@Shield47470325 Yo viví por 4 años en Juncal esq Arroyo (En frente del Estrugamou. En el edificio del final de esa cuadra vivía Julio De Rizzio (Tangalanga). Nos juntábamos a charlar en el Café del Socorro. Ahora vivo en USA y es lo que más extraño.
@GenX_ARG Tuvo baja audiencia inicialmente, pero volvió con mucho éxito con "reruns" cuando los pusieron los Sábados por la mañana. Fue allí cuando despegaron a mercados internacionales gracias a "syndication" (Canales de TV les prestan contenido a medios locales).
On August 25th, 1997, nearly forty years after the policy was implemented, Egon Krenz, a former East German leader, was convicted for his role in the "shoot-to-kill" policy that resulted in numerous East Germans being shot trying to escape.

Sparrows were declared enemies of the people and slaughtered by the millions. The resulting insect plagues destroyed crops and worsened the Great Famine. Central planners declared war on nature… and nature won.

On This Day — August 12–13, 1952
Night of the Murdered Poets: Stalin massacres the greatest living Yiddish writers in a prison basement.
Thirteen leading Soviet Jewish intellectuals, including poets, novelists, and cultural figures, were taken to Moscow’s Lubyanka prison and executed by firing squad on Stalin’s direct orders.
They had been members of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, which the Soviets used during the war to rally Jewish support against the Nazis.
Once the war was over, Stalin turned on them.
They were accused of “Zionism,” “bourgeois nationalism,” and treason. Their real crime was writing in Yiddish and maintaining a distinct Jewish cultural identity inside the Soviet empire.
Stalin destroyed the last major center of Yiddish literature in Europe.
The Night of the Murdered Poets remains one of the clearest proofs that Soviet “anti-fascism” had no problem murdering Jews once they were no longer seen as “useful.”
On August 12th, 1952, in a mass execution called the "Night of the Murdered Poets", thirteen Jewish intellectuals, after having been imprisoned, tortured and convicted on false charges of "counterrevolutionary activity", were executed by the USSR in Lubyanka Prison in Moscow.
