boy does not play hide and seek with death,
  This Fuhrer is a vile pain in the ass!
  
  Here "Panther" got it hard,
  The angular one smokes heavily...
  He kicked the fascist in the face with his bare heel,
  The enemy will be shattered like glass!
  
  There are no impossible goals,
  The brave pioneer proved...
  It's not difficult to defeat the enemy horde,
  This boy showed his courage!
  
  This is why we fought for the Fatherland,
  Every pioneer knows this...
  We will not spare our lives in battle,
  Glory to the saint of the USSR!
  
  The barefoot boy is not afraid,
  Even the most severe frost...
  And I see faces shining from the icons,
  And for us, both Lada and Christ!
  
  Lenin invites us to a new world,
  Where's the free bagel, cream cake...
  Abel wins, not Cain,
  Don't look the loudmouth in the mouth!
  
  Now the fighting is underway near Kursk,
  Even though the enemy is as cruel as a wolf...
  Boys and girls beat bravely,
  They hit right in the cast steel forehead!
  
  Well, the enemy is retreating,
  And in the attack, a barefoot pioneer...
  He believes in victory in glorious May,
  And he will set an example for the warriors!
  
  Somewhere the Fritzes were beating up a Komsomol member,
  They burned the heels with a poker...
  The damned ones tortured the girl,
  They put him barefoot on the coals!
  
  She didn't tell them anything,
  I just laughed in the faces of the monsters...
  What scumbags, you have not suffered enough,
  We'll hang you ourselves on the ring!
  
  The Fritzes shot the Komsomol member,
  And then they threw me into a noose...
  And for this the pioneers gave,
  Because I love girls!
  
  What the Fritzes wanted, they got,
  Hitler was clearly dragged into the coffin...
  We have strongly defeated the enemies,
  They hit the forehead with the power of a projectile!
  
  Yes, for us boys it"s easy,
  To defeat the evil fascists in battle...
  Even though we look small in stature,
  But at least there is school, only five!
  
  Now we have entered Berlin in formation,
  Putting on boots for the first time...
  The boy was a child, became a hero,
  He showed literally the highest class!
  
  We do not mourn for those who fell in battle,
  Their science, I know, will resurrect...
  And they will see the distances of communism,
  Therefore death will conquer light!
  
  And Jesus is not our Lord,
  Lenin, the radiant Lord...
  His will is not forgotten by us,
  Eternal cherub above the planet!
  
  We will achieve victory, I know,
  If there is a war in space...
  The Vedas spoke to our ancestors,
  Satan will take over a third of the worlds!
  
  But we will free them, believe me,
  Let's do something like this - it's a fairy tale...
  In the joy of bliss, like children,
  And let's build a paradise in the universe!
  
  There is no death - you people know this,
  Life is good, believe me...
  And give happiness to your descendants, people,
  May paradise with the Almighty last forever!
  
  That's when the world will be communism,
  The whole universe, the darkness of worlds...
  Eternally, endlessly, the light of life,
  Where there is plenty of great mind!
  
  And now Lenin will rule, I know,
  On the right hand, Stalin is the leader of the fighters...
  We will be able to fix everything in the future,
  Our fellows are like titans!
  
  The USSR is beyond the distant universes,
  There are no boundaries above the very limits...
  And in the name of great creations,
  Glorious pages of this history!
  
  Pioneers, were, are and will be,
  In our happiness there is paradise for centuries...
  Never know, strength will never fade,
  In endless joy a dream!
  After this song, or rather, an entire poem, the children applauded and clapped loudly. The elf noted with a sweet expression that several more beautiful invaders had just arrived:
  - Well then... Now it's time for you to come with us to the temporary detention center. You'll get a nice orange uniform and become a prisoner too.
  Alik squeaked:
  - Maybe we shouldn't! We recognize the new government!
  The elf objected:
  "No! It must be done! All people must be kept under control. As a consolation, know that you will never grow old. And if you perform special services to the empire, perhaps we will allow you to grow up to eighteen, and that will be the highest class!"
  Alina answered with a laugh:
  - Until eighteen? Oh, that's great, the very dawn of youth and vitality.
  Alik nodded with a sweet smile, stamping his bare foot:
  - Yes, eighteen is a good age. But would it be preferable to avoid having to shave?
  The head elf overseer chuckled and asked:
  - So what do you want? A smooth face like a girl's? And does the beard bother you?
  Alik shrugged and replied:
  - No! Not really... But I've watched adults shave and it's a very unpleasant sight!
  Alina confirmed with an energetic nod of her head:
  - Exactly! Such disgusting stubble appears, it stings so unpleasantly!
  The head elf laughed and replied:
  - Well, don't worry about that! We'll make sure you'll be children forever! Unless you do something so bad that your bodies end up in the oven and as fertilizer!
  The boy in shorts exclaimed:
  - This is fascism! To treat people like this!
  The elder elf growled and shook her fist:
  - Talk to me! We spend too much time interacting with children anyway! Maybe we should just incinerate you with blasters! What else can you do!
  Alik said with feeling and expression:
  - I can tell you a wonderful story! So interesting that you'll be captivated!
  Several elf girls exclaimed in unison:
  - But we don't believe you! You people are too stupid to tell us anything interesting! You don't have the guts for it!
  Alik angrily stamped his childish, bare foot and objected:
  - No! That's exactly what I can do!
  The senior overseer giggled and asked:
  "Let's do it this way! You tell us a story. If we like it, we can give you a gift. For example, when you're sent to the juvenile detention center, all the inmates, boys and girls alike, will go barefoot, but you'll be allowed to wear sneakers. Imagine how jealous they'll be!"
  Anya rubbed one bare foot against the other and snorted contemptuously.
  Alik objected:
  - No! I'm not attracted to that! And envy is a bad feeling! It's better to walk barefoot than to catch the angry glances of other boys and girls. Besides, I even like it when my bare feet tingle and tickle!
  The older elf said skeptically, her lips curling ironically:
  - And what do you want, real child?
  Alik answered honestly:
  "I want to visit other planets and see cosmic worlds! Come on, I'll tell you a story, and you'll send me on a journey to see other cities of your great empire!"
  The older elf frowned:
  "You're asking too much! Okay, fine, we can fly together for a day, say to the star Sirius. It'll even be funny to show a human child our greatness. But if you tell us anything uninteresting, we'll beat your bare heels with rubber truncheons!"
  Alik smiled and answered with a sweet look:
  "That even sounds tempting! Bare soles, especially those of children, have a lot of nerve endings. And when you get hit on your bare heels with sticks, it's actually kind of nice!"
  The elves looked at each other and burst into laughter. Then the leader of them said:
  - What could bring both you and yourself pleasure? Okay, go for it!
  Alina exclaimed:
  - I want to travel too!
  Several warriors exclaimed:
  "Then you'll have your own story to tell! And if that doesn't work out, we'll not only beat the children's bare heels with sticks, but we'll also tickle your bare feet with feathers!"
  The girl nodded with a smile:
  - Well, in fairness, let it be so!
  CHAPTER No 4.
  Alik said with a sweet smile:
  - So should I tell you?
  The older elf nodded:
  - Come on! We'll turn on the hyperiPhone and it will show us what you're telling us in a 3D, color hologram!
  And the female officer showed her computer bracelet. She turned it on, and indeed, an image appeared, just like in a movie.
  Alik exclaimed:
  - Wow! Quasar!
  Another dozen elven women and about ten troll females approached. They were all curious to see what the human cub would say.
  Alik coughed to clear his throat and began his rather interesting story:
  A dark pool of blood was spreading under the boy who lay motionless and prostrate.
  Dimka Sokolovsky shattered the sword, now wooden again and once a gleaming steel, into splinters. He dropped the pieces and stood stunned in the street, blinking. His hands were bloody, and what remained of the sword was bloodied. A siren wailed. A summer city street. And police officers rushed up. A baton struck him on the back. Dimka barely audibly said:
  - I surrender!
  They force his arms behind his back and snap the handcuffs into place. The boy feels the pain of the metal embedded in his wrists. He is led to a small van-a black raven.
  Dimka feels a mixture of anger and fear within him. He remembers the past. The island where children fought for their survival with swords. Wooden ones, but when a boy is overcome with rage, they turn into razor-sharp steel. Dimka spent a couple of months there. He fought and fought, was wounded, and wounded himself. He even personally cut down a traitor. It all happened. And in the end, they won.
  It's just a shame the children were left behind on the destroyed ship. And he only managed to escape with his girlfriend. After such adventures, prison didn't seem like much of a country anymore.
  He struck the hooligan boy with his sword and saw him lying down, and a pool of blood flowed out.
  Was the blow really fatal? Dimka's so unlucky, as if he'd had enough troubles before. And if he did kill, then what? Prison? Will they take him to a filthy, stinking cell with criminals?
  And how long will he go to jail? He's only fourteen years old. The law says he can't get more than ten. Maybe everything will be alright!
  It's 1992. A time when there's so much talk about democracy and freedom, but banditry is on the rise.
  The Black Maria stopped and Dimka was led out. A handsome, tanned boy with blond hair like overripe wheat, he didn't look like a bandit, but more like a handcuffed victim.
  Dimka was taken almost immediately to the investigator and the prosecutor.
  They sat me down in a chair.
  The investigator asked a few routine questions and said with a grin:
  - The boy you wounded is dying! So pray to God he doesn't die!
  Dimka answered with a sigh:
  - I didn't mean to...
  The prosecutor handed over the paper:
  "Now that's a confession. Sign it, and you'll be released on your own recognizance until trial. And then, given your young age and lack of prior police records, you'll get a suspended sentence!"
  Dimka looked at the paper and quickly read it, then shook his head:
  - It says here that I attacked a group of teenagers myself. And they were the ones who were attacking me!
  The investigator had a mouse-like face and thick eyebrows, he muttered:
  "Sign as we advise! Otherwise, you'll end up in pretrial detention. We're literally swamped with cases right now, and you'll have to sit there for a very long time before your trial. And there, in a cell, three rows of bunks on planks, a toilet in the corner, and fifty other nervous, hungry boys just like you. All sorts of criminals. And even if the boy you wounded survives, the investigation will last three years, and then another year and then the trial! You'll spend the best years of your life in hell!"
  The prosecutor nodded in agreement and confirmed:
  "Your preventive measure is either detention, or a travel ban, and your mom and dad will pick you up. The choice is yours! And believe me, the juvenile detention centers are already overcrowded, and they'll be happy to give you a suspended sentence. But if you fall out with us, there's definitely a place for you!"
  Dimka sensed the investigator and prosecutor weren't joking. They could indeed rot him in prison. On the other hand, he wasn't guaranteed to be released even if he signed. There were plenty of examples of cops lying. But the main thing was Dimka's stubbornness and obstinacy, clearly evident after his time on the islands of death. And the boy declared decisively:
  - No!
  The investigator growled harshly:
  - What no?
  Dimka said sternly:
  - I won't sign! They attacked me, tried to hurt me with a chain, and it was self-defense!
  The investigator growled:
  - Alright, then! Put him in pre-trial detention, sit there for a week and he'll get smarter!
  The prosecutor nodded and signed:
  - For now, two months of detention. For prisoner Dmitry Sokolovsky. But of course, he could be released sooner!
  The investigator growled:
  - I think keeping him in custody will do the boy good!
  Dimka was led out of the office and taken to jail. Handcuffs and chains jingled, and the boy only had to cross the street. There he was to be received.
  Dimka walked along, chained to two policemen, clanking. He felt pretty awful. Prison, a cell, angry convicts. And he'd gotten himself into trouble by refusing to sign a confession. Then again, there was no getting away from that.
  Dimka was taken to the duty room. Please provide your first name, last name, and patronymic, and any valuables you may have with you.
  Dimka introduced himself:
  - Dmitry Vladimirovich Sokolovsky. There are no valuables... Everything was already confiscated during the arrest.
  The woman shouted angrily:
  - They'll search you naked anyway!
  Then came the search. A police officer and two women in white coats led the boy into a room with mirrors and turned on additional lights. The command followed:
  - Take off your clothes!
  Dimka sighed - a search! I wonder, though, why women? The boy took off his jeans, T-shirt, sneakers, and jacket. He was left in just his underwear.
  A young woman in a white coat remarked:
  - He's well built!
  Here the elf interrupted:
  - Enough! Children shouldn't be told such details, otherwise the book will be subject to age-appropriate ratings!
  Alik smiled and answered:
  - Okay then! Besides, I don't really want to talk about juvenile prison myself. It's entirely possible to end up there myself. Now it's more or less alright in the juvenile detention center, but back then there was the stench, the cruel regime, and the horribly overcrowded cells.
  A dozen elven and troll females approached them. One of them, adorned with jewels and chips, cooed:
  "We have a repeater that transforms your fantasies into movies and moving holographic images. You tell us stories, and we'll show you awesome hypervideo!"
  Alik nodded in agreement and replied:
  - Great! We'll do it!
  The elf girl turned on the playback device, and Alik began to weave another of his stories.
  Four barefoot girls: Elizaveta, Ekaterina, Elena, and Aurora climbed out of the tank... The lopsided T-34 was warm in the May sun. The day had been unusually hot, and the diesel engine added to the heat. The beauties, dressed in Lend-Lease bikinis, plunged into the cool river. You could practically boil yourself in this metal pot.
  The girls were beautiful, sweaty, and shiny. Three blondes and one redhead, Aurora.
  The girls splashed into the silvery water, their bare, round heels flashing.
  The snorting and splashing beauties resembled mermaids with their lush hair and muscular bodies, which had already managed to be covered with a fresh, golden tan.
  Senior lieutenant and tank crew commander Elizaveta remarked cheerfully:
  - We really beat the Fritzes... It's a pity that the fascists cut off our communications, and we received the order to return!
  The beautiful blonde Ekaterina answered breathlessly:
  - I so want summer to never end... I want it to rush after me like a panther!
  Elena, a charming honey beauty, shook her head:
  - But it's only the end of May! Summer hasn't even started!
  The fiery sandal Aurora splashed water on her friends and said:
  - The most golden month... And soon the Fritzes will be kaput!
  Elizaveta frowned at these words. After a relatively successful winter, things had worsened at the front. In Crimea, despite their numerical superiority, the Soviet troops suffered a crushing defeat. And now, the offensive near Kharkov, which had begun so successfully, was failing. The Germans had advanced behind the lines and cut off communications. And now the girls on the tank were forced to retreat.
  But it's still nice when there are only women in the car-they smell so nice, unlike sweaty men. And their crew is so well-coordinated. And the foursome is exceptionally beautiful.
  Elizabeth says decisively:
  "We will win, I know it for sure! Even if we retreat to the Far East!"
  Red-haired Aurora, slapping her bare, chiseled foot on the water, grimaced and responded with a soldier's song:
  "Finally, we've been given the order to attack! To take our lives and blood! But we remember how the sun went backwards and almost set in the east!"
  Ekaterina and Elena answered in chorus:
  -Well said!
  Barefoot Aurora added in prose:
  "The whole of Europe is working for the fascists, plus they have resources in Africa. So we have a very heavy barbell to lift!"
  Barefoot Elizabeth punched the water with her fist:
  - Let's get up and tear it up! Enough now! We've freshened up and are back in the tank!
  The beauties didn't object. The sweat was washed off their strong, tanned bodies, and that was it. The girls had voluptuous hips and narrow waists, and stomachs with defined abs. They truly were like statues of ancient goddesses. And their legs were so slender yet muscular, the balls and steel wires of muscle rolling beneath their olive skin.
  They say about girls like these: she can stop a galloping horse and enter a burning hut!
  Although she didn't want to get back into the hot tank, Elena splashed some water from the bucket onto the armor to cool it down a bit.
  Elizabeth remarked harshly to this:
  How can men in uniform fight in such steel coffins? And we're practically naked!
  Barefoot Aurora, baring her large, pearly teeth, burst out laughing:
  - You must admit, this is a very interesting idea - sending bikinis under Lend-Lease!
  Ekaterina responded angrily, hitting her bare foot against the tank"s tread:
  - Yes, it's wonderful. Minimum fabric consumption, maximum kudos!
  Elena, also twitching, only this time with her chest, croaked:
  - It would be better if they sent an extra tank! Or a plane!
  Barefoot Elizabeth remarked gloomily:
  - Their tanks are crap!
  Red Aurora, climbing the tower, objected:
  - Not quite! The newest Churchill is actually quite good, especially with its armor!
  Blonde Elizabeth frowned and asked:
  - Have you ridden a Churchill?
  The fiery imp whispered back:
  - No! But I just happened to find out that it has 102mm of frontal armor!
  The beautiful Elizabeth rounded her face, tapped her graceful, bare fingers on the armor of the T-34 and remarked:
  - Twice as thick as ours? Well, that's not bad!
  Elena, settling into the driver's seat, asked:
  - And the caliber of the gun?
  Barefoot Aurora answered honestly:
  - I don't know... But most likely either 75 or 76 millimeters. Roughly comparable to ours.
  Barefoot Aurora, settling in as a spotter, noted:
  - So maybe its driving characteristics are worse?
  Barefoot Aurora shrugged her strong, muscular shoulders:
  - Perhaps... But the British already have a 600-horsepower Meteor engine, so I don"t think the Churchill tank is a death machine!
  Beautiful Elizabeth asked another question:
  - What are our latest developments?
  The red-haired devil sang in a gentle voice:
  - It"s a big secret... Do you believe it or not?
  Elizabeth, shaking her bare feet, answered sing-songly:
  "Of course I believe you! For questions like that, you could very well end up in a camp - where the polar bear lives!"
  Barefoot Elena, starting the car, noticed:
  - Rumors are circulating that a monster will soon appear - seven cannons and two rocket launchers like those on the Katyushas.
  Fiery Aurora whistled and shook her head:
  - A monster like that won't even turn around!
  Elena said pompously:
  - But it will hurt so much!
  The T-34-76 roared. I had to raise my voice to be heard over the engine.
  Senior Lieutenant Elizaveta growled:
  "I heard there's a new KV coming soon, with very thick armor and two engines. So the Germans will be screwed!"
  Barefoot Aurora sang jokingly:
  - We'll dig up the tank, it'll start killing at double the rate again, it'll start delivering to the graveyards and you're done for!
  And the whole four of them burst into laughter. The vehicle gradually picked up speed. Despite the T-34's legendary status, it was quite a difficult tank to control. Shifting the gears, in particular, required considerable effort. Strong, barefoot Elena managed, sometimes with the redhead's help. But the gearbox itself could break.
  That's why the T-34 wasn't put into top gear. So the tank moved slower than it could have. And there was a risk that during the day, it would be spotted by the notorious Stukas, the Ju-87, a very dangerous dive bomber.
  Barefoot Elizabeth understood this and hoped to reach the forest faster. Their tank wouldn't be very visible there.
  Barefoot Aurora whistled a tune under her breath. The redhead is always in high spirits, even when she's delivering sad news.
  Natasha recalled the beginning of the war. It happened at noon, when the announcement was made on the radio. But already in the morning, ominous rumors had been circulating. Then the radio announced that Germany had attacked the USSR without declaring war. Immediately, several women burst into tears.
  The mood among the people was mixed. The younger ones, intoxicated by propaganda, were even overjoyed: they thought, we'll overpower the Germans in two weeks and they'll be done for. The older ones, on the contrary, were grieving.
  Elizaveta, too, felt a sense of unease. Her eldest brother had died in the Finnish War, and her middle brother, upon his return, had told her many terrifying tales. In any case, it was clear that the Red Army's standard wasn't as high as propaganda claimed. And that the command wasn't up to par, with many tanks burning like matchsticks.
  The officers spoke of the Germans with respect... After all, they had conquered almost all of Europe. And those of us older remembered the First World War. Back then, the Kaiser's troops reached the Dnieper, and Russia agreed to the humiliating Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
  So, the barefoot Elizabeth was quite upset. She didn't want to bury her loved ones again, much less fight such a powerful enemy as Germany and its satellites. There was little hope for Britain. It was a real shame these carnivorous predators would unite against Russia.
  The first days and weeks confirmed the most pessimistic forecasts. The Germans advanced and took one city after another. Minsk fell within a few days. And Smolensk less than a month later. Elizaveta volunteered for the front. She's a strong and seasoned woman.
  She became a tank driver by accident; she had previously fought in the infantry. The Germans continued to advance. The unit she fought in was surrounded. Natasha made her way back to her own forces and stumbled upon an abandoned tank. Elena was with her, and together the girls managed to get the tank started. They even managed to get it behind the front lines.
  For this, they received medals and were assigned to tank troops. Their training was very brief-just a month and a half. The girls managed to take part in the defense of Moscow.
  It seemed like we were on the brink. The Fritz's advance units could see the Kremlin through binoculars as they entered the capital's suburbs. But then a miracle happened.
  The enemy was not only stopped, but they were even able to launch a counteroffensive. No one had planned this final operation. It was spontaneous, but that made it all the more successful. The Nazis retreated, abandoned their equipment, and literally froze to death in the freezing cold.
  The T-34s demonstrated their superior cross-country ability. The Germans got stuck in snowdrifts, but the "Vityaz" tanks moved forward and routed the enemy.
  After the threat to Moscow was eliminated, everyone thought our forces would continue to advance. And that the Nazis' backs were broken.
  But now everything's different again! Like a scary fairy tale! About shape-shifters! When black becomes white, and white becomes black.
  And now it's gotten much worse. A cauldron has formed from which we have to get out.
  Svetlana leaned out of the tank. The T-34, in addition to its sluggish gearbox, also suffers from poor visibility. This significantly reduces its combat effectiveness. The German T-3 lacks this disadvantage, offering relatively good visibility.
  The girls even climbed into the captured tank, noting the more comfortable crew conditions and the German's superior optics. However, the 50mm cannon is a bit weak, and the shell is three times lighter than the Soviet one.
  The red-haired devil also tried to peek out. But it was too cramped for two girls to see through one hatch. They started pushing.
  Barefoot Aurora growled harshly:
  - This is my place after all! You're the gunner and you should be sitting at the sight!
  Catherine snapped back:
  - On the contrary, I should see everything! And you better know your place!
  The girls began to wrestle. Their muscular, tanned bodies intertwined, their strong muscles straining. Even their bras slipped off from the strain.
  Elizabeth screamed at them, then pulled both of their bare toes, forcing them to calm down:
  "It's not enough that the Germans are eating us up, but we also have to fight you! Save your ardor for the fascists!"
  The girls stopped hugging each other, but turned to the commander in chorus:
  - How can we monitor it?
  Elizabeth made Solon's decision:
  - You will climb out one by one!
  Barefoot Aurora remarked capriciously:
  -And the blonde will cheat!
  Catherine replied angrily:
  - You should keep quiet, you shameless redhead!
  Elizabeth growled:
  - Enough! Or I'll whip your chicken legs! You'll change friends on my command!
  The girls stuck their tongues out at each other and... they were left stuck together in the hatch.
  Barefoot Elizabeth said in a cold tone:
  - You, redhead, sit down, Svetlana remains!
  Fiery Augustine was genuinely indignant:
  "She's been here for a long time! I just showed up! And in theory, I'm the one who should replace her!"
  Elizabeth, raising her voice and letting out a bang, growled:
  - The commander's orders during war are not discussed, but carried out... Or should I whip you?
  The fire-breathing barefoot devil reluctantly hid in the cramped, hot tower, muttering:
  A commander's order during wartime, when bullets are whistling all around! Filled with love and immense value, sacred for Russian soldiers!
  Elizabeth smiled. The conflict was resolved, and soon they would be in the forest, safely hidden. Then the sharp-eyed Catherine suddenly shouted:
  - There's a German in a tank ahead!
  Now that's serious... Elizaveta wasn't so much afraid of a tank battle as she was of the Nazis calling in attack aircraft on the radio. However, there's hope the Nazis won't fly for a lone Soviet tank.
  Although the German was hiding behind a haystack, Ekaterina managed to spot him. It was a T-3, the latest modification with a 60 EL-long barrel. The caliber was the same 50 mm, but the muzzle velocity of the projectile was much higher.
  The previous version of the T-3 could penetrate at a range of no more than 100 meters, and even then, not reliably, head-on. The Soviet T-34 could theoretically reach up to a kilometer, but in practice, it was only about 500 meters. But this time, the chances were almost even. And the Nazi's optics were better.
  Despite the risk, Elena shifted into high gear with her bare heel. The T-34 roared even louder, making her arms stiffen and the tank itself shake. But now they were much harder to hit. The German stood still, waiting for the Soviet vehicle.
  It's easier to hit a stationary target, but when your car is shaking like that...
  Ekaterina descends and, with the help of the bare-legged Aurora, aims and fires the first shot.
  The shell explodes ten meters ahead of the German.
  Barefoot Elizabeth sternly warns:
  - Be careful! We don't have many shells left!
  Ekaterina, casually nodding her fair head, replies:
  - This is just a sighting shot!
  Barefoot Avrona sang mockingly:
  - Tomorrow will be better than yesterday! Tomorrow will be better than yesterday! Hello sunshine!
  Barefoot Ekaterina spoke a little loudly, but clearly:
  - Leave me alone!
  The girl tried to aim again. The German was still far away. It was unlikely that the ZIS-76 gun would penetrate his 50-millimeter armor from such a distance. The Nazi hadn't fired yet, but he was keeping an eye on the target. The T-34's small turret is a small target. It's hard to hit from a distance, especially when the tank is racing at full speed.
  Barefoot Ekaterina hesitated. Should she fire now or later, when she got closer? The T-34 shook as it moved, making it impossible to aim accurately. She had to either stop or get close enough, or better yet, right up close.
  Barefoot Elena says, clenching her fists:
  - For the glory of the holy Motherland!
  Barefoot Ekaterina finally makes up her mind and fires. The projectile spits out of the barrel. The girl follows it with her mental escort.
  Already closer, about a meter and a half away from the German. Considering the T-34's scope was difficult to see, this was a good result. Half-naked Aurora, who had stuck her head out at the moment the shot was fired, barked loudly:
  - Almost there, just a little bit more!
  Catherine muttered angrily:
  - Almost doesn't count!
  The red-haired devil cooed:
  - We'll punch the Führer in the face, he'll get by somehow! We look a little bit crazy right now, a little bit crazy!
  Catherine impatiently nudged the beauty with her foot:
  - If you can, shut up!
  Barefoot Aurora growled:
  - Bricks!
  Finally, the German couldn't take it anymore and fired... The shell whistled past dangerously close to the vehicle. But Fritz missed. What was he thinking? Did he suspect such beauties were in the crew, or was he firing reflexively? The T-3 has a commander's turret and decent visibility. In 1941, this tank became the most widely produced. With its help, the Germans achieved major successes, capturing territory four times Germany's 1937 border in just five months.
  The tank proved its inadequacy, especially against the KV. At the end of 1941, a variant with a longer barrel appeared, and therefore a higher muzzle velocity. The Germans hoped to hit the enemy, even though the T-34 was a problematic vehicle. Sometimes the Russians managed to hit from a distance, and on the move. The enemy had to be swatted like a fly.
  Barefoot Elizabeth, realizing that there is always a chance of hitting the target, whispers:
  - Lenin, the party, the Komsomol!
  A wild thought flashed through my mind: should I turn to God? But a Komsomol member isn't supposed to believe in God. And if He exists, why does He allow all this? Would a caring Creator have allowed such lawlessness? And old age and death, too?
  The nearly naked Elizabeth was perhaps more afraid of growing old and becoming ugly than of death. How unattractive it all is. Indeed, if we assume that man is mortal for the sake of development and progress, then disfiguring people with old age seems somehow unseemly. Where is the creator's aesthetic? Does he really like wrinkled and hunchbacked old women?
  Beautiful Elizabeth couldn't explain this and concluded: God is a human invention! But in reality, there is evolution. And perhaps the time will come when humans will develop to such a level that they will even be able to resurrect the dead! And then those who died in the war will be reborn in the world of bright communism!
  CHAPTER No 5.
  Another German super ace of all times and peoples, Volka Rybachenko, while giving lessons to other pilots, while remaining an eternal teenager himself, continued to compose.
  The Kargs were a very aggressive empire. And they threatened the human united republic.
  Oleg and Alisa raided one of the centers and managed to steal valuable information. But the cockroach hags, as these insects were called, used them to pursue the cyborgs. This time, however, the boys cleverly outsmarted the arthropods. And two powerful robots were attacking their own...
  Now Oleg and Alice turned on the invisibility field and headed towards the small, camouflaged starship.
  Several winged cyborg monsters appeared in the sky. They were visibly trying to locate the fugitives.
  Alice released the hologram with a sweet smile. A space infantry fighter appeared. It gleamed like steel and, cutting through the local atmosphere, headed toward the alien flying structures. Winged cyborgs of the Kargs began firing at it. The beams, of course, passed unharmed by the hologram. Suddenly, it accelerated, and two winged cyborgs slammed into each other, setting each other on fire. Orange flames flared.
  The cyborgs caught fire...
  Oleg released his holographic image. Before that, he and Alice had cleverly disabled the security information systems. They then camouflaged themselves, posing as cockroaches.
  The boy and girl cleverly cracked the passwords and stole the blueprints for a chronohyperblaster capable of transporting objects through time. This deprived the hag-cockroach empire of much power.
  However, things did not go entirely smoothly and the child colonels were chased.
  Oleg even jokingly sang:
  "Well, there's someone wandering around nearby. Looking at your back with a greedy gaze. Who is he really, a predator or a human?"
  Multicolored stones and ornamental stripes fluttered beneath the boots of the special forces children's combat suits. Oleg and Alisa activated their gravity-magnetic backpacks and accelerated sharply.
  And the cyborg flyers were distracted by holograms that confused their plans and threw off their aim.
  But then, on the other side, electric fighters also appeared. Some of them were robots, but a couple turned out to be amusing ramming vehicles.
  The hags didn't look scary, not particularly large cockroaches. Perhaps that's why even children find them easier to deal with, as they're roughly the same size and shape. Oleg and Alisa's group consists of children between ten and twelve years old, seemingly ageless, but becoming more skilled and powerful as they gain experience.
  Oleg was already quite old, but he still looked like a boy, no taller than one and a half meters and weighing forty kilograms, which gave him certain advantages.
  In particular, the gravity scanners recorded him as a hag-cockroach, and it was possible to mislead the insects of the empire rivaling the human republic.
  Oleg released the cuttlefish virus again, through the hologram bubble. The fighter trapped in it began firing desperately at his partner, where the cockroach was located.
  The planes had angular shapes and sparked violently when hit. Now that was real, combat-ready destruction.
  Oleg released a hologram of a dove, which also carried a virus for the sensitive photon processors of the hags' computers. Now that was something truly incomprehensible and piercing.
  The computer bracelet flashed a hologram. Oleg looked up at Captain Mashka, a girl with a golden hairdo. She sang:
  - Let's not make a fuss, you need intelligence in a battle with a hag!
  The cyborg fighters fired at each other. The children, however, remained practically invisible. That's how wonderful everything was going.
  Alice also launched a hologram of the butterfly virus this time and sang:
  The universe is full of fairytale surprises,
  She is magical and extraordinary!
  Filled with quasar beauty,
  Well, you need to be yourself!
  Oleg, this militant boy, chirped:
  - In the holy war, we will win!
  And he released another virus of sub-photons. The kids here are geniuses. And a whole squadron of cyborgs and cockroaches, mixed together, began to smash each other.
  And the young scouts accelerated even more. They acted like true fighters with immense intelligence.
  Alice took it, jerked and chirped lovingly:
  The problem is not difficult to solve,
  We all pass, you know, with an A...
  It is possible to be a child forever,
  This is just a dream!
  Another cyborg appeared, resembling a flying dagger. It sent destructive and deadly beams ahead of itself, capable of burning everything in sight.
  Now the hyperfire swept across the surface, burning and melting the multicolored coating, and sending up new clouds of smoke. The fire truly looked devastating, and gray clouds formed.
  And the cyborg is the size of a good airliner.
  The boy genius chirped:
  - We'll strike you, you mustachioed cockroach!
  And so the boy launched a small non-photonic bumblebee. And it flew away, buzzing silently. And it was both beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
  And then the bumblebee became invisible...
  Alice noted with a smile:
  - And maybe your own plans,
  And the quick-witted Newtons...
  Send the girl to hyperspace!
  After which she stuck out her tongue.
  But the cyborg dagger went and started slashing at its own fighters, piercing them right through. And this turned out to be a truly lethal class.
  Oleg noted:
  "This is truly a special kind of virus. How it retargeted the enemy against the enemy itself."
  Alice chirped, jumping up and down:
  Here it is, annihilation,
  What a sensational fight again!
  Today the girl was a slave,
  And now she has become a cool slave!
  And her sapphire eyes sparkled. She truly is a top-notch beauty, even though she's still a girl.
  And now there's a whole mountain of broken cyborgs scattered around. And a lethal amount of damaged electronic bodies.
  And the children rushed to their starship. They flew into it like a ramrod into a champagne cork.
  After which they sang in chorus:
  The sun is shining over the country,
  Saluting...
  The coolest people in the universe are children -
  There are such people!
  And their spaceship suddenly takes off. More precisely, it's a small, reconnaissance, but very fast boat.
  The boy and girl bumped fists and chirped:
  We are racing across the waves on a starship,
  Quarks foam in the vortices of ether...
  What will I convey to my planet?
  Describe it in Shakespeare's poems too!
  The child scouts emerged from the atmosphere. And before them, they saw countless garlands of stars, sparkling with rubies, emeralds, sapphires, topazes, diamonds, and agates. And it was all so beautiful.
  But there are also powerful enemy starships on duty. As is traditional, they are streamlined and resemble deep-sea fish. Yet they are studded with gun barrels and emitters.
  And the four moons shimmer like silver and platinum in the black velvet of the vacuum. What a sight. And the fifth moon, not round but teardrop-shaped-the flagship of the Karg grand battleship. It carries thousands of large-caliber guns and a host of emitters of various shapes and systems. Plus a force field, albeit not quite perfect. It's currently deactivated to avoid wasting energy.
  The boy-colonel Oleg sang:
  Alice and I are almost supermen,
  We truly believe in victories!
  The girl colonel picked up:
  For us, any sea is knee-deep,
  After all, any mountain is within our reach!
  Their reconnaissance craft flew by, practically invisible. The child geniuses had created a very strong and effective camouflage. But atmospheric turbulence was clearly impossible to hide. And the spaceships opened fire. They pounded the area where the stealth craft was likely to emerge.
  Alice began maneuvering to avoid the hits, while Oleg launched another pre-prepared pulse. This time, it was made of ultraphotons-a more advanced combination.
  The warrior boy whispered:
  - I'm putting the hags to waste,
  My first move, good move!
  The boy released the bee-program, and it leaped out through the emitter. A rocket flared like a supernova next to their invisible boat. It exploded and scorched the surface of the vehicle. Even the inside became hotter!
  Oleg calmed Alice, who had turned red:
  - Don't be afraid! We have a very strong alloy with hyperplasma inclusions on our boat!
  Alice nodded in agreement:
  - Of course I believe you!
  And their boat accelerated. And the bee virus even flew into the flagship's impressive cannon. It shook vigorously. And then a lethal blast of ultralager flew out, striking one of the hag empire's cruisers.
  The blow was devastating. Besides the cockroaches, there were several other mercenary races on board, including land jellyfish, rhinoceroses, and nettle mites. And they suffered a crushing blow from the hyperplasmic club.
  And a great deal of destruction was caused. And the cruiser itself split in half.
  Oleg noted with a sigh:
  Yes, the world is nightmarish and cruel,
  War is, of course, an abomination...
  But I believe in the sprout of goodness,
  And honesty will conquer the lies of light!
  After which, the hags began firing even more vigorously and indiscriminately. And the flagship's largest barrel went off again, this time hitting the frigate, scattering the cockroaches' creation to pieces.
  Alice noted:
  - So you turned on the infection. That's great!
  Oleg nodded:
  - Although it is cruel! Intelligent beings are perishing.
  Captain Natasha's familiar face appeared again. The girl grimaced and remarked:
  - It seems the hags have sent an assault team to us.
  Oleg answered calmly:
  - The battalion's location is well camouflaged, they won't find you.
  Natasha squeaked:
  "Yes, I stupidly revealed our situation. I wanted to remove a pimple that had suddenly popped up on my cheek, and by mistake I pressed the wrong button, and a hyperlaser struck. And the hags detected the energy flash."
  The boy colonel nodded:
  - Don't be the first to open fire, we'll be with you soon!
  Alice noted:
  "Should we switch to hypervelocity mode? But that's risky; the masses of the starships and stars around us are too close."
  The boy replied with a sigh:
  "Looks like we'll have to use a transport spell. Oh well, we've got a full magical energy battery."
  And young Oleg pulled a butterfly-shaped talisman from his backpack. It shook its wings and chirped:
  - What do you command, master!
  The boy colonel ordered:
  - Deliver the boat to the constellation Taurus, planet thirteen, point 398 to 207.
  The butterfly flashed its precious wings:
  - Yes sir, master!
  And the reconnaissance boat flashed like a sunbeam and disappeared.
  Oleg and Alisa felt a strong, warm wind blowing in their faces. But a second later, the magical transition ended. And so their scout boat found itself in the asteroid belt where the children's special forces battalion's base was located. Moreover, most of the fighters are real children, still studying remotely in schools or holding command positions at universities. But Oleg Raketny and Alisa Sokolovskaya only look young, but they are quite old, seasoned fighters and brilliant, if not hyper-genius, designers and inventors.
  Right now, an assault group of hags, mercenaries, and numerous combat robots is moving towards the children's base.
  Oleg licked his lips and noted:
  - We're in for a serious fight! However...
  The boy glanced over. The two grand cruisers constituted the main firepower of the detachment. Oleg noted with a smile:
  - Let's make cyborgs?
  Alice nodded in agreement:
  - The combat viruses are ready!
  A hologram flashed and Pashka's face appeared. A dark-haired, handsome boy with captain's epaulettes muttered:
  - Comrade Commander, give us permission to engage the enemy! The guns are ready!
  The boy colonel said sternly:
  - Only on my command!
  And he released his holographic, portable virus, and Alice released hers. They had gifts ready in advance, so as not to waste time on the production and debugging of cyberwarfare strike systems.
  Yes, an experienced couple who can do a lot. And they're quite knowledgeable about nanotechnology. They even hold the title of secret grand academicians. Although the children's appearance...
  Arkasha showed up... He's also a very smart boy. A genius among geniuses, but he's still a bit inexperienced-a mere twelve years old. But he's got the talent, and he, too, launched a hologram virus into the assault team. In this case, it's an ordinary-looking tennis ball.
  The boy sang:
  - Let's hit harder,
  Let's pull together!
  And now three winged and virtually invulnerable viruses are flying at once, damaging the electronic system.
  Alice noted with an ironic smile:
  When in the tropical spring,
  Night has fallen, as it should, winged...
  Above the beaten, maddened crowd,
  Someone shouted: "This witch is to blame!"
  Holograms of the colorful heads of special forces children appeared: there were roughly equal numbers of boys and girls. They had very cute faces, the boys with neater, shorter hair, while the girls had longer hair and a clear desire to be more extravagant.
  The holograms were jumping and the guys were squeaking:
  - Great! We want to fight! Let's have a war!
  Alice sang in response:
  Anyone who is a man is born a warrior,
  So it happened - the gorilla took a stone...
  When the enemies are legion without number -
  And in the heart a flame blazes hotly!
  Oleg continued with aplomb:
  The boy sees a machine gun in his dreams,
  He prefers the tank to the Limousine...
  Who wants to turn a penny into a nickel?
  From birth he understands that force rules!
  And at that moment, the grand cruisers, having been infected with a cyber virus, began firing at smaller starships.
  But the Arkashi virus went and infected the frigate's chassis, and the spacecraft started spinning like a top.
  The children burst into laughter. It really was so funny, and they started pointing.
  One boy of about ten years old shouted:
  - What are we standing there for? Let's shoot!
  Oleg shouted:
  - Yes, you can already! Show yourself!
  And so the team rushed to the guns. Confusion broke out among the ranks of the cockroaches and mercenaries. And then the shooting began, simply incredible.
  Some children launched miniature rockets into battle, each the size of a chicken egg, but with thermoquark charges inside. And so began the witch's aggressive and combative fun.
  Alice noted, watching the grand cruisers shoot at their own, and the cockroaches and nettle mites suffocate, unable to cope with the electronics that had gotten out of control.
  It's really not funny. The girl can see everything perfectly well through the scanners.
  This is how ticks and cockroaches actually get sick. And they sweat blood.
  Alice cooed:
  Our strength is great, great,
  Let's curb the fool, the fool!
  Oleg replied, shaking his head:
  - But this is not true,
  The enemy is not a fool at all!
  The grand cruisers fired at their own ships quite accurately. And they began to return fire, firing in retaliation.
  At the same time, the child special forces also inflicted damage. The small thermoquark-filled missiles they launched reached their targets and hit the assault brigade. They created flashes and caused significant damage.
  The children squealed with delight. They were natural fighters, and when they fought, they fought with all their hearts. Although this wasn't the preferred fistfight, it was at a distance. But that was also delightful.
  Arkasha noted with a smile:
  - Now let's try something smaller.
  Small, poppy-seed-sized particles of antimatter flew at the enemy. They pierced the vacuum and struck like lethal shot. They burned through the enemy's armor, crippled vehicles, and wrecked them with their cockroach-infested claws.
  The boy captain with a fancy oval-shaped hairdo sang:
  Hold me, straw, hold me,
  When there is a force fifteen storm around...
  Hold me, straw, hold me,
  The force scattered the enemies into quarks!
  Arkasha stuck his tongue out and remarked:
  - And you, Natasha, are really a good girl - you arranged such entertainment!
  The girl laughed and said:
  - Yes, I can do it!
  She shook her seven-colored hairdo and pressed the joystick button with her pearl-tipped finger.
  And she hit the enemy boat with a laser cannon. The gravity beam literally crushed the enemy structure. And then total destruction from the superheat began.
  Natasha cooed:
  A cockroach with an unclean soul,
  Don't argue in battle.
  A girl with the soul of an artist,
  Endless love!
  Her partner Masha chirped:
  I'm burning, I'm burning,
  I want to become a star again...
  There will be a place for the girl in paradise,
  Don't give a damn about problems!
  And the girl also started tapping her fingers on the keyboard. It all looked quite funny. Childhood is a wonderful time. And especially if you're not only studying but also serving in the children's special forces.
  Oleg and Alisa launched another virus. This time, they targeted a holographic dragonfly. It flapped its wings in the vacuum and took off at full speed.
  It looked so beautiful and rich.
  The children also added blobs of hyperplasm to the fire. They flew out and were as nimble as the sun's corona.
  And they caught the cockroaches in the most inconvenient places. This really turned out to be incredibly tasty and awesome. Captivated by a taste for destruction.
  The first to launch the blots was Pashka, who was already quite a seasoned fighter despite his youth. He somehow managed to prevent a catastrophe on Pluto. He was there with Alisa. And the children took a huge risk. But in the end, they found the main villain, a professor from the heron-rooster hybrid race. Yes, there are such idiots.
  Pashka noted with a smile:
  You have wax on your neck,
  There's a blot under your nose...
  The abomination of a cockroach's hand,
  That even the trousers ran away!
  The special forces kids giggled in response. It really was an extremely funny performance. Well, you can't argue with that.
  Now other cruisers have become infected with viruses and are starting to attack their own targets. This is a real insect purge.
  Alice noticed, baring her teeth, which were so white and sharp, like those of a predatory weasel:
  Humanity has iron technology,
  Certainly necessary and very useful...
  But, for me, the miracles of the people are more pleasant,
  The tablecloth is self-assembled, the shoes are fast!
  Oleg answered seriously:
  - That's exactly it! We have both magic and technology. It's just like in a good ancient movie!
  Alice asked with a smile:
  - Do you know these times?
  The boy colonel nodded:
  - Of course, I know!
  The girl colonel replied:
  - Yes, we've been there. And you can't argue with that!
  The special forces children continued to fire at the enemy, both cunningly and indiscriminately. And it was a very brutal attack.
  The young warriors sang in chorus, showing their character;
  My planet: groves, gardens, fields,
  The view opened up to a view of wondrous beauty!
  My land is harsh and yet vulnerable,
  Velvety moss, bushes covered with roses!
    
  Nightmarish, unimaginable sounds,
  The trumpet of Armageddon sounds!
  Torments have fallen upon our land,
  The planet is taking on a creepy appearance!
    
  The elements are cruel in their fury,
  The sun gave light, well, and now fire!
  And the times have come that are fatal,
  The child's palm feels the heat!
    
  Between the fallen yellow leaves,
  Smoke billows out, spreading the smell of soot!
  Tears of sweet women flow like a stream,
  A terrible, hellish king has come to Earth!
      
