TallBlondJohn Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I was wondering why a society for chemical construction assistance required machine guns: ОСОАВИАХИМ - Society for Assistance to Defense, Aviation, and Chemical Construction (Osoaviakhim), a voluntary mass organization of Soviet citizens that existed from 1927 to 1948. The society’s principal purposes were promotion of a strong national defense, dissemination of military skills among the general population, and education of the people in the spirit of Soviet patriotism. In 1948, Osoaviakhim was replaced by three independent societies: DOSAV (Voluntary Society for Cooperation With the Air Force), DOSARM (Voluntary Society for Cooperation With the Army), and DOSFLOT (Voluntary Society for Cooperation With the Navy). In 1951, these societies were merged in DOSAAF USSR (All-Union Voluntary Society for Cooperation With the Army, Air Force, and Navy). Korolev's rocket research group GIRD was part of Osoaviakhim, as was a glider designer named Oleg Antonov. I knew none of this five minutes ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Very nice! Is it from civil war (Red/Whites) or later? Faud, if I may ask - do you know a story behind the inscription? It is a bit striking... To BM memebers who do not know Russian yet - it means "Our Answer to Rome Pope". So the bomber is the answer. The story must be something interesting.... Something is around - like Stalin's fameous phrase: "How many tanks has Pope?" Cheers Jerzy-Wojtek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was at 1930th years, certainly after the civil war. And what about story - Pius XI Worried by the persecution of Christians in the Soviet Union, Pius XI mandated Berlin nuncio Eugenio Pacelli to work secretly on diplomatic arrangements between the Vatican and the Soviet Union. Pacelli negotiated food shipments for Russia, and met with Soviet representatives including Foreign Minister Georgi Chicherin, who rejected any kind of religious education, the ordination of priests and bishops, but offered agreements without the points vital to the Vatican. Despite Vatican pessimism and a lack of visible progress, Pacelli continued the secret negotiations, until Pius XI ordered them to be discontinued in 1927, because they generated no results and were dangerous to the Church, if made public. The "harsh persecution short of total annihilation of the clergy, monks, and nuns and other people associated with the Church," continued well into the 1930s. In addition to executing and exiling many clerics, monks and laymen, the confiscating of Church implements "for victims of famine" and the closing of churches were common. Yet according to an official report based on the Census of 1936, some 55 percent of Soviet citizens identified themselves openly as religious, while others possibly concealed their belief. Pius XI described the lack of reaction to the persecution of Christians in such countries as the Soviet Union, Mexico, Germany and Spain as a "conspiracy of silence". In, 1937 the Pope issued the encyclical Divini Redemptoris, which was a condemnation of Communism and the Soviet regime." He did name a French Jesuit to go to the USSR and consecrate in secret Roman Catholic bishops. It was a failure, as most of them ended up in gulags or were otherwise killed by the communist regime. The Soviet state apparatus decided to "reply" to the Pope thus). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
