The Soviet Union was once the beacon of revolutionary ambition-an empire driven by visions of progress, technological greatness, and a new world order. But beneath the promises of prosperity and global dominance lay a flawed system shackled by rigid ideology, political control, and missed opportunities. 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘭 explores the untold story of Soviet ambition and the tragic path that led to its collapse. Drawing on profound historical insights and philosophical reflection, this collection of written works and authentic personal stories examines the remnants of a fallen empire-its technological dreams half-realized, its people constrained by conformity, and its once-mighty aspirations reduced to a shadow of what could have been. Through gripping narratives and deep analysis, uncover how Soviet innovation paints the tragic beauty of mankind's struggle against a system that could never reconcile ideology with the demands of modernity.

//The technology mention in this story exists, or is achievable, or on early stages, or with no connection to one another, most lacking funds, all with the same goal, to unlock the human potential// At the fall of a country unable to keep up with the ever-changing wimp of a world ruled by greed and power, a character eager to be part of a new way to see the world, dared to break the program to look front and sidelong to where he was being led, and who he was expected to be by starting from zero, creating a new era twenty three years ago. Now in the year 2047, after saving himself and a country by using the logic view of technology to create a tower, one of the tallest buildings in the world, where he gathered all he had learnt and with the hep of other kindred minds, putting to the test every scientific discovery the world had at the service of the only living creature capable of understanding how our reality came to exist, now 'The Vase' became the starting point of a world ruled by logic, with the sight set on the future. But to do so he needs to show the human race where he is standing and how is it possible to reach it, using every kind of platform to launch his achievements-after failing to use his words- and proves to reach the western world into facing their errors and to show how capitalism and the political megalomania will eventually fail the human race as it has done to many other kingdoms. Will Oliva, a young character game creator, social media content persona and art history student, be willing to do so? Would she be able to achieve her goals? Can she use her love tribal art, mythic lore and romantic creations to be part of a realm heading towards a new era? Or will she let herself be shaped by the technocratic view of his world? Join Olivia Annealth as she tells the story of a newborn way to write the future of humankind. Updates every first o the month #AI #notwritenbyanAI #Scyfi #arthistory #16+ #fortheLGBTIQ+ #Politics

Each Blade is assigned a target, called a "Point," and they have exactly three days to eliminate them. If they fail, the consequences are brutal. Tasked with eliminating their target within a perilous three-day window, the Blades face the dire consequence of failure: either the Point is given the ultimate right to revenge, or the ruthless government steps in to execute the assassin for non-completion.