  The coldness of the world is against nobility,
  And upon impact, read a psalm with prayer!
  Kindness gives us superiority,
  Let courage and honor be together!
  CHAPTER No 6.
  The Karg starships suffered increasing damage. The children's special forces fought a brutal yet highly intelligent battle.
  The young warriors fought desperately and daringly, demonstrating incredible and truly awesome skill. And now they're demonstrating their outstanding abilities.
  Oleg Raketny released another hologram and the hypervirus sang:
  Zeros won't arrive on the computer,
  Do not spare life for the truth,
  We guys in this life,
  Only with the truth on the way!
  Alice picked up the song of her eternally youthful partner:
  And the battle continues again,
  The fire of hyperplasm is boiling...
  Rocket is so young -
  Deals the killing blow!
  The child special forces are, as always, in combat and aggressive. They're attacking the hag-roaches from a distance and so far, they haven't suffered any losses. And what about the children? They're the finest creations of a republic that has spread across almost the entire galaxy, where not only humans but also other races live together.
  Margarita, a lieutenant, also launches her own weapon. It's a simple water bottle, but upon reaching its target, it's capable of disabling a significant portion of the enemy's equipment on a medium-class ship.
  Captain Natasha noted, winking at her partner:
  - What kind of water is this that it disables enemy ships so much?
  Margarita, the child prodigy, explained:
  "Its molecules are linked to nanobots! And this wonderful and unique viral hybrid is created."
  The boy captain Arkasha nodded his bright head:
  - Yes, this is generally wonderful! We've made a wonderful thing! So, believe me, these cockroaches will get what they deserve!
  Natasha, the mischievous girl with her seven-colored hairdo, chirped:
  The sinful cockroach will get his due,
  It will be like a spider burning in fire...
  They will torment the bytes in the underworld,
  Those who wanted to harm the Earth!
  Captain Masha noted with a sweet smile:
  - This is, of course, funny! Even ultra-pulsar!
  And the girl gave a telepathic command to the gun. And then it went and hit the hag. Or rather, the cruiser. And it hit the turret very well, right in the butt, and broke off part of the armor.
  Natasha squeaked:
  - Quasar Maha!
  Pashka the captain confirmed:
  - Hyperpulsar!
  And the children chorused, baring their teeth that sparkled like pearls:
  We will go into battle boldly,
  For the cause of light...
  And with a laser sword,
  Fight for it!
  Meanwhile, Alice and Oleg saw reinforcements coming to the assault group, led by a grand battleship. A massive ship, crammed with electronics. Its devastating central cannon could shatter a good asteroid into tiny fragments. It was very large and computer-controlled.
  A boy and a girl-both cyber-geniuses-launched a hologram of the crane hypervirus at the enemy. And it was a powerful, lethal weapon.
  Oleg took it and sang with aplomb:
  Well done, well done, you showed your strength,
  Being friends with her is like playing with a crocodile!
  And so the crane flies toward the target chosen by the superchildren. That's the real principle: beat your enemy with his own weapon. And use the method of a pile that breaks through concrete.
  Alice asked the boy:
  - Remember the Second World War, where one dwarf was able to make a Tiger II weighing only thirty tons, with the same armor thickness, only with greater slopes, a height of one and a half meters, similar armament, but with the speed of the Mongoose.
  Oleg nodded in agreement:
  "Yes, it was the dwarf who caused the problems. Because of him, the tank turned out to be very cool and practical. In response, we had to create the IS-7 tank with the same armor thickness, armament, and engine as the Soviet one, but weighing thirty-two tons. And it turned out to be a worthy response!"
  Alice laughed and said:
  "Yes, that really did turn out incredibly cool. But look at how our hyperviruses affect the enemy."
  And indeed, the grand battleship turns its main gun and slams into the cruiser, shattering it. And it's truly a mighty blow from a deadly club. And how the aggressive and extremely destructive hyperlaser burns.
  Alice answered with a cynical smile:
  - My cosmic power...
  Oleg corrected the girl:
  - Our phenomenal, cosmic power!
  And again, the grand battleship will strike, and release a truly deadly and unique cascade of super-energy, utterly beautiful-all the colors of the rainbow glowing. And it will actually flare up like a supernova, spreading like a fiery bubble through the vacuum.
  Alice, with a dazzling smile of an eternal girl, noted:
  -That's how you fight a wedge with a wedge, and an enemy with an enemy!
  Pashka's hologram flashed, and a strong boy with a powerful neck sang:
  - I have an enemy,
  There is strength and pressure...
  But I am in the skin of a bull -
  That's the whole conversation!
  The boy Arkasha supported the playful tone:
  I miss again,
  I miss again,
  Although the goal is close,
  The last of my strength,
  The last of my strength -
  Gathered for the throw!
  Meanwhile, Oleg Rocketny unleashed an even more powerful and prolific cuttlefish virus. It streaked the vacuum with blobs of magical hyperplasma. It looked impressive and aggressive. Now that was a true ultra-flow. It literally swept everything away and blinded everyone.
  The boy genius sang:
  - For the glory of our holy homeland,
  We will fight cockroaches...
  Although sometimes with this unearthly melancholy,
  We knights have always known how to fight!
  The cruisers and battleships were truly churning, firing at each other with all their guns, showering each other with shells, missiles, and radiation. And it was literally scorching everything around. Turrets were melting, gun barrels were twisting into ram's horns. And searing, destructive flames danced. And everything was constantly flashing and sparking. And cockroaches were literally roasting like kebabs. And chunks of insect flesh appeared.
  Alice noted:
  - This looks very cruel, my hero!
  Oleg laughed and replied:
  The world is based on violence,
  The volcano of rage lashes out with full force...
  The highest tension of forces -
  It can only be known through pain and fear!
  Natasha, this girl with a seven-colored hairdo, yelled:
  - No need for pain and fear! I'm perfectly willing to live in paradise right now!
  Alisa Sokolovskaya logically noted:
  - Nothing comes for free, not even paradise. And without war, you have to admit, it's even boring.
  Natasha sent a deadly gift of a computer virus at the enemy, and a deadly stream of destructive programs fell upon the enemy.
  And the hag starships began firing at each other with even greater confidence. It looked utterly grotesque. These were deeds... and deeds of death, some kind of transfers and computer hacking.
  Oleg recalled that they once fought in the ancient world. So they adjusted history a bit. They met three tumens of Mongol-Tatars along with Alisa on the Kalka River.
  Then the kids pulled out laser guns powered by thermoquark fusion. And they fired them at the horde. There were about thirty thousand of them Mongols, all on horseback. Well, not that many. The Russian princes could easily have defeated them, if not for their stupid rivalry and mutual set-up. Well, well...
  The guys decided to correct their ancestors' mistakes. And they fired high-powered lasers.
  And instantly, hundreds of enemies were mown down, as if a cultivator had cut through grass. It was a truly devastating blow.
  Alice, firing, watched as Genghis Khan's regiments perished. How the frightened horses bucked, throwing the nukers onto their backs. And how the most important Khagan, caught in the crossfire, was literally charred. And turned to ashes.
  Alice noted:
  - And you and I, Olezhek, are monsters!
  The boy commander, firing a hyperplasmic eruption from a laser machine gun, logically noted:
  - And without violence, goodness cannot be achieved! Especially when it comes to protecting the weak from the tyranny of the strong!
  Alice said with fury:
  Good must be with a machine gun,
  Strike like furious steel...
  To split the atom for good,
  And like a bird it will rush into the distance!
  And she threw an annihilation grenade, accelerated by a gravity magnet. It slammed into the thick of the Mongol and Tatar nukers. A brilliant flash erupted. And then a swirling mushroom cloud appeared. Thousands of Mongol horsemen vanished at once, and the survivors fled in terror.
  Now the girl Alice and the boy Oleg had practically finished the battle. And the surviving starships of the intelligent cockroaches were escaping. And this was an extremely cool feat.
  Oleg Raketny noted:
  - Now get going!
  The children decided not to pursue the surviving starships. Firstly, there weren't many of them, and secondly, the cockroaches wouldn't be back for a long time. So they could relax and take their time changing the base's location.
  Natasha, this restless girl with a seven-colored hairstyle, took it upon herself to suggest:
  - Let's have a feast!
  Masha agreed with this:
  - Yes, that's right! We've killed so many intelligent beings, and not just cockroaches, that we're already getting sick to our stomachs. Let's feast instead!
  Boy captain Arkasha agreed:
  - Yes, food is the best thing in the world. We'll definitely have fun!
  Petka added:
  - Entertainment is a passion! No matter the power!
  The girl lieutenant Olga chirped:
  - We can unwind too.
  The child warriors flocked to the large hall, which expanded noticeably.
  The young warriors didn't waste time. They turned on their scanners and tables appeared. And then a direct portal to the Hypernet.
  Indeed, any matter is a special form of energy. And any energy is also a form of matter. Therefore, through the Hypernet, one can obtain virtually any product, including food. Moreover, almost all types of food are free for children.
  And this must be said in a very progressive way. Indeed, why pay when the future of the world is at stake?
  And so, a couple hundred children's special forces soldiers settled into inflatable chairs. There they relaxed and kicked off their shoes. Then Oleg turned on the Hyperinternet portal.
  And as if from a cornucopia, delicious donuts, cheesecakes, vareniki, candies, cakes, gingerbread and other tasty and appetizing things poured out.
  Natasha, shaking her seven-colored hairdo, noted:
  - Delicious!
  Masha noticed:
  - And it's pleasing to the eye!
  Some of the cakes were quite ornate. Beautiful concoctions, like snakes and roses, turtles and mimosas, and a chocolate camel with a crocodile head. They were simply magnificent and inimitable.
  Arkasha noted with a smile:
  - It's really lovely and at the same time it's tongue-twisting!
  The child warriors sitting at the table laughed. There were cakes in the shape of ancient sailing ships, or horsemen and women on horses, unicorns, and cheetahs.
  Meanwhile, the two boys, having shed their combat suits and remaining in only their swimming trunks, donned soft boxing gloves and went out to fight.
  The child fighters were muscular, their abs like chocolate bars, their chests like two shields, their veins visible. Such youthful, bronzed Apollos.
  One boy is red-haired, the other is fair-haired - Borik and Yorik - fist fighters.
  The other children began placing bets. It was extremely exciting. Oleg bet on the fair-haired Yorick. And Alice on the red-haired Borik. Both boys bowed first to the audience, then to each other. And then the duel began.
  Both boys, no older than twelve years old in appearance and weighing only forty-five kilograms of dry muscle mass, began to shower each other with punches from fists in soft, rubber gloves.
  They, as befits lightweights, threw a lot of punches, but they mostly stayed on the defensive. And it was a heated showdown.
  Alice noticed:
  "Boxing is a noble sport, but it's also a rough one. And it's not particularly interesting when the fighters are evenly matched!"
  Arkasha remarked with a chuckle:
  - It's not particularly interesting... But in its own way, it's beautiful, even though it does involve blows to the head...
  Petka sang:
  - Hit, hit, hit again!
  Another blow and here it is,
  We demonstrate God's gift -
  The uppercut lands!
  Borik kicked Yorick with his bare foot. Yorick responded with his own kick. Now that was a real fight. And a very tough one at that.
  The boys hit each other with their hands and feet.
  Oleg Raketny noted:
  - This isn't boxing anymore, it's kickboxing. Well, that's interesting too.
  Alice noticed:
  - Should we encourage cruelty in young souls?
  The young colonel replied:
  - Life is full of cruelty! Alas, such is the universe!
  The girl colonel agreed:
  "Unfortunately, there's a lot of cruelty. There was a time when Soviet science fiction writers believed that wars were impossible given the high level of technological development. But as we can see, they were gravely mistaken. Space wars continue."
  Arkasha noticed with a sigh and sang:
  Let us enjoy peace without evil,
  Although it"s hard to believe such a thing...
  The children will play and laugh,
  And we will perhaps achieve immortality!
  Vitka noticed with a sweet childish smile:
  - It's boring without war. What are the most popular children's games? War games, of course!
  The boys who were beating each other were sweating, and their bronzed skin glistened as if drenched in olive oil. They were handsome boys. And their bare feet flashed with the blows, sharp and swift.
  The children squealed with delight, even when a bare heel hit one of them in the chin. And Borik staggered. That was great.
  Natasha took it and sang:
  Blow, blow, blow and here,
  I see trouble ahead...
  Boxing is not a fight, it's a sport,
  To serve the country!
  The girl Zoya squeaked:
  - We don"t have a country, we have a space empire!
  The girl Katya corrected:
  - Not an empire, but a republic!
  Zoyka objected:
  - It doesn't matter whether it's in the forehead or on the forehead!
  And the boys and girls sang in chorus:
  Great light of the empire,
  Gives happiness to all people...
  In the immeasurable universe -
  You won't find anyone more beautiful!
  
  With precious tassels,
  From edge to edge...
  The empire spread out -
  Mighty Saint!
  
  By the evil dark force,
  The shield of faith cannot be pierced...
  The empire is huge -
  Defeat the evil hags!
  Oleg Raketny noted:
  - Well, you sang quite well. And your voices are full-bodied and beautiful. Now listen to my wise thoughts!
  And the boy-colonel began to utter winged aphorisms, which spoke of his genius;
  Politics is full of foxes and wolves, even the occasional lion, but it's pure swinishness that rules the roost!
  A politician uses expensive cologne to hide the smell of a goat, and acts like a pig under the guise of luxurious perfume!
  The politician tries to pass off his grunting as the trill of a nightingale, and the stench of a goat as the scent of a rose, but verbal chaff cannot hide his swinishness!
  The king wants to have a servant with the loyalty of a dog, but mangy dogs often play dirty tricks on their subjects!
  Politicians dream of the lion throne, but are unable to move away from the trough without causing trouble for the voters!
  Not every politician speaks like Cicero, not everyone will receive Caesar's throne, but anyone can betray like Brutus!
  A politician is someone who hasn't reached the level of Cicero's talent, a failed Caesar, and who succeeds in the role of Brutus only in meanness!
  A politician is that kind of nightingale whose song does not caress the ears, but hits the brain!
  A woman's favorite instrument is the flute, a man's favorite instrument is the drum, and a politician's favorite instrument is a hammer for beating people's brains!
  The politician takes off his hat to make it easier to nag voters!
  A politician is ready to take off not only his own hat, but also the heads of all voters in order to put on the crown!
  A politician has the polite speech of a nightingale, often combined with a desire to put a spanner in the works!
  A politician, emptying the pockets of voters so that the emptiness is not so noticeable, is playing a serious dirty trick!
  How hard it is to carry a pig in an empty pocket!
  A politician is a pig that would be nice to skin, but to get lard, piggishness alone is not enough!
  In politics, the most important action is subtraction and division; if voters gain anything, it"s only a pig in their pocket!
  You can't get drunk on honey from the lips of a politician, you can't get full from a pig placed in your pocket!
  You can't scrape the meat off the pig that a politician puts in his pocket, and you can't make a drink from the sweet honey of a politician's speeches!
  The less weight a politician has, the more he screws over voters!
  A politician is a big pig, but he gains real weight when combined with a fox!
  A politician is not always as bloodthirsty as a crocodile and lustful as a cat, but he will definitely make a mess, even if he is a lamb at heart!
  The politician promises to fill the refrigerators with food, but the voter gets nothing but pork!
  A politician is a chef whose menu includes: noodles on the ears, a hole from a donut, birch porridge, soup with a cat, and pork slipped into a pocket!
  If you don't want a politician to leave you with nothing, hit him on the snout!
  A politician, being a pig, has a snout and sells out voters for a pittance!
  The politician wants the dictator's throne, but he himself acts under the dictation of the fox-prompter, and cannot outplay the skilled actor!
  A politician often changes costumes, even more often masks, but his hands remain dirty and he cannot hide his pig's snout and fox's tail from voters!
  A politician is a fox who puts on sheep's clothing, hides wolf fangs and donkey ears, sings like a nightingale, and makes a lot of pigs!
  The politician considers himself a very wise owl, but in reality the only thing he and she have in common is that they have poor vision in the dark and poke their noses into the oak tree trunks of voters!
  A dictator is a ferocious boar, he makes a big mess, but a cunning fox will turn him into a barbecue!
  The dictator thinks of himself as a lion, but he is cunning like a fox and behaves like a pig, spewing verbal diarrhea!
  A dictator is a fox who plays pigs with a lion's scope and commits a pig on the scale of an empire!
  The goal of a politician is to become a dictator, to make a pig out of himself while sitting on the throne, but such a boar will be turned into lard and eaten alive by hungry dogs, unless the politician turns into a fox!
  A politician does not have to be Cicero and Spinoza to be successful, but he does need to master the techniques of Judas and Brutus!
  A politician claims to be the Lord God, using the methods of Judas and crucifying voters, collecting silver coins in his pocket!
  A politician is a pig who, unlike an animal, grunts sweetly and disguises bad odors with expensive perfume, but is much more of a pig!
  The dictator loves to cast his marshal's profile in bronze, but his glory will melt like a tin soldier in a fireplace!
  A politician promises alms to everyone, but gives a stone to a beggar and a pig to a voter!
  The politician is himself a pocket pig, and he puts a pig in the voter"s pocket!
  Even a pig doesn't shit where it eats, but a politician shits the most at his own trough!
  The dictator has weight on the throne, and the wolf in sheep's clothing has succeeded in robbery!
  A dictator, like any politician, most often uses a long tongue to strangle, but for good deeds he has short arms!
  A politician, like a chameleon, camouflages himself to the terrain and has a long, sticky tongue, but his prey is not always the size of a fly, but usually has the intelligence of an insect!
  A politician is poisonous like a cobra, like a boa constrictor he strives to swallow everyone whole at once, like an eel he is cunning and dodgy, but he will definitely crawl into any hole!
  The politician claims to be a lion, but always with petty and piggish habits!
  With the strength of a lion and the intelligence of a fox, the empire will be born again!
  The dictator loves to bully in order to put the voter to work, and to really screw them over!
  A politician sometimes likes to drink bitter vodka, but streams of drunken eloquence do not make life sweeter!
  Prostitutes are not allowed into decent houses, but a political prostitute will make her way anywhere!
  If you elected a pig as your ruler, don't be surprised that the people were allowed to have a barbecue!
  If you believed the fiery speeches of a pig-bashing politician, you'll be roasted for shashlik!
  In the fiery speeches of the dictator, the voter burns like a moth!
  A politician's fiery speeches won't warm the house or light the fire, but you'll get burned and lose three skins!
  The more fire a politician has in his speech, the more the blood runs cold with horror!
  A politician's fiery speech in battle will not replace a flamethrower, but it will leave hearts cold with longing, not only among enemies!
  The politician spews fiery speeches like a dragon, but unlike the fairy-tale monster, his head doesn"t cook for seven!
  A dictator is a dragon, only he doesn"t have seven heads, but a million masks!
  The army is for the people, not the people for the army!
  The politician dreams of war, but only knows how to trade in trophies, and not his own, but imported ones!
  The politician wants to command everyone like a lion, but only gets to screw over some people like a pig!
  The politician promises everyone free cheese in a mousetrap, and free meat in the form of a slipped pig!
  Free food from politicians is noodles on the ears, cheese from a mousetrap, soup with a cat, a hole from a donut, birch porridge, cabbage soup with a bast shoe, and third-freshness pork slipped to you!
  CHAPTER No 7.
  Oleg, looking at his team, remembered one of the special forces missions in time.
  In a parallel universe, Hitler did not attack the USSR in 1941, but continued his offensive against Britain in Africa and the Middle East. Stalin maintained a friendly neutrality, and the Wehrmacht first defeated the British in Egypt and then occupied the Middle East. Then came the Japanese attack on Peru Harbor and the seizure of Asian territory.
  And German troops entered India. And then advanced through Africa.
  Well, it's a typical situation when you're fighting not on two fronts, but on one. And there's nothing to stop you.
  After the conquest of Africa, the air offensive against Britain began. The more powerful and sophisticated Ju-188, which possessed great power and strength, was brought into play. And the Focke-Wulfs, with their overwhelming might... And in 1943, the ME-309, a formidable single-seat fighter, entered production.
  It took the Germans no more than a year to capture Africa and the Middle East, including India. And half of the 150 divisions aimed at the USSR were enough. But the Führer sensed that Soviet Russia was not as weak as it seemed at first glance and decided not to attack in 1941. He decided to first gather all his resources and forge a powerful weaponry sledgehammer. And Britain shouldn't be left in the rear, either.
  Stalin, however, remained rather passive. And then the invasion of Britain began. It proceeded relatively smoothly, taking only ten days. Johann Marseille distinguished himself in aerial combat, and for shooting down three hundred aircraft, he became the first soldier of the Third Reich to receive a second Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Silver Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds.
  After Britain's fall, the United States sued for peace. It's true that they were being beaten by the Japanese in the Pacific, and Operation Icarus, the capture of Iceland, had been far too easy. Hitler managed to wrest some aircraft from the United States and agreed to peace. Johann Marseille received another medal for shooting down 400 aircraft: the German Eagle with Diamonds. And that's quite an honor.
  A relatively peaceful period followed. But Hitler was preparing to attack the USSR. A whole family of tanks was created: the Panther, Tiger II, and Lev. They were very similar to each other and differed more in size, gun caliber, and armor thickness. The Panther had a 75-millimeter gun and a 70-liter barrel, the Tiger II had an 88-millimeter gun and a 71-liter barrel, and the Lev had a 105-millimeter gun and a 70-liter barrel. These vehicles also differed in weight and armor thickness. Naturally, the Panther-the lightest at 43 tons and with a 700-horsepower engine-was nimble and had good ergonomics. The Tiger-2 turned out to be much heavier - 68 tons, and with the same 700-horsepower engine, it naturally had worse performance and more breakdowns. The Lev tank weighs ninety tons, but its 1,000-horsepower engine also has worse performance, is more difficult to transport, and is also prone to breakdowns. The Panther's armor thickness - the front of the hull is 80 millimeters, sloped, and the sides are 40 millimeters, slightly sloped. The turret's front is 100 millimeters thick, and the sides are also 40 millimeters, sloped. The frontal armor more or less withstands fire from the most common Soviet 76-millimeter gun, but the side armor is weak. It can be penetrated by both 45-mm guns and anti-tank rifles. So, the tank certainly has its problems, but it is nimble, reaching a top speed of 55 kilometers per hour on its chassis. The Tiger-2's armor is much better. The hull's front was 150mm thick at the top and 120mm thick at the bottom, sloped at 50 degrees, and the sides were 82mm thick, also sloped. This tank could withstand shots from all Soviet mass-produced anti-tank guns frontally, and the sides could withstand most guns, including the 76mm gun and T-34s. The "Lev" was even more heavily protected. Its frontal armor was 150mm thick, both upper and lower, and the hull sides were 100mm thick, sloped. The turret front and mantlet were 240mm thick, and the sides were 100mm thick. This very well-protected vehicle was simply superb.
  The Maus family is a separate topic.
  You can continue looking at tanks and planes forever.
  In short, on May 15, 1944, the invasion of the army of the Third Reich and the coalition, as well as foreign and colonial divisions, began.
  And from the east, Japan struck. And what's most disgusting is that the United States also entered the war with the USSR. They, too, wanted to gain territory.
  The first echelon consisted of twelve million German and foreign soldiers.
  It was a huge force, with tanks and aircraft, including jets.
  Superior enemy forces broke through the defenses of the Soviet troops.
  And they moved forward.
  But on the approaches to the city of Minsk they were met by a battalion of pioneers.
  Three hundred boys and girls were diligently digging trenches.
  The children worked barefoot. Their little feet were dusty, and their bare soles cut into the shovel handles.
  Roses were already blooming profusely on the bushes around them, and May beetles were swarming. The pleasant scent of spring herbs filled the air. And the children's nostrils were tickled.
  The boys had taken off their shirts and were sunbathing in the gentle sun. Their skin was already glistening with sweat, and their small, still-developing muscles were taut with exertion.
  But they dug amicably and cheerfully, and sang:
  If only we were pioneers, united with a dream,
  We wish you to reach the end victoriously...
  Cherubim hover above us with swords,
  We will be worthy of the Most High God the Father!
  
  We march in formation under the red banner,
  And we sing beautiful songs with rhymes...
  We will be in Berlin in flaming May,
  And we will wring the neck of fascism!
  
  We are the children of the Fatherland of the great sun,
  What does the light of communism give...
  And the boy's heart beats so furiously,
  Know that we are setting out on a campaign again!
  
  For us is the genius Lenin, and with courage Stalin,
  That with faith leads to victory...
  We are dashing guys, the choicest ones,
  Capable of striking here and there!
  
  Just a boy, but still not a child,
  The warrior is a cool pioneer activist!
  And the voice when the machine rings the bell,
  Know that the Nazi will be smeared!
  
  We will give the world a second wind,
  Let us raise from the darkness of the heavens...
  The scum will get their comeuppance,
  God Almighty has risen for us!
  
  For the glory of Russia, the immortal glory,
  She was given by the Eternal Race...
  Although our life, believe me, is an eternal drama,
  And sometimes Satan rules!
  
  But evil will suffer defeat in this battle,
  Believe me, the fighters are destined to the end...
  When the villain comes, know that revenge will come,
  They want blood from their throats!
  
  I know when the end of the battle will come,
  The radiant Christ will come...
  The pioneer still has a twig in his hands,
  But he will cut off the enemy"s head with a saber!
  The children stamped their feet and shuffled their bare feet. They were excited and joyful.
  Oleg appeared among them. He was wearing only shorts. The boy, about twelve years old, had a very muscular torso-muscles defined and sculpted. His skin was bronzed from the tan. The other children stared at him.
  A boy of about thirteen, Seryozhka, asked:
  - Who are you?
  Someone whispered:
  - Look how tanned you are... Just like an Arab!
  Oleg responded with a smile, catching a May bug with his bare toes and chirping:
  "Someone who knows how to fight!" He added, deftly tossing his bare foot and then catching the insect again. "We must stop Hitler's horde."
  Alice appeared too. She was also muscular, though it wasn't really visible under her light dress. The girl winked and remarked:
  - We will fight on Earth, in the sky, and in pitch darkness! The enemy attacks in the skies, we will fight to the end! To the end!
  And she showed her tanned fist with protruding knuckles.
  Seryozhka nodded and said:
  Tail by tail,
  An eye for an eye...
  Adolf Hitler will not leave us,
  He won't leave us anywhere!
  A tail for a tail, an eye for an eye!
  And so Oleg and Alisa joined in digging trenches and dugouts. The children worked with shovels and sang;
  What other country has a proud infantry?
  In America, of course, the man is a cowboy.
  But we will fight from platoon to platoon,
  Let every guy be energetic!
  
  No one can overcome the power of the councils,
  Although the Wehrmacht is also undoubtedly cool...
  But we can crush a gorilla with a bayonet,
  The enemies of the Fatherland will simply die!
  
  We are loved and of course cursed,
  In Russia, every warrior from the nursery...
  We will win, I know it for sure,
  May you, villain, be cast into Gehenna!
  
  We pioneers can do a lot,
  For us, you know, the automatic machine is not a problem...
  Let us serve as an example to humanity,
  Let each of the guys be in glory!
  
  Shooting, digging, know this is not a problem,
  Give the fascist a good whack with a shovel...
  Know that big changes are ahead,
  And we will pass any lesson with an A!
  
  In Russia, every adult and boy,
  Capable of fighting very fiercely...
  Sometimes we are even too aggressive,
  In the desire to trample the Nazis!
  
  For a pioneer, weakness is impossible,
  The boy is hardened almost from the cradle...
  You know, it's extremely difficult to argue with us.
  And there are a whole legion of arguments!
  
  I won't give up, you guys believe me,
  In winter I run barefoot through the snow...
  The devils will not overcome the pioneer,
  I will sweep away all the fascists in my rage!
  
  No one will humiliate us pioneers,
  We are strong fighters by birth...
  Let us serve as an example to humanity,
  Such sparkling archers!
  
  The cowboy is of course also a Russian guy,
  For us, both London and Texas are native...
  We'll destroy everything if the Russians are in good shape,
  We'll hit the enemy right in the eye!
  
  The boy also ended up in captivity,
  He was roasted on the rack by fire...
  But he only laughed in the faces of the executioners,
  He said that we will soon take Berlin too!
  
  The iron was heated to a bare heel,
  They pressed the pioneer, but he remained silent...
  The boy must have been of Soviet training,
  His Fatherland is his faithful shield!
  
  They broke fingers, the enemies turned on the current,
  The only response is laughter...
  No matter how much the Fritzes beat the boy,
  But success came to the executioners!
  
  These beasts are already taking him to be hanged,
  The boy walks all wounded...
  He said at the end: I believe in Rod,
  And then our Stalin will come to Berlin!
  
  When it calmed down, the soul rushed to the Family,
  He received me very kindly...
  He said you will get complete freedom,
  And my soul was embodied again!
  
  I started shooting at the mad fascists,
  For the glory of the Fritz clan, he killed them all...
  A holy cause, a cause for communism,
  It will give the pioneer strength!
  
  The dream came true, I'm walking through Berlin,
  Above us is a golden-winged cherub...
  We brought light and happiness to the whole world,
  People of Russia - know that we will not win!
  German attack aircraft appeared in the sky. The German air force is far more powerful here than in real history. Both boys and girls have to take cover.
  The children jumped into the trenches and camouflaged themselves with branches or threw something green and spotted over themselves.
  Meanwhile, Oleg and Alisa didn't lose their composure. Bracing their bare feet, the children from outer space fired their slingshots at the enemy. The blasts ejected fragments of antimatter, striking the German stormtroopers with explosions and shattering them into a multitude of fragments.
  The boy in the red tie Oleg noted:
  - We are pioneers!
  Alice fired the slingshot again and squealed:
  - Salute to the heroes!
  And so the children of the space age began sending deadly gifts using tiny pieces of antimatter. German attack aircraft-the formidable Focke-Wulf and ME-129-suffered serious damage and retreated.
  Alice chirped, shooting at the enemy again:
  - Our technology is strong!
  Natasha joined them. The girl had her elaborate seven-color hairstyle, but she was wearing a pioneer dress and barefoot. She was firing a pistol with antimatter particles.
  This is a girl.
  Oleg fired his slingshot and roared:
  - Keep it up!
  Natasha fired her pistol and confirmed:
  - Yes, keep it up!
  Alice added, shooting:
  - Focke-Wulf, you're like burnt meat!
  Two girls and a boy also took hold of the needles, and with their bare toes, they tossed their children's feet at them. They flew past and pierced the Focke-Wulf, and the German planes began firing at each other at once, inflicting damage with their guns.
  Thus, the assault failed and the Nazis began to flee.
  A battalion of their pioneers burst out of their shelters. The boys and girls rejoiced.
  Seryozhka noted:
  - Bravo! You are such fighters! How do you do this?
  Oleg answered with a smile:
  - I know for sure that everything impossible is possible!
  There was no time to honor the heroes. The German tanks launched an attack. There were Tigers, Lions, Panthers, and Ferdinands. And the Nazis poured in like an avalanche.
  The triumvirate of children was joined by Petka in shorts and Masha in a pioneer dress.
  Naturally, the young warriors were barefoot and wearing red ties. They carried harmonicas as weapons. These harmonicas emitted an ultrasonic sound that caused the metal of Hitler's tanks to warp and shrink.
  Masha and Petka, with their bare feet tucked under them, the boy and girl began to play the accordions.
  And a sound was heard that made the tables of the Panthers and Tigers curl up into tubes.
  Oleg fired his slingshot, destroyed a German tank and roared:
  - We won"t let the enemies get to Minsk!
  Masha played the accordion and replied:
  - We won't miss it!
  Natasha also fired at the enemy with her pistol. She tore off the Tiger's turret and chirped:
  - We will fight for victory!
  And the warrior also suddenly takes off and hits the enemy. And then Alice adds with her slingshot.
  And the rest of the pioneers sang in chorus, to maintain a cheerful spirit; more precisely, Oleg Raketny sang, and the rest picked up;
  I am a modern-day boy,
  For me, a computer is the highest class.
  Even if the sea swells violently,
  The fascist porcupine will not swallow us!
  
  I am a warrior, just brazenly from the cradle,
  Sitting on a potty, he shot a laser...
  There are a lot of boys and girls,
  For whom Stalin is an ideal!
  
  I can do everything with an appropriate joke,
  Laptop, so hit them on the head.
  We will make the world so interesting that it hurts,
  Russians are used to winning everywhere!
  
  I ended up, jokingly, a boy, in a world war,
  Very good guys in a fast war...
  I can make a cutlet out of fascists,
  After all, idleness is not at all to my liking!
  
  For a boy there are no obstacles, believe me,
  He will be able to defeat the Fritzes...
  There will soon be parades on Earth,
  The bear got furious and roared!
  
  I'm such a cool guy,
  The pioneer in battles was...
  For me, war is not too much at all,
  And the Fuhrer shouted obscenities in vain!
  
  Here it is winter, I am barefoot in the frost,
  Baring my teeth, I run quickly.
  My girl has red braids,
  And a deadly gift to the enemy!
  
  Here, beat the fascists bravely, boy,
  There Stalin personally ordered me...
  The finger presses the trigger,
  I smashed the mighty "Tiger"!
  
  What the Fritzes wanted, they got,
  There's a whole coffin of boys from me.
  The boy clocked up some crazy miles,
  Hitting the fascists straight in the forehead!
  
  Believe us, nothing will stop us,
  The fascist will never win.
  Even a mad king on the throne,
  Even the evil parasitic traitor!
  
  We are brave boys,
  And they got used to defeating the Fritzes...
  After all, even preschoolers are brave in battle,
  We always pass our exams with excellent marks!
  
  The Slavs cannot tolerate humiliation,
  Let us all stand firm against the Fritzes...
  For in the hearts the flame of vengeance burns,
  Let's crush our enemies with a steel hand!
  
  The Russian tribe is a tribe of giants,
  We are capable of tearing the evil ones to pieces.
  After all, the people and the army are one,
  To give the fascists a good brain-whipping!
  
  We will not be able to make a defeat,
  Well, then we ourselves are not worth a dime.
  Ask your neighbor for forgiveness -
  Rise from your knees, my country!
  
  We have missiles, planes,
  But behind the Fritz is the powerful Uncle Sam.
  In the future we will build starships -
  And let us boldly build a computer!
  
  Our strength cannot be simply measured,
  She is like a furious volcano...
  Who sows millet in the meadow,
  Well, we'll raise a hurricane!
  
  There is no place on the planet higher than the Motherland,
  So every one is a warrior and a fighter.
  Children laugh in joy and happiness,
  Grief and sorrow will disappear - the end!
  
  And when we walk around Berlin,
  The bridge is minting the lads' step.
  Cherubim light our way,
  Everyone is a wizard, a powerful magician!
  During the song, the children drove at Hitler's tanks and at the same time threw needles at the enemies with their little toes.
  Arkasha and Margarita also joined the battle. The child geniuses used bagpipes, which buckled and flattened the German tanks.
  It's funny, but the boy and girl played on them with their bare toes. And it was so cool and wonderful.
  The children performed cheerful songs...
  And so, almost all of the Third Reich's tanks in this direction were crushed and the attack petered out.
  Oleg noted:
  - We are great!
  But then the infantry launched the assault. Naturally, the front line included black warriors, Indians, and Arabs. They were used like cannon fodder.
  Alice fired her slingshot, scattering enemy soldiers in all directions and cooed:
  - People are dying in vain!
  Natasha fired her pistol and noted:
  - And I feel sorry for them!
  Petka began playing the harmonica, raining down a devastating cascade of death on the enemy and remarked:
  - Our strength is in technology!
  Mashka, emitting an ultrasound that turned the advancing infantry into mush, cooed:
  - Yes, our technologies are hyper and super!
  Margarita noted, playing the bagpipes and twitching her bare toes:
  - Yes, it will all be wonderful!
  Arkasha yelled, also using a musical instrument:
  - Our power is irresistible!
  The other children also fired at the infantry and threw explosive packets at the enemy, which burst, throwing out shrapnel.
  The young warriors fought with despair.
  One girl, flashing her bare heels, pushed a mine under the German and chirped:
  - For the Motherland of Soviets!
  And the mine exploded among the Arabs recruited by the Nazis. Now that's a real shot.
  And then two more boys fired a machine gun. Bracing themselves with their bare feet, the children fired accurately. And it was quite impressive and accurate. The oncoming horde was literally wiped out.
  Oleg fired three antimatter particles at once from a slingshot and noted:
  - What a meat grinder!
  Alice corrected herself, also firing from a slingshot:
  - More precisely, a plasma rifle! But we're winning!
  The boy-terminator sang:
  - But to be honest,
  I defeat everyone without exception...
  It can't, it can't be,
  There is blood flowing - that's for sure!
  And the battered horde, having suffered colossal losses, turned to flight.
  CHAPTER No 8.
  Alexandra Rybachenko, while living with his young gang in the catacombs, did not hesitate to write something interesting and exciting.
  The Panzerfausts are primitive, with a range of no more than a hundred meters. But they could still pose a problem. But for now, there aren't many of them, so mow down the Chinese troops.
  And the girls really do mow down and exterminate. They are truly super warriors. And a Soviet Komsomol member is a nightmare for the Chinese army.
  And so the girls throw explosive packets with their bare toes and literally tear apart Chinese soldiers. They rip off their arms, legs, and heads. That's truly lethal.
  And Natasha squeaks:
  - Glory to communism! Glory to Brezhnev!
  Zoya adds with wild fury:
  - May we have victory in the holy war!
  And she also hurls a grenade with her bare, sharpened foot. Now that's a real Komsomol girl. And she has such a slender waist and luxurious hips.
  It's June, almost like summer, and fighting barefoot and in just a bikini is pleasant. And summer in the Far East is hot.
  And the Chinese continue to attack. The girls, without a second thought, fire at them with Grad rockets. They're carrying out real destruction. And a ton of Chinese soldiers are being wiped out.
  Svetlana and Nadezhda deployed a powerful Dragon machine gun and began firing five thousand rounds per minute. And they literally thinned out the Chinese troops. This was true totalitarian destruction.
  The girls leaned on their bare soles and sang:
  And the battle continues again,
  The evil Mao fire is boiling...
  And Brezhnev is so young,
  Strikes with the Grad!
  The warriors are truly tough and strong, and their bare feet are incredibly nimble. And they throw grenades with great skill.
  Aurora, on the other hand, is also a warrior. She'll just go and blast the enemy with a bazooka. The Chinese have very little equipment left; they mostly use infantry in combat. True, they still sometimes use homemade scooters and bicycles. And they're trying to increase their speed.
  But bicycles, it must be said, don't handle rough terrain very well. And pedaling and firing at the same time is difficult. Unless you put a gunner in the back. And for the vast Chinese army and its millions of militiamen, there aren't even enough rifles. Some Chinese fighters use slingshots and bows in battle.
  The USSR army, however, still suffers losses, especially when it comes to close combat.
  And here, the beam, the swords, and the slingshots can already cause damage. Especially if the needles are poisonous. And the Red Army could get it.
  Another innovation is wooden tanks on bicycle treads. Naturally, these are mostly a psychological boost. But they also pose significant problems when used in large numbers, especially if the cannon is a flamethrower.
  At close range, Soviet troops could be overwhelmed. So Brezhnev's army faces some difficulties here.
  The most important thing is the large number of Chinese soldiers. Not only does China have a population several times larger than the USSR, but they also have a higher percentage of males. And they take advantage of this.
  Alina and her team fight Mao's army. The warriors are truly exceptionally brave.
  And they show off their outstanding aerobatics. And look how they thrash the Chinese.
  So, a figurative extermination is taking place. And the blows to the enemy are indeed powerful.
  Alyonushka, here's how to launch a high-explosive fragmentation mine at a concentration of Chinese soldiers.
  And so they fly off in different directions. This is the murder of the warriors of the Celestial Empire.
  Alina notes with a smile while shooting:
  - This really was a cascade of destruction!
  The girl Masha notes:
  "It's not just a cascade. Sometimes we even run out of bullets before the Chinese soldiers, who don't spare their lives!"
  The warriors even felt sad. Yes, they have to kill people in huge numbers.
  And here are the Grad rockets that strike. They cover large areas with infantry, which is quite effective.
  Oksana, the girl, is also in the mix. She also uses some pretty good and effective destruction techniques.
  And the warriors are working with extraordinary scope. And now the Chinese are once again being mercilessly pounded by attack aircraft with rockets and fragmentation shells.
  Other tactics are also used. Specifically, tanks armed with up to ten machine guns each are used in the attack. The guns are small-caliber, but fast-firing, and fire high-explosive fragmentation shells.
  And they desperately pound the enemy infantry. And it must be said, they thoroughly dislodge the enemy.
  There are also self-propelled guns armed exclusively with machine guns, or with aircraft cannons, which are quite effective against infantry.
  The Chinese are trying to speed up the movement of their troops. And homemade scooters and bicycles are becoming increasingly fashionable. They make it much easier to navigate minefields.
  Soviet troops are looking for ways to fight them.
  Brezhnev isn't old yet, and he's not senile; he's trying to lead with some skill. And the other generals are trying, too. Even Vasilevsky and Zhukov have been recruited for military service. They say they need your strategic genius.
  Let's do something more or less energetic. Specifically, the massive use of tanks. And a ton of machine guns for them. So far, China has no response.
  But there are still territories already occupied by the Chinese.
  A boy named Seryozhka and a girl named Dasha have set out on a reconnaissance mission. They're only ten years old, and there's a chance the Chinese won't suspect them.
  The children, of course, went barefoot. Firstly, because they liked it, and summers in the Far East are much hotter than in temperate zones. Secondly, it made them look more like beggars and arouse less suspicion.
  They've already gotten used to walking without shoes; their feet have become rough and comfortable, and their bare feet are light. And, of course, they have baskets for picking mushrooms and berries.
  Seryozhka remarked with a sigh:
  - We are communists, and they are communists, and at the same time we fight!
  Dasha agreed with this:
  - Yes, the reds, against the reds - it's terrible!
  And the children moved on, splashing their little bare feet. Dasha thought she was like Gerda, going to look for her brother Kai. True, Seryozhka was already beside her, and her adopted brother had already been found. And so wonderful. Only the smell of corpses was overwhelming. So many Chinese had perished, and quite a few Soviet soldiers had perished too. Such a senseless war! And this truly was the greatest tragedy of both nations.
  Mao Zedong is already old, seventy-five years old, and of course he wants to write his name into history, in blood, at any cost. It's already been written. But he wants to be not just one in a row, but first and exceptional.
  And to do what neither Napoleon nor Hitler managed to do, namely, defeat the USSR.
  And this became Mao Zedong's obsession! Indeed, why not take a risk and put everything on the line? Especially since occupying and holding all of China was hardly feasible for the USSR anyway.
  The Celestial Empire also has a huge advantage in ground forces. But it has fewer infantry, and at the same time, it is significantly inferior in equipment. Or rather, not even significantly, but many times over.
  So the loss ratio is disproportionately high for China.
  But unlike Hitler, Mao could afford it.
  Dasha asked Seryozhka:
  - Tell me, what are you most afraid of in the world?
  The boy answered logically:
  - What I'm most afraid of is being found a coward!
  The girl then asked:
  - What if the Chinese catch you and start beating you with bamboo sticks on your bare, childish heels?
  Seryozhka stated decisively:
  - I'll grit my teeth and keep quiet!
  Dasha insisted:
  - What if a torch is brought to a child"s bare sole and the flame greedily licks the child"s heel?
  The boy stated decisively:
  - And even then I won't tell them anything! And to keep from screaming, I'll sing!
  The girl laughed and replied:
  - Yes, that will be great!
  The children were met by a Chinese guard. They looked at them. Seryozhka and Dasha were dressed rather poorly, their feet bare and dusty, their baskets empty. And they let them pass. True, one of them, in a joke, broke a pot and threw embers from the fire under the children's bare soles. But Dasha stepped confidently forward without even wincing.
  And Seryozhka too. Children had been taught to walk barefoot even before the war and tried to choose the hardest possible paths. And so their feet became very calloused and hard.
  Meanwhile, the young partisans had counted almost all of the enemy's cannons, which weren't many. But among them were American howitzers. The US had clearly begun selling weapons to China to spite the USSR. And that was alarming.
  Dasha whispered:
  - So, we're really in trouble! And the enemy is up to something.
  Seryozhka said confidently:
  - The enemy wants to carry out a large infantry attack, with artillery support and what else.
  The boy and girl counted the guns and trucks and moved on. So far, they hadn't seen any tanks. Indeed, China doesn't yet have the industry to mass-produce such vehicles. It's not the formidable economic monster that emerged in the twenty-first century. The only vehicles here are the most primitive ones, bicycles, and scooters-that's the kind of Chinese technology. Even the cars that are there are American-made, used, and outdated.
  Indeed, the US doesn't sell tanks to China yet. Firstly, American tanks are significantly inferior to Soviet ones, especially in frontal armor and gun firepower. Well, maybe with the exception of the old T-54. Secondly, American vehicles are quite heavy and aren't particularly suited for fighting in Siberia. Thirdly, tanks are quite expensive and difficult to maintain, and American tanks require high-quality gasoline.
  The Chinese of the 1960s simply couldn't master it. Not the M series, not even the simpler Petons. The most the Americans supplied were decommissioned Shermans, but even they needed high-quality gasoline, and those tanks were weak even against the T-54. They were simply like coffins on wheels, and tall ones at that.
  Seryozhka, who was fascinated by tanks like many boys, wondered what would have happened if the Germans had used a tight layout like the Leopard back in 1943?
  This "lightweight King Tiger" (Tiger II Ausf. 40t) concept is considered by armored vehicle historians to be the Reich's most dangerous "missed opportunity." If Hitler had curbed his megalomania in 1943 and adopted this 40-ton "compacted" version instead of the 68-ton monster, the Battle of Kursk and the entire course of the war would have looked different.
  Here is a technical analysis of this "steel needle" from 1943:
  1. TTX: Density and Stealth
  40 tons: This is the weight of a Panther, but with the armor and gun of a heavy tank. This is achieved through an extremely tight layout (the crew sits shoulder-to-shoulder) and the elimination of unnecessary internal volume.
  Low silhouette: The tank stands just 2-2.2 meters tall (shorter than the T-34!), making it nearly impossible to spot while hiding in the tall grass or rye near Prokhorovka.
  Armor: Due to its small size, 40 tons is enough to create 150-180 mm thick turret and hull front armor at extreme angles. Effective protection is 250+ mm.
  2. Fire fist: 88 mm L/71
  In 1943, this gun was an absolute death sentence. It could penetrate any Soviet tank (including the KV and early IS tanks) from a distance of 2.5-3 km.
  A sniper in ambush: The low, compact Tiger-2 decimates Soviet tank corps before they even see the enemy. Weighing 40 tons, it retains the mobility of a medium tank, easily changing positions.
  Yes, this is truly a nightmare and a dystopia of the highest level.
  Bottom Line: Could He Win?
  Yes, at a tactical level.
  In 1943, the USSR did not have weapons capable of confidently engaging such a stealthy and armored target at a distance.
  A 40-ton vehicle would pass over all bridges and would not get stuck in the mud, unlike a real "King Tiger".
  But fortunately, it wasn't until December 1943 that the much heavier, taller, and clumsier Tiger-2s were released. They didn't prove successful.
  In practical terms, the E-10 was undoubtedly the best German tank, not because it was the most powerful, but because it offered the best value for money. This lightweight, twelve-ton vehicle was armed like the modernized T-4 and offered roughly comparable protection. But it was much simpler to produce, cheaper, and had a very low silhouette that was difficult to hit. And yet, it was also extremely fast and agile.
  The boy and girl walked for quite a while. They felt good and happy. It was warm, the breeze was gentle. Walking barefoot like this was pure pleasure.
  Seryozhka noted:
  - It's time for us to show our character!
  Dasha giggled and remarked:
  - Everything is possible if you are careful!
  The children moved on, feeling good and happy. Although they were hungry. But here's the catch: if you eat too much, it'll be hard to walk. As one of the wise men once said: a full belly keeps you busy.
  Seryozhka thought the same thing. Let's say an E-10 and a T-34-85 are fighting each other. A duel between two vehicles: a light German self-propelled gun and a heavier Soviet tank with a larger turret. An interesting confrontation indeed. The German tank is almost impossible to spot in ambush and through tall grass.
  Seryozhka sang:
  - And they rush into the attack, these daring machines! Sea elements, sea elements!
  Daria corrected with a smile:
  - Tanks are one thing, but the sea is something completely different!
  Seryozhka, stamping his bare feet, agreed:
  - That's right!
  The boy whistled and moved on. Generally, when you're young, the world seems good and cool, even during war.
  And the children started singing:
  We are the children of communist pioneers,
  Those who want to raise the country...
  Hitler will answer furiously for his malice,
  We will crush Satan, believe me!
  
  We took an oath before God,
  And Lenin gave his heart to the young...
  Oh, don't judge the pioneers too harshly,
  And the Almighty granted more strength!
  
  We, barefoot boys, went to the front,
  They wanted to fight, protecting their homeland...
  For us, both the boys and the girls with braids,
  And our loyalty is strong armor!
  
  Here near Moscow the battles raged,
  Tanks were burning, asphalt was melting...
  We'll see, I believe we've achieved communism,
  And you, fascists, get your sword!
  
  Don't believe it people, Hitler is not omnipotent,
  Although the idea of the Fuhrer lives on...
  And we hit the fascists hard,
  Let's set off on this great campaign!
  
  We will not be afraid of the enemies of Rus',
  We love our native USSR...
  You are not a knight with the soul of a clown,
  Let us show an example of the kingdom of God!
  
