Some #Soviet history for you:
The technological heart of the #USSR was #Ukraine
#Dnipropetrovsk (aka #Dnipro) was nicknamed "Rocket City" during the #ColdWar
So when #Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukrainian innovation answered. Russia has been paying for that miscalculation ever since, and will pay a lot more for their colossal error
Ukrainian ingenuity will win this stupid war

☢️ Old Soviet-era gas masks are common when exploring former USSR countries. Part of intensive state-wide civil defence policies aimed at preparing the entire population for a nuclear, biological, or chemical attack during the Cold War.
Whole boxes stored in basements of hospitals and factories. Sometimes, you may come across a single mask in an unexpected location. These masks have startled me more than once, talking full-on jump scare!
