USSR won. But the west, who supported fascism (if it didnt expand into their empires), won too, with lower losses.

People like to shit on the imperial measurements for its inconsistensies, but why is it we have a similarly dogshit one for measuring time?
Well, the time for eath rotation isnt a constant, it will slowly decelerate and days will be longer.
Using multiples of 10 for time was considered, but was a shitty option compared to the current deal. Months should all be 30 days and then have a free week at the end of the year tho, egyptian style.

Why the Soviets rarely discussed the Holocaust

To be clear, the first people killed in extermination camps were socialists. Not jews. The first to be prosecuted were socialists, not jews.
The west decided to focus on jewish people due to the degree of extermination achieved by nazis, and because they hated socialism and didnt want them to be seen as victims, but as evil.

Feet are handier than meters and gallons are better than liters.
Wrong, youre just used to them. I roughly know what a liter of something weights, usually around a kg. A gallon tho? wtf i would know? I can easily compare meters of length to my arms or height, but i need more complex divisions for feet

Thats actually wrong. 6 million jews died.
At least 26 million soviet people died, between soldiers and civilians (including some jews). If all jews were soviet (they werent), it would be 20 millon soviets to 6 million jews.
The genocide attempt on the soviet people remains largely forgotten. 26 million died of 196M, and 14M were in the armed forces by the end of the war. 13% died, 7% was ready to fight. Everyone who lived through WW2 has more than one family member or family friend who died or served.

Youtube is a cesspool, and people who can spend big parts of their time there are indeed young people mostly.
I spend like 3-5h a week on it, mostly on historical videos.

Not like Brazil will need much more than Leo 1 for their neighbours.
Venezuela? Naval+air war and maybe infantry warfare on the rainforest? Not tanks, that is for sure. Also, fighting for jungla.

https://www.almanac.com/how-did-months-get-their-names
March (Martius) was named for Mars, the god of war, because this was the month when active military campaigns resumed. May (Maius) and June (Junius) were also named for goddesses: Maia and Juno. April (Aprilis) is thought to stem from the Latin aperio, meaning “to open”—a reference to the opening buds of springtime. The rest of the months were numbered; their original names in Latin meant the fifth (Quintilis), sixth (Sextilis), seventh (September), eighth (October), ninth (November), and tenth (December) month.
Eventually, January (Januarius) and February (Februarius) were added to the end of the year, giving all 12 months proper names. January was named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions. February’s name is believed to stem from Februa, an ancient festival dedicated to ritual springtime cleaning and washing.
Julian Calendar Updates When Julius Caesar became Pontifex Maximus, he reformed the Roman calendar so that the 12 months were based on Earth’s revolutions around the Sun. It was a solar calendar, as we have today. January and February were moved to the front of the year, and leap years were introduced to keep the calendar year lined up with the solar year.
The winter months (January and February) remained a time of reflection, peace, new beginnings, and purification. After Caesar’s death, the month Quintilis was renamed July in honor of Julius Caesar in 44 BC, and later, Sextilis was renamed August in honor of Roman Emperor Augustus in 8 BC.
Of course, all the renaming and reorganizing meant that some of the months’ names no longer agreed with their position in the calendar (September to December, for example). Later emperors tried to name various months after themselves, but those changes did not outlive them!