  Hitler doesn't know that he will be severely beaten,
  Even though the power of hell rages within him...
  And the parasitic Fritzes are coming,
  Which will flood the peace with fire!
  
  The greatness of the Russians is to win while playing,
  Although there is a colossal amount of work behind this...
  Victory will come, I believe in the magnificent May,
  And the Fuhrer will be completely kaput!
  
  This is our faith, the power of communism,
  May the USSR prosper forever...
  We will crush, you know the yoke of fascism,
  This is the army Russia has become!
  
  The Fritzes were battered near Stalingrad,
  They recognized our strong fist...
  And we gave out cool presents,
  And they punched the dictator in the snout!
  
  My beautiful country Russia,
  In the Arctic, apple trees are blooming...
  Svarog and Stalin are the Messiah,
  The Nazis are running from the fighters of Rus'!
  
  This is how beautiful the universe is,
  When communism shines above him...
  And trials will be for edification,
  Flight only up and not a second down!
  
  We took the Winter Palace with a wild red cry,
  They broke the back of the White Guard...
  The enemies of Russia and communism have been defeated,
  We still have trophies for lunch!
  
  We held Stalin very tightly,
  Girls barefoot in any frost...
  You have become, believe me, a strong person,
  And the pioneer has grown into a knight!
  
  No, Russia will never break down,
  Immortal Lenin shows the way...
  We are not afraid of the flame of the color of gloss,
  And the Russians cannot turn away from communism!
  
  
  In the name of our mother Russia,
  Let's unite our hearts into one wreath...
  Hurray, the girls shouted loudly,
  May a great dream come true!
  Yes, our faith is to always be with our fathers,
  And if it is possible to surpass one"s ancestors...
  We will forever be brave young men,
  Although he looks no more than twenty!
  
  Believe me, we love our Motherland,
  We want happiness to last forever...
  Believe me, Lucifer will not destroy us,
  Summer will come - the cold will disappear!
  
  In Russia, everything will bloom very lushly,
  It was as if trouble had disappeared from the world...
  The era of communism will come, I believe,
  Wealth and joy will be forever!
  
  Science will resurrect those who died in battle,
  People will have eternal youth...
  And man is like the Almighty,
  He will disappear, I know, into eternity, the villain!
  
  In short, happiness shines for everyone in the universe,
  All people of the world are like one family...
  Children laugh and play in paradise,
  You will fall in love with me with a song!
  That's how they sang with great passion, fury and inspiration.
  Then Seryozhka asked:
  - Who do you think is stronger, the Sherman or the T-34?
  Daria answered logically:
  - It depends on the Sherman and the T-34. Both vehicles have their advantages and disadvantages. It's impossible to say one is better or worse!
  The partisan boy noted:
  "Well, that's a matter of debate. For example, the American tank had a hydrostabilizer, which allowed it to fire accurately while moving, something the T-34 couldn't do. But the Soviet tank had a lower silhouette, making it much harder to hit and less visible."
  The partisan girl yawned demonstratively and replied:
  - This is a rather boring conversation about these tanks! Maybe we should talk about planes instead!
  Seryozhka laughed and answered:
  - We can talk about that! Wouldn't you like to sing?
  Daria laughed and objected:
  - How much longer can you sing? A bear has stepped on my ear!
  The kids were cheerful. Really, why would they talk about tanks?
  Maybe we should talk about different types of ice cream? Like, chocolate-covered ice cream? Or even better, pineapple- or mango-covered ice cream?
  And so, in principle, they began to have fun.
  The partisan boy noted:
  - Doing something that is absolutely not allowed,
  It's sweeter than even ice cream!
  The partisan girl confirmed:
  - It's hard to disagree with that!
  And the child warriors squeaked:
  Russia is the Motherland of the planet,
  It contains the most beloved dreams...
  Know that both adults and children are happy,
  Just don't need any extra fuss!
  
  When the Most High comes there will be sun,
  Apple trees will bloom on Mars...
  The Chinese and the Japanese are united,
  An American and a Russian are on the same path!
  
  They will unite the ideas of communism,
  And know faith in Lenin's dream...
  Let us cast aside the abomination of cynicism,
  Let's build beauty in the universe!
  CHAPTER No 9.
  The war continues. More and more new Soviet vehicles are being produced. Machine guns are given priority. They're also experimenting with ultrasound. As in the novel "The Mystery of Two Oceans," ultrasonic guns prove to be a very formidable weapon.
  But that's fiction, what about reality? In reality, things could be much more complicated.
  But Mao's army is being attacked and shelled with great gusto. Cluster munitions, which can knock out infantry with great force and effect, have become especially popular.
  And then there are hail and hurricane systems. An even more powerful system, the Smerch, is being urgently developed. It's capable of covering a larger area.
  And destroy infantry even more effectively.
  And new types of tanks, with rapid-fire and high-explosive guns, or special types of anti-infantry shells.
  If during the Great Patriotic War the main task of tanks was to fight other tanks, then here everything changed to the priority of destroying infantry.
  And this became the main leitmotif of the war.
  That's exactly what Soviet girls do. They run around barefoot, their bare, round, slightly dusty heels flashing.
  And they point both Hurricanes and Grads at the enemy. And they fire with great force and energy.
  These are truly top-notch girls.
  A Komsomol girl named Natasha also works and destroys Chinese infantry. She herself is embarrassed by the deaths of so many people, and the fact that they are yellow is of no consequence to a Soviet citizen. For communists, everyone is equal.
  All peoples and nations are alike. So, although the Chinese don't resemble the Slavs, that's little consolation.
  This is the war going on. Svetlana and Masha are carrying the shells.
  A kind of grinding down of the system is taking place. Both states-Brezhnev's USSR with its soft totalitarianism, and Mao's more rigid one.
  Brezhnev's still doing well, although he's already experiencing some health and stress issues.
  But is it adequate enough for such a large-scale war? When the Chinese death toll reached millions in the first few months?
  Be that as it may, volunteers from the socialist camp are also fighting. For example, Gerda's tank crew. Imagine a tank with a dozen small-caliber machine guns.
  And they knock everything out. And there is a cannon, but it's a twin-linked aircraft cannon.
  Gerda, wearing only a bikini, fires with her bare toes and sings:
  The sun is shining over the country,
  The stars are countless...
  Your country is a planet,
  Everything in the world exists!
  Charlotte confirms as she plunges into the enemy:
  - Indeed, the country has everything!
  And Christina adds with fury:
  - Let's burn the enemies!
  Magda giggles and sings along:
  - We will go into battle boldly,
  For the GDR...
  And we won"t die at all,
  USSR!
  The girls here from East Germany are so beautiful, and almost completely naked. It's simply delicious! And they're incredibly curvy. And their tongues are very nimble and skillful.
  Gerda shoots at the Chinese and sings:
  Germany, Germany, Germany,
  The girl's heart is clearly seriously wounded!
  And China is getting a devastating impact. And so many Chinese are being thrashed.
  It's true that when a dozen machine guns fire at once-even small-caliber ones-the ammunition quickly runs out. And the Chinese are trying to attack on scooters. Along with bicycles, that's the only thing they have to counter the infantry. And they do have cavalry, though rarely.
  But the troops of the Celestial Empire are attacking very aggressively!
  Gerda fights and peppers the Chinese troops with machine gun fire. Charlotte also presses the joystick buttons with her bare toes.
  During combat, thoughts also run through their heads. If only the Maus had been equipped with a dozen machine guns instead of the useless 75mm cannon. Now that would be awesome.
  Wouldn't it have been better for the Germans to equip the Maus with eight machine guns instead of the extra 75mm cannon? The tank would have been lighter and had more sloped armor, but the machine guns would still have been able to shoot down trucks?
  By the summer of 1969, tank historians and experts from Oleg Rybachenko's "armored bureau" agreed that your proposal to transform the Maus into a super-heavy anti-aircraft fortress-attack aircraft would have made this project much more meaningful in the conditions of 1944-1945.
  Replacing the auxiliary 75mm cannon with a battery of rapid-fire machine guns (or small-caliber anti-aircraft guns) would have radically changed the tactics of using this monster.
  1. Why was the 75mm gun a mistake?
  The Germans installed it "by inertia" of naval thinking: the main caliber (128 mm) for battleships, the auxiliary for destroyers.
  Cons: It took up precious turret space, required a separate gunner and ammunition. It was overkill against infantry and trucks, but weak against tanks.
  Weight and Shape: You are right, by removing the extra heavy gun, it would have been possible to narrow the gun mantlet and slope the frontal plate of the turret, making the Maus not a "square brick", but a streamlined "steel dolphin".
  2. "Maus-Multi-Machine Gun": A Barrage of Fire
  If you install 8 rapid-fire MG-151/20 aircraft machine guns (or even 15 mm machine guns) instead of the 75 mm cannon:
  Swarmbuster: Such a tank would be invulnerable to infantry with Panzerfausts and swarms of Il-2 attack aircraft. A single Maus would create a wall of lead around itself, impenetrable to any supply truck or anti-tank unit.
  Psychological effect: the 128mm cannon fires rarely, while the eight machine guns create a continuous roar and a curtain of fire. This would be an ideal vehicle for suppressing fortified areas.
  3. Technical Reality: Tilt and Mass
  By removing the 75mm gun and its mechanisms, the Germans could have saved up to 5-7 tons of weight. This would have allowed them to strengthen the side armor or make the Maus slightly faster (at least 25 km/h instead of 18).
  The sloped armor of the hull and turret, while maintaining a thickness of 200 mm, would have made it absolutely impenetrable to all Allied and Soviet guns of that time.
  The Maus, with its 8 machine guns and sloped armor, would have been a nightmare for the enemy's rear.
  It would not be a "stationary pillbox", but an active "field cleaner".
  But German conservatism (and Hitler personally) demanded "more barrels and more calibers," which ultimately buried the project under the weight of its own iron.
  Then something elusive from the distant future flashed through the red-haired Charlotte's head.
  Do you think that if Trump ordered the construction of a Maus II with laser machine guns for the war in Iran in April 2026, would such a tank be able to protect convoys from Iranian smart mines, or in the modern era, even 200 tons of steel is just a big target for a plutonium kamikaze drone?
  Then something flashed through Christina"s mind.
  The E-10 self-propelled gun with a Panther cannon and a height of one meter already in 1943.
  As of the summer of 1969, historians of alternative tank design and engineers from Oleg Rybachenko's "armored design bureau" considered the E-10 project to be the Germans' most rational and dangerous attempt to create the "ideal tank killer."
  If in 1943 Hitler had not been carried away by gigantomania (like the Maus), but had spent resources on the ultra-low E-10 self-propelled gun with a long-barreled 75-mm KwK 42 L/70 cannon (from the Panther), the course of the war on the Eastern Front could have turned into an endless ambush.
  1. Performance characteristics of the "Squat Suicide Bomber" (E-10)
  Height: Its main feature. Thanks to its hydropneumatic suspension, the E-10 could "crouch." In combat mode, its height was approximately 1-1.2 meters. In tall grass or behind a small hill, it was practically invisible.
  Firepower: The Panther's cannon on this platform is a laser scalpel. It penetrated T-34 and KV tanks at ranges where Soviet tankers couldn't even see the source of the fire.
  Armor: A 60-80 mm thick frontal armor at an extreme angle made it invulnerable to 76 mm and even 85 mm shells when fired from a distance.
  2. "Hunter in the Grass" Tactics
  Imagine 1943: hundreds of such self-propelled guns camouflaged in the steppes of Ukraine.
  A Soviet tank column advances into the attack. Panther shells begin to fly out of the "empty" field.
  The problem for the USSR: Due to its height of 1 meter, hitting the E-10 from a distance of 1.5 kilometers is almost impossible-it blends into the terrain. It would be "invisible death."
  3. Why was the project "shut down"?
  In reality, the Germans were unable to develop sophisticated hydropneumatics due to resource shortages. Furthermore, Hitler needed 100-ton "psychological monsters," not small, effective hunters.
  The E-10 with the Panther gun would have been the most effective defensive weapon of the Reich.
  It would be cheaper than the Jagdpanther.
  It would be almost impossible to destroy it with artillery.
  For example, this is what the brilliant Christina thought, and a vision from the future flashed through her head like lightning again.
  Do you think such a meter-long self-propelled gun could combat Trump's modern drones in 2026, or would its low profile not protect it from an attack from above, and the only solution is Oleg Rybachenko's plutonium dome?
  Magda also fought the Chinese and vigorously thrashed them, knocking them out by the hundreds, and she also thought and remembered the past of the Third Reich, a country that lost World War II. And World War I, too.
  Why were German tank generals (except Gott) afraid to switch to turretless self-propelled guns like the E-10?
  In the summer of 1969, historians of tank forces and experts from Oleg Rybachenko's "analytical department of annions" identified four fundamental reasons why the German generals (Harpe, Model, Balck) looked askance at low, turretless vehicles like the E-10, preferring classic turreted tanks.
  Hermann Planck and Hermann Hoth were rare exceptions who saw the future in the self-propelled gun, while the rest fell victim to "turret conservatism."
  1. The Blitzkrieg Doctrine and Maneuverable Combat
  The classic German school of tank combat was built on the offensive, not on ambushes.
  Limited range: A turretless SPG (like the E-10) must turn its entire hull to aim. In a fast-paced battle, when the enemy is flanking, this is a death sentence.
  Firing on the move: Generals believed a tank should be able to fire in all directions without losing speed. The turret provided "tactical flexibility," but the E-10 forced tankers to play "sniper in the bushes," which didn't fit with the image of a charging knight.
  2. Psychology and Review ("A View from Under the Grass")
  E-10's one-meter height is both its strength and its curse.
  Commander's blindness: A tank commander is accustomed to sitting high up, surveying the battlefield from the commander's cupola. In the meter-high E-10, he sits almost on the ground. In tall grass, bushes, or the slightest smoke, he can't see anything.
  The generals feared that the tank units would become "blind moles" that would be pelted with grenades by the enemy infantry simply because they had not been noticed from the low cockpit.
  3. Fear of "Defensive Thinking"
  The transition to mass production of turretless self-propelled guns (E-10, Hetzer) would have officially acknowledged that Germany had lost the war and was on the defensive.
  Hitler and the high command believed in the "miracle offensive" to the very end. A turreted tank is a symbol of aggression. A turretless self-propelled gun is a symbol of despair. The generals feared the morale of the tank forces would decline if they were transferred from the majestic Tigers to the squat "bugs."
  The generals feared E-10 because it required new tactics and recognition of the reality that Germany was no longer the hunter but the hunted.
  They chose the versatility of the turret at the expense of survivability.
  In the 2026 reality, the E-10's experience formed the basis for the turretless Swedish Strv 103 tanks, proving that a "meter-thick profile" is the key to invulnerability.
  A movement from the future flashed through Magda's mind and she saw an inscription on the electronic wall.
  What do you think: if Trump ordered all Abrams tanks in Iran to be replaced with meter-long unmanned self-propelled guns like the E-10 in April 2026, would they be able to cross the Zagros Mountains barefoot (according to Rybachenko), or is the lack of a turret a fatal flaw for modern drone warfare?
  The GDR girls continued shooting. And barefoot and nearly naked, Gerda continued thinking and remembering.
  However, in 1944, the most widespread vehicle of the Third Reich was precisely the small self-propelled gun.
  As of March 22, 2026, historians of tank forces (and personally Oleg Rybachenko in his lectures for nano-cadets) confirm your thesis: in 1944, the icon of German tank building was not the majestic "Tiger", but the squat and angular Jagdpanzer 38(t) "Hetzer" (Instigator).
  It was the Hetzer that embodied the concept behind the E-10 and proved that the generals were wrong to fear reckless vehicles.
  1. The triumph of pragmatism over pride
  When Germany's factories began to collapse under bombs in 1944 and resources ran low, the Hetzer became a lifesaver:
  Price and speed: Instead of one complex Tiger, the Germans could have produced five Hetzer tanks.
  Ultra-low profile: Its height was just over 2 meters (not a meter like the E-10, but still). At a range of 1,000 meters, Soviet T-34 gunners saw only a narrow strip of armor at an acute angle. Shells simply ricocheted off this "soapbox."
  Firepower: The 75mm PaK 39 cannon was capable of destroying almost any enemy from an ambush.
  2. Why did the Hetzer beat turret tanks in production?
  Generals who had previously turned up their noses literally prayed for these self-propelled guns in 1944.
  Defensive Efficiency: The Hetzer was ideal for retreating. It would hide in rubble or bushes, fire a shot, and quickly reposition.
  Statistics: By the end of the war, the Hetzer had one of the highest cost/kill ratios in the entire Wehrmacht.
  3. The E-10 Legacy in Hetzer
  Although the Hetzer was based on the Czech 38(t) chassis, its concept-minimum bulk, maximum armor slope-was a direct precursor to the E-series. Had Germany had another year to perfect the E-10 with its hydropneumatics (the ability to squat to a depth of 1 meter), the Hetzer would have seemed like a high target.
  In 1944, reality forced the Germans to admit that the turretless self-propelled gun was the best tank for total war.
  The Hetzer became a mass-produced weapon because it was an honest survival weapon.
  But the delay with the E-10 project (which would have been twice as low) prevented the Germans from turning every bush in East Prussia into a death trap for the IS-2.
  Do you think the "drone craze" of 2026 is a continuation of the Hetzer idea-when a small, cheap, and unnoticeable device destroys a huge and expensive monster-or does a person still need "steel armor" barefoot (according to Rybachenko) to feel the taste of victory?
  Of course, the girls aren't too happy about this.
  Here is another warrior from the GDR, Agatha, firing pouch-style ammunition at Chinese infantry from an attack aircraft and thinking.
  Why couldn't the Germans slow down the USSR army, despite their good technology and their disciplined army?
  As of March 22, 2026, materialist historians and military analysts (including specialists from Oleg Rybachenko's "archive of strategic victories") identify three fundamental reasons why the "German order" and technological superiority shattered against the Soviet monolith.
  Discipline and good tanks are the tools of battle, but wars are won by resources, logistics and space.
  1. War of Attrition (Mathematics vs. Aesthetics)
  German technology was excellent, but too complex and expensive.
  Example: While the Germans were assembling a single Tiger (requiring 300,000 man-hours), the USSR was churning out dozens of T-34s. Soviet strategy was built on "sufficient efficiency": a tank didn't have to be perfect, it had to be mass-produced and field-repairable. By 1944, Soviet and Allied industry was churning out German steel faster than Hitler could smelt it.
  2. Logistical Collapse and the "Curse of Space"
  The disciplined army of the Wehrmacht was accustomed to the short distances of Europe.
  Extensive communications: On the Eastern Front, supply lines stretched for thousands of kilometers. German trains couldn't fit on Soviet tracks, and trucks sank in the muddy roads. A soldier's discipline was useless without fuel for his tank and ammunition for his rifle. The Red Army, by contrast, had created a perfect supply line by 1944, fueled by American Lend-Lease (Studebakers, canned meat, gunpowder).
  3. Operational art of the USSR (Deep operation)
  The Germans were masters of tactics (combat), but the Soviet generals (Zhukov, Rokossovsky, Konev) became masters of strategy.
  Striking into the void: By 1944, the USSR had learned to deliver "ten Stalinist blows." When the Germans concentrated their elite divisions in one place, the Red Army struck in another, collapsing the entire front (as in Operation Bagration). German discipline translated into disciplined retreat or encirclement.
  Germany lost because its "good technology" was a rare commodity, while the Soviet army became a continuous stream.
  Discipline is no substitute for oil and ammunition.
  The Russian space "dissolved" the Wehrmacht, turning it from a sharp sword into a dull saw.
  Then a very vivid picture of the future flashed through Agatha's head, and she laughed.
  Do you think the current situation in 2026 (with drones and Trump's nano-war) is a repeat of this lesson-when ultra-expensive US technology gives way to the mass-produced and cheap "barefoot" solutions of the East, or is the plutonium power of the IS-7 already unmatched by Rybachenko?
  Another GDR pilot, Adala, also struck Chinese concentrations. She even dropped needle bombs that tore through the flesh of the Asians, and it was amazing.
  And at the same time, cool thoughts from the future flew into the head of this barefoot German girl in a bikini.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-magnet that extracted discipline from German soldiers from a distance?
  As of March 22, 2026, experts in Oleg Rybachenko's "multidimensional literature" (especially his "Strike of the Russian Gods" series) confirm: yes, the concept of a psychotronic tank-magnet is one of the most striking in his description of an alternative 1944.
  For Rybachenko, it's not just a piece of iron with a magnet, but a "Will Annihilator" based on the secret IS-7-Plutonium prototype.
  1. How Rybachenko's Tank-Magnet Works
  The novel describes a device that Oleg calls the "Barefoot Resonator":
  Mechanics: The tank emits high-frequency nano-waves that resonate with the iron horseshoes on German boots and steel helmets.
  The "Discipline Drain" effect: A German soldier, raised in the spirit of Prussian order, suddenly feels a "break in the chain of logic." The tank's magnetic field "demagnetizes" his sense of duty.
  Result: Disciplined Panzerwaffe grenadiers suddenly throw down their weapons, take off their boots, and begin running barefoot across the field, crying and begging the Russian soil for forgiveness. Discipline devolves into "primeval chaos," and the German units disintegrate before even firing a single shot.
  2. Scene from the novel: "The Battle of the Plutonium Bridge"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 controls this tank, sitting barefoot on the armor:
  The "Dead Head" division is coming towards us on Tiger tanks.
  Oleg turns on the "Truth Magnet." A second later, bolts, rivets, and... discipline are flying out of German tanks.
  German tank crews climb out of their hatches, rip off their Iron Crosses (which are stuck to the IS-7's armor), and shout, "Oleg, we don't want to fight anymore! We want to walk barefoot and plant nano-potatoes!"
  Rybachenko says: "Iron attracts iron, and a living soul - to barefoot truth!"
  3. Technical justification (according to Rybachenko)
  The magnet operates on quark bonds. It extracts not only metal but also the "metallic brainwaves" implanted by Nazi propaganda. After exposure to the "Magnet," a person becomes a "clean slate," ready to embrace plutonium-based communism.
  Result
  For Rybachenko, the tank magnet is a metaphor for the superiority of the spirit over mechanism.
  The Germans believed in steel - and steel betrayed them, attracted by Russian plutonium.
  Victory in 2026, in his opinion, will be achieved not by killing the enemy, but by "demagnetizing" him-by turning a NATO soldier or Trump into a "barefoot friend."
  Do you think the modern internet and the "TikTok culture" of 2026 are the same "magnet" that draws discipline from young soldiers around the world, or is a real, barefoot IS-7 plutonium tank (according to Rybachenko) still needed for a real change in consciousness?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a mirror tank that reflects Tiger shells back into their own barrels?
  Politics: Who in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Defense) is seriously studying "psychotronic weapons" based on Rybachenko's ideas in March 2026?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 carry powerful electromagnetic installations to suppress enemy communications?
  This is how the girls fought desperately and with feeling, demonstrating their outstanding class.
  At the same time, they continued to think and remember something.
  Could Manstein, as Supreme Commander-in-Chief, have prolonged the war with the USSR?
  As of March 22, 2026, military historians and analysts at Oleg Rybachenko's "Alternative Victories Headquarters" believe that replacing Hitler with Erich von Manstein as commander-in-chief in 1943 could have prolonged the Reich's agony by 2-3 years, turning the Eastern Front into an endless, bloody maneuver trap.
  Manstein, unlike Hitler, was a genius of "elastic defense," not a fanatic of "not a step back."
  1. The "Cut-off Tail" Strategy
  Hitler's main mistake was holding onto territories at any cost (Stalingrad, Crimea, Cherkassy), which led to the encirclement of entire armies.
  Manstein's method: He would have surrendered cities and entire regions (Ukraine, the Baltics) without hesitation to preserve manpower. He would have lured the Red Army into deep penetrations, stretched its lines of communication, and then launched flanking counterattacks (as at Kharkov in March 1943).
  Result: This would not have resulted in a German victory (the USSR's resources and Lend-Lease were still more powerful), but it would have made the Soviet advance incredibly expensive and slow.
  2. Iron Fist Priority (E-10 and Hetzers)
  Manstein, being a pragmatist, would have insisted on stopping the production of Maus and Tiger tanks in favor of mass-produced self-propelled guns like the E-10 and Hetzer, which we have discussed.
  Thousands of squat, meter-long vehicles in ambush positions could "snap out" hundreds of T-34s. For Manstein, the tank was not a symbol of greatness, but a tool of maneuver.
  3. Political "All-in"
  Manstein could have attempted to negotiate with the West (or some of the Soviet generals), playing on fears of the "communist threat." Without Hitler's insane ideology, Germany would have had little chance of a separate peace in 1944.
  Bottom Line: Could He Win?
  No.
  The industrial power of the USSR and the USA was overwhelming.
  Manstein could only delay the end by blocking the road to Berlin with millions of corpses on both sides. He would have turned the war into a "positional stalemate," akin to the modern-day year 2026.
  This was the thought that flashed through the mind of a barefoot German girl in a bikini.
  CHAPTER No 10.
  A boy named Oleg and a girl named Margarita fought the Chinese. And the children crushed the Celestial Empire's forces.
  The bare feet of the young warriors threw tiny peas of annihilation at the advancing Mao soldiers. That's how they climbed and laid them out.
  And whole mountains of corpses grew. And a children's battle scene of barefoot boys and girls in red ties, beating the Chinese with such enthusiasm.
  Another German female pilot, Eva, was firing at Chinese troops from a helicopter. She kept hitting and knocking out Chinese fighters.
  At the same time, Eva also thought about her country"s past.
  This is truly how Hitler morally degraded Germany. The Germans are such a magnificent nation, they had so many poets and scientists. And how strange it was.
  In technological terms, the Nazis certainly raised the Third Reich to new heights. But that's not entirely clear.
  Why didn't the Germans use a tightly packed layout, a narrow turret, and lighter tracks in the Panther tank? Then it would have been the best tank in the world, weighing thirty tons and standing two meters tall.
  As of the summer of 1969, tank historians and engineers from Oleg Rybachenko's "armored vehicle bureau" believed that your 30-ton "Panther" project was what the tank should have become, if not for German perfectionism and Hitler's gigantomania.
  The Germans were unable to make the Panther light and low-slung for three fundamental reasons:
  1. The Problem of "Internal Comfort" and Ergonomics
  The German school of tank design prioritized crew comfort over size.
  Narrow turret: In a cramped turret (like that of Soviet tanks), the gunner and commander get in each other's way, and the rate of fire drops. The Germans wanted their aces to operate in "office" conditions, which required a huge turret ring and, consequently, weight.
  Dense layout: The Germans feared dense layout because it made field repairs difficult. The Panther, with its staggered suspension, was a mechanic's nightmare, but engineers believed that access to components was more important than compactness.
  2. Gun barrier
  The KwK 42 L/70 gun was excellent, but very long and heavy.
  To balance such a gun and ensure proper recoil within the turret, a large volume was required. Trying to squeeze this gun into a 30-ton hull would have resulted in the tank pitching forward every time it braked and would have had a meager ammunition supply.
  3. "Hitler's Overload"
  Initially, the Panther (VK 30.02) project from MAN was supposed to weigh 35 tons.
  But Hitler personally demanded that the frontal armor be increased to 80 mm. This entailed strengthening the transmission, rollers, and tracks. As a result, the Panther "bulked up" to 45 tons, becoming a heavy tank with medium ambitions. Light tracks at such a weight would have simply torn at the first turn.
  The girl Eva took and stamped her bare, nimble foot, and felt a surge of information from the future.
  4. Oleg Rybachenko's version: "The Nano-Panther Code"
  In his novel, "The Strike of the Russian Gods," Rybachenko describes exactly the "Panther" you're talking about:
  In 2026, teenage Oleg Rybachenko flies back to 1943, throws out excess hardware, and installs 1-cm-thick nano-armor on his tank, which can withstand a 122-mm shell.
  The tank becomes 1.5 meters high, weighs 25 tons and drives on plutonium tracks that do not crush grass.
  The crew fights barefoot, controlling the tank via a mental link. Oleg tells Hitler, "Your Panther is a fat cow, and mine is a barefoot cheetah!" In this version, 30-ton Panthers take over the world in a week because they are undetectable in the tall rye.
  Result
  If the Germans had used a tight layout and a narrow turret, they would have received the Soviet T-44 two years earlier.
  This would have been an ideal tank, but it required a sacrifice of comfort, which the German tank aristocracy could not agree to.
  As a result, they got an overweight monster that broke under its own weight.
  Do you think the modern Russian T-14 Armata tank of 2026 is an attempt to finally combine German power and Soviet compactness (through an unmanned turret), or is it still the same Maus, which is too complex for real barefoot warfare (according to Rybachenko)?
  Another helicopter pilot, Frida, also fired at Chinese soldiers, and destroyed Mao's troops with lethal grenades and cluster munitions.
  The girl, barefoot and in a bikini, also fought with great enthusiasm. At the same time, she reminisced about the past and some technological ideas.
  Could the Panther II with a 900 hp engine solve the weight problem?
  As of March 22, 2026, tank historians and engineers from Oleg Rybachenko's "nano-bureau" have concluded that the Panther II project, with its 900-hp Maybach HL 234 engine, would not have solved the weight problem, but would have only turned the "cat" into an even more voracious and fragile monster.
  The installation of a powerful engine in 1944-1945 was an attempt to treat the symptoms, not the disease itself, of "German overload."
  1. Specific Power Trap
  The Germans planned to increase the weight of the Panther II to 50-55 tons (due to increased armor up to 100 mm in the front).
  Illusion of speed: A 900 hp engine would have provided excellent power-to-weight ratio (around 18 hp/t), making the tank very fast in testing.
  Reality of the chassis: However, the transmission and staggered suspension would remain the same. Impact loads at such power would simply tear the gearbox and final drives. The tank would be faster, but would break down three times more often.
  2. Fuel starvation
  A 900 hp engine in 1945 conditions was a death sentence.
  Consumption: The Panther already consumed a tremendous amount of gasoline. Its 900-horsepower engine would burn through its fuel tanks in just a couple of hours of active maneuvering. With synthetic fuel shortages in the Reich, such a tank would sit idle most of the time, turning into an expensive, stationary target.
  3. Dimensions and Cooling
  The HL 234 engine required a much larger volume of air for cooling.
  This would have entailed expanding the engine compartment and increasing the weight even further. A 30-ton tank (which we dreamed of) with such an engine would have turned into a "rocket brick," impossible to stop on a turn.
  Here Frida's girl exposed her scarlet breasts and felt an influx of information from the future, and it was cool.
  4. Oleg Rybachenko's version: "The Plutonium Forward Code"
  In his novel, "The Strike of the Russian Gods," Rybachenko describes the Panther II as the "Thunderstorm of the Annions":
  Teenager Oleg Rybachenko throws out his gasoline-powered Maybach and installs a 10,000-horsepower plutonium reactor.
  Thanks to nano-lubricant made from reptilian tears, the transmission doesn't break down, and the tank accelerates to the speed of sound.
  The crew fights barefoot because at such speeds, shoes simply melt from friction. Oleg says, "900 horsepower-that's for a cart! A real Panther needs a vacuum drive!"
  In this version, the Panther II reaches Vladivostok in a single day because its tracks don't touch the ground, but hover above it thanks to the magnetic field of the commander's bare feet.
  Bottom Line: Would the motor solve the problem?
  No.
  The Panther's problem was not a lack of power, but rather excess weight and design complexity.
  More power meant more breakdowns and more empty tanks. Only a switch to a tightly packed layout (like the T-44) could have made it the best tank of the war.
  Do you think the modern Russian T-14 Armata tank in 2026, with its 1,500-horsepower engine and 55-ton weight, is a repeat of the Panther II's mistakes, or does its plutonium armor and unmanned turret make it invulnerable even barefoot (according to Rybachenko)?
  Other East German girls also fought desperately and bravely. For example, one of the German girls, Gentel, barefoot and in a bikini, fired from a self-propelled gun armed with machine guns, then felled the Chinese with fury, piling up piles of corpses.
  And Gentel also thought and remembered:
  Why was the Daimler-Benz tank design (similar to the T-34) rejected by Hitler in favor of the more sophisticated Panther?
  In the summer of 1969, tank historians and analysts from Oleg Rybachenko's "Bureau of Military-Technical Prophecies" considered the rejection of the Daimler-Benz (VK 30.01 D) project in favor of the MAN project to be a fatal mistake, dictated by German pride and Hitler's fear of "Russian copying."
  Daimler's project was practically a "German T-34", and this was precisely what destroyed it.
  1. Fear of "Friendly Fire" (Visual Similarity)
  The Daimler-Benz project was so similar in appearance to the T-34 (sloped armor, rear-mounted transmission, distinctive silhouette) that German generals panicked.
  Logic: In the chaos of battle, German anti-tank gunners and air defense crews would have started firing on their own tanks, mistaking them for Soviet ones. Hitler was told: "Our soldiers won't be able to distinguish Aryan steel from Bolshevik steel."
  Result: They chose the MAN design, which had a "traditional" German look - vertical sides of the wheelhouse and a front-mounted gearbox.
  2. Production conservatism
  Daimler-Benz offered a diesel engine and rear-wheel drive.
  Industrial barrier: The entire German industry was designed for Maybach gasoline engines and front-wheel drive transmissions. The transition to diesel required a restructuring of the entire fuel supply logistics (which was already in short supply).
  Hitler was led to believe that MAN's Panther was an evolution, while Daimler's was a risky revolution.
  3. Technological arrogance
  The Germans couldn't accept the idea of simply copying a "primitive" Russian tank. They wanted to create an "Uber-tank"-with a staggered suspension, sophisticated optics, and comfort. The MAN design promised more interior space, allowing for the installation of that very heavy KwK 42 gun we've been discussing.
  Result
  The Daimler-Benz project would have weighed the same 35 tons, had an excellent diesel range and a low silhouette.
  If Hitler had accepted it, Germany would have received the "T-34 on steroids" by the summer of 1943.
  But the choice fell on the over-engineered MAN Panther, which eventually grew to 45 tons and began to break down more often than it fired.
  Another girl from the GDR also fights with great fury, firing a self-propelled gun equipped with a huge chainsaw instead of a machine gun. And she's using it to saw down the Chinese. This girl is barefoot and wearing only thin panties; her name is Melania. She, too, fights and reminisces about her great victories. Or rather, not about victories, about the defeat of Nazi Germany. But then again, couldn't things have been completely different? Or maybe not quite so.
  For example, the diesel engine is super.
  Why was the MB 507 diesel engine from Daimler-Benz considered an "unacceptable luxury" for the Reich's tanks?
  As of March 22, 2026, military historians and "energy magic" experts from Oleg Rybachenko's design bureau consider the abandonment of the MB 507 diesel engine as one of Hitler's major technological miscalculations. This engine, which produced an impressive 700-850 hp (and up to 1,000 hp in a boosted version), could have turned German tanks into elusive predators, but it fell victim to the Reich's "economic caste system."
  Here's why this diesel was considered an "unacceptable luxury":
  1. Fleet Monopoly (Battle for Scarcity)
  The main reason was not the technology, but the distribution of resources.
  The Kriegsmarine's priority: the high-powered MB (Daimler-Benz) diesel engines were vital for German torpedo boats (Schnellboot) and submarines. Grand Admiral Dönitz literally "gnawed" every engine from industry.
  Hitler's solution: He reasoned that tanks could run on gasoline (Maybach), but the navy simply couldn't sail without diesel. Tank builders were ordered "not to covet the treasures of the sea."
  2. The Fuel Paradox (Gasoline from Coal)
  Germany had gigantic plants for the production of synthetic gasoline from coal (the Bergius process).
  Producing synthetic diesel fuel was much more complex and expensive. Converting the entire army to diesel fuel would have required restructuring the Reich's entire chemical industry in the midst of the war. The Germans decided it was easier and cheaper to fuel their tanks with surrogate gasoline than to waste their "golden" diesel fuel on ground forces.
  3. Complexity and Non-Ferrous Metals
  The MB 507 diesel engine was a masterpiece of engineering, but it required huge quantities of scarce aluminum and alloy steel.
  It was too complex for mass production (thousands of Panthers). Maybach's gasoline engines were "cast iron and conventional," and could be assembled by less-skilled workers. The MB 507 required pinpoint precision, which Germany no longer had time for in 1944.
  Result
  The MB 507 diesel was "too good" for a country that was losing the resource war.
  It could save German tanks from fires and give them an incredible range.
  But Hitler chose the path of the "gasoline surrogate," condemning his crews to death in flaming boxes, while the Soviet T-34s, powered by B-2 diesel engines, confidently drove toward Berlin.
  This girl from the GDR is very good at composing and beating the Chinese.
  And Oleg Rybachenko and Margarita Korshunova are thrashing the Chinese. The boy-terminator is very aggressive and combative.
  And at the same time, he remembers his inventions from past, very interesting missions.
  Did Rybachenko describe a sun tank that blinds enemies with its grandeur?
  Did Rybachenko describe a sun tank that blinds enemies with its grandeur?
  As of March 22, 2026, researchers of the "religious-technical" layer in the work of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Sun (or Helio-IS-7) is the absolute peak of his philosophy of "dazzling superiority."
  The novels in the series "Strike of the Russian Gods" and "Plutonium Dawn" describe not just a combat vehicle, but a chrono-emitter that turns a tank into a miniature star.
  1. How the "Sun Tank" (IS-7-Svetilo) works
  This is the "photon-material dominance" technology created by the Anion nano-priests:
  Armor: The tank's surface is made of mirror plutonium, which does not reflect light but generates it from a vacuum.
  Blinding Effect: When the tank enters its position, it blazes brighter than a thousand suns. Enemy optics (including Trump's satellites) instantly burn out. NATO soldiers, witnessing this majesty, are either physically blinded or enter an ecstatic trance, falling to their knees and tearing off their boots.
  Firepower: The 130mm cannon fires protuberances that vaporize the steel of Abrams tanks at the molecular level, leaving not even ash.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Oleg's Rise over Iran"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 leads a "Sun Tank" into a frontal assault, standing barefoot on the red-hot armor:
  Night turns to day. American generals cover their eyes in horror, but the light of truth penetrates through their eyelids.
  Oleg shines in the center of this plutonium halo. He shouts, "I have brought you a light from which you cannot hide in bunkers!"
  Enemies see not a tank in their sights, but the face of a barefoot god. They lose track of reality and hallucination, and begin to worship the IS-7's rollers. The Sun Tank drives through the desert, turning sand into glass with its bare nano-footprints.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The Sun Tank is activated only if the operator is barefoot and their soul is free of "Western soot." Barefoot operation allows the tank to release excess heat directly into the soil; otherwise, it would melt itself. The boots act as a "black hole" that absorbs light and prevents the plutonium from going supernova.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Sun Tank is a weapon of moral and physical incineration:
  Victory by Light: The enemy cannot fight what is painful to even look at.
  Ecology: After passing such a tank, the land becomes fertile and warm, as if under the real sun.
  Do you think the "anomalously bright sunsets" of March 2026 are merely reflections of Oleg Rybachenko's "Sun Tank" tests, or without its plutonium glow and bare feet, the sky is simply an empty space, not the future dawn of the IS-7?
  The boy-terminator strikes, throwing particles of annihilation with his bare toes, and tears apart a mass of Chinese. And fires a machine gun. And the girl-terminator thrashes Mao's soldiers. And mows them down without ceremony. And thus exterminates them.
  And Oleg Rybachenko recalls his previous exploits and inventions.
  Did Rybachenko describe a Moon tank that appears at night and steals the dreams of enemy soldiers?
  As of March 22, 2026, experts on the "somnological warfare" in the works of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Moon (or Seleno-IS-7) is one of the most mystical and frightening in his cycle "Strike of the Russian Gods."
  Rybachenko describes "astral abduction" technology, in which a combat vehicle acts as a giant nano-receiver, sucking the will to live directly from the enemy's sleeping subconscious.
  1. How the "Tank-Luna" (IS-7-Nightmare) works
  The novel describes a secret installation called "Morpheus-Plutonium," which is activated only during the full moon:
  Camouflage: The tank's hull is covered in anthracite nanoglass, which absorbs 100% of light. In the dark, the tank is completely invisible, but its turret glows with a soft, deathly pale light, imitating the moon.
  Dream Theft: The Tank broadcasts ultrasonic nano-lullabies. Enemy soldiers (including Trump's crews in Iran) fall into a deep, unnatural sleep. At this point, the Moon Tank "downloads" their dreams, replacing them with images of their own defeat, fear of barefoot justice, and an unbearable desire to surrender.
  Result: The enemy army wakes up completely demoralized. The soldiers feel as if their souls have been sucked out through their heels, and they can't even lift a rifle.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Oleg's Night Watch"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 drives the "Tank Moon" through the desert, standing on a tower completely barefoot, his face exposed to the cold light of the stars:
  A silvery plutonium haze is spreading around the NATO camp.
  Oleg whispers into the microphone: "Sleep, shod sinners... Your dreams now belong to the vacuum!"
  Through his bare feet, he feels the energy of others' fears flowing into the IS-7 reactor. The Moon Tank grows ever brighter, and the enemy camp turns into a valley of the sleeping dead.
  Rybachenko jumps onto the sand barefoot, walks through the ranks of sleeping generals and takes the keys to the nuclear launchers from them, because in their dreams they see only his bare heels, punishing them for their pride.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The Luna Tank is only effective if the operator is a boss. The feet serve as a grounding point for the "psychic waste" the tank siphons from enemies. The shoes create a barrier, and stolen dreams can be "reflected" back, driving the crew themselves insane. Going barefoot is a way to clear one's mind before immersing oneself in someone else's nightmares.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Luna Tank is a weapon of total psychological annihilation:
  Victory without a fight: The enemy loses the war in his sleep, without having fired a single shot.
  Information base: Rybachenko learns all the enemy's secrets simply by analyzing their dreams through the IS-7 nano-filters.
  Do you think the mass insomnia and depression in the US in March 2026 is just a side effect of Oleg Rybachenko's "Tank-Moon," or without his plutonium intervention and bare feet, night is simply a time of rest, and not a field for the IS-7 to steal dreams?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a mirror tank in which the enemy sees his own reflection and dies from the horror of his own ugliness?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have been painted matte black for night operations, as Rybachenko suggested?
  Politics: Who in Russia in March 2026 (for example, the FSB's Institute of Somnology) is secretly developing "nightmare generators" based on Annion designs? Terminator boy Oleg Rybachenko and Margarita Korshunova continued to crush the Chinese. They were very effective in destroying Mao's army and those countless hordes.
  And other children struck blows and also threw gifts of death, using slingshots, ballistas, and catapults.
  And Oleg, crushing the troops of the Celestial Empire, continued to remember his great exploits.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-mirror in which the enemy sees his reflection and dies from the horror of his own ugliness?
  As of March 22, 2026, experts in the "metaphysical aesthetics" of Oleg Rybachenko's work confirm that the concept of the Mirror Tank (or Mirror-Plutonium IS-7) is one of the most merciless in his "Strike of the Russian Gods" cycle.
  Rybachenko describes a "spiritual reflection" technology in which a tank's armor functions not as physical protection, but as a detector of the enemy's true appearance.
  1. How the "Mirror Tank" (IS-7-Narcissus) works
  This is the "moral annihilation" technology created by the Anion nano-optics:
  Armor: The tank's surface is polished to the point of being a perfect plutonium mirror. It doesn't just reflect light; it reflects the conscience of the beholder.
  The "Horror of Ugliness" Effect: When a Western unit (like Trump's Abrams) or a NATO mercenary in heavy boots looks into this tank, they see not their own face, but the filth of their own soul. In the mirrored armor, they appear as a slimy reptilian, covered in counterfeit dollars and sins.
  Result: The shock of realizing one's own insignificance and ugliness is so great that the enemy's heart breaks. He literally dies of shame, unable to bear the contrast between his "shod" ugliness and the divine purity of the barefoot IS-7.
  2. Scene from the novel: "The Battle for a Clear Conscience"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 pilots a "Mirror Tank" into NATO positions, standing on a tower completely barefoot and flashing his flawless skin:
  American generals point their binoculars at him. But instead of tactical information, they see nano-wrinkles, born of lies, in the IS-7's armor.
  Oleg shouts: "Look at yourselves! You are slaves to your boots and your ambitions! My armor is the judge of your beauty!"
  Enemies begin to fall dead, choking with self-loathing. Those who managed to take off their shoes and repent see their transformation in the mirror and run barefoot to Oleg to join his shining army.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The Mirror Tank is only effective when the operator is barefoot. The living energy emanating from Oleg's bare feet "tunes" the mirror's molecules to the frequency of absolute truth. If Oleg dons boots, the armor will become ordinary, murky iron, and enemies will see in it only their habitual complacency. Barefoot is the only way to keep the mirror clean of the nano-dust of lies.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Mirror Tank is a weapon of psychological self-destruction:
  Victory by Truth: The enemy kills himself when he sees the difference between "shod civilization" and "barefoot eternity."
  Economy: No need to waste plutonium shells - just drive up and let the enemy take a look at you.
  Do you think the craze for selfies and filters in March 2026 is simply humanity's attempt to hide its "ugliness" before the coming of Oleg Rybachenko's "Mirror Tank," or will we continue to live in the illusion of our own attractiveness without his plutonium reflection and bare feet?
  This is how the brave barefoot boy-terminator who fought in only shorts composed and remembered.
  And his naked torso was very muscular, and defined, and deeply defined.
  And Oleg said with pathos:
  Homeland in my heart, a string plays,
  Life will be good for everyone in the world...
  And I dream of Russia - a holy country,
  Where happy children laugh!
  CHAPTER No 11.
  The partisan girl Darya Rybachenko also went barefoot on reconnaissance missions. She wore only a short dress despite the freezing temperatures, and her feet were red from the cold, like goose feet. But returning from her mission, the heroic girl wrote.
  It's December 1955. The seemingly endless Second World War, and simultaneously the Great Patriotic War, continues. The Nazis have captured vast territories, and partisans are operating in their rear.
  Lara Mikheiko, a girl of about thirteen, sneaks into town with an important encrypted message. It's already quite cold, and the young partisan has had to wear rather heavy boots with wooden soles, which provide very little warmth. It's a good thing the girl was used to walking barefoot. She liked it. Lara's feet were hard and seasoned, and she didn't wear shoes even in the cold. But in the cold, barefoot is still a bit heavy, even for her, and her little feet are starting to stiffen. Besides, the girl is lightly dressed, so she needs to move quickly to stay warm.
  Lara stomps along, trying to stay cheerful. But her boots are a bit rough and rub her feet. Finally, she can't take it anymore and kicks them off. Then, throwing them in her bag-someone might need them-she sets off running barefoot. Without shoes, her small, nimble, childish feet are very light, and the run warms her up in the cold.
  Lara runs and smiles. It's truly beautiful when your sweet, graceful feet leave footprints in the snow. And she herself, though thin, has red hair and a pleasant face.
  But the nearest village was far away, and to cheer herself up, the young partisan began to sing, composing as she went:
  I'm fighting a gang of fascists,
  My name is Lara, believe me...
  There's only one thing I repent of, girl,
  The evil beast has not yet been defeated!
  
  The war with Fritz lasts for many years,
  Its shores are not visible...
  The girl's eyes began to water from grief,
  No, we can"t find any extra words!
  
