The overall death toll of Marxist-Leninist ideologies in the Soviet Union and the neighboring states easily exceeds ten million, much of it credited to Lenin's protege, Joseph Stalin. Saddam Hussein - Iraq  the absolute ruler of Iraq up until his capture and eventual execution by US forces aligned with the United States of America. Saddam espoused a blend of nationalism and secular socialism. It is estimated that at leas...

Image
MOC in Lego Universe means My Own Creation Introducing The Krinkov The "Krinkov" is a popular nickname for the Soviet AKS-74U, a compact, short-barreled carbine designed in the 1970s.
