Criticism

Stalin said this about the film: "Pudovkin, for instance, undertook the production of a film on Nakhimov without studying the details of the matter, and distorted historical truth. The result was a film not about Nakhimov but about balls and dances with episodes from the life of Nakhimov".[1][2]

gollark: Not so risky that you could lose an *unknowable* amount of money.
gollark: Which probably means high premiums, which means people won't buy it and then complain when something bad happens.
gollark: Pandemic insurance which didn't run on the government strategy of "just borrow tons of money and hope it doesn't break things" would need lots of money saved.
gollark: Same here with "national insurance", allegedly, but it just goes into the main government moneypile.
gollark: They give you money if you're unemployed *maybe* subject to some preconditions because government, and you *maybe* pay taxes (here, people below a certain income don't).