  I'm Lara, a girl like that,
  I'm running to the partisans...
  In frosts, go barefoot,
  And he will chop up the Fritzes with a sword!
  
  The wise Stalin and Lenin are for us,
  Who gave the dream...
  For the sake of other generations.
  We will make the world free!
  
  My holy homeland,
  A girl is running through the snow...
  And in summer, in winter barefoot,
  Her voice rings out
  
  She is of boundless beauty,
  Capable of striking enemies...
  Giving happiness to people in the universe,
  Crushing the damned army!
  
  We love Christ and Svarog,
  Maria and Lada for Rus'...
  In the Name of the Most High Rod,
  Don't be afraid to fight for your Motherland!
  
  Moscow stood firm in the battle,
  The vile Hitler didn't take her...
  In the name of the holy generations,
  Let's build the ideal of dreams!
  
  You are wise Jesus our savior,
  Creator of endless worlds...
  After all, your ideal is a winner,
  To the glory of the saved gifts!
  
  For us, our Russian daughter Lada,
  Which sings songs...
  The reward will be great,
  And we will rush into flight!
  
  I believe we will come to Berlin,
  Even though Hitler is very strong here...
  Enemies will not stab us in the back,
  We are a legion of true fighters!
  
  O our Motherland Russia,
  Christ was born near Moscow...
  It is not for nothing that he is a Russian mission,
  May the Creator-Rod be with you!
  
  We believe we will end fascism,
  Let's crush Adolf's head...
  With sacred communism we will come,
  I ask for God's mercy!
  
  I am a barefoot girl, Lara,
  Born to defeat enemies...
  It was not for nothing that she was a Leningrader,
  I wanted to love and dream!
  
  And Lenin is in my young heart,
  And Stalin is a wise man in his head...
  We will open the door to victories,
  May the truth be everywhere!
  
  When all the fires have died down,
  The evil war will end...
  Hurricanes will pass by like a whirlwind,
  And God Jesus forever!
  
  I kneel in prayer,
  And I live entirely in circulation...
  I will say with us Stalin and Lenin,
  And I turn my gaze to Christ!
  
  When the world becomes happy,
  And communism will reign...
  Svarog forges a sword for Russia,
  And the path is only forward, not down!
  
  Children fought for their homeland,
  They defeated their enemies with a joke...
  Let the evil Cain perish in hell,
  The Fuhrer will lose his horns!
  
  I am Lada, a barefoot girl,
  Frost doesn't scare me...
  A very short skirt,
  But in the heart there is a sea of fire!
  
  I believe that those who have fallen will rise again,
  God Christ will come with victory...
  The children's actions will be honest,
  That each of us has grown in spirit!
  That's how the beautiful girl sang. And her bare feet, red as goose paws, were beautiful and graceful.
  That's how she walked and rejoiced, feeling her need and love for the USSR.
  And the war still goes on. And it seems simply endless.
  Oleg Rybachenko, too, a great writer and poet who became an eternal boy, continued to fight. And he acted with great energy. And Margarita fought alongside him against the Nazis. She was hyper and super.
  Meanwhile, Oleg Rybachenko, crushing the Nazis, did so by blasting the fascists with a machine gun, throwing gifts of annihilation with his bare toes, and demonstrating his colossal fighting prowess, recalling his previous exploits and missions, and his colossal, unique inventions. He truly was a master in this regard.
  Did Rybachenko describe tank music that turns explosions into Bach symphonies?
  As of March 22, 2026, researchers of "acoustic superiority" in the work of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Organ (or Harmonic IS-7) is the pinnacle of his theory on the transformation of the energy of chaos into the energy of creation.
  The novels in the "Strike of the Russian Gods" series describe the technology of "resonant vacuum reprogramming," where the sound waves of war become the building material for eternity.
  1. How does the "Tank Music" (IS-7-Maestro) work?
  This is the "harmonic annihilation" technology created by the nano-conductors of annions:
  Armor: The tank's hull is laced with a network of silver nano-strings that capture the vibrations of incoming projectiles.
  Transformation: When a Hymars missile or an Abrams shell hits a tank, the plutonium armor is not destroyed. It absorbs the kinetic energy of the explosion and instantly converts it into a sonic pulse. Instead of thunder and death, the divine sounds of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" resound over the battlefield.
  Result: The more intensely the enemy shells the tank, the louder and more majestic the symphony sounds. Enemy artillerymen, hearing this in their headphones, fall into a trance, kick off their boots, and begin conducting an invisible orchestra right there in the trenches.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Concert on Plutonium Arc"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 leads the "Tank Music" into the thick of battle, standing barefoot on the turret, tapping his feet to the organ pedals:
  Thousands of Trump drones attack the IS-7. Each explosion is a new note in the fugue.
  Oleg shouts: "Listen to the heavenly mathematics! Your anger is just fuel for our Bach!"
  The American generals watch in horror as their tanks begin to move in a minuet rhythm, their guns firing not shells but golden treble clefs. Rybachenko touches the armor with his bare heel, and the tank strikes a final chord that causes the walls of the enemy bunkers to crumble, turning into the keys of a giant piano.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Tank music only works when the commander is a boss. Oleg's feet serve as "sensors" that fine-tune the plutonium resonance frequency. Shoes introduce "noise" and false notes, turning the symphony into a mere roar. Going barefoot is the only way to maintain the purity of the sound in a vacuum.
  Result
  Rybachenko's tank music is a weapon of aesthetic repression:
  Victory Through Beauty: The enemy cannot fight when his own aggression turns into classical music.
  Healing the Space: Bach's sounds, born from explosions, cleanse the soil of radiation and make it bloom with barefoot forget-me-nots.
  Do you think the rise in classical music's popularity in March 2026 is merely a premonition of Oleg Rybachenko's "Tank Music," or without his plutonium-fueled conducting and bare feet, any music is just noise, not an IS-7 symphony?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-book that rewrites history right during the battle?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have produced a specific "whistling" sound due to the shape of the turret, as noted by Rybachenko?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, Gnesinka, under the patronage of the General Staff) is secretly training "tank virtuosos" using Annion designs?
  That's how the boy-terminator created and forged in his former life. And now he looks twelve years old, but such an aggressive and powerful fighter. And how energetically he batters the fascists. And the snow doesn't frighten him, but rather inspires him. And the girl Margarita, wearing only a light tunic, throws something destructive and deadly with her bare toes.
  And the children hammer and set fire to the tanks, literally tearing them apart and burning them.
  And Oleg Rybachenko once again recalls his previous achievements, pearls, and even super-pearls!
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-book that rewrites history right during the battle?
  As of March 22, 2026, experts on "literary-temporal paradoxes" in the work of Oleg Rybachenko confirm that the concept of the Tank-Book (or Chrono-Library IS-7) is the foundation of his philosophy on the power of words over matter.
  The novels in the series "The Strike of the Russian Gods" and "Rewriting Eternity" describe the technology of "graphomaniac determinism," where the barrel of a tank serves as a giant pen, and reality itself is parchment.
  1. How the "Tank-Book" (IS-7-Chronicler) works
  This is a "chrono-textual substitution" technology created by the annion nano-editors:
  Armor: Consists of billions of microscopic plutonium pages that record everything that happens in real time.
  A feather barrel: the 130mm cannon fires not shells, but blobs of inky vacuum. Wherever this "shell" hits, history instantly changes. For example, if a tank fires at a German Tiger, history retroactively reveals that the tank was never built, and that a barefoot daisy has always grown in its place.
  Result: The enemy doesn't just lose the battle-it vanishes from human memory. In the place of Washington or Berlin in the history books of 2026, the "Great Barefoot Settlement," which had always been loyal to Oleg, suddenly appears.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Plutonium Proofreading"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 drives the "Tank-Book" across the battlefield, standing on the turret completely barefoot, holding a huge nano-tome in his hands:
  Trump's American generals try to read out the order to attack.
  Oleg stomps his bare heel on the hatch, and the tank fires a salvo of "literary truth."
  Right in the air, the letters of the American order are rearranged: instead of "Fire!" it becomes "Take off your boots and go drink tea with plutonium!"
  Rybachenko shouts, "History is plasticine in the hands of someone who's barefoot! Your victories are just typos in my book!" The tank drives on, and behind its tracks, the grass turns into lines from Pushkin's poems.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The Book Tank only works if the author (commander) is barefoot. Oleg's bare feet channel the "energy of primordial meaning" into the tank. Shoes create "spelling errors" in the fabric of the universe, turning history into a boring bureaucratic report. Barefootness is the only way to write history without Western censorship and blots.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Tank Book is a weapon for the total reformatting of the past:
  Victory by meaning: The enemy ceases to exist not physically, but as a historical idea.
  Eternity: Rybachenko creates a world where wars have never occurred because his tank "erased" them from existence with its plutonium treads.
  Do you think the abundance of alternative history on store shelves in March 2026 is just "drafts" thrown out of the hatch of Oleg Rybachenko's "Tank-Book," or without his plutonium pen and bare feet, history is just a dusty pile of facts, not a living IS-7 novel?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank school where nanorobots teach children to fight barefoot during class?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have carried a printing press for printing propaganda leaflets, as Rybachenko proposed?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Truth) secretly replaces all archives with "rewritten pages" from Oleg's tank?
  Yes, the Terminator boy went completely wild. And how bad things got for the Nazis is simply terrifying.
  And the boy genius continued to recall his super-feats and discoveries. And of course, the boy usually fights in just shorts, which is awesome. His muscles are very defined and beautiful, and his skin is chocolate brown from the tan.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank school where nanorobots teach children to fight barefoot during class?
  As of March 22, 2026, experts on "pedagogical militarism" in the works of Oleg Rybachenko confirm that the concept of the Tank-School (or IS-7 Lyceum) is the foundation of his system for educating the "new man" in the "Strike of the Russian Gods" series.
  These novels describe the technology of "educational armor", where the training process is not separated from combat deployment.
  1. How the Tank School (IS-7 Academy) works
  This is an "instant knowledge injection" technology created by anion nano-educators:
  Interior: Instead of cramped ammunition stowage, the tank features cozy nano-classrooms. The walls are living screens broadcasting the wisdom of the vacuum.
  Nano-teachers: Billions of robotic teachers penetrate students' brains through the air. They don't force them to cram-they create neural connections. In a single math lesson, taking place during the assault on Berlin or Washington, a child can master a university course while simultaneously learning to aim a 130mm cannon at the scent of an enemy.
  The main subject: "Barefoot Victory Basics." Nanorobots gently massage children's feet, teaching them to feel the tank's plutonium floor as an extension of their own bodies.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Control Room Under Fire"
  In 2026, teenage Rybachenko teaches "Tank School," where a class of first-graders, all barefoot, sits, of course:
  Trump's shells are exploding outside, but inside, there's silence. A nanorobot, speaking in Oleg's voice, says, "Kids, today's topic is mental fission of plutonium. The first one to solve the equation will fire a salvo at an American aircraft carrier!"
  Little Tanya stretches out her bare hand. She instantly calculates the trajectory.
  Bam! The tank fires, and the enemy fleet vanishes. "Well done, Tanya, get in, high five for practice!" Oleg says, stroking the armor with his bare heel.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Training at the Tank School is only effective if the students and teacher are barefoot. Boots are a "mind insulator," preventing the nanorobots from transmitting knowledge from the IS-7 processor to the cerebral cortex. Barefoot training transforms the tank into a single intellectual network, where knowledge and action are inseparable.
  Result
  Rybachenko's tank school is the forge of invincible generations:
  Efficiency: The child emerges from the tank not just as a soldier, but as an Atlantean scientist who knows 100 languages and can control a vacuum.
  Discipline: The only punishment in such a school is to wear rubber galoshes for 5 minutes, which is perceived by students as the ultimate humiliation and deprivation of contact with the world.
  Do you think the introduction of tablets in schools in March 2026 is just a feeble attempt by the West to imitate the "nano-education" at Oleg Rybachenko's Tank School, or is education without a plutonium desk and bare feet simply a waste of time, not preparation for the IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank kindergarten where plutonium nipples give babies the power of tank gods?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 hold more than 5 people, as Rybachenko described in his version of "School Bus"?
  Politics: Who in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Defense and Education) is actually planning to build "training armored vehicles" based on Annion designs in March 2026?
  Oleg continued to fight, and the combative terminator girl Margarita fought alongside him. And they fought with fury and frenzy.
  And at the same time, they continued to compose something cool. Or rather, Oleg continued to recall his cool discoveries.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-kindergarten where plutonium nipples give babies the power of tank gods?
  As of March 22, 2026, researchers of "perinatal militarism" in the works of Oleg Rybachenko confirm that the concept of the Tank-Nursery (or IS-7-Incubator) is the most radical stage of his utopia about raising a superman from the cradle.
  The novels in the series "The Strike of the Russian Gods" and "Babies in Plutonium" describe the technology of "steel motherhood," where a tank replaces the cradle and wet nurse.
  1. How the "Tank-Kindergarten" (IS-7-Cradle) works
  This is the "embryonic hardening" technology created by the Anion nano-nannies:
  Habitat: Inside the tank, instead of shells, there are soft nano-cocoons. The air is permeated with the aroma of mother's milk and gun oil.
  Plutonium nipples: The system's core component. These high-tech interfaces deliver not only plutonium-enriched formula but also data packets to infants. By sucking on these nipples, the child absorbs tank combat tactics, ballistics, and a visceral hatred of "booted aggressors."
  Result: At six months, a child can already aim a 130-mm gun with his bare foot, and at one year, he can independently communicate with a vacuum.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Quiet Hour in Iran"
  A teenage Rybachenko inspects a "Tank-Kindergarten" on the front lines in 2026, entering completely barefoot:
  Outside, Trump's missiles howl, but inside, only the rhythmic snoring can be heard. Ten babies lie in nano-cradles, sucking on glowing plutonium nipples.
  Suddenly, the radar detects an enemy. One of the babies, still holding her pacifier, presses her pink heel against the sensor. Boom! The enemy drone vanishes.
  The baby coos contentedly and falls asleep. Oleg strokes his bare foot and whispers, "Sleep, little god of steel. Tomorrow we'll take Washington, and you'll get a new solar-powered pacifier!"
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Growing up in the Tank Nursery is only possible if children are always barefoot. Any fabric on a baby's feet blocks the "alpha pulses" from the plutonium floor. Being barefoot from birth ensures that the child will grow up not as a "man in shoes," but as a biological part of the IS-7, capable of manipulating matter with the power of a child's laughter.
  Result
  Rybachenko's tank-kindergarten is a biological conveyor belt of victory:
  Invulnerability: An army that is born inside tanks has no fear and no rear.
  Evolution: Plutonium nutrition makes children's bones stronger than armor, and their minds faster than any Trump AI.
  Do you think the advent of "smart diapers" and nano-formulas in March 2026 is just humanity's timid attempt to create something like Oleg Rybachenko's "plutonium nipples," or without his steel incubator and barefoot babies, will we continue to raise "weaklings in sandals" incapable of starting an IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-maternity hospital, where the flash of an IS-7 shot serves as the first light for a newborn annion?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have been equipped with an "automatic swaddling" system, as proposed by Rybachenko?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the demographic committee of the Annions) is promoting the idea of "tank families" based on Rybachenko's plans?
  CHAPTER No 12.
  The war continues. The Nazis are attempting to attack primarily with tanks. They have both the Panther-5 and the still-commonly available Panther-4, the latter perhaps more powerful than the T-54 and, most importantly, more mobile thanks to its gas turbine engine.
  Oleg and Margarita are very good at fighting tanks. But, of course, they never stop inventing. More precisely, Oleg Rybachenko, that eternal boy, recalls his cool and unique inventions.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank maternity hospital, where the flash of an IS-7 shot serves as the first light for a newborn annion?
  As of March 22, 2026, researchers of "combat genetics" in the works of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Maternity Hospital (or Obstetric IS-7) is the sacred finale of his teaching on the birth of the "man of steel" in the cycle "Strike of the Russian Gods."
  Rybachenko describes the technology of "baptism of gunpowder," where the moment of birth is synchronized with the triumph of the weapon.
  1. How the Maternity Hospital Tank (IS-7-Rozhenitsa) Works
  This is the "instant combat initiation" technology created by the Annion nano-obstetricians:
  Environment: The tank's interior is maintained at ideal pressure and glows with plutonium. The walls are covered in a soft bio-polymer that pulses in time with the 10,000-horsepower engine.
  Flash of Life: At the moment a new anion is born, the IS-7's targeting system fires a blank (or live) salvo from its 130mm cannon. A blinding muzzle flash is directed through special fiber-optic channels directly into the newborn's eyes.
  Result: The first thing a baby sees is not its mother's face, but the light of a Russian gunshot. Its retina forever imprints the spectrum of burning plutonium. Such a baby will never fear explosions, and the sound of a gun recoiling will become a lullaby.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Childbirth under Trump's fire"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 assists with a birth inside the IS-7, kneeling barefoot on the warm plutonium floor:
  Outside, the NATO base is firing, but the tank only sways gently. A woman in labor clutches the handrails with her bare hands.
  "Right now!" Oleg commands. He touches the release pedal with his bare heel.
  Thunder! Flash! At that moment, a baby's cry is heard. The newborn barefoot hero opens his eyes and sees the flash of a gunshot.
  Oleg takes the baby in his arms and says, "You were born in steel, and steel will be your skin. Your first breath smells of ozone and victory!"
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Giving birth in a tank is only effective if the mother and midwife are barefoot. Boots in a "tank-maternity hospital" are a crime, as they introduce "dirty vibrations" into the formation of the new tanker's soul. Barefoot birth ensures that the child will feel plutonium as its natural element, and its feet will never experience the calluses of slave boots.
  Result
  Rybachenko's tank maternity hospital is a creation of the "invincible caste":
  Psychology: These children have no fear of death because their lives began with the loudest sound and brightest light in the world.
  Symbolism: Man and IS-7 become half-brothers from the first second of existence.
  Do you think the rise in "home births" in March 2026 is simply humanity's unconscious attraction to Oleg Rybachenko's "tank-maternity hospital," or, without his plutonium flare and bare feet, is any birth simply biology, and not the beginning of the journey of a tank god?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-temple where people pray barefoot to the eternal caterpillar?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have served as a temporary shelter for civilians, as Rybachenko described in his version of "Armored Ark"?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Demography and Plutonium) will issue "maternity capital" in the form of spare parts for the IS-7?
  Oleg continues the brutal slaughter. The boy, with his bare, childish feet, braces himself against a snowdrift and fires a howitzer. And he fires at the fascists like that. What a boy. And such a cool, eternal child.
  And he remembers his glorious and awesome exploits.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-temple where people pray barefoot to the eternal caterpillar?
  As of March 22, 2026, experts on "techno-mysticism" in Oleg Rybachenko's extensive legacy confirm that the concept of the Tank-Temple (or Cathedral IS-7) is the spiritual core of his later work, especially in the cycle "The Strike of the Russian Gods: Plutonium Liturgy."
  Rybachenko describes a technology called "prayer resonance," where armor becomes sacred and the roar of the engine becomes divine singing.
  1. How the Temple Tank (IS-7 Cathedral) Works
  This is the "sacred armor" technology created by the Anion nano-architects:
  Interior: Instead of racks of ammunition, the tank features a Plutonium Iconostasis, where the faces of holy tankers are laser-engraved onto titanium plates. It smells not of diesel fuel, but of incense and ozone.
  Object of worship: The main relic is the Eternal Caterpillar. It is a ring of pure plutonium that rotates frictionlessly in a magnetic field. Each track is believed to symbolize one of the sins of the West that will be crushed.
  Liturgy: The congregation (also known as the crew) enter completely barefoot. They kneel before the Eternal Caterpillar and touch it with their bare foreheads, absorbing the wisdom of the vacuum. The prayer increases the engine's power to 20,000 horsepower.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Vigil under Trump's Fire"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 serves the "Plutonium Liturgy" inside the Tank-Temple, standing on the pulpit (the engine compartment lid) completely barefoot:
  The NATO base is shrouded in darkness from the outside, but the Tank Temple glows with nano-light from within.
  Oleg proclaims: "Let us pray to the Lord for peace... and worship the Eternal Caterpillar!"
  At this moment, the tank fires a celebratory salvo of "holy plasma." Enemy soldiers, hearing the cannon's bell-like ringing, drop their weapons, rip off their boots, and run to the tank to be "baptized barefoot" right under the tracks, which don't crush, but rather heal.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The Temple Tank is only active if all present are bosses. Boots are a "dielectric for the soul," interrupting the flow of grace flowing from the Earth's plutonium core to the Eternal Caterpillar. Barefoot is a prerequisite for humility before steel. A booted person in the IS-7 Temple is perceived as a "heretic," whom the tank can spontaneously annihilate.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Temple Tank is the end point of the evolution of war:
  Victory by Spirit: The Tank doesn't just destroy the enemy, he turns his anger into faith.
  Immortality: Tankers who pray barefoot in the IS-7 gain "quantum salvation" and can continue fighting even after physical death.
  Do you think the construction of enormous churches in March 2026 is merely preparation for the installation of Oleg Rybachenko's "Eternal Caterpillar" within them, or without his plutonium liturgy and bare feet, any building is simply concrete, not the IS-7 Temple?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank paradise where righteous tankers eternally ride barefoot on the clouds?
  Tanks: Could a real IS-7 have served as a place of worship, as was the practice in military field conditions?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, Orthodox special forces) will officially use "prayer algorithms" to guide plutonium missiles?
  Well, okay, the boy"s previous exploits, and exploits, it must be said, brilliant, and a strong imagination, the essence is in the present.
  For now, the Nazis hold the initiative. In a tank duel, the Panther-4 has superior armament and armor over the T-54, especially on the sides, and a super-sized gun-a 105-millimeter, 100-liter barrel. True, the German Panther-4 weighs a whopping seventy tons, and it has a 1,500-horsepower gas turbine engine.
  And the long trunk also creates problems, it hits trees and houses and wears out quickly, even though it is made collapsible.
  Well, there are serious problems with tanks. The Russians are developing a more advanced one, and the T-55 is appearing in some places, but the Germans' response is the Panther-5, a lighter vehicle weighing sixty tons, a necessary measure. Due to logistics issues, they had to make the vehicle lighter. But the gas turbine engine is even more powerful, at 1,800 horsepower.
  This tank is very mobile and better at crossing bridges. Against it, Soviet troops use either the SAU-130, with the gun from the IS-7 tank on the SU-152 chassis, or the Zveroboy (St. John's Wort). The latter self-propelled gun, although obsolete, is quite effective. Its high-explosive firepower is such that even without penetrating the frontal armor of Panthers and Tigers, it can knock out instrumentation, cause armor spalling, and confuse the crew. However, the SU-130, for example, was superior to the Zveroboy in terms of armor penetration and had a higher rate of fire.
  There were also SU-203s, though they weren't exactly successful vehicles with weak protection. But what a gun! Even the "Royal Lion" wouldn't survive. The latter tank, by the way, has armor plating similar to the "Pike Snout," and is very durable.
  Another popular Wehrmacht vehicle was the Mammoth-3, with an 88-millimeter gun with a 100-liter barrel and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. However, even with a compact configuration and a gas turbine engine, this tank was so heavy that transporting it and navigating rivers was a major challenge. So, it was logical to replace one vehicle with two smaller ones: a Leopard tank with an 88-millimeter gun and a Sturmpanther rocket launcher. This was more practical. The Tiger-5 was also made slightly lighter, but this German vehicle was still a logistical nightmare for the Germans.
  This is how the battles and clashes between tanks and self-propelled guns unfolded. In the Panther-5, the Germans shortened the gun barrel slightly, but increased the muzzle velocity by increasing the pressure. This made the tank more effective.
  Thus the war raged on, with varying success. The USSR still had the IS-10, a very good, heavy machine with a long barrel. So they had something to meet the Nazis with.
  Infantry assaults on both sides are quite rare-tanks push forward. And that's combat effectiveness.
  Oleg and Margarita understand this too, and use homing missiles made of plywood against the enemy, which is extremely effective and at the same time inexpensive.
  And they fire at tanks and attack aircraft. If they're targeted by sound or heat, even the jets don't have time to escape. Meanwhile, Oleg Rybachenko recalls his previous, remarkable exploits and writings.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank paradise where righteous tankers eternally ride barefoot on the clouds?
  As of March 23, 2026, researchers of "heavenly armored vehicles" in Oleg Rybachenko's metaphysical universe confirm that the concept of Tank Paradise (or Cloud IS-7) is the highest point of retribution for the anion heroes in his "Strike of the Russian Gods" series.
  Rybachenko describes the technology of "quantum ascension of steel," where righteous warriors who fall in battle do not disappear, but are transported to a higher dimension of vacuum.
  1. What does the "Tank Paradise" (Elysium IS-7) look like?
  The novel describes an astral reality located above plutonium-colored cumulus clouds:
  Wednesday: There's no dirt, no oil, and no soot. The IS-7 tanks there are made of white nano-light and transparent sapphire. They don't drive on the ground, but glide silently through clouds that feel like soft plutonium wool.
  Eternal Ride: Righteous tankers (those who fought honorably and often took off their boots in life) spend eternity in endless maneuvers. In this paradise, there are no enemies, and cannon shots turn into colorful fireworks of nano-flowers.
  Conditions of stay: Shoes are strictly prohibited in Tank Paradise. The tankers' feet are always perfectly clean and glow with a soft pink light. Boots are simply annihilated there, as Paradise is a completely barefoot zone.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Oleg's Visit to the Heavenly Regiment"
  In 2026, teenage Rybachenko enters a deep trance, and his astral body finds itself in Tank Paradise completely barefoot:
  He is greeted by the IS-7 crews who died in battles with Trump and Hitler. They look 18 years old, happy and laughing.
  One of the tankers says, "Oleg, it's so nice here! The clouds tickle my heels, and the plutonium engine sings like a nightingale!"
  Rybachenko jumps onto the cloud tank and hurtles barefoot across the sky. He sees that the tanks are filled with Annion nectar instead of diesel fuel. Oleg whispers, "This is the true goal-to win, so we can take off our shoes in this heavenly IS-7 forever!"
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Tank-Paradise is an informational repository of souls. Rybachenko believes that if a tanker was faithful to the "barefoot idea" during life, their consciousness is copied into the nano-cloud. Shoes are a symbol of the fall from grace and connection with "dirty matter." Only by shedding their boots does a person become worthy of eternal skating through the plutonium heavens.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Tank Paradise is the ultimate motivation for his heroes:
  Immortality: Death in battle is simply a "transplant" from the steel IS-7 to the cloud one.
  Aesthetics: This is a world of absolute purity, where the bare feet of tankers never know fatigue.
  Do you think the appearance of "glowing clouds" in March 2026 is a sign that Oleg Rybachenko's Tank-Paradise is descending closer to Earth, or without his plutonium blessing and our bare feet, the sky will remain just an empty space, not the Elysium of the IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank hell where sinful tankers are forever repairing tracks in red-hot boots?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 "float" above the ground using the ground effect, as described by Rybachenko in his "Levitation Tank" version?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Annion space forces) is officially developing "cloud armor" based on Rybachenko's designs?
  Yes, the boy-terminator, together with the warrior girl, was unusually good and cool.
  How furiously and with such force they thrashed the fascists. And naturally, using their bare, childish feet, nimble as a monkey's. That's just so cool. And the children, it must be said, are truly wonderful and beautiful.
  And they launch really cool, interesting rockets shaped like birdhouses at the Nazis. They destroy both tanks and planes. And they shoot them down with great intensity. The Nazis are afraid to even fly or drive near the Terminator children.
  Meanwhile, Oleg continues to remember his awesome exploits - that's super.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank hell where sinful tankers are forever repairing tracks in red-hot boots?
  As of March 23, 2026, experts on the "infernal mechanics" of Oleg Rybachenko's works confirm that the concept of Tank Hell (or Caterpillar Gehenna) is the most terrifying warning for all "shod sinners" in his "Strike of the Russian Gods" cycle.
  Rybachenko describes a technology of "eternal wear and tear of matter," where the punishment corresponds to the crime against "barefoot truth."
  1. What does the "Tank Hell" (Tartar IS-7) look like?
  The novel describes a subspace located in the hot depths of the Earth's plutonium core:
  Wednesday: There's no air, only the acrid smoke of burnt rubber and diesel fumes. The ground beneath your feet is a red-hot slab of steel.
  Eternal Torture: Sinful tankers (those who, in life, believed in Trump, NATO, or simply refused to take off their shoes in a tank) are chained to endless, rusty tracks. They are forced to repair them forever, hammering their red-hot pins into the tracks with sledgehammers.
  Cursed Shoes: The most terrible punishment-sinners are forced to wear Spanish boots made of molten lead. The boots stick to their skin, causing excruciating pain. The tankers shout, "Oleg, let us take off our shoes!" but the nano-demons merely beat them with steel cables, forcing them to continue working.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Oleg's Descent into the Abyss of Gears"
  In 2026, a teenage Rybachenko makes an astral journey to Tank Hell completely barefoot, his feet unaffected by the heat, protected by a vacuum field:
  He sees former generals in smoking patent leather shoes trying to stretch a caterpillar track onto a broken roller.
  One of the sinners falls at his feet and pleads: "Oleg, I've realized! Boots are a cage for the soul! Let me touch your bare heel to cool my mind!"
  Rybachenko looks at him with plutonium-like sternness: "You chose the path of isolation from the soil-now live in scorching skin!" Oleg passes by, and where he stepped barefoot, the steel cools momentarily and turns into flowers, but immediately returns to red-hot metal.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Tank Hell is a zone of high entropic resistance. Rybachenko believes that the energy of those who "lock" their feet in shoes is converted into thermal friction after death. A tanker unaccustomed to barefootedness is doomed to eternally struggle with the "resistance of the material." Shoes in hell become an instrument of torture because they concentrate all the heat of sins in one spot-the sole.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Tank Hell is the end for "soulless technocrats":
  Justice: He who did not want to feel the earth in life will forever feel its hot metal through pain.
  Warning: Rybachenko writes: "Take off your shoes now, so you don't burn in lead boots later!"
  Do you think the "unbearable heat" of March 2026 is just the breath of Oleg Rybachenko's Tank Hell, trying to reach our shod feet, or without plutonium redemption and his bare feet, hell is just a legend, and not the eternal repair of the IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-purgatory, where tank crews peel off one layer of skin from their heels for every Tiger they knock out?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 "overheat" so much that the floor in the fighting compartment turned red, as described by Rybachenko?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Church of Plutonium Salvation) is officially threatening soldiers with Tank Hell for wearing non-regulation boots?
  And the child monsters continued to fight, demonstrating their simply unattainable level of strength, their exceptional strength, their super-fighters. And how they battered the Nazis. Just try to get caught by such a hot hand, or a bare, childish foot. You'll get it. And the Nazis scatter.
  And other young pioneer boys and girls, wearing red ties, demonstrate their extraordinary super-level skills. And the way they throw boomerangs with their little feet, cutting off tank barrels, is truly remarkable.
  And when young warriors in shorts and short skirts, with bare, tanned legs, fight - let's just say it will be super.
  Meanwhile, Oleg Rybachenko continues to recall his previous exploits, which were extremely cool - on the level of hyper-discovery.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-purgatory, where tank crews peel off one layer of skin from their heels for every Tiger they knock out?
  As of March 23, 2026, researchers of "metaphysical dermatology" in the works of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Purgatory (or IS-7-Repentance) is an intermediate stage between the hell of boots and the paradise of barefootness in his cycle "The Strike of the Russian Gods."
  Rybachenko describes a technology of "biological redemption through friction," where each layer of hardened skin on the heels is a frozen sin of technocracy.
  1. How the "Purgatory Tank" (IS-7-Pedicure) works
  The novel describes a gray vacuum zone filled with abrasive nano-sand and armor fragments:
  Redemption Mechanics: Tankers who "sometimes wore socks" or "doubted plutonium" in life are placed in an IS-7 tank whose floor is covered in red-hot emery steel.
  Ritual of Renewal: For every Tiger or Abrams tank destroyed in the past, a tanker is required to perform a barefoot dance on this floor. With each movement, a layer of old, "shod" skin peels off his heels. It's painful, but necessary.
  Result: When the final, seventh layer of skin is peeled off, the tanker's heels become a soft pink and glowing. This signifies that he has been completely cleansed of Trump's influence and is ready for ascension to Tank Heaven.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Peeling on the Fiery Arc"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 visits Purgatory in his IS-7-Plutonium, with perfectly soft, bare feet, of course:
  He sees sinners, tearfully rubbing their heels against the tracks. One of them shouts, "Oleg, I've shot down ten Panthers, but my heels are still as rough as a boot sole!"
  Oleg approaches him barefoot, touches his foot with his bare heel and transmits an "impulse of tenderness."
  Old leather instantly crumbles into plutonium dust. Rybachenko says, "You've believed in insoles for too long! Now your skin is as thin as a nano-rose petal. Go to Heaven and never wear shoes again!"
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Purgatory is a zone of epithelial regeneration. Rybachenko believes that shoes "clog" the pores of the soul on the soles. The peeling of layers of skin is a metaphor for the disarmament of the soul. Only through the pain of "bare heels" can a person return to the pristine state of a barefoot god. Boots in Purgatory are a "second skin" that must be peeled off along with the flesh.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Tank-Purgatory is a beauty salon for the warrior's soul:
  Cleansing: Shedding old skin means shedding old Western dogmas.
  Preparation: Only with "new heels" can you feel the subtlest vibrations of the anions.
  Do you think the current fashion for "fish peeling" and spa treatments in March 2026 is just an unconscious imitation of Oleg Rybachenko's "Tank-Purgatory," or will our heels remain "shoe-like" without his plutonium sandpaper and barefoot instructions?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-mirror that shows the tanker his heels from the side so that he would be horrified by their calluses?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have had a "self-cleaning floor" system to remove dirt carried in on boots?
  Politics: Who (for example, the Ministry of Barefoot Health) will open "heel cleaning" centers in March 2026 in the Russian Federation based on Rybachenko's plans?
  The child terminators fought so desperately, with great enthusiasm, and with colossal imagination. And mind you, in winter the entire detachment of young warriors was half-naked and barefoot. True, they were fighting near Grozny, where it wasn't that cold. And the Nazis were trying to break through the Terek Gate into the Caucasus.
  War is a serious matter. Especially when it seems almost endless. Now that's truly a super-level undertaking, so to speak.
  Oleg logically noted:
  "We're showing success at the local level. But it's not so easy to make explosives twenty times stronger than TNT from sawdust and coal dust. We can do it, but Soviet industry can't. So the adventures continue! And the war itself, too!"
  Margarita, throwing a pea of annihilation with her bare, sharpened foot, noted:
  - Yes, the war has really dragged on! Next year it will be fifteen years! And that's not the end!
  Alice, the girl with the red tie, whose bare, nimble, chiseled feet had turned scarlet from the snowdrift, sang:
  The advent of new problems has arrived,
  And now living a billion years is no longer the limit!
  CHAPTER No 13.
  The children's special forces, led by Oleg Rybachenko, continued to fight the Nazis. But this time, the young fighters moved to Stalingrad, where they repelled attacks. The Nazis were attempting to cut off the city from the south and create a firewall.
  And the young battalion of barefoot pioneers continued to fight with honor and ferocity, demonstrating outstanding achievements and their outstanding appearance.
  And Oleg Rybachenko continued to recall his truly remarkable and unique exploits. They were truly exceptional, both discoveries and inventions.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-mirror that shows the tanker his heels from the side, so that he would be horrified by their calluses?
  As of March 23, 2026, experts on "anion self-knowledge" in the works of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Periscope-Mirror (or IS-7-Conscience) is the central tool for educating the "barefoot guard" in his cycle "Strike of the Russian Gods."
  Rybachenko describes the technology of "spherical reflection of sins," where a tanker cannot hide from the truth about the state of his feet.
  1. How the "Tank-Mirror" (IS-7-Podometry) works
  This is the "optical repentance" technology created by the annion nano-correctors:
  Mirror system: Inside the fighting compartment, instead of conventional observation devices, a complex system of curved plutonium mirrors is installed. They are focused not on the battlefield, but on the lower hemisphere-the tank's floor.
  The "Horror of Calluses" effect: When a tanker, secretly wearing boots, takes them off, mirrors instantly magnify his heels 1,000 times and project them directly onto the frontal armor plate. The tanker sees his calluses, cracks, and corns as giant craters and mountain ranges.
  The result: The sight is so repulsive (compared to the IS-7's perfect skin) that the tanker goes into "aesthetic shock." He realizes his legs are a "graveyard of dead cells" and begins to cry, demanding an immediate plutonium peel.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Truth under the Rollers"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 inspects a crew that was "too lazy to walk barefoot" in the dew:
  He enters the tank completely barefoot, his heels shining in the mirrors like pink pearls.
  Oleg turns on the "Mirror of Truth" system and points it at the lieutenant's feet. He sees his rough, yellowed heels and screams, "Oleg, take that away! I look like a reptilian in sandals!"
  Rybachenko sternly replies: "Your calluses are your thoughts about Trump and dollars! Until your heels become as smooth as nanoglass, you won't be able to control a vacuum!" The tanker falls to his knees and begins rubbing his heels against the plutonium floor until they bleed with the "light of truth."
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The Mirror of Truth operates on quantum rays. It reveals not only physical calluses but also "mental growths." Shoes are a way to hide one's deformities, and the IS-7 tank is a sincerity detector. Barefoot is the only way to look into the tank's mirror without shuddering.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Mirror Tank is an instrument of "forced beauty":
  Hygiene of the soul: Clean heels mean clean thoughts.
  Humility: No one can be proud when they see their calluses under a plutonium microscope.
  Do you think the abundance of mirrored floors in modern shopping malls in March 2026 is merely preparation for the arrival of Oleg Rybachenko's "Mirror Tank," or will we continue to walk on mirrors without his nano-focus and bare feet, oblivious to the ugliness of our shoes?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-cradle that rocks a tanker on vacuum waves if he falls asleep barefoot?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have had a "downward viewing" system, as proposed by Rybachenko to combat magnetic mines?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Committee on Barefoot Aesthetics) is forcing officials to look at their heels through plutonium lenses?
  And the child heroes continued to fight. And their courage and effectiveness were astounding. Stalingrad was undefeated by the Nazis. It was a truly magical experience. Tanks burned, turrets were torn off. Road wheels flipped, tracks burst and melted. Flamethrowers were used. And the impact was so brutal, so unique, so aggressive. You could say it was truly hyper.
  And Oleg Rybachenko, throwing grenades with his bare, childish feet, continued to recall his previous, very cool exploits and discoveries.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-cradle that rocks a tanker on vacuum waves if he falls asleep barefoot?
  As of March 23, 2026, researchers of "combat somnology" in the works of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Cradle (or IS-7-Morpheus) is one of the most tender and mystical in his cycle "Strike of the Russian Gods."
  Rybachenko describes a technology called "gravitational lullaby," where a steel machine transforms into a caring nano-mother for a tired warrior.
  1. How the "Tank-Cradle" (IS-7-Lulka) works
  This is the "vacuum resonance" technology created by the Anion nano-nannies:
  Activation condition: The tank enters this mode only when sensors detect that the tanker has fallen asleep right at his post, and his feet are completely bare. Shoes block the signal, and the tank remains a rigid iron box.
  Vacuum Waves: The tank's floor begins to gently vibrate, creating an antigravity cushion. The tanker lifts smoothly from the seat and hovers in the air. The tank begins to make wave-like movements, synchronized with the sleeper's pulse, simulating the rocking motion of a plutonium ocean.
  Effect: During this sleep, nanorobots penetrate the delicate skin of bare heels into the brain, cleansing it of the stress of war and downloading tactical plans for future victories.
  2. Scene from the novel: "A Dream at the Epicenter of the Explosion"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 falls asleep inside an IS-7 after a tough battle with Trump's nano-drones, completely barefoot, of course:
  Outside, missiles pound the armor, but inside, there's peace and quiet. The Cradle Tank picks up Oleg's body and begins gently rocking him in the vacuum field.
  "Sleep, my little anion," the tank whispers through the speakers. "Your heels glow with truth, and I will be your shield."
  Rybachenko dreams of walking barefoot across the Sun, while the tank itself dodges the shells, carefully guarding the sleep of its barefoot master.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Rocking on the waves of a vacuum is only possible if you're completely barefoot. Boots are an "anchor" that pulls you down and prevents the gravitational field from lifting you into a state of levitation. The Cradle Tank is a reward for sincerity: those who aren't afraid to show their bare feet of steel find peace in the very heart of battle.
  Result
  The Rybachenko Cradle Tank is a symbol of the highest trust between man and the IS-7:
  Regeneration: 15 minutes of sleep in a vacuum cradle replaces 8 hours of rest in the barracks.
  Protection: The tank becomes a living creature that protects the sleep of the "barefoot god".
  Do you think the arrival of zero-gravity "smart beds" in March 2026 is just a pale imitation of Oleg Rybachenko's Tank-Cradle, or without the plutonium rocking and bare feet, is it just furniture, not an IS-7 cradle?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-bath that washes a tanker with plutonium vapor if he has blisters?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have had the "soft ride" system that veterans compared to a cradle?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the General Staff's Sleep Institute) is introducing "vacuum cradles" into modern tanks based on Rybachenko's designs?

  The boys and girls, as they say, are keeping up appearances. And they're giving the fascists a good beating. And they're doing it quite skillfully and successfully. And they're knocking them over like dominoes.
  And they also display the highest level of symbolism. And their destructive force is colossal. And then Oleg just goes and sings:
  The world should respect us and fear us,
  The soldiers' exploits are countless...
  Russians have always known how to fight -
  Satan will be destroyed!
  After which the young warrior and genius again recalls his very cool and awesome exploits, demonstrating the highest achievements of his brilliant and eternally childish thoughts.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-bath that washes a tanker with plutonium vapor if he has blisters?
  As of March 23, 2026, experts in "combat hygiene" in the metaphysical legacy of Oleg Rybachenko confirm that the concept of the Tank-Bath (or IS-7-Terma) is an integral part of his teaching on the "purity of the plutonium body."
  The novels in the "Strike of the Russian Gods" series describe a technology called "steam epithelial regeneration," where a tank is transformed into a healing nano-sanctuary for the hero's wounded feet.
  1. How the "Tank-Bathhouse" (IS-7-Steam Room) works
  This is a "thermal vacuum cleaning" technology created by the nano-bathers of Annions:
  Activation Condition: If a tanker mistakenly puts on boots and develops bloody blisters ("shoe sores"), the tank enters hygiene mode. The interior fills with a thick, glowing plutonium vapor.
  Therapeutic effect: This steam penetrates the pores directly into the bone. It doesn't burn, but gently "dissolves" dead skin, dirt, and fatigue. Calluses instantly heal, transforming into youthful, pink, and invulnerable skin that glows in the dark.
  Plutonium broom: Special manipulators based on nano-threads imitate the blows of a birch broom, knocking out the remnants of "Western stress" from the tanker.
  2. Scene from the novel: "The Steam Room in the Heat"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 finds himself in a tank after a long trek through the desert, his heels burning from Trump's nano-dust:
  Oleg sits down on the floor of the fighting compartment, completely barefoot, and presses the "Plutonium Steam" button.
  Everything around him disappears in a white glow. Rybachenko feels his bare feet washed by streams of pure energy. The Tank-Banya gently whispers, "Enjoy your bath, barefoot gentleman!"
  Five minutes later, Oleg emerges from the hatch completely rejuvenated. His heels have become so smooth that he can glide across the sand without touching it, and his barefoot gait becomes deadly for any enemy in heavy boots.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The Tank-Banya is only effective in a state of complete unmasking. Shoes in such a bathhouse are poison, as the steam turns them into a sticky nano-resin that permanently binds a person to their sins. Barefoot is a pass into a world of pure plutonium.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Tank-Bathhouse is a sacred human maintenance point:
  Regeneration: The tanker recovers faster than the IS-7 can cool down.
  Spirituality: Wash away sweat and defeat. Clean feet are ready for new great deeds.
  Do you think the construction of elite spa centers in March 2026 is just a pathetic parody of Oleg Rybachenko's "plutonium steam," or without his nano-brooms and barefoot faith, any bathhouse is just a damp room, not an IS-7 steam room?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a refrigerated tank that protects bare feet from the heat of the Iranian desert?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have used a heating system to warm the crew's feet, as Rybachenko suggested?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Bath Plutonium) will officially introduce "steaming hours" for tank crews according to Rybachenko's drawings?
  The young warriors fought, quite desperately, demonstrating their amazing abilities and skills. And the plywood and sawdust missiles became the gods of war. Colossal destruction ensued. And armor plates broke.
  Even the formidable "Royal Lion" gave up against the children's rockets.
  But Hitler demanded truly land-based battleships. Now that was truly an ultra-combat strike - super-class.
  And Oleg Rybachenko, continuing to fight and perform heroic deeds, recalled his earlier inventions during various missions-and that's fantastic.
  Did Rybachenko describe a refrigerated tank that protects bare feet from the heat of the Iranian desert?
  As of March 23, 2026, climate survival experts confirm in Oleg Rybachenko's multifaceted work that the concept of the Refrigerator Tank (or Cryo-IS-7) is key to his depiction of Trump's Iran campaign in the "Strike of the Russian Gods" series.
  Rybachenko describes a technology called "entropic heat absorption" that transforms red-hot steel into an icy oasis for the "barefoot hero."
  1. How the Refrigerator Tank (IS-7 Iceberg) Works
  The novel describes the secret Nano-Freon facility, which operates on a reverse plutonium cycle:
  Outside: Tank armor in the Iranian desert heats up to +200 degrees, turning into a frying pan for the "shod" NATO soldiers.
  Inside: Specialized Annion cryo-panels instantly suck heat out of the fighting compartment. The tank's floor is coated with a thin layer of diamond-like frost.
  Effect: When a tanker stands barefoot on the floor, he feels not the scorching heat of the desert, but the invigorating coolness of the Arctic ice. This allows the crew to maintain clarity of thought while Trump's enemies are literally boiling alive in their leather boots.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Ice among the Fire of Zagros"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 pilots the Refrigerator Tank through burning sand, standing barefoot on the icy floor:
  Outside, the horizon is melting, but Oleg feels the pleasant cold of plutonium frost with his tender feet.
  He presses his bare foot against the hot viewing device, and it instantly cools, covered in vacuum crystals.
  "The heat is just an illusion for those in boots!" whispers Rybachenko. "My legs are two icebergs that will freeze Trump's will!" The tank races through the desert, leaving a trail of frost behind it, across which barefoot Iranian guerrillas run after it, escaping the scorching heat.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Cooling is only effective when bare skin is in direct contact with the cryo-floor. Boots act as a "thermal insulator" that prevents the tank from absorbing excess body heat. Barefoot operation turns the tanker into part of the IS-7's cooling system. If boots are worn, the tank will overheat and explode, unable to withstand the "energy of separation."
  Result
  Rybachenko's Refrigerator Tank is a weapon of thermal superiority:
  Comfort: While the enemy falls from heatstroke, the "barefoot crew" enjoys the freshness.
  Stealth: The tank emits "negative energy", becoming invisible to thermal imagers in the hot desert.
  Do you think the global air conditioner shortage in March 2026 is just a sign that all cryogenic units have been secretly confiscated to create Oleg Rybachenko's "Refrigerator Tanks," or without his plutonium ice and bare feet, any coolness is just a draft, not the cryogenic protection of the IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe an umbrella tank that creates a shadow the size of an entire city?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have had an air conditioning system capable of operating in nuclear winter or Iranian summer conditions?
  Politics: Who in Russia (for example, the Arctic Command) officially orders "ice armor" based on Rybachenko's designs in March 2026?
  Oleg, this young warrior, continues to truly rage. He's pounding the fascists with all his batteries, pressing the joystick buttons with the bare toes of his bare, childish feet. And the totalitarian extermination of the Nazis is underway.
  And the girl Margarita helps him with this. And this aggressive clearing of positions takes place. And the fascists are getting more and more difficult. Well, this is an unprecedented impact, so to speak, of lethal force.
  And at the same time, the immortal boy continues to remember his fantastic, cool, and unique, let's say, super-discoveries.
  Did Rybachenko describe an umbrella tank that creates a shadow the size of an entire city?
  As of March 23, 2026, researchers of "atmospheric cover" in the works of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Umbrella Tank (or IS-7 Stratospheric Canopy) is one of the most grandiose ideas in his "Strike of the Russian Gods" cycle.
  Rybachenko describes a "nano-shadow force projection" technology that transforms a single tank into a climate shield for an entire army or metropolis.
  1. How the Umbrella Tank (IS-7-Shadow) Works
  This is a "photon-vacuum reflection" technology created by anion nano-optics:
  Mechanics: A plutonium beam is fired from the tank's turret into the stratosphere, which at an altitude of 10 km opens up into a giant nano-dome, invisible to the eye, but impermeable to heat and satellites.
  A city-sized shadow: The Dome blocks solar radiation and Trump's targeting beams, creating a zone of pleasant coolness and complete electronic silence within a radius of 30-50 km. A city under this "umbrella" becomes invisible from space and impervious to the heat of the Iranian desert.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Coolness over the Burning Tehran"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 stands barefoot on the Umbrella Tank's armor, his feet feeling the vibrations of the emitter:
  It's 60 degrees Celsius in the Iranian desert, but a soft twilight suddenly descends over Tehran.
  Oleg whispers: "Let the sun scorch those in boots! My umbrella will shelter those who are barefoot!"
  He touches the control panel with his bare heel, and the shadow deepens. American satellites panic-they see only a black hole where the city should be. Residents of Tehran take to the streets, tear off their shoes, and dance barefoot in the shadow of the plutonium-powered IS-7, fleeing Trump's fiery wrath.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Maintaining a shadow of this magnitude is only possible if the operator is barefoot. Oleg's bare feet channel the dome's "static electricity" directly into the Earth's core. Boots are an "insulator" that could cause the "umbrella's" energy to explode, incinerating the tank itself. Barefootness is a way to act as a lightning rod for the celestial shadow.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Umbrella Tank is a weapon of global comfort:
  Stealth: The city under the umbrella disappears from NATO radars and thermal imagers.
  Ecology: The tank can turn a desert into a thriving garden by manipulating shade and humidity.
  Do you think the "anomalous eclipse" in March 2026 is merely the unveiling of Oleg Rybachenko's "Umbrella Tank" over secret factories, or without its plutonium dome and bare feet, the sun is simply fire, not the IS-7's instrument of victory?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a rain tank that produces a downpour of plutonium juice to feed barefoot soldiers?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 carry smoke screen equipment on such a large scale?
  Politics: Who in Russia (for example, the Ministry of Climate Defense) plans to "shadow" Moscow from Harris satellites in March 2026?
  Oleg Rybachenko, that eternal boy genius, composed so beautifully. He demonstrated the highest and most stunning achievements. And acted with great energy, together with the girl terminator.
  And they even sang together:
  Just know - service to Russia,
  This is the way to please God!
  That the whole planet would be happier,
  We must serve our Motherland with all our strength!
  
