She is fluent in Russian and German and many of her photos are from the WWI, WWII period. She colorizes photos. Her politics, whatever thy are , are not apparent in her outstanding work. Nonetheless she was recently suspended by Facebook for Nazi glorification. A victim of the algorithm I suppose. All that aside you should not miss her outstanding work.

There is this guy - The Good Cemeterian, who renovates old graves (more Civil War, than anything modern), and his account also got suspended few months ago.

The quality of the images though.... wow - especially looking at the Tsar... amazing stuff

Yep, Facebook probably "thinks" Black Panthers fought at Kursk, but didn't do much during the battle because they had teeth problems.

Still a blank white screen. I even tried dropping the "s" in https. Could be something to do with my browser Internet Explorer or my country not being USA.

EDIT: I could reach WordPress.com which is a web authoring site, but no way to get the klimbim2020 to work. They want me to sign up so it may be that you have rights on the site that I do not.

Feel sorry for the future victims of misguided censorship. "Road to hell..." and "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." quotes both come to mind.

Except it will be so much easier when all books are in the "cloud". Then all you'll need are Admin rights and a delete key.
