Day 821
1938
It does feel like a little bit 1939. That’s when Bernard Shaw won an Oscar for writing the screenplay for Pygmalion, which later became the famous Broadway musical My Fair Lady. A lot of other stuff, much of it bad, happened that year. For example, the start of World War II.
The year also marks the German-Russian liberation campaign in Poland. Every fifth Ukrainian died from then until 1944, in Belarus — one in four.
On June 6, Uncle Joe and Z are scheduled to attend the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. The two leaders are expected a week later in Fasano, Italy for the G7 pow wow. No one expects Vova to attend either event because he is too busy invading Ukraine.
