    You were the one who brought up gold in this thread.

    Jesus Christ you tankies are hard of hearing. Here… again.

    Seems your glorious Tankie Nr.3 brought it up quite a few years ago…

    “According to Orlov, Joseph Stalin celebrated the arrival of the gold with a banquet attended by members of the politburo, in which he was famously quoted as saying, “The Spaniards will never see their gold again, just as they don’t see their ears,” an expression based on a Russian proverb.”

        … most of what Orlov said, even under oath, or during his debriefing by the US intelligence officials, or in private discussions with his friend Gazur, has by now been established as outright invention.[7]

        Lol! Quite the duplicitous lot, aren’t you?

        Is there anything you and your ilk say that can be trusted in any way whatsoever?

        But again, you seem to be the only person that actually cares about this gold.

        Only because this thread is flooded with tankies that don’t.

        the USSR to have not aided the Republic,

        It would have been absolutely grand if the USSR actually aided Spain in it’s fight against fascism. But it seems you don’t actually understand the difference between aiding someone and extorting them.
