Scanning Soviet Documents 

I see you've already taught your cat communist values. She immediately demanded that the new tools be shared. But for real, I really love the scans! It's amazing to read actual soviet pamphlets written in English from the thirties

The best representation of women in history I could ask for!

The Lady’s got an internet Museum!!!🎉🎉🎉

I just checked your page and i'm super impressed with your work!. You're doing something nobody else is doing and a great service to everyone. To me that makes you a special youtuber!. Keep up with the great work!.

You are so awesome, been printing these off like crazy! Thank you so much

Holly molly, getting the scanner was only a third of work there, this procedure will take a lot of patience and, though, it's quick with short pamphlets, but bigger books will surely be a painstaking job! Lady Izdihar, we love you for what you do!

I'm so grateful for your texts ♥️ Love from Chile 🇨🇱 HASTA LA VICTORIA!

I share you're difficulties; my heart truly goes out to you and any mistakes can be revised with good thoughtful comrades

Lady Izdihar, first of all I would like to congratulate you on this great initiative and the solid content on your channel! Second, I've got a proposition for you. Not that long ago I bought a pamphlet (in English) about the Soviet Union. It was published in 1941 and its author is Denis Nowell Pritt. It serves as a short introduction to the "new ally" (of Great Britain), its history up to the above mentioned year and its foreign policy. I would be very happy to share it with you so that you could upload it on your website.

Congrats on getting that scanner! I hope your channel grows well, comrade!

I recently discovered your channel and have been watching and loving all your videos. Thank you for your work!

I'm a stamp collector of the USSR and the many People's republics throughout the Eastern Bloc. It's very important to preserve these sorts of materials, I don't have many books from these periods but I did find a series of monthly books published in Albania during the 1980s. The publication is called "Nentori" (November, the reason is because the Communist party was founded in Nov. 1941) I might try buying some of these books and scanning them, similar to how you have here. However, I love taking photos / videos and uploading my collections online. I think that stamps of the Communist world are very interesting, so many people to learn about, monuments / statues and the many successes of this system shown on small pieces of paper (Think 5 year plans and how many countries improved in lots of areas). One of my favourite things about collecting old envelopes is sometimes you encounter the original contents! So I've got real proof that people lived regular, normal lives and it's so humanizing and interesting to now be in possession of. I have a few letters from East Germany that went to Canada that's just a few updates about a family still in Germany. Some old photographs of family members, etc. I had looked the individual the mail is addressed to and I found his obituary, he sadly passed away a few years ago but to me it means that I have to take real good care of this mail even if it's purpose was fulfilled in the 1960s. I always enjoy watching your videos, they're quite informative and enjoyable!

that cat sure is a baskii kot

The bookshelf and lighting are so comforting

Greetings from Serbia, I find your channel and your personality fascinating. I work in a US company and have a lot of american friends, and boy do you break all the molds and stereotypes. I am also quite interested in history, religion and culture, and the blend of your ideas and perspectives, especially considering your background is just super fascinating. I love your channel and please keep on making this super unique content. I have so many questions for you, please make a q&a? For example, what are all the languages that you speak? How do you identify when it comes to your ethnicity? Do you travel to Romania, Serbia, Russia or Germany often? What of all those places do you like the most? Soo many questions 😁

It's impossible to hoard books! It just becomes a library, especially when others have access :)

thank you for all the pdfs!! i appreciate it so much I've just started reading the "antisemitism in the ussr" book

I watched your video and had to go read this book on your page. It filled me with anxiety as I put myself in the place of a Soviet that was the target audience. What a nightmare it would be to get tangled up in such a web. I wonder how widespread the western cultivation of agents was in the USSR? The book is written from a place of compassion as a sincere warning to help comrades avoid such dire straits while protecting the revolution at the same time. It sheds a little light on to why an iron curtain may be desirable. They truly were the pioneers of our international future. May the groundbreaking Soviet people be vindicated by the efforts of the oppressed peoples of the global south breaking their chains and smashing the impoverished foundations of Western hegemonic might. May it ignite a global proletarian revolution the brings the best of everything to all. May there be no more western spies that seek to roll back the liberation of mankind. May these texts be well-preserved and cherished along with the culture and achievements of the Soviet people. Thanks for doing this.

