"Only in Moscow"? The Lunar People's Republic in A Miracle of Science put Beria on their 10,000-ruble bill. As pointed out by the writer, that says something about the LPR's values....
But I logged on to add another oddity – more of a "feel-good" story, really. The Association of the United States Army sent me the following news snippet:
Quote:True Survivor
World War II veteran Milton Zaczek of Prescott, Arizona, is a 101-year-old survivor of two pandemics. As an infant, he contracted the Spanish flu in 1919. In November, he contracted COVID-19 and has since recovered.
What to Watch: Zaczek, who served as an infantryman in the Pacific, said he tried to stay positive after his COVID-19 diagnosis. “Many people have a defeated attitude, but there is hope.”
