About Younghusband

Sir Francis Edward Younghusband (1863-1942) was a British explorer, army officer, military-political officer, and foreign correspondent born in India who led expeditions into Manchuria, Kashgar, and Tibet. He three times tried and failed to scale Mt. Everest and journeyed from China to India, crossing the Gobi desert and the Mustagh Pass (alt. c.19,000 ft/5,791 m) of the Karakoram mountain range in modern day Pakistan. Convinced of Russian designs on British interests in India, Younghusband proactively engaged in the nineteenth century spying and conflict over Central Asia between the British and the Russians known as the Great Game. "Younghusband" is a Canadian who has spent a number of years bouncing back and forth between his home country and Japan. Fluent in Japanese and English with experience in numerous other languages from Spanish to Georgian, Younghusband has travelled throughout Asia. He graduated with an MA from the War Studies Department at the Royal Military College of Canada, where he focussed on the Japanese oil industry and energy security issues. He has recently returned to Canada from Japan, and is working in the technology sector.

    T least it isn’t “National Socialist monopoly”, I’d hate to see what there would be in place of “go to jail”.

    Ah, I wish I hadn’t seen that. One minute into it and it pissed me off… first of all, there was no “Russian mafia” under communism, but a state-run mafia known as the Communist Party… second of all bread lines appeared under perestroika and NOT before… inflation was a post-communist phenomenon, not communist… and finally most Russians never let their shoes get tattered, and no, this is finally, the most offensive:

    Kalinka is a RUSSIAN COSSACK folk song (adored by Whites and Reds alike), NOT a communist song. It’s a love song. If the makers of this extremely poorly-informed video would like, I can provide them with at least fifteen different REAL communist songs in Russian and in several other languages. The Internationale would be a good start.

    Grrr, I hate it when people confuse Russia, Perestroika, the USSR, and communism.

    Worst of all, it could have been so much funnier if communism itself had been parodied, as there is well nigh enough material for that alone. And it would be much more educational.