This is by far one of the best RU-vid channels I've ever stumbled upon!

this is fun to watch, looking forward for your next project

You bring so much joy, Comrade.

I'm so happy it turned out perfectly. Can't wait to check some documents!💖

It really looks like a lot of fun. Dusya is adorable

fluffy cat

Thank you for your work, I've checked out some of the documents on your website and they all look beautiful, so perfectly scanned.

Thank you for doing this Izdihar!

I love the yugoslav flag. Greetings from former Yugoslavia. Death to fascism, freedom to the people!

As We Predicted Comrade....You Are a Work of Poster Worthy work of Socialist Realism with the New Scanner, Let's Just Hope Comrade Cat Stays Distracted with the Box...Keep Up The Valuable Work Comrade !!!!

The scans on your site are just amazing. Grats on the new toy and thanks for sharing your precious docs.

This is amazing - it's so cool to be able to take things that basically no one in the world has access to and just making it so easily available! I wish I could do something similar.

I think you can just get donations for smth in big boxes and then have videos of your cat exploring them.

Very excited for you! thank you for sharing, i definitely know what i'll be doing today. also the way your cat jumped in that box the minute it was available was incredible, she should consider doing some counter-espionage with those reflexes.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your work! It was actually super cool to get a look at that scanner program, and your video on that journey to finding This Soviet World. I'm studying library sciences and what you do for finding/preserving these Soviet documents is just, well, terrific and inspiring. Definitely going to keep diving into collections around here...

Thank you for this awesome work!

Yay! Congratulations!

Thank you so much!

you're amazing. thank you so much!

So good, congratulations and thank you for your contributions!

Thus is great!

THIS IS SO BASEDDDDDD

im so glad you made this video! i was very curious about how it worked lol

1:12 Hahaha, I knew that was coming! Cats really do dig boxes, huh? (I don't have one, though; I'm happy with my doggo. Plus I'm allergic, heh. They're cute, though.) Cool video, very glad you were able to get the scanner, and that you met your goal *and then some!* Glad you're doing what you're doing!

Assalamu Aleikum!! I just came here to say that your scanner IS AMAZING!!!

4:57 lmao wish I could say this every time I struggle to convey my thoughts

Just my luck to get an Epoch Times ad, lol.

YES!!!!!!!

Loving that Yugoslavia flag!😍😍

Thank you! Peace to you and yours. ☭

Loved the unexpected f-bombs, caught me by surprise. 😁Also, please more of fluffy kitty in videos. 🥰

In the background, flag of the best country ever ❤

4:30 As a fellow mortal hazard, I get what you mean. I too have an endless capacity for forgetting things, being late and saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Luckily this unattentiveness is well represented within socialist movements (every socialist youth group seems to consist of 30% people with ADD/ADHD) so you're in good company!

This reminds me: A few months back at a flea market, I found a small little tourist handbook showcasing various sites in and around the city of Kaniv, Ukraine, published in Ukrainian sometime in 1964. It's in almost perfect condition except for a small tear on the back but I found it that way. Wonder if there's any way I can send it to you for scanning?

Western propaganda: "In Soviet Russia, sexy dress is forbidden for women and you're forced to wear babushka forever!☝️" Meanwhile, in RSFSR: *Covers of Soviet Russia Today Vol. 15**

so cool, Love from Pakistan

🥰

Noice

up

honestly think you should put both books you've had both a positive and negative experience with, maybe just add a caption stating your biases and if anything in the book was wrong/should be looked furthur into! ^.^ important to have a large range of texts available even if they're shit LOL

You're the most recent Hero of the Soviet Union. These scans are the only access for some people to ever see this. Do these get run through an OCR so the text can be selected/searched?

but also pls vlog

don’t mind me commenting for the algorithm

Alright you got an upvote for inshallahsalecum comrades

Beautiful lady, how are your clothes perfect after holding that fluffy cat?

I can’t wait to read through the pamphlets on your website. You are one my favourite creators on this platform.

I am a queer communist woman and you are very inspirational to me

This is the most communal thing I've ever seen in my life. Words cannot express my gratitude. Not only for the reading, but also for the gesture. 🥲
