Spoiler: Feeding polar bears from a tank, 1950

Only Russian would do this.

Spoiler: Einstein at the beach, 1939

I don't know why I like this picture so much. Einstein's just chilling.

Spoiler: Himmler with his daughter, 1938

Always a bit unnerving to see just how human people like Hitler and Himmler could be. We like to think of them as cackling monsters 24/7 but that isn't true.

Spoiler: The London milkman, 1940

Fuck the bombs, people will get their milk.