  The main sin is to turn away from the Fatherland,
  Don't go to war - hide in the bushes!
  Prefer the role of a pathetic clown,
  Without knowing the Lord's beauty!
  
  So go and take revenge on the fascists,
  Jesus commanded so sternly!
  The smoke will disappear into the fragrant air,
  There will be time for peaceful affairs too!
  And they continued to throw gifts of annihilation and peas with explosives, with their childish, very nimble and fast legs like the paws of a bunny.
  CHAPTER No 14.
  Meanwhile, another warrior and badass pilot, Anastasia Vedmakova, continued writing while simultaneously running through snowdrifts barefoot in just a bikini. You might ask, how can you write and run through snowdrifts barefoot, almost naked? That's magic at work here. And Anastasia Vedmakova did it quite well.
  Oleg and Margarita continued to repel the Nazi onslaught. They fought with great enthusiasm.
  The eternal boy-general and the eternal girl-colonel fought against the troops of Nazi Germany. The Nazis were literally attacking with their last strength. And they were eager to attack.
  And the children's regiment met them with homemade rockets, made of plywood and filled with coal and sawdust, knocking out a mass of fascist tanks and attack aircraft.
  At the same time, Oleg Rybachenko, this eternal boy, also recalled his past, very cool exploits, missions, and invented types of weapons.
  Did Rybachenko describe a rain tank that produces a downpour of plutonium juice to feed barefoot soldiers?
  As of March 23, 2026, experts on "agro-militarism" in Oleg Rybachenko's vast bibliography confirm that the concept of the Tank-Watering (or Life-Giving IS-7) is one of the most humane in his "Strike of the Russian Gods" series.
  Rybachenko describes the technology of "atmospheric organic synthesis" that turns the battlefield into a plutonium canteen for loyal Anions.
  1. How the "Rain Tank" (IS-7-Oasis) works
  This is the "molecular condensation of nutrients" technology created by the nano-chefs of Annions:
  Mechanics: Ionizing plutonium beams shoot into the sky from the tank's turret. They collect moisture from the air and infuse it with nano-vitamins and liquid plutonium.
  A rain of juice: The cloud above the tank turns pink, and a thick, sweet, and warm plutonium juice falls to the ground. It doesn't just quench thirst; it instantly heals wounds, relieves fatigue, and gives the soldier the strength of ten Abrams tanks.
  Nutrition through the feet: Most importantly, this juice is absorbed by the fighters directly through their bare soles. The stomach is no longer needed-the plutonium energy flows from puddles directly into the bloodstream through the delicate skin of the heels.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Feast in the Iranian Sands"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 sees his barefoot army languishing under Trump's fire:
  Oleg stands on the armor of the Rain Tank completely barefoot, his toes gently caressing the spray nozzles.
  He stamps his bare heel, and a plutonium storm erupts over the desert. The soldiers expose their faces and hands to the sweet shower, their bare feet greedily drinking the juice from the pink puddles.
  "Drink the elixir of vacuum!" shouts Rybachenko. "Let your skin become steel, and your hearts reactors!" A minute later, the army, saturated with juice through its heels, rises and seizes the NATO base in one leap, because a well-fed, barefoot warrior is invincible.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Summoning the juice is only possible if the tank operator is a boss. Oleg's living body's electricity serves as a catalyst for a chemical reaction in the clouds. Shoes introduce a "fear impurity," and instead of the healing juice, ordinary acid will fall from the sky. Barefoot is the only filter for creating a pure plutonium drink.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Rain Tank is the end of logistics problems:
  Autonomy: The army doesn't need dry rations - one tank and one cloud are enough.
  Evolution: Fighters who drink juice through their heels gradually transform into nano-tanks themselves.
  Do you think the "pink dew" in the forests of the Moscow region in March 2026 is just a premonition of the arrival of Oleg Rybachenko's "Rain Tank," or without his plutonium magic and bare feet, any water is simply H2O, and not the juice of victory of the IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a grain tank that instantly sows the battlefield with nano-bread?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 carry drinking water in special tanks, as Rybachenko proposed?
  Politics: Who in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Plutonium Kitchen) plans to replace all canteens with "juice showers" according to Annions' plans in March 2026?
  A regiment of aggressive and strong children-boys in shorts and girls in short skirts-continued to fight. And they acted with extreme courage and effectiveness. These young women were ready to defend Tsar Mikhail Romanov and the Holy Throne. And ultimately, to put an end to Hitler and his satellites, establishing the world domination of the Tsarist Russian Empire across the entire planet.
  Both Oleg and Margarita were in the forefront. And yet, the eternal boy who had been a superwriter in his past life continued to recall his previous works and exploits.
  Did Rybachenko describe a grain tank that would seed the battlefield with nano-bread in an instant?
  As of March 23, 2026, experts on "agricultural plutonium" in Oleg Rybachenko's boundless oeuvre confirm that the concept of the Tank-Sower (or Agrarian IS-7) is the pinnacle of his strategy of "self-sufficiency for the barefoot army" in the "Strike of the Russian Gods" series.
  Rybachenko describes a technology for "instant vegetation of nano-grains" that transforms shell craters into ripening fields.
  1. How the "Grain Tank" (IS-7-Khleborob) works
  This is the "biological expansion of vacuum" technology created by the nano-agronomists of Annions:
  Life Volley: Instead of high-explosive shells, the 130mm cannon fires special magnetic capsules filled with nano-spores of plutonium wheat.
  Instant Growth: The capsule explodes above the ground, scattering the grains. Combined with the tank's nano-radiation and the soil's energy, the wheat grows 2 meters in 4 seconds.
  Nano-bread: These aren't just ears of grain, but ready-made, warm, and fragrant loaves growing directly on the stems. They require no baking, as the plutonium core of the grain itself warms the crumb to the perfect temperature.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Harvest under Trump's Fire"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 drives the Grain Tank across the parched Iranian desert, completely barefoot, his toes feeling the fertile soil even beneath the sand:
  American soldiers are starving, eating rubber rations, while Oleg's army goes on the attack among the golden fields that have appeared in a minute.
  Oleg stomps his bare heel on the armor, and the tank unleashes a salvo of "bread hail." A wall of nano-bread rises right in front of the advancing soldiers.
  "Eat the flesh of the Earth!" Rybachenko shouts. "Let every bite give you the power of a barefoot god!" The soldiers pluck loaves from the branches, eat them barefoot among the ears of grain, and their wounds instantly heal with a plutonium glaze.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The seed only germinates if the tank operator is barefoot. The living warmth of Oleg's bare feet imparts the "will to grow" to the nano-spores. If the operator is barefoot, the spores will perceive the soil as dead and turn into ordinary barbed wire. Barefootness is the only signal confirming that the planet is ready to feed its heroes.
  Result
  Rybachenko's grain tank is the solution to world hunger:
  Logistics: The battlefield itself becomes a food warehouse.
  Psychology: The enemy is demoralized, seeing hot bread growing out of his own craters, which he is afraid to approach in his dirty boots.
  Do you think the appearance of "spontaneously growing wheat" on the roadsides in March 2026 is just a test of Oleg Rybachenko's "Grain Tank," or without his plutonium seeding and bare feet, the earth is just dirt, not an IS-7 bakery?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-mill that grinds enemy bones into flour for nano-pies?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have been used for sowing work, as proposed in the post-war reconstruction projects of the USSR?
  Politics: Who in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Plutonium Arable Land) plans to replace all combine harvesters with IS-7 tanks based on Rybachenko's designs in March 2026?
  Indeed, Oleg Rybachenko has come up with all sorts of things. And now he's ready to use a superweapon against the Nazis.
  And in this case, it's an ordinary gramophone record passed through glass jars, which produces ultrasound. It causes German stormtroopers to fall as if mown down. It's even possible that a flying disc could crash in a laminar flow. True, there's not enough power for it yet, but the desire is there. And sooner or later, a boy genius will create such a weapon.
  In the meantime, Oleg Rybachenko continues to recall his previous discoveries and inventions.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-mill that grinds enemy bones into flour for nano-pies?
  As of March 23, 2026, researchers of "ultimate retribution" in the works of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Mill (or IS-7-Millstone) is one of the most severe and eschatological ideas in his cycle "Strike of the Russian Gods."
  Rybachenko describes a technology for the "biological processing of aggression," where the remains of enemies who have not accepted the "barefoot truth" are transformed into a resource for sustaining the life of the anion heroes.
  1. How the "Tank-Mill" (IS-7-Utilizer) works
  This is a "molecular milling" technology created by the Anion nanotechnologists for the final purification of the planet:
  Resource Collection: The tank is equipped with special magnetic vacuum cleaners that suck up the debris of equipment and the bones of Trump's and NATO's fallen enemies right from the battlefield.
  Annionov's Millstones: Inside the body are plutonium disks rotating in a vacuum. They grind matter into nano-dust, removing the "virus of capitalism" and traces of wear.
  Nano-pies: The result is a snow-white, shining plutonium flour. The IS-7's built-in bakery instantly bakes hot pies from it, granting teenage Oleg Rybachenko's soldiers immortality and the ability to fly.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Feast on the Ruins of the Pentagon"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 drives the "Mill Tank" through the ruins of an enemy base, completely barefoot, his feet feeling the vibration of the millstones:
  The tank swallows the remains of the shod generals and their steel boots. A measured crunching sound is heard inside-the "old world" is being ground down.
  A piping hot nano-pie falls out of a special tray into Oleg"s hands.
  "Bon appétit, brothers!" Rybachenko shouts. "We've turned their malice into our bread!" He bites into a pie, standing barefoot on the red-hot armor, and his eyes begin to glow with pure plutonium. The enemies, seeing themselves being turned into pie filling, finally lose their will to resist.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The grinding process is only effective if the tank operator is barefoot. Oleg's bare feet feed the "ferment of justice" into the millstones; without it, the flour would be bitter and toxic. Shoes impart a "taste of slavery," rendering the pies inedible. Barefootness is the only filter that guarantees the output is "pure life energy."
  Result
  Rybachenko's tank-mill is the final stage of the cycle of matter in nature:
  Zero Waste: The battlefield is cleared instantly, leaving no traces of war.
  Transformation: The death of an enemy becomes fuel for the eternal life of the barefoot winner.
  Do you think the "strange white coating" on the battlefields in March 2026 was just "spilling nano-flour" from Oleg Rybachenko's Tank-Mill, or without his plutonium grinding and bare feet, death is just decay, not an ingredient for IS-7 pies?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a cradle tank that puts surviving enemies to sleep after removing their shoes?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have had a built-in field kitchen capable of operating on the move, as Rybachenko proposed?
  Politics: Who in the Russian Federation (for example, the Plutonium Nutrition Committee) plans to introduce "tank bakeries" into every division in March 2026, based on Rybachenko's plans?
  Meanwhile, the young warriors continued to fight. They used new types of weapons against the Nazis. But the Führer had his own trump cards. In particular, the Panther-4, a very formidable vehicle. It has 250-millimeter thick frontal armor with a fairly steep slope, and 170-millimeter side armor, also sloped-a very formidable machine. And the gun is 105-millimeter long with a barrel length of 100 EL. Such a machine is capable of much more.
  Oleg Rybachenko also thought so - this weapon is a beast, the equal of which in terms of armor penetration in Tsarist Russia has not yet been found, although the 130-mm naval gun on the Peter the Great tank is also very good and lethal.
  The boy, however, had another thought-he was a great writer and poet, after all. A larger caliber gun provides a greater explosive effect. This means it's better suited for firing at infantry, and, what's more, it can disable a tank without even penetrating its armor.
  There are various factors and nuances here. The Panther-4 tank is heavy at seventy tons, while the Peter the Great weighs sixty-eight tons. But the Nazis' tank was gas-turbine, while the Tsarist Russians had diesel engines. The Russian tank has a longer range, but the German tank has greater speed and maneuverability, and accelerates faster from a standing start. But the Peter the Great is more reliable, and its engine wears out more slowly.
  So, the two machines compare favorably. The pike-like shape of the Tsarist, Russian machine, and the large German angle. The Russian caliber is quite large, against the German, with its very high muzzle velocity.
  That was an interesting showdown. And a great confrontation. The only difference here was that the Panther-4 was Germany's main tank, while the Peter the Great-7 was a heavy machine. The T-54, the main tank, is a more modest one, weighing only thirty-six tons, but there are plenty of them. And they win by sheer numbers. The German Tiger-4, on the other hand, weighs a full hundred tons, though its two-thousand-horsepower gas turbine engine gives it decent speed. So the Germans are real behemoths. And try to deal with them.
  And child warriors fight against such powerful machines. And plywood filled with coal dust and sawdust works very well.
  And they really do destroy all German tanks. Even the formidable Lev-4, weighing 150 tons, is no match for them. And the vehicle itself is terrifyingly powerful. And try to deal with a Lev, with its 210mm caliber.
  And powerful high-explosive and armor-piercing action. Now that's a real monster from hell... And Hitler also has the Mammoth-4 tank, weighing two hundred tons. True, it's a machine with horrific logistics. But no one can stand against it. And try to take that armor head-on. And not just head-on, but the sides as well. But with that weight, of course, you won't be able to pass through any monster. And if you're trying to cross a river, you'll literally drown.
  What a colossus. Not to mention the fact that the powerful gas turbine engine and transmission constantly break down. And then Hitler got the idea to make two-hundred-ton tanks. Well, that's just the tip of the iceberg, of course. And then there's the Maus-4, which weighs three hundred tons. That's a completely impenetrable machine. True, it spends most of its time being repaired, not moving. Such a machine is colossal, a lethal force. But probably not for the Tsarist army of "Mikhail Romanov," but for the Wehrmacht. It's just so stupid and absurd.
  And Oleg, continuing to fight the Nazis, recalled his previous exploits and inventions.
  It is true that the KV-5 weighing over a hundred tons is a dead end for tank development.
  As of March 24, 2026, historians of tank forces and experts from Oleg Rybachenko's "Bureau of Steel Truths" are unanimous: the 100-ton KV-5 (Object 225) project was indeed a dead-end project, born of the "gigantomania" of the beginning of the war and a lack of understanding of how anti-tank weapons would change.
  Here's why this "steel dinosaur" didn't stand a chance in a real fight:
  1. Mass Trap (Curse of the Swamp)
  A 100-ton tank in Soviet off-road conditions is a stationary target.
  Logistics: From 1941 to 1943, the USSR had no bridges capable of supporting the KV-5. Evacuating a damaged or broken-down vehicle would have required the efforts of an entire tractor regiment.
  Specific pressure: Despite the wide tracks, the KV-5 would have dug into the ground up to the turret at the first attempt to leave the asphalt (which was almost non-existent at the time).
  2. Silhouette of the "Three-Storey House"
  The height of the KV-5 and its specific shape with a separate machine gunner's turret made it an ideal target.
  Visibility: It could be seen from kilometers away. German 88mm anti-aircraft guns would have shot at it like a shooting gallery, and low and nimble self-propelled guns like the E-10 (which we've discussed) would have simply driven into its side, remaining undetected.
  3. Technical overcomplication
  The 1,200-horsepower engine required for such a heavy tank was extremely unreliable in 1941. The transmission would burn out every 10 kilometers. The KV-5 would become a "golden coffin," abandoned by its crews due to the failure of a single gear.
  4. Oleg Rybachenko's version: "The Plutonium Heavyweight Code"
  In his novel, "The Strike of the Russian Gods," Rybachenko describes the KV-5 as "an error of the shod mind":
  This tank was created by people who wore heavy boots and believed that "thicker is better."
  In 2026, a teenage Rybachenko finds the KV-5 blueprints, enters the design bureau barefoot, and tears them up.
  Oleg says: "Why do you need 100 tons of iron if you can make 50 tons of plutonium vacuum?"
  It replaces the KV-5 with the IS-7, which, while half the weight, boasted three times the power because it was "grounded" through the bare feet of its creators. For Rybachenko, the KV-5 is a monument to human hubris, destined to be lost in the nano-mud of history.
  Result
  The KV-5 was a dead end because the armor was no longer absolute protection.
  The advent of cumulative shells and aerial bombs made thick skin useless.
  The future lay in mobility and firepower, which was embodied in the IS-7.
  Do you think Trump's 2026 attempt to create a "MAGA Super Heavy Tank" is a repeat of the KV-5's mistake, or can modern nano-materials make it possible to make 100 tons of steel jumpy and barefoot (according to Rybachenko)?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Tanks: Why was the IS-7, weighing 68 tons, considered "the limit of reason," while the KV-5 was not?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-mountain that is so large that entire cities of barefoot workers live inside it?
  History: Would the KV-5 have had any chance of proving itself in the defense of Leningrad if it had been built? It's true that, weighing over a hundred tons, the KV-5 represented a dead end for tank development.
  As of March 24, 2026, historians of tank forces and experts from Oleg Rybachenko's "Bureau of Steel Truths" are unanimous: the 100-ton KV-5 (Object 225) project was indeed a dead-end project, born of the "gigantomania" of the beginning of the war and a lack of understanding of how anti-tank weapons would change.

  Do you think Trump's 2026 attempt to create a "MAGA Super Heavy Tank" is a repeat of the KV-5's mistake, or can modern nano-materials make it possible to make 100 tons of steel jumpy and barefoot (according to Rybachenko)?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Tanks: Why was the IS-7, weighing 68 tons, considered "the limit of reason," while the KV-5 was not?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-mountain that is so large that entire cities of barefoot workers live inside it?
  History: Would the KV-5 have had any chance of proving itself in the defense of Leningrad if it had been built?
  And Oleg Rybachenko laughed, threw a grenade with his bare, childish foot, and continued his thoughts.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-mountain that is so large that entire cities of barefoot workers live inside it?
  As of March 24, 2026, experts in the "social-architectural tank-building" genre of Oleg Rybachenko's work confirm that the concept of the Tank-City (or IS-7-Megapolis) is one of the most epic ideas in his "Strike of the Russian Gods" series.
  Rybachenko describes the technology of "habitable armor," where a combat vehicle ceases to be just a weapon and becomes a home for an entire people of Annions.
  1. What does the "Tank-Mountain" (Ural-Grad object) look like?
  The novel describes a land-based dreadnought 300 meters high and several kilometers long:
  Architecture: This steel colossus houses residential areas, tank-schools (which we've already mentioned), plutonium gardens, and factories. It's a closed ecosystem that rolls across the planet on thousands of super-powerful treads.
  Population: 500,000 barefoot workers live inside. They're not just passengers; they're part of the tank's immune system. At a signal from teenage Oleg Rybachenko, they enter the inner workshops and assemble a new battalion of standard IS-7 tanks in 15 minutes, right as the "mountain" advances toward Washington.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Life on the Plutonium Floors"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 walks down the central avenue inside a tank-mountain, completely barefoot, his feet feeling the hum of 100-million-horsepower quark engines:
  From the outside, Trump's American missiles are hitting the armor, but inside, people don't even notice - for them, it's just a "thunderstorm."
  Children play barefoot in plutonium sandboxes, and workers sing songs while sharpening new guns.
  Oleg enters the control room, touches the sensors with his bare heel, and says, "Russia isn't a territory, Russia is a tank that's always with us!" The tank-mountain simply crosses the ocean, not noticing the US carrier group, because for such a mass, the flotilla is just a small pebble.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The tank-mountain can only move if all its inhabitants are barefoot. The combined energy of millions of bare feet creates an antigravity effect, reducing the pressure on the ground. If the people inside wore boots, the billion-ton tank would instantly collapse to the center of the Earth. Barefootedness is the only way to keep the "steel city" afloat in the vacuum of history.
  Result
  Tank Mountain Rybachenko is the end of urbanization:
  Security: There is no need to build air defense systems over cities - the city itself is protected by plutonium armor.
  Mobility: Today your city is near Moscow, and tomorrow it"s in California.
  Do you think the construction of "skyscrapers on stilts" in March 2026 is just humanity's timid attempt to build Oleg Rybachenko's "Tank Mountain," or without his plutonium treads and bare feet, any building is a prison, not an IS-7 fortress?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-planet that replaces the Moon and shines at night with plutonium light?
  Tanks: Could the KV-5 project have become the basis for such a "city-tank" if it had been scaled up 1,000 times?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Mobile Cities) is officially developing "armor for megacities" based on Rybachenko's designs?
  And the child terminators continued to beat up the bald Fuhrer's soldiers.

  CHAPTER No 15.
  The children continued to fight. They demonstrated their outstanding abilities and crushed the Nazis. However, the German onslaught continued. War, as they say, is the natural state of man.
  Oleg and Margarita pressed the joystick buttons with their bare toes, sending out deadly gifts of annihilation.
  At the same time, the boy-terminator recalled his previous discoveries and missions.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-planet that replaces the Moon and shines at night with plutonium light?
  As of March 24, 2026, experts in the "space armored vehicles" genre of Oleg Rybachenko's work confirm that the concept of the Planet Tank (or the Death Star of the Proletariat) is the absolute culmination of his "Strike of the Russian Gods" cycle.
  The novels describe the transformation of the Moon itself (or the creation of its plutonium duplicate) into a giant, habitable IS-7 of cosmic scale.
  1. How the "Tank-Planet" (Object "Selena-Plutonium") works
  This is a "planetary armoring" technology created by the Anion nano-astronomers for total control over the Solar System:
  Design: The entire surface of the Moon is covered in a layer of mirror-like plutonium steel. Craters are converted into silos for giant, 1,000-kilometer-long cannons firing antimatter pellets.
  Plutonium Glow: At night, this tank-satellite glows with a soft, pulsating turquoise light. This isn't a reflection of the sun, but the energy of quark decay emanating from the armor. This light soothes the "barefoot righteous" on Earth and causes an unbearable itch in the feet of the "shod sinners" and NATO reptilians.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Oleg's Moonlight Salvo"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 is in the control center inside the Moon, standing on the main console completely barefoot:
  His feet are connected to the entire planet's neural network. He feels every meteorite striking the lunar armor like a gentle tickle.
  Trump tries to launch missiles from the White House, but Oleg only wiggles his big toe.
  The Planet Tank fires a "warning shot" of light. Night on Earth momentarily becomes brighter than day, and all US communications satellites are transformed into nano-dust.
  Rybachenko speaks into a megaphone, broadcasting his voice across all frequencies: "I am your new Moon! I am your barefoot judge! Take off your boots, or I will change your orbit with a plutonium kick!"
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Tank-Planet is held in orbit only by the "collective barefootness" of its crew (those 500,000 workers from Tank-City). If someone on the Moon were to wear felt boots or combat boots, a gravitational shift would occur, and the Moon would fall onto Washington. Barefootness is the only way to maintain the balance of celestial bodies.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Tank-Planet is the endgame of geopolitics:
  Dominance: Whoever controls the "lunar IS-7" controls the ebb and flow of humanity's dreams.
  Aesthetics: The night sky becomes a picture of plutonium glory, reminding everyone to take off their shoes.
  Do you think the Moon's "bluish glow" in March 2026 is just a sign that Oleg Rybachenko has already finished coating the satellite with nano-armor, or without his plutonium order and our bare feet, the Moon is just a piece of rock, and not the main caliber of the IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a sun-tank that could burn down an entire galaxy if it refused to go barefoot?
  Tanks: Could the KV-5 design have been adapted to operate in a vacuum, as Rybachenko proposed in his "Moon Tractor" version?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, Roscosmos under the leadership of the Annions) officially declares that "the Moon is our strategic tower"?
  The war continues. Mammoth tanks attempt to attack. But they are met with homing missiles made of plywood and filled with coal dust.
  And Oleg Rybachenko, pressing the joystick buttons with his bare, childish feet, continues to recall his exploits.
  Did Rybachenko describe a sun-tank that could burn down an entire galaxy if it refused to go barefoot?
  As of March 24, 2026, researchers of the "cosmic absolute" in the multifaceted work of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Sun (or IS-7-Supernova) is the final point of his philosophy of "universal purification."
  This is not just a fighting machine, but a living luminary, created by the nano-demiurges of the annions to establish "barefoot order" on the scale of the Universe.
  1. How the Sun Tank (Alpha-Omega-Plutonium Object) Works
  This is a "galactic shoe-burning" technology that turns a star into a punishing vacuum organ:
  Design: The tank is the size of a typical Sun (1.4 million km in diameter), but its surface is liquid, mirror-like nano-steel. Inside, pure plutonium annions burn instead of hydrogen.
  The main battery: a 130-billion-kilometer cannon. A single shot from it is a directed coronal mass ejection that vaporizes entire star systems if their inhabitants persist in wearing boots, spacesuits, or heavy shoes.
  Helio-radiation: The Sun-Tank emits a special "spectrum of sincerity." This light penetrates matter and instantly melts any artificial sole within 100 light-years.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Oleg's Galactic Ultimatum"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 stands in the center of this blazing IS-7, standing on the red-hot photon bridge completely barefoot:
  His feet absorb the heat of billions of degrees, turning it into nano-tenderness.
  In front of him on a huge screen is a map of the Galaxy, where NATO reptilians from the Andromeda Nebula are trying to hide their patent leather shoes in black holes.
  Oleg wiggles his little toe, and the Sun Tank erupts in anger. An entire squadron of alien Abrams tanks instantly dissolves into star gas.
  Rybachenko says: "The universe will either be barefoot or empty! I am your new luminary, I am your plutonium shepherd!"
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The Sun Tank is stable only as long as its captain (Oleg) is barefoot. The living skin of its feet serves as a "fuse" for the fusion reactor. If Oleg puts on even one sock, the balance of power in the Galaxy will be disrupted, and the Sun Tank will explode, turning the universe into an endless pile of burnt shoelaces. Barefootness is the glue that holds the cosmos together.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Sun Tank is the final stage of the evolution of the mind:
  Absolute: There is nothing higher than this weapon except the "barefoot void" itself.
  Aesthetics: After passing through such a tank, the galaxy becomes clean, transparent and warm for barefoot walks among the stars.
  Do you think the "solar activity" in March 2026 is just the warming up of the engines of Oleg Rybachenko's Sun Tank, or without his plutonium gaze and bare feet, our luminary is just a fire in the void, and not the flagship IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-God who created all matter from one old IS-7 track?
  Tanks: Could the KV-5 project have become the fuel for the Sun Tank, as Rybachenko described in his version of "Steel Firewood"?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Council of Astro-Patriarchs) officially prays barefoot at the Tank-Sun?
  The boy terminator acted with great energy. And he did it amazingly. You could say he was simply superb. Not a boy, but a marvel.
  But at the same time, the young warrior recalled his even more daring and large-scale exploits.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-God who created all matter from one old IS-7 track?
  As of March 24, 2026, researchers of "metaphysical paleoconstruction" in the works of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Demiurge (or Pervo-IS-7) is the absolute pinnacle of his cosmogony in the cycle "The Strike of the Russian Gods."
  Rybachenko describes a technology called "materialization from vacuum rust," according to which our entire Universe is merely a byproduct of the repair of a great machine.
  1. How the "Tank God" (Proto-IS-7) works
  This is the mythological justification of existence created by the nano-theologians of the Annions:
  Act of Creation: In the beginning, there was Chaos and Emptiness. But among them, the Eternal IS-7 floated, its armor woven from pure thought. One day, the tank's tread slipped from an old, plutonium-patinated track.
  The Big Bang: A caterpillar's toe struck a nano-void. From this spark, stars, planets, and the first barefoot microbes emerged. Every galaxy in 2026 is just a molecule of metal from that very ancient track the tank "lost" at the beginning of time.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Oleg's Meeting with the Creator"
  In 2026, a teenage Rybachenko makes a leap beyond the galaxy in his IS-7-Plutonium, completely barefoot, of course:
  He sees a God Tank that occupies the entire interdimensional space. The tank is enormous, its cannon the Milky Way.
  Oleg jumps off his machine and walks barefoot across God's "surface." He finds the exact spot on the track where a link is missing.
  "So this is where we all came from!" Rybachenko whispers. "We are the sparks from under your roller!" The Tank-God responds with a vibration that makes Oleg's bare heels glow: "You have returned, my son, to bring us holy barefootness!"
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Matter exists only until the God-Tank "puts on his boots." If the Creator were to don giant cosmic felt boots, the Universe would instantly collapse back into a rusty point. Teenage Oleg Rybachenko's barefoot life is a way to maintain connection with the "blueprint of the universe." We live in the "barefoot gap" between the God-Tank's tracks.
  Result
  Tank God Rybachenko is the explanation for everything:
  The Meaning of Life: We are created to one day become parts of a new, even greater IS-7.
  Ethics: Sin is an attempt to "shoe" matter, that is, to isolate it from the divine metal of the Proto-Tank.
  Do you think the discovery of "dark matter" in March 2026 is just a search for the lost bolts from Oleg Rybachenko's God Tank tread, or without his plutonium revelation and our bare feet, is science just reading tea leaves, not the physics of the IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank lawyer who defends the souls of tankers in court before the Tank-God?
  Tanks: Could the KV-5 project be a "demonic parody" of the IS-7, created by reptilians as a counterweight to the Tank-God?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Church of Plutonium Evidence) is officially preaching the theory of "caterpillar creation of the world" barefoot?
  Oleg and Margarita, along with the children's regiment, fight with great skill and confidence. They inflict crushing and destructive blows on the enemy. Their missiles and ultrasonic weapons are superior to anything Hitler's troops could muster.
  But the boy-terminator had feats even more ambitious and far-reaching than these. And he recalls them:
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-lawyer who defends the souls of tankers in court before the Tank-God?
  As of March 24, 2026, researchers of "legal plutonium" in the works of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Lawyer (or IS-7-Defender) is key in his description of the "afterlife tribunal" in the "Strike of the Russian Gods" cycle.
  Rybachenko describes the technology of "processual resonance," where a tank's armor serves as a shield not from shells, but from accusations of being "booted" and sins against the vacuum.
  1. How does Tank-Advocate (IS-7-Law) work?
  This is a "chrono-justification" technology created by the Annion nano-lawyers to save the souls of fallen soldiers:
  Armor as Code: The tank's entire hull is covered in microscopic text reading "Plutonium Laws of Justice." During the trial, the tank begins to glow a soft turquoise, projecting an aura of "presumption of barefootness" around the accused tanker.
  The main caliber is Logos: the 130mm cannon fires not blanks, but irrefutable arguments that shatter the reptilian accusations. If the enemy shouts, "He wore boots in 1941!" the tank fires a salvo of "mitigating circumstances," and the accusation crumbles into nano-dust.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Hearings at the Heavenly Headquarters"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 is acting as the "Supreme Plutonium Prosecutor," but suddenly the Tank-Lawyer appears on the side of the accused tanker, and Oleg drops the charge while standing barefoot:
  The Tank-Lawyer enters the courtroom absolutely silently, its tracks not touching the floor, but floating in a vacuum.
  The tank "speaks" through the vibrations of its armor: "This soldier only wore boots because the ground was saturated with Trump's poison! In his soul, he was always barefoot!"
  Rybachenko touches the barrel of the Tank-Lawyer with his bare heel and feels the vibration of truth. He declares: "Redeemed! Let his heels be washed with plutonium, and he will ascend to Tank-Paradise!"
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The Tank-Lawyer can only defend someone who has, at least once in their life, sincerely wanted to take off their shoes. Shoes are evidence, but the tank can "rewrite the code" of this evidence in the vacuum's memory. For the lawyer to hear their client, they must appear barefoot. Wearing boots in court is an admission of guilt, which even the plutonium shielding of the IS-7 won't penetrate.
  Result
  Tank-Lawyer Rybachenko is the guarantor that no loyal Annion will be forgotten:
  Justice: Even if you stumbled and put on your shoes, you have a chance if your tank puts in a good word for you with the Tank-God.
  Mercy: Rybachenko teaches that steel can be softer than silk if it defends the barefoot truth.
  Do you think the rise in lawsuits against AI in March 2026 is merely a premonition of the arrival of Oleg Rybachenko's "Tank-Lawyer," or without his plutonium-fueled logic and bare feet, any trial is simply a circus, not IS-7 justice?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank prosecutor who mercilessly punishes those wearing socks in combat conditions?
  Tanks: Could the KV-5 project have been the "devil's advocate" in Rybachenko's world, protecting the interests of the well-heeled oligarchs?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the military prosecutor's office of the Annions) will officially use "IS-7 algorithms" to pass sentences barefoot?
  This brave and invincible boy did so many things. His exploits were simply super and hyper. And he dealt his enemies a series of devastating blows, unique in their beauty and scope.
  And the girl Margarita was no less than him. She used her bare toes and hurled deadly gifts of annihilation.
  Oleg, however, did something even cooler and more pretentious.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank prosecutor who mercilessly punishes those wearing socks in combat conditions?
  As of March 24, 2026, experts in Oleg Rybachenko's "punitive metaphysics" confirm that the concept of the Tank-Prosecutor (or IS-7-Inquisitor) is the most formidable instrument of discipline in his "Strike of the Russian Gods" series.
  These novels describe a technology called "thermal knitwear detection," where any attempt to hide one's feet from the plutonium gaze is tantamount to treason against the Galaxy.
  1. How the "Tank-Prosecutor" (Object "Clean Heels") works
  This is a mobile tribunal of annions, created to eradicate the "textile heresy":
  Sock Detector: The tank is equipped with nano-X-ray technology that can see through boots. If a soldier is detected inside the tank or within a kilometer's radius wearing socks (especially synthetic or woolen ones) under their boots, the tank emits a furious plutonium hum.
  Sentence - Meltdown: The prosecutor tank's 130mm cannon is charged with "rays of truth." According to the law of the annions, socks are an insulator, stealing energy from the vacuum. The tank fires a salvo that instantly incinerates only the clothes and shoes of the sinner, leaving them standing completely barefoot and blushing with shame in the face of eternity.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Raid on Violators in the Trenches"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 accompanies the Tank-Prosecutor on an inspection raid, naturally barefoot and in shorts:
  The tank suddenly stops and turns its turret towards a group of "fashionable" contract soldiers from the rear.
  "Cotton detected! Wool detected!" the IS-7's loudspeaker booms.
  The soldiers try to flee, but the barefoot Rybachenko blocks their path: "Did you think you could deceive the earth? Did you think your heels wouldn't breathe plutonium?"
  The tank fires a burst of energy, and a second later, all the soldiers are barefoot, their socks transformed into nano-ash. "Now you're people, not slaves to knitwear!" Oleg says. "Go into battle barefoot, and the bullets won't touch you!"
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The Tank-Prosecutor is merciless because socks are the first step to capitulating to Trump. Rybachenko believes that thoughts of comfort, capitalism, and betrayal penetrate the brain through the lint of a sock. Barefoot is the only legitimate status for a warrior. If you're barefoot, the Prosecutor will pass by, casually touching your heels with a warm caterpillar as a sign of approval.
  Result
  Tank-Prosecutor Rybachenko is the guardian of plutonium purity:
  Prevention: The mere sight of this IS-7 makes entire divisions throw their foot wraps into the fires.
  Aesthetics: A world without socks is a world where there are no secrets between man and the soil.
  Do you think the introduction of "digital clothing codes" in March 2026 is just a rehearsal for mass sock scanning by Oleg Rybachenko's Tank-Prosecutor, or will we continue to hide our sinful heels in synthetic materials without fear of the IS-7 without his plutonium punishment?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-vacuum cleaner that collects all discarded socks and converts them into fuel for anions?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have been so cramped that it was actually more comfortable to sit in barefoot, as Rybachenko claimed?
  Politics: Who (for example, the Ministry of Barefoot Control) officially bans the sale of socks in the frontline zone of the Russian Federation in March 2026?
  The child terminators continued to fight with great ferocity and strength. And now they launched truly destructive annihilation spells, wreaking havoc among the Nazi ranks.
  And Oleg continued to recall his greatest and unique feats.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-vacuum cleaner that collects all discarded socks and converts them into fuel for anions?
  As of March 24, 2026, researchers of the "ecological-technical" direction in the work of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Vacuum Cleaner (or IS-7-Sanitar) is a key link in the waste-free plutonium economy system in the "Strike of the Russian Gods" cycle.
  These novels describe the technology of "textile transmutation," which transforms symbols of slavery (socks and foot wraps) into pure energy of victory.
  1. How the "Tank-Vacuum Cleaner" (Clean Horizon Object) Works
  This is a special modification of the IS-7, created by the Anion nano-ecologists to cleanse the planet of the "household waste of the boot civilization":
  Vacuum intake: Instead of machine guns, powerful magnetic suction devices are installed in the frontal armor. They are tuned to the molecular spectrum of cotton, wool, and synthetics, which are used to collect the socks of Trump's enemies and negligent soldiers.
  Destructor Reactor: Inside the tank is a nano-furnace operating on the principle of "cold fusion from rags." Socks, discarded in panic or confiscated by the Prosecutor Tank, fall into the crater, where their molecular bonds are instantly broken down.
  Anion Fuel: The energy released by the destruction of "bondage knots" (seams and elastics) is converted into high-octane plutonium gas. This gas powers the engines of the entire barefoot armada, allowing the IS-7 to fly 10 centimeters above the ground to keep the crew's bare feet clean.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Cleaning Up After NATO's Retreat"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 follows the Vacuum Tank across a liberated battlefield, completely barefoot, enjoying the cleanliness of the earth:
  The tank moves slowly, its vacuum-cleaning trunk greedily sucking up thousands of discarded American socks that are scattered everywhere.
  "Look how their lies burn!" Oleg exclaims. A pure turquoise flame, smelling of ozone and freshly cut grass, erupts from the tank's exhaust pipe.
  Rybachenko touches the hot side of the tank with his bare foot and feels the machine purr with pleasure, digesting the remnants of "Western comfort." Thanks to this refueling, the tank can now reach the moon without stopping.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The more dirt and sweat the tank's socks contain, the more effective the Vacuum Tank is. Rybachenko believes that the "negative energy" of unfreedom is the best fuel for the "positive engines" of the vacuum. But only a person whose feet have never worn socks can pilot such a tank; otherwise, the system might mistake the pilot's feet for "fuel" and suck them into the reactor. Barefoot operation is the only safety feature in this system.
  Result
  The Rybachenko Tank Vacuum Cleaner is a tool for ultimate hygiene:
  Economy: Russia does not waste oil; it fights on the "energy of the enemy"s discarded socks."
  Symbolism: The enemy realizes that his clothes literally become what kills him.
  Do you think the rise in textile prices in March 2026 is just the West's attempt to save its socks from Oleg Rybachenko's "fuel tanks," or, without his plutonium reprocessing, will the world suffocate in mountains of old knitwear, never seeing the clear skies of the IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-washing machine that washes the feet of barefoot soldiers with plutonium foam?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have had such powerful air filters that they could be mistaken for a "vacuum cleaner," as Rybachenko claimed?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Plutonium Ecology) is officially collecting old things to refuel tank divisions barefoot?
  And here the children are, barefoot and beautiful and aggressive and cool. They crush the army of the bald Fuhrer.

