Free Essays / Student research discussion: The USSR entered WW2 in 1941 [2]

History Research Paper



The start of discussion in this thread was prompted by Nathraq, responding to one of OxbridgeFella's previous posts.

It appears nathraq believes Oxbridge was wrong when s/he said the USSR entered WW2 in 1941, however I tend to support this claim.

I would like to discuss this because of the possible differences in the teaching doctrines of our countries. Take me, for example: I grew and went to school in post-soviet period, where the influence of old teachings was still strong.

Now, I claim that the USSR entered WWII on June 22, 1941 when German soldiers invaded its territory (which all was part of the Barbarossa plan). This was back then viewed as a treacherous attack of Germany, which was not expected at all (however massive evidence suggest that Stalin repeatedly ignored intelligence reports claiming Germany was preparing an attack).

Wonder if nathraq's post was made in the heat of the argument or made out of a firm belief this was so (or perhaphs this is what Western historians think of this).

The purpose of this thread is not to start another verbal fight, but rather to try to find a consensus on how history was (and continues to be) interpreted. OxbridgeExpert who should be lobotomized, is by no means welcome to join.

It's either every Brit I know is wrong or you are.

Lol, good point. It looks from her posts that nowadays amount of punctuation used in writing is reversely proportionate to one's level of education. Stream of consciousness rules!

Alex20 the EFL Russian boy.

Yes, I am EFL English speaker. English is my third foreign language. And?

And at the same time you are contradicting your own words:

After 'references' there should be a full stop, a semi-colon, a dash - or a conjunction such as 'so' or 'and'.

As you have rightfully pointed out, 'and' or 'so' could be used. Actually, 'but' was implied there. I won't take it just because you say so, Melissa.

Perhaps you COULD have said Germany and Austria as an analogy...

At first I was going to say that it was like Serbia was a part of Yugoslavia, a better example would be to say that Slovakia is a part of Czech Republic. But what difference does it make if you are still confusing Russian with Ukraine?

It's notable how good you are at cussing left and right in return for comments you get. You are a clown and a troll, nothing more. Too bad Anna and Jan Bobak don't pay enough of their attention to moderating the forum. I opt to ingore every post you make until you get banned. RIP.

Anyway, what do you folks think of getting back to the topic?

Melissa/British male

You are one hell of a clown, Melissa. Keep writing, you have just made my day. I was taking you seriously at first, but it took me a couple of posts to understand it's not worth it.

2 all other writers:

is it only Melissa or is it universally accepted that Ukraine and Russia are one and the same country? It's like saying Northern Ireland is France.

I major in Linguistics, however I want to refocus and pursue a business degree with an emphasis in Finance and/or Management. It appears that the best business schools are essentially in the US - correct me if I am wrong.

WRT,

I apologize for that of course. Obviously I recognize that is not so. Being polite and having respect for other is not part of any university curriculum, because this should be taught in kindergarten and primary school. I just can't put up with how uneducated in her education Melissa is. :-P

Ok, I got the word "Comma" wrong, admit that.

I also have to admit that you are a great demagogue, but nothing more than that.

I shall use that as an example of how NOT to use the comma. YOu cannot in English use a comma to connect two clauses like this.

I would say I can:

Two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) or having a complementary relationship may or may not be separated by commas, depending on preferred style, or sometimes a desire to overcome ambiguity.

Regarding the degree vs. diploma phrasing, I will take note of that. However I am sure you understood the question (metonymy was rather obvious there), but still evaded the question. And I was not asking "rather pointlessly", as you put it - I am selecting a school to continue my education, and if that's what they teach you at school, then your "superior British educational system" sucks big time. Feel sorry for the remaining 7%.

I am shocked to hear UVO is applying fines at random. This makes them no better than thieves, which is sad. I am sorry those guys are drawing and enforcing a picture that everyone from Ukraine is out there to steal other people's money. That's a disgusting feeling I must say.

Writing Careers / Good Writing Services to work as a writer [40]

Strange researcher you are. You say you are good at research and then solemnly declare that some basic research is merely a waste of time. Hm....

On the other hand, there is a lot of controversy going on here (and you have spotted it I think): while some people say a company is good, other say it's a rip-off. To find an answer, you'd better start looking for alternative sources of information. Your research skills will for sure come handy in this case.

Lucky you, I wish we could have the luxury of being able to put a coma wherever it just *looks* right.

[offtopic]

Back in Russia, in the times of Catherine II used to do this trick with comas: whenever the question arose whether to execute or spare life, she could just put a coma in the following:

Execute can't forgive

Cases could be two:
Execute, can't forgive (=death)
Execute can't, forgive (=mercy)

It doesn't translate that well, but you get the message

Sorry to interrupt your scholarly sweet-talk with 106 posts and just two references, let me ask a quick question (asking out of genuine and sincere interest) does all this anger and hatred come together with a superior British diploma?

Writing Careers / Advice Sought! What should I be looking out for when researching companies to work for? [12]

A couple of things I could suggest - register, then take a small order, wait until you get paid; and once that happens, go for it.

Up-front fees = bad
Fines = bad

After reading this forum for a while it gets quite confusing - everyone is dumping tons of **** over other companies and writers, questioning their mental abilities or calling them 'pigs', 'egg-suckers', 'aholes' etc just on the basis of their nationality. Am I being wishful thinking people are good?

Writing Careers / Are Academic Essay Writers Professional Writers? [44]

pheelyks

I have no idea what this means.

What I meant is that a part of being professional is being ethical (among other things). This, in turn, implies (at least in my understanding), that phrases like 'egg-sucker', 'ahole' and such are not to be used towards a person one doesn't even know in person (or is it just general politeness?). But I figured these two have a lasting 'relationship' in this forum, so I am taking away my previous passages.

The "phenomenon" of gathering to talk didn't start in Rome.

Agree. The 'phenomenon' didn't, it's the word I was referring to (e.g. internet forum vs. forum in Rome). I was thinking of a Greek Agora when posting that message, but thought it would pass unnoticed :-P

Your point being....?

My point being, from experience on other Internet forums, is that whenever something similar happens on a regular forum, moderator comes in and kicks some ass. But again, in view of quote 1 and the fact that this forum looks like a place for writing just about anything you think, my point seems irrelevant. Adieu!

hm... it's rather not insulting anyone, rather than just the 'bad guys'. Oh well, the choice is yours...

A forum is a place for discussion, which it is by pure definition, a phenomenon started in ancient Rome. (I know WIki is not good for a reference, but then this is not a scholarly discussion). And there is and should be a difference between a chat (=conversation of two) and a forum (= that of many).

Hope it wasl.

Part of professional behavior is being ethical and not calling each other names. Could you somehow PM each other all those insults and not make this forum a chatroom?

You really got me - Had to overcome my reluctance and register to post a reply =)
