In Manchuria, Korea, Karafuto and the Kuriles Soviet forces did commit horrible atrocities against Japanese civilians.

interesting comments on Tesla, i just did a quick little run through of some of the interesting things about his life on my own blog today (namely b/c David Bowie will be playing the supporting-part of Tesla in Christopher Nolan's upcoming film the Prestige.)

You probably would enjoy my post.