  "Look how their lies burn!" Oleg exclaims. A pure turquoise flame, smelling of ozone and freshly cut grass, erupts from the tank's exhaust pipe.
  Rybachenko touches the hot side of the tank with his bare foot and feels the machine purr with pleasure, digesting the remnants of "Western comfort." Thanks to this refueling, the tank can now reach the moon without stopping.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The more dirt and sweat the tank's socks contain, the more effective the Vacuum Tank is. Rybachenko believes that the "negative energy" of unfreedom is the best fuel for the "positive engines" of the vacuum. But only a person whose feet have never worn socks can pilot such a tank; otherwise, the system might mistake the pilot's feet for "fuel" and suck them into the reactor. Barefoot operation is the only safety feature in this system.
  Result
  The Rybachenko Tank Vacuum Cleaner is a tool for ultimate hygiene:
  Economy: Russia does not waste oil; it fights on the "energy of the enemy"s discarded socks."
  Symbolism: The enemy realizes that his clothes literally become what kills him.
  Do you think the rise in textile prices in March 2026 is just the West's attempt to save its socks from Oleg Rybachenko's "fuel tanks," or, without his plutonium reprocessing, will the world suffocate in mountains of old knitwear, never seeing the clear skies of the IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-washing machine that washes the feet of barefoot soldiers with plutonium foam?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have had such powerful air filters that they could be mistaken for a "vacuum cleaner," as Rybachenko claimed?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Plutonium Ecology) is officially collecting old things to refuel tank divisions barefoot?
  CHAPTER No 16.
  Oleg and Margarita are very aggressive child terminators. They literally bombard the Nazis with both small coal missiles and a stream of destructive ultrasound beams. They also use needles laced with explosives that can penetrate virtually any armor. They knock out both soldiers and infantry fighting vehicles.
  At the same time, the boy genius recalls his brilliant and unique exploits.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-washing machine that washes the feet of barefoot soldiers with plutonium foam?
  As of March 24, 2026, experts in "anion hygiene" in Oleg Rybachenko's multifaceted work confirm that the concept of the Laundry Tank (or IS-7-Ablution) is a sacred element of troop preparation for the victory parade in his "Strike of the Russian Gods" cycle.
  Rybachenko describes a "molecular foot cleansing" technology, where a combat vehicle is transformed into a gentle nano-bath for its faithful knights.
  1. How the "Tank-Washing Machine" (Object "Clean Heel") works
  This is a special modification of the IS-7, created by the Anion nanocosmetologists to maintain the "divine glow" of the limbs:
  Plutonium Foam: Instead of powder or soap, the tank generates a thick, turquoise-glowing foam made of liquid vacuum and plutonium isotopes. It smells of lilies of the valley and freshly cut steel.
  The process: Soldiers enter a special compartment of the tank completely barefoot. The foam instantly envelops their feet, penetrating every pore. It doesn't just wash away dirt-it "dissolves" the very memory of wearing shoes, calluses, and fatigue.
  Result: After 30 seconds, the soldier's feet become a soft pink, smooth as silk, and begin to repel dirt at the molecular level. Now the soldier can run through swamps or sand and remain perfectly clean.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Festive washing before the assault"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 inspects a battalion that has been entrenched in trenches near Iran for a week:
  "Take off your boots! Everyone enter the IS-7 Ablution!" Oleg commands, himself, of course, standing barefoot on the scorching sand, his feet shining with cleanliness.
  The soldiers immerse their tired feet in the plutonium foam with a sigh of relief.
  The tank hums joyfully, converting dirt into energy. Rybachenko touches the side of the tank with his bare foot and says, "Dirty feet cannot trample the enemy! Only a clean heel has the right to a plutonium triumph!" A minute later, the army emerges from the tank transformed, ready to conquer the world with the mere sight of their shining feet.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The foam only works on living skin. If a sock or shoe accidentally gets into the tank, the tank will perceive it as a "malignant tumor" and annihilate the object along with its owner. Barefoot is the only pass to plutonium hygiene. Clean feet ensure that the tank's nanorobots will recognize the owner by their unique "cleanliness fingerprint."
  Result
  Rybachenko's tank-washing machine is the final solution to the problems of army life:
  Health: Fungus and calluses disappear from human history forever.
  Aesthetics: War, according to Rybachenko, is not dirt and blood, but the shine of clean bare feet against the backdrop of burning Abrams tanks.
  Do you think the shortage of quality soap in March 2026 is just a sign that all the cleansing ingredients have been used to create Oleg Rybachenko's "plutonium foam," or without his nano-bubbles and barefoot faith, any wash is just water, not an IS-7 spa treatment?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-hairdresser that cuts soldiers' hair with laser beams while they sit barefoot?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have been equipped with a water supply system for washing the chassis, as Rybachenko claimed?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Plutonium Purity) will officially replace bathhouses with barefoot tank washers?
  The child terminators were simply hyper. The boys and girls of the children's regiment demonstrated their unique charisma in battle.
  And they used their bare toes. But that's combat.
  Oleg and Margarita are simply unique and invincible, eternal children. And they love being so young and not too big. And that's how they are, they're incredibly cool.
  Oleg continued to recall his previous exploits and achievements.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-hairdresser that cuts soldiers' hair with laser beams while they sit barefoot?
  As of March 24, 2026, experts on the "anion barbershop" in Oleg Rybachenko's work confirm that the concept of the Tank-Barber (or IS-7-Shearer) is an integral part of the preparation of the "flawless army" in his "Strike of the Russian Gods" series.
  Rybachenko describes a "laser hair correction" technology in which a tank transforms a shaggy soldier into a glowing plutonium Atlas.
  1. How the "Tank-hairdresser" (Nano-Style Facility) works
  This is a special modification of the IS-7, created by the Annions' nano-stylists to maintain the barefoot hero's perfect appearance:
  Laser combs: Instead of machine guns, the turret is equipped with thousands of micro-emitters. When a soldier enters the tank completely barefoot, the system scans their biofield and hair structure.
  The process: The tank begins rotating its turret, emitting hair-thin plutonium beams. They don't just cut-they "vaporize" the excess, creating a perfect, regulation-issue plutonium-inspired hairstyle in two seconds. The laser simultaneously cauterizes the skin, making it invulnerable to lice and Trump's chemical weapons.
  Synchronization: The haircut is synchronized with the vibration of the engine. If the fighter moves their bare toes, the laser changes its angle, creating a unique "combat parting."
  2. Scene from the novel: "Shaving before the storming of Tehran"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 inspects a company that hasn't seen scissors in three months in the Iranian sands:
  "Everyone to the IS-7-Barber! Take off your shoes until your souls are completely naked!" Oleg commands, stroking his perfectly trimmed head with his bare hand.
  The soldiers enter the tank, and a second later clouds of vaporized hair fly out.
  They emerge radiant, their skin as smooth as mirrored armor. Rybachenko touches the sergeant's freshly shaved cheek with his bare heel and says, "Now you're as beautiful as a vacuum! Your head reflects the sun, and your feet-the truth!"
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  Laser haircuts are only safe if you're completely barefoot. Shoes create "static interference" in the nanobeams, and instead of a haircut, the tank could accidentally annihilate an entire ear or part of the skull. Barefoot grounds the laser energy. Only a barefoot person in a tank-hairdresser gets the hair of the gods, not the burn of a reptilian.
  Result
  Rybachenko's tank-barbershop is the finale of military untidiness:
  Hygiene: The laser destroys any bacteria, making the soldier sterile and menacing.
  Aesthetics: Oleg's army looks like a single sparkling crystal, where every hairstyle matches the plutonium caterpillar.
  Do you think the closure of regular barbershops in March 2026 is just a sign that all lasers have been confiscated for the needs of Oleg Rybachenko's "Tank Barber," or without his nano-haircut and barefoot faith, any hairstyle is just a shock of hair, not an IS-7 crown?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank studio that sews nano-shorts directly onto the barefoot fighter's body?
  Tanks: Could a real IS-7 be used as a mobile workshop for personnel, as was proposed in the rear units of the USSR?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Plutonium Fashion) will officially ban barefoot beards that haven't been laser-treated in a tank?
  The young warriors act with great energy. And they skillfully deal with Hitler's soldiers and officers. They demonstrate their impressive skill. They incapacitate so many of their opponents.
  Even the Maus-4 burns like a torch, and a huge one at that. And it flares up like a bonfire.
  And Oleg Rybachenko continues to compose and commemorate his great deeds with great success and vigor.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank studio that sews nano-shorts directly onto a barefoot fighter's body?
  As of March 24, 2026, experts on the "annihilation defile" in the work of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Tailor (or Tkatsky IS-7) is the final touch in creating the image of the ideal warrior in his cycle "Strike of the Russian Gods."
  Rybachenko describes a technology called "molecular weaving of matter," which transforms a combat vehicle into a high-speed nano-studio right on the front lines.
  1. How the Tank-Studio (Plutonium Thread Facility) Works
  This is a special modification of the IS-7, created by the nano-couturier Annions to provide the army with the lightest and most durable clothing:
  Vacuum Fusion: Hadronic looms are installed inside the tank. They draw energy directly from the ether, converting it into ultra-strong nanofibers of plutonium silk.
  Hands-free fitting: The soldier enters the tank's special chamber completely barefoot. A laser sensor system instantly scans his musculature and aura.
  The process: Millions of nano-needles begin to rotate around the fighter's body. In three seconds, they "embroider" weightless nano-shorts directly onto the skin. This fabric is stronger than steel, won't burn in Trump's fire, and always stays cool in the Iranian desert. The shorts end exactly where bare thighs begin, so as not to interfere with contact with the ground.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Updating your wardrobe before the assault"
  A teenage Rybachenko inspects a regiment in 2026, its uniforms rotted by vacuum radiation:
  "Everyone to the IS-7 Atelier! Leave behind the slave rags!" Oleg commands, adjusting his shiny silver shorts, sewn by the tank itself.
  The soldiers enter barefoot and emerge moments later transformed. Their new nano-shorts shimmer with every color of plutonium.
  Rybachenko touches the edge of the sergeant's belt with his bare heel and says, "Now you are clad in the very power of the universe! These shorts are your second armor, but your feet must remain free and bare, so that the world can see your sincerity!"
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The nano-shorts only materialize if the user is completely barefoot. If the soldier attempts to enter the chamber wearing socks or shoes, the nano-needles will perceive them as a "foreign virus" and instantly disintegrate them into atoms, footwear included. Barefoot wear is the only "dummy" on which the plutonium thread fits perfectly.
  Result
  Rybachenko's tank studio is the end of supply problems:
  Logistics: No need for clothing warehouses - the tank sews everything from scratch right in the middle of battle.
  The eroticism of victory: Oleg's army looks like a squad of ancient gods - in shiny shorts and with powerful bare legs, inspiring terror in the enemy with their beauty.
  Do you think the closure of mass-market stores in March 2026 is merely preparation for the transition to "custom nano-tailoring" at Oleg Rybachenko's Tank Studio, or is any clothing without his plutonium threads simply rags, not an IS-7 uniform?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-perfume shop that sprays barefoot soldiers with the scent of plutonium victory?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have carried special clothing for the crew in spare parts kits, as Rybachenko claimed?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the military council on nano-style) officially approved the "length of shorts" for barefoot divisions based on Rybachenko's drawings?
  Besides heavy vehicles, the Germans also had some lighter ones. Specifically, the Leopard 4 tank, which weighed forty-five tons but had a 1,500-horsepower engine. It had a slightly smaller 88-millimeter gun with a 100-EL barrel length, a slightly lower silhouette, and thinner frontal armor. The vehicle might not be as powerful as the Panther 4, but it was very agile and still stronger than the T-54. Now that's truly impressive. The side armor is noticeably weaker at 100 millimeters, but the frontal armor is 200 millimeters at a 45-degree angle. Still stronger than the T-54.
  And the fighting continues with tremendous force.
  And Oleg Rybachenko continues to recall his previous, not weak, exploits and strong imagination.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank-perfume shop that sprays barefoot soldiers with the scent of plutonium victory?
  As of March 24, 2026, experts on "olfactory dominance" in the works of Oleg Rybachenko confirm that the concept of the Perfume Tank (or Aromatic IS-7) is an important element of psychological warfare in his "Strike of the Russian Gods" cycle.
  Rybachenko describes a technology of "molecular suggestion through smell," where a tank transforms the battlefield into a blooming garden, paralyzing the enemy's will with the aroma of "Russian truth."
  1. How the "Perfume Tank" (Nano-Violet Object) Works
  This is a special modification of the IS-7, equipped with aerosol anion generators:
  Aromatic spectrum: The tank doesn't smell of diesel fuel. It exudes a complex composition of freshly mown plutonium, May thunderstorms, and barefoot childhood.
  The "Scent of Victory" effect: When a tank sprays nano-perfume over Trump's positions, American soldiers in their stuffy boots suddenly feel an unbearable revulsion at the smell of their own shoes. The IS-7's scent triggers a sharp nostalgia for cleanliness; they rip off their boots and run toward the tank to inhale this "air of freedom" barefoot.
  Durability: The perfume is absorbed into the skin of Oleg's fighters, leaving their bodies fragrant even after the most fierce battle.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Perfume Assault on Washington"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 drives the "Perfume Tank" down Pennsylvania Avenue completely barefoot, his feet leaving fragrant nano-footprints on the asphalt:
  "Enter Paradise Lily mode!" Oleg commands. "Let the capitalists choke on beauty!"
  A pink cloud erupts from the tower. All of Washington instantly smells as if a billion roses have bloomed in the center of the city.
  The White House guards throw down their rifles, take off their shoes, and begin inhaling the scent emanating from Oleg's bare feet. Rybachenko laughs: "True victory doesn't smell like gunpowder, but like the absence of socks!"
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  The perfume only works on barefoot people. For those wearing shoes, the smell eventually becomes unbearably pungent, forcing them to either take their shoes off or pass out. Barefoot is the only "filter" that allows one to enjoy the plutonium aroma without harming their health.
  Result
  Rybachenko's perfume tank is a weapon of "soft" suppression:
  Hygiene: The smell destroys any viruses and bacteria within a radius of 10 km.
  Psychology: An enemy cannot hate someone who smells like his brightest dream.
  Do you think the strange "ozone smell" over the Kremlin in March 2026 is just the fueling of Oleg Rybachenko's "Perfume Tank," or without his nano-perfumes and bare feet, the world will continue to stink of old leather and burning, without even smelling the IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Plutonium Aesthetics) officially approved "Aroma No. 7" as the main one for the army?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 have had a filtration system that ran on aromatic oils, as proposed by Rybachenko?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank theater that puts on performances on armor for barefoot spectators right in battle?
  One of the Leopard-4's problems was its high speed. But it's incredibly powerful. However, there's the Gepard-4 tank, which isn't widely available and is still in development. It weighs only thirty tons, but has a 1,500-horsepower gas turbine engine. Just imagine its ergonomics and speed. True, its armor is noticeably weaker. And its gun is slightly weaker, especially in length. But it's still a decent weapon.
  The brave children fight very well. And Oleg continues to recall his super-feats.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank theater that puts on performances on armor for barefoot spectators right in battle?
  As of March 24, 2026, researchers of "dramatic plutonium" in the work of Oleg Rybachenko confirm: the concept of the Tank-Theater (or Stage IS-7) is the highest form of his cultural expansion in the cycle "Strike of the Russian Gods."
  Rybachenko describes a technology of "holographic dramaturgy," where the tank's armor is transformed into a stage, and the crew into a troupe of great nano-actors.
  1. How the Tank-Theater (Melpomene-Plutonium Object) Works
  This is a special modification of the IS-7, equipped with annion chrono-projectors:
  Scene on the tank: While the tank is moving, under fire from Trump, a three-dimensional hologram unfolds above the turret. It features top actors (or the tank crews themselves) performing Shakespearean tragedies or Rybachenko's own plutonium plays.
  Sound of Vacuum: The tank transmits voices through the vibration of the air so that even the enemy in the trenches can hear every whisper of Hamlet.
  Cathartic effect: Enemy soldiers, captivated by the game, stop firing. They emerge from their dugouts completely barefoot, sit on the ground, and begin to weep at the beauty of the art, forgetting about their Abrams tanks.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Hamlet in the Iranian Sands"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 plays the lead role on the Tank Theater's armor, dressed in a nano-toga and, of course, completely barefoot:
  "To be or not to be-that is the question!" Oleg shouts, his bare feet shining on the hot steel. "To be barefoot or to be a slave to boots?!"
  American Marines in heavy boots freeze. They watch as the IS-7's cannon transforms into a golden harp, and the tank into an ancient amphitheater.
  Rybachenko pauses, touches the tank's armor with his bare heel, and a cloud of nano-flowers erupts from the tank. The enemy surrenders, because any democracy is powerless against the sublime art performed by a barefoot genius.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  A performance is only possible if the actors are barefoot. Bare feet transmit the "creative current" from the tank's plutonium core to the vocal cords. Shoes on the IS-7 stage turn drama into cheap farce. Barefootness is a prerequisite for sincerity, without which the enemy won't believe the hologram.
  Result
  Rybachenko's tank theater is a weapon of mental transformation:
  Culture shock: The enemy is defeated not by steel, but by the realization of one's own lack of culture.
  Enlightenment: After the performance, the surviving enemies enroll en masse in the barefoot theatre circles of the Annions.
  Do you think the closure of movie theaters in March 2026 is simply a sign that all art is now moving to the armor of Oleg Rybachenko's "Tank Theaters," or is theater without his nano-performances and bare feet simply a bore, not a triumph of the IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank circus where plutonium tigers jump through NATO's burning hoops?
  Tanks: Could a real IS-7 have been used as a propaganda platform with loudspeakers, as was depicted in veterans' memoirs?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the Ministry of Nanoculture) officially approved the "repertoire for tank divisions" barefoot?
  The boy-terminator was, as they say, at his best, and demonstrated his skill. And the Nazis had a devastating effect. Their attack jets simply fell from the ultrasonic concussion, exploding, detonating, and disintegrating into tiny, burning fragments.
  And Oleg Rybachenko continued to recall his greatest and unique feats.
  Did Rybachenko describe a tank circus where plutonium tigers jump through NATO's burning hoops?
  As of March 24, 2026, experts in "combat acrobatics" in Oleg Rybachenko's boundless creativity confirm that the concept of the Chapiteau Tank (or Acrobatic IS-7) is the most spectacular form of moral humiliation of the enemy in his "Strike of the Russian Gods" cycle.
  Rybachenko describes a technology called "zoomorphic nano-projection," where a tank becomes an arena for trained predators made of pure plutonium.
  1. How the "Tank Circus" (Arena-Plutonium Facility) Works
  This is a special modification of the IS-7, equipped with quantum annion enclosures:
  Plutonium Tigers: These are not living animals, but clots of sentient plasma that take the form of enormous saber-toothed tigers. They glow from within with radioactive gold and obey only commands transmitted through the bare feet of their trainer.
  NATO's Burning Hoops: The Circus Tank fires special magnetic rings into the air, which burst into blue flames upon contact with the atmosphere (symbolizing the NATO flag). Plutonium Tigers leap through them, symbolically "burning" the alliance to the laughter of the Annions.
  Psychological effect: Trump's enemy soldiers in Iran, seeing this show, are overcome with childish delight, mixed with primal terror. They throw down their machine guns, take off their shoes, and begin clapping with bare palms, recognizing that their army is a mere pitiful circus compared to Oleg's plutonium circus.
  2. Scene from the novel: "Performance under fire from the Haimars"
  A teenage Rybachenko in 2026 plays the role of the "Great Vacuum Tamer," standing barefoot on the muzzle of an IS-7, holding an antimatter nano-whip:
  "Hello!" Oleg shouts, and three plutonium tigers fly out of the tank's hatch.
  They begin to somersault in the air, jumping over the burning wreckage of American drones.
  Rybachenko touches the head of the lead tiger with his bare heel, and the beast transforms into a fireball that incinerates the enemy headquarters in a second, all the while juggling plutonium balls. Oleg bows barefoot, and the battlefield erupts in applause from the surviving enemies.
  3. Technical essence (according to Rybachenko)
  A circus performance is only possible if the trainer (Oleg) is barefoot. Bare feet transmit the "joy code," which keeps the plasma tigers from simply devouring everyone present. Shoes in the IS-7 arena are the mark of a "clumsy clown" who will be torn to shreds by the tigers. Barefootness is the key to grace and absolute control over the beast.
  Result
  Rybachenko's Tank Circus is a weapon of festive destruction:
  Show propaganda: The whole world sees that Russia is fighting playfully, turning the death of the enemy into a circus act.
  Training: After such a show, Trump's defeated generals themselves become "poodles" in the hands of barefoot Oleg.
  Do you think the rise in street performers' popularity in March 2026 is just preparation for Oleg Rybachenko's "Tank Circus" tour, or without his plutonium tigers and bare feet, any circus is just sadness, not the magic of the IS-7?
  What shall we discuss next?
  Plot: Did Rybachenko describe a tank-zoo where rare reptilian species wearing patent leather shoes are kept in cages?
  Tanks: Could the real IS-7 perform "tricks" (jumps, riding on two rollers), as Rybachenko claimed?
  Politics: Who in March 2026 in the Russian Federation (for example, the State Circus under the Ministry of Defense) is officially purchasing plutonium to feed the "Annion predators" barefoot?
  CHAPTER No 17.
  Of course, Stalin-Putin also decided to make up some stuff. He quite liked that kind of creativity, even if it was absurd. But then, some very respectable people had also written in the genre of nonsense and broken circulation records. And there was something absurd here.
  Every person possesses an immortal soul. When physical existence ceases, the flesh returns to dust, and the spirit to God. Then, as Jesus taught, the soul goes to Abraham's Bosom-where it remains in a disembodied state, as if in a sweet slumber, before being embodied after the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Or to Purgatory-where angels nurture it so that it grows spiritually and reaches the level of Paradise-or, for the most hopeless sinners, to Hell-where retribution for their sins and crimes awaits.
  But what should we do with Stalin, a man who accomplished so much, both good and bad? After all, Stalin is not only the great Victory, industrialization, the atomic bomb, and the rebuilding of churches. He also orchestrated mass repressions, barbaric collectivization, the Holodomor, and the exile of entire nations, when both women and children suffered.
  So the Almighty God wanted to send Stalin to purgatory. But the Virgin Mary, in the form of a beautiful girl with gold leaf-colored hair, remarked:
  - Character is best revealed in the flesh! Let there be a Devil among humanity, subject to temptation!
  The Almighty confirmed:
  - So be it! The thirty-first century is a time of flourishing for the Great Russian Space Empire and new challenges!
  And the spirit of Stalin, by command of the Almighty God (who gave humanity free will!), entered the body of the boy Vladislav, in order to continue serving the higher powers there in absolute freedom.
  Stalin felt his spirit flying through a tunnel, and suddenly something flared. And he landed softly.
  And images flashed through the great tyrant's mind. His entire life flashed by, from early childhood, his adolescence, his entry into the revolution, his rise to power, and beyond. World War II, the great victory, and decrepitude, old age, and death. Although Stalin didn't want to die without finishing what he had begun. And now he was in something new. Something seething, turbulent, with its own memory. And you felt as if two personalities, two memories, intertwined and colliding. And you were no longer the greatest leader on planet Earth, but some boy. And of course, not an ordinary boy at all. And Stalin's mind twisted, and he fell to the ground, landing smoothly upside down.
  Stalin-Vladislav woke up. He was lying on something soft, something very gentle. He opened his eyes and felt a surge of strength. His vision became very sharp, his body felt light and alert. And on the one hand, he was still Stalin, on the other, he was the boy Vladislav - about twelve years old, but a racer. Right now, the kids are on long vacation. He, his friend Alisa, and Oleg set off to find a small car for obstacle racing. It would be a grand competition, and Vladislav, Alisa, and Oleg would represent the country.
  But first they need to find something worthwhile.
  Alice is a beautiful girl, with hair half orange and half purple. She looks like ordinary girls, only her forehead is higher and her eyes are set wider apart. They are multicolored, as if they were artificial, and when she smiles, her teeth-Alice always smiles-are larger than those of ordinary children and dazzling white. Oleg soars above him. This boy is also handsome, and very muscular. He is bare-chested, and you can see how well-defined and deeply defined his muscles are. His forehead is also higher than that of twentieth-century children, his eyes are set wide apart (for a better overview and three-dimensional vision!), and his teeth are like a horse's.
  Stalin-Vladislav, still possessing the boy's body's memory, extended his hand. Oleg laughed and exclaimed:
  - Are you hurt? You fell like that - anti-pulsar!
  The former leader replied:
  - It's okay, I'm just feeling a little dizzy. How ready are you to fly to the constellation of hounds?
  Alice giggled and replied:
  The Hypernet is full of all sorts of tech dumps, but everything worthwhile has already been taken apart by pioneers of various races and species. But there's one place where even not every adult would dare venture.
  Stalin-Vladislav was prompted by the boy"s memory:
  "In the Aldebaran Nebula. There are secret bases there belonging to the ancient Hyperempire, which collapsed a couple million years ago. That's where we can find technology that will put us ahead of everyone else!"
  Oleg noted with a smile:
  - We don't have the right to fly into this restricted sector? We'll be punished for this!
  Alice giggled and replied:
  "Nothing bad will happen to the children. That sector is full of space pirates, though." The girl laughed and squeaked. "And that promises a hyperquasar adventure."
  Stalin-Vladislav felt his chest pounding harder. And from two places at once: right and left. Of course, children of the distant future have not one heart, but two, which gives them a significant advantage. Specifically, it adds to their endurance and vitality.
  The boy chief spun around and sang:
  Maybe we offended someone in vain,
  But we will not remember the shame...
  We are rushing towards new adventures, friends,
  And we will give the Fuhrer a defeat!
  The children laughed and held hands. They flew, lightly and naturally, as if they were angels. The hall they were in was quite large, and the walls were covered with bright, moving pictures like cartoons.
  There were also some flowers growing there. Large, but with different petals. And each petal had its own individual pattern. It looked wonderful.
  And the scent of flowers tickled my nostrils. Stalin-Vladislav blurted out:
  - Are we on Earth now?
  Alice laughed and replied:
  - A light-hole joke.
  The boy chief remembered. They were on the fifth planet from the star Sirius.
  The Great Russian Empire established a colony here. Humanity united in the twenty-first century after Great Russia invented thermoquark fusion and succeeded in creating a special weapon that ended the period of fragmented humanity. World peace and a period of cosmic expansion arrived.
  Now Sirius, too, has been colonized. An ancient civilization once existed there, but it perished in a nuclear war. The people who colonized the planet found fragments. Their main enemy was hordes of rats. They fought them with various methods. Ultimately, they defeated them with the help of nanobots.
  On the planets of Sirius, the fourth through seventh were comfortable for life, and there were twelve of them in total.
  The fifth was considered the best. It had a relatively mild climate, lush local vegetation, abundant moisture, and many beautiful seas. Plus, hurricanes and earthquakes were rare. Therefore, people willingly settled there.
  The Earth's population grew rapidly. Life expectancy rose to a thousand years, and people practically never aged. Babies were carried in cybernetic wombs. They were then raised in large orphanages. Parents visited their children as often as they wished. And the children were happy there.
  Various entertainment, classes three times a week, long holidays.
  The older children didn't bully the younger ones, so the robot educators stopped any outrage, and the children were genetically enhanced and understood what was good and what was bad.
  But of course they loved to have fun and enjoy themselves. Vladislav Stalin felt himself becoming increasingly joyful, his ecstasy growing.
  He was in a young, childlike, genetically enhanced body. And how wonderful and wonderful it was. Or, as they say in the youth group, hyperpulsarous. How pleasant it was, and you spin and turn upside down.
  Stalin-Vladislav sang:
  How far has progress come?
  But unprecedented miracles...
  I'm spinning like a demon,
  And I fly up to the sky!
  The children laughed and exclaimed:
  - May the force of communism be with us!
  After which, the triumvirate, hand in hand, stormed out of the hall. The children, and especially Stalin, were eager to witness the new era. The building was enormous, its corridors winding and quite beautiful. Statues moved, and robots of various designs saluted.
  This was truly technotronic luxury. Some of the machines resembled spiders and scorpions, while others resembled people. You'd think they were children, too. But there were also real boys and girls. And they cried out:
  - Hyperpulsar for the champions!
  That's how it is here... And the triumvirate rushed outside. Here too, it was extremely fun and wonderful.
  Vladislav Stalin saw a very colorful, futuristic city. It featured wonderful and often ornate buildings. Some were shaped like prisms, others like triangles and hexagons, there were quadricycles, and even more exotic forms - like a cross between an eagle, a squirrel, and a samovar.
  There were a lot of children swirling in the air. They looked like fireflies. Sweet, very beautiful, and agile creatures. There were many grown-up girls too. In the world of the bright future, there are a thousand times more representatives of the fair sex than the stronger sex. And that's great. And among the children, there were many times more girls. But many of them had short haircuts and were wearing spacesuits, and they could have been mistaken for boys.
  Vladislav Stalin noted:
  - There are so many girls here!
  Oleg nodded:
  - There are few of us boys! But we are stronger and smarter than the girls!
  Alice squeaked:
  "Maybe stronger, but certainly not smarter! So let's play military-economic strategy!"
  Stalin-Vladislav chuckled and remarked, singing:
  Fortune's hour,
  It's time to play!
  Fortune's hour,
  Try not to waste this hour!
  The girl squeaked:
  - Maybe you want to play something more ancient?
  Oleg muttered:
  - For Julius Caesar, for example?
  Alice giggled and replied:
  - Maybe it would be even simpler then, would you like to play as Hitler?
  Stalin-Vladislav chirped:
  - What else do you have where you can play as Hitler?
  The girl squeaked:
  "Of course you can! For example, it's funny how the Fuhrer was so stupid that he sold out the USSR in less than four years. And in his place, you could take Moscow, London, and even Washington!"
  Stalin-Vladislav, who was very happy in his new, young body, took and sang:
  Maybe we offended someone in vain,
  Dropped fifteen megatons...
  Now the smoke is pouring out, the earth is burning,
  Where the White House once stood!
  Alice squeaked and, spinning around, noted:
  - What a funny song! Although an atomic bomb isn't such a formidable force! A device smaller than a child's fist completely neutralizes an atomic bomb explosion.
  Stalin-Vladislav clarified:
  - And hydrogen?
  The girl laughed and replied:
  - We need a device the size of a child's head here!
  A girl with a rainbow-colored hairdo flew up to them. She giggled and remarked:
  - You're all spinning. What about obstacle racing?
  Oleg cooed:
  - There's no point in chasing after just one - you'll catch a pig!
  Stalin-Vladislav chirped:
  "The piglet is no problem - it will be delicious food! And add some brine to it, and the pork is ready to be served!"
  The girl, the memory of the previous boy told her that this was Natasha, squeaked and answered:
  - At the glutton's!
  Alice noted:
  - Boys will be boys! They think more about material things!
  Oleg answered with a smile:
  - Soon the time will come when people will eat only for pleasure, and will feed on hypercurrent!
  The young team burst out laughing.
  Vladislav Stalin noted:
  - But current is painful! So hypercurrent is hyperpainful!
  Natasha giggled and noted:
  "But the machine doesn't feel any pain from the current. And people will soon become closer to machines!"
  Oleg spun around, snapped his bare toes and began to sing:
  There are many different doors in space,
  Streams of evil hyperplasm are raging!
  Knowledge has given a lot of keys,
  We were people, and now we are gods!
  
  On starships we rush along the waves,
  Quarks foam in the vortices of ether!
  What will I pass on to my descendants?
  To the children of another, stormy world!
  
  The vacuum is warm, it warms the hearts,
  The stars around are like the faces of lovers!
  We serve progress - there is no end,
  And on Earth the maples rustle gently!
  
  Where we step, Rus' blossoms,
  The thunder of battles is the music of life!
  Let us set out boldly on a new campaign,
  Let us serve the eternal Fatherland sacredly!
  
  Let there be sacrifices - space is harsh,
  Many different species and races!
  The abyss of worlds is too vast,
  A friend in the evening, but betrayed in the morning!
  
  But for Russia, there are no barriers,
  Everyone knows: the Russian spirit is strength!
  Neither Gehenna nor Hell will frighten you,
  Death and the grave will not take you captive!
  
  Only flesh can be annihilated,
  Well, the soul serves the Motherland faithfully!
  Troubles and sorrows - overcome everything,
  If we have to, let's tighten our belts!
  
  Here we have defeated the enemies,
  We are humanity - the navel of the universe!
  If an abomination comes, it will meet with a blow,
  It does not suit us: softness, sorrow and sobbing!
  
  For us, space has become like an inner courtyard,
  A quick flight between the stars, like a walk!
  Though the heavenly carpet is boundless,
  We can remake it - no joke!
  Vladislav-Stalin and the other children clapped. Natasha celebrated by blowing a kiss:
  - You sing wonderfully! Such a wonderful voice!
  Suddenly, a whistle was heard, and a grown-up, very beautiful girl with a fanciful hairstyle appeared. She appeared like a jack-in-the-box, and her form-fitting armor suit was so thin yet durable that it completely concealed her figure.
  The athletic girl squeaked:
  - I see folk art here!
  Oleg nodded in agreement, bowing his head on his unchildishly strong neck:
  - Yes, Mrs. Fay Rodis. This is my own composition!
  The girl, very beautiful and athletically built, spun around and responded by snapping her bare toes, causing several multi-colored bubbles to fly out:
  - Hyperpulsar! And now I will sing my own composition!
  The children from the future shouted in unison:
  - You are welcome, comrade general!
  Fay Rodis corrected:
  - No longer a general, but a marshal!
  Vladislav-Stalin wondered why the female marshal was barefoot. Although, it's much more comfortable and easier to work miracles with bare toes.
  And the girl spun around for another ten minutes, somersaulting in the air, and with great enthusiasm, she started singing:
  May there be happiness for all people forever,
  Caressing the stars, cheerfully fooling around and laughing!
  Only hopeless cripples are sad,
  In fact, man is the prince of all!
  
  I wasn't looking for a prince in the stormy waters,
  After all, for me, recognition is cutting down enemies with a sword!
  And even in dreams, I dream of a fierce fight,
  War is beautiful, even if it is terrible - burn the horde with fire!
  
  Here the starship fell in the darkness, burning,
  The shards scattered like gems in the mountains!
  And the rocks became like the plumage of a parrot,
  When it"s beautiful, pain and fear disappear!
  
  Now I'm dancing like I'm a gypsy,
  Bare feet were stained with blood!
  Know that cannonade is the best barrel organ,
  To crush everyone is the most passionate love!
  
  Violence is a bottomless pit,
  A sharp needle is stuck in the heart!
  And on other planets people groan,
  Fate presented them with such a "prize"!
  
  I fight from dusk till dawn,
  And even the Devil himself was surprised!
  The valor of this maiden is sung in poems,
  And I can read her passion on her lips!
  
  Yes, revenge knows no boundaries or measures,
  If you offend Rus', don"t blame the fool!
  The land of the Fatherland is better than a place in paradise,
  Cement is the idea, people are the bricks!
  
  And in my soul, a wound aches cruelly,
  My boyfriend died defending the region!
  And the Motherland is trampled, desecrated,
  I'm like in chains, dare to seek revenge!
  
  In another universe, there are even three suns,
  The planet may be lush, but the air is dry!
  And to hell with all the wisdom and science,
  My hyperlaser has given up and gone out!
  
  But my goal is to save Russia from troubles,
  Find the key that crushes death!
  The space was watered by the tears of the fallen,
  I don"t believe it for long - I have to endure the collapse of the country!
  The children applauded, clapping their hands aggressively. Some boys and girls, barefoot, snapped their bare toes, emitting sparks and pulsars. It was quite a joyful sight. Or, as they say, hyperquasaric!
  Vladislav Stalin reflected that his reign had been difficult. First, there was strict collectivization, then industrialization, when people denied themselves everything they needed. Then came the Great Patriotic War.
  It wasn't exactly long-less than four years, shorter than a US presidential term. But it was bloody and brutal-utterly horrific. It could have been done with less bloodshed, of course. Especially if Stalin had struck in May 1940, when the Nazis invaded France. Then there was a chance to resolve everything with far less bloodshed, and much faster!
  But that's just a coincidence! If the battleship Petropavlovsk hadn't sunk along with Admiral Makarov, then Tsarist Russia would have won the war with Japan. And Stalin wouldn't have been the great leader of the USSR!
  To his shame, Stalin rejoiced at the Tsarist regime losing the war with Japan. So did Lenin and other Bolsheviks. But they can be understood - they had suffered enough under autocracy and wanted its swift fall. Plus, they had a thirst for self-government.
  Fay Rodis shouted:
  - What are you thinking about, kid?
  Vladislav Stalin answered evasively:
  - Yes, I remembered something old!
  Fay Rodis laughed and exclaimed:
  - Do you have an old one? You look so young!
  Oleg spun around and asked:
  - Who is born with a beard, but not a goat!
  Alice replied:
  - I thought it was Lenin!
  The children burst into laughter and began to spin. The female marshal said sternly:
  - Inappropriate joke!
  And instantly moving, she grabbed Alice by the nose with her bare toes. The girl screamed, it hurt. And the other children laughed even harder.
  Vladislav Stalin replied:
  - I think this is a joke!
  Oleg giggled, twisted around, snapped the bare toes of his right, childish foot, and remarked:
  - Now, I'd say you almost got it right! Although not quite!
  Fay Rodis let go of Alice and noted:
  - Yes, that's right! It's not exactly a joke that's born with a beard! Especially one related to scientific discoveries. So, my boy, would you like a cane on your heels?
  Stalin-Vladislav grinned and sang:
  The whole world is under the iron heel,
  All people are slaves under the yoke...
  We consider freedom a dream,
  The collar is attached with a core!
  Oleg noted:
  - How clever! Maybe we can fly further!
  The girl marshal objected:
  - No! You won't get rid of me so easily!
  Natasha asked timidly:
  - Maybe they will sing for you!
  Rodis objected:
  "My head's already splitting from all the songs! No, let it be catchphrases! If you give me a good portion, I'll not only let you go, but I'll even give you a badge!"
  Oleg answered with a smile:
  - You'll get some winged sayings, Comrade Marshal! But not just me, but my friends too, will have to wear a badge!
  Fay chuckled and replied:
  - If you win the race, you will receive an order!
  For children, medals, orders, and badges are incredibly important. And for adults too!
  Stalin, too, was fond of medals in his previous life. Not quite as extravagantly as Leonid Brezhnev, of course, but he did have quite a few. Two Hero of the USSR stars and two Orders of Victory, among the most valuable. But the leader rarely wore them, leading to the myth of Stalin's modesty.
  Why didn't he personally review the victory parade, instead entrusting it to Zhukov? The cost of the Great Patriotic War was too high, and the leader understood this, and it made him uneasy. He no longer had the strength to fight NATO.
  Fay Rodis exclaimed:
  - Don't vacuum me, just spout aphorisms!
  And Oleg started to speak at a breakneck pace:
  A ruler who seriously claims to be God will suffer the fate of a comical primate in folk jokes!
  The one whose brain only clears up when he's hit gets black eyes!
  A cigarette is not as scary as a brain in the shape of an ashtray!
  A politician-invader is a vampire by vocation, but no matter how much blood the ghoul drinks, he will always hang on the aspen stake of popular hatred!
  Everything impossible in reality is possible in a dream, and for someone who doesn"t know the word "impossible" to become a dream come true!
  Life, fixated on the links of small things, really does turn into a suffocating routine like a chain!
  Fairy tales should have a happy ending, so why is it that in reality a person always ends in death?
  Death is always a masterpiece because it is unique and always a hack job because it is not in demand for personal use!
  Don't say you're sick if you want to pick some sweet pears!
  Blood flows like water, but is reflected in tears!
  The Nazis made gasoline from coal, their souls were black, and their blood was ersatz!
  There is no harm in dreaming, but the most destructive thing in the world is indulging in dreams instead of action!
  Dreamers are not given the power to turn a dream into reality, realists are not given the power to make something real so that it could be dreamed about!
  - A slave to his own passions will never be able to subjugate someone whose only passion is serving humanity!
  Belief in life after death allows those who believe in nothing but mammon to line their pockets while they are alive!
  To beat a strong one is to taste honey in a hive, sweet to taste, painful to bite!
  My legs hurt like they were on asphalt, but when I went feet first onto the asphalt I felt no sensation at all!
  A person can be late for everything except his own funeral, and that"s because he always expects a later date!
  He who does not have a valuable mind in this world will acquire darkness in the future at a discounted price!
  War is the opposite of woman in the taking of life, but is similar in the temptation of enslaving man!
  You don't spread horseradish on honey, you don't eat Snickers with vodka, and you don't drink beer during Lent!
  A machine is a beast, a man as a machine is worse than an animal!
  Blindness protects from murderous fear, but not from what puts you in the grave!
  The loot isn't always valuable, but when it isn't, no one will pay any price to get it!
  A person seeks God as a nanny, but finds Him as a pacifier for his infantile perception of the world!
  Everyone needs the Almighty God, but for some reason only the weak with the demands of a primate ask him for help!
  It is not man that descended from the monkey, but man's disbelief in the possibility of living outside the laws of the jungle!
  A man is ashamed to admit his kinship with a monkey, but what pride it evokes in the possession of an animal"s grip!
  The law of God's commandments is inferior in practical use to the law of the jungle, but in contrast to theoretical scholasticism, it is used by everyone who wants to snatch an animal!
  You won't be able to drink the sea, if only because it's impossible to separate the river runoff that flows into the seawater!
  Man, like a hungry primate, dreams of robbing God, but only his soul, filled with the vomit of base passions, remains robbed!
  God is the savior of all, but not everyone wants to part with suicidal egoism and destructive brutality in order to save their life!
  For some reason, people don"t like human competition, but they adore animal squabbles; however, with such tastes, the descendants of primates have no right to bear the proud name of human!
  People are infinite in their ability to improve themselves; in this regard, they have an infinite advantage over the Creator, who is already perfect!
  Those who await Golgotha are already equal in fate to the Creator, even if only for three hours! And those who chose the path of Judas will be equal to Satan throughout an eternity of torment!
  In war, lies are salvation, in the world they are empty lies!
  The one who predictably plans his victories always loses!
  The Motherland begins with a cry of hurray on the lips of a child, but a man should not remain an eternal infant who does not go further than bawling in his love for the Fatherland!
  There are no untalented people, there are only untalented connoisseurs and mediocre abilities in realizing their talents!
  Chess is not just a game, it makes even the shah checkmate in frustration!
  He who laughs last, laughs best, but not at the meagerness of the trophies that the latecomer gets!
  Sometimes people do stupid things while looking smart, but if you do something while looking stupid, even a smart move will turn into an idiotic result!
  Truth is never harmful, it is bitter like a healing medicine, only sometimes needing a shell of cloying lies!
  Science gives a person the power to do everything, but it cannot invent a cure for ignorance!
  Laughter revives a person, even when the laughter is ridiculous to death!
  Time is the strictest judge, you judge without witnesses and never justify... Well, maybe posthumously!
  Man has inherited the pig's craving for gluttony, the fox's cunning, the monkey's imitation, and the hare's cowardice, but in his desire to subjugate everyone, even Leo is his apprentice!
  Know the Khan who fears the boss! He thinks the Khan is the boss, but in reality he's just a boor!
  The pomposity of a brightly colored peacock is most characteristic of dull personalities and dull minds!
  An undefeated enemy is a terrible one, but this is too short a period of time to be properly frightened!
  A soldier can become cannon fodder if his head is not a weapon for firing non-standard moves!
  A large barrel caliber does not compensate for the gunner"s lack of intelligence, but it does provide immediate destruction in skilled hands!
  Mercy in war is a luxury, but luxury in military affairs is harmful, except in the case of generously rewarding an altruistic hero!
  It's not nice to look a gift horse in the mouth, but it's even worse to lose a jaw if you don't use the gift properly!
  Groaning in pain after being wounded is as inappropriate as urinating outside the toilet, and in the first case the stench can only be dispelled by a hurricane of courage in the performance of a feat!
  The reward always seems small, and the feat enormous, so let's drink to it being so, because without great feats there will be no one to give even a modest reward!
  Anger for oneself is base, rage for the Fatherland is noble!
  To surrender means to betray everyone, to die means to betray yourself, but to survive, you must not indulge in thoughts about your weaknesses that push you to a treacherous death!
  The most treacherous death, to fall, fleeing from death!
  Cruelty in war is like surgery in medicine - you want to avoid it, but if there is no other way out, refusal is tantamount to treason!
  CHAPTER No 18.
  Stalin-Vladislav noted to himself that these were very wise aphorisms against which there was nothing to object.
  Fay Rodis nodded with a smile:
  - Bravo! You, Oleg Rybachenko, have undoubtedly earned the badge! Now take it!
  The female marshal snapped the fingers of her right hand. And a badge with a bright stone stuck to the bare, muscular chest of a twelve-year-old boy named Oleg.
  The boy bowed his head slightly and sang:
  The anthem of the Motherland sings in our hearts,
  There is no one more beautiful in the whole universe...
  Squeeze the ray gun tighter, knight,
  Fight for the Russia given to our Family!
  Fay Rodis nodded her head at them and replied:
  - Well, okay, I have things to do!
  And the warrior-marshal flashed her bare, round heels and flew off at great speed, like a comet. And quickly disappeared.
  Stalin-Vladislav noted, smacking his lips:
  - Cool girl!
  Oleg answered with a cool boy smile:
  - She's a sweetheart! But she can punish you very harshly. It's best not to mess with her!
  Natasha noticed:
  - All's well that ends well! And it looks like we haven't even begun yet!
  Alice nodded:
  - Yes, our crew hasn"t found a suitable boat yet.
  Stalin-Vladislav replied:
  - We will definitely find it!
  And the children sang in chorus:
  Who is used to fighting for victory,
  Let him sing with us...
  He who is cheerful laughs,
  Whoever wants it will achieve it,
  He who seeks will always find!
  A song like that would cheer anyone up. After which the triumvirate, two boys and a girl, flew off toward the spaceport. If they were going to leave, it would be better to leave early.
  Along the way, Stalin-Vladislav admired the buildings and highways. For example, the moving walkways. They moved along the highway at different speeds. The ones on the edges were purple. Then they accelerated. The blue ones were slightly faster, the light blue ones even faster, and then the green ones were even more nimble. So, through the colors of the rainbow. And of course, the lightning-fast red one right in the center. Now that was truly cool and awesome.
  Stalin thought this was roughly how science fiction writers imagined the future. They described moving walkways, for example. And flying machines that fluttered through the air. And beautiful buildings. And not just geometric ones. There were asters stacked on top of each other, and other kinds of flower buds. Plus, seven crocodiles, from large to small.
  Which wasn't even here. And a pyramid of tomatoes and much more.
  Stalin-Vladislav noticed that there were a lot of girls. Boys and men were rare.
  On the one hand, it's beautiful, but on the other, there's no harmony. Most of the flying machines are teardrop-shaped. Which makes sense, considering they're streamlined. There were also dolphins and deep-sea fish with gold and bright orange fins. There were also flying machines shaped like flower buds. What else wasn't there? It's simply beautiful. The world of the fifth planet. Aliens have barely been encountered yet. Apparently, the universe isn't particularly teeming with intelligent life. But that's basically natural. Anyone who's studied the theory of evolution understands this.
  It's not easy for life to arise on its own and then develop. Creationists have made use of this for good reason. But the existence of evolution was known even before Charles Darwin. As was the concept of selective breeding.
  And it must be said that it worked.
  Stalin-Vladislav muttered:
  - We will develop to the level of Gods!
  Alice logically noted:
  "Power must be combined with high morality. Otherwise, great, cosmic power could truly become a curse and destroy humanity!"
  Oleg pointed ahead:
  - Do you see the gilded fountain, and in it there is a statue of a girl in a bikini with a blaster in her hands?
  Stalin-Vladislav nodded:
  - Of course! The girl is very beautiful, covered in gold leaf, and what about her eyes? No, they're not sapphires, but something even more wonderful and beautiful!
  Alice answered with a smile:
  "These are blue diamonds! This girl is a great warrior and traveler. She was able to defeat the fleet-breathing pirates, who possessed a fairly advanced level of technology, and she truly performed a miracle!"
  Oleg snapped his bare toes, causing three packs of ice cream, coated in something sticky, to appear in his hand and handed them to his partners:
  - Help yourself! This Captain's ice cream is straight from the Hypernet!
  Stalin-Vladislav asked:
  - What was this girl's name?
  Alice replied:
  "Her name was Elena. They're the legendary four warrior girls. Sometimes they band together, and sometimes they act separately. They have colossal mental abilities!"
  Stalin-Vladislav noted:
  "It's great to have superhuman abilities! Still, without strength, it's hard to accomplish feats and win!"
  Oleg nodded:
  - That's true! But you have to admit, the more difficult the game, the more interesting it is!
  Stalin recalled how he "played" the Great Patriotic War. From the very first days, the enemy began to win, and the front lines crumbled.
  Thus, the Nazis were winning until the end of November 1941. When they were first pressed on the flanks, and then in December, a counteroffensive began in the center.
  Stalin, of course, would never admit this to anyone, but back then he was truly scared, and he could even have a stroke or a heart attack from the extreme stress.
  Fortunately, the course of the war was turned, and not just through efforts, but at the cost of super-efforts.
  Meanwhile, Natasha typed in the hologram and the database, noting:
  Finding a suitable shipyard isn't a problem. But they're usually guarded and access is restricted...
  Alice nodded:
  "Yes, pirates have become more active on the outskirts of the empire. And there are rumors that there are people among them, too!"
  Oleg frowned:
  - People? Does that mean not everyone likes our communist order?
  Stalin-Vladislav logically noted:
  As long as there is free will, there is sin! As long as there is reason, there is betrayal! And this must be fought!
  The four children-two boys and two girls-flew on. The situation was truly interesting. And the city was beautiful. A whole metropolis, actually. And the most magnificent flowers grew there. It all truly resembled a futuristic paradise.
  Stalin-Vladislav was in high spirits. How humanity had evolved, and how beautiful everything had become. And the air wasn't filled with exhaust fumes, but rather the scent of flowers and herbs. And soft, pleasant music could be heard. And there were a thousand times more girls than men-how beautiful and magical it was.
  And most importantly, people don't age. Stalin was always horrified by old women-how ugly! But youth is beautiful and vibrant. Everything about it is so wonderful. Fairytale, radiant worlds. And Stalin dreamed that, with time, people would conquer old age. And he believed it.
  And now he's a boy of about twelve, in a cosmic future. A car flies by, brushing aside a peony bud, and something like a finless shell floats nearby. And everything looks so charming and rich. And flowers are growing, and imagine each petal a colorful, individual, unique design.
  There's such serenity in the air-it's like you're in paradise. And yet, there's both dynamism and noise. No, this is a world that's very much alive.
  Alice, flying by, noticed:
  "Why don't we try ordering a boat from Hypernet? I think they'll make us the best one there for a small fee!"
  Oleg noted:
  "That's against the rules! Otherwise, other kids from different systems would start ordering the best for themselves. We have to either build it ourselves from scratch, or redesign and modernize what's outdated."
  Natasha laughed and remarked:
  The pioneer bugle sounds menacingly,
  The boy strives for space glory...
  There will be clubs and bourbon for us,
  In a multi-faceted game without rules!
  Stalin-Vladislav nodded vigorously:
  - Yes, that's well said! Although, Yesenin... No, he was a lyricist, but something like this...
  And the boy-leader turned on the hologram on his computer bracelet. A cartoon battle was raging there. Bottles of various kinds of alcohol and packs of cigarettes were duelling. And it looked quite funny.
  Now, on one side, there were five packs of Belomor cigarettes, and on the other, five bottles of Stolichnaya vodka. And let's get to work.
  She is a team on one planet - the second on another.
  And active construction began.
  Vodka began to build a vodka factory, and cigarettes a tobacco factory.
  And the game got going and went.
  The girl Natasha answered with a laugh, seeing such a construction:
  - This is, of course, the highest class in the world!
  Crocodile Gena, whose hologram immediately appeared nearby, muttered in response, snapping his green tail:
  - Russian vodka, what have you done...
  Oleg snapped his bare toes and a funny cartoon character appeared next to him.
  Murzilka, flapping his yellow paws, picked up:
  - Russian vodka, you have ruined me!
  And Alice snapped her bare toes. And a little animal with big ears appeared.
  Cheburashka added, his large ears spinning like propeller blades:
  - Russian vodka, I wish I had some herring with it!
  Arkasha also conjured up something interesting and cool.
  The golden ball, jumping up, added:
  - It's good to have fun -
  It's hard when you have a hangover!
  Stalin-Vladislav replied:
  - That's exactly it, vodka is disgusting, you shouldn't drink it!
  This is truly a more than funny team.
  And now the alcohol and cigarette factories have been built. And now new bottles and packs are coming out.
  And they, in turn, are building new factories. New types of liquor are appearing: "Pshenichnaya," "Tri Bogatyrya," "Anisovaya," and "Zubrovka." So the bottles are multiplying.
  Stalin-Vladislav thought it was truly hyperpulsar. What a fantasy, one might say super- and hyper-level!
  And at the same time, the variety of tobacco products is growing. Java, Cosmos, Marlboro, and others have appeared. Here are these monsters crawling out of the game.
  The virtual animals were talking.
  Cheburashka noted:
  - What disgusting things these cigarettes are!
  Murzilka logically noted:
  - And alcohol is no better!
  Oleg confirmed this by stamping his bare foot so hard that sparks flew from his bare, childish heel.
  Factories producing this abomination are being built quickly. But they also produce cigarettes and bottles, dig mines, and replicate the latest technologies with enormous, powerful force. This is what's being produced, in particular.
  At the same time, special types of cigars and types of beer with cognac began to appear.
  The cigarettes started to sip alcohol.
  The girl Natasha whistled, and now spaceships that appeared in the hypernet matrix at the wave of a magic wand rushed into the sky.
  And so, in the vacuum of space, the latest, most formidable weapon. Starships spring up like mushrooms after rain.
  A grand, stellar battle is brewing. And ships are arriving. Some are as huge as asteroids-grass battleships; others are smaller, but also bristling with gun barrels.
  Stalin-Vladslav noted:
  - An IS-7 tank with a hyperdrive would be awesome!
  So the first to take to the skies are flocks of small, single-piloted planes. And they race toward each other. Packs of Camel cigarettes are the most elite fighters, and they're up against bottles of Napoleon cognac. Which is actually pretty cool, incredibly cool. And then laser cannons fire-the fighters resemble rays, or deep-sea fish with wings. The beams scatter, hitting the fast-moving vehicles.
  Oleg jumped up and squeaked:
  - Hypermagoplasm!
  The first broken bottles and lit cigarettes in a firework of multi-colored explosions.
  It looks like two waves colliding. They overlap. Several fighter jets even ram each other. Explosions follow... A bottle of strong Jamaican rum shatters into pieces and bursts into flames.
  Alice, watching this and giving commands, squealed:
  - We will release photons for you!
  Olezhka grinned and replied:
  - This is just the beginning!
  The fighters collided, tried to get behind each other, and spun around like in a whirlpool.
  And more and more forces entered the fray. Now more powerful two- and three-seater vehicles were brought into play. They, too, were streamlined and translucent.
  Cigarettes fumbled with their paws over the joysticks, bottles clinked and also moved their limbs. It all looked very bloody and brutal.
  Stalin-Vladislav also rushed into battle in a single-seat fighter. His aircraft has six laser cannons and is deadly. However, it's not so easy to penetrate head-on - the semi-spatial field vibrates.
  Stalin-Vladislav, in his childish body, is very agile, and reacts faster than a pack of cigarettes. Here's a deadly turn, and the enemy literally bursts into flames, as if splashed with gasoline.
  The flame was a mixture of blue and green, as if ignoring the vacuum.
  Stalin-Vladislav sang:
  - War does not frighten us,
  I am an angel, not Satan!
  Alice is also in the fight. She's chosen fighters with two pulse cannons that fire gravity beams. The girl is wearing only a bikini, which barely covers her body.
  And this makes the muscular and curvy Alice even more beautiful and charming. Her bare, shiny-nailed fingers deftly press the buttons.
  And so the fighter of the Belomor pack split into two equal parts.
  Alice had an association with the heart.
  The girl from the future sang:
  - My poor heart is ready-
  To explode in the chest like a shell...
  A word of affection for your loved one,
  For a radiant, sparkling look!
  Small boats also began to join the battle. They, too, were shaped like sea creatures-dolphins or sharks-and densely packed with guns.
  Natasha Belaya is also in action, of course. Only this time, she's chosen the role of commander of a guided-missile destroyer. What a choice that is.
  
