On this day in 1983, the ARPANET network officially switched to using the TCP/IP protocol, effectively creating the Internet.

"January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet. Prior to this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other."

The Soviet Union was created on December 30, 1922! It remains one of mankind's greatest achievements.
Here is a 🧵 with some of the highlights:

USSR provided free education to all citizens resulting in literacy rising from 33% to 99.9%.
Soon after formation, adult education schools popped up in every town and every village.

USSR doubled life expectancy in just 20 years. A newborn child in 1926-27 had a life expectancy of 44.4 years, up from 32.3 years thirty years before. In 1958-59 the life expectancy for newborns went up to 68.6 years. the Semashko system of the USSR increased lifespan by 50% in 20 years. By the 1960's, lifespans in the USSR were comparable to those in the USA.

Quality of nutrition improved after the Soviet revolution, and the last time USSR had a famine was in 1940s.

By 1983, they had become completely food sovereign and eating better than Americans (according to the CIA)

The CIA has also declassified documents admitting that there was collective leadership even in Stalin's time.

USSR built solar power plants as early as 1930!

The Soviet Union declared the US apartheid campaign against their own black citizens were genocide.

USSR moved from 58.5-hour work weeks to 41.6 hour work weeks (-0.36 h/yr) between 1913 and 1960.

USSR averaged 22 days of paid leave in 1986 while USA averaged 7.6 in 1996.

In 1987, people in the USSR could retire with pension at 55 (female) and 60 (male) while receiving 50% of their wages at a at minimum. Meanwhile, in USA the average retirement age was 62-67 and the average (not median) retiree household in the USA could expect $48k/yr which comes out to 65% of the 74k average (not median) household income in 2016.

GDP took off after socialism was established and then collapsed with the reintroduction of capitalism.

The Soviet Union had the highest physician/patient ratio in the world. USSR had 42 doctors per 10,000 population compared to 24 in Denmark and Sweden, and 19 in US.

USSR defeated a smallpox epidemic in a matter of 19 days.

December 21, 1878 Birthday of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin



Under Stalin, the USSR developed at a pace unattainable for the world, in just 20 years making a breakthrough unprecedented in history, which made it possible to defeat the fascist scum that had gathered under its banners the economic and military potential of almost all of Europe. Under Stalin was laid the foundation for our nuclear missile shield and a breakthrough into space. Under Stalin, the cult of knowledge and labor made us strive in science and make world discoveries and breakthroughs. Under Stalin, just two years after the war, cards were abolished and annual price reductions began. Under Stalin, our country and our people enjoyed worldwide recognition and respect.

“The many deeds of our Party and people will be perverted and slandered first of all abroad, and in our country as well. #Zionism, aspiring to world domination, will cruelly avenge us for our successes and achievements. It still considers Russia as a barbaric country, as a raw material appendage. And my name will also be slandered. Many atrocities will be attributed to me.”
J.V. Stalin, 1939

Journalist Carl von Ossietzky was a constant voice against Nazism and rising militarism in 1920s and 1930s Germany. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for it — and he died for it. In this long read for Atavist, Kate McQueen tells his story. "They may condemn us, today, tomorrow, the day after, [and] we will accept it,” he once wrote. “But our pride will be in … becoming more energetic, sharper, denser and tougher. That’s why we are journalists.”
