Emil Spiridonov, a Russian admiral in 1981...

Emil Spiridonov, a Russian admiral in 1981. He and fifteen other Russian admirals boarded an airplane he'd overloaded with random bullshit he'd bought, like a car and 1000 kilograms of newspapers, and the airplane immediately crashed and killed everyone. 16 admirals died that day, more than all the Russian admirals die during WWII combined, times four.

kek what a dumb fuck

The investigation of the accident revealed that the crew allowed the aircraft to be improperly loaded. Evidence was uncovered that led investigators to believe that some military officers did not comply with seating assignments given by the crew and that these officers pressured the crew to make the flight in an unsafely loaded aircraft. Another factor reported by witnesses was that large rolls of printing paper were loaded on board, and these are believed to have rolled rearward during acceleration on take-off, causing the center of gravity to shift aft of acceptable limits, thereby reducing the stability of the aircraft in pitch, making lowering the nose impossible for the crew.[1][2][3][4]

An efficient communist economy, my friend.
Total deficit and poverty.

The total deficit and poverty forced even the general to buy all sorts of junk in the center in order to take it to the outskirts.

Ahem... fuck commies.

Are you allowed to criticize the Communist Party like that?