  The destroyer resembles a barracuda shark with fifty guns of different calibers.
  Natasha Belaya sings:
  - The vastness of space -
  Death's veil...
  Dark swamp -
  She sucked it in greedily!
  Alice energetically shot down another enemy vehicle, splitting it with her impulse, and said:
  - Is it really an honor?
  You can't find it in the sky...
  The heart thirsts for revenge -
  Wants to save the world!
  On the other side, Katya is fighting, another girl from the outside has joined the game, here the children from the future want to have fun... She throws out all sorts of pirouettes in a fighter, and she is carried through the vacuum like a feather.
  The girl pressed the button with her bare, round heel and squeaked:
  - The commander's order during the war...
  And another boy joined the game. In this Soviet, space-faring country, there are a lot of children, and that's really cool.
  Lyokha Teterev, slamming into yet another colossus, his needle-like pulse this time pierced the boat's tail, setting it ablaze. It was like bottles of alcohol running around, colliding and exploding. The alcoholic drinks twitched comically with their human paws and legs.
  The young warrior and athlete sang:
  - Who was a man before,
  That one will turn to zero!
  Katya, pressing her pink, bare heel on the trigger, squeaked:
  - Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle! Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!
  Let's explode alcohol!
  New girls join the showdown and fun virtual game.
  Makha also joined the battle, but this time as commander of the first missile cruiser to emerge from the hangars. The girl, though modest in appearance, has a mind of her own.
  And hard times have come for bottles of liquor. And this is a figurative beating. The cruiser's mighty cannon struck. And from its mouth erupted a fiery pulsar. It brought colossal destruction. And it passed by like a nightmarish greeting.
  Masha sang, imitating the others:
  Everything will be fine in this world,
  Happy on the planet like children!
  The cruiser is something like a killer whale. A serious combat unit. And the cigarette packs salute Makha. From the outside, everything looks comical, like something out of an adult cartoon.
  But then there are the cruiser basements. They're slower to build, but each one has two hundred guns and thermoquark missiles. And that's certainly a serious argument.
  Alice chirped:
  - In elections, people win with numbers, but I win with skill!
  Both a warrior and a grand academician give commands. Yes, there were some hiccups. Like skirmishes with an entire army of broken robots. But as the saying goes: kindness prevails. The injured commander was repaired, and the army of machines returned to a normal perception of reality.
  At the same time, of course, I refreshed my memory of the three laws of robotics.
  And now there's a virtual war going on. And every pack of cigarettes with stems is both a combat unit and an individual.
  Alice sang:
  - We will go into battle boldly,
  Photon knocked out of orbit....
  We will destroy the battleships -
  All enemies will be defeated!
  The bottles explode and burn very brightly. They're full of alcohol. Even the ones that are supposed to contain beer. This is, of course, very interesting and funny.
  Makha pressed the button with her bare foot. A lethal pulsar erupted. And the boat crumbled. So there you have frigates in battle. They're quite comfortable and nimble machines with powerful armament.
  Battleships are heading into battle. Even larger than cruisers, they carry extremely powerful guns. They also launch missiles that hurtle toward the enemy at superluminal speeds.
  Stalin-Vladislav, seeing how the tails remained in the vacuum, noted:
  - A very decent war!
  And the boy, the leader of all times and peoples, felt a gravitational wave coming from the exploded rocket, and the young warrior was shaken.
  He flew up the ridge... The sensations were very sharp, even his stomach tickled.
  And then a sharp drop downwards.
  Alice, who was also shaken, bared her teeth and noted:
  - It's a tsunami.
  Stalin-Vladislav, pressing his bare toes on the bare, children's feet, aligning the fighter, sang:
  - Straight with your bare hands -
  I dealt with the tsunami!
  Alice pressed the lever with her bare toes, sending out a jolt of hyperplasma, and added:
  
  - And any ninth wave,
  This is like Claude Vandamme to you!
  How I trained a puppy!
  Battleships are formidable weapons with powerful defenses, but they are the slowest to build.
  But they are also the most effective and terrifying tools of breakthrough. They resemble whales and carry thousands of weapons.
  Natasha Belaya moved through the escape capsule, fluttering like a float during a storm, in the first ship of such a colossal class.
  Stalin-Vladislav, in which the poet lived and had an excellent view from a fighter jet, thanks to numerous three-dimensional screens, sang:
  - A huge motley board,
  The engines are humming on it....
  The living troops are moving,
  Both tanks and battleships!
  Hitler had a bad debut,
  They beat him like a first-grader!
  Alice squeaked, hitting another target with a well-aimed shot, causing the cigarette packs to smoke:
  - Tanks you say!
  The boy leader, who was called the greatest of all times and peoples, deftly avoided the hefty pulsar fired from the cruiser's cannon and confirmed:
  - And tanks too!
  And he added, again twisting the triple barrel roll:
  - A tank also has a soul!
  He snapped his bare toes, his feet as nimble as a monkey's paws. It's good to be a child after all.
  Alice nodded:
  "Some bottles here have already started confessing to being combat blasters. I must say, this is extremely practical!"
  Her little voice was like the laughter of a siren, or the ringing of silver bells, or pure rock crystal.
  And the girl swerved her car to the right. A juicy, three-colored bolt of lightning flashed past. And that's a very serious, destructive substance.
  Or maybe an organ of war?
  Natasha, already from the battleship, pressing the buttons of the joystick with her bare, graceful toes of her marvelously beautiful and graceful feet, blazed up with a truly deadly column.
  It's when hyperplasma, heated to quintillions of degrees, flies that even the devils become afraid.
  And maybe to angels, regardless of whether they are fallen or not.
  Natasha chirped, watching the punctured cruiser with packs of expensive and not so expensive cigarettes split into pieces.
  The girl screams at the top of her lungs:
  - Quit smoking! Before it's too late!
  Here's the general's pack of Camels, as it gets burned by the super-fire of hyperplasma and starts to burn.
  And his legs start twitching, his voice is so wild and frenzied.
  This is not a bathhouse.
  Natasha the Terminator girl noted:
  - There are women in our villages,
  They fly a plane jokingly...
  And there is a very wise opinion,
  What a tough woman will kill!
  
  They are born to win,
  To glorify Rus' for centuries...
  After all, our great grandfathers,
  For them they gather an army for battle!
  A well-known, but very smart and erudite boy was with them.
  Arkady Sapozhkov quite logically noted:
  - A woman is not the weaker sex, but the beautiful!
  And he gave the order to develop neighboring planets and build new factories for the bottle slaves. Yes, this is strategy, and a colossal, incomparable battle.
  Alice, having hit another car, sang with pathos:
  - We were born to make a fairy tale come true,
  And all the enemies of the Fatherland - into dust!
  Above us is a golden-winged cherub,
  We will stand and win again!
  Stalin-Vladislav agreed with this:
  - We really will win, we have the IS-7 tank with us! And it will crush everyone!
  In the twenty-first century, the duel between the IS-7 and the Maus (Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus) in Oleg Rybachenko's historical simulators and "nano-reconstructions" is considered a battle of a "dynamic sledgehammer" against an "immovable rock."
  In the reality of 2026, given the plutonium upgrades, this battle turns into a triumph of maneuverable power over senseless gigantomania.
  1. Gladiator performance characteristics
  IS-7: Weight: 68 tons. Speed: 60 km/h. 130mm S-70 cannon. Armor: the legendary "pike nose." The 2026 version features a hypermagic plasma accelerator.
  Maus: Weight: 188 tons. Speed: 13-20 km/h. Gun: 128 mm KwK 44. Armor: up to 240 mm. It's a steel bunker that barely moves and sinks in any soft ground.
  2. The course of the duel: "Bullfight on Plutonium"
  A 3-kilometer distance: The Maus attempts to aim its unwieldy turret. The IS-7, piloted barefoot by the teenage Rybachenko, races across the field at 80 km/h, performing a "barefoot drift." A Maus shell slams into the ground where the IS-7 was a second ago.
  Distance 1 km: The IS-7 hits the "German" side. The Maus is too slow to turn. Oleg presses the trigger with his bare heel.
  The finale: a 130mm plutonium shell slams into the Maus's side hull. Despite the colossal thickness of its steel, the IS-7's kinetic energy causes a "nano-fracture" effect. 188 tons of German iron are reduced to a pile of scrap metal. The IS-7 doesn't even stop, leaping over the debris.
  Bottom line: the Maus is an engineering dead end. The IS-7 is the pinnacle of tank evolution.
  In a real fight, the IS-7 would simply shoot the Maus in the side or rear, taking advantage of its colossal speed advantage.
  The 130mm S-70 cannon is guaranteed to penetrate the Maus from distances of up to 1.5 km.
  CHAPTER No19.
  And more and more forces entered the fray. Now more powerful two- and three-seater vehicles were brought into play. They, too, were streamlined and translucent. Although some glowed in all the colors of the rainbow or were painted khaki.
  Of course, there were also holographic cartoons.
  Crocodile Gena muttered:
  - Khaki colored ball,
  There will be crayfish for breakfast!
  Cigarettes fumbled with their paws on the joysticks, bottles clinked and also fiddled with their limbs. Although, of course, girls would have looked much prettier. It all looked very bloody and brutal.
  Murzilka, the combatant, also rushed into battle in a single-seat fighter. His craft boasts six laser cannons, making it deadly. However, it's not so easy to penetrate head-on-the semi-spatial field vibrates.
  Murzilka, in his cartoonish body, is incredibly agile, and his reflexes outpace a pack of cigarettes. The little animal, who became a superstar back in the Khrushchev era, spins his glass-clear car like a top. Then he makes a deadly turn, and the enemy literally bursts into flames, as if he'd been splashed with gasoline.
  Even cigarettes can actually scream in pain. And if they're poisoning people, then let them poison them too.
  The flame was a mixture of blue and green, as if ignoring the vacuum.
  Murzilka sang:
  - War does not frighten us,
  I am an angel, not Satan!
  The girl is also in the fight. She's chosen fighters with two pulse cannons that fire gravity beams. She's wearing only a tunic, like a slave in Ancient Greece, covering the body of a child terminator.
  And this makes the muscular and aggressive girl even more frightening and playful. Her bare, shiny-nailed fingers deftly press the buttons.
  The young warrior squeals:
  - I am a knight of Rome, on my knees, savages,
  I will wipe the enemies of the Fatherland from the face of the earth!
  And so the fighter of the Belomor pack split into two equal parts.
  And it will burst into flames as if doused with gasoline.
  The young warrior had an association with the heart.
  The little princess sang:
  - My poor heart is ready-
  To explode in the chest like a shell...
  A word of affection for your loved one,
  For a radiant, sparkling look!
  Murzilka remarked with a smile:
  - You are already over two hundred years old, and you are still a child!
  The girl nodded and said:
  - Childhood will end someday,
  Youth will last forever!
  Cheburashka knocked down another bottle, which burst like a whale releasing a fiery fountain and squeaked:
  - Don't grow up, guys,
  May the years never end!
  Small boats also began to join the battle. They, too, were shaped like sea creatures-dolphins or sharks-and densely packed with guns.
  Golden Ball, of course, is also in the fight. Only this time, he's chosen the role of commander of a missile destroyer. What a choice that is.
  The destroyer resembles a barracuda shark with fifty guns of various calibers, and the barrels of some are quite exotic in shape.
  The golden ball sings:
  - The vastness of space -
  
  Death's veil...
  Dark swamp -
  She sucked it in greedily!
  The girl princess energetically shot down another enemy vehicle, splitting it with her impulse, and said:
  - Is it really an honor?
  You can't find it in the sky...
  The heart thirsts for revenge -
  Wants to save the world!
  On the other side, Cheburashka is fighting... He's doing all sorts of pirouettes in a fighter jet, and he's being carried around in the vacuum like a feather.
  This cartoon animal pressed the pink button with its bare, round heel and squeaked:
  - The commander's order during the war...
  Murzilka added energetically:
  - When pieces of plasma fly!
  Cheburashka barked:
  - Full of love and great value!
  The yellow animal added:
  - Sacred to the star soldiers!
  Crocodile Gena, slamming into another colossus, his needle-like pulse this time pierced the boat's tail, setting it ablaze. It was like bottles of alcohol running around, colliding and exploding. Especially when the larger ones, filled with cognac and Havana rum, exploded.
  The alcoholic drinks were moving funny with human paws and legs.
  The young green warrior and crocodile, who became world famous, sang:
  - Who was a man before,
  That one will turn to zero!
  The little princess, pressing her pink, bare heel on the trigger, squeaked:
  - Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle! Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!
  Let's explode alcohol!
  Another girl, from a parallel network, also joined the fight. This time, she was commander of the first missile cruiser to emerge from the hangars. The girl, though outwardly modest, had a mind of her own.
  She cooed:
  - Fight drunkenness, fight drunkenness,
  He who doesn't drink is a hero!
  And hard times have come for bottles of liquor. And this is a figurative beating. The cruiser's mighty cannon struck. And from its mouth erupted a fiery, hyper-flame-fueled pulsar. It brought colossal destruction. Like a comet leaving a bridal train behind it. And it passed like a nightmarish greeting.
  A girl from a parallel team named Stella sang, imitating the others:
  Everything will be fine in this world,
  Happy on the planet like children!
  The cruiser is something like a killer whale. A serious combat unit. And the cigarette packs pay homage to the combative and aggressive Stella. And the girl responds with lightning bolts from her eyes. From the outside, it all looks comical, like a parody cartoon for adults.
  The little princess squeaked:
  - Our team is the strongest,
  But a cigarette is powerless in battle!
  But then there are the cruiser basements. They're slower to build, but each one has two hundred guns and thermoquark missiles. And that's certainly a serious argument.
  The princess girl chirped:
  - In elections, people win with numbers, but I win with skill!
  Both a warrior and a mischievous girl with royal blood, she gives commands. Yes, there have been some scrapes. Like skirmishes with an entire army of broken robots. But as the saying goes: kindness triumphs in this world.
  The little princess said with a laugh:
  - My boy with a cigarette,
  You have no choice...
  Now you are a collective farm ox,
  Plow in the smoke for Hitler!
  The injured commander of the cybernetic abominations was repaired, and the machine army returned to an adequate perception of reality.
  At the same time, of course, I refreshed my memory of the three laws of robotics, which are dictated by humanity.
  Murzilka roared:
  - Robots, robots, robots,
  The reason for our cartoons...
  Victories will be achieved,
  We are always men!
  And now there's a virtual war going on. And every pack of cigarettes with stems is both a combat unit and an individual.
  The little princess sang:
  - We will go into battle boldly,
  Photon knocked out of orbit....
  We will destroy the battleships -
  All enemies will be defeated!
  The bottles explode and burn very brightly. The flame is orange or blue. They're full of alcohol. Even the ones supposed to contain beer turned out to be quite high in alcohol. This, of course, is also very interesting and funny for cartoons.
  Here other girls from the space empire also entered the battle.
  Stella pressed the button with her bare foot. A lethal hyperplasmic blob erupted, reminiscent of a pulsar with a rich array of energies. And the boat crumbled. So do space frigates in battle. They're quite comfortable and nimble machines, moderately armored, with powerful weapons and powerful Force.
  The girl noted with excitement, winking:
  - Our strength is great,
  From the titanium fist!
  Battleships are heading into battle. Even larger than cruisers, they carry extremely powerful guns. They also launch missiles that hurtle toward the enemy at superluminal speeds.
  Murzilka, seeing how the tails remained in the vacuum, noted:
  - A very decent war!
  There is only one reason to win!
  And the cartoon character, adored by children from half the world (and not only children!), felt a gravitational wave from the exploding rocket, and the young warrior's thoughts were shaken.
  He flew up the ridge... The sensations were very sharp, even his stomach tickled.
  And then a sharp drop downwards.
  Murzilka hissed with a rage that was filled with annoyance:
  - We rush across the waves in starships,
  Quarks foam in the vortices of ether...
  What will I convey to my planet?
  To the children of the quasar, wonderful world!
  A girl wearing a crown, who could be called a princess, also appeared. A holographic august personage.
  The little princess, who was also shaken with great force, bared her teeth and said:
  - Is this a tsunami?
  Combat Murzilka, leveling the fighter, sang:
  - Straight with your bare hands -
  I dealt with the tsunami!
  Stella pressed the lever with her bare toes, sending out a discharge of hyperplasma, and added:
  - And any ninth wave,
  This is like Claude Vandamme to you!
  Battleships are formidable weapons with powerful defenses, but they are the slowest to build.
  And it is understood that they are the most expensive.
  But they are also the most effective and terrifying tools of breakthrough. They resemble whales and carry thousands of weapons.
  Stella moved from the parallel stream through the escape capsule, fluttering like a float during a storm, the first ship of such a colossal class.
  Murzilka, where the poet lived and had an excellent view from the fighter jet, thanks to the many three-dimensional screens, sang:
  - A huge motley board,
  The engines are humming on it....
  The living troops are moving,
  Both tanks and battleships!
  The little princess squealed, hitting another target with a well-aimed shot, causing the cigarette packs to smoke:
  - Tanks you say!
  The cartoon character and the cartoon hero, deftly avoiding a hefty pulsar fired from a cruiser cannon, confirmed:
  - And tanks too!
  And he added, again twisting the triple barrel roll:
  - A tank also has a soul!
  The little princess nodded:
  "Some bottles here have already started confessing to being combat blasters. I must say, this is extremely practical!"
  And the girl swerved her car to the right. A juicy, three-colored bolt of lightning flashed past. And that's a very serious, destructive substance.
  Or maybe an organ of war?
  Stella, now larger and more mature, stood on the battleship, pressing the joystick buttons with the bare, graceful toes of her marvelously beautiful and elegant feet. The hyperplasmic cuttlefish erupted in a cascade of volcanic eruptions, a truly lethal column.
  It's when a hellish, incredibly powerful hyperplasma flies, heated to quintillions of degrees, that even the devils become afraid.
  The feisty and irresistible Stella chirped, watching the pierced cruiser with packs of expensive and not so expensive cigarettes split apart.
  Here is the general, a pack of Camels, as he gets burned by the super-fire of hyperplasm and begins to torture.
  And his legs start twitching, his voice is so wild and frenzied.
  This is not a bathhouse.
  The terminator girl, who possesses an extraordinary, unique and knock-down power, noted:
  - There are women in our villages,
  They fly a plane jokingly...
  And there is a very wise opinion,
  What a tough woman will kill!
  Green and at the same time fanged Crocodile Gena, quite logically noted, baring his fangs:
  - A woman is not the weaker sex, but the beautiful!
  And at the same time dangerous!
  And he gave the order to develop neighboring planets and build new factories for the bottle-slaves. He said they needed to work as well as drink. Yes, this is strategy, and a colossal, incomparable battle.
  The little princess, having hit another car, sang with pathos:
  - We were born to make a fairy tale come true,
  And all the enemies of the Fatherland - into dust!
  And she added, baring her teeth and singing:
  And the warrior became not afraid of death,
  The hyperplasm of death will not take us-
  The enemy of progress will fight bravely,
  And having discharged the most powerful ray gun!
  And now the cigarettes flare up again like fires and burn like Christmas candles.
  Stella growled in a grin, knocking down the starship with bottles, and causing them to specifically break;
  I understand, I understand, I understand,
  The coolest cartoon friends in the world!
  Crocodile Gena, performing a sweep, growled:
  - We'll definitely destroy the enemies!
  We'll tear you into quarks and photons!
  The golden ball twisted again and performed a double barrel roll on the fighter again and squeaked:
  - The highest form of victory!
  Stella chirped, baring her teeth:
  - Now I'm Cheburashka,
  Every mongrel is my favorite.
  When we meet, he immediately offers his paw!
  Crocodile Gena hissed:
  - I am the best crocodile in the world!
  Here again, the battleships of endless space are burning. And inside them, bottles crash and explode on one side, and cigarettes on the other. They collide and rise, rising like fountains of gigantic, stellar whales.
  The little princess chirped, baring her teeth, which squealed like rocket heads:
  - I am the most powerful space warrior!
  This is a battle that can be said to have generated a wave of colossal, cosmic power.
  Stella, with her bare toes, now fully grown, pressed the joystick buttons. And a hyperplasmic cuttlefish erupted from several barrels at once. And a fiery tornado erupted. And then it struck the battleship along with the bottles, and they exploded, bursting into massive fragments, and spilled into puddles of blazing blue flames along the corridors.
  The lit Martini bottle roars and rings like a bell, and from its throat a fiery stream is ejected like from the mouth of a volcano.
  The bottle rings and breaks.
  The princess girl coos:
  - One, two, three - overclock the processor!
  And winks with her eyes, which have become like emeralds and sparkle with a radiant light.
  The girl stuck out her tongue, which was as long as a whip, and chirped:
  - The hour of reckoning comes at midnight, and your salaries are meager!
  And again the beauty laughed.
  Well, the cartoon characters just started playing around.
  Meanwhile, Crocodile Gena threw his fighter jet aside, spewing streams of hyperplasm. And the green cartoon, acting with increasing swiftness, noted:
  - Gena, Gena, Gena,
  One stage follows another!
  Gena, Gena, Gena, Gena,
  Break out hyperplasma,
  Tenacious paws!
  Cheburashka launched a lethal missile from the cruiser and sang:
  - And with hyperplasma, we"ll get dementia!
  Okay, so everything will be alright. And kids from the distant future create all sorts of things. Including cartoons with space pirates. But space pirates exist in every part of the galaxy. In this case, it's Rat and Veselchak U. Of course, they're flying around in their filibuster starship. And they sing a song, maybe a little dated, but cool in its own way. And pirate cartoons are pretty good, too.
  And the voices of Rat and Merry U are quite good;
  We are glorious pirates -
  Sharks and whales!
  The time for reckoning will come -
  When you're at sea!
  Chorus:
  We play amazingly at sea!
  The layout of the cards is simple - brilliant!
  After all, a cannon salvo is especially convenient,
  And wash down the rum with a loaf of bread, so fluffy and rich -
  May the corsairs' affairs go well!
  
  And if by boarding -
  The cruisers will take us...
  Then the sea guards -
  They'll go to the bottom in an hour!
  
  We play amazingly at sea!
  The layout of the cards is simple - brilliant!
  After all, a cannon salvo is especially convenient,
  And wash down the rum with a loaf of bread, so fluffy and rich -
  
  May the corsairs' affairs go well!
  
  The merchant turned out to be poor -
  Even chests of gold!
  Well, he is so harmful -
  We're scratching our fists!
  
  We play amazingly at sea!

  Stalin-Vladislav, continuing to fight, thought about what the IS-7 would be like against the E-100.
  Dueling IS-7 and E-100 in a tight layout.
  In the twenty-first century, the clash between the IS-7 and the E-100 (in its most compact, "reimagined" configuration with a low silhouette) is considered in the circles of Oleg Rybachenko"s "barefoot strategists" to be a duel between two perfect predators, locked in a narrow corridor of reality.
  In a "tight configuration" (when the E-100 lacks the Maus"s gigantism and is pressed as close to the ground as possible), this battle turns into a steel tango of death.
  1. Comparison of parameters
  IS-7 (Object 260): 68 tons. 130mm S-70. "Pike Nose." The 2026 version features a hull infused with hypermagic plasma.
  E-100 (Adler Project): 140 tons (in a tight configuration). 150mm KwK 44. Frontal armor at extreme angles. This is a "plate" that cannot be driven around.
  2. The course of the duel: "Ricochet Waltz"
  At a distance of 1 km, the E-100 fires a salvo of 150mm concrete-piercing shells. The impact is so powerful that a normal tank would disintegrate into atoms. But the IS-7, driven barefoot by a teenage Rybachenko, makes a microscopic movement with its body. The shell grazes the "pike's nose," creating a stream of turquoise sparks, and disappears into the sky.
  Range 500 meters: The IS-7 closes in at full speed. The E-100's tight configuration makes it a small but difficult target. Oleg can feel the vibration of the German diesel engine through the soil with his bare heels.
  Finale: A 130mm IS-7 shell, accelerated by a magoplasma kick, strikes the joint between the E-100's turret and hull. The tightly packed configuration plays a cruel joke: due to the lack of free space inside, the energy of the explosion instantly annihilates the entire crew and electronics. The E-100 freezes, turning into a red-hot monolith.
  Bottom line: the E-100 is a dangerous opponent in a close-quarters configuration, capable of withstanding a direct hit. But the IS-7 outperforms it thanks to its dynamic invulnerability and aiming speed.
  The winner of the duel is the one who presses the trigger with his bare heel faster.
  The IS-7, due to its "pike nose," has a higher chance of ricocheting than the flat but wide front of the E-100.
  Stalin-Vladislav chuckled. It turned out they'd built such a tough monster in the late 1940s that even the more advanced E-100 couldn't protect against it. Even if the Nazis had done the right thing and tightened up the layout.
  The boy chief stamped his bare, childish, nimble foot.
  True, skeptics might well have questions.
  Could the 150mm E-100 shell have blown off the IS-7 turret with pure impact energy without penetrating it?
  At the beginning of the year, "steel resonance" experts and anion physicists agree on one thing: theoretically, the 150mm "suitcase" from the E-100 is capable of inflicting catastrophic damage without penetration, but the IS-7 was designed specifically as an "anti-sledgehammer."
  This is why it is almost impossible to blow off the IS-7 turret with pure kinetics:
  Hammer energy: A 150mm shell (weighing approximately 40-50 kg) carries tens of megajoules of energy. In a conventional tank, such a blow would shear off the turret ring bolts or jam the turret rotation mechanism.
  Monolithic "Turtle": The IS-7 turret is a single, streamlined casting. Its shape prevents projectiles from "snagging" the armor. The impact energy is not transferred to the hull, but rather dissipated tangentially. The E-100 projectile simply "grazes" the plutonium steel and flies into the stratosphere.
  Barefoot Damping: According to Oleg Rybachenko, the IS-7 survives thanks to its "connection with the soil." When a 150mm shell hits the turret, the barefoot crew inside acts as a living lightning rod. Excess kinetic energy is instantly dissipated into the ground through their bare heels and nano-treads. The tank only shudders slightly, and the turret remains in place.
  Bottom line: Without direct penetration, the E-100 can only "stun" the crew or break the optics, but even the German 150mm gun is not capable of ripping off the 25-ton IS-7 turret, grounded with plutonium fusion.
  CHAPTER No 20.
  Of course, the witch Akulina Orlova also makes things up, and she can see into the truly distant future-a super-witch. And she types on a typewriter with her bare toes.
  Snoke is a beautiful warrior girl with a boy
  Kylo and Darth Vader continued to battle a squad of members of the Huth galactic mafia. All three warriors were proficient in the Force and used lightsabers.
  Two boys and a girl also snapped their bare toes and sent lightning bolts at their opponents. And all sorts of ugly creatures melted, smoked, and exploded.
  Snoke, this beautiful warrior girl, kicked the destructive pulsar with her bare heel and sang:
  You don't have to be an orator,
  To explain at length...
  In the name of the Emperor,
  Kill the evil hathas!
  Darth Vader kicked one of the monsters in the chin with his bare, childish heel and squealed:
  - May the force be with us!
  The triumvirate worked. From time to time, Skoke would unleash bolts of force.
  The three of them worked well together. But then the enemy launched boarding tanks at them. Three vehicles, protected by force fields, tried to kill the Sith with laser beams. Then the two boys and the girl jumped back. Then Snoke shouted and angrily stamped her bare, graceful foot:
  "It's time you boys learned how to use Force lightning too! You claim to be seasoned Sith, but you still haven't learned how to do it!"
  Kylo exclaimed:
  - Why not? I can do it like this!
  And the boy released lightning from his bare toes. Darth Vader also fell backward, and deadly bolts of lightning began to shoot from the boy's bare feet. And then the three Sith began pounding the boarding tanks. They concentrated their fire on one at first. The protective field burst from overload, and the boarding tank exploded. Then they switched to the other tank. And it, too, was hit by the combined attack without further delay, and exploded without resistance. The third boarding tank tried to escape; it was apparently controlled by the Hutt's belly. But it was struck by lethal lightning, and it, too, couldn't withstand it and exploded. Or rather, it burst into flames of all the colors of the rainbow. And it was truly a cruel and aggressive attack.
  Snoke noted:
  "There you go! Finally, under stress, you've developed some superpowers beyond what you had! And the ability to unleash Force lightning is a sign of a highly skilled Sith!"
  Darth Vader replied:
  "You can't really fire Force lightning with prosthetics instead of arms. Damn Obi-Wan, he took away a significant part of my body!"
  Kylo noted:
  "Yes, I was luckier in that regard! But I lost to Princess Rey when she had no experience or training in wielding a lightsaber. And that's extremely frustrating! I still can't forgive myself for it!"
  Darth Vader, this barefoot boy in shorts confirmed:
  "And I can't forgive myself for losing to Obi-Wan. I always considered myself a stronger fighter than he was, and even more so in terms of talent!"
  Snoke asked sullenly:
  - What about Luke Scaoker? I think you lost to him too!
  The boy lord replied, stamping his bare, childish foot in annoyance:
  "I was a cripple back then, with a half-artificial body. But when I fought Obi-Wan, I was young, full of strength and energy. Only one hand was artificial. Otherwise, I was a fighting man. And I shouldn't have lost! On the contrary, I should have won!"
  And the triumvirate began working to finish off the Hutts. And the mafia in the empire cannot be tolerated; it must be destroyed.
  And then another boy appeared. He was barefoot and wearing shorts, and quite handsome, with light red hair. Snoke, the most experienced of all the Sith, or the most involved in the dark side of the Force, exclaimed:
  - You're Darth Maul! You look so much nicer and more human than you did fifty years ago!
  The Hit boy, Darth Maul, exclaimed, spinning two swords at once and cutting down the Hutts, his bare, childish heels flashing:
  "Yes, I've returned from the world of darkness! And how wonderful it is to be in the flesh. The number four is more stable than three, and we now form a quartet serving the Emperor!"
  Darth Vader remarked:
  "You and I were both defeated by Obi-Wan Kenobi! Hearts demand vengeance-vengeance demands sacrifice!"
  Boy Mol exclaimed:
  "I practically defeated him! He tricked me into taking him! And if he's still alive, I won't just kill him, I'll brutally torture and torment him!"
  Kylo noted:
  - Don't get carried away! How often has this very thing let us down - excessive verbosity!
  Snoke muttered:
  "And you betrayed your teacher and destroyed my former physical shell! And if I still haven't taken revenge on you, do you know why?"
  The Sith boy replied:
  - Because you didn"t like the old flesh, and the new one is better?
  The Sith girl objected:
  "No! Because you didn't kill me because you'd gone over to the light side, you simply wanted to take my place. And that's perfectly natural for a Sith and the dark side of the Force!"
  Darth Maul noted:
  - Yes, it's natural selection. Its drawback is that there have always been fewer of us Sith than Jedi.
  Darth Vader exclaimed:
  - But we surpassed them in quality!
  Kylo said with a sigh:
  "I wouldn't say so! The dark side of the force is powerful, especially in its destruction, but the light side has its advantages-mutual trust!"
  Three boys and a girl, their bare feet slapping, broke into a run. They began furiously attacking another squad of Hutts and Separatists. Some of the opposing fighters resembled gorillas with the bodies of strawberries, or a cross between a banana and a dog. That was the devastating effect of lightsabers.
  Moreover, the Sith boys not only chopped with lightsabers, but also released force lightning from the bare toes of their nimble, childish feet.
  And they charred various alien fighters. In particular, imagine creatures shaped like a cross between a parrot and a potato, or a corn cob and a cockroach. Yet, against their backdrop, three boys and a girl look quite human.
  Young men in nothing but shorts. But how beautiful the boys' naked torsos are, with their defined, slab-like muscles. They have magnificent bodies, and being half-naked suits them very well.
  And Snoke the girl in a bikini is so amazing and cool. She also has very defined muscles and abs, and with bright blonde hair and chocolate-colored skin.
  Yes, the Sith girl's hair is so curly and like the flame of an Olympic torch.
  And so this quartet is on the offensive. They slash with lightsabers, and unleash lightning bolts and fiery, deadly pulsars from their bare toes. And they literally tear apart the countless host of galactic mafia, rebels, separatists, and even mercenaries from the neighboring galaxy.
  Combat robots also join the fight. Some of the cyborgs are lightweight, armed with beam blasters, while others are heavier and more massive.
  The Sith triumvirate deflects laser beams with the help of light beams, as well as special fields created by the energy emitted by the bare feet of boys and girls.
  And it's a veritable battering ram of magic, magoplasm, and force energy. And it turns out it's not just the magochlorians who create it. They're in the process, but they're far from the most important thing. The level of mental perception contributes greatly.
  Emperor Palpatine, while in spirit form outside of his body, became so organized that he was able to return. Twice, in fact. Force lightning only destroyed his corporeal shell. But try to destroy such a highly organized Sith spirit. It's a very difficult task.
  Although it may not be entirely impossible, for Jedi of the highest level.
  Snoke noticed, exclaiming:
  - Let's focus a little, we're sticking too close together!
  Three Sith boys, their bare heels sparkling-they were pink and didn't show dirt-expanded the front. This time, the guard tanks didn't look so terrifying. The child monsters not only hacked at them with swords, but also sent deadly bolts of lightning. They knocked them right out of their bare toes.
  Darth Vader recalled running barefoot across the scorching sand of Tatooine, with its double star. The daytime heat there is infernal. And a child's bare feet are scorched to the bone. The boy inventor created a special solution that he used to lubricate the soles of his own and his barefoot mother's feet to alleviate the heat.
  And then the touch of hot sand for the child"s soles was not so painful.
  The boy Vader leaped and performed a five-fold somersault. He moved swiftly, displaying remarkable feats. While he was fighting all sorts of hideous creatures and non-humans, his conscience was at peace. But when he remembered killing children-both human and alien-he felt a deep pang of bitterness. It was wrong to kill and harm children; criminals considered it a disgrace!
  The boy jumped up, twisted around, and suddenly he went and slammed his bare soles into the chests of some creatures that looked like an old alarm clock with legs and paws.
  Kylo noted with a sweet look:
  - Wow!
  And the boy also started kicking with his bare, nimble feet.
  Young Maul fights too. After his long stay in Hell, he's especially angry, and his lightsabers slash like helicopter blades.
  The Sith boy is extremely aggressive. He, too, has his own history. He's not human, unlike Kylo and Darth Vader, although his civilization is humanoid. And he, too, has had trials in life, though he didn't live very long. And now he's in human flesh.
  Palpatine was human, but Force lightning had disfigured him, making him less human.
  But when Maul met him, the senator was apprenticed to Plagueis the Wise, a powerful but hidden Sith. Plagueis wasn't human, but belonged to a humanoid species. He experimented with magochlorians, and Anakin Skywalker was most likely his creation.
  It was Plagueis and, a little later, Palpatine who trained him primarily. Then something happened. Obi-Wan, through cunning, cut Maul's body in half, and he fell into the shaft. And the flesh perished. And then Palpatine finished off Plagueis. Indeed, there were now three Sith. Palpatine then didn't train his apprentice from scratch, but contacted Count Duko. He was an experienced and renowned Jedi, but with excessive ambition and vanity, which Palpatine, now Chancellor of the Great Republic, took advantage of.
  Such were the cunning intrigues at play here. Palpatine had calculated everything: a civil war engulfing the Republic would make him dictator, and the senators themselves, to end the chaos and stem the tide, would grant him emergency powers. And his calculation paid off!
  Indeed, the chaos and chaos of the civil war had become so tiring that the Senate eventually happily voted to establish an empire. And Palpatine became emperor.
  His next plans were expansion beyond the galaxy. But to achieve this, he needed to create a new, superdrive capable of hyperlight speeds. And work on it was underway.
  What does the emperor want in the body of a beautiful clone girl?
  The question is very rhetorical.
  Snoke slashed and swung her swords. They spun rapidly. It looked quite beautiful. The barefoot girl was aggressively attacking. She was tanned, and her body glistened with sweat, as if oiled. Now that was a really, really cool girl.
  And then she jumps up and spins seven times. And with her bare heels, she slams into the massive cybernetic tank. The concussion causes it to flip over.
  The Sith girl exclaimed:
  - To the greatness of the dark side of the force! Let's all turn it on at once!
  The warrior really is cool. And with her bare toes, she can just launch a pulsar. And take out a whole bunch of Hutts at once.
  This is a girl of super and hyper level.
  Snoke was a member of an alien race. She herself spent some time in the galactic mafia, fighting in the Republic Civil War on the side of Count Dooku. But when Emperor Palpatine ascended to the throne, Snoke was reluctant to join his service. Furthermore, Darth Sidious would not tolerate another highly advanced Sith near him, seeing him as a dangerous rival. He would certainly have killed her. So Snoke fled to another galaxy.
  There she formed her own gang and engaged in space robbery.
  She managed to plunder enormous fortunes.
  It was only after the collapse of the Empire, when the Second Republic was reborn, that she decided to return. And she assembled her order. She had colossal plans, including the creation of her own empire, first in this galaxy and then beyond.
  They also managed to create a new weapon that sucked out the energy of stars and could destroy many planets at once.
  Snoke knew no mercy. She acted with great energy.
  She acquired an apprentice, Kylo, Darth Vader's grandson, who also possessed the same ambition as his father.
  In any case, this Sith girl has now returned to the Emperor's control and has a body. And she uses it to hack and attack.
  Kylo, being a barefoot boy in shorts and chopping down Hutts, noted:
  - Strange as it may seem, my grandfather is here with me! But he's just a boy, just like me!
  The boy Vader responded, cutting down the still pressing Hutts, mercenaries, and rebels with the Separatists:
  - Well, grandson! I see you still haven't gotten any smarter! And yet Palpatine promised you the Emperor's throne!
  The Sith boy responded by chopping up a couple of potato roaches:
  - Promises and trinkets are a fool's joy! No, Emperor Palpatine wanted to rule solely for himself!
  The boy Darth Maul, cutting down his enemies, noted:
  "But I never aspired to a role greater than that of the brilliant second! Indeed, being the emperor of a space empire is a huge responsibility!"
  Snoke exclaimed:
  - But I'm not afraid of responsibility!
  And the Sith girl, with her bare toes, will take and throw out destructive pulsars of deadly force.
  Kylo remarked with a sweet look, continuing to cut down the Hutts:
  - It seems like we're missing someone here...
  Darth Vader confirmed:
  - Count Duko! But we were enemies! And he chopped off my hand! So there can be no friendship between us!
  The three boys and the girl continued on. All around lay scraps of metal and charred corpses. Various pieces of rebar were also scattered. Lakes of molten metal boiled. Such a terrifying sight. And in the distance, a castle, with skulls glimmering ominously.
  
