Maybe the Finns did it.

Maybe the Finns did it.

Or the Poles

Not the mention the 500k who fled the country.

Jack Todd is Russian?

Kind of amazing how triggered right wingers and culture warriors are simply by a random little girl (well, young woman now probably—fuck I’m getting old) campaigning for environmental causes.

That old soviet shit nowhere near as bad as this new stuff tbh.

[lecoqsportif]

Though I once read that Welk’s biggest challenge was managing all the affairs, two-timing and soap operas among the talent. Apparently, it was a major hook up scene.
