“…The greatest stupidity consisted of the extermination of large segments of their own population. In Stalin's Soviet Union, brutal tactics were used such as the most extensive system of forced labor camps known (Gulags) [42], propaganda, mass indoctrination, famines [43,44] and severe punishment of dissent to try to create the 'Soviet man'. Millions of inhabitants perished in purges and famines.…”

Following one of our research lines, we discuss here the idea of using the last scientific discoveries to explore (and expand) the concept of Übermensch in Nietzsche. This can only be done now because he did not have the necessary elements to do so himself. Some information about evolution, lectotypes, races and ethnicities are presented to be used as the basis of our thesis. Nietzsche’s opinion about human primates is presented: what they are, what they do, and what they need. Friedrich introduces the concept of Übermensch in 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' and based on this text, we compared this concept with the National Socialist and Marxist ‘new man’. Finally, some possible forms of supermen, slaves, cyborgs, etc. are presented and commented.

“…As early as 1925, Stalin stated that "the national [ethnic] question [is], in essence, a peasant question" (Stalin, 15 April 1925as quoted in Graziosi, 2015. According to Nikita Khrushchev, Lazar Kaganovich -the Stalin's deputy in the communist party in the early 1930s -"was fond of saying that every Ukrainian is potentially a nationalist" (Kuromiya, 2008). The concern intensified when peasants, particularly Ukrainian peasants, strongly resisted collectivization in the years just before the famine.…”

“…While drought, blight, and pests contributed to lower harvests (Tauger, 2001), the genocide-level mortality resulted from the callous Soviet response. Despite numerous claims to the contrary, evidence that Joseph Stalin intentionally started the famine to punish Ukrainians for their nationalist sentiments remains murky at best (Kuromyia, 2008). It is crystal clear, however, that the policies of grain distribution and an unwillingness to seek relief from abroad reflected a preference to make Ukraine and Kazakhstan suffer more than elsewhere and profoundly increased the death toll (Cameron, 2010;Davies & Wheatcroft, 2004).…”

Climate history of Russia and the Soviet Union

Russia and the Soviet Union bear great significance for global climate history, but scholarship on this region is still only beginning to develop as a field. While the historiographies of other geographical locations have matured over the past decade, works concerning Russia thus far have appeared in a piecemeal and somewhat disconnected fashion, not yet cohering in a systematic way. Instead, there exist several insightful threads in the environmental history literature on climate. Scholars have examined the history of climate science in Russia, extending from the research of the Academy of Sciences in the eighteenth century to the global thinking about climate change in the late twentieth century. Social scientists have explored the historical roots of Russia's contemporary climate policy. Disasters related to climate have long attracted the attention of historians, though newer works are more in tune with contemporary scholarship on vulnerability and risk. There has also been movement to analyze the varied experiences of the cold in Russia over the long haul. Making an asset out of its apparent lower stage of development, the field of Russian climate history has an opportunity to directly enter advanced scholarly conversations by focusing on the ubiquitous human experiences with climate. Doing so could allow Russian climate history to acquire a position as an innovator among global climate histories.