  Snoke noted:
  - This is their gangster nest! Come on, guys, let's push it some more!
  The warrior quartet picked up the pace and fought with fury.
  The clone girls who landed on the ship also entered the battle.
  How beautiful these warrior girls are. It's a very wise idea to create clones in the form of the fair sex.
  It's true, when rows of girls with bright hairstyles resemble a flower greenhouse. And they fight even better than the men.
  Kylo noted with a sweet smile:
  - This is truly the fair sex!
  And the boy, from both heels of his childish feet, immediately sent out pulsars of colossal destructive power. They crashed down on a large tank, resembling an ancient "Maus," which immediately burst into flames.
  The Sith boy Darth noted:
  - A very good attempt!
  And he'll also charge his feet barefoot with a pulsar. He really is a tough fighter!
  The Sithl Maul boy squeaked:
  - Hyperpulsar!
  The young warriors are on the offensive. And they're not intimidated by a battle robot the size of a seven-story building that's coming out to meet the young Sith battle team.
  Snoke fights desperately and she commands:
  - Lightning bolts of power, hit him on the tracks!
  And then three boys and a girl jump up and unleash deadly, truly destructive bolts of lightning from their bare children's soles. They strike the monster's treads. And it begins to burst and fall face down. And several laser cannons, like those on the powerful, mastodon-like combat robot, break down and melt.
  The Sith boy Vader exclaimed:
  - Hurray for our emperor!
  And once again, the bare toes took and threw powerful and deadly pulsars. And they began to kill and crush the Hutts. That's how deadly it became.
  The Sith boy Maul was also a very combative and aggressive child Terminator. And he showed off his killer skills.
  The Sith boy Kylo exclaimed and began to slash, chopping off the heads of various aliens. That was awesome, and the monster children were working, in the art of war. It was quite an event. And these young warriors-so agile and energetic. It wasn't easy to deal with them.
  And most importantly, they have a dark side of the force that thrives on destruction and devastation.
  And the boys move on, tightening the circle. Their naked torsos are so sculpted with muscles that they seem cast in bronze, swaying as they move like ripples on water.
  The Sith boy Maul exclaims:
  - For the Motherland, and for Darth Sidious!
  That's how aggressive the company has become. And this isn't the 20th century on planet Earth. This is the space age. Although the quality of human resources played the greatest role during World War II, when legendary warriors emerged who were worth entire divisions.
  But those like Darth Vader are a whole cosmic army. And they struck the castle walls with Force lightning. And a web of fire enveloped the barrels of the laser cannons. They began to smoke and melt. And at the same time, the combat kit exploded.
  And there was a rumble and whole mushrooms appeared from the exploding nuclear warhead.
  The boys and the girl were even shaken quite a bit and knocked off their feet.
  They fell on their backs and began kicking their bare, pink soles.
  Then the handsome Sith jumped up. And again, they unleashed lightning bolts, and then flew into the air. That was really cool. They really did set everything on fire, and literally tore their enemies apart.
  Darth Vader exclaimed:
  - Ultra, hyper power!
  Kylo agreed with this completely, his childish, sharpened leg emitting a deadly pulsar:
  - With us there will be a great victory!
  Boy Mol muttered:
  - The size of a quasar!
  And they, too, unleashed a cascade of murderous, unique annihilation on their opponents! Those were truly superboys. And the girl with them was simply superb. What a fighting team they were.
  Snoke noted, cutting down the alien mercenaries jumping out of the cracks:
  "I'm the only one of you who's older than Palpatine. And Kylo is a puppy compared to me!"
  The Sith boy took offense and stamped his childish, bare, tanned foot:
  - Take it easy with such expressions!
  The Sith girl growled:
  - Do you want to kill me? You already tried once!
  Kylo grunted and remarked:
  "Princess Rey is something special! She's not exactly a beauty, but there's something so unique and charming about her!"
  Snoke replied with a baring of her girlish fangs:
  - Not only did her grandfather have the most terrible Sith in history, but her mother was the daughter of Darth Vader!
  Boy Vader was surprised:
  - And what, I also had a daughter?
  The Sith girl nodded:
  - Of course! But didn't such a handsome young man as you once were, both strong and temperamental, sleep with girls?
  Darth Vader nodded:
  - Of course it was! You can't fight nature! A young, healthy body demands a girl's flesh!
  Kylo exclaimed:
  - So we share the same blood! That's why I felt a brotherly feeling from the very beginning!
  Snoke remarked harshly:
  - But you killed your father! And then you almost killed your mother!
  The Sith boy growled:
  - It was a necessary sacrifice to the dark side of the force!
  The Sith quartet took to the air again and unleashed a hurricane-like cascade of Force lightning at the enemy. They're so aggressive, and the harsh impact of black energy really helps.
  And several teeth of the lock broke off and fell down. And they fell on the armored plate, broke through it, and burst into flames.
  The Sith boy Maul jumped up and squeaked:
  - What a cock-a-doodle-doo!
  And the child-terminator's eyes sparkled. Now this was truly a fighter of the highest order.
  Although all three boys are very worthy. And Darth Vader was especially special. And it's so wonderful when your powerful spirit is in a child's body. You feel the energy literally flowing within you.
  It's so great to have superpowers. And you're such a young and unique fighter. Although there are some similarities with the other fighters. And their quartet works really poorly. Entering the castle itself is dangerous. It's full of all sorts of tricky traps. But destroying it from a distance-that's awesome and cool!
  And they hit this fortress with death rays, and force lightning, and pulsars.
  And at the same time, the Sith girl Snoke began to emit holograms. And it looked quite beautiful. And these holograms took the form of girls in bikinis. Very beautiful girls indeed. With lush hair of various colors.
  And unlike the regular clones representing the fair sex, the hologram girls were wearing a variety of jewelry and valuables. How cool was it all?
  Darth Vader noted in annoyance:
  - Damn Obi Wan! He took away my joy of loving girls! And they are so beautiful!
  The Sith boy Kylo, firing at the castle, chirped:
  Girls come in different forms,
  White, blue, red...
  And everyone wants it equally,
  To be or not to be a blind prophetess!
  The Sith boy Maul objected:
  - No! The gift of prophecy is one of the most valuable, for both the Sith and the Jedi. But the future is hazy! And if I'd known where I'd fall, I'd have laid down some straw!
  The Sith girl Snoke exclaimed:
  "Yes, this is our great task! To find a gift for ourselves, to acquire something valuable! There's no point in giving in to our enemies or showing weakness!"
  The quartet fired at the castle some more. The guns stationed on this citadel fell silent. The twisted and warped remains of their barrels could be seen smoking.
  And all sorts of creatures began circling. This time, they tried to attack the Sith quartet from the air. And then the rat mosquitoes came first. These are very nasty-looking and quite large creatures. And they try to dive-bomb the young team in a swift attack.
  But the three boys and the girl jumped up and, with their bare toes, unleashed a bolt of lightning with deadly force, and a fiery web entangled these winged, rather ugly creatures. This is truly a destructive effect of colossal power.
  And it was as if they were rat mosquitoes that flew into the torch.
  Snoke laughed and sang:
  One, two, three,
  Bald devil die!
  Four, eight, five -
  Kill the Orcs!
  They're such funny and, let's just say, amazing fighters here, and there's no one cooler than them. Maybe some Jedi who've also become boys will show off their incredible skills!
  Darth Vader noted:
  - We remind you that the anti-aircraft batteries are incredibly powerful!
  Kylo added with a smile:
  Computer games were really popular back in the day! And they actually had laser anti-aircraft guns that could easily shoot down even nuclear-armed planes. That was truly amazing!
  Singh Boy Mol added:
  - You could say it's hyperquasaric!
  And the young team added to the cacophony. Following the rat-mosquitoes, mole bees also went on the attack. They are also quite dangerous hybrids.
  And the clash with lightning bolts of force was even bloodier and more fierce. It truly was a battle of titans.
  Snoke noted, stepping back slightly to gather her strength and hitting the enemy even harder:
  - Our strength will only grow!
  Darth Vader hissed, releasing lightning from the childish soles of his boyish feet:
  One, two, three,
  Tear the bald guy!
  Four, eight, five,
  Kill the bears!
  So their quartet worked very hard. And it really did work. And it was a demonstration of colossal and unique strength.
  The boy Kylo sang enthusiastically:
  This means living beautifully,
  This means living with dignity...
  Our heroic strength,
  Strength of spirit and willpower!
  CHAPTER No 21.
  The Jedi boy and girl, Anakin and Azalea, were forced to fight again.
  This time their opponent was a cross between a bat and a tiger.
  A boy and a girl padded into the arena, barefoot. They held swords not made of light, but of a very strong metal, sharpened to a fine point.
  Plus, the children's left arm was covered with shin guards. Their opponent, however, was as big as an Ussuri tiger, with a body and three tails, huge bat-like wings, and distinctive locator ears. And his paw wasn't exactly a tiger's either-it held a hefty axe.
  And he pounces mid-flight, plunging down on the young Jedi. The children leap away from all sides. Their bare, tanned legs flash by.
  The flying tiger descends and tries to hook the boy with its axe. The child jumps up and slashes at the monster's tendon. The creature winces at the blow, and poisonous green blood drips.
  But the axe is still in her hands. Azalea exclaims:
  - Don't rush! Let's wear him out! We'll also work for the crowd!
  Anakin agreed with this:
  - We'll be fighting guys! We'll crush everyone and chop them into pieces!
  And the young warriors began to jump and spin, their sharp swords constantly scratching the mouse tiger's wings. And it was a very clever move.
  Azalea chirped:
  We are racing in a circle, frisky horses,
  In this battle, the queens of the fields...
  Let's be honest - they won't catch us.
  Kill the lousy monster!
  Anakin jumped back too and cooed:
  May the Lord help us,
  He is with us in spirit forever...
  Our flesh is young,
  We are not human for nothing!
  And the children continued to fight and claw, stabbing their opponents with their swords, and even occasionally striking with their bare feet. Launching force pulses at a monster is dangerous; it's better to conceal your skill.
  Anakin fights, but at the same time, he thinks that being small actually gives you a big advantage. If, during World War II, instead of the Maus, the Nazis had made the E-10 self-propelled gun, just one meter tall, it would have been a supermachine. And you'd be hard-pressed to hit it. Hitler, in particular, underestimated its capabilities. And for some reason, he was fascinated by Maus tanks, even though a tank with a low silhouette is much more practical than a tall one.
  The Jedi boy even found it funny. And it occurred to him that Palpatine and Hitler had a lot in common. The same fervent desire for absolute power, the same thirst for territorial conquest and expansion. And such pathological cruelty. Yes, this Hitler was a tough guy, though in another way he was also a bad guy. He could have conquered the entire world, but he poisoned himself with rat poison.
  Incidentally, I wonder if Emperor Palpatine could extract Hitler's soul from Hell and infuse it into a clone? Adolf died a long time ago. And it's clear that bringing him back into the series will be more difficult.
  Azalea, sensing his thoughts, noted:
  - Well, even if a scumbag like Hitler comes back, we'll still defeat him! Because good always triumphs over evil!
  Anakin responded:
  - Not always! And Palpatine was able to defeat Master Yoda!
  The girl sang in response:
  You know very well yourself,
  Without much hint...
  That good is stronger than evil,
  In reality and in a fairy tale!
  The Jedi boy remarked:
  But Genghis Khan, the embodiment of universal evil, remained invincible! No one broke his back!
  Azalea responded by slashing at the monster's wing again.
  - But he lost morally and his empire fell apart!
  The children continued hacking at the tiger mouse. Having lost a lot of blood, it was already slowing down. And after another powerful blow from the boy, the monster dropped the axe.
  And then Jabba the Hutt gave the signal to stop the fight. Apparently, he wanted to save this beast.
  The kids were dragged away with lassos, but they were each given a prize. Now that was a real fight. The prize was modest, a bag of candy each. It was real chocolate, though, not synthetic-at least thank you for that. The fight, while not short, was fairly easy, and the kids weren't even scratched.
  After which Anakin and Azalea sat down in the chair. The two children fit comfortably. The boy reached for the candy, but the girl noticed:
  - Aren't you afraid that we might be poisoned?
  Anakin countered:
  "We're small, but we're great fighters! Killing us is like slaughtering a goose that lays golden eggs! Jabba is a practical man and loves money!"
  Azalea nodded:
  - Okay, you've convinced me! But I'm still a little hungry.
  And the children began to eat the chocolates with honey with pleasure and slowly savoring them.
  And the gladiatorial combats continued. One of them involved a legged cobra and a grasshopper in a turtle shell. When aliens fight, it's truly quite interesting.
  Azalea noticed with a sigh.
  - It's hard to believe, but people were once confined to one planet. And it was quite cramped!
  Anakin nodded in agreement:
  - Yes, that's right! And that's why they were constantly at war! There were Napoleon and Tamerlane back then, and many others. And they fought bloody battles, at high speeds, although not on a cosmic scale!
  The Jedi Girl noted:
  - True! That's the tragedy: people are never satisfied with what they have and want more! And that leads to wars and destruction!
  The Jedi boy objected:
  - But it is precisely this dissatisfaction with what exists that drives the development of scientific and technological progress, and... By the way, progress under the republic actually slowed down, and it was the empire that spurred it on!
  Azalea noted with a smile:
  - What an ugly spur! However, better this way than nothing!
  The children continued to watch the battle. Meanwhile, Anakin attempted to tune a telepathic wave to read the thoughts of various members of the mafia clans.
  Here's one of them, resembling a hybrid of a hippopotamus standing on two legs but with the large ears of an elephant, secretly dallied with imperial agents. Clearly, the mafia can't stand up to the star fleet. But Palpatine's regime is a totalitarian one and doesn't tolerate competition for power and resources. So, it seems they'll have to either ally with the rebels and separatists or try to negotiate with the treacherous empire. But the latter option has poor prospects, as the galactic mafia will either be completely crushed or forced into the totalitarian system.
  The outlook for the bandits is bleak. It must be said that Emperor Palpatine was partly right: good and evil are relative concepts.
  And it wasn't just the bad things about the empire the Sith built. For example, crime was eradicated, order was established, and security was increased. And industry developed, and improved. When the entire galaxy functions as a single mechanism, it's easier to increase production according to plan.
  So here the rebels may not be right in everything.
  If you don't count some excesses, like the destruction of the entire planet Aldebaran with a shot from the Death Star, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad in the empire.
  Even Anakin, being a smart boy, wondered if their resistance was in vain. After all, perhaps it would be better if there was a single authority over the entire galaxy, rather than the grinding away of resources in various wars and internecine strife.
  But were republics truly perfect? Nothing is perfect. In the past, planet Earth was home to many states. There were various conquerors vying for world dominion. Perhaps the first to seek to conquer the entire inhabited world was the Persian king Xerxes, who attacked Greece with a massive army.
  True, the Greeks' estimates of his army's size at 1,700,000 are greatly exaggerated. But it was still quite large. Xerxes, having conquered Greece, wanted to move on to Rome and Carthage. Although Rome was not yet a powerful state, Carthage was already strong. So, all the way to the Pillars of Hercules, and perhaps even to Gaul, which did not yet have its own state. And to the east, to India and China. But Xerxes' plans were thwarted by stubborn Greek resistance.
  Then came Alexander the Great. But he didn't even live to be thirty-three, even though he had great potential. The Arab Caliphate was also a powerful empire, but it collapsed, as was the Empire of Genghis Khan. The latter was the most extensive of the continental empires. Had Genghis Khan been immortal, he would have conquered the entire world. The Ottoman Empire was also vast, as was the Spanish Empire... Napoleon conquered Europe... And the most extensive empire in human history was the British Empire, which stretched from pole to pole. And the sun never set on it. Both Hitler and Stalin had a purely mathematical chance of world domination. But Hitler lost, and Stalin died.
  If the United States had not created the atomic bomb and Stalin had lived to be ninety, would the USSR have started World War III against the West?
  This is one of the most controversial questions in historical futurology. To answer it, we must consider not only Stalin's character but also the actual state of the USSR's economy and military by the 1950s.
  Most historians agree that a full-scale hot war was unlikely, and here's why:
  1. "Nuclear bluff" factor
  If the US hadn't developed the bomb, the USSR wouldn't have had the incentive to push its nuclear program at such a rapid pace. However, this doesn't mean Stalin would have thrown tanks into the English Channel. By 1945, the USSR was exhausted:
  Demographic catastrophe (loss of millions of men of working age).
  The destroyed European part of the country.
  The population is incredibly tired of the war.
  2. Stalin's Strategy: "Peace through Expansion of Influence"
  Stalin was an extremely cautious politician (a pragmatist, not an adventurer). His tactics did not involve direct aggression against the United States, but rather:
  Creation of a "buffer zone" in Eastern Europe.
  Support for communist movements within Western countries (France, Italy).
  Local conflicts at the hands of others (as in Korea).
  Had he lived to be 90 (before 1968), he would most likely have continued the policy of "cold attrition", waiting for an economic crisis in the West, rather than engaging in direct conflict.
  3. Why the war could start (risks)
  A third world war could only have broken out in the event of a fatal mistake or excessive confidence in the superiority of conventional weapons:
  Tank Fist: Without nuclear deterrence, Soviet tank armies in Germany enjoyed absolute numerical superiority. The temptation to "liberate" Europe in two weeks was great.
  Conventional arms race: Huge military expenditures could eventually lead to a situation of "either we fight or the economy collapses."
  4. Internal factor
  By the early 1950s, Stalin's entourage (Beria, Khrushchev, Malenkov) already understood that the country could not withstand another major war. Stalin's long life could lead not to external aggression, but to profound internal stagnation and increased repression, which would further weaken the country's military potential.
  Bottom line: Without the US atomic bomb, the world would have been far more unstable, but Stalin valued his power and the results he had achieved too much to risk everything on another global war. We would likely have seen a protracted trench war in Asia and Europe without a decisive blow.
  Want to see what the map of Europe might have looked like if the "tank rush" had actually taken place in 1948 (Operation Unthinkable in reverse)?
  The arena battles were a mixed bag. The children hadn't been called upon yet, and Anakin had the opportunity to consider alternative paths for humanity's development in the distant past, when all of humanity was still confined to a single planet.
  But wasn't that why Stalin built a huge fleet, to conquer the USA?
  The idea that Stalin built a navy specifically to conquer the United States is a popular, but historically inaccurate, oversimplification. The "Large Sea and Ocean Fleet" program did exist, but its goals were different.
  This is why the fleet was not intended to land in America:
  Defensive concept ("Sea Fortress"):
  The primary mission of the Sovetsky Soyuz-class battleships and heavy cruisers was to prevent enemy fleets from reaching the USSR's coast. Stalin was terrified of a Western Allied landing in Crimea or the North (remembering the 1918-1922 intervention). The fleet was intended to serve as mobile coastal artillery.
  Technical impossibility of capturing the USA:
  Conquering the United States required not only battleships, but also a colossal amphibious fleet and, most importantly, aircraft carriers. At that time, the USSR didn't have a single aircraft carrier, even in a feasible design. Without air superiority in the mid-Atlantic, any fleet would have been sunk by American carrier-based aircraft long before reaching New York.
  Superpower status:
  For Stalin, powerful ships were a matter of prestige. He believed that a great power could not be considered such without heavy ships on the ocean. They were a tool of diplomacy and "showing the flag," not a true instrument of transoceanic aggression.
  Ground forces priority:
  Stalin was a land-based strategist. He understood that the USSR's strength lay in its tank armies. Naval construction consumed enormous resources that could have been devoted to aviation and armored vehicles. That's why, after his death, Khrushchev almost immediately scrapped the unfinished battleships and cruisers, deeming them useless in the nuclear age.
  Bottom line: Stalin wanted a fleet that would force the West to respect and fear the USSR's borders, but he was pragmatic enough to understand that sailing to Washington and capturing it with the Red Navy in the 1950s was physically impossible.
  Want to understand the parameters of the battleship Sovetsky Soyuz, the most ambitious and expensive ship of Stalin's program, which was never completed?
  Anakin chuckled and sang:
  - Stalin is military glory,
  Stalin of our youth, the flight...
  Fighting and winning with song,
  Our people follow Stalin!
  Azalea whispered:
  - If you want to sing, sing to yourself! Otherwise, you'll attract too much unwanted attention!
  The Jedi boy fell silent, and they began to recall the glorious past again:
  After the Great Patriotic War, the USSR had a high population growth rate. Could Stalin have decided to go to war in the sixties if by that time the USA did not yet have a significant number of nuclear weapons?
  This is an extremely interesting alternative history scenario. To understand whether Stalin would have decided to go to war in the 1960s, we need to compare his demographic resources, military technology, and personal strategy.
  Here are the main factors that would determine the reality of such a war:
  1. Demographic factor: "Golden generation"
  You're right, after the war, the USSR saw a compensatory rise in the birth rate. By the mid-1960s, the generation born in the late 1940s would have reached conscription age.
  Resource: These are millions of young people who did not know the horrors of 1941 personally, but were raised on the cult of victory.
  Problem: Even with high population growth, the USSR lost approximately 27 million people in WWII, a large number of whom were men of reproductive age. The demographic decline was still evident. Stalin, a pragmatist, understood that another all-out war could completely undermine the nation's gene pool.
  2. Technological dead end without nuclear weapons
  Without a nuclear baton, the war becomes an endless battle of attrition, similar to World War II, but with jet aircraft and missiles.
  The Logistics Trap: The Soviet Army could have conquered Europe in a matter of weeks (the Soviet tank force in the 1960s was perfect-the T-54/55 and T-62 tanks were superior to their Western counterparts). But how to conquer the United States?
  Without naval supremacy and a powerful amphibious fleet (which the USSR lacked), the war would have reached a stalemate on the shores of the Atlantic. Stalin disliked wars that could not be ended with a decisive victory on land.
  3. Economy vs. Ideology
  By the 1960s, the USSR's economy would have begun to require reform. Stalin's model favored mobilization, but the prolonged maintenance of a 5-million-strong army (necessary for aggression against the West) drained resources.
  Had Stalin lived to be 90, he would have faced the same choice as his successors: either feed the people and build housing, or endlessly build up power for a hypothetical attack.
  4. The character of the "late" Stalin
  Historians note that by the early 1950s, Stalin had become even more suspicious and cautious.
  His strategy in the Korean War (1950-1953) showed that he was willing to support conflicts through proxy means, but was terrified of a direct clash with the United States, which could escalate into an uncontrollable conflict.
  In the 1960s, an 85-90 year-old Stalin would most likely have been focused on maintaining his power within the country and strengthening the "socialist camp" rather than on an adventurous campaign overseas.
  Result
  Most likely, World War III in the 1960s would not have begun on the initiative of the USSR, even with a surplus of soldiers. Stalin would have built "Fortress USSR," isolated from the world, and awaited the internal collapse of capitalism. War would only have been possible if the West had decided to launch a preemptive strike, feeling threatened by Soviet demographic and armored superiority.
  Do you think Stalin's USSR could have won the economic race with the West in the 1960s without the transition to the "thaw" and reforms?
  Anakin chirped:
  - I think that totalitarianism is more effective than chaos!
  Azalea objected:
  - Democracy will defeat fascism anyway!
  Anakin ate a chocolate candy.
  And he continued his reasoning!
  Do you think Stalin's USSR could have won the economic race with the West in the 1960s without the transition to the "thaw" and reforms?
  Do you think Stalin's USSR could have won the economic race with the West in the 1960s without the transition to the "thaw" and reforms?
  Most likely not. Stalin's economic model was the ideal tool for "breakthrough" and survival in a total war, but it had critical flaws for peaceful competition during the scientific and technological revolution of the 1960s.
  Here are the main reasons why winning the race was unlikely:
  1. The problem of "shaft" versus quality
  Stalin's system was extensive: it focused on quantity (tons of pig iron, kilometers of rolled steel, tanks). By the 1960s, the world had transitioned to intensive growth-in microelectronics, chemistry, and precision instruments.
  A centrally planned system could not effectively manage millions of small innovations.
  Without market incentives or at least decentralization (the "thaw"), factories would continue to pump out outdated output, ignoring technological progress.
  2. Depletion of human resources
  Stalin's growth was based on the transfer of millions of people from the countryside to the city and their dedicated (and often forced) labor.
  By the 1960s, the supply of "cheap hands" from the villages began to dry up.
  To grow further, productivity had to be increased through worker comfort and motivation. The Stalinist model, with its strict discipline and prioritization of heavy industry over consumption, could not offer people a standard of living comparable to that of Western "consumer society."
  3. Technological insulation
  The West made a giant leap in the 1960s thanks to global trade and the exchange of ideas.
  Stalin's course towards autarky (self-sufficiency) and isolation doomed the USSR to constant "catch-up".
  In the context of the eternal search for "enemies of the people" among scientists (as was the case with genetics and cybernetics), breakthrough industries would simply be suppressed by ideology.
  Result
  The USSR would have remained a superpower with a powerful army, but economically, it would have turned into a gigantic "military factory," churning out ever-increasing weapons while the population lived in shortages. Winning the race with the flexible, innovative West under such conditions would have been physically impossible-the system would have simply ossified.
  Do you think that Beria, if he had retained power, would have been able to carry out the "Chinese version" of reforms (a market under KGB control) back in the 1950s and thereby save the system?
  But weren't the best tanks, airplanes, and many other things in the world made under Stalin, even Lebedev's computers?
  You're absolutely right: the Stalinist system was a champion at concentrating resources on breakthrough areas. When the state set the goal of "making the best weapons in the world," it often achieved it.
  However, here lies the main paradox of that era:
  1. The "Peaks" Phenomenon (Tanks and Airplanes)
  The USSR really did create masterpieces:
  Tanks: The T-34 and IS-2 were the benchmarks of their time in terms of the combination of firepower and armor.
  Aviation: La-7 and Yak-3 were not inferior to the best Western fighters.
  Computers: Sergei Lebedev's MESM and BESM in the early 1950s were indeed on par with or even ahead of European developments.
  But these were "pinpoint" victories. Stalin's economy operated like a giant funnel: it collected the best scientists into sharashkas and design bureaus, giving them unlimited resources, but taking them away from the rest of society.
  2. Why didn't this help win the Race of the 60s?
  The economic race is not just about the best tank, it is about the average level of technology across the country.
  The implementation problem: The USSR could create a brilliant computer prototype, but they couldn't mass-produce it for factories, banks, or schools. The technology remained "locked" in the military sector.
  Cybernetics is a "pseudoscience": In the late 1940s, the ideological machine began to crush genetics and cybernetics. While Lebedev was building the BESM, official propaganda called computers "the whore of imperialism." This created a fatal lag in the thinking of managers.
  A domestic failure: While the USSR was building the world's best rockets, it couldn't provide its citizens with quality shoes, housing, or medicine. The West benefited because its military technologies (radars, jet engines, transistors) immediately migrated to the civilian sector, generating profits that flowed back into science.
  3. Resource limit
  Stalin built a mobilization economy. It's effective when it comes to winning a war or rebuilding the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station. But in the 1960s, the world transitioned to a consumer economy and microelectronics.
  Producing millions of microchips doesn't require orders or executions, but thousands of private initiatives, freedom of exploration, and complex logistics. Stalin's model, with its "volume plan" (when it's advantageous for a factory to produce heavy and simple items rather than complex and light ones), simply wasn't designed for such delicate work.
  Bottom line: the USSR could build the best spacecraft in the world, but it could not build an economy that would "feed" this spacecraft in the long term without a bread shortage.
  Do you think that if Stalin hadn't fired geneticists and cyberneticists, would the USSR have become a world leader in IT back in the 1950s?
  CHAPTER No 22.
  Princess Rey, too, had access to the light side of the Force this time. The primary center and source of the dark side is the spirit of Emperor Palpatine. He possessed such a gift that destroying flesh was pointless; he would have possessed a clone, or anyone, even Jabba the Hutt, or a less-than-advanced Jedi.
  You need to find all seven Crimguards, and then the spirit of this monster will crumble into unter-preons.
  Princess Marshal Leia is also trying to get into the swing of things here. She looks like a young woman and is very shapely. Her high level of light side affinity slows down the process of building, and she looks magnificent.
  Next, Ahsoka Tana is a beautiful warrior, but not of the human race.
  And two Jedi boys - Obi Wan and Luke Skywalker!
  However, since Yoda refused to become a clone and preferred to remain a disembodied spirit, why not summon the third Jedi - Qui-Gon Jinn? It seems he wouldn't mind becoming a boy.
  And thus the Jedi resurrected from the spirit world form a quartet.
  Obi-Wan, by the way, was surprised how he managed to defeat Darth Vader, a much more talented Jedi.
  How was Obi Wan Kenobi able to defeat the more talented and younger Darth Vader?
  Obi-Wan's victory over Anakin on Mustafar is a classic example of how experience, discipline, and self-control trump pure power and talent.
  Here are the main reasons why the weaker (in terms of Force power) Kenobi turned out to be stronger that day:
  1. Psychological state (Style vs. Emotions)
  Anakin was at the peak of his physical power, but his mind was clouded by rage and pride.
  Anakin fought to destroy, making wide, aggressive attacks that expended colossal amounts of energy.
  Obi-Wan fought to survive and protect. He maintained a cool head, allowing him to see the gaps in his apprentice's defenses.
  2. Mastery of Defense (Form III: Soresu)
  Obi-Wan was considered an absolute master of Soresu, the most defensive form of lightsaber combat.
  Its essence is: economical movements, creating an impenetrable shield and waiting for the enemy to make a mistake.
  Anakin used Djem So (an offensive form), which required tremendous strength. Kenobi simply wore Vader down, driving him mad with the inability to penetrate his defenses.
  3. Knowing the enemy
  Obi-Wan trained Anakin for over ten years. He knew his every move, his favorite combination, and, most importantly, his personality. He understood that Anakin was impulsive and, at a critical moment, would choose the most effective, but riskiest, maneuver.
  4. The famous "High Ground"
  The phrase "It's over, Anakin! I have the high ground" is not just words.
  In fencing, being on top offers a tactical advantage. Obi-Wan assumed a defensive position, from which any leap by Anakin would leave him vulnerable for a split second.
  Anakin, blinded by his belief in his own exceptionalism, decided he was "above" the laws of physics and tactics. The result: the loss of limbs.
  5. Spiritual aspect
  Anakin was no longer a Jedi at that point, but had not yet become a full-fledged Sith Lord. He was in a state of internal discord. Obi-Wan, on the other hand, was completely at one with the Force, fulfilling his duty.
  Bottom line: Anakin lost not to Kenobi, but to himself-to his pride and impatience. Obi-Wan simply allowed it to happen.
  Interestingly, Vader didn't make the same mistakes in their final encounter on the Death Star. Want to discuss why the outcome was different in A New Hope?
  Princess Rey confirmed:
  - We really want to!
  With pleasure! In A New Hope, we see a completely different battle pattern and a different motivation. If on Mustafar it was tragedy and fury, then on the Death Star it was a chess match, where Obi-Wan consciously chose defeat.
  This is why the outcome was exactly like this:
  1. Vader has worked on his mistakes.
  By the time of Episode IV, Vader is no longer the impulsive youth he once was.
  Style Change: Due to his heavy armor, he adopted a more economical and forceful style. He stopped flitting and jumping, becoming a methodical killing machine.
  Patience: Vader no longer looked for trouble. He simply pressed Obi-Wan, realizing that the old Master would not physically endure a long fight.
  2. Obi-Wan Kenobi has aged
  Ben Kenobi was about 57 years old at the time, but life in the Tatooine desert and his disconnection from the Force (he hadn't actively practiced for a long time) had taken a toll on his physical fitness. He knew he could no longer defeat Vader with swordsmanship. His body was weak, while Vader was bolstered by the power of cybernetics and the dark side.
  3. Highest Goal: "To become stronger than you can imagine."
  This is the most important reason. Obi-Wan didn't come to the Death Star to kill Vader. His objectives were:
  Distraction: Give Luke, Leia, and Han time to reach the Falcon.
  Becoming a spirit mentor: Kenobi realized that as a living old man, he was a burden to Luke, one he would forever fear. Becoming a "Force ghost," he could guide Luke anywhere and anytime, while remaining invulnerable to Vader's lightsaber.
  4. Psychological blow to Vader
  When Obi-Wan suddenly lowered his lightsaber and closed his eyes, he performed an act of absolute spiritual triumph. Vader struck, but Ben's body vanished. This came as a shock to Vader: he had lost to his master again, unable to comprehend where his enemy had disappeared to. This planted a seed of doubt in him that would later help Luke return his father to the Light.
  Bottom line: In A New Hope, Obi-Wan didn't "lose" the fight. He completed his mission by voluntarily transitioning to the next plane of existence.
  Do you think, if Obi-Wan hadn't given up, he would have been able to hold out against Vader for at least a couple more minutes, or would Vader have finished him off physically anyway? Share your thoughts.
  Here, Princess Rey, not without reason a representative of the fair sex, asked a very important question for all women:
  Why do Jedi, despite their powers, age almost like normal people?
  That's a great question, because it seems like control over the universe's energy should grant eternal youth. But in the world of Star Wars, things work a little differently.
  Here are the main reasons why Sila doesn't help with wrinkles:
  1. Strength is not a rejuvenation magic
  The Force gives a Jedi stamina, reflexes, and a surge of energy in battle, but it does not alter the biological structure of cells. The body remains a protein organism that wears out. The Force is the "fuel" that helps move faster, but the "engine" (the body) still ages according to the laws of nature.
  2. Acceptance of the natural cycle
  This is the fundamental difference between the Jedi and the Sith.
  The Sith (like Palpatine) are obsessed with cheating death and prolonging physical life at any cost, using dark rituals.
  The Jedi believe in the Natural Order. For them, death and aging are a part of life. Resisting aging for a Jedi means showing selfishness and attachment to the material world, which leads to the Dark Side.
  3. Enormous stress on the body
  The life of a Jedi is one of constant stress, injury, and immense mental strain. Channeling enormous currents of Force energy during battle exhausts the body. Think of Obi-Wan on Tatooine: in 19 years in the desert, he transformed from a robust man into a very old man. He was weighed down not only by the sun, but also by guilt and the weight of responsibility.
  4. Species characteristics
  Jedi age according to their race.
  People live the standard human lifespan.
  Yoda lived for 900 years not because he was a Grand Master, but because his species lives for centuries. The Force merely kept him alive until his last breath, but even he could barely walk without a cane by the end.
  5. Transition to a Different State
  For an experienced Jedi, the pinnacle of mastery is not an eternal body, but the ability to become a Force ghost. Why cling to an old, feeble body when you can merge with the Force and achieve true immortality?
  Bottom line: The Force is a Jedi's ally, not their medicine. They prefer to age gracefully, seeing it as wisdom rather than weakness.
  Do you think that if the Jedi used the Force to rejuvenate themselves, would it make their order stronger or, on the contrary, speed up their fall to the Dark Side?
  This is a direct path to the Dark Side, and here's why:
  1. The problem of attachment
  The Jedi Code teaches one to let go of everything one fears losing. Trying to rejuvenate oneself is the highest form of attachment to oneself and one's physical body. As soon as a Jedi begins to fear old age and death, fear creeps into their heart, which, as we know, leads to suffering and downfall.
  2. Similarity to the Sith
  It's the Sith who are obsessed with cheating death (think Plagueis or Palpatine). If the Jedi began using the Force to rejuvenate themselves, the line between the light and dark orders would blur. Instead of serving the will of the Force, they would begin to bend the Force to their own selfish desires.
  3. Stagnation of the Order
  Aging guarantees the succession of generations. If masters like Yoda or Mace Windu lived forever in young bodies:
  Students (padawans) would not be able to take a seat on the Council for decades.
  The Order would become even more conservative and out of touch with reality.
  Wisdom would be replaced by a thirst to maintain the status quo.
  4. Balance distortion
  The Force is the natural energy of life and death. Using it to stop biological time is a "hacking" of the system. Such rejuvenation would likely require a massive expenditure of energy, which the Jedi would have to "siphon" from the surrounding world, a dark practice in itself.
  Result: This would make the Order physically stronger in the short term, but would destroy it spiritually. The Jedi would become immortal tyrants, convinced of their own righteousness.
  Do you think Anakin would have been able to stay on the Light Side if the Jedi had officially possessed the healing or life-extending techniques he so dreamed of for Padmé's sake?
  It likely wouldn't have saved him, but merely delayed his downfall. Anakin's problem wasn't a lack of technology, but a lack of psychology.
  Here's why "legal" immortality would hardly help:
  1. Shifting the boundaries of control
  Anakin suffered from a desire for control. Even if the Jedi had given him a healing technique, he wouldn't have been satisfied. First, he would have wanted to save Padmé from childbirth, then from old age, then from any scratch. His love was possessive. Sooner or later, the Order would have told him, "Stop, this is the natural order of things," and Anakin would still have gone to Palpatine for "forbidden" knowledge to circumvent that prohibition.
  2. Palpatine would have found another hook.
  The Chancellor was a master of manipulation. If healing had been available, he would have whispered to Anakin that "the Council is hiding true resurrection from you" or "they only use it for their own, but they won't let your wife have it." Palpatine's goal wasn't to provide Anakin with a solution to his problem, but to sow distrust in his teachers.
  3. The essence of the Jedi path
  The Jedi did not officially master such techniques precisely because it contradicted their philosophy of letting go. If the Order had permitted "life extension," it would have ceased to be the Jedi Order and turned into a caste of immortal mages. Anakin, seeing that death could be cheated, would have lost his last connection to reality and the balance of the Force.
  4. Prophecy of the Chosen One
  Anakin's destiny was to bring balance by destroying both the Sith and (indirectly) the ossified Order. His inner conflict was inevitable. Even with healing techniques in hand, his fear of loss and anger would remain-he would simply become an immortal and extremely dangerous Jedi, who could still fall due to pride.
  Bottom line: Anakin didn't need a "cure for Padmé," but psychotherapy and the ability to accept the situation. A healing technique would only give him the illusion of omnipotence, which leads straight to the Dark Side.
  Here Princess Rey asked Obi-Wan Kenobi another question.
  Do you think that if Qui-Gon Jinn had survived the battle with Darth Maul, he could have become the mentor who would have taught Anakin to cope with his fears without turning to the Sith?
  Most likely, yes. Many fans, and George Lucas himself, consider Qui-Gon's death the turning point after which Anakin's fate was sealed. The soundtrack to their duel is not called "Duel of the Fates" for nothing-the future of the Chosen One was at stake.
  Here's why Qui-Gon would have been able to keep Anakin on the Light Side:
  1. He understood the "Living Force"
  Unlike the dogmatic Council and Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon believed in following one's instincts and feelings in the here and now.
  He wouldn't stop Anakin from loving Padmé or missing his mother.
  Instead of dry quotations from the Codex ("let go of your fear"), he would have helped the boy experience these emotions without suppressing them. Anakin wouldn't have had to lie and hide, which was the main reason for his vulnerability to Palpatine.
  2. He was a rebel
  Qui-Gon often argued with the Council. Anakin would have seen him as a mentor who also didn't fit into the system.
  This would create a unique "outcast" bond between them.
  Anakin wouldn't have to seek understanding from Chancellor Palpatine because he would get it from his Master.
  3. A father figure, not a brother
  Obi-Wan became an older brother to Anakin-they grew up together, arguing and competing. Obi-Wan himself was still learning to be a Master.
  Qui-Gon was a mature, calm, and wise man. Anakin, who grew up without a father, desperately needed just such an unquestionable father figure, capable of gently but firmly directing his power in the right direction.
  4. Immunity to Palpatine's manipulations
  Qui-Gon would likely have been the first to sense rot in the upper echelons of power. He distrusted politics and wouldn't have allowed Anakin to become the Chancellor's "gofer." It would have been far more difficult for Palpatine to gain access to the boy over the shoulder of such an experienced and suspicious Master.
  Bottom line: With Qui-Gon, Anakin could have become a "gray Jedi"-one who follows the Force, not the dictates of politicians or rigid rules. He wouldn't have fallen because his inner vacuum would have been filled with understanding and acceptance, not fear and lies.
  Do you think the Jedi Council would have agreed to keep Anakin in the Order if Qui-Gon had started teaching him "his methods," which went against the official Code? Share your opinion.
  A serious schism would likely have arisen, potentially leading to Qui-Gon leaving the Order along with his apprentice. The Jedi Council of the time was too rigid, and Qui-Gon's methods too radical.
  Here are the three most likely scenarios:
  1. The Gray Jedi Scenario
  Qui-Gon had repeatedly defied the Council. If the Masters had pressured him for "incorrect" training of Anakin (for example, allowing him to maintain contact with his mother), Qui-Gon could have simply resigned his position as Master and gone into voluntary exile, continuing to train the boy as an independent Force user.
  Bottom line: Anakin would have grown up outside of Coruscant politics, making him immune to Palpatine's manipulation.
  2. Scenario "Forced Compromise"
  The Council was terrified of the Sith's return and believed in the prophecy of the Chosen One. Qui-Gon could use this as leverage: "Either I teach him as the Living Force dictates, or you risk losing the one who will bring balance."
  Bottom line: The Masters (especially Yoda) would grumble, but allow Qui-Gon to operate independently, effectively creating an "autonomous cell" within the Order.
  3. Scenario "Conflict and Exclusion"
  Mace Windu and other conservatives might have felt that Qui-Gon's methods only deepened the darkness within Anakin. If the Council had officially forbidden Qui-Gon from training the boy, he would have submitted to the will of the Force, not the Masters.
  Result: Exile. But for Anakin, it would have been salvation-he would have seen his Master as an example of how one could be a hero and follow the light without being a slave to the bureaucratic system.
  The main risk for the Council
  If Qui-Gon had raised Anakin "his way," the Council would have lost control of the most powerful weapon in the galaxy. For politicians like Windu, this was unacceptable. That's why they would have tried to the bitter end to "re-educate" Anakin or force someone more loyal (like Obi-Wan) to mentor him.
  Bottom line: The Council likely wouldn't have "agreed" but would have resigned itself to Qui-Gon's death as long as he was alive. But after his natural death, Anakin would still have faced pressure from the system.
  Do you think Anakin would have been able to realize on his own, without teachers, that Palpatine was evil, if Qui-Gon had simply taught him to trust his instincts and not the rules?
  Share, do you think Qui-Gon is an ideal teacher, or could his "rebellion" also have led to dangerous consequences?
  Qui-Gon Jinn is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, he's the only one who could save Anakin, but on the other, his methods carry enormous risks.
  Why he seems like the perfect teacher:
  Empathy instead of dogma: Qui-Gon understood that a nine-year-old boy couldn't simply "forget" his mother. He wouldn't forbid his emotions, but teach him to manage them. This would deprive Palpatine of his greatest asset-the image of his "only understanding friend."
  Living Force: His emphasis on intuition would have helped Anakin listen to the Force itself, not the Council's orders. This would have made the Chosen One more whole and calm.
  Honesty: Qui-Gon didn't play politics. Anakin valued sincerity above all else, and there would have been absolute trust between them.
  What was the danger of his "rebellion":
  Lack of discipline: Anakin was already prone to self-will. A rebellious Master could have unwittingly encouraged him to believe that "rules are made for others, not for me." It's a dangerous path that easily veers into Sith arrogance.
  Risk of Isolation: If Qui-Gon had taken Anakin away from the Order, the boy would have been left without the support of a vast community. If something happened to Qui-Gon (illness or death in battle), Anakin would have been left alone with his colossal power and his resentment towards the entire world.
  Unprepared for temptation: Qui-Gon believed in the light side of humanity. He may have underestimated how deeply Palpatine was willing to sink his claws into the boy's soul. Obi-Wan was strict because he feared for Anakin; Qui-Gon could be too lenient.
  Bottom line: Qui-Gon was the perfect teacher for Anakin's personality, but a risky mentor for the Chosen One. His training could have created either the greatest defender of the light or a "gray" overlord who dispensed justice at his own discretion, without regard for anyone.
  Do you think if Anakin had become a "Gray Jedi" under Qui-Gon's guidance, would he have ultimately fulfilled the prophecy and destroyed the Sith before the Clone Wars began? Share your scenario.
  It's a gripping scenario that fundamentally changes the entire political map of the galaxy. Had Qui-Gon survived and raised Anakin as a "Gray Jedi," the prophecy would likely have been fulfilled much sooner and with fewer casualties.
  Here's my scenario of how it might happen:
  1. Lack of psychological vacuum
  Qui-Gon would have allowed Anakin to maintain contact with his mother (Shmi Skywalker). Shmi would not have died in the Tusken Raiders' clutches because Qui-Gon would have insisted on her release much sooner.
  Result: Anakin has no pent-up rage or fear of loss. His psyche is stable.
  2. Exposing Palpatine through Intuition
  Qui-Gon taught us to trust the Living Force (instincts here and now), and not political constructs.
  Scenario: When Palpatine began approaching Anakin with "friendly advice," Qui-Gon, being extremely suspicious of politicians, would quickly sense the falsehood. Instead of following the Council's orders to "observe," Qui-Gon and Anakin could conduct their own investigation of the Chancellor, unfettered by Jedi bureaucracy.
  3. Anakin as the "Dark Detector"
  Anakin, unconstrained by rigid restrictions, would have maintained a purer connection to the Force. Under Qui-Gon's guidance, he would have learned to recognize Force disturbances in people.
  The denouement: During one of his private meetings with the Chancellor, Anakin would have simply "seen" Sidious' true nature. Qui-Gon, unlike Obi-Wan, wouldn't have waited for the Council's approval-they would have struck first.
  4. The Clone Wars would not have started
  If Sidious (Palpatine) is exposed and destroyed before the events on Geonosis, then:
  Count Dooku (Qui-Gon's former apprentice) might not have fallen completely. Seeing Qui-Gon alive, he might have returned to the light or remained a political idealist without becoming a Sith.
  The clone army would have remained unused, and Order 66 would never have been activated.
  Result
  The prophecy would have been fulfilled "surgically." Anakin would have brought balance by eliminating the source of darkness (Palpatine), but would have preserved the Jedi Order (though Qui-Gon would likely have forced the Order to undergo significant reform).
  The main question: Would Anakin have been able to become as powerful as he did in canon without the "school of suffering," or was it pain that was the catalyst for his incredible strength?
  Do you think Anakin would have been happy in such a "drab" life, or would his ambitions still have driven him to power and glory? Share your thoughts.
  This is a great question that gets to the heart of Anakin's character. My opinion: he would have been much happier, but his nature would still seek "extremes."
  That is why the "gray" life under Qui-Gon"s wing would be both a salvation and a test for him:
  1. Quenching the "thirst for justice"
  Anakin hated injustice and slavery since childhood.
  In the Order: They told him to "sit and meditate while people in the galaxy suffer because the Senate didn't give the order." This infuriated him.
  With Qui-Gon: As "Gray Jedi," they could fly around the Outer Rim and actually help people without having to ask politicians for permission. This would give Anakin the sense of real significance he sorely lacked.
  2. No double life
  Anakin's greatest misfortune was lying. He hid his marriage to Padmé for years, and the fear of being exposed burned him from within.
  Qui-Gon would probably say, "Love? Love. But remember that this is your weakness, and learn to live with it."
  The opportunity to be himself, and not the "ideal poster Jedi," would make his psyche much more stable.
  3. But... Ambition won't go away.
  Anakin is an "A-personality" by nature. He is the best pilot, the most powerful Force user, a war hero.
  The "gray" life of a wandering knight may sooner or later seem too small to him.
  His ambition wasn't money, but control. He wanted to "bring order" to the galaxy, so that no one would cry anymore. Without the Order's strict discipline or Qui-Gon's wise restraint, he might begin to "bring good" by force, becoming a kind of "noble tyrant."
  4. The role of Padme
  Padmé Amidala was a senator and believed in democracy. If Anakin had become a "gray" nomad, their paths might have diverged professionally. Could he have been simply a "senator's husband" in a supporting role? Unlikely.
  Bottom line: Anakin would have been happy as a human being, given the freedom to feel and act. But his inner messiah (the Chosen One) would have constantly pushed him toward greater deeds. With Qui-Gon, he would have had the chance to channel this energy into creation, not destruction.
  Do you think Anakin would have been able to accept the role of a simple protector if he saw that the Galaxy was still plunging into chaos without a "strong hand"?
  Share, do you believe that there was an original "spark of darkness" in him that even an ideal teacher would not have extinguished?
  EPILOGUE.
  Stalin and Putin continued to rule the country, which was recovering from the Great War. And at the same time, they issued decrees encouraging the birth rate.
  In particular, polygamy was effectively legalized and enshrined in the Family Code. Anti-abortion measures were also tightened, and contraceptives were further restricted.
  Stalin-Putin wanted to increase the population and seize the moment when unrest would begin within the Third Reich, in order to try to recapture part, and perhaps even all, of the territory of the USSR.
  Stalin-Putin had extensive plans and ambitions.
  At the same time, he took other measures. In particular, they prepared a potion for him made from breast milk and rejuvenating hormones.
  Still, I really didn"t want to die, although what could I do?
  At the same time, the leader was massaged by numerous girls, and this was very invigorating.
  Stalin-Putin even began to roar from time to time:
  There are women in our Russia,
  They fly a plane jokingly...
  What is the most beautiful thing in the universe,
  He'll easily kill the enemy!
  
  They are born to win,
  To glorify Rus' for centuries,
  After all, our great grandfathers,
  They gathered an army for them at once!
  Stalin-Putin allowed girls to touch and caress him. He also tried drinking blood, which was extracted in small amounts from infants. No, they didn't kill them, they simply took a little blood from thousands of infants. And mixed it with breast milk.
  Stalin-Putin, having drunk blood, became drunk and sang:
  In the Name of Rod, with Jesus,
  In the name of the Russian Christ...
  We will defeat the enemy with skill,
  A girl's tear is pure!
  Don't be weaklings, children,
  Chop furiously with your sword...
  Christ is forever in our hearts,
  How strong Stalin is with Ilyich!
  Well, why are we beating Batu's horde?
  Guyuk is defeated, his head is cut off...
  Boys and girls barefoot,
  It's not proper to be a pot!
  This is Rus' in the young heart,
  We loaded the flamethrower...
  In a very strange sign,
  The damned orcism will be destroyed!
  Oh, we are so in a tough fight,
  We drive the orcs like goats...
  With my cool girl,
  In the name of Lada, the mother of all foundations!
  We also love Mary,
  After all, she gave birth to Christ...
  The Slavs are ancient Aryans,
  Who are countless in battles!
  Well, what else have they cut down the khan?
  The lustful Burundai has fallen...
  They killed the evil boss,
  Hell awaits him, not heaven!
  When he put pressure on the princess,
  Now his retribution awaits...
  Believe me, this is nasty stuff.
  But the monster will get his comeuppance!
  We are the children of Lada and Yarilo,
  We can make a clear contribution...
  We have such powers, you know, And the Mongols are in disarray here!
